Lying for Money.
From Golfers Weekly.

FROM COIlierS weekly.
Juggling for millions, as 1t is performed
by trust experts, deserves the reception
which is following the exposures. Turning
water into money is safer than selling gold
bricks, because the trust manipulators pur-
chase the ablest legal talent. Morally. be-
tween such performances and easy-mark
thieving schemes, there Is no difference
When the eleventh commandment, or Thou
shalt not be found out" is broken by these
voracious plutocrats, we stand aghast at
the unconcern with which they bleed the
public. Lying for money seems to be con-
sistent with high position in society and
business. Men most conspicuously desired
in society have fattened on bribery and
false pretenses. Some of them have been
honored with public Office Nothing could
be more respectable than they. They are

pies of classes below them as the nobility

ListerisIn and Boards.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Perhaps the latest development of Lister
ism is the doctrine of ''aseptic Silence"

his mouth shut while operating lest bacilli
should emerge with his words. Certain
surgeons, indeed, cover their mouths with
some membrane or other which is designed
cffectually to protect the patient Simi

The Prizes Needed.

The prizes are all d matter of individual
taste. Sometimes turkey designs can be
found in silver ornaments. A real pumpkin.
decorated with ribbon, makes a good BOBBY
prize. The prize winners should be per-
mitted to wear their long strings of gaily-
colored berries, in which they will look like
barbarians.

Wind Up With a Dance.
A Thanksgiving masquerade is the jolliest
end of the day. A dance is always the best
fun there is and the costumes appropriate
to the day difficult enough to be inter-
esting. The scope does not seem broad at
first glance. But thinking will produce
something. An occasional Puritan costume
on the floor is picturesque. Somebody who
does not want to be beautiful can be very
funny as a turkey. A costume of feathers,
topped off with one of the turkey masks to
be had in the toy shops, represents the COB
bier in good fashion. A charming pumpkin
costume can be made of yellow silk. Let

A quiet form of fun, and the simplest one
possible, is a cranberry stringlng. This is
an excellent way TO pass an afternoon or
evening with almost no preparation. Plenty
of handsome red cranberries, plenty of
strong thread and Some large needles are
the only things absolutely necessary. In

use of tally cards and well-chosen prizes.

A good way to choose partners is by match

Three Men Blown up by DYna-
mite.


While quarrying rock for Ollie
Hedges on the farm of r. F. Adair,
near Paris, James Boyle, white,
and Aaron Norris and Geo. Smith,
colored, were blown up with dyna-
mite May 18th.
Boyle was taken on the evening
train to ST. Joseph's Hospital, Lex
ington, KY, having both eyes blown
out, one leg broken and otherwise
seriously hurt, and will hardly re-
cover. Norris is badly shattered
and is not expected to live, while
Smith is only slightly injured.
They were recharging a hole in
the rock which had been blown out
once, when the dynamite was pre-
maturely discharged, either from
a spark or from heat of previous
explosion. All the men are well
known here.

IN BREATHITT.

Judge Redwine has called 9

lit county; Cockrell, Cox and Mar
cum. The Judge, for the reason
that these citizens have been slain
from hiding, has done the proper
thing. He names a time in which
to take legal action and orders the
selection of a grand jury.
Judge Redwine is as capable as
any other man Of his section to
bring light from chaos by discov-
ering the assassins and bringing
them to answer to the law. But
if the state of affairs conform to
the newspaper reports sent out,
then in order to the protection OF
his own life, his property and the
lives and property of his friends

outside faction lines, it OCCURS not

Der of the reasoning and law-keep-

a Special Judge and Prosecuting
Attorney be appointed, that they
and the court be protected and
aided by State troops and when
indictments have been made, or
der the parties arrested, hold them
for term in county remote from
the scene Of trouble and give the
accused a fair trial and if convic-
tons are madeth Governor should
see that the law is satisfied to the
last letter. This would be our
way to find out..who the assassins
in Breathitt county are, to bring
them to punishment and break up
the deplorable state of affairs there.

Makes Plea for Enforcement Of

Thomas Marcum, brother of j. b.
Marcum, writing from Muskogee,

statement OF County Judge James

the Courier-J Journal, "that there is
not a single family in Breathitt

have not been slain by Marcum
blood He gives the descendants
of his grandfather, Thomas Mar
cum, ST., to the present time, and
says the records will show they
have not been accused of crime.
He pleads for the enforcement of
the law and decries vengeance.
Quoting from the Bible, he says !;
vengeance is mine, saith the Lord,
l will repay. 1t is not question
of vengeance with me; my heart
yearns for the supremacy of the
law in my native county. l want
the guilty punished and the limo
cent to live in peace, but the land
cannot be cleaned of the bloodshed

that shed it,"

KNOCKERS.

Some PARTIES are criticising
chairman Of Democratic central
and executive committee-some
going so far as to denominate him
King OF the party, and ask that he
be dethroned.
We do not appear as a defender
of Mr.. Young, for he is amply
able to care for himself, We do
know that Mr.. Young is giving
the greater part Of his time to the
party, and that without any COM
pensation or hope threof 1t is
true that he has been firm and de-
cisive in his rulings, and while he
may have made mistakes they
have been for the good of the par
ty as he honestly saw it. We are
not at all astonished, for every
man of worth will find many crit
les in his own household, but the
circulation Of odious charges and
largely their emination has been
the studied work of his adversary,
the Republican party.
We have no time to look after
or be concerned about any mis-
takes for we are now in a contest
for Democratic victory, and what
we shall discuss will be the doc
trines of the leading parties and
their benefits or hurts to the in
terests Of the greatest number.
Mr.. Young's sincerity we do not
question, and it is his love for the
principles Of the party he repre-
sents that causes him to work
night and day without hope OF
personal reward.

"ALL THE TIME .

Long time ago, counting time

something to say which bore no
uncertain sound, caustically criti-

ter of a dead man-one of our
greatest and best-the lamented

Taylorism in Kentucky, fondly
