And Bill Was Elected.

Attorney Bill Barnes of Muddy
Fork had filled nearly every other
Office in the Trigg County Court
House, and now he was candidate
for sheriff on the Republican side.
Bill was good at politics, knowing
just now hard to slap a man on the
back, or to whom the bottle should be
passed when electioneering, but he
had made himself bit unpopular with
the dig negro settlement that occu-
pied a lotion near the county seat
by refusing to take hand in negro
baptizing over at the pond, and after
canvass among the voters of that
section found them all to be really
Indifferent about his being elected.
Some seemed not to care about voting
at all The way things stood, and others
talked like they might scratch the
ticket for one time.
Bill came back and bothered good
deal about this, for it had always
taken this big bunch of negroes to
bring down the Republican side Of the
rcales. Bill sat around with his chin
in his hands in dark study for day

The truth of the old saying that
there is nothing new under the sun
has been once more demonstrated by
the discovery Of model boat at least
1000 years old, which resembles in
many respects the racing craft of the
present day. This model boat was
discovered in an Egyptian tomb. Al
though the boat is only toy, il affords
proof Of the fact that the racing boats
Of 1000 years ago were certainly mod
eled on the lines of our latest racing
yachts, The model is obviously that
of q pleasure boat, for the hull has
been so cut down for the sake Of
speed that it would be quite useless
as Cargo or passenger boat. The
most modern rowing boats made have
not such deep keel as that from
which the model was copied.

is no question now that the honor
belongs to neither country, since both
have unconsciously copied the idea
from Egypt Until a few years ago
boat builders had never constructed
a boat with a line OF PROV equal to
that seen on the little model just un-
certified. Racing yachts Of twenty
years ago had no such lines.
In some respects, at least, we have
improved on the boats Of 1000 years
ago. The stern Of the model is not
SO good as would be the stern of a

siderable improvements have also
been made in steering gear. However,
to all intents and purposes the boats

Mccormick, Ill, Sept 2S.-Miss
Ethel Bradshaw of this place has writ
ten letter, which is remarkable for
the character of the statements it
contains. AS her letter will be read
with interest, and probably with profit

advisable to publish it in part. Among
other things Miss Bradshaw says:-

various unpleasant symptoms which
always come with that disease, and
have found cure. l would strongly
advise all who may be suffering with
any form of Kidney Complaint to use
Godd's Kidney Pills, remedy which

TEAM OF MULES LOST
AT ANDALUSIA LEVEE

y team of mules belonging to Gilpin
Moore, Of Andalusia. valued at $500.
were drowned Wednesday afternoon
at the levec at that village. The tcanf
was used in hauling wood to the bank.
Ed Stropes being the driver. In UNI
loading the rear portion of the wood
was taken off first and the forward
end of the rack overbalanced the rear
part, which tipped up and some of
the wood was thrown upon the team,
frightening them. They were headed
toward the river and ran in that di-
rection, going out on the steamboat
landing which is built into the stream
and plunging off into the deep water.
There were several men near and
they went into the water after the
team and endeavored to unfasten the
harness so that they could swim out.
With the water eight feet in depth
and swift current. however, they
could do nothing. and within two min
utcs the team had drowned. The out
fit was recovered shortly afterward
100 yards below the scene of the lc-
cidcnt.

MORE LITIGATION ALONG
THE HENNEPIN CANAL

Litigation in the Hennepin canal
controversy appears to grow daily
and Tuesday additional legal papers
were served on the canal engineers,
this time in regard to drainage
bitches in Bureau county. The drain
age commissioners of Union special
district of Gold, Fairfield and Green
vile townships, in the northern part
of that county, have filed papers ask
ing the government engineers to re-
pair, widen and clean out the ditch
at certain places along the right of
way of the canal, also to clean out a
culvert, through which the drainage
ditch passes under The canal.
The drainage commissioners claim
that when the government dug the
canal through the three townships, it
was necessary to change the course
of the drainage ditch. This, fhey say.
the government did. but did not make
the ditch as wide as the original and
that the dirt from the canal was
thrown into the ditch, and that the
culvert is not kept free and clean
from dirt. This causes the ditch to
overflow and flood the land in that
vicinity, particularly during heavy
rains. The dirt in the canal and in
the culvert also obstructs the flow of
the water.
