ing a tragedy. SANDY" O'Connor
has become involved in trouble with
the soldiers and has resisted arrest.
1t is not believed that he can be TAX
en- alive. The soldiers have announc.
ed that they propose to place O'Con-
ner under arrest.
O'Connor is regarded as one Of the
most desperate Of the many bad men
who infest Breathitt county. In the
effect on the part of the militiamen
to maintain order in jackson they
came in conflict with O'Connor. A
warrant was secured for O'Connor's
arrest on the charge of disorderly
conduct.
This warrant was given to one of
the non.commissioned officers to
serve. He took with him five pri-
Yates and went to O'Connor's house.
O'Connor was not at home, 80 his
daughter said, but the soldiers insist
ed on searching the house. She re-
sented this, and, stepping inside the
door, reappeared with a Winchester
shotgun, which she leveled at the
soldiers. They persisted in entering,
when she snapped the gun at them.
Fortunately it was not loaded, and
no one was hnrt, but the soldiers re-
treated, as they could not shoot at
the girl, and yet we're exposed to dan.
ger at her hands.
O'Connor, while the daughter held
the soldiers at bay in the front, got
away, and is still at large.

The Acanthus In Architecture


'ltruvius, Roman architect and en-
gineer who flourished in the reign of
Augustus Caesar, tells the following
story:
Callimachus, a Corinthian architect
was one day sitting, lost in thought, in
a burial place just outside the city
when bis attention was drawn to the
tomb of a Corinthian maiden of hum
bic birth. The friends of the child had
placed on her grave basket of her
toys, and this, covered with tile to
keep out the rain, was placed over an
acanthus root
The leaves of the plant had closely
surrounded the basket until they reach
ed the tile, when they had curved out
ward and downward very gracefully.
This SO struck the fancy of CALI
machus that he set about initiating the
figure. His attempts eventually re-
suited in the invention of the Corintbi-
an style, in which the vase of the cap
ital represents the basket, the abacus
the tile, and the volutes the bending
leaves.
The era Of Callimachus is uncertain.

by Scopas, the architect of the temple
Of Athena Alea at Tegea about 1874

The holy of holics at Jefferson
City hadn't the faintest idea Of the
boodling and sale Of Legislation
that has been going on there for
years if their statements are to be
believed, but the facts that have
been coming to light in the last
year or two through efficient grand
jury work, refutc these claims OF
innocence and establishes beyond a
doubt that the source of all tho
political wickedness and iobbery
has its fountain head in the inner
most circles of the ring which has
for years dominated the state gov
ernment. The attempt to brazen
it out with further denials and
make Il scapcgoat of one or two
who have fallen outside Of ringster
favor, will only tend TO deepen
public disgust of the ring. The
boodling of our state legislators
and officials has for years been
known at jefferson City and wa
held only as a matter to be jested
about among the lawmakers dar-
ing the sessions Of the general as
sembly. Boodliug had become so
common that the iakeoifs were re
garded as official perquisites. OF
course there were times when this
boodling practice flew backward:
and made things disagreeaEle te
the friends OF the srafters, as was
evidenced when the practice be
came 50 rank that it eXaspcratet
Speaker Whitecotton to so far for
get himself as to denounce it upc1
the floor Of the House during th'
last session. Though Mr.. White
cotton was soon sorry for what h'
had said his words could not b,
called back, and they went a Ions
ways towards convincing the peo
pie of the system of rottennes
which had fastened itself upon thu
state government.
