years in the penitentiary forcorrupt-

doubt Of his guilt therefore there
should be no sympathy for him in

STEAMBOAT BUSINESS.
MUCH SPECULATION AS TO
WHAT EFFECT NEW ROAD
WILL HAVE.

There is much speculation IN river
circles at present over the effect the
new railroad from Paducah to Cairo
will have ON the Dick Fowler's trade.
The Fowler has for years enjoyed a
big business in all Sc ssons between
Paducah and Cairo, and the new road
is certain TO have some effect.
A great many think that the de-
crease IN the boats business will not
be sufficient 70 affect her trade, while
others claim that the through business
TO Cairo Is what pays best, and she
will not find 1t profitable after the
new road begins operation.
Some predict that in time the Fow-
Ter will run through to Charlottesville,
Mo, max ing about two trips . week.
This is mere speculation, howe YER
There is no intention at present Of
making any change at all, and the
owners of the Fowler do not antici-
pate any effect on their business, much
OF which comes from small river towns
that are not near the new railroad.

To the state where l was born,
Where the corn is full of kernels,
And the Colonies full of corn"
Where to disapprove that beverage
Is to toy with sudden death.

Where they barrel up their breath.
Take me back to Old Kentucky,

With their shouts eye-deep in slop,

Where they argue points with lead
But you needn't rush the matter

DeplOrable Mistake Made by a
Young Man of Fulton.
Thought His Wife Was Burglar and
Shot Her in the
Back.
HUSBAND ALMOST FRANTIC

Mrs. Charles Benford, a young mar
ried woman Of Fulton, was fatally
shot by her husband who mistook her
for burglar, this morning about 9
O'Clock.
OF late many chickens had been
stolen from Bedford's chicken coop
and he procured a pistol and placed it
under his pillow intent on catching
the thief. Last night his wife was
awakened by noise from the chicken
house and going to the window looked
out to see what caused il when her
husband woke up and fred at her,
thinking she was burglar coming in
the window. Only one shot was fired,
Benford seeing his mistake at once.
Physicians were summoned and an ex-
animation showed the ball entered the
back and will probably prove fatal.
Benford is a young dry goods clerk
and is in pitsble condition as the re-
sult Of his mistake. The shooting was
purely accidental and the fact has
been made clear by both the husband
and wife.

THE TROUBLE STARTS
First Warrant for Selling Nom
lntOxicants i'm Mayfield
The Accused Defies the Council and
Continues to Sell.

Mayheld, Ky, July 30-The first
prosecution for selling non-intoxicants
without the 1000 license required
by ordinance passed few nights ago
by the council was instituted yester-
day against Bob Smith, who oontin-
ued selling the pale ale without Ii
cense.
He was carried before the city court
and gave bond for his trial Friday.
Smith opened up business again aud
from last accounts was doing flour
ishing business
Some people claim that the ordi-
nance is invalid, and Smith desires to
make test case of it.
There seems to be difference in
opinion among the attorneys. If Hop
Ale, etc, is misunderstanding the at
torneys say that it can not be licensed
any higher than to sell soda water and
other similar drinks, while Others take
the position that il it is intoxicating
the councilmen have no right TO place
license on it, And so will watch re-
suits.

OF the seventy-three chancery cases
ruled upon by Judge Eichelberger in
the October term of the district court,
which ended Saturday, forty-eight, or
practically two-thirds of the total num-
Der were divorce cases. Twenty-six
of this number were dismissed for
want of prosecution, and nineteen of
these were divorce petitions, testifying
that either the plaintiffs were unable,
through lack of funds. to secure a de-
cree, or else were stricken with a
change of heart at the eleventh hour.
Some, too, might have been brought for
the moral effect, possibly with a view
TO bluffing the other party to the con-
tract. The number of divorces in the
Wapello county district court has been
growing rapidly.
IL Important Law Cases.
The law docket was not SO large dur
ing the past term, although number
Of important cases were up for trial.
Thirty-two cases were disposed of, the
hardest fought case.being that of Mrs.

Tractio- & Light Co. The result OF
this was partial victory for the
plaintiff, who was given Judgment for
$1,000 after asking for $500, and at,
ter having been awarded $4,000 by the
jury. This was one in which Mrs. Har.
Ian, as administrator of the estate of
her husband. the late G. w. Harlan,
brought suit to recover damages
against the traction, company for inju
ries received by her husband by being
struck by a street car on the Market
stree bridge on the evening of July
A, 1902; the plaintiff claiming that this
accident FASTENED Mr.. Harlan's death

THE CLAY AMENDMENT.

Hon. Green Clay, father Of the late
Rhodes Clay, permitted the people Of
Audlain county to elect him TO the
legislature as his sons successor in
order that be might continue the agi-
tation for revision Of our state revenue
laws. 1t is his purpose to introduce
a bill to submit a constitutional
amendment permitting the legislature
to provide for the separation of tax.
able property into two classes, one Of
which will be subject to state taxes
only, and one to local taxes only.
One Of the prime considerations
which render such separation desir-
able is the greatinequality Of assessed
valuations of the same kinds Of prop
erty in different counties. One
county is much 10 debt. IL needs
large revenues. 1t fears to publish
too high a tax rate, and hence has re-
course 20 high valuation. The state
accepts this valuation as the basis OF
state assessments and thus this coun-
ty pays more state taxes than 1t
ought to pay.
The precise provisions of Mr.. Clay's
amendment have not been made pub
lie, but it will provide for the raising
OF all the state revenues by exclusive
taxes on franchises, corporation H.
%censes, ETC., and by an inheritance
tax. 1t will doubtless be similar to
the law which has been in operation
for several years in Pennsylvania aud
the one which has been in operation
10 New York since 1901.
There has been a great deal Of
thought expended in the last few
years on the subject of equalization
of taxes. 1t is hoped that MI. Clay's
amendment or some similar amend
ment may receive favorable consid-
GRAFTON and that thus we may escape
the agitation which otherwise is sure
soon to become general for an entire
revision Of the constitution.

Mr.. HASELTINE'S LETTER.

Elsewhere 10 this issue will be
found a letter written to the INTEL
~LIeENCER for publication by Hon. s..
A. Haseltine, Of Springfield. Mr..
Haseltine spoke in Lexington during
the campaign and his remarks we're
well received. From certain phrases
and Incidental expressions in this let
ter rather than from any intended
declaration, it seems likely that the
editor of this paper differs very rad
ically with Mr.. Haseltine upon some
fundamental principles Of finance.
These phrases and expressions sound
very much like those of the fat
g~reenbackers of the late 70's and
early SOS. And while this question
is o of no interest now, the editor
wishes to say once for all that he does
not believe thatsa nation can create
anything by fat Of law, or an indl-
vidual by a stroke Of the pen, except
a future responsibility.
But the real subject Of Mr., Hasel-
tines letter is the Fowler bill, and
upon this subject we are one. There
can be adduced no argument in sup
port bank asset currency which may
not be urged with better reason 10
favor of permitting farmers to issue
a credit currency based upon land
values clear Of Improvements. That
the Fowler law would contribute an
element Of flexibility to the currency
there a be no doubt; and that fiex-
Utility is, under proper conditions, a
desirable quality In the circulating
medium Of a nation goes without
saying. But the degree Of desirable
ness depends very materially upon
who regulates the influences that
bring about the contraction and ex-
pansion of this flexible medium. The
government is anxious to get out OF
the banking business. Both parties
would be glad to throw upon COM
merce the burden of supplying its
own vital fluid. The problem Of
Striking responsibility is as old as
the problem Of sin, and is indeed a
part OF it. When men cease to be-
lieve that there is some way to carry
a sack on horseback without the
weight falling on the horse, we may
be bold to say the millennium is at hand.

THE STEEL TRUST SCHEME.

The steel trust has gone into phil
anthropy as a business. The new year
surprise to which it has treated its
employees is a proposition to permit
all the workers in the concern to be-
come stockholders in the ratio Of
their annual earnings and to share in
the profits whethcr stockholders or
not when the net aaruings exceed
$50, 000, 900. This proposition will
excite much admiration IN certain
quarters. There are 1875, 600 employ
ees in the steel trust-all voters. If
all become stockholders, then would
they be "friends Of the tariff" inter.
ested in perpetuatlng the present
order Of things. 165, 900 voters come
right handy sometimes, This is all
easily understood. But why the
steel trnst sh5uld wish to share it's
earnings is a more difficult question.
Just why the trust should wish to
give up one one-hundreth of all earn
ings in excess of 32J per cent on what
was paid for the plants, according to
the sworn statements of Schwab and
Frick, is past comprehension. Mr..
Carnegie has conscientious scruples
about dying rich; perhaps J. P. Nor
gan has been converted to the belief
that anything more.than 333 per cent
is usurious.

JOHN SHARPE WILLIAMS.

1t has been predicted with much
show of reason that Williams Of
Mississippi will succeed Richardson as
leader Of the minority on the floor of
the house. Under Richardson S lead
ershlp there has been too much
t%om-loolery, too much sparring for
points. Williams is a man for a
different type-in fact, it is doubtful
II he is not of too antique a type for
these changed times. A well-to-do
planter, thoroughly and soundly ed
ucated, an idealist, constitutionaly
religious, serious, philosophic, not
unlike the matchless Lamlr, but less
recluse, John Sharpe Williams would
have taken high place 10 any con-
gress fifty years ago. But we have
fallen ON different times. Congress
is now a convention OF agents of jar
ring and discordant interests, 10 the
midst OF whose clamor and chicauery
the sense of moral or%ientation is lost
And this very sense Of moral orient4-
tion is Williams strongest point.
