Court Afraid He Would be Turned
Loose II Returned to
Jackson.

The case against Curtis Jett took
an unexpected turn last week when
Attorney John NJ. Stevenson filed
a motion before Circuit Judge Ben
ton to dismiss his own motion for
a writ of habeas corpus. The court
overruled the motion and Jett un-
der this ruling will have TO remain
in jail at Winchester till further
action either by the Breathitt
Grand Jury or the Circuit Court of
Clark in the habeas corpus proceed
ings which are to be tried June Z.
If Benton had granted the mo-
tion dismissing the habeas corpus
motion, Jett then could have de-
manded an examining trial. In
this case 1t is believed that wit
nesses from Breathitt could not
have been gotten and the court
would have to dismiss Jett
Judge Benton in over ruling the
motion stated that to return Jett
to Breathitt would, in his judgment,
have been equivalent to turning
him loose, on account Of the pecu-
liar conditions that obtain in Jack
son.
Judge Benton will hear witness
es as to the facts of the killing
June Z and if he decides still to
hold Jett, he will be kept in the
Winchester Jail pending the action

Curing Tobacco.

A new method for assisting the
cure Of tobacco in the barns has
been devised by G. f. Hillman, a
Massachusetts man, who has or
ganized a stock company with
500, 600 capital TO place the curers
on the market. 1t consists of a
furnace and a gasoline engine on a
truck, which is placed close to the
curing barn, and hot air is forced
into the barn through a pipe by
means of blower. The pipe may
be extended into sectionsif desired,
or the curer can be moved from
one side of the building to another.
The whole object is to force the
warm air into the curing shed, so
as to drive out the moist air with.
in, and hasten the curing of the
leaf.

through dappled fields of flowers
and grain, to the spot where a
Syrian is scratching the rich soil
with the same sort Of plow used
here 1000 years ago, and l will
show you the martial procession Of
the ages. Here, midway between
Nazareth and Engannim, ten miles
from each, you stand on the great
est battlefield OF earth. No other
field has felt the tread of so many
world conquerors, or furnished in
humation for such countless myri-
ads of warriors. Four thousand
years ago Chedorlaomer, with allied
Kings of the Euphrates valley, led
his rapacious hosts TO and fro
across these fields. Returning
from his last campaign he happen
ed to carry off a nephew of Abra-
ham as prisoner. This called the
old Hebrew from the quiet of his
peaceful tents at Hebron. With
his little army he dashed across
these fields, and in the darkness Of
the night rushed like acyclone upon
the myriads of four hostile kings,
and pursued the panic-stricken
armies beyond Damascus. In this
conflict the 'father of the faithful"
showed all the celebrity, valor and
military genius Of the Boer. Il few
centuries later (l,6OO B. C.) the
Alexander of Egypt, Thotmes III,
won bloody victory and gained
the empire of Asia on this very
spot. Joshua, with his six hun
dped thousand warriors, fought
over this plain.
That detached mountain at your
left, l,S43 feet high, is the famous
Tabor. 1t is 81 miles east by south
Of Nazareth, II west by south Of
the sea of Galilee, and II north of
Gilboa. 200 years after Joshua,
Barak waited oD Tabor with 10000
men, with the illustrious woman,
Deborah, by his side, for re. enfor-
cements of tempest and hail, to
attack the innumerable host of
Sisera whose iron chariots were
more terrible, than our rapidfre
cannon. In later years the arch
angel of war;" Napoleon, stood on
that same mountain and watched
for hours little squad Of French
infantry beat back the furious
assaults of $4,000 Moslem horse
men, until he signaled the 600
French cavalry. concealed behind
Tabor, to complete the ruin of the
Saracenic army.
A generation later than Barak
this plain swarmed with a hostile
army of hundreds of thousands
from the east. That shining pool
three miles southeast, is where
Gideon- 500 capped with their
hands" the night of the panic.

areth in the midst of the city.
There were fifty white tents pitch
ed in double rows about hollow
square, one side of which was clos
ed by a dining tent with tables
long enough to accommodt te 131
tourists. Our neat and comfort
able tents were lined with Oriental
figures of red and white, and furn
ished with iron bedsteads, tables,
chairs, bowls, water pitchers, can
dies, ETC., and on the center-poles
were hooks for clothing.
Attached to our camp were 1914
horses, 1873 mules, 3S donkeys, 80
muleteers, "a walters and an illus
trious body of dragomans and
guides, who highly appreciated the
splendor and dignity of their posi-
tion. Some of them SO far shared
their glory with their horses, as to
paint their tails and names in bril-
liant coIors for the occasion. Over
these flaming steeds they flourish
e | harmless horse pistols and long
swords.
Upon the pious sleep of 131
weary pilgrims, an aggravated
bedlam broke loose in the darkness
of the early morning, that brought
every sleeper to his feet with sleep
less agility. The educated camp
mule, equipped with bells of vari-
Gus sorts and sizes, chains and in
describable devices for noise and
discord, supported by an orchestra
of Arabs similarly furnished, trot-
ted, kicked, curvetted, bucked and
gyrated about each tent, making
several rounds of the entire camp.
The second round was superhuous.
Those of us who were not laughing,
were engaged in silent swearing
instead of their morning prayers.
In five minutes / was dressed
toileted, and had my luggage pack
ed ready for the donkeys, and went
out in the light of the camp torch
to watch the tents fall away from
belated brethren and sisters who
could not find their clothes. When
tents began to totter about the tar
dy brethren the threshing floor re-
sounded with entreaties and violent
protests directed at the stalwart
arab tent-strikers; but they in
their ignorance of American Ian
guage and manners, supposed they
were being urged to hurry up their
work. Before six o'clock tents
and baggage had vanished on the
back of. mules and donkeys toward
Engannim, twenty miles away.
Tourists were in the saddle ascend
ing the charming slopes of the
green Nazareth basin through yer.
dant fields, blossoming orchards
and fragrant gardens. At the sum-
NIT of the chalk-ridge of the encir-
cling mountains, / turned and
paused to look once more upon
dear old Nazareth and refresh my
soul with the precious memories of
the Man of Galilee. Near by on
my right rose the frowning cliff of
Precipitation.
The soft radiance of the early
dawn transfgured the rocky peaks
of the fifteen hills that enclose the
fiowery valley, and glorified the
white houses and emerald setting
of the sacred city. The spell of
the Christ thrilled me again. The
tender and sacred emotions that
transported my vibrant soul may
not be written here. The gentle
hand of my God will bring me
again to these holy hills to renew
this inspiration that will make glad
all my days.

II expect to press the measure again,

The more read and the more learn
the more firmly am convinced that the
state needs a primary election law
that will govern primaries as definite
ly as the general election laws govern
our elections. I believe it to be one OF
the most important before the people.
am not prepared to go to some Of the
lengths that have been suggested In
other states. and in some enacted into
law. but certainly Iowa will be in the
rear guard instead of the front, where
she belongs, if. as her cities grow
larger, she fails to do something to
keep pure the fountain head of our
political system, the primary"
The Crossley primary bill provided
for the nomination of all political off,
GERS al primary election, in which all
parties should participate, and IN which
the Australian ballot should be used.
1t also provided for the holding of con-
ventions, succeeding the primaries, but
the nominations were to be made at the
primary election.
The senator has been studying the
subject carefully since the last session,
and will prepare a new measure ex-
tending over more ground than the
original one. 1t provided for the regis
tration of the voters at each election as
to their party utilization, in order to de-
ternline which party primary the next
year they might participate In. Sena-
tor Crossley sees no hardship in this.
If man be neither republican nor a
democrat. and does not choose to say
he is a populist or member of any OF
the parties, there is no reason for his
participation in specific party pri-
nary. The bin that he introduced last
year did not provide drastic penalties
for violation. He proposes to provide
the same penalties as apply to the gen
eral elections. AS to the application of
the law to cities of a certain size, only,
such as above 5000 or above 10000
people, Senator Crossley has not yet
reached conclusion.
Probably he will propose specific
system for conducting the primaries.
He has provided in the old bill that
different tickets Of each party be
printed separately, and the voter at
the primary be given The one Of the
party which the registration books
show him to be affiliated with; or
which, on oath, he says he has or will
affiliate with.

REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER.
After Trying Other Treatments Hy-
omei Was Used With Perfect Sue

cess
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei. the
only advice a physician could give to
hay fever patient was to go away from
home but now any one who expects
the disease, can, If Hyomei is used,
stay at home without fear of the an
lnual attack Of sneezing, watery eyes,
and other discomfort.
]. F. Forbes, we'll known western
railroad man, whose home Is at Nc
Cook, Neb., writes, Il have never had
relief from any remedy for hay fever,
even temporarily, until discovered
the merits Of Hyomei. will always
recommend it whenever occasion re-
Quires."
There Is no offensive stomach dosing
when Hyomei is used. 1t is a reliable
remedy for the cure Of all diseases of
the respiratory organs and is breathed
thru neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, so that the air taken
into the throat and lungs is like that of
the White Mountains or other health
resorts where hay fever is unknown.
Mcbride & Will. who are the local
agents for Hyomei, advise all who are
subject to hay fever to begin its use
two or three weeks before the time
Of the annual appearance Of this dis
ease and thus prevent the attack. If,
however, Hyomei is not used until the
sneezing and other disagreeable symp-
toms have shown themselves, it is nee
essary to use the treatment more fire.
Quently, at least half dozen times
daily. and Hyomei Balm should be
rubbed into the nostrils both morning
and night.
The fact that Mcbride & Will agree
20 refund the money to any hay fever
sufferer who uses Hyomei without sue
cess, should inspire confidence In its
power to effect q cure.
