BOATNER CASE OUT.
Celebrated Express Package Case
Was Thrown out of Federal
Court at OWenSbOrO.

The case OF J. w. Boatner against
the American Express Company was
called Tuesday morning In the Fed.
eral court at o wensboro. A jury was
em paneled, but Boatner failed to ap-
pear In person or otherwise. No
proof was introduced aud verdict
was entered for the defendant. This
action has been expected all along,
and when Boatner did not come to
Owensboro at the beginning OF
the court 1t was practically certain
that he would not attempt to main
tain his suit. This ends a matter
that has created more speculation as
to the final outcome than anything
else that has occurred In this section
for many years,
Boatner placed with the ,Americau
Express Company a package said to
contain $2S, 900, for transmission to
Fordsville. At Fordsville the pack
age appeared. and A, B. Schlitzbaum,
agent for the company there, claimed
he was held up and robbed OF It.
Schlitzbaum was convicted of embez.
ceiling, and Boatner was prosecuted
on charge OF conspiracy to deiraud.
After being released from this charge
Boatner brought suit against the ex-
press company for the recovery of the
alleged value of the package.
Nothing Is known of Boatner's
whereabouts. He has not been In
Owensboro so far as Is know, since
the day he gave the package to Gore
Burch to be sent to Fordsville. He
left this county last summer shortly
atter being acquitted OF the criminal
charges against him.

2O2,115.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. rs The
State Board OF Election Commissi sion
ers convened at Frankfort Monday
morning to canvass the vote of the
counties In the recent election. When
the commissioners met they found
that the vote had been reported In all
the counties except two, Harrison and
Rockcastle.
In Harrison the returns are held up
as the result of an injunction suit now
pending before the Court of Appeals,
while In Rockcastle evidently the re-
turns are delayed In the mails, as
there is no reason for their having
been held back. The commissioners
proceeded at once to begin the canvass
IF the returns, and will pass the miss
Ing counties until report Is received
from them.
The vote of the ny counties heard
from Is as follows: Parker, 2I3 634,

1t is the praise Of those who have been
cured by Peruna that makes this remedy
so popular and SO extensively used. No
advertisement could have accomplished
this result.
Peruna cures the first stages Of con-

is chronic catarrh. The catarrh having
been cured the cough and other dis
agreeable symptoms cease.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE
Children Made Happy, Grown Folks
Too--Very Good Attendance.

The Christmas tree entertain
ment held in the new schoolhouse
on the Gath inst. will be warmly
remembered by all who attended.
1t was great success, and is pro-
nounced as the finest affair of its
kind ever had here. Fully 200
attended, some of the young folks
coming from Roseberry and other
places. The program commenced
about 7 p. m. with a greeting duet
by Ritter Bros, and closed about
midnight.
The Christmas tree was a revel-
alton to the youngsters, and highly
creditable to those that decorated
it. No child was forgotten, special
care having been taken to secure
the names of all children in the
neighborhood, and those that did
not attend had their presents,
candy, nuts, ETC., sent home to
them, even to the babes being re-
membered. The older folks came
in for a share of the good things
too, there being galores of candy
and nuts for all. A. III. Miller
was Santa Claus for the occasion
and filled the role to perfection.
The program was quite a lengthy
one, fifty two numbers being gone
through and occupying about five
hours. But none tired of it, for it
was of a kind to keep the spirits
alive, and mirth, jollity and good
nature marked the whole proceed
ings from start to finish.
A special feature was the in
strumental music, which was ex-
cellent and much enjoyed by all.
rOllOWlng were the committees,
who will be remembered with kind
ly feelings for their good work in
making such a big success of the
entertainment:
Finance-John A. Taylor, Clar-
ence Shaw, S. F. Southland and w.
B. Boydstun.

THE NEW YEAR.


10y tllC IAillC Culo loouC Va ciiC
ADVOCATE is in the hands of a
majority Of it's readers, the new.
year will have been ushered in.
What it will bring to us is largely
a matter for speculation, but one
thing is certain and that is the fact
that no preceding year has held
out such promises for the advance
ment and healthy growth of this
section of country as does the new
year on it's threshold.
The hew year will see greatly
increased amount of cultivated
land in these valleys, and big
increase in the acreage under irri-
CATION. The neighboring rich min
ing camps will ensure ready sale
for the produce of the farm and
ranch at good prices. Mining
promises to receive more attention
in this valley than heretofore. 1t
is probable that a move will be
made toward clearing out some of
the timber in these valleys. An
era of railroad building is promised
that will effect these valleys to a
very great extent. There promises
to be a larger influx of visitors and
homeseekers next spring and sum-
mer than ever before, and with the
splendid opportunities and lovely
climate here we can reasonably
look forward to greatly increased
population.
nlcneVeT way we look at IT the
prospects for the new year are ex-
ceptionally bright and encouraging
to the people of this valley, and
the fact that we have one of the
choicest valleys on the continent
will impress itself more and more
on the fortunate residents as time
passes.
To our readers we extend best
wishes for a happy and prosperous
new year. May your every good
wish be gratifed.

THURSDAY, DEC. 20, 1904.
THE OLD YEAR.

Before another issue of the
ADVOCATE leaves the press the old
year will be numbered with the
past. 1t has dealt lightly with the
people Of these valleys, and during
it they have prospered as they
never have before. While it is
true that the low market price and
little demand for cattle has effected
some of the people to great ex-
tent, the big demand and high
prices obtained for other produce
has more than evened matters.
The great development being
made in the big mining camps to
which this valley is the gateway,
caused demand to be made for
all produce the farmers had to
spare, and was blessing to the
people.
The year just closing has prob
ably been the driest the valley has
ever known, yet there was no fail
ure of crops neither did cattle on
the range suffer. 1t proved con-
clusively, however, the great adj
vantage that irrigated land has
over land not irrigated. This
shows the need for increased irri-
cation, and is one of the lessons of
the old year.
Long and Round valleys have
advanced by big strides during this
year. There has been large
settlement of new corners among
US, of a very desirable class, and
to such the glad hand has been
extended, for we are always willing
to welcome good, industrious set
tiers Many new buildings have
been erected, and much fencing,
clearing and breaking of new land
done, all marks of advancement and
permanency. The new road through
the valley to Thunder Mountain,
which is also the mail route for
that rich mining section, is also of
great help in our development.
All things considered, the year
1904 will rank among the good
years of the valley.

Race War in Colorado.

COAL CREEK, Colo.-The killing in
cold blood of Marshal Bates of Coal
Creek, a coal mining town in Fremont
county, by two negroes, Grant and
Westley Thompson, whom he was try
ing to arrest for disturbing the peace,
has caused the white residents to issue
a warning to all negroes to leave the
camp. Many negroes have already
left town. If any insist on remaining
it is feared bloodshed will result. The
whites charge the negroes with nu-
merous crimes committed since they
were imported into the camp.

MAY TRY TO TAKE MUKDEN
Japs Need the Town for Winter
Quarters.

MUKDEN-Quiet continues here.
The Japanese are still working hard
intrenching their front, which begins
to look like continuous fort. It is
believed they are preparing seriously
to advance, making their front strong,
possibly in order that it may be held
by comparatively small force, while
the heavier force engages in flanking
movements. The Japanese have learn
ed by bitter experience not to expect
much from frontal attack. They are
obliged, however, to maintain a strong
front to prevent General Kuropatkin
from breaking through their line and
carrying the war to their rear.
There is considerable evidence to
indicate that the Japanese will make
every effort to force the Russians out
of Mukden, not only for the moral
effect on Europe, but upon the Chi
nese as well. Mukden is extremely i'm
portant to them as winter quarters.
The Japanese continue to receive
reinforcements and it is believed by
Russian military men that their ad-
vancing depends only on accommodating
sufficient men.

Conference at The Hague.

WASHINGTON-In a circular note
Secretary Hay has carried out the
presidents instructions relative to
proposing a second Hague conference.
The note not only contemplates the
reassembling of The Hague confer
ence for the consideration of ques-
tions specifically mentioned by the
original conference, as demanding
further attention, such as the rights
and duties of neutrals; the inviol-
ability of private property in naval
warfare and the bombardment of ports
by naval force, but goes further by
practically indorsing the project of
general system of arbitration treaties
and the establishment of an interna-
tional congress to meet periodically in
the interests Of peace. The issue of
the CALL while the present war is in
progress, is justified by the fact that
the first Hague conference was called
before our treaty of peace with Spain
was concluded.

RUSsIA'S EXHIBITS CLOSE.
Dispute With Fair About Percentage
of Sales,

ST. LOUIS-Russia's exhibits in
two of the exhibit palaces at the
Worlds Fair were closed Friday by
order of the exposition management.
The cause of the closing was a re-
opening of the dispute between the
fair management and foreign exhibit
ors relative to the payment of a per-
centage on cash sales at their exhibit
booths. President Francis said that
under the rules of the division of ex-
hibits governing the sale of exhibits
at the fair, if exhibitors wish to sell
from their spaces during the exposi-
tion period, arrangements to that eff
feet must first be made. approved by
the chief of the department, with the
director of exhibits and with the di-
rector Of concessions. This arrange
ment consists of fixed rate of per-
ceEtage to be paid by the exhibition
to the exposition on every cash sale.
