Yet here is a report from Owingsyilie setting forth that Sugar Loaf Mountain has given forth flames and smoke, has been Assured in five places and that the natives are flying in terror from the vicinity. All the trees In the neigh borhood are splintered' and blasted and the farmers think that Sugar Loaf has become a volcano. But, lands sake! don't the Kentuckians recognize the effect of their own whisky?
 This is nothing but the explosion of a mountain still. The liquor running over the rocks has split the granite, killed the trees and fil.5d the atmos- phere with odors. The strange thing about the occurrence is that the popu- lace, observing this odor, has not gone forth and incontinently immersed itself in the tide of what it has been told was lava.

DECEITFUL
How a FIrecracker FusiIade Became q
Dark Tragedy.

How a FIrecracker FusiIade Became a
Dark Tragedy.
A dark mystery has developed in the
erstwhile peaceful precincts out on the
Kenwood car line. To those who knew
the why and wherefore the situation
proved amusing.
In retaliation for a mild GOSH quick
witted lady and her 17year-old son last
evening posted Ku-Elux warning on the
door Of the offender, and followed it up
by lively fusilade OF large freorackers.
The neighbors had been warned by phone
and took lively interest in the fun as
the beseged hung out flag Of truce, and
the besiegers, after each volley, hurried
into the shadow Of a nearby house.
Just about this time other residents of
heard the shooting and saw the lady In
question running to cover around the cor
ner of house, closely followed by her
stalwart son. It was too dark to- recog-
nize the fugitive and the apparent pur-
suer, but the indications Of deep. dark
tragedy were evidently plain, and the OBJ
servers went home wondering, greatly.
BY this morning the skeleton of the trag-
edy had been we'll clad in circumstantial
flesh, and, among the uninitiated.. there
was great speculation as to the identity
of the man seen chasing woman across
a lawn and firing at her with a large
revolver"
All Of which goes to show that appear
ances are deceitful and that it doesn't do
to jump at conclusions. y

JEWS OBSERVE PASSOVER
The Week Is Ono Of Home.Comlng for
L. Wanderers.

The celebration Of the passover by the
orthodox Jews Of Minneapolis began last
night at shutdown and will continue for
eight days. This great festival Of the
Jewish church has been continuously OBJ
served for $500 years and as the years
pass it loses little Of it's original impor-
lance in the eyes Of the devotees. In the
larger cities Of the east the festival
amounts to an almost total suspension of
business for several days and the cere-
mon1als are solemn and impressive.
p The week has come to be regarded as
more or less Of an "Old home week
among the Jews. Every wandering son
or daughter attempts to reach home II,

parents or relatives. Great preparations
are made prior to the beginning of the

to the city. The old-time license re-
ceipts amounted to about $4,000.
The dispensary profits for January,
the first month Of it's existence,
amounted to about $1,000. At this
rate the dispensary profits will amount
