POWERS FRIEND
]. H. Moore, a Boyhood COmpan-
ion, Remains True to the
Prosecuted Political
Prisoner.

The story of the attachment be-
tween J. II Moore, OF Bsrbourville,
KY, and Caleb Powers, the ex. Secre-
ta,y OF State, now under sentence Of
death In the jail at Louisville, Is as
thrilling as that of Damon and Py tn.
ias. Mr.. Moore has been the life
long friend of the condemned man.
They were boys together at Barbour
vile and attended the same school.
When Powers became a. candidate for
Office Mr.. Moore was one OF his most
loyal supporters After the killing
OF Senator VIM. Goe bel and the arrest
OF Powers aud his subsequent trials
and convictions and final sentence of
death, Mr.. Moore has been his un-
wavsring friend He had just enter
Ell upon a collegiate course, which he
gave up to aid his unfortunate friend.
He has worked for him in and out of
season, devising and planning means
to carry his case to the Supreme
Court OF the land OF his own funds
he has contributed the whole to the
defense of his boyhood friend, and
yet he wavers not In loyalty to the
stricken man. He has enlisted the
sympathy of ex-Gov. Atkins, OF West
Virginia, ex-Gov. Bradley, of Ken
lucky, and other men OF prominence,
Ia the case of Powers. He called
upon Mayor Fleischman Thursday,
bearing letters from friends to that Of
fic'al, and was we'll received. His
appeals are not heard in vain, as a
rule, and he is awakening new inter
est in the famous case.-Cincinuati

BOYS IN TROUBLE.
Albert and Clarence Long Ar
raigned for Forgery.

Two more have been added to the
list of Jailer Blacks boarders. They
are Albert and Clarence Long, whose
father. with whom they have former
ly lived, resides near lingo.
Albert, the elder of the two, is
abou, seventeen years old, while
Clarence is only about fourteen. They
are charged with forgery ard ecknowl-
edge to the change and say that they
signed Henry Travis name to an or.
der to Carson & Co. for S3.75 worth
of goods.
Forgery is a felony and the punish
ment is confinement in the poniten-
tiary from two TO ten year,, end as
they have already acknowledged
their guilt, 1t Is certain that they will
get a term in prison, unless the court
is induced to send them to the house
of reform. eco.
The amount of goods they fraudu-
lently obtained is very small matter
to be sent to the penitentisry fer but
the severity of the punishment fixed
for forgery Is occasioned by the Preat
moral turpitude Of the oHense.

GROUNDING DAY,
BehOldS Shadow and Returns
to BurrOw.
According to Ancient Myth Six
Weeks More of Winter Are
Assured.

With the advent If Candlemas day
the grounding comes In for a goodby
share of notoriety. Tuesday, Febru
airy 2. was Candlemas day, and conse-
quently grounding day, and if the an
cient belief that should he behold his
shadow there will be six weeks more
OF bad weather people in this neck-o-
the-woods are certainly in for 1t.
Tuesday was bright and fair, and so,
according to this myth when the
grounding issued forth at moon and
beheld the clear skies, the sagacious
little aoimal hurried back to his bur-
row, knowing that there would yet be
a long season of disagreeable wealth
err
Whether or not he knows exactly
when the I'd os February arrives. and
issues forth from his underground
home to become weather prophet and
prognosticate the atmospheric condi'
lions for the next six eks, is mat
ter pretty much OF popular conjecture
and scientifically considered is moth
ing more than mere myth, handed
down like hume rous others from an
Client times.
Many people firmly believe in 1t,
however, and dsrkies especially pin
their faith to the old superstition.
Owing TO the little animals habits. 1t
is no easy thing to prove either the
truth or fa'lacy of 1t.

Daughters Child Home
for Burial.

Covington, KY, Feb. 4 Too poor

mined that the remains of his daugh-
ter's infant should escape the potter's
field, Joseph S. johnson, Granger,
KY, yesterday called at the City Hos

The child was born to Mrs. Aman'

had just reached its FIRST year, when
1t fell Ill and died.
Mr.. Johnson told pitiful story and
the rules governing the handling OF
dead bodies were broken In his case.
Securing large shirt box he plac-
ed the little body inside. and then,
taking the precious burden under his
arm, he passed out among the hurry

LUMM is GONE.
Alleged ASSailant Of Two Child
rem is Probably In Mis-
souri,.

Greensboro, Ky, Feb. 2.-Alired
Lumm, for whom warrants were
sworn out Saturday, charging him
with criminally assaulting Nina and
Ruth Shaurtee, the little daughters
OF B. Shauutee, of near Powers, Is
prot ably in Missouri, with no knowl-
edge that he Is wanted for the crime.
Lumm came from thar Stare two
years ago and bought farm from
Judge TaSlo Several weeks ago he
sold the place aud announced his in
tention OF going back to Missouri. 1t
In alleged that on Monday OF last
week, Lumm. who is seventy years
old, assaulted Ruth Shsuntee. who is
only FIVE years old, and on the day
following committed the same crime
on Nina, who Is seven. The affair
happened at the home OF Mrs. Fake,
a relative OF the Shauntees. Mr..
Shauntee learned of the matter on
Thursday and charged Lumm with 1t.
The latter denied 1t as vigorously IS
possible. Shsuntee threatened to
have MIN arrested but did not swear
out the warrant until Saturday.
Lumm left Powers on the early train
Saturday morning, telling several OF
his friends goodby.
Opinion Is very much divided over
the matter. Many people believe
that there Is nothing In the charge
and In this opinion the local police
coincide to some extent. Lumm Is
quite we'll to do and has always
borne a good name.

School Term Will be Increased.

The bill introduced in the Senate
by Senator A. S. Bennett, extending
the common school term from FIVE 10
six months, has been passed by that
body and handed down to the House
for its approval. II the bill becomes
a law, which now seems probable, it
will be quite boon to the thousands
OF Kentucky children, and will also
meet the approval of the teacher In
the public schools.
