Government Inspector is Here
Today Investigating.
This viii Give McCracken County
Sin Fine Rural Routes
In All.
ONE ROUTE is INSPECTED

Rural Route Inspector A. A. Ache
son, of Washington, ID. c.. arrived In
the city yesterday for the purpose
OF inspecting two proposed new rural
routes, petitions for which were
signed up by the requisite number OF
people living along the route, and
had been forwarded to the postoffice
department.
As is customary, the inspector was
sent to go over the routes and de-
eide whether or not to recommend
their establishment
Both of these new routes are to
go towards st. Johns in the county.
One will go through Littleville, and
end at Lone Oak, and the other will
go out towards The Pines, and also
end near Lone Oak.
Inspector Acheson has Inspected
one of the routes, and will recon-
mend it, and doubtless also the other
one. although he has not yet gone
over the latter.
Both will be valuable additions
to the postal service in the county.
They will penetrate sections of the
county thickly populated, and will
be a great thing for the people, as
well. as for the merchants in the
City.
If these two routes are ordered
established, and it is supposed they
will be. it will give McCracken coun-
ty six rural routes four now being
in operation and highly successful.

No Sign of Peace.

Toxic. Jan. 5.-The weight of
opinion In Japanese official circles
seems to be against the belief in an
early conclusion OF peace and doubt
is expressed that the fall of Port Ar
thur will materially affect the situa-

One Of the officials said "The
present problem is created by Kuro-
patkin's army and by the Russian
second squadron, We anticipate
that the Russians will renew more
determinedly than ever their effort
TO drive Field Marshal oyama back
and that they will strive to regain
supremacy at sea. The situation
makes talk of peace futile"

At the Called Session Of the
Legislature.

the New Capitol site VIII Take
Hut Fifteen Days.
DATE or SESSION JANUARY ~

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 5.--Within
ten days the general assembly of
kentucky will meet here at the cap
itol in extraordinary session upon
cali of Gov. Beckham for the pur-
pose of providing for authorizing the
state capitol commission to provide
n new and suitable site for the cree
ton of the million dollar capitol for
which it appropriated funds at its
last regular session.
The call of the governor was is
sued yesterday for January
~. and confines the mem
bers of the assembly to one sub
iect. that to be the matter of site
within the city of Frankfort and un-
Ter the provisions of the constitu
ton no other matters can or will be
Considered.
When the assembly convenes Gov.
aeckham will send to 1t message
in writing giving its members the
benetit OF the investigation made by
himself and other members of the
commission.
A meeting of the commission be-
fore the issuing of the official call is
not necessary, as that document
comes from the hands of Governor
Beckham alone.
More than a majority of its mem
bers elected to each of the assembly
have over their signature Endorsed
the calling of such session to provide
4 new site.
The governor and members of tn
The governor and members of the
capitol commission are of the opin-
.on, after thorough investigation of
conditions, that money will be saved
to the state by an extra session.
They Think that the expense of NOV
ing out of the present building
should the old site be used, the ex-
pense of temporary quarters, the
ddnBer 10 ueSlIuCllOH ny nIS VI OlH-
erwise of the valuable records OF
the commonwealth and the fact that
the present. capitol will be saved to
the state by erection upon another
site, are serious matters to be con-
sidered and that the expense of an
extra session will be small when
compared to all of these things.
II is estimated here that the gen
eral assembly will do the work for
= hich it is to be called together with
in fifteen days from the day of con-
yCning. This will in no way delay the
ork on the new capitol. as the ar
chitect is now busy on the working
i,lans of the building, already accept
ed by the commission, and cannot
complete them .ea ly for the con
slructionists before the first OF
March next.

Retires as Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General.
He viii Become n Special Commits
sioner In the Government Ser
vice TO Visit Ports.
RESIGNATION EFFECTIVE JAN. 20

Washington, Jan. 14.-Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General Joseph l..
Bristow has resigned to take effect
Jan. 20. Late yesterday afternoon
President Roosevelt issued an order
that Bristow should be appointed a
special commissioner to visit ports on
the Atlantic coast of the United
States, the Pacific coast and the 18TH
mus of Panama for the purpose of
examining into trade conditions with
the view of determining the best poll
cy to be pursued in the management
of the Panama Railroad company.
Mr.. Bristow has had interviews
with the president and Secretary Taft
regarding the matter but his final
determination was not reached until
yesterday. His decision to accept the
special commissionership was hasten
ed, It is understood, by the transfer
of the division of postoffice inspectors
from the bureau of the fourth assist
ant postmaster general direct to the
control of the postmaster general
himself.
Mr.. Bristow regarded the order of
the transfer of the division as a re-
Election upon him. That the order as
to the inspectors division was not
issued with the idea of humiliating
Bristow was evidenced by the presi-
dents subsequent action.
Mr.. Bristow will continue as fourth
assistant postmaster general until the
Goth inst, when he will enter imme-
diately upon his new task

MOTHERS DEED
KILLS HERSELF BECAUSE HER
GIRL WAS NOT A BOY.
Also Caused the Death of Her Three
Year-Old Daughter.

Chicago, Jan. 14.--Brooding over
the fact that her child born six weeks
ago was a girl instead of a boy and
grieving over her failure to recover
from her illness, Mrs. Sarah Libman,
2S years old, committed suicide yes
terday at her home in Oakley ave-
nue. by taking gas. In taking her
own life Mrs. Iibman also caused the
death of her three-year-old daughter
Frieda. Two other small children
who had been overcome by the gas
were rescued by neighbok n time to
save their lives.
From the position of the children
when found 1t is believed the woman
did not contemplate causing the death
of the little ones. The two children
found unconscious were lying on the
floor of the rear bedroom. They say
that Frieda had been playing with
them but left them to assist her
mother in the belief that she was still
alive and the little girl herself had
been overcome and killed by the Gas.
