SUES WEALTHY RANCHMAN
FOR $25,ooo--A HOT BUNCH OF
PASSIONATE LOVE LETTERS.

The answer has been flied in the

petition Of Synthla Ferguson. of Pa
ducah who has instituted suit tor
$25,0O0 against NJ. n. Kennedy a
rich Iowa farmer, on account Of al.
legged breach of promise of marriage.
Henderson claims that his proposal
was made subject to conditions which
were never accepted by Miss Ferguson
and that. therefore, no contract of
marriage was ever in force. He also
alleges that a financial arrangement
had BEEN agreed upon with a view Of
annuIling existing relations and that
these conditions he has been ready
and willing to fulfill
Kennedy claims to have choice
assortment OF love letters by which he
will seek to snow that he was The
wooed one and that the burning words
OF endearment and love wrought upon
his unsophisticated nature to such an
extent that he found great difficulty
in tearing himself away from the al
lurements Of the blue grass bella."

REQUIRE TIME AND
MONEY.

In The Mound City department of
the Bulletin this morning appears an
article 10 The effect that the Cairo
Electric and Traction company is
planning to extend its line 10 Mound
City. The story sent by the Bulletins
spec al correspondent says that Mr..
John Herman, representative Of the
Traction company was in Mound City
Saturday to confer with the leading
citizens of that city regarding the
proposed extension
II has long been known that the
Cairo Electric and Traction company
has been planning an interurban line,
but from the story sent from Mound
City. it would seem that the plan is
taking on a more definite shape.
Mr. NJ. C. Wright. president of the
company. in an interview given last
winter, stated that after the subway
was completed, the next step Of the
company, in the line of improvements
would in ali probability be the extern
sion of the line.
Several different routes have been
considered but none of them surveyed
or decided upon Mr. Wright stated
last night to the Bulletin that there
was nothing new regarding the Inc.
which he could give out He added
however. that nothing definite had
been settled upon and that it would
require much time to finance the
deal. select route and secure the
rightof.way and interest outside capt
tai
The company has no doubt been
getting the opinions of the leading
citizens in Mound City and other
towns. where the proposed nterur
ban may touch When the extension
was first talked of it was said that
merchants in neighboring towns
would no. favor the plan because 1t
would bring a majority of the trade
TO Cairo instead Of their homes. The
story sent from Mound City, how
ever, says that all Of the merchants
there are heartily in favor OF the
plan.

Hon. W. B. Lamar.

Directly upon the conclusion of
the Farmers Meeting in the court
house last Saturday it was announced
that Hon. W. b. Lamar, Congressman
from the Third district, was present
and would address the audience. The
popularity of the distinguished gen
tleman was evidenced by the fact
that nearly the entire large assem-
blage remained seated and listened
with evident pleasure to the speaker.
Mr.. Lamar complimented the
farmers of Madison county upon the
organization just perfected and prom'
ised TO assist in every way possible,
at any and all times in carrying GU.
the purposes of the organization.
The speaker then referred briefly
to the Swayne impeachment case
which be so brilliantly carried sue
cessfully through the House OF Rep
resenta,ives only to have q partisan
Senate refuse to impeach the Federal
Judge. He showed wherein the
work done had already accomplished
90 ID and must result to the benefit
of the public Notwithstanding the
failure to impeach.
For about one hour Mr.. Lamar
lucidly discussed the great issues
no ~ before the public-Railway rate
Legislation, insurance Scandals etc
His entire speech was well received
and when be bad finished it was his
pleasure to shake the hands OF many
of his warm personal and poit'ca'
friends.

A level headed exchange avs:
Learn this one thing, learn it
early In life, and learn it well,
that the man who does not be-
lieve as you do is not always a
fool. The fact that you hold
views not in accord with your
neighbor is not proof positive
that you are right and he is
wrong, nor is it evidence that
your neighbor is insincere. If
this were true, then all smart
men would belong to one party,
and all good men to come to one
church. And if all belonged to
one party ami one church they
would break up both party AND
church."
