New Hotel About Completed.

1t is hoped by the contractor and the
men at work in the building that this
week will complete the work on the
new Winnesheik hotel. But little is
left for the carpenters to do, and the
decorators have but few days work
remaining. An artist arrived from
Chicago last week to direct the work
in the main rotunda, corridors, dining
room, etc. and it now looks as though
he will be through this week. At all
events it is reasonably certain that
the work will be practically finished
by the middle of next week. 1t is
the unanimous opinion of all who
have inspected the building that it is
one of the handsomest, most modern,
most comfortable and most convenient
in plan, arrangement, style, detail and
finish of anything in the state, build
ing that our citizens may poiut to with
pride.
1t is also believed that the company
and the city is especially fortunate in
securing such man to lease and con-
duct the hotel. Mr.. n. l.. Bailey of
Hastings, Mimi, has been in the hotel
business for twenty-seven years, most
of the time in Fergus Falls and Hast
ings, MINI. Himself and family come
very highly recommended, he is amply
able to finance the enterprise so far
as his part is concerned, and is con-
genial, conservative, successful hotel
proprietor. He has made his purchases
Of furniture, fixtures, ETC., having
spent $l2, 900 for these, and they are
elegant and substantial in every par
ticular. He is expected to come to
DEBORAH this week, and the furniture
will be shipped in rapidly, and in
stalled as fast as it arrives. 1t is safe
to state that at the outside by the first
of April the magnificent new hotel
will be open throughout.

large purchases and shipping direct
to the Atlantic coast. Last week
alone he shipped over two thousand
hogs, in eighteen double decked cars.

The Court of Appeals, in re-
versing the judgment of the Clark
Circuit Court in the case of the
Board of Education of Winchester
VS.. the City of Winchester, has
given definition of a two-thirds
vote.
At the November, 1904, election
the City Council and Mayor, by
an ordinance, submitted to vote
the question of issuing SIS, 200
bonds for improvement of school
buildings. At the election 633
votes were cast in favor of the is
sue and 300 against it,
Section 1871 of the constitution
provides that no Indebtedness to a
municipal government shall be in
Cured unless by two-thirds' vote
of those voting at that election.
While the vote cast on the bonds
was the required number, it was
not two-thirds of those voting at
the same election.

Short Crop in Hancock.
Hancock Clarion. J

Prospects are not at all flattering for
the 1905 crop Of tobacco in Hancock
county. After careful investigation 1t
is doubtful if more than 50 per cent. Of
the usual crop will be planted-certain-
" not more than IS, Tnis is far be
low the number of hills allotted to each
hand under the scheme of curtailing
the average by the Society Of Equity,
and is accounted for in the fact that
plants are probably scarcer than they
have been in a decade or more. In the
low lands plants were overlooked and
killed by heavy rains of a few weeks
ago while no great effort was made at
a crop to begin with. Many of the
plants froze, while bugs are said to have
been worse than was ever known. The
beds are very near a failure everywhe e,
and there will be genuine curtailing
in all parts of Hancock county.

AGED WOMAN STILL HEARTY
Though She Has Been Victim OF
Many Accidents in Recent Years.

Though she is eighty-three
years of age and has sustained
many injuries in recent years, Mrs.
Maria Duncan, of this city, is still
hearty for a woman of her age
and has stood the physical mis-
fortunes which have befallen her
unusually well. Two accidents
of which she was the victim just
recently were peculiar because of
their similarity and nearness.
Several years ago Mrs. Duncan
fell while coming down the steps
from a church and broke the
right arm. Before the right arm
was out of the sling she fell while
crossing her room and the other
arm was broken. Her left arm
was broken again last winter
during the heavy sleet. She at
tempted to walk from the resi-
dence of Mrs. G. T. McClanahan,
her niece, to the Fisher Home
stead on the pike but had scarcely
gotten out of the gate when she
slipped on the sleet and fell with
the result stated above. Some
time previous to this accident
Mrs. Duncan suffered a disloca-
ton of her left hip by fall.
The last accidents that have be-
fallen MIS-. Duncan were caused
by falls while crossing the floor
of her room. Her foot became
entangled in a rug and she was
thrown to the floor, quite a por-
ton of flesh being removed from
the left side of her face. Only
shortly after the injury was dress
ed she fell again and the same
! injury occurred to the other side
of her face.
MIS-. Duncan has walked on
crutches a great deal but still has
been able to get about much.

Helping Upbuild Kentucky.

The Louisville Commercial Club
began its new fiscal year by Gre
ating three standing committees
devoted to State Improvements
upon recommendation of the new
president, Mr.. V. ii. Engelhard.
One of these has been at work for
some time, that of State Devel-
opment. The other two are on
State Organizations and Trans
portation and Immigration. Mr.
A.E. McBee has been made chair
man of the State Organization
Committee. which has for its spe-
cifc duty the encouraging of bus
mess organizations throughout
Kentucky. 1t will probably en-
ploy a good speaker to tour the
State in an effort to organize new
business organizations and awak-
en- renewed interest in old associa-
tions of this character.
The committee on Transporta-
ton and Immigration, of which
Mr.C. NJ. Robertson is chairman,
has to look especially to getting
desirable immigrants to locate IN
the State. 1t will also help different
communities in handling transpor-
tation difficulties. The work Of
the State Development Committee
is already known to people in all
parts of Kentucky.
Another work which will doubt
less interest citizens in all parts of
the State undertaken by the Com
mercial Club is that of inviting
owners of manufacturing plants
who are thinking of changing
their location to come to Ken
lucky. Within the past few days
over one hundred letters on this
subject have been written to diff
ferent part of the United States
and three of them have gone to
foreign countries.

the connection which 1t is used, cannot

The court says that neither the
"King James" edition, nor any edition
of the Bible, is sectarian. That the
adoption of any particular edition by
one or more denominations as authentic,
or by them asserted to be inspired, can
not make it a sectarian book.
