W. R COIL ROBBED.
Thieves Secure Goods to the Amount Of
Fifty Dollars

Thieves broke into the dry
goods store of w. r, Coil of this
place Sunday night and secured
about fifty dollars worth of goods
consisting of Underwear, shoes
neckties shirts hose and various
other articles of wearing apparel.
Entrance was gained by break
ing one OF the front windows
and from the size of the hole the
thief went through it is supposed
to have been a boy or very small
man. The robbery is thought to
have occurred about one thirty
O'Clock as people near the store
heard some noise about this
time. City Marshall Barnett
went to work on the case early
Monday morning and is conf
dent he has a clew that will lead
to the arrest of the guilty
parties, although no arrests have
been made yet. 1t is though
that the work was done by some
one living here and Mr.. Barnett

ADJUAANT GENERAL APPOINT
MENT WILL SOON BE ANNOUNCED.

Frankfort, KY. March 27.--
Especial. The State Board of
Control will meet here the first
of April for the purpose of or
ganizing and taking over the
management of the charitable
institutions placed under It's
care by the act creating such
board. 1t is expected that the
Governor will shortly thereafter
appoint an Adjutant General to
succeed Gen. Haley who is at
the head of the new board.
1t has been greatly believed that
Henry r. Lawrence will receive
the appointment to succeed Gen.
Haley. But there has lately
been a strange movement, in
military circle particularly, in
favor of the appointment of
military man in the person of
Col. Noel Gaines. Many of the
military men of the State think
that the Office should 60 to man
with extensive military exper-
fence and that such a promotion
would have wide spread and last
ing good effect upon the rank
and the file of the State Guard.

about being driven from home by
her children. Judge Wilson
found on conversing with her
that her mind was affected and
persuaded her to return home.
Monday she was brought to Mad

ed that she had shown marked
signs of insanity. A jury was
selected and she was declared
insane.
This is the fifth time she has

staff and is one of the most pop
ular officers In the regiment.
This promotion of Capt. Rash,
unexpected as it was to many.

inner circles of the State Guard

among military men that a more
satisfactory selection could not
have been made for the vacancy.

ROOSEVELT TO LABOR MEN
Dfscourses On Right of Injunction,
and Defends Panama Canal
Policy.

Washington, March 23.-President
Roosevelt received large body OF rep
resenatives of organized labor, headed
by American Federation of Labor Of
ficials, at the White House, and talked
to them about their urgent request for
the enactment of labor measures now
pending before congress. The text OF
his remarks follows:
"As. for the right of injunction, 1t is
absolutely necessary to have this pow
err lodged in the courts, though, of
course, any abuse of the power is
strongly to be reproDated. During the
four and half years that ! have been
president, | do not remember an in
stance where the government has in
voked the right of injunction against
combination of laborefs. We have
invoked 1t certainly score OF times
against combinations of capital. But,
understand me, gentlemen, IL ever
thought it necessary; If thought a
combination of laborers were doing
wrong, would apply for an injunc-
ton against them just as quick as
against so many capitalists.
Explains Panama Affairs.
can eight-hour law for the Panama
canal is an absurdity. Every one Of
you knows that we can not get white
labor, can not get labor of the United
States to go down to Panama and work
We are driven to extremities in the eff
fort to get any kind of labor at all
The conditions that make the eight
hour law proper here have no possible
reference to the conditions that make
the eight-hour law entirely proper
there. The conditions are so utterly
different ON the isthmus as compared
to here, that 1t is impossible to draw
conclusions affecting the one from
what is true Of the other"

Easily the event of this week
in regard to rate legislation was
the long awaited speach of Sena-
tor Spooner. The Wisconsin
Senator is regarded by many as
the leading constitutional law
yer in the Senate, SO that his
words always carry great weight.
His speech consisted almost en-
tirely of a refutation of the
arguments of Senator Bailey,
who advocates the stripping of
the courts of their power by
preventing them from suspending
a rate made by the Commission
while such rates is being review
ed. OF course, strong practical
objections to such an extreme
step have already been made, It's
opponents pointing out. that to
temporarily enforce ruling
which might afterwards be set
aside would work great injury,
and that it is far better to make
sure, before finally putting an
order of the Commission into
effect, that the rate is not unfair.

roads give bond for the amount
