DON'T LIKE 1T.
A Few Farmers Want to "knock
Out the New Stock Law.

Everybody, apparently. is not
pleased with the new stock Law
which went into effect Dec. 18th. Pur.
suant to vote of the people taken
at the recent election, 1t is now un.
lawful TO allow stock to run at large
anywhere in the county.
4 day or two ago two farmers
came to the city and called on Police
Judge Sanders at the city hall. tell
ing him that they wanted to knock
out the stock law. and had been re-
ferred to him.
Judge Sanders informed them that
they had evidently been misinformed
as he had nothing to do with the
stock law in the county. and that
they should see practicing lawyer.
The men did not explain why they
wanted to knock out" the law. but
declared that many people voted for
it not knowing that they were so do
ing. and intending to vote against Il.
The law seems to be pretty well
observed, as no arrests have been
made for violations of It.

MEETING OF BOARD OF WORKS.

The board of public works at its
regular meeting yesterday afternoon
decided to inaugurate an innovation
in the inspection and repairs of
streets. 1t ordered the electric lamp
trimmers, who go over the entire
city several times a week to put
carbon in the city lights, to report
to Street Inspector Alonzo Elliott all
bad places in the streets, in order
that the inspector, who cannot al
ways be aware of bad places, may
know where they are and have them
repaired The electric light plant is
under the supervision of the board
of works, and it will be practically
no trouble for the trimmers to make
note of bad places when they come
across them.
The board decided at the instance
of the Evansville contractors, to
make an inspection of the Second
street sidewalks, which have never
been formally received by the city,
in order that estimates may be made
and the contractor get his money.
Permission was given George o.
Hart to make connections with water
mains from his building on North
Third between Broadway and Jeffer-
son. He Will be required to tunnel
under the street without disturbing
the pavement. and the work must be
done under the supervision of the
city engineer
Bills were ratified to Messrs. ]. c.
Porter. for s1G7.56 and c. II. Sher-
rill, for s29S.72, for extensions made
to the sanitary sewerage from Tenth
and Jefferson to Mr.. Porter's house,
and for storm water connections on
Fountain avenue for Mr.. Sheriff..
II was reported that the Traction
company had cut city wires from the
power house TO the city's sewerage
pumping station, and an investiga-
ton was ordered made to ascertain
why it was done The wires are to
furnish power for the dynamo should
1t become necessary to operate the
pumps.
The street sweeping department
was ordered to sweep Jefferson and
Kentucky streets where improved. as
they are getting very dirty. The city
has not been sweeping streets until
they are accepted by the city. The
only reason these have not been ac-
cepted is that a few feet near Jeffer-
son and Fifth have not been finished
out because there are no brick.
The street inspector was instruct
ed to correct some bad drainage
near the Hessig distillery in Mechan-
icsburg.
The board decided to adjourn over
until this afternoon to hear reports
from various departments and pre-
pare a report to Mayor Yeiser, and
to pass on the acceptance of the pave
ments constructed some time ago on
South Second street.

of discussion of the race question
since the publication of Thomas Dix
on, Jr.'s great novel "The Clans
man." While the Ku Klux Khan es-
tablished for all time the supremacy
of the Caucasian race o;her problems
of this subject have arisen. "The
Clansman" is far from being a So
called problem play but it does
present a striking and a life-like pic
ture of conditions in the south dur
ing the Reconstruction period. This
powerful drama will be presented
at the Kentucky theater on Friday,
of next week, by a large and care
fully selected cast. supernumeraries
