tiOn Amendment.
A Bill Introduced to Change the
Manner Of selecting Juries in
Circuit Court.
TO SUPPRESS THE CLANs,IAN.

nicipal committee passed favorably
on Mr.. Klair's bill enabling councils
of second-class cities to construct
sidewalks and sewers without con-
sent of two-thirds of the abutting
property owners.
The most important bill recon-
mended by the municipalities COM
mittees is the one providing for the
annexation of contiguous territory to
city of second-class contingent sole
ly upon vote of citizens of the city
and not of the territory. An I'm
portant amendment was made to the
bill. however, exempting cities of the
third and fourth class from being
annexed to cities of the second class.
except upon three-fifths vote of resi-
dents of the first-named cities. This
provision is to prevent the annexa
ton of Dayton. Bellevue and Ludlow
to Newport and Covington.
The house committee on public
monuments and historical records
unanimously agreed to report favor
ably on the Gorham bill appropriate
ing $500 to repair the Clay monu-
ment.
The house committee on agricul-
ture decided to recommend for pass
age the bill introduced by Ed Croan.
of Bullitt county, concerning dogs.
The bill provides that when a tax Of

to the same protection as other live
stock. and exemplary damages may
be secured from anyone killing such
dog. Anyone poisoning dog not

fails or refuses TO pay tax is sub
jet to a fine of s25. and in addition
the dog shall be killed. Dogs under
the bill must be listed for taxation.

Frankfort. KY, Jan. PA jury
reform bill was introduced in the
senate and from its authorship ii APP
pears to have the backing of the ad-
ministration. 1t Is also practically
certain of the backing of the Louis
VILE delegation and of many Repub-
leans.
Senator Mat l.. Harbeson, of Gov
ington, who is slated" to be APP
pointed judge in the new division OF
the Kenton circuit court intro
duced the bill.
The principal reform in the bill is
to require judges to draw the names
of jurors from the wheel in open
court.
Mr.. Harbeson says the bill Is not
directed against any particular court
however, and from the contents OF
the bill it appears to be merely for
improving the jury system. There
are various other amendments to the
selection of Jurors in the bill. In
stead of twenty names, twenty-four
shall be drawn from which to select
the grand jury. and instead of thirty
names, thirty-six shall be drawn
from which to select petit jury
panels.

IMPORTANT PART
Is BEING PLAYED BY THE UNIT
ED STATES IN MOROCCAN
GAME.
The Nations Are Well Grourcd and
B, the End Is Not We, In
Sigh.

Algeciras. Jan. 24.--HenTy White,
American ambassador to Italy and
head of the American delegation to
the Moroccan conference. is making
the weight or the United States felt
in quiet endeavors TO bring France
and Germany nearer together before
the disputed questions arise in the
conference. These questions cannot
be long delayed as the consideration
of economic and financial reforms in
Morocco will begin next week.
II has been impossible for the
United States to take the lead In
seeking a way toward an agreement
that shall guarantee to all countries
and recognize in some respects the
special position of France. II Is a
iifferent task but all the govern
ments except those directly in ac-
cord are associated in il because of
the danger should the conference fail
of settling the dispute.
Great Britain is acting entirely
With France and is not disposed nov
to ask France To modify her views.
Italy. however, as the ally OF Ger
many and the friend Of France. and
Russia as the ally of France and the
friend OF Germany. are cooperating
in the effort to find compromise.

A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.

kentucky republicans have every
cause to be proud of their record
says the Louisville Herald. They an
ticipated Theodore Roosevelt by thir-
ty years or more in desire for the
elimination of sectionalism. In their
state convention of 1871 the repub-
licans OF Kentucky resolved unani-
mously: 'fWe earnestly desire a res
toration of friendly relations with
the people of our sister states, lately
in arms against our national author
ity, and earnestly wish for them all
the blessings and prosperity to be en-
joyed under a republican form OF
government. We are in favor of a
complete amnesty to all of our fell
low citizens of every state who are
laboring under disabilities by rea-
son of any part taken in the late re-
bellion."
In 1888 the republicans of Ken
lucky took firm stand for the repub-
lican policy of protection. The state
convention of that year unanimously
resolved: THAT We favor the ad-
justment of a tariff that will not on
ly provide a revenue sufficient to de-
fray the expenses of the government.
but afford just and reasonable pro-
lection to the Industrial classes OF
our country without being oppressive
to the agricultural and other inter
ests of our people" ani'a 80
Under that policy OF protection
thus Endorsed Kentucky has gone on
and prospered. Had the democratic
party been in power at Washington,
but for brief and to the people costly
intervals only, Kentucky had receded
in population, wealth and culture.
In 1887 the republicans of Ken
lucky, after declaring that I'VE APP
prove of and will support tariff so
adjusted as to protect and develop
American industries" resolved:
THAT we are heartily in favor of
asking and receiving federal aid to
the common school system
This last resolution is precursor,
by many years, of the movement now
in progress for the reimbursement of
the south for the money spent in ed
a.
deed, fair that the south. having
been deprived of billion dollars
worth of slaves. and obliged to bear
several other billions of losses due to
war should be compensated for ex-
penditures incurred in providing
schools for at least the first genera
ton of negroes born after the open
ing of the civil war.

VARIETIES Of CORN.

Twenty varieties Of corn were plant
cd on the station plats April 20, 1905.
They matured from September 4, to
October 25. Early Leaning riPened
in 12S days. This is q yellow corn
which is ell adapted to almost any
section of the State. Boone County
White, an improved strain from In
diana. matured in 1872 days; Virginia
Golden Dent in 152 days; Hickory
King in 156 days; Cookies Prolific in
175 days. Our experience with Virgin
ia and western grown seed indicates
that the climate has a determining in
fluence on the shape and character OF
the grain. Our climate does not favor
the development OF long deep grain
with a rough top so characteristic OF
the western corn. This indicates very
clearly that Virginia farmers must
undertake the seleetion and improve
ment of strains of western corn fol
themselves and that they cannot use
the western product, except possibly
for foundation stock. These varietiei
of corn were planted in cheeks 80
incl apart in each direction which
| gave 1000 hills per acre and 5000 stalks.
The importance of selecting corr
carefully and using standard varieti e'
was shown by the fact that there were
only per cent. of barren stalks in

their home in Staunton where they
resided for many years. Maj Lee was
an architect and civil engineer. He
built the old National Valley Bank
building and other structures in the

talents young Lee studied civil engi
