The MYSTERIOUS WOMAN AGAIN.

The mysterious woman with
her pony and dogs who recently
passed through this county was
arrested in Larue county last
Saturday, and was placed in jail
at HOdgenville. 1t is said that
she was at first charged with va
grancy, but upon displaying a
well filled purse of the long green
the charge was changed to that
OF carrying a concealed deadly
weapon. She succeeded in Great
ing a good deal of sympathy.
She claims that her arrest was
the result of an attack made up
on her by number Of boys, but
at no time did she attempt to
harm any of them.
The woman says she is search
ing for a man who murdered her
sister in Pennsylvania number
of years ago, and while she has
been unable to locate him she be-
lieves he is somewhere in the
central part of this State. -Leba-

THE GREATEST OFALL IS CHARITY.

We do not know the full of
each others troubles. Just as
we do not know each others
lives. We pass and repass along
life's way, and in greeting say
that we are getting along all
right or that "all's WE'LL" But
back behind this commendable
spirit may lie trouble that gnaw
eternally at the vitals of our lives.
The buried past" is not always
dead, but we may leave links
that may yet chain it to the iv-
ing present. Therefore we
should be more charitable toward
each others faults. Perhaps if
you fully knew your brothers..
life, it would soften that hard
spot in your heart that you have
nursed against them. We are
subject to error, to wrong doing,
to q merciless fate that some
times seems inevitable. Let Us
be charitable and merciful to-
wards all fellowbeings. Eek.

Young man, one of the worst
things you can do is to become a
candidate for office and if you do
make the mistake of becoming a
candidate the best thing that can
happen to you is defeat. If elect
ed, your mind drifts away from
your calling and you begin to
plan and scheme for holding the
place you have or securing a bet
ter one. The chances are ten to
one that you will never turn loose
the public teat until the people
beat you off with a club, and
then you'll find yourself out of
line for other work as we'll as un-
prepared. Count it all gain when
you are defeated at the ballot
box.

D. and 5. RAILROAD.

The incorporation of the Dan
vile and Scottsville Railroad
Company encourages the hope, if
not the belief, that the road will
be built. Since the project was
first suggested the citizens of
Danville have given the question
some thought and now realize
that the construction of the road
would be of great benefit to this
community. Danville's import
ance as a railroad center would
be a very much enhanced by the
entrance of the new road. It
would thus be the terminus of
the Danville and Scottsville rail
road, a terminal Of the Southern
Railway in Kentucky, and one of
the principal statious on the Gin
cinnati Southern. AS a junction
point it would be the most i'm
portant on the line of the Gin
cinnati Southern. That would
mean a vast increase in tn e
amount of business done at Dan
vile in freight and passenger
transfers, the erection of rail-
roads hops, and the employment
of a large force Of men. These
employees and tn cir families
would swell our population and
the merchants and the entire
community would profit by this
growth. The construction Of the
proposed road would make Dam
vile a competitive point thus
enabling it to secure the lowest
freight rates. With low freight
rates and an inviting field for
business wholesale houses would

WILLIAMS AND THE SOUTH.

The passage of the Nationa
Quarantine Bill by an overwhelm-
ing majority of the House is re-
garded as personal victory for
John Sharpe Williams. It is more
than that, it is in a double sense
a victory for the South, first in
the establishment of the fact
that the South has come to rec
ognize that it is a part of the
National Government, and as
such, is entitled to her share in
the benefits of the National Gov
eminent; and, second in the ma
terial and immediate advantage
that will come to the South if the
bill passes the Senate and be-
comes law.
The Williams Bill is the pro-
duct of the Southern Quarantine
and immigration coference held
in Chattanooga in November.
1t was Williams who brought an
end to the interstate jealousies
of Louisiana and Mississippi and
put a finish on the talk about
State rights, which had as its
object the cutting off of the
Southern States from their actual
rights for fear that their mag.
mary rights would be assailed.
If the law goes into effect il
will save the South thousands in
commerce, and scores of lives.
It will put an end to the disgrace
brought by demagogues who
seek the critical occasion of cpl
demic peril to exploit themselves
at the threatened peril of thei1
own and their sister States, anc
it will mean that the South has
got back in the Union for the
good of the South and the Union

STILL AFTER HUNTER.

Washington, April 4.-Com-
missioner Green has gone to
Louisville to investigate w. God
frey Hunter, who is charged with
collecting money from Federal
oficeholders to make his last race
for Congress. Commissioner
Greene, who will arrive in Louis
vile this afternoon, has declined
to make any statements as to
what his Department has ascer-
tanned during the investigation
which has been in progress for
several weeks.
Representative Edwards, who
defeated DR.. Hunter in the race
in which the latter is alleged to
have violated Civil Service laws
in collecting money, is apparent
ly taking no part in the investiga-
ton. It is understood here that
George Jolly, of Greensboro, is
back of the movement. Testi-
mony as to the check for $1OO
which E. T. Franks, of Owens
bore, sent to DR.. Hunter, will
probably figure in the case, not
withstanding the fact that the
President re-appointed MI.
Franks, knowing that the check
had been given to DR.. Hunter.
Mr.. Franks told the President
that in sending DR.. Hunter the
check he was discharging a debt
of gratitude to DR.. Hunter, who
had advanced him money when
he, Mr.. Franks, was a struggling
youth. Mr.. Franks loyalty and
generosity as set forth, appealed
to the President, it is said, and
aided rather than injured Mr..
Franks cause.
Republican Congressman are
awaiting developments in the
Hunter case with i'll concealed
anxiety. It is customary for Re
publican Representatives to levy
assessments upon Federal en-
ployes to make their races, and
they fear that if a case is made
against DR.. Hunter, the practice
will have to be abandoned. Com
missioner Greene's apparent de-
termination to dig out what there
is in the Hunter case causes the
Republicans to denounce him as
q crank.

A FAIR COUNT.

In an interview at Washington
Senator James McCreary says he
is confident of re- election, wheth-
er Gov. Beckham is a candidate
against him or not. with a
fair count, said he II am sure
will be returned to the Senate. "
The inference to be drawn from
this is that the State machine
may endeavor by improper meth
DDS to defeat him. Speaking of
the Senatorial aspirations of Gov
ernor Beckham he said; II have
received letters lately from ev-
cry part of Kentucky, and l am
satisfied that the Democrats of
my state will elect me for a Sec
ond term. I have already an
nounced to my friends that l
shall be q candidate for one rea-
son that almost without excep-
ton Democratic Senators have
been given two terms, and often
three terms in our State. / have
always tried to be a faithful and
efficient officer whenever the
people of Kentucky have honor
ed me with Office. / am there
fore sure of reelection with a
fair count. -

WHAT IS LIBEL?

If the laws governing words
or charges which are put in writ
ing, should be made applicable to
words spoken, there would be
few men and women who would
escape the pains Of the law.
But the statutes are diverse on
the subject and the question:
What is libel?" is the pertinent
and interesting question. 1t is
reasonable and sound to define
libel as written or printed state
ment designed to do injury to
some person and published with
malicious intent, for malice is
the essential element of libel.
Libel is the one thing the rep
utable newspaper seeks to avoid,
for the publisher of that class Of
newspapers not alone appreciates
the public support he receives,
but is careful of the reputation
and the character of: individ-
ual units making up the sum to
tai of the community in which
he publishes his paper.
There can be no malice in a
mistake. Neither can there be
malice on the part of a newspa-
per in the publication of the
news, if of public interest to a
community, provided the usual
and the ordinary means of YER
ification are employed in the in
vestigation of the item and yet,
as in remarks made by individ-
uals, the reputable newspaper
sometimes is imposed upon or is
mistaken-but there has never
yet been an instance where the
reputable citizen, or the reputa-
BILE newspaper, has not FASTENED
to make all due reparation posi-
BILE, and to place the parties af-
fected in their proper light be-
fore the community and in a
manner as public and conspic-
uous as was given to the item
containing the mistake.
1t is not given to this man to
60 through this life without mis-
takes accompanying his walk;
neither is it possible for the
newspaper to go through it's ca
reer without falling into error at
times but the errors are always
regretable and haste is always
made to do that which the cir
cumstances of the case require.
Of course, that sort of &C.
acknowledgements fails to suit the
damage suit lawyer or the ambu-
lance chaser, but it is, course
which commends itself to a dis
eliminating community and al.
ways will. -Owensboro Messen.

Schooner Aground in Nomini Creek

The two-masted schooner Mcnamara,
laden with laths for, this city. which was
reported aground in Nomini creek last
week and which was fioated by her crew
and was thought to be on her way to this
city. was found ashore in Nomin Sunday
morning when the steamer Harry Randall
came out Of that creek bound for this
city The schooner was laying well out on
the beach in the mouth Of the creek. When
the Randall went by her the seas from the
steamer caused the vessel to fall over and
a portion Of her deckload Of lumber slid
overheard Three members of her crew
who were sitting on the lumber went into
the water with it. but as the water was
shoal they escaped with only a ducking.
The Mcnamara has aboard a load of
shingles and lumber consigned to dealers
here from a Virginia port She was caught
in the heavy blow of ten days ago in the
bay and is supposed to have been damaged
and to have sought shelter in Nomini to
repair. In going into the creek through
the narrow entrance from the river she
went ashore on the flats, where she was
seen by the crew of the Randall. The
owners Of the cargo here may send another
vessel to take 1t off the Mcnamara and
bring 1t to this city.
