REAL AMERICANS IN KENTUCKY.
Whole Counties Without Resident of
Foreiun Birth

| There are counties in Kentucky
iWhere there Is moi q single resident Of
foreign birth, declared X. b Baker OF
Louisville, according to the Milwaukee
Sentinel The residents are. the de.
scendants of the old families who
came TO Kentucky when that state
was known as the dark and bloody
ground and who fought to make the
state what II is to-day They have no
land to sell to foreigners, they have
no business to do with them. therefore
the foreign population settles else
where / presume the same condition
Of affairs will be found in these same
counties fifty years from now.
Not anywhere else in this country
can there be found settlement which
is more truly American. When you
stop to consider the number Of nation
alities one meets gathered together in
almost every part OF the country, the
way these Kentuckians have managed
to keep to themselves is little less
than marvellous. Kentucky is unlike
any other state in the union, anyway.
In two counties there they have never
held coroner's inquest. They have
a coroner in each county. but they con
tend that K is MOI necessary to hold
an inquest over the remains of a man
who is killed il you know how he was
killed. They always know how the
dead ones are killed. In these same
counties | do not believe they have
ever held court without company or
two of militia, The people are not
assassins. but they have so long been
accustomed TO settling their own
troubles with the rifle and the shotgun
that they cannot accustom themselves
to the vengeance of the law in place
OF that of the individual"

BOARD GUILTY OF
GROSS NEGLIGENCE
ELSE DOUGHERTY COULD NOT
HAVE MADE WAY WITH
MILLION.
PEORIA BANK LIABLE
For Over Half Million of Fictitious
Scrip Directly Manipulated
Through the lnsti-
tuition.

Peoria, H., Jan 1.-The report of
experts on The defalcajions Of NJ @.
| Dougherty, the one-time superintend-
1 ent of the city schools, was made pub
| lie at a meeting of the school board
tonight The total shortage for seven
years is $541.40S from which will be
deducted approximately $4,000 for
unauthorized but warranted expendi-
lures, Experts expressed the opinion
| that the total shortage for eighteen
years would fall slightly short OF one
million dollars, stating that large
amounts of forged script had been
found in 1887 and 1889 but no totals
or estimates on these years had yet
been made
The report scathes the members of
the board and declares that if the
board or any of it's officers had used
even ordinary diligence in the per
Torrance of their duties the mulcting
of the fund would have been impos-
sible and that members OF the board
are individually liable for all short
age which can not be collected from
Dougherty and the Peoria National
bank
The report shows that $532,000 Of
the shortage was directly manipulated
by the cashing of fictitious scrip
through the Peoria National Bank of
which n. c. Dougherty was president
1t declares the bank is liable for ev-
cry cent q this amount The board
Immediately appointed an attorney to
recover from the bank, Senator Der
ry Of Carthage, receiver for the bank,
was present at the meeting and an
nounced he would fight in the courts
any attempt 10 hold the bank liable
