Was A Grand Affair
and Was AttendedBy
State Officers.
FOUR ARE INITIATED INTO
MYSTERIES OF THE ORDER

The banquet given by the Brecken-
ridge Lodge, No. 81, Knights OF
Pythias, in this city on Tuesday nigh
of last week was one of the most nota-
bic events in lodge circles of this city
in recent years.
The banquet was given in honor of
the grand officers of the State organiza-
ton, namely; T. r. McLain, Grand
Chancellor, Covington, Ky; ]. w.
Carter, Grand Keeper of Records and
Seals, Owensboro, KY, and George w,
Cox, Owensboro, honorary member of
he State officers. Other guests of honor
were Revs. IN. Currie and J. T. Lewis,
pastors of the Methodist and Baptist
churches, respectively, of this city, and
Messrs. J. w. Pate and L. E. Whitley,
all of whom were initiated into the
ranks of the order.
The imitation and other features of
the banquet were the occasion for an
all night session, and the affair was
conducted on a grand scale. Toasts
were numerous and each and every
Knight made some remark befitting the
occasion.
Mr.. Marion Weatherholt, in a few
brief but well worded remarks, vacated
the chair in honor of Grand Chancellor
McLain, who, upon taking his seat,
made talk upon topics relative to the
order. Mr.. Cox, of Owensboro, de-
livered the address of welcome, and
was responded to by Mr.. McLain in be-
half of the visitors.

J. 7. HARRAHAN
Conductor On FIRST Train Into Shell
byVilIe Now President Illinois
Central.

Thirty-six years ago next month the
first train of railroad cars steamed into
Shelbyvflle and the conductor on the
train was J. T. Harrahan. Mr..
Harrahan was elected TO succeed Mr..
S. Fish as President of the great
Illinois Central Railroad. Only a few
years before coming to Shelbyville Mr..
Harrahan was a section hand and there
are few men whose promotion has been
so sure and so steady. While conductor
of the Shelby Railroad, as it was then
called, he was also superintendent of it.,
and he would frequently get off the
train at Simpsonville or Scott's and
walk to Shelbyville or to Anchorage
that he might have personal knowledge
of the condition of every foot of the
track. 1t was untiring enegry, faithful
performance of every duty and close
study of the business that he determin-
ed to succeed in that has made J. T.
Harrahan probably the most noted rail-
road official in the United States. While
here he became a member of the
Masonic Lodge at this place and still
has his membership here. Shelby

THE 1904 CROP
Of Tobacco IN the Green River
Section Has Been Sold at
a Handsome Price
TO AMERICAN TOBACCO co.

All of the 1904 crop of tobacco held
by the American Society Of Equity in
the Gree River district, zz2 hogsheads
has been sold, the American Tobacco
company being the purchaser, says the
Owensboro Messenger. The deal was
recently closed between the Louisville
Warehouse company. acting as agent of
the A. 5. Of E.. and John Engelhard.
local representative of the American
Tobacco company. The exact price is
not known, the Equity people declining.
Just at this time, to give out the price,
Mr.. Engelhard stated that he purchased
last week 500 hogsheads at an aver
age price of $3.50. It is probable that
the price paid for the Equity tobacco
was somewhat in excess of the general
average.
Equity people are pleased with the
sale. The tobacco Of the eo4 crop was
not Of very high grade, and many Of
the growees having holdings in the pool
did not expect as good price as was
obtained
The tobacco sold was put up at
Whitesvlle, Hawesville, Calhoon, Sac
ramento, Hartford and Cloverport and
included the entire holdings in 1904
tobacco in the five counties composing
the Green River district. The total
amount of money received for the zz2
hogsheads will reach the neighborhood
Of 100000 At SO. 90 a hundred the
total would be $50, $40.
The money will be distributed among
the growers as soon as possible, but
there will be some unavoidap ple delays.
The tobacco will not be reweighed and
billed out until after the holidays, and
it will probably be ten days thereafter
before the money can be gotten ready
for distribution.

in FAVOR OF THE
CONTEST BOARD.
Judge CheIf Renders an Import.
ant Decision in Circuit
Court.

Hardinsburg, Dec. 25.-(Special. y
The opinion Of Judge Weed S. Chelf was
handed down last week in the case Of w.
II. Bowmer, &c, contestants VS.. o.
DeHaven &c, contestees, which is the
style Of the suit in which the validity Of
the loo al option election held in Clover
port on the 5th day of May was involved.
1t is complete victory for the local op-
tion people. The court holds that the
circuit court has jurisdiction of the case;
that the county Judge and the two JUS
tees of the peace residing nearest the
court house, is the proper contest board,
and that, because there was no special
registration held before the vote was
taken, the election is illegal and void
He sustained Judge Moorman's opinion
rendered in the former trial upon every
point. Judge Chelf concludes his opn-
ion as follows:
II am inclined to think that the cir
cult court has obtained jurisdiction of
this matter, and that it stands for trial
in this court de novo. This brings me
to the question Of the validity of the
election, and upon this question. | am
inclined to think under the ruling Of
Judge O'Rear in Early VS.. Raines, that
the point relied upon by contestants as
to the failure to provide for and hold
registration for the voters in Cloverport
is we'll token. Another point upon which
they rely, may also contain merit, but,
as think the failure to register is fatal
and renders the election void, it is not
necessary to go into that question.
1t is said that the contestees are con-
sidering the advisability to appeal from
the decision to the Court of Appeals.
The attorneys for the contestants are
Workman & Babbage and John P. Has
well, Jr.; and Murray and Murray rep

PUbL|CANS MAKE
STATE FORECAST.
Figures Received Indicate
That Gillett's Plurality
Will Be More Than 10000
INTERPRETERS
BY Hugh NJ Burke.

In making the prediction that Con-
gressmaH Gillett viii, be elected Gov
erner by plurality in excess of
twenty thousand the members, of
the Republican executive committee
take notice of the fact that California
is at the present time in a remarkably
prosperous condition. Political experts
adhere to the notion that the party in
power gains strength when the coun-
try is prosperous. When adversity
comes the voters hold the administra-
tion of public affairs accountable for
the hard times.
REPORTS come to Republican head
quarters that the farmers, business
men and the general army of work
ers in the field of Industrial enterprise
are satisfied with the conditions pre-
vailing throughout the State. In the
ranks of the discontented there are
supporters of Bell and Langdon, to-
gether with the hard and fast ad-
herents of the Socialist candidate for
Governor. At this time there is no in
dication of union of the forces op
posed to the Republican ticket
General Stone goes further than a
review of industrial conditions to jus
tify the forecast of Republican sue
cess on November 6. 1t is one of his
duties as chairman of the State CEN
trail committee to obtain accurate
hliONlCd VI pOlIllCdl dldlTS III every
county of the State. He perceives that
special precautions should be observed
in order that he may not be deceived
himself by glowing reports. There
fore he strives to obtain the cold facts.
1t has come to his knowledge that Re-
publican prospects in Amador, Gala
veras, Tuolurne and Nevada counties
are not as bright as he had reason to
expect. The belief is very strong,
however, that affairs will be adjusted
in these counties in a way that will
insure the party strength to the ticket.
In going down the column of coun-
ties party leaders place in the Gillett
list several counties that went for
Lane four years ago. In 1902 Fresno,
for example. gave Lane 400 plurality.
Mendocino County, now counted as safe
for Gillett, gave Lane majority of
200. There is deal of comment about
Republican weakness in Sacramento,
but the incident is not noted that Sac
ramento four years ago gave Lane 493
majority over Pardee. San Francisco
gave Lane 9637 ma ajority over Pardee.
San Joaquin County in 1902 gave Lane
a slight majority.
The assertion is made by Republican
leaders that Bell, running as the
straight-out opponent of Gfllett, with
Langdon out of the field, could not de-
velop voting strength equal to that
which went to Lane four years ago.
The State committee has not yet pre-
pared statement of the probable re-
suit in each county of the State, but
Republicans who have gone over the
field of conjecture with party leaders
from the interior submit the folio wing
as forecast:
