BOURBON CROPS.
Helped Considerably by Late
Rains Not All Saved
by AnV Means.

By talking to number of promi-
nent farmers yesterday we find that
while the late rains helped the crops in
Bourbon, yet they did not by any
means save all of them.
The wheat and corn crops are greatly
improved. Hemp is also doingwell. 1t
is also reported that number of fields
of late sown hemp are beginning to
come up.
The grass seed crop will be failure.
The two months drought damaged this
crop badly and while the rains might
have helped it some, they were too late
to make anything like a crop usually
raised in Bourbon. Then, too, the acre
age in this crop is short in Bourbon as
there was a large acreage of new
ground plowed up this season for hemp
and tobacco.
The farmers say they will probably
get in what was intended for tobacco,
although the plants have been small
and scarce.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
Singing by The Paris Choral So
ciety Simply Grand.

Elder Carey E. Morgan preached
very impressive baccalaureate sermon
to the graduates Of the Paris High
School at the Christian Church Sunday
evening. A large audience was in at
tendance not only listened attentivelo
to the sermon but to the delightful
music. The sermon was trimming over
with good and wholesome advice to the
young graduates, and at the same time
it was good for every person present.
If it is but needed and remembered by
members of the class it Will make each
of them noble and Christian men and
women through life.
The singing was in charge of the
Paris Choral Society, under the direc-
torship of DR.. Frank Fithian, and if it
were possible for them to have excel
ed over the music at the Conclave de-
votional exercises they did it on this
occasion. We do not believe this chorus
can be equaled in Kentucky, or in fact,
in many of the large cities of the
country

NOBLE GOES FREE
On Motion of Friends OF Murder
ed Sensational Step.

At Jackson, when the case of the
Commonwealth VS.. Jake Noble, etc.,
was called in the Circuit Court Judge
Redwine and Attorney Adams, repre-
senting the State, filed a petition and
motion for changed of venue, stating
that such condition of affairs existed
in Breathitt as precluded a probability
of the Commonwealth having a fair
trial of the case in that county. The
court, after hearing arguments, de-
cided that the case should not be trans
ferred.
Then followed the most sensational
step that has been taken in any of
these prosecutions. The Commonwealth
and the friends of the dead man imme-
diately moved that the case be dis
missed and filed away. The court, Of
course, sustained the motion, and Noble
walked out of the court house a free
man. Mr.. Holiday. the father of the
man who was killed, says that under
the conditions there it would have been
impossible to convict the Mobiles.

Paris Defeats MaySviIle.

In decidedly one-sided game of ball
Sunday afternoon Paris defeated the
Maysville team by a score of 16 to 2.
There were near 500 people present.
The visitors felded very well, but were
weak at the bat. Their pitching de-
partment was also out Of order, as the
Paris sluggers found them easy marks.
On next Sunday afternoon Paris will
line up against strong proposition,

will no doubt be one of the very best
games played here this season, as all
know the visitors rank with the strong

RETRIBUT|oN

On April 25th, Harry Ives, the
big bodied, big-hearted, big-brained
populistic-democratic-republican ed
itor of the St. Hillaire Spectator,
was married to charming Red
Lake, Falls girl.
According to reports his friends
captured him, stripped him of his
wedding raiment, and he had to be
married in a blue flannel shirt and
pair of ducking overalls. The
press of the state are all almost
unanimous in characterizing this
action as an outrage, and express
their sympathy for Harry. We
have a little sympathy for the bride,
but as she married Harry for him.

got her moneys worth. But fol-
Harry we have no sympathy. He
only got what was coming to him,
and he didn't get all that.
We hope the report is true, but
we are afraid it is not. The boys

let Harry off far too easy. They
ought to have led him to the altar
clad only in a breach clout, and
with the rest of his body painted
red.
|, For years Harry has been the
president of the St. Hillaire Bache-
lors Association, and the way he
has sneered and scoffed at men who
yielded to Cupid's darts was some
thing scandalous. There hasn't
been a man married in northern
Minnesota in the last decade but he
has jibed at and laughed at, and if
he was within reach played eon him
him some practical joke. He has
boasted vaingloriously of his i'm
munity to feminine charms, and
intimated over and over again that
man who permitted himself to be
led to Hymen's altar was weak
minded.
The stealing of the wedding
garments of such a backslider as
this was not an outrage. 1t was
the retributionest kind of retribu-
ton. When we heard about it
we went down to the basement of
our office, and standing before the

STYLES OF FIGHTING KNIVES

Many Varieties.
The early Californian gloried in
good bowie knife, and many were
beautifully wrought and elegantly
mounted. The chief requirement was
that the blade should be so tempered
as to be able to be driven through
three silver dollars at a stroke with
out dulling the point or turning the
edge. The poisoned, wavy bladed Ma
lay kris is the most deadly of all
knives, but it is the weapon of a
cowardly assassin. The native i'm
this weapon and leaves the carcass to
rot on the soft, porous iron. This
leaves poison of the most dangerous
kind. The Burmese dar is a heavy
bladed knife carried over the shoulder
when travelling to hack path
through the vines of jungle. The
Scotch "skein dun" is worn in the
guard. The heavy, Icing bladed "yata-
gan" of Northern India is stuck in the
girdle, as are the richly wrought, Ella
borately. inlaid fighting knives OF
Persia and Circassia. A fairly COM
plete collection would contain fully
two thousand different varieties and
would represent an investment of
many thousand dollars. The best col
lections are in the government
museums of Europe. the one in the
Tower Of London being the most COM
plete.

LIKE MANY OTHER PHENOMENA
Perfectly Reasonable Explanation of
Peculiar Happening.

One virtue of an uninteresting book
has been discovered by physician.
He says he tried to read dull novel
the other night, but soon found him
self turning over the pages hurriedly.
He claims that when he commenced
to read his library was uncomfortably
warm, but after rapidly turning about
hundred pages looking for bright
things he gradually became aware
that the room was getting cooler. Be-
ing, like most doctors, inclined to ex-
pertinent scientifically, he consulted
his thermometer and learned that
when he struck long historical pas
sages In the novel his lack Of interest
and skipping pages reduced the tenn
perature at an alarming rate. Just
as he felt sure he was getting con-
gestive chill he turned to throw the
book into the CRATE and saw. that his
fire had gone out.

1t has been estimated, and we

least afford it pay them.

FINS.

On another page our readers will
find correspondence between the
editor of the Herald and the
Secretary of the Faribault County
Agricultural Association. We
have no desire to weary our readers
with a constant reiteration of our
position on public questions but we
desire to state as a fnality:
That we believe that there should
be an inaneo7iate, scientific revision
of the tariff.
That the tariff on all Trust con
trolled commodities should be re-
moved or at least reduced so as to
permit outside competition.
That the tariff on all commodities
sold cheaper abroad than at home
shonld be reduced at least to the
extent of the difference between the
cheaper foreign and dearer home
price.
That lumber, print paper, paper
pulp and fish should at once be put
on the free list.
That the tariff on silks, diamonds,
fine cloths, champagnes and all
articles Of luxury should be
maintained and if the condition OF
the treasury demands it, be in.
creased.
That reciprocity is as much a
principle of republicanism as
protection.
That there are certain tariffs that
should be reduced or removed and
that when such action is taken if
We can secure concessions from
other countries by such reduction
it is wise craftsmanship to do so.
That reciprocity consists of
mutually of concessions and not
a mutually of bluffing.
That there should be national
law controlling trusts.
That railroads should receive a
fair percentage on capital actually
invested and nothing more.
These propositions the editor of
the Herald stands ready at all
times to maintain, by lecture,
through the columns of the press,
by joint discussion or in any way
that any party who denies the above
propositions desires to suggest.
But managers of county fairs and
other enterprises need not waste
any time in Arranging discussions
on the subject.
Our position is so automatically
correct and manifestly self evident
that no candidate for office will for
a moment dare to dispute it.
They may and will for reasons
that it is not necessary for us to
name, defeat them in halls of legis.
lation but in the talk they give the
public they will all stand for them.
If the public believes in the
propositions as set forth by us they
should only stand for candidates
whose records and professions both
square with the above statements.
If they do not they are not entitled
to a particle of sympathy if they
get it in the neck in the future az
they have for years past.
This is no bid for support as the
editor of the Herald is not a
candidate for anything, but it is
a plain statement of fact from a
man who has been there. The
citizens of Minnesota can take ou1
advice or leave it alone just as they
please. We will not bore the public
with further diatribes on this
subject. We have written "Finis''
and it stands.
