REV. HOOKER
A MANIAC.
0wenSbOrO Minister Loses His
Mind and is Closely
Guarded.

The Courier Journal says: THE Rev.
j. d. Hooker, of Owensboro, the Pro-
hibition candidate tor Lieutenant Gov
ernor, is a raving maniac. He is being
closely guarded by eight men at his
home on East Fourth street, and Sat
urday morning he made a second at
tempt to end his life. He went to a
drug store and asked for a quantity of
morphine. The druggist refused to sell
him the drug, and he left the store and
took a seat on the ground in a vacant
lot. He was removed to his home to-
night and became violent.
"He thinks that he is Lazarus and
continues to call for water. His wife,
who is the mother of ten-months-old
baby, has sent all the other children
away from home.
1.-The first attempt that Rev. Mr..
Hooker made to end his life was at
Livermore shortly after the suicide of
former Mayor Barth, of Louisville.
When he read about the suicide he re-
marked to a friend that he would use
Barth's method to end his life. He be-
came i'll at Livermore. While alone he
drank the contents of a bottle of pow
erful medicine that had been left by
the attending physician.
1T was with difficulty that his life
was saved on that occasion. Mr.. Hook
er is well-known Baptist minister. He
will be removed to a sanitarium in the
morning."

FARMERS Are AGAINST
THE HUGE ROAD LOAN

Throughout thee ntire State send-
ment among the farmers is overwhelm-
ingly against the pernicious S5Ooooo
loan bill which certain interested
parties tried to jam through the House
and Senate at Dover a few days ago.
which effort was aborted by reason Of
the watchfulness and interest in the
peoples welfare manifested by some
of the lawmakers.
In order to test the sentiment in
New Castle county, a tour OF the farm
ers' markets was made on Saturday
by a reporter, and many representa-
tive farmers were asked to express
themselves on the measure. All ex-
pressed indignation that a bill so
manifestly unjust had been introduced
at Dover. and all declared themselves
as unalterably opposed to it. Some OF
the men stated that the measure would
last about as long as an icicle in a hot
sun if IL were put before the people
for their vote.
With no exceptions. the farmers all
declare emphatically in favor OF road
improvements. but not at the expense
Of an immense Indebtedness which
would take years to liquidate, and for
which the people would still be paying
long after the roads constructed by the
bond issue were worn out In other
words. the sentiment seemed to be to
build roads gradually and yap for them
as the work is done.
