Election Declared Void.

The Court of Appeals Of Kentucky
yesterday handed down its opinion in the
contested election cases from the city
of Louisville and Jefferson county, up
holding the contentious Of the fusionists
and declaring tie election void, thus
reversing the decision Of Judges Miller
and Kirby, of the Jefferson Circuit
Court. The court rules that Governor
Beckham has the power to fill the vscsn-
cies BY appointment, and an election for
all city and county officials is ordered
for next November.
The opinion deals in detail with election
outrages and the use Of the police at the poll
ing faces on registration and election days.
II decl res them to be as repulsive TO the citl;
zen as would be the use Of State troops, and
not to be tolerated in fu ture elections. The
campaign methods of both fusionists. and
democrats in the election are denounced, and
SO is the use of over 10000 campain fund
in the contest.

Brewster Was "a Dandy.

Benjamin Harris Brewster, one time
attorney general, was a most unique
character. According to his idea, he
was always faultlessly attired, and his
makeup once seen would never be for
gotten. He usually wore bell shaped
white silk high hat with long whiskers
on it, plated and frilled white shirt
front, with high standing collar, scar-
dinal necktie or scarf. buff -waistcoat,
maroon colored Prince Albert coat
with gold buttons, yellow trousers
patent leather shoes and soft frilled
cuffs. which matched his shirt front,
around his wrists. On the thumb Of
his left hand was an amethyst ring
encircled with perfectly matched dia-
monds and a bunch of old fashioned
seals in heavy gold settings dangled
from his watch fob. This was his
usual makeup when he attended to
business at his Office, which was in the
old Freedmen's bank building, OppO-
site the treasury department, or visit
ed the United States supreme court to
participate in cases which concerned
the government. His voice was pitch
ed in high key, and this popularity
was intensified by his sartorial getup,
which always made him conspicuous
at any gathering. Apparently he was
oblivious of the sensation which his
appearance almost invariably created.

The "PuII" and the Job.

Business men are constantly being
pestered by young men who seek posi-
tons through letters Of recommended
ton, often in the form Of personal re-
quests from fellow business men. One
may we'll question whether these let
ters have any great pulling power
after all. The Saturday Evening Post
tells of such an instance. After being
very politely dismissed by several
managers with the stereotyped express
sion that there was not vacancy at
present, the young man tore up the let
tiers and went back to the place last
visited
what can I do for you now?" the
manager asked in an annoyed tone.
Pardon me-" said the young man,
"but I've just torn up those letters.
Could you give me a job on my own
hOok?
The manager looked amused and
said: eve need young fellow to chip
castings in the machine shop at Sc a
week. If you like, you can have that

Ten Acres Enough

Many a man who has gone into bust
ness with the notion that he must have
an extensive plant In order to succeed
has found that he has undertaken too
much This was the experience of an
Arkansas farmer, who for many years
fitfully titled q farm of 200 acres with
out making at any time comfortable
living. At last he sold the land to five
italian families, who took forty acres
each. A northern traveller who passed
that way and was attracted by the
neatness and evident prosperity of the
small farms entered i@to conversation
with one of the propretors.
'.How much land have your he
asked
Forty acres" said the Italian.
"Is it all in tillage?"
mo. indeedv' exclaimed the farmer.
'Ten acres are all one man can attend
to. bought the rest for my sons"
Ten acres may seem like a small
farm to most Americans, but carefully
cultivated it produced for the Italian
more revenue than 200 had for the pre-
vious owner-Youth's Companion.

Queen Sophia and Bismarck

Queen Sophia of the Netherlands, the
first wife of King William I'LL Of HOl-
land, was too great a friend of En-
perOr Napoleon Ill., the Empress Eu-
genie and Of France generally to take
kindly to Bismarck. Before the big
war of 1870 and probably some time
after the Luxembourg squabble there
was an international exhibition in Am
sterdam, which the queen visited. She
was conducted over the whole place by
the committee, and as they came to a
certain section one of the members
said, 'Now your majesty will see the
greatest enemy of Germany" "Ah,
Bismarck she cried, with some glee.
The members stood aghast and never
repeated this rash exclamation. The
greatest enemy he had to exhibit
was not, of course, Bismarck at ALL
but only very much enlarged repro
duction of either the phylloxera or the
Colorado beetle, which at that time did
a great deal of harm to German agri-
culture-W' estminster Gazette.

GAINESVILLE

During the Is days of May Rock
county has paid out 1920 in bounties
on the heads of 1920 dead crows, about
SO per cent of them nestlings. Proctor
Clough of the town of GAINESVILLE brought
in 81 on May 2; Otto Anderson of
Spring Valley, 81 on May g.; Edward
Davies of Center, 2lO on May Is; Ralph

Fire of mysterious origin destroyed
dwelling house on A G Powers farm
in the town of Beloit at an early hour
Saturday morning and the occupants
just escaped with their lives. Those in
the house were Mr. Powers son, S B
Powers and his wife, who reside there,
and Mrs Dalee of GAINESVILLE, nee Miss
Agnes Higgins. They were awakened
by the blaze and left the burning struc-
ture with little more than their robes de
mutt. Some of the furniture in the for
ward rooms was saved, but all in the
back of the house and the building itself
were entirely destroyed. The loss is over
Sl70O and is partially met by insurance
amounting to $3.50.
In theinteresting biographical sketches
called forth by the election of Isaac
Stephenson of Marinette as junior u s
senator, the fact is chronicled that about
year of his eventful and picturesque
career was spent in Rock county, near
the city of GAINESVILLE. Mr. Stephenson
was fourteen years of age when he
moved from his birthplace near Freder
| ickton, New Brunswick, to Bangor
Maine. About year and half later
he came with Jefferson Sinclaire, as 6
member of the atter's family, and locat
ed in Milwaukee, Nov Is, 1916. He re
sumed his studies in the common schools
but year later he accompanied Sin
clair to ar undeveloped farm situated il
the town of La Prairie, five miles south
of GAINESVILLE. They attempted to raise
two crops of wheat which were failures
by reason of winter killing. Mr. Sinclai
having become financially interested
with Daniel Wells, Jr, in lands in north
ern Michigan beyond Escanaba, youns
! Stephenson transferred his labors t,
that section. where he drove six o,
team Yankee fashion with goad stick
hauled whole trees, and worked his wa,
to fortune in the lumber business.
