CURIOUS COWGOAT
Drops Dead From Heat Just
as 1t Reached the City.

A farmer from Trigg county ar
rived at the Suburbs of Hopkinsville
late Tuesday afternoon driving an
animal monstrosity, half COW and
half goat. When he reached the
plant Of the HopkinsvilIe Lumber
Co., on 18th street, the animal be-
came overheated and died in the
street. The owner was disconsolate,
as he was bringing it to the city to
sell it to the Hagenbeck show as a
side show freak.
1t was a male, black with white
spots, had hair like a COW, head
like goat, small short horns, weigh
ed about 400 pounds and stood a
little more than three feet high. 1t
was four years old and was in good
health and very fat when it was
started from home. The owner
said he lived IA miles from the city,
in the direction Of Cadiz.

l do not think it necessary to make
any explanation to my friends of the
recent mention of my name in the
newspapers in connection with that
of fictitious Indian girl.
But for the benefit of the too
readily incredulous, | will state that
l am a government clerk employed
in the Office of the special U. S. gen.
eral agent at Cheyenne Agency, S.
D., and am not married b an Indian
woman, or any other.
The whole affair is a joke perpe-
trated by one of my fellow clerks

THE BANDAeE SLIPPED OF.
Thereby Exposing a Ruse to Save the
Family Pride.

A Kansas City professional man,
who is prominently identified with
Missouri politics, tells the following
story on himself: my folks moved
from Indiana to Johnson county, Mis-
souri,, when 1 was six years of age.
We settled on farm near Holden.
The first Sunday we were there, and
while the family was preparing for
Sunday school, it was discovered that
did not have any shoes. My
mother, realizing that folks would
talk if one of her children made his
first public appearance barefooted,
suggested that have a cloth tied
around one foot TO create the impress
sion that I was unable to wear shoes
because of sore foot. So the rag
was tied on me. Everything went
along smoothly and learned all about
What's-his-name's bears eating the bad
children up, when heard a smoker
from a boy l afterwards licked. He
was pointing to my right foot. I
glanced downward The rag had
slipped on and my mothers ruse was
exposed"

TIMBER HAS MANY USES.
Value Of Standing Wood That Has
Been Through Flames.

The traveller who has wondered
why some use Is not made of the
timber that has been fire-killed all
over the country will be interested to
learn that the United States forest
service at the University of Washing
ton, Seattle, has discovered a means
of utilizing this timber, which in the
past has largely gone to waste. In
testing fire-killed timber-that is, tim
Der which had its bark destroyed by
fire not severe enough to entirely
consume the tree and which left it
standing-it was found to be thorough
ly sound and, to all intents and pur-
poses, thoroughly seasoned lumber. 1t
was determined that if such lumber is
cut within the first year after it is in
jured it can be used foI any purpose
for which the original wood is salts,
factory, but if allowed to stand the
timber checks so badly that it can
not be worked up to advantage 1t
has also been disclosed by investiga-
lions undertaken that good railroad
ties have been made from timber that
in some instances was killed so years
go.-Philadelphia Record.

The Parade Was a Mile

The circus and animal show yes
terday, of the Carl Hagenback and
Wallace Shows combined, brought
an old-time crowd to the city. The
crush was so great that all
rules for keeping walks clear
were suspended and it was hard to
get about even in the streets.
The parade was a mile or more in
length. A fine display OF animals
was given, as the cages were open to
view.
The crowds at both performances
were record-breakers.

Reform in the Departments.

work of great public Importance
which attracts less attention than it de-
serves, is that now being undertaken by
several Cabinet officers looking to in
creased efficiency in the executive depart
ments. The present administration, in
deed, has been characterized by a great
deal Of renovation in departmental meth
DDS. Mr.. Roosevelts well-known detesta-
ton of red tape and his Impotence with
bureaucratic ways of not doing things
promptly and efficiently have had bene-
fetal influence throughout the depart
mental service. The inquiries of the
Keep Commission, appointed by him,
brought to light a number Of methods
that should be bettered, and the recon-
mendations Of that body have been quite
generally adopted.
Secretary Root was among the first to
clear his department of the debris of
antiquated practices. He has been fol-
lowed by the Secretary OF Agriculture
OF the Treasury, of Commerce and Labor.
and of the Interior In the Treasury De-
partment an old system Of keeping ac-
counts. dating from the time Of Alexander
Hamilton, is about to be replaced with a
new and better system that viii enable
the Treasury to prevent defalcation and
at the same time keep the Secretary more
accurately informed Of the state of the
governmental revenues and expenditures.
Secretary Straus is overhauling the inn
migration and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS serv-
ices of his department, and much good
may be anticipated from the application
to these important branches OF his sound
business Judgment and large experience
with public affairs.
But it is in the Post-ofi1ce Department
that the greatest need is felt for the in
PRODUCTION of thorough business methods.
Fortunately. this department is in the
hands of a trained business man, who is
pledged TO put the department on bust
ness basis if possible. What the nature
Of his task is may be inferred from the
report of the postal commission which
found that by reason OF the traditional
methods Of accounting and bookkeeping
prevailing in the department It was i'm
possible TO obtain any accurate eonclu-
sions as to the cost of any branch of the
postal service. 1T may be doubted.

whether a private business enterprise.
whose expenditures amounted annually
to nearly 100000 coo, could successfully
remain in business without any means of
determining what was the true relation
borne to more than half Of its annual ex-
peaditure by the separate elements Of
business in which it was engaged" Of
like nature is the inability Of the depart

paying more than it should for mail con

money by carrying second-class mail at

A noteworthy symptom of the trend Of
popular sentiment is the widespread and
mainly favorable discussion of the So
called Galveston plan of municipal gov
eminent. the distinctive feature Of which
is the abolition of the representative form
OF city administration and the subsutu-
ton therefor Of "a centralized administra-
lion combining both executive and legisla-
tive functions, responsible directly 10 the
voters In short, a democratic, instead
of a republican or representative form of
government. The legislature of Iowa has
authorized cities having a population Of

plan at their option. and has added TO it

electorate. A simpler and more demo-
cratic method OF local government could
hardly be devised
Municipal reformers have for many years
advocated the Capitalization Of local
ills Of irresponsible city government, and
many recent city charters have given to
the mayor "a larger power over the ap-
pointment of his subordinates and the ad-
ministration of the various city depart
ments But none Of these charters has
gone so far as the Galveston and Iowa
plans in doing away with the old land
msrks OF municipal government The
city council, that popular assemblage
elected from the ranks of the people. and
supposed to be representative of their
interests. has been ruthlessly brushed
aside by the newer municipal legislation
as an incumbrance TO honest and efficient
government Experience has shown that
local legislative bodies are as often as
not unfaithful to the popular trust, cor
rupt in administration. and inefficient in
execution Where this has been found
to be true, popular opinion has not hest
tated to consign one of our most cherished
political institutions TO the limbo of the
outworn and the inutile.
One Of the most acute of our political
observers remarked some years ago that
democracies seemed to be getting tired
of the representative system That

silence as to Revision Is Ia Eject
Protection for the Trusts.
From the Louisville Courier.J0ulnal
Upon the tariff Mr. Roosevelt has been
consistently and conspicuously silent since
the time when the great trusts con
tributed TO the campaign fund used in his
canvass OF 1904 Various excuses have
been made for him by his friends in both
parties, but there remain the facts that
the Presidents policy OF silence has given
consent TO the Dingley law as it stands,
and that the Dingley law is the buiwark
OF strength behind which are iutTenched
the trusts that furnished the campaign
fund.
There has been a elarnor inside the Re
publican party as well as out Of it, for a
revision Of the Dingley law Republican
candidates made promises Of tariff reform
during the last campaign. and were
elected or defeated in accordance with
the measure of faith placed in their
promises by the voters. After the cleo
ton, the President remained as dumb as
the pr0Verbiai oyster. Finally, in re-
Spouse 10 a request from the tariff reform

mitted that he did not anticipate action
upon the tariff by the sixtieth Congress.
In other words. he viii not advocate it.

works of charity and good citizenship his
demise partakes of the nature of a real

Whatever may be the outcome, one re-
suit seems eertain-a greater respect for
the law and new understanding by
the roads, which, as typical corpora
tons, have so long practically known
no law but their own viii; that there
is a final power greater than they, and
that those that exercise it are not con-
fisoat0rs or anarchists, but are the sober
American people. The power is theirs
and not the railroads, and nothing ex-
lists in the land that IS not subordinate to
this power.
