In last weeks issue we stated that
S. R. Smythe had sold horse for 5000.
and bought one for $500. 1t should have
been r L. Smythe. Mr.. Smythe is a
oper of fine horses and he never sells a
lgood one without trying to buy better
one. Doubtless his last purchase will be
trained and exhibited at the fair.

left Columbia a short time ago, for the

Mr. P. C Watson, of Oberlin, Kan
sas, was in Columbia last Friday
Mr. Watson left the Cane Valley Sec
ton three years ago, and this is his
first visit to the old home. Like many
other good Kentuckians he still owes
the old State, but cannot be cOntented
with the slow business methods that
prevail. and has therefore become a
WeSterner.
One day last week while Mr. w. T.
Mcfarland was watering the horse he
had been working, another animal came
up and. the horse threw his head around
striking Mr.. Mcfarland with so much
force that he was knocked to the
ground in an unconcious condition. He
was carried to the house and soon re-
vived. While it was severe shock, yet
he was soon able to proceed as usual.

VICTORY FOR COLUMBIA
MarydaIe Nine Overmatched and
0utpIayed. y


News that The Marydale Base ball
team, of Louisville, would play the
Columbia team on last Friday and Sat-
urday on the grounds of The Lindsay
Wilson. According to that announce
ment the games were played and in
each instance a victory for our home
boys.
The result as given below was not so
much the fruit of the inability of the
visiting team as the hard earned and
justly merited reward of the good play
ing done by the Columbians. Never.
has Columbia had a nine that could
measure up with the ones who now
play. Every man to his post and every
one do his best is the motto and with
the skill, durability and cool deliberate
determination to win, it will take a
better team than has been on the
grounds for long time to turn the tide.
The fact is that every man nows his
work and is capable of doing it almost
to perfection.
1t is but just to state that Ewing
Suits is proving his ability to pitch a
ball that battles the best batters and
The Marydale crowd could hardly ever
touch them 1t is our opinion that he
will prove one of the great pitchers Of
the country. Below we give the re-

THE PRICE WALL STREET DEMANDS.

THAT Wall street and frenzied hnancers be-
lieye they have taught the country les
son in the drop Of the stock market and the
stringency OF money is evident from the state
ments of some Of their organs. One of the chief
exponcnts Of the views OF Wall street is Harper's
Weekly. This journal sees in the recent furry
a sharp rebulc to both President Roosevelt and
Colonel Bryan. Sanity, il believes, will return
to the country and a sensible man who will have
nothing more of the present ioolslmess will oc-
cupv the presidential chair after the-neNt election
If the result is in this fashion the Weekly does
not believe that-the year Of more or less depres-
sion will harm the country
1t win be remembered how indignant were the
financial magnates when Roosevelt and the adj
miuistraiion intimated that the stock furry was
caused by those high in the financial world who
were dispieased with the policies of the President
Their madness was So large and expansive that
they were unable 20 hnd words suitable TO eN-
press their feelings. And IL IS, perhaps interest,"
ing 10 note their conditions upon which financial
ncacc can be restored. As the Weekly hints,
both BRYAN and Roosevelt. or those standing for
their policies, are 20 be sent 10 the rear and some
sensible person chosen 90 the presidential chair,
in other words, the trusts. the commercial and
financial buccaneers are TO be given tull sway
with the old order of things restored. Railroads
and other corporations arc TO be manipulated for
the benefit of the insiders.
The yellow rich are to be unhampered in their
schemes Of financial exploitation Those who op-
pose this sort Of thing. who think that common
honesty and decency should prevail in the bus-
ness and commercial world. arc TO be threatened
with "hard times" and "pancs' unless they cease
their opposition. Basic conditions of the country,
good crops and apparent sound fundamentals Of
prosperity, are to count as nothing. The financial
barons and bourbons are to rule jails and pun
ishmeuts are not for them but for the little thief
under this delightful regime of plutocratic domi-
nation. This may be the view of the biased
minds of the circles of the yellow rich, but we do
not fancy that the country will again wear
the yoke OF financial corruption and plutocratic
plunder

MR. ALLEE As A REFoRMER.

IA N-SENATOR ALLEE is not hiding his light
- under a bushel, but it is shining forth in
Baltimore, where it is beholden by General Felix
Agnus and sundry other citizens of the MARYLAND
metropolis. Mr. Alice called upon General Agnus
and yesterday the American announced that his
lAllees) ndefatigable efforts aided by the votes
OF his friends, succeeded in making two of the
oounties-kent and Sussex-dry Mr. Alice 'be-
heves that he had with him in the fight the better
element IN the two counties" The American
then informs us that Mr. Alice is to start cru
sade in Delaware against the use Of money in
elections.
We fancy that General Agnus. or the reporter
TO whom he turned over Mr.. Alice laid it on too
heavy. as we do not believe Mr. Alice really
would assert that he and his friends carried Kent
county for the "drys" The vote there indicated
that great many people who do not nessle under
the wing OF the former senator, voted for prohi-
biton The credit for carrying the election for
prohibition IN the lower counties must be divided
among a large number. Doubtless the ex-senator
did his part as all the reports say he was work
ing Tor the "drys' in lively fashion about the
polls
The reference in the American article that Mr.
alice now proposes 10 start a crusade against
the use of money in Delaware elections is decid-
edy interesting. Mr.. Alice as an opponent of the
employment of money to influence votes will be
an imposing figure, and he can do valiant work
Tor the cause OF clean Delaware

one could. At least, ! have faith in
them. The whiskey habit is filthy

CUMBERSOME VOTING SYSTEM

HERE was considerable number OF re-

s'ow that no matter how simple the voting pro-

mutilate theif ballots The discarded ballots Al
this election call to mind the large number of re-
Jected votes at a regular election These rejected
ballots have never altered the result OF an election
as whole. although they have affected some dis
trcts. Is It wise, then, 10 continue cumbersome
voting system which results in many voters being
unable to express their preferences? The next
Legislature, among other things should seri-
ously consider the reformation of the ballot law.

booked to play here this season. there
is one from the pen Of Charles r.
Blaney. entitled His Terrible Secret
or THE Man Monkey" which had its
premier performance in New York
city last May with VIM. II. Turner in
the leading role OF "Melmoth." Con-
siderable press comment was given the
play in New York city. The subject
is rather a daring one. and no doubt
its appearance here will be greeted by
crowded houses at the Lyceum, Thurs.
day, Friday and Saturday this week.
In the role of Abraham Levinson
Nat Jerome appeared as the star OF
a new four-act comedy drama entitled
"The Money Lender and scored an
other hit with the patrons of the
Lyceum Theatre last night. The
money Lender will appear at the
Lyceum for an afternoon and night
performance to-day.
