BABY HAS DESPERATE
fight With A HEN.
Both Worn Out by The Conflict,
And Little Harm is
Done.

Paducah, KY, April 20.-Locked in
chicken coop with a setting hen,
Margaret, the two-year-old daughter
of S. S. Eaker, of Lincoln avenue and
Jones street, fought for her life two
hours while her mother and neighbors
were endeavoring to get to her rescue.
Not until the father was summoned
from work at the Illinois Central
shops was she taken out. Mr.. Eaker
keeps game chickens, and a small
opening at the bottom of the securely
locked door permits the chickens to
go in and out at will. The child
crawled through the hole and was
promptly attacked by setting hen.
Mrs. Eaker heard the struggle and
knew her daughter was inside, but
she could not even see the little one.
While the mother struggled to break
the lock, the noise of battle ceased
rand Mrs. Eaker became almost fran
tic. When the door was opened the
child was found asleep from exhaus-
ton in one corner and the hen con-
tentedly sitting in the other. Aside
from a few scratches on the face the
child is all right.

In MemOriam.

On March %, 1907, the death angel
visited the home of Moses Coots and
took from it the beloved wife and
mother, Rebecca Coots. She was IS
years old and had been a member of
the Methodist church at McKindrie
Chapel from youth.
Her entire life was living exempli-
fication of the Christian religion. She
trusted in whom she believed. Not a
single fear or doubt obscured her
spiritual horizon. She had been a
sufferer for 26 years from bronchial
trouble but bore her sufferings with
patience. While great sufferer she
always had a smile and a kind word
for every one. We feel that our loss
is Heavens gain. We sorrow not as
those who have no hope.

New Russian POeteSS.

There was distinguished gathering
the other day at at Stafford house,
London, TO hear NJ. G. de Wesselitsky
deliver lecture on a newly discovere
Russian poetess, who has been highly
praised, and for whom striking origin
ality is claimed. Nine. Grinewski is
the poetess. and, like many others,
she has fallen under the spell of the
east. One of her works is a poetic
drama recalling a well-known passage
in Sir Edwin Arnold's Light of Asia:
The tale of life is quickly told;
A bird pecks a worm from out the
mould,
\ cat eats the bird at break of day,
The cat in her turn is the yard dogs
prey.
The dog meets death in the gray wolf
den
That is the way of the world--what
then?
The wolf must serve for the lions
meal
A hunter hard on the lions heel
Sees him and kills him-then stark
and cold
In the clutch of death lies the hunter
bold.
Food is he for the worm in the
mould
The tale of life is quickly told.

The Evening Post says that the
President not only should name his
successor, but joins with the Presi-
dent in asserting that the present
Secretary of War, Mr.. Taft, is the one
man to succeed him. AS an abstract
proposition even the Evening Post is
entitled to its opinions, but when 1t
goes further and seeks to fasten them
on the Republican party In Kentucky
there is fair likelihood that the Re-
publicans may elect to do their own
thinking.
If the Post has its way, the next
Republican State Convention will COM
NIT itself unreservedly to Mr.. Taft.
If it does and Mr.. Taft fails to secure
the nomination because of Republican
opposition in other States, where will

MUST KEEP FISHHOOk
in HIS STOMACH.
Farmer Swallows Barb While
Fixing Tackle COMPLICATIONS
With Tum0r Soon Result.

Lexington, KY, April 19.-Lee Ad-
ans, a well known young farmer of
this county, who lives with his father,
Charles H. Adams, near Athens, was
in Lexington to-day to consult with
physicians with regard to having TAX
ing from his stomach a fish-hook
which he swallowed several days ago.
The latter part of last week Mr..
Adams bought package of fish hook
at store in Athens and took them
to his home to refit his tacle for a
days fishing. That night he got out
several old lines, and while he was
Adams bought a package of fish hooks
or a cork when needed, he held fish
hook in his mouth. While he had a
large hook in his mouth he was sud-
denly seized with fit of sneezing,a and
before he could remove the hook he
had swallowed it. Calling to his moth
er, he told her that he had swallowed
the hook, explaining that it was near
the roof of his mouth, and that he
could touch it with his finger. How
ever, as the end on which the little
spear is attached was foremost in his
throat, he was afraid ia attempt TO
pull it out, las he feared it would prob
ably catch in his throat.
A peculiar fact about the case is
that Mr.. Adams had been suffering for
some time from some trouble in the
stomach, presumably a tumor. The
hook has aggravated this and he is
now suffering much pain. The physi
clans whom he consulted to-day could
suggest no relief from his trouble, ex-
cept through a surgical operation. The
presence of the tumor, however, make
this quite dangerous, and the victim
of the accident is placed in the pecu-
liar position of having to keep the
fish hook in his stomach in order TO
save his life.
While he is now suffering great
pain, the physicians believe that the
hook may finally become encysted and
further suffering be prevented.

TAX ON RECTIFIED
LIQUOR TO Stand;
Kentucky Court OF Appeals SuS-

Special Session.

Frankfort, KY, April 19.-The Ken
lucky Court of Appeals to-day, the
full bench sitting and concurring, sus-
tanned the constitutionality of the leg
islative act of the special Assembly
session of 1906 placing a tax of one
and one-fourth cents per wine gallon
on recitified, blended, compounded and
adulterated spirits produced in the
State.
The court decidedly adversely every
contention of counsel for the blended
liquor interests, which side was pre-
scented to the court by United States
Senator Thomas H. Paynter and Will
liam NJ. Hough, of St. Louis. The vio-
lation of the Fourteenth amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States was urged before the court, and
upon this question the case will doubt
less go to the Supreme Court of the
United States for revision on writ of
error.
The opinion of the court, written by
Justice Hobson, is explicit upon every
point raised. 1t holds that the tax is
one of license, rather than property
tax, and that the tax is upon the
completed product and not upon the
constituent parts.
1t was urged for the rectifiers that
the tax, under the provisions of the
law, was only upon spirits produced
from single stamp spirits. The court
says that it means rectified liquor in
whatever way produced. A number of
questions of violation of the Con-
stitution of the State raised in the
case are disposed of adversely to those
attacking the constitutionality of the

Lineville Mystery Solved.

Mr.. S. G.. Massie, of Hopkins, Mo-,
came to Lineville yesterday and in COM
pany with Robert Hursey and others,
went to the Yingling graveyard west of
town and eNhumed the body of the boy
who died at ,Griswold, Iowa, Jan. 10th
and was brought here and buried by
Robt. Hursey as his son Orville. Mr..
Massie recognized the purse, memoran-
dun book and clothing found on the boy
at the time of his death at Griswold as
belonging to his son and was positive OF
the identity before deciding to eXhume
the body. After the remains were eX-
amined by him there was no longer a
doubt that they were those of his
son who left home last September. Mr.
Massie had spent some time in searching
for his son through Central and Northern
Iowa without avail and seeing an ac.
count in the papers Of the burial of al
unknown boy at Lineville he addressed
a letter to MIR. Hursey at this place ano
subsequent correspondence led him to
believe that the boy buried here was
his son and his visit and investigation
proved his surmise to be true.

ELSEY WILL HAVE A NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court Has Reversed the
Decision in the Case.

Hubbell Brothers, attorney for Dan
Elsey, ex-city marshal of Lineville,
received telegram Tuesday from JEFF
ferson City stating that the supreme
Court had reversed the decision of the
Mercer County Circuit Court in the
Elsey case and had remanded it back
for new trial. 1t will be remembered
that Dan Elsey on Sept. "a, 1904, shot
and killed one William Wallace at Line
vile, as the defendant and his attorneys
claim ia self defense, and on being tried
in the circuit court of Mercer county
was sentenced to two years in the peni-

Supreme Court where Attorney General
Hadley represented the state in the
argument of the case. Hubbell Brothers
are naturally elated over the decision
for a reversal and new trial.-Trenton
