representing that he was from Tilla-
NOOK and had a sick wife. He then
took the train for Portland. By mis-
take Mr.. Smith dated his check,
which he gave In payment for the
steeds. June g." Hansen returned
the check TO Smith who rectifed the
mistake. Hansen then bought a
ticket 20 Norway.
AS soon as Mr.. Claggett learned
that Hansen had disappeared with
his team he Immediately notified
Sheriff Culver. who commenced a
dillgent search for the missing man.
In about two weeks the sheriff at
Lafayette telephoned 10 Mr.. Culver
that the horses had been sold TO
Smith and we're in his possession.
After every effort was made TO locate
Hansen the officers came TO the con
c.usion that he had used his ticket
and gone to Norway but the recent
arrest in New York would disproye
this theory.
Hansen's wife Is said 10 have been
married four times before she
pledged her love to the Norwegian.

ted the first day were summoned
and in one of them an Indictment
was returned. In the other the ac-
cused party was held over under
bond. Thus ended the first attempt
to investigate the Hopkinsville raid.

We publish today the substance of
a new law prohibiting newspapers
from sending papers through the
mails for periods longer than from
three months to one year after the
subscriptions are out. This will force
all papers upon a cash basis and
greatly reduce the lists of many
country papers. The Kentuckian

the cash system in its old age and
will have but little change to make
in its present methods of doing BUSH

= The Governors Message.

Governor Wilson's message was
sent to the legislature Tuesday.
After dwelling on the general pros
perity and business activity he con-
graduates the state and its bankers
on the excellent showing during the
financial stress. He says law and
order have prevailed for a greater
part of the year in the common
wealth which makes it all-the n ore
painful to speak of the renewal of
serious disorders and lawlessness in
parts of the commonwealth" " He
gives the history of the tobacco
troubles and the "night-riders" and
the peaceful armies. He says the
lawlessness has not benefited the
growers a particle, but has been of
incalculable harm to them and all
the state. He recommends a statute
providing that a circuit judge may
on his own motion and shall on re-
quest of the attorney general remove
a case from any county where the
lawless conditions prevent a fair
trial to some other county. The re-
districting Of the state on equitable
basis is urged. A draft of new
election law prepared by a commit
tee of the Louisville bar association
is submitted. He recommends non
partisan boards to have control of
the state institutions; urges that
election of judiciary be freed from
partisan influences; and recommends
publicity of all campaign expenses,
On the temperance question he says
| he is pledged to a uniform local CD.
| ton law with a county as a unit
While he does not believe prohibi
ton can be sustained in any large
city he says he will work for true
temperance. He suggests excise
boards for cities of first, second anC
third classes with graded licenses
and rigid laws. He recommend
more help for the attorney general
the repeal Of the dog tax law anC
reform of state tax laws. In conclu
sion he urges the crushing of tn,

II seems odd to characterize ru-
raj drama as thoroughly wholesome,
for that is supposed to be one of
their strong points. Yet when one
stops to think of it, most of them
have some disagreeable story of a
wronged girl who is wandering
around in the snow on wintry night
looking for her wedding certificate.
But in Quincy Adams Sawyer" re-
ports of which, from New York,
where it ran recently for many
weeks at the Academy of Music,
seem to indicate that it is the latest
and best of rural dramas. Critics
everywhere have sung its praises as
the purest, sweetest and most whole
some of rural dramas. And then too,
there is more comedy in it than 9TH
er plays of it's class. In fact it is
built largely on comedy lines. So
much so that one writer described
it as zone great big laugh from be-
ginning to end" The serious part
of it is the story of a blind country
girl. No small amount of credit for
the heartfelt sympathy that goes out
to the blind girl, Alice Pettengill, in
her deep affection, is said to be due
to the true and careful portrayal of
the part. The play comes here for
one night at Hollands Opera House,
Saturday, Jan. IS.

The Courier Journal is editorially
advocating a bill to increase the sala-
ries of circuit judges from $1,000 to
$4,000. There are So districts in the
State and all Of them are at present
supplied, many of the judges being
eminent lawyers who eagerly sought
their positions. In fact. the State
has never had any difficulty in get
ting high class men to fill these Off
ces at $4,000 a year. AS long as the
judges themselves are satisfied, why
put the State to an additional ex-
pense of $4,000 a year?
