plicity in many murders, and a prom
inent figure in the feuds which have
disrupted Breathitt county for several
years, was shot and instantly killed
in his general store here yesterday
afternoon by his son, Beach Hargis.
His son fired five shots in rapid sue
cession at his father, who fell dead
while his clerks were waiting on Gus
toners. The exact cause of the MUIR
der has not been learned, but it is
supposed to have been the result of
differences which have existed between
the father and son for some time.
They are reported to have had a Sc
we're quarrel several nights aso, when
the father, il is alleged was cOmpell-
ed to resort to violence to restrain his
son.
Murderer Was Drunk.
Young Hargis came into the store
yesterday afternoon and was appar-
emily under the influence of liquor.
Judge Hargis, ii is said, reproved his
son for his drinking and quarrel re-
suited The son drew a revolver and
fired five shots. Four took effect, the
noted mountain character falling dead.
The clerks and customers in the store
rushed for the doors and fed in fright.
Young Hargis was arrested and placed
in Jail. He was raving maniac and
the officers were compelled to drag
him to the Jail.
Prominent Political Figure.
Judge Hargis has been for years a
prominent figure in Kentucky in po
litical and criminal circles. He has
figured in the courts and in the noun
tains for years on account of the mur
ders of DIR. Cox, Attorney Marcum anG
Jim Cockrill Hargis' political sway
was not opposed for years, but some
time ago Marcum mad the temerity t
oppose Hargis in law case. From
that time Marcum was a marked man
and the end was the killing of Marcun
in the doorway of the court house fiv
years ago. Hargis had been on tria
at various times for completely in tn
murder of James B. Marcum. Jim Cock
rill and DR.. Cox, but secured acquitta
on all the charges. He was recent
forced to pay judgment of $4,000 t
Mrs Marcum in connection with tn
death of her husband, verdict havin
been found against him in the circu
court at Winchester.
Name Connected with Feuds.
The Hargis-Cockrill feud, out {
which grew almost innumerable trai
edies, with which Hargis' name
linked. had its inception in a polite;
contest. Cockrill opposed Hargis
the polls. A bitter feeling resulte
and one day Ben Hargis, the young'
brother of Judge Hargis, met one
the Cockrill boys in a saloon, and du
ing the gun play, Cockrill killed Be
Hargis.
In the fall of 1902 came the fir
murder in the feud Dr. Cox, t

Lisbon, Feb. Tho body of King
Carlos was placed in the coffin yester-
day after which the queen mother,
Maria Pia, and Queen Amelie, his
wife, and Manuel, his son, were ad-

was then a painful and heart-rending
scene, for the two queens and the
young king broke down and wept bit
terly.
Taken Away mt Midnight.
1t was midnight when the body, in
its coffin, was solemnly transported
TO the royal chapel with all the doctors
and high officials and courtiers of the
palace in attendance AS the process
sion moved slowly along the priests
recited prayers for the dead. while
from afar could be heard the boom of
cannon on board the warships
Bells in Dirge.
When the final prayers were said
the palace and church bells broke out
in rythmatic and cadenced dirge
A similar ceremony marked the trans
fer of the body of the crown prince tc
the royal chapel. The face of the
young man was covered with the Por
tuguese flag to hide his wound.

KASPARILLA

THIS sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for world of
troubles" For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persstently
stimulating a healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is a
Strengthening tonic of the highest value.
If it fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

A Cooling Thought.

What makes one man warm makes
another cool. During the hottest week
last summer gentleman walked into
the country store to get his mail. An
old "darky" was sitting in the blazing
sun, in rocking chair, on the piazza
Of the store, looking "as comfortable
as chocolate Ice cream" The white
man sank into another chair and
famed himself with his limp handker-
chief.
"Well, Uncle Jeb," he said, 81 must
say that you seem pretty comfortable
How do you manage to keep so Oh a
day like this?'
"Massa," said the negro, ais think
in dat de sun what's maxim dis yere

watermillions in Georgia, an maxim

most cayn't keep from swallerin'.

home and asked if he couldn't have
some awfully thick shoes made Of real
cowhide.
Jimmy's parents were not well-to-do,
but according to their son they had
more delightful possessions than any
body else in town. There was the
cow. There was the tremendous man
gle in the shed that Jimmy was allowed
to operate when his mother was rushed
with work. There was the model ship
that Jimmy's uncle, who had been a
sailor, had carved with his own hands
and no other tool than a jack-knife.
No end of things. Jimmy had dog,
"He's just a cur" said Percy.
"He suits me-" said Jimmy. 81 bet
you he's smarter than any dog you
know. You ought to see him go after
rabbit He can do tricks, too. I'll
show you"
Anything that you've got Is all
right" said Percy, with intended sar-
casm
I'm lucky, that's all" said Jimmy,
simply. at just seems to come that
way.
"My father says folks that are al.
ways satisfied with everything don't
never get anywhere" said Percy.
That saying, by the way, made a
great impression on Percy He thought
of it often in after years as he shifted
about from one place to another
moved by a divine discomfort.
1t occurred to him when he, clerk
in bank, met Jimmy and found that
Jimmy felt not at all abused by fate
