CAPT UGHESIN CHARGE
Leaves For the South to
Remain Until After
April /.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 10.-Adj.
Gen. P. P. Johnston, who was APP
pointediby Gov. Wilson as Adjutant
General for the time being until he
could select some man from the
State Guard to serve permanently,
may not return to Kentucky after
his vacation in the South and it may
be necessary for Gov. Wilson to
name his permanent Adjutant Gen
eral by April l. Gen. Johnston is
expected back by April /.
Capt. w. H. Hughes has been de-
tailed by the War Department to
serve in, Kentucky for four years
and it WILL be his duty to put the
State Guard of Kentucky in first
class condition. Under an old law
the War Department is authorized
to assign to each State a retired
army officer whose duty shall be to
supervise the work of the guard and
put it in condition, on the footing of
the regular army. Kentucky had
never had such an officer assigned
here and Gov. Wilson applied for an
officer soon after he went into office.
Capt. Huges said that the State
Guard OF Kentucky would have to be
put on plane with the regular army
and that it would be his work to dc
this. He said he understood that the
guard was not in the best condition
and it would be his first work to gel
it into condition and then 10 put it on
the same footing as the regular army
service. He believes that his work
will require time, but believes that
it can be done and that Kentucky
can have one of the best guards in
the country.
With regard to the policy of the
department while he is in charge, on
the subject of the night riders, Capt.
Hughes said he would make no
changes and would not do any inves-
tigating himself. He said the inves-
tigation of the raids is in the hands
of the Fire Marshal, and he has
nothing to do with it until he asked
for troops.

CUMBERLAND
May Discontinue Telephone
Service at Fredonia.

News comes to this office, from
second hands, that the Cumberland
Telephone Co. may discontinue its
service at Fredonia, Crittenden coun-
ty, on account of damages sustained
by the night riders last Saturday
night. Our informant got it straight
that the Cumberland's service
at Fredonia did not pay before the
night riders depredations, but it did
not feel like taking out the service.
Since it's loss of $1,000 last Friday
night there is but little doubt that
the crippled service will be al
together abandoned.

On one occasion the Duke of Sutherland

travelling north. AT Edinburgh an Ameri-

At a small station another traveller, as

him cordially. The three talked amicably
until they reached Perth, where the last
arrived alighted. Seeing several footmen
respectfully approach the traveller, the
American turned to his companion, and
said, "Can you tell me who that gentle
was?' "Oh. yes answered the
duke, carelessly; that was the Duke of
Fife Indeed calculated the Ameri-
ran. 'It was very condescending Of him

agreed. Presently his grace reached the

To his great surprise the American
noticed that his late fellow traveller was
also met by a retinue of servants, and.
leaning out of the carriage window, he
asked the guard the name of the gentle
