Kentucky Tobacco Raiders.

Paris. Ky.-Night riders made Their
appearance in force in the Burley dis.
trict late Monday night visiting two
towns and destroying two warehouse
and a big general store. The raiders
did not fire any shots in either place
but went about their work quietly
leaving as soon as their work had been
accomplished The men were all
masked and heavily armed and created
reign of terror among the citizens
Of the little villages.
The first visit was made to the
town OF Bethel, in Bath county, a vii.
lage OF about 500 Inhabitants, who's
people were entirely unprepared for
raid. The army marched into the
town shortly before midnight and those
who were aroused were told to so back
to their houses.
The mob went directly up the main
street OF the village and saturating
with oil the big independent tobacco
house OF A. r. Robinson. soon had il
mass of flames. AS soon as the
riders had left the village. persons
rushed to the fire and attempted to
put it out.
Before they succeeded, the general
store of Peters Bros, adjoining the
warehouse, was burning and all efforts
to save II were futile.
From Bethel, the raiders visited the
little town of Sherbourne. in Fleming
county. where they destroyed the in
dependent warehouse of Dousherty
Bros.
No shots were fired, but the raiders
In order to prevent any aid from being
summoned. cut all the telephone and
telegraph wires leading into both
places The loss caused by the raid is
not known, as the exact amount OF
tobacco in the warehouses could not

Admiral Brownson Rebuked.

washington- President Roosevelt's
attitude on the question OF the COM
uand OF hospital ships in the navy.
which resulted in the resignation OF
Rear Admiral willard H. Brownson
and incidentally some caustic observ-
atoms on that incident and the con.
troversies among the naval officers
and their adherents as to details OF
naval construction and methods Of
training, were made known Sunday
when Secretary Metcalf gave to the
press two letters from the President
addressed to him on these subjects.
In the first Of these letters Presi
dent Roosevelt condemns in unmeaN
ured terms the act of Admiral Brown
ron, declaring It to be unseemly and
improper. The question upon which
Admiral Brownson took issue with the
navy department the President de-
clares is one on which there can Be
entirely legitimate differences of opin.
IONS. but, he adds, there is no room
for differences of opinion as to the
gross improperly Of the admirale
conduct in resigning sooner than carry
out the orders of his superior officers
in such a matter. The officers of the
navy must remember that 1t is not
gree reprehensible, to permit either
personal pique, wounded vanity or fac
.ional feeling on behalf Of some par.
ticular bureau or organization to rem
der them disloyal to the interests Of
the navy and therefore to the country

Fred G. BonfiIs Fined.

Denver.-Magistrate Thomas Casion
fined Fred G. Bonfils OF the Denver
Post, $50 and costs for the assault
committed upon Senator Thomas M.
Patterson two weeks ago. But he
prefaced his judgment with some urg-
ent advice to the proprietors OF the
Post and News-Times to stop their
bitter personal quarreling through the
columns Of their papers.
In announcing judgment Justice Car
lon also gave Bonfils warning that in
case he was again found guilty of an
assault, as he is said to have threat.
ened. the punishment would be far diff
ferent. In fact. like that awarded to
any other violators of the peace upon
a second offense, namely, iai, sen.
tence. Mr.. Bonfils' attorney gave no.
tice OF an appeal, but it. is generally
thought that the case will not he
fought any farther.

Return from a Successful Hunt
ing Trip on North Shore
of Lake Superior.

The bow cannot possibly always
stand bent, nor can. human nature sub
sist without some form of adequate
recreation.
Sweet recreation barred" said the
| immortal Shakespeare what doth en-
| sue but moody and dull melancholy"
In it's last analysis what is recrea-
ton but an easing of wearied brain or
muscle by temporary but judicious
change of occupation.
To recreate strength, rest. To re-
create mind, repose. To recreate
cheerfulness, indulge the Imagination
in what Pope calls "the illusions of
hope"
And to ease and relieve those who
are wearied by the exaction of con-
slant employment turn life into a
holiday, repair to the ever green glades
of the north shore of Lake Superior,
commune with nature in her prestine
beauty, and incidentally appropriate
one or two Of those ruminant rangers
| with which the territory is said to
abound
A notable advantage of this form
Of recreation is, that on ones return
home he can entertain his friends by
the hour with all manner of manufac-
tured stories about wonderful sights,
thrilling experiences, deer slaughtered,
cartridges ia ken on the wing, etc.,
without his veracity being challenged,
or the inyincible resolution that could
have accomplished such great achieve
ment being questioned.

The boys tell. no improbable tales Of
their experience, and admit the posi-
bility of there being still some game
left on the north shore of Lake Su-
perior. but numerically speaking, they
insist that the aggregate is five deer
