FIELD NOTES.
What The Night Riders Are
Doing in Kentucky.

The Tobacco Association ware
house in Paducah caught fire Sunday
morning, but the blaze was cxtin-
guished without great loss. The
blaze is ascribed to accident. The
warehouse held 1000 hogsqeads of
tobacco.
Austin Howard, negro farmer,
has left McCracken county and trad
ed his farm there for Illinois proper
ty. He had been warned to leave
by night riders, and went, though
promised protection by the county
judge. -
The large new tobacco barn on the
farm of Alex Anderson, near Kidd
vile, Clark county, burned Monday
morning. The loss is 81, 500, insur-
ance $1,000 The fire was caused by
incendiaries. Several other barns
on the place were not molested and
tobacco beds in the neighborhood
being heavily guarded were not
bothered. The barn destroyed was
near the Montgomery county line,
and belonged to Representative j.
Will CLAW.

The barn of John Crit Story, a
farmer residing two miles from
Sharpe, Marshall county, was burn
ed, together with large amount of
feed and a calf. There had been no
fire about the barn and the origin is
a mystery. He is tobacco grower,
but has never received any threats.

The tobacco plant beds of ten
prominent farmers residing on the
Hardinsburg road in a radius of four
miles of Greensboro, have been thick
ly sown with grass seed and the
plants will probably be total loss.

CONGRESSIONAL
IN the SENATE

Washington, D. c., April 21.--
Calling attention to the Grand Army
button he wore on the lapel of his
coat and insisting that he had no
prejudice against Negro soldiers,
some of whom he claimed as COM
RAIDS, Senator Warner of Missouri,
in the senate today declared his
conviction that the town of Brown
vile, Texas, had been "shot up by
theNegro soldiers of the 25th In
fantry in 1906. Mr.. Warner quoted
extensively from the testimony TAX
en- in the Brownville case and pre-
sented an argument to sustain his
belief in the guilt of the Negro sold
iers.
Without concluding his remarks,
Mr.. Warner gave way fcS the naval
appropriation bill, which was read
in part. An amendment was adopt
ed making a 20 per cent increase
in the pay of officers apply to those
retired as well as on the active list.
In connection with the considera-
ton of the naval bill the senate en-
tered into long discussion of the
policy of sending the naval floatilla
around the world. This policy was
sharply criticized by Senator Bacon.
The senate adopted the conference
report on the Indian appropriation
bill.

Fixing q Photoarafter.

Senator Stone of Missouri once made
himself unpopular with a certain pho
tographer. The latter Individual ap-
peared at the senator's room at the
capitol and announced that he was
there to take picture. Stone expostu.
lated, but in vain. A few days later
the photographer again appeared and
presented the pictures and also a bill
for $40. Remembering how hopeless
was his argument against having the
picture taken, Senator Stone decided it
would be still more useless for him to
decline to pay for them. So he wrote a
check. After the mans name was on
the check he wrote the word "Photo-
CRATER"
When the man presented the check
at the senate disbursing Office for pay
ment, he was required to indorse the
check and write after his name, just
as it was written on the face OF the
check, the word Photographer St
Louis Republic.

A Lesson In Grammar.

"A Lesson In Grammar.
In q certain mountainous region the

Great Combinations Offer More Op-
portunities, Says Senator Nixon

To the Editor New York Times:
Two men were once discussing the
wealth of the AstOr family, largely
acquired through the enhancing value
of real estate in New York City, pur-
chased in the early days. One of
them said: ooh! well, there are no
such opportunities now in real estate
investments" And yet l know of a
young man living within the limits
of the Greater New York who, in the
last two years, has netted a profit of
approximately 800 per cent. on a real
estate investment in that city. This
is simply suggestive of conditions
which obtain in many localities. OPP
portunities exist if people have the
discernment to take advantage of
them.

Does anybody want this auto?"
The query propounded in obvious
disgust by a disheveled individual who
crawled from beneath a refractory
touring car brought forth a big laugh
from a crowd Of spectators in Maple
street last evening. Bolder than the
rest, John Girard said in a semi-apolo-
getic tone, I'll take it."
Well it's yours" was the response
of the owner, who damned his cap
tightly on his head and walked brisk
" away, taking with him the number
plate to conceal his identity. Girard,
who is a mechanic, with a little tin
kering, was able to run the big red
car to a garage.
