City Weighman, John r.
Evans attended fiscal court at
Madisonville last week, and we
think we can express the thanks
! of the miners of this county who
sometimes drive out for recrea-
ton for the good influence he
yielded IN behalf of better coun-

direction has been taken and
may the good work continue.
Machinist M. Hanna, of this
place is now manufacturing one

Hanna has gained quite a repu

them.

he will soon be up again.

Gently when one of the Union

where the saloons got their

The miners at the Hughes
Jeljco Coal Co., mine struck
sometime ago. They were then
notified by the company that
their services would no longer
be required and were ordered to
vacate the company's houses,
which were needed for men who
would work. This they refused
to do. Suit was then entered
against them, and the circuit
court has decided, being justly
in favor of the operators or own
ers of the property.

recalled with more genuine delight than
those which bring back the scene Of

plate heaped hign with that greatest of
all attractions, fried bread

QUEEN OF SHEBA
LOVED KING SOLOMON

Mons Hagues LeRoux, the French
scholar, has translated the document on
which the Emperor or NegUs, MeneIik II
of Abyssinia. bases his claim to de-
scent from Solomon and the queen OF
Sheba- The French version, which has
now been translated into English under
the title. ''Magda, Queen Of Sheba." is
the first appearance Of the story in a
modern European language. The story
sets forth. as IL is stated in the 10th
chapter Of the First Book Of Kings. that
the queen visited Solomon The Abvs-
sinian story further narrates that Solo
mon fell in love with the queen, and
that their son. Bainelekhem doubtless

The book has the dignity and beauty
OF an Old Testament story, and deserves
high place among apOcryphal legends
Of Bible characters.
The history Of the manuscript from
which this translation is made is a TO-
nance in itself. After the battle OF
MagdaIa, in 1855 the English soldiers
penetrated the room where the Abys-
stnian emperor. FheOdOTUs. had commit

JAPANESE DOCTORS FEES.

In fact. no such thing as q doctors bill
