NEWS NOTES.
Travelling Auditor.

Governor Blanchard is considerably
worried over the matter Of appoint
ing travelling auditor to check up
the books of the tax collectors of
the state, as provided by the measure
passed by the last special session of
the general assembly, and it is pos
asible that this appointment may not
bio made as soon ss expected. The
difficulty Lies in the fact that the
general assembly created . Job, and
then promptly forgot to make any
provision for the payment Of the sal
sary or the expenses Of the officials
appointed to the job. This the law
makers have done for the past sew
eral sessions. The omission in the
case of the travelling auditor is a
serious one, for the reason that the
travelling expenses Of the official will
amount to nice round sum. If the
salary only had been omitted there
would have been no difficulty, for the
reason that the official would get his
warrant cashed by the banks. as was
done by the members Of the state
board of liquidation and the judges
of the state last year, when the legis-
lature failed to make an appropria-
ton for them, but this cannot be done
in the case Of the travelling expenses
Of the travelling auditor. This fail
ure on the part of the general as
sembly may delay the appointment.

Bomb Wrecks Bank.

Kansas City, Jan. A concensus
of expert opinion tonight is that the
explosion in the beautiful marble
building Of the First National Bank
here was, caused by dynamite or
some other high explosive. A piece
Of pipe believed to have been part Of
q bomb, was found late today in the
wrecked basement.
A motive is lacking but the bank
officials and the police incline to the
belief that the explosion was either
The work Of a crank, or that a bomb
had been secreted in the basement by
would-be burglars for future use, and
had been touched off prematurely.
No arrests have been made, and the
police are without any definite clue
upon which to work. Joseph Pech, q
Hungarian carpenter of this city, one
Of the ten persons injured was taken
to the police station and questioned
by the police. No charge was pre-
ferred against him. He satisfied the
police that he had no connection with
the affair and soon released. Pech
said he was passing the building and
Was cut by flying glass.

Another Thaw Tragedy.

London.-The failure of an alliance
of the British nobility with an Amer

a sister Of Harry K. Thaw, whose Sec
ond trial for the murder Of Stamford

city, applied to the divorce court for
an annulment Of her marriage to the
Earl Of Yarmouth.
The court has ordered that the pro

Traffic on the Great Lakes.

various lake ports, totaled s,97O,74S
net tons, compared with 8,594,533 net
tons shipped during November, 1906.
and 7,4O2,114 net tons shipped dur

Illegal Coal Land Entries.

At the last cabinet meeting Of the
year 1907, the decision was reached
by the president and attorney gen.
eral Bonaparte that the government
will use every means in it's power to
bring about in the higher courts dis
approval Of the decision rendered in
Colorado by Judge Lewis that there
is no law against citizens agreeing
IN advance to purchase coal Or other
public lands tfat may be acquired
by others under what is known as
the dummy entry man system. At
torney General Bbnaparte said after
the cabinet meeting that it was for
tunate that congress last year passed
a law giving the government the right
to appeal in criminal cases, as un-
doubtedly the government would ap-
peal to its fullest extent against A
decision quashing indictments against
men charged with illegally acquiring
coal lands.

Three Saloons Close,

Forty-three liquor establishment;
remained open in Shreveport after
the first Of the year, indicating Ahat
the city will obtain $107 500 in rev.
enue from this source this year, a
decrease of about $4,000. Some OF
this may be made up by the opening
of new saloons later in the year.
Three Of the most notorious saloons
in St. Paul Bottom were forced to
close, one because the proprietor
could not obtain money to pay the
license, which remains at $4,000, and
the other two under pressure Of pub
Lie sentiment.

Petroleum IS Fuel.

Possibly the fact that California
produces great quantities Of petre-

favor the use Of that fuel in the navy
where it can be done benefcially.
Therefore, plans for the new torpedo
boat destroyers, about to be prepar-
ed, will probably include require
ment that they be designed for the
burning of oil. The fact that the
newest British boats Of this class,
which have attained the extraoriin-
arg speed Of forty miles an hour, are
oil-burners has influenced our navy
department in favor of the adoption
Of liquid fuel.

May Change Food Labels.

The Board of Food and Drug In-
spection has sent an important let
ter to each of the principal trade or
ganizations interested in the admin
istration Of the food and drugs act.
This relates to a change which il
proposed by the board. It has been
found that the public is inclined to
misinterpret the words "guaranteed
under the food and drugs act" which
are now carried on the labels used by
all firms which have a registered num-
Der under the act. There is no COM
plant of the action of the trade in
using these words, they having been
adopted from the regulations of the
board itself but experience has shown
that they are likely to be misleading
to consumers who are not well in
formed as to the Specification of the
impression. Most persons, it is be
lieved understand the words to mean
that the article on which they ap-
pear rs guaranteed by. the United
States government, to be good or pure
or made as represented, when what
is meant is merely that the original
manufacturer warrants the retailer
that he will assume all liability for
prosecution that may be based upon
alleged nonconformity with the pro-
visions Of the food and drugs act.
Tt is desired by the board to omit
from the labels the words "guas-
anteed under the food AMI drugs
act" leaving merely the words "ser-
ial No - The board, however,
is not inclined to take this step un-
til it has been ascertained what would
be the effect upon the trade and how
much loss of labels, ETC., would re-
suit therefrom.

Circuit Judge Sandrirge has wired
to the governor asking for the fire

son says:
''The Russelville raid was clearly
violation Of the promises made by
the manager of the association, in
that part of the state, and was made
to hinder the prosecution at Hopkins
vile, by intimidating the officials AMI
witnesses, but the only result will be
to add new crimes and new criminals.
and to make it harder for the tobacco
growers of the region ever to get liv-
ing prices for their tobacco; to fur
ther disgrace the state; inflict i'm
mense destruction Of values Of farms
and all property in that district. to
destroy the tobacco market there; to
opprsss and drive the people and ID
take away their liberties; to shake
their faith in the protection Of the
law, and to force capital and valua-
BILE immigration to shun Kentucky
and all this without the least hope or
chance to help the men who formed
these conspiracies.
It means the penitentiary for the
infamous men who formed this con-
spiraey and for many Of their dupes,
for though their associations number
thousands, law-abiding, law loving
people number hundreds Of thouxanis
and there can be no possible hope that
the Ku Kiux can govern Kentucky
and escape from punishment when as
it surely must come to pass in short
time, the full extent of the crime and
hurt is understood and the conscience,
duty and faith Of the people resume
control and restore the full and ire
sistable power of the peoples law.
Mean time, every power Of the Law
will be invoked to instantly suppress
disorders; who secretly conspired to
intimidate the people into obeying
mob rule.
"All these so-called-riders peace
full armies, whether night-riders ~
day riders, are simply taking into
their own hands the rule of our peo-
pie by mob law, and the generals
who figure as leaders will figure as
chief criminals, and all alike will be
found out and punished. The state
government will not hesitate nor re-
dent. Mob rule cannot stay in Ken
tucky, even though it strikes cow
ard-like in the dark, and runs and
hides. Presently the forces of the

quences will fall upon the heads OF
the men whose plots have brought
