WORDS OF CONTEMPLATION
FOR A NEW CITIZEN
Lincoln County Medical Society
Praises Mr.. w. K.
ShugarS.

The Interior Journal at Stanford,
has the following to say about Mr..
W. K. Shugars, who has purchased
an interest in the Martin Cook Drug
Co., in this city and is now one of
Winchester's citizens:
"The Lincoln County Medical So
ciety in session assembled, learning
with sincere regret that this society
is to be deprived Of the services of
one Of our best citizens and most eff
ficient pharmacists, therefore, be it
resolved
1st. That this society recommend
W. K. Shugars to the people where he
may choose to locate, as a gentleman
of the highest type, a citizen of the
broadcast views and pharmacist
skilled in the art of compromising the
most difficult prescriptions.
2nd. He never counter prescribes
or recommends proprietary or patent
medicines.
3rd. He never comments on or
criticises prescriptions by words or
looks.
4th. That is any clerical error be
discerned in a prescription, he most
suavely postpones filling the prescrip-
ton until the physician can be con-
suited and the prescription corrected.
5th. That a physician may rest
perfectly easy when in the hands of
Mr.. Shugars that he will be given a
square deal; that everything entrust-
ed to him will be given his most
painstaking care and supervision.
Lastly, We recommend that he re-
ceive a share of the patronage at the
hands of the physicians and the pub
lie.

PEACE BOND PLANNED
FOR BREATH|TT FIGHT
Solution of Problem Nay Be Reached
BY Circuit Court TAX
: ing Action.

JACKSON, KY, Jan. 21.-The sit
uation at the mouth Of Logg's Creek
seems to be a sort Of armed neutrality
either through fear of the law or of
each other, neither the Galatians nor
the Deaton factions are inclined to
begin hostilities. Since Mr.. Ed. Cal
lahan and his workmen were driven
away from the log RATS two days
ago bv the Deatons neither side has
deemed the logs a safe investment
and all parties have refrained from
going about them.
For several years there has been a
dispute over the ownership of the
land from which the logs were cut,
the man seemingly having the best IT,
tie was he who had the best guns.
From statements made by various
parties here today there is a move
ment on foot that will, when circuit
court eonvenes, probably result in
several leaders on both sides of
these turbulent houses being put un-
der heavy bonds to keep the peace.

S. B. TRACY HAS
OPENED OFFICES
Goes Into Real Estate Business and
Will Handle All Kinds of
Property.

S. B. Tracy, the genial City Clerk,
is opening real estate Offices In the
Hathaway building and is preparing
to handle all characters of property,
city or country. He will also rent
and collect rents. He has already
had large number of pieces listed

Mr.. Tracy has put out quite an
unique sign. He is familiarly known
all over the city and county as '1ke. ("
The sign is a large one reading &c

whether or not a man had an opinion
in the case, if he swore he could lay
it aside and render a verdict on the
evidence, he was a competent juror.
The state was forced to challenge
at least three men who qualified as
jurors, but who admitted their friend
ship for some Of the defendants and
who, in the opinion of the attorney
general, displayed too much eager
ness to serve in the case At least
twice during the examination 1t de-
veloped that some uniformed police
men had been canvassing prospective
jurors, and one talesman swore that
this policeman, after questioning him
carefully, said you had better be
careful how you serve up there"
The attorney general in his cues
tions put special stress upon whether
or not the talesman was opposed CON
scientiously to capital punishment.
One man who said he could neither
read nor write had not heard very
much Of the case and never had an
opinion, declared he was opposed to
hanging unless ga man needed it."
He was excused.
Every time that the states attor-
ney spoke of hanging the defend
ants" Colonel Cooper's daughter, a
tall, slender girl with a patrician face
and expressive brown eyes, showed
by her drawn, tense expression and
clinched hands that the question, with
It's grim suggestion of CHASTITY death
for her father and brother, sent the
iron deep into her soul. She sat
through the tedious hours, however,
next to her father, now and then
making whispered comments to the
attorneys. Two of the nieces of
Colonel Cooper joined the little CO.
terie that sat around the defendants.
None Of the relatives of ex-senator
Carmack were in court, but the widow
of the slain editor will be present
when the taking of testimony begins.

A Near Fatality.

Mrs. A. o. McColley. who lives near
Fauser's milk stand on the Panhandle
road, southeast of this place, is quite
seriously Ill as result of an acci-
dent which happened while she and
her 19-year-old son were driving to
their home from the Erie station on
Tuesday evening and which nearly re-
suited fatally for them both. They
were driving along Foote street from
the station and the evening being very
dark, they mistOok the side street and
went off the high bridge near Jerry
Feaser's home. The horse and buggy
were overturned and both the occu-
pants quite seriously hurt. the buggy
turning on top of them. Their cries
brought the assistance OF nearby resi-
dents and the injured woman was re-
moved to Gels hotel near the Erie sta
tion where her wounds were dressed
which were severe but not serious. The
horse came out of the accident with
out a scratch, which is remarkable
considering the nature Of the accident

ged in by the heels by the democrats.
And it is an even guess that they will
not do anything of the kind. for Gov
ernor Marshall and the element of the
party which stands with him are op-
posed to having 1t brought in. Wheth-
er they will be able to prevent 1t or
not. in the foce of the efforts of such
strong leaders as Tom Taggart and 9TH
ers. Is question, but before the time
comes around for the holding Of the
state convention it Is likely that the
governor will be able to convince a suf-
ficient number Of democrats that ii
would be unwise to say anything about
saloons or liquor legislation.
Leave 1t Out of Platform.
BY leaving the subject out of their
platform the republicans will be able
to hold their party strength, say some
of the republicans who are opposed to
an anti-nquor declaration. The liberal
republicans would see that the party
did not stand in favor OF more string
ent legislation until the demand comes
from the people, and the temperance
people would see that the party pro-
poses to stand on Its record and to up
hold the laws now on the statute books
This, it is pinted out. would be a happy
solution of the situation from the re.
publican standpoint
Another reason why a late convention
The Lake County times., 1909-11-12

is favored is that II would lessen the
expense Of the candidates In conducting
their campaign. 1t would cost less In
time and money TO run a campaign for
five months than for seven months. and
a campoign is expensive enough at the
best
Nothing is being said by the demo-
Gratis about the time for holding their
state copvention. Their time and at
tention just now is being devoted large
ly to the work of arranging for re-
organization of the state committee.
Little is being said even, about pos
sible candidates for state nominations.
Fight Red Hot.
In spite Of the stories OF peace in
the democrats ranks which have been
told recently there are indications that
the fight for the control of the state
committee is going merrily on, and
\ that it viii be a red hot one. The Tag
gart activity in that direction is seen
in many places, where, 1t is said, work
