LOCATING ENGINEER r.. e. HOL-
LENBECK IN THE CITY YES
UP THE RIVER.

Locating Engineer r. E. Hollen-
beck of the North Coast railway. was
in the city yesterday. His comp is
now located six miles below Malaga
and lines have been run up both
sides of the river and the survey is
very thorough, excellent grades and
curvature being secured. The engin-
eers are now looking for a place of
crossing and it is said that it is the
purpose of the North Coast to build
up the east side of the river, making
the crossing some place near Rock
Island and then build up the west
side of the river to Wenatchee. Whe-
ther it is the purpose of the North
Coast to build up the river from this
city is not known, but inasmuch as
there is a great deal of talk of
new boat line to be installed on the
river this fall it would indicate that
probably it is the purpose of the rail-
way company to make Wenatchee its
terminus and drain the upper coun-
try by means of boats for the next
few years.
Chief Engineer F. L. Pittman of
the North Coast company. will be
in the city in the course of few
days and it is possible that some fur
ther information may be had regard
ing the plans of the company in their
building operations.

stolen horse to man by the name
OF Davis at Mason Hall, in this
county. He arrived in the city
about o'clock and hitched the
horse and was buying a suit Of
clothes when taken into custody.
He is charged with similar ofenses
in several West Tennessee counties
and Southern Kentucky. Brown stole
horse and mortgaged the horse to
get a buggy, and then traded the
horse TO Davis and got $40 to boot.
1t Is thought he was preparing to
leave the State. He is in Jail.

Life of Jefferson Davis

Der thus speaks Of him. alt is but
simple justice to say that In ripe
scholarship, vide and accurate in
formation on all subjects coming be-
fore the body. native ability, readi-
ness as debater, true honor and
stainless character. Jefferson Davis
stood in the very first rank, and did
as much TO influence legislation and
leave his mark on the Senate and
country as any other who served in
his day"
The chief doctrine upon which Mr..
DAVIS based his political career was
the principle ofthe State sovereignty,
to which he strictly adhered all Of
his life. II has been repeatedly
charged that he caused the Civil
War and that he FASTENED the seces.
sion OF the Southern States. Nothing
could be 50 false ! Mr.. Davis was SO
reluctant 10 leave the Union, and
pleaded so long for some means by
which the South would not be forced
10 do so. that some Of his impatient
friends almost accused him OF dis.
loyalty TO his cause. The seces-
sion Of the South under the existing
was inevitable. This
is shown by a speech by Daniel
Webster at Capon Springs, Va. In
1851. Certainly this was some
time before the var. but in consider
alton Of the fact that the north did
not change her attitude toward fugi-
live slaves, the circumstances in this
respect we're the same, or worse, at
he beginning Of the war than a, the
above mentioned date. Mr.. Web.

say to you, gentlemen OF Virginia.
as ! said on the shores OF Lake Erie
and In the city OF Boston, so, may
say again, that you OF the South
have as much right TO receive fugi-
tive slaves as the North has to any
OF its rights and privileges Of navi-
cation and commerce. Again I
repeat that Jefferson Davis did not
wish the South to leave the Union.
The following words from his own
lips bear testimony 10 this 1.-THE
Union Is dear 10 rue as a Union OF
fraternal States. II would lose its
value II had TO regard II as a IN
ion held together by physical force.
! would be happy 10 know that every
State now felt that fraternity which
made this Union possible and IL
that evidence could 60 out. II evi
deuce satisfactory TO the people OF
the South could be giventhat feeling
existed in the hearts Of the Northern
people. you might burn your statute
books and We would cling to the IN
ION still.
We cannot give Justice to as great
a man in such limited time and
space. so shall end this feeble at
tempt by saying that no man could
have been more honest than Jeifer-
son Davis /; no man could have had
a more tender and sympathetic ma
ture no man could have stood forth
more boldly for that which he
thought was right. and no man
could have loved his country With
more patriotic devotion.
When the peopl. of future genera.
tons look back through the annals
Of history they will see the name of
Jefferson Davis among the first Of
the great men Of our country. For
up TO his death, which occurred
December 6, 1889, he was working
in the interests OF his State and coun-

II will not be necessary to get up
early to see the eclipse, for the
moon will keep right along with the

time that we see only little bright

how the moon can hide so much Of

question for the school boys to dis
cuss.

The Railroad Situation


The "Father of Waters" is slow
ly but surely undermining the
roadbed OF the N. c. & St. L. rail-
road along the north side of this city.
and II cannot be many weeks at
most before the company will be
compelled to abandon this track
thus cutting themselves off from the
depot and Old Hickman. Antici-
pating the worst, the railroad COM
pany has caused survey to be made
around the south part of town,
which is the only way they can reach
their West Hickman tracks and the
depot, and an effort is being made
to secure a right of-way.
Whether this will be done or not
remains to be seen.
An option has been secured on the
property covered by the survey at
figures as shown above. This option
expires this month. and owing to the
extreme high prices asked for some
of this properly, it is more than
likely the proposition to 60 around
will fail. II Il does, the result will
be that the trains will again be stop
ped in East Hickman, on the old de-
pot site.
The result of such a move by the
railroad as affecting the towns in
terests is at once apparent.
There's nothing in the argument
to the effect that the road can be
compelled to 60 to West Hickman.
Their charter, We understand, calls
The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1909-06-03

for the corporate limits of Hick-
man" only, and they will comply
with these conditions when thew
stop in East Hickman. So this "big
sticx" is merely straw.
So far as the business of our fac
tories is concerned, il might not be
sufficient inducemenf to cause them
to make an investment of SIS 900 to
take care of it. This particular
class OF freight is handled on a very
narrow margin, owing to river
competition. The passenger and
local freight business undoubtedly
pays the best dividend-and this
they will continue to hold regardless
of where they may locate the depot.
What they lose on this will be coun-
terbalanced by the saving of inter-
est on the investment of SIS 900 and
the permanent cost of maintenance,
mileage, etc. When figuring on
these propositions. the railroad
company always puts the tail in with
the hide.
Should the depot be located in
East Hickman. as intimated by the
management in personal letter to
a non-interested person of this city
because of excessive demands of the
property owners, ii will cripple our
business interests to a large extent.
It doesn't necessarily mean that our
factories would pull out-though
this is an, unknown quantity-be-
cause the Mengel Box Co. mas a
direct river route for their ship
ments. But in short, the town will feel
the effects of it in more ways than
one. 1t would not only be waste of
space. but superfuous to enten a
discussion of this point. Any think
ing man will foresee the manifold
disadvantages resulting from it.
Gen. H. A. Tyler. who is a rep
resentative citizen, always looking
after the towns interests, and at the
same time man experienced in cor
poration management, has been ask
ed by the railroad to assist in re-
moving the "straw that breaks the
cameps back" by soliciting some
concession in the price OF these OPP
tons. The figures above will show
that the price per acre asked for the
grounds in question is approximate
lY $500 per. Therefore it would
seem that the damage sustained is
four times greater than the value of
the land. The land could doubtless
be condemned and gotten for about
two-thirds less, but the road is dis
inclined to go into the courts with
the matter.
We want ii understood that we are
for our home folks-hrst, last and
all the time-but we believe the
city's interests are at stake and that
the matter should have the serious
consideration of its citizens II we
likely to lose the road from the BUSH
ness and factory districts. In this
case the old adage might be APP
propriately applied "a stitch in time
will save nine"

Is result of ball argument between
Arthur Luchesi and Walter Hopcraft
Sunday afternoon on Aultman street
Hopcraft was badly beaten by
Luchesi, while Judge Bragg's court
was crowded last night 10 hear about
it, From all accounts, Luchesi was
in a fighting frame of mind and was
not satisfied with telling Hoperaft
what he thought of him. Hoperaft
tried to get away but Luchesi went
after him and gave him a licking
from which he will be sometime re-
covering. While Lnchesi had Hop
craft down. Senator House tried TO
separate the men but some of
Luchesi's friends resented his inter
ference and pulled the senator away.
Constable Mclean arrested both
participants and " l.. Kelley and
Edgar Rhue. who had promised 10
pay Luchesis fine. The arrested
parties had their trial before Judge
Bragg last evening and plead guilty.
after A. j. Fesler had made a plea
in their behalf In passing sentence
the Judge gave the young men a
lecture which they will he liable TO
remember for a long time. II is
very evident from the remarks Of
the court. that when anybody comes
up before him charged with using
vulgar language. there will be stiff
sentence handed out. When a fine
of $40 was imposed upon each OF the
three, it almost resulted in a rough
house in the court room and had not
some of those present taken the adj
vice of City Attorney Zurich, it is
reasonable to expect that the Judge
would still be In the court room
