LANGLEY To
INTRODUCE MEASURE
To Prohibit Shipment of
Liquor Into Local Option
Territory.

A Washington dispatch on Sum
day says: Representative Lang
ley, of Kentucky, will introduce
on Monday the interstate liquor
shipment bill prepared by the anti
saloon league of America to obvi-
ate the objection of the unconsti-
nationality urged against the Lit
tlefield bill.
The new measure provides for
the direct exercise of Congressional
power by itself prohibiting the
shipment or transportation of
liquor to any State or Territory
or District of the United States, or
part of the same, where such
shipment could not legally be
made within the same. 1t is de-
signed to protect both prohibition
States and dry territory within To-
cal option States.

SUIT SETTLED.
Mrs. MCCIintOCk Gets About
S65,000.

At Little Rock, Ark, the suit
by Mrs. John McClintock, of Lex
ington, to break the will of her
father, DR.. G. NJ. Taylor, has been
settled before the second trial be-
gan. BY the will she was to get
only $4,000, while the bulk of the
estate, estimated at 100000 or
more, went to his second wife (nee
Miss Julia Prewitt, of Fayette)
and her 2 children. Mrs. Nc
Clintock sued for 100000 and
obtained judgment. The case
went to Supreme Court and was
again approaching trial. Witness
es and attorneys had gathered at
Little Rock. A compromise was
effected by which the daughter is
to get S65, 900, after the cost of
the first trial and an allowance of
$3.50 to the Union Trust Co. as
Executor are paid.

Mother of Col. Henry [. Stone
Dies.

After an illness Of 4 weeks, Mrs.
Sally Stone died at the esidence of
her son, Henry l.. Stone. Louisville,
on Friday morning. She was al
most 90 years old, having been
born March ID, 1916, in Mont
gomery county, Ky. She was the
widow of Gen. Samuel Stone.
whom she married August 6, 1885.
He was born December 26, 1897,
near Boonesboro, but resided the
greater part of his life near
Sharpsburg, where his children
were born. In 1851 he removed
with his wife and six sons to Put
nam county, Ind. His death
occurred January H., 1873.
Mrs. Stones maiden name was
Sallie Lane, the youngest child of
Col. James Hardage Lane, who
emigrated in an early day from
Loudon county, Va, and built the
first dwelling house in Montgomery
county, Ky.
With the exception of about two
years, Mrs. Stone had made her
home since 1869, a period of forty
years, in the family of her son,
Henry l.. Stone. The latter and
DR.. Richard French Stone, of In
dianapolis, Ind, are her only sur
viving children.
Mrs. Stone retained her intellec-
tual vigor, literary taste and con-
versational powers to a remarkable
degree until her last illness.
She had been a faithful member
of the Christian Church for more
than seventy years.
The interment was i'm the family
lot at Greencastle, Ind, on Satur-
day afternoon.

SERIOUS INDICTMENT.
Open and notorious gambling at

Open and notorious gambling at
fairs, circuses, encampments and
other gatherings has been exploit
ed by the Leader without receiv-
ing the slightest attention from
the police force or sheriff's office
or the officers of the several courts.
so far as we have been able to
learn, and the grand jury well says
on this point:
After general inquiry we find
that gambling is going on in varl
Gus parts of the city and county to
an extent which would be impossi
BILE, as it seems to the grand jury.
if the officers of the law, in thei
various grades. were making a con
science of their oaths to perform
their duties, and the grand jury IS
forced to the conviction that in too
many cases office is sought fer the
supposed honor. and for the emol-
uments. rather than from high
sense of duty, regardless of Il e
fact that duties undischarged bring
dishonor rather than honor.
The grand jury gave the officers
of the law an awful jolt in the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
We learn also through the com
plant of citizens that houses of ill
fame are openly conducting their
nefarious business in heretofore
decent neighborhoods, in the inn
mediate vicinity of one of our
great institutions of learning, with
the full knowledge of everybody
familiar with those neighbOrhOOds,
except the officers of the law whose
sworn duty it, is to suppress them,
to the great injury and otfense Of
all decent people in the commu-
nity.-LeXington Leader, Jan. 30.
The above indicates serious
condition Of affairs. which every
patriotic citizen should regret.
These utterances do not come from
an editor who is Republican but
from the grand jury. When vice
and crime flourish and 90 unpun-
ishcd there is danger for our insti-
tutions.

MAKES GOOD, HEALTHY FLESH.
W. s. Lloyd Offers to Pay For
SdmOSe if it Fails.

Begin the use of Samose today.
and you will soon notice a gain in
good, healthy flesh. To all who
are thin, weak and run down, this
remarkable hesh-forming 70 o d
promises plump, rosy, r5rfcct
health, vigor and vitality.
Most people eat enough to be-
come fat; the trouble is not lack
of food, but lack of assimilative
power.
Samose mingles with the food
that is eaten, so that it is assimila-
ted by the blood, and builds up
pleasing plumpness and good,
healthy flesh. Those WHO use Sa-
most for week or ten days will
soon notice a gain in weight and
an improvement in general strength
and health.
Put good, solid flesh on your
bones, and you will be strong and
well. In no other way can this be
done than by the use of Samose.
1t gives plumpness and physical
grace to the thin and scrawny, and
will make you bright, rosy and
normally fat. 3O-34

BLIZZARD
Sweeps Over Large Part of North
and West.
LOW TfPERATURE IN THE SOUTH

\ blizzard of great intensity and
severity prevailed over Kentucky
from Friday noon till Sunday
morning, followed by calm but cold
weather. 1t swept the entire north
and far into the west. Heavy snow
drifts occurred and in some instan-
ces entire trains were buried. All
trains were delayed throughout the
country on account of blockades.
Especially in the northwest trains
on several roads have been discon-
tinued for several days. Telegraph
and telephone wires and poles were
down and travel and messages de-
layed.
In this county the snow drift has
been heavy. The Sharpsburg pike
on this and the other side of Judy
was closed. Mail did not pass on
Saturday. Rural routes through
entire county were closed on that
day. There was no preaching at
Somerset on Sunday. Rev. Cord,
the pastor, could not get through a
long and deep drift. The Their
mometer stood about zero, the
coolest, but the severity was in
tensified by sharp wind. Services
in our churches were SHINY at
tended or discontinued.
On Monday morning zero wealth
er prevailed but during the day
there was rise of "a, clear and
bright. There was slight melt
ing of heavy snow, and on Tuesday
the ground hog had "A fine chance
to see his shadow. On Tuesday at
/ o'clock there was a rise to $50 to
40.
As far south as Atlanta, GA, the
thermometer dropped to 10.

SHORTAGE OF GAS.

On Saturday and Sunday the
supply of natural gas in Lexington
was short. Hardware houses kept
open on Sunday selling stoves and
coal carts were running all day.
The cause of the shortage is said to
be that two of the four low pres
sure engines in the Menefee field
which supply gas to the six nigh
pressure engines, were not in
working condition and had not
been for some time. The demand
for gas has been unusually great
till Monday. No doubt the com
pany regrets the shortage and will
relieve the distress as soon as pos
sible.
So far as we have heard there
has been no serious shortage in Mt.
Sterling.
