REV. FATHER BREY
Doing Good Work at LewiSpOrt.
Will Build New Church.

The Lewisport correspondent of the
Clarion says: "Rev. c. Brey, Of
Cloverport, preached at the local
Catholic church Sunday, delivering an
excellent sermon. Rev. Brey is untir-
ing in his efforts to better the con-
dition of his church and as evidence
of what he accomplished we make
mention of the fact that only few
years ago the church was without a
pastor and remained locked the year
round, when now, there is service
regularly on 2nd Sunday of each
month. The church is in all respects
in a hourishing condition. The de-
nomination contemplates erecting in
the near future modern and up-to-
date house of worship. They will
more than likely use brick in the con.
struction of this new building"

STOLEN BOY BACK
IN PARENTS ARMS;
BIG RANSOM PAID.
Pretty Little Lad Walks Into
Hotel Rotunda Ia Cleveland,
According to Plan of His
CaptOrS.
NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 22.-Little
Willie Whitla, who has caused the
police Of the entire country endless
worry since he was kidnapped from
school in Sharon last Thursday, was
returned to his father at the Hollende n
Hotel here tonight at $50 O'Clock.
In compliance with the agreement
entered into between the kidnapped
bows father and an agent of the kid
napers here today, the boy was placed
ON a street car on the outskirts of the
CITY and started for the hotel shortly
after O'Clock.
Two boys, G. w. Ramsey and Ed
ward Mahoney, recognized the lad on
the car, and takin 6 him in charge, con-
Quoted him to his father, who was in
waiting accordingto the pre- arranged
plan which he had followed at the die
tation of the kidnapers.
The boy wandered about the hotel
lobby unannounced for several minutes
asking bell boys for his father before
the latter knew his son was in the big
foyer.
The moment that the anxious parent
heard that a strange boy was in the
hotel saunterirg in aimless fashion, he
rushed across the lobby, grasped him in
his arms and smothered his face with
kisses.
An attempt had been made to dis
yuise the lad. He wore pair of smok-
ed glasses and a large tan cap which
was pulled down over his ears, and the
father said it would have been difficult
to have recognized the boy in such a
garb had he met him on the street.
Willie is in perfect health He says
he has been we'll treated and ever since
his capture has been constantly indoors.
He believes he was taken from Sharon
to Warren and thence to New Castle,
Pa.

TO REDlSTRICT
BRECKENRIDGE.
Plan TO Enlarge The County Of
Hancock -CIOyerpOrt Citizens
Think They Are Being
Sighted.
WILL PETITION LEGISLATURE.


Cloverport, KY, March 20--When
the next legislature meets there will be
something doing when Hancock and
Breckenridge county lock horns in the
redistricting of the boundary lines be-
tween the two counties. a petition is
now being prepared to be circulated to
cut off a portion of Breckenridge
county and ado it on to Hancock
county. The line as mapped out will
start about ohe-half mile above the city
limits and runs in direct line to Vic
toria, in Hancock county.
The promoters are all Hancock
county people and they were agreeably
surprised to find the business people
in Cloverport would join in making
change.
Cloverport it is said, has been getting
the "cold shoulder" from the upper end
of the county and is displeased over the
treatment she has received.
Last spring the bridge that spans Tar
Fork creek was condemned by Brecken-
ridge county officials, the floor taken
up and travel for six months was cut off
from Cloverport, which meant loss of
several thousand dollars that come to
Cloverport merchants. The farmers
were forced to 90 to Hardinsburg or
travel ten miles around back water.
Two years ago three bridges above
Cloverport were wrecked in the flood and
while only few dollars were needed for
the repairs nothing was done all summer
and not until late in the fall were the
bridges remodeled. And now to cap it
all tee bridge that spans Clover creek,
that devides the town, now bears sign
condemned" and yet the city of Go
verport is the metropolis of Brecken-
county.
Over fifty tax payers were asked yes
terday as to how they would like a
change-and it was almost unanimous
for the proposed change. One man
expressed this way: ITO go to Hawes-
vile to court it costs seventy.five cents
for the round trip, and to Hardinsburg
it costs two dollars and twenty FIVE
cents, and the coolest or hottestdrive a
man ever took"
