ASHLAND DRY"
While Catlettsburg Elects to
Continue "Wet."
Three Local Option Elections
Were Held in Boyd Coun-
ty Monday.

Catlettsburg, KY, April 5.-Three
local option elections were held in
Boyd county to-day. One was to de-
eide whether or not the sale of in
toxicating liquors should be licensed
in the county at large; the other two
for the purpose of deciding the same
question with reference to the two
incorporated cities of Ashland and
Catlettsburg. Complete returns
have not been received from the
county, but the "drys" will proba'
bly, have a good majority as indicat-
ed by the result in the two cities and
the fact that the county is known to
be in favor Of no license.
This city, which is the county-seat,
gave majority of % votes for the
license, while Ashland, the larger
town, with a population of nearly
$4,000, went dry" by 107 votes.
Catlettsburg cast 975 votes against
license and 397 votes for license.
Ashland gave 918 for and 1,O25
against license.
The campaign has been one of the
hottest ever waged over a similar is
sue in any county in in the State.
Much bitter feeling has been engen-
dered, especially in Catlettsburg,
where the business men early in the
fight effected an almost impregnable
organization to work in the interest
of license, and by so doing invoked
upon themselves the combined as
saults of the speakers and workers
in the opposition. Had it not been
for the stand taken by this organiza
ton, which numbers perhaps half
the business men in town, the re-
suit probably would have been diff
ferent. But the business men with.
stood threats Of boycott coming all
the way from the head of the Big
Sandy Valley and all the pressure
that could be brought to bear from
other sources, and won by the very
sight majority Of %.
No acts Of violence occurred in eli
ther city, so far as reported, and the
battle, though strenuously fought,
was carried through with not sin.
gle casualty.
The usual tactics of the temper
ance forces were used with all the
effect possible, and the efforts of the
women and children had telling
weight. Prayer meetings, song SER
vices, etc were held continuously
throughout the day at all the voting
places, and the voter had to run the
gauntlet of entreaties from the wom-
en- when he made up his mind to
start for the polling place. 1t is un.
derstood the result will be allowed
to stand as it is with no contests by
the losers in either city.

Rebuke to the President.

The national House of Repre-.
sentatives resenting the insinua-
ton of the President that the
limitations put upon the appro-
priations for the Secret Service,
were due to that body's desire to
shield it's members from detect
i've supervision. The House has
passed resolutions, which are a
rebuke to the president, unpar-
alleled in American history:
Resolved, That the House, in
the exercise of it's constitutional
prerogatiye, declines to consider
any communication from any
source which is not in it's own
Judgment respectful; and, be it
further
Resolved, That the special
committee and the committee OF
the whole House on the state OF
the Union be discharged from
any consideration of so much OF
the Presidents annual message
as relates to the Secret Service
as is above set forth, and that
the said portion of the message
be laid on the table; and be it
further
, Resolved, That the message

ing man of that city, shed consid-
cradle light to the uninitiated
upon the point of the editor,
characterizing the modern news
paper as a huge camera pictur-
ing current events and stating it
is the editors duty to arrange

Mr.. Kaufman believes the
newspapers are the guardians of
the peoples welfare and says
IF it were not for the warnings
sounded to the people in the
press they would be unable to
guard against many pitfalls"
To those people prone to crit

the truth about life is impure
don't blame the editor. Go back
farther than that and cure the
condition. That is what the
editor wants you to do. He is
merely locating cesspools fol
you, so that you may avoid then
and also help to clean them out
If an editor finds a cesspool AM
does not expose it he is false t.

teur ball players spent this afternoon
at the ball park getting their first
workout. The diamond is not yet
in shape to be played upon but the
outfield is fairly dry and ready for
batting and fielding practice. The
preliminary work consists of batting
and throwing the ball around and in
doing some running in order to work
up the wind. Jack expects to be in
good shape when the rest of the men
get here April l and all the Islanders
who are in the city at present will

was TO gather the balls on the end rail
at the point where the line parallel to
the side rail met the end cushion with
the red ball frozen to the rail on the
outside of the line and the white oh
Ject ball quarter of an inch away
ana from a quarter to half inch from
the cushion. The cue ball Law outside
these and a trifle past the center of
either object ball. 1t was then car
romed from one ball to the other so
lightly that neither object ball was
moved and the balls apparently were
anchored in their positions. With
the balll line game solved with all its
restrictions it was decided to bar this
shot which is done in all champion
ship games of today. Inasmuch as it
admits of all the beauties of the game
derived from follows, draws and masse
shots, and leaves the possibility of
runs large enough to entertain without
becoming monotonous, il is the most
desirable game before the public to-
day, but it must be remembered that
Schaeffer solved it by shot that had
to be barred The genius which en-
ahled Schaeffer to solve all the games
as fast as they were adopted has
never been equaled by any other
player which fact stamps him as the
genius of billiards.
Maurice Vignaux, the French cham
| pion, is another who possessed quail,
ties that have not appeared in any of
the players of today. With his infal-
| hble stroke, his solidity of execution
and his brainy method of keeping COM
mand of the balls, he was the equal
of Schaeffer who had developed un-
! thought of speed but who lost his
nerve before the gigantic and stately
form of the great French master
Vignaux will pass into history i'm the
same class with wizard Schaeffer'
l. -, Ives Best of All.
"In the same generations with
Schaeffer and Vignaux, came the mas
ter of them all, a young man who had
! he lived longer would nave astonished
the world even more than he did In
/ 1892 there sprang into the champion
ship ranks, young athletic figure, in
the person of Frank Ives. This boy.
rightly named the Napoleon of biz
lizards, undoubtedly surpassed the
Ispeed of even the idols of the day
Schaeffer and Vignaux Born fighter
that he was, aggressive and tenna-
cious, and using his head all the time
to assist his marvellous accuracy in
execution, he proved beyond all doubt
that he was the greatest living billiard
list of his day and probably for all
time to come.
Another person who maintained a
premier position in the billiard world
is George F. Slossen. the student. BY
/ his studious application and method
ical play, he has managed at ali
, times to be q very dangerous oppo
! nent. His knowledge of the technical
points of the game has equaled if no,
,, surpassed that of any other player
By his attention to business and be
i ing of steady habits, he has outlived
the other great players of his day and
at the present time holds the world''
championship title.'

Illinois Thunderbolt Has Trouble
Landing, While He Is Severe
Iy Punished.

Los Angeles, March 20.-Iim
Flynn was given the decision over
Bill Papke in a 10-round fight here
last tonight.
Flynn was the aggressor in every
round but at no time did he have
Papke close to being out.
Flynn started the bout by getting
Papke's nose to bleeding in the first
round and the first three rounds
were Flynn's by wide margin but
after that Papke Strengthened out
and held his own until the final
round, when he seemed to weaken
In the seventh Flynn chased Papke
to the ropes repeatedly, but did not
succeed in reaching him with an eff
fcctive blow until just at the close of
the round, when he drove Papke
through the ropes and then fell
through himself.
Papke Lands Few BLOWS.
Flynn used his left to advantage
and stopped Papke's mad. rushes with
hard blows to face and wind, when
they got too strenuous. Papke had
trouble in landing any telling blows
at all.
In the eigth and ninth the pace
had Papke badly winded, but Flynn
could not land hard enough to put
the 'ThunderbOlt" to the mat.
The contest was witnessed by a
crowd of about 5000 people and the
decision was well received.
