Will Not Begin Sunday.

II was understood that a revival
was to begin at the Methodist church
next Sunday, but on account of the
great interest manifested in the meet
ing at Fulton, Rev. Klein feels like

Over 400 conversions are reported
to this date. and a few nights the
meeting has lasted until daylight.
Rev. Klein wires Rev. Waters to
be patient; that he will come just as
soon as possible. and in the mean
time to prepare for great meeting
He also urges the cooperation OF
ALL the churches of the city.

Had Narrow Escape.

The Peters Lee, a passenger
steamer Of the Lee Line. struck a
rock pear Jacksonville last week.
and II looked for awhile as though
she would be lost, while alongside
the mill race opposite Louisville.
10 speaking Of the accident. the
Times says "For few minutes. on
account of steam. which rolled from
the steamers engine room, II looked
as II the steamer was on FIRE. This
fear was of momentary duration, as
the steam came from the crafts
hosting machinery.
The accident was due 10 the
steamer swinging around 80 yards
above the Pennsylvania bridge. She
was hard aground, with a swift cur.
rent all around her.
Edward McDonough, a member
OF the life saving station crew, was
in the tower when he observed the
Peters Lee sudden stop and an in
slant later he saw a small cloud of
smoke float from the deck. Capt.
Devan Immediately dispatched two,
crews to the scene, and the men
reached the distressed boat thirty
minutes afterwards. Upon their ar
rival water was running over the
deck of the Peters Lee. Her wheel
was still turning.
In the meantime the harbor boat
Shawnee headed toward the Peters
Lee, but after reaching midstream
found the current too swift and for
her own safety was forced to de-
scend the falls"
The boat was built at Howard's
Ship Yards at Jacksonville in 1899.
1t is 220 feet in length. fourty-two
feet wide and has hold of six feet.
The Lee is one of the largest stern
wheel passenger steamers running to

A Beautiful Sentiment.

The following beautiful sentiments
from the pen Of Senator Bob Taylor {;
81 would rather fill my purse
with money and keep my happy girls
while they yet linger under my roof
than 10 clutch il with miser's hand
until all the harpstrings of youth
are broken and its music forever
fed. l would rather spend my last
nickle for bag Of striped marbles
to gladden. the hearts of my bare
foot boys than to deny them their
childish pleasures, and leave them
bags Of gold to quarrel over when !
die. ! abhor the pittiless hawk that
circles in the air only to swoop
down and strangle the song of the
lipnet, or bury its talons in the
dove despite the soulless man whose
greed for gold impels him to strangle
the laughter and song OF his own
family"

Skeptical on Tax Reform.

While advocating what he terms
true tax reform. when the burdens { (
taxation will be distributed equally
among all classes In Kentucky,
Editor Barrall, Of the Shepherdsville
News, does not expect much relief
from the labors Of the State Tax
Commission recently appointed. He
says;
The kind Of tax Law we need in
Kentucky is one that will reach all
to assess their property at something
like its real value.
AS a rule the poorer people assess
what little they have at something
like its real value, while the richer
ones dodge and hide all they can.
The commission appointed to draft
a new tax law is made up Of rich
men and stockholders in corporations
and the people will get nothing bene-
fetal from its labors.
When every dollars worth of
property In the State is assessed and
the owners are compelled to pay,
the tax rate will be much lower
than at present, everyone will be
helping to bear the burdens imposed
by law, and Kentucky will have an
ideal tax law.

Crap,Shooters in Tolls.

City and County officials made a
sneak on a negro craps game, be-
hind 81 Wiley's restaurant in Hick-
man, Saturday, and landed seven
dusky citizens. They we're arraigned
before Judge Naylor, Monday. and
plead guilty to trolling the bones"
and had fines Of $40 and costs asses
sed TO each. Eigh; quarts of gin
was also found in their possession,
which led Will Ferry to plead guilty
to bootlegging in two cases. He
was fined $40 and costs. Three OF
them-Will Toy. Lawrence Brown
and Henry crabb-paid their fines
The remainder we're given work
sentences on the roads.
Will Foy was evidently the win
ner. as he produced a $500 bill il

and the court was more or less EN-
barassed in making change.

Bound Over to Circuit Court.

Jas. Eaton, who two weeks ago
shot Walter Laid, at Fulton. caus-
ing Ladd's death, was given pre-
liminary hearing before Judge
Naylor. Friday, and bond fixed at
81 800 Being unable to fill the
bond. he was placed in the county
Jail, where he will await the May
term of Circuit Court,
"Red" Eaton, a brother OF
James, charged with "aiding and
abetting the crime" was released
after the preliminary hearing.
AS heretofore stated. the difficult
ty arose about the payment of a
road tax. Ladd, the deputy road
overseer, claims that Eaton failed to
pay the tax which is assessed to
those who do not work the road.
They had some words when Ladd
asked for the money, which culmi-
mated in Ladd's death at Fulton.

CASE IS DISMISSED
st. Louis Coffin Company
Lantz Case Settled Out
Of the Court.
LED TO CAMBRIDGE FIGHT

The case Of the st. Louis Coffin COM
pany. VS.. Thomas Lantz, on account,
has been ordered dismissed in the cir
curt court. Announcement was made
the case has been settled out of court.
1t was an argument over this claim Of
the coffin company against Lantz that
led to the argument between Alonzo
Feemster and Lantz at Cambridge
City, which precipitated the fight be-
tween Feemster and the Rev. Walters
Feemster, as attorney for the compa-
ny, sought to collect the claim against
Lantz. The latter protested. assert
ing the claim was unfair and among
other things took occasion to pay his
respects to Feemster unfavorably.
Feemster tried to put Lantz out of the
office of the loan company, where the
episode occurred, and when Walters
demonstrated, the fight ensued.
