SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

A new way of boosting the quail
ties of goods has been found by a
clerk in local dry goods store. The
clerk has not been behind the coun-
ter long, and the multitude of rolls
of bright colored goods was a novelty
to him. Saturday woman entered
the store and the clerk was prompt
70 approach her and inquire what
article she desired. 1t was calico,
and back went the clerk to the coun-
ter. He pulled down all the rolls on
the shelves. and apparently the wo-
man was not pleased with the goods.
while the clerk was Just a trifie fret
ted at the approaching failure.
Finally the woman said: 81 like the
goods. but but my, how narrow it is"
The clerk was not TO be undone, and
quickly gathering his scattered wits
ne stammered: Well, l know, but
just feel how thick it is, or l mean
er-er, just look how long the goods
is"

BEWARE OR THB
BRIGHTS DISEASE

Troubles Are Danger Signals.

More people succumb each year 10

PROMINENT LAWYER DEAD.
Col. r. A. Burnett Dies at Cadiz-
Mrs. Terry Dead. t0r

Cadiz, KY, March 2.--Death laid a
heavy hand upon this town Sunday
night, two of its Oldest and most
Representative citizens being taken.
These we're Mrs. F. G. Terry and Col.
R. A. Burnett.
Colonel Burnett died about 5
O'Clock yesterday morning. He was
n years of age and had been falling
for some time. On a visit to Nash
Vile recently he contracted pneu-
monia and this caused his death. He
was q member of the Christian
church and an able lawyer, whose
reputation was known throughout
the state. He had represented the
county in the legislature and his dis
trict in the state sente.
Mrs. Terry died about $3.50 O'Clock

PRISON AND PROFIT.

II is claimed that the state prison
at Frankfort is run at a profit, and
tlhat the final accounts will show rev
enue OF $224,917.79, and disburse-
ments s176,S60.16 That is an odd
way to estimate the value and profit
of a penitentiary. What we want is
not an institution that will be self.
supporting, for the ultimate logic OF
such an argument would be that the
more criminals Kentucky can produce
the better of she will be; but an in
ptitution that makes better men OF
the unfortunate and criminal
classes. II that penitentiary makes
men worse, turns out wild beasts to
prey on society, though it made a
million dollars a year, ii would not
be profitable.

Hourly Innu, Of visitors.

Washington. March 2.-The ma
tional capital Is the Mecca toward
which the inaugural hosts are maxi
ing their pilgrimage. The advance
guard OF the throngs which quadrea-
nially visit Washington to witness
the induction into Office Of the new
president began yesterday In earnest.
Early yesterday the influx of those
who are to participate in the celeba-
ton began and late last night the
visitors had swelled the city's popula-
ton by many thousands.
From every point OF the compass.
every train and steamboat entering
Washington was burdened with hui

other organizations being repre-
sented.

swore he gave Carmack gun was
mistaken. Carmack borrowed 1t from
somebody else and the reporter didn't
know anything about 1t. We have
the testimony of John sharp and Gov
ernor Patterson that the Coopers
were merely seeking peace with their
weapons. And Patterson and Sharp
loved Carmack- II was no shallow
pretence of harmony. no mere truce,
the Coopers sought was lasting
peace-the kind of peace that white
men sought with the Indians.
Colonel Cooper was right in his
conjecture that Nashville wasn't big
enough to hold both him and Car
mack. Carmack's keen sense of hu-
NOR enabled him to see the point OF
the Joke the day before 1t was perpe-
trated. That Is what the efforts OF
the prosecution and the defense
would lead up to; but We have facts
before us. Carmack writes biting
editorials about Colonel Cooper.
Cooper sends him word he must stop
or take the consequences. Carmack
and Cooper and Cooper's son arm
themselves and meet on the streets
of Nashville. Carmack and young
Cooper fire and Carmack falls dead.
Governor Patterson and John Sharp
entered into no conspiracy with the
Coopers to exterminate Carmack; but
good friends will sometimes enter in
to a conspiracy with another to get
him out of trouble.

LExINGToNs LICENSE LAW.


Lexington, city with nearly dou-
BILE the ad valorem revenue of Padu-
cab, and the same municipal estab-
hshment to maintain. has adopted a
license ordinance. which,. with the
exception of making the saloon and
retail drug stores liquor license
lower, lays practically the same bur
den on licensed vacations. Retail
merchants with stock valued at more
than 81. 900 pay s25; Kinks pay 800;
professions $40: vehicles Sc to $25;
1aundries $50: pool and billiard rooms
$25 a table; theaters 5000; lumber
yards $50; groeers SIS; bucket shops
81 900, etc. There is more excuse
for high license in Paducah than in
Lexington, for Paducah's revenue
from ad valorem taxes does not meet
the demands OF the city. II is some
satisfaction to know that this is not
the most "burdensome city in the
state TO live in" The tax rate at
Owensboro is higher.

erected this spring by Mr.. 1. d. Will

HOUSE WORKS
In CONFUSION
Which Gave Evidence Of Con-
gress Drawing to Close.
Transacted Regardless of Stormy Ses-
sion-Senate PASSES Sundry
Civil Measure. Nl
BIG LOT OF BUSINESS

Washington, March 2.-Transact-
ing its business amid scenes of great
confusion in The house Monday gave
every evidence of the present con-
gress is drawing TO a close.
In his endeavor to maintain a
semblance of order the speaker was
constantly pounding with HIS gavel
and admonishing the members to
cease conversation.
After two hours of stormy debate
the so-called Appalachian and
White Mountain reserve forest re-
serve bill, amended so as to apply its
provision to all states, passed by a
narrow majority of ten. Measures
of this character had been before the
house in one shape or another for
many years, and today's action Wit
messed a partial contamination OF the
policy in connection with the consum-
nation of forests increasingly pressed
by its advocates.
By the terms of the bill national
forest reservation commission Is ere
ated for the purpose of acquiring by
purchase or condemnation lands
needed to promote or protect the
navigability of the streams on whose
watersheds they lie. The house bill
is substitute for that OF the senate
and the measure now will go to the
conference.
The final conference on the army,
naval and Notifications appropriation
bill agreed to and the measures will
now go TO the president for his sig
nature. In addition TO this vast
amount of miscellaneous business was
disposed of.
Resolutions designed as a conces-
sion to the so-called insurgents.
amending the rules so as to provide
one day each week for the call Of com
mittees gave rise to immediate dis
cussion and was adopted. 16S TO
|162.
After a short discussion the house
almost unanimously insisted on its
disagreement with the senate on the
amendment to the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriations bill
raising the salary of the president,
vice president, speaker and United
States judges and the bill for the
third time went to conference.
The house recessed until tomor-
row.
Washington, March 1.-The sundry
civil bill, appropriating s139 900 900
and the military academy bill carry
ing s2,541,00O, passed the senate to-
day.
Senator Bailey in calling attention
to communications from the heads of
departments, in response to the SEN
ate resolutions calling for papers and
Information, stated that such replies
received from the secretary of the
treasury, commerce and labor and
war and the navy had been sent "by
direction of the president" which he
declared was inferentially a denial
OF the right OF congress to demand
such Information without the inter-
vention of the president.
Presenting a resolution demand
ing that all such communications be
returned to the heads of depart
mcnts from whom they have been re-
ceived Bailey attempted to SECURE It's
passage, which was opposed on the
ground that an orderly way TO dis
pose OF a matter of such Importance
was by sending 1t to a committee.

AN INAUGURAL VISION.

stood in the fading twilight. for the
sweet spring day was dead.
And the purple curtains Of evening
had closed round her funeral bed,
The nights first glowing taper hung
low In the western sky.
The moon, a silver sickle. cleaned
in a star-sown field on high;
A burst of martial music came up
from the crowded street.
A cheer rolled up in quick reply to
the drums impatient beat,
And nearer thro' the moonlight came
the tread of marching feet.
II saw a banner float aloft---a nag of
stripes and stars-1Dv
Whose faded blue and stars ecApsed,
gave proof OF many wars.
The blood which heroes offered had
dyed its stripes of red,
Its white had graced the bridal feast
when Right and Freedom wed.
Its folds passed slowly onward ana
vanished from my sight.
but thro' the misty twilight fast
deepening into night
/ saw a spectral army pass, who
fought for God and Right.
4 heard the drums OF Lexington
meath smiling Northern skis.
1 saw the smoke OF battle from n
hundred affairs rise,
The lannon's deep-voiced chorus
Joined the bugle's stirring call,
And .England's hopes lay buried
meath Defeats eternal pail.
While thro' the gloom a new star
rose, a harbinger OF day.
And Freedoms light shone DER the
hills for exiles far away.
Showing a path across the sea, 20
where the harbor lay.
And then, It seemed, a cloud arose,
dimming that stars bright fame.
As DER, the sea, with fire and sword,
again the Lion came;
But the patriots children, rallying
round the flag their fathers bore,
Drove his legions back forever from
our lands imperiled shore.
Peace spread her snowy pinions DER
homes where hearts had bled,
The plowshare took the chorus up,
which long the sword had led,
The fields cleaned white with har-
vest, which once with blood ran
red.
And as I watched the phantoms pass.
again the sky grew dim,
As mournful in the distance rose a
woman's plaintive hymn.
A figure draped in widows robes and
bound with slavery's chain,
Wailing for sons and daughters she
would never see again.
When from the frowning sky above
the tempest's flaming hand
Struck of her chains of bondage.
drenched in blood a mourning land,
And paid the wage of ages with
sword and blood and brand.
But soon the tempest died away;
wars discord sank to rest,
The eobs and heartbreak changed 70
peace in every troubled breast.
The sky was bright with sunshine
the air was filed with song,
And the burden of its music floated
DER my spirit long.
From where Paclfc's waters KISS
thy sunny western shore
To where Atlantic's surges guard thy
coast with thunder roar,
union, Right and Liberty shall keep
thee, evermore."
