BEYOND THE ROCKIES. !"
EldOTadO Comedy CUmpany's Opening
Play a Success.

An audience which packed the
Eldorado theatre from stage to
foyer greeted the Comedy Club last
Saturday night. The occasion was
the presentation of the melodrama
called Beyond The Rockies, and in
the opinion of all who enjoyed the
very clever performance it was
about the best work of the Club it
had ever done, The young amateurs
were letter perfect and the
hesitancy and stiffness which are
usually so much in evidence on
such occasions were happily absent,
1t is doubtful If any particular per-
former did better than any other
one. Some of the parts were more
taking" than others were, that's
all the difference. 1t was home
talent throughout, and none of it
has any reason to be ashmaed Of
any part of the performance. Be-
tween the first and second acts
Miss Kate Freese sang in her own
delightful way. There's Big Cry
Baby in the Moon. For those who
like to preserve mementoes of the
occasion the programme of the ev-
ening is presented.

the distributing and receiving point
for a large area Of country. The

New Vital Statistics Law.

Under the new vital statistics law
which goes into effect January J.,
1911, under which Billie Rife has
been appointed Registrar for Upper
and Lower Louisa voting precincts,
before body is buried the under
taker must procure burial or re-
mOyai permit. which shall be issued
only by the local registrar. This
permit can be obtained only when
a certificate Of death has been fill
ed out by a physician. and in the
event the person has died OF an
infectious or communicable disease,
as smallpox, cholera, diphtheria
scarlet fever or erysipelas, before a
burial permit is issued the body
must be so prepared for burial that
there Is no danger of a spread OF
the disease in the community. 1t is
also required by the new law that
every birth shall be reported by
the attending physician or midwife
under penalty OF a heavy fine for
failure.
The mistaken idea has gotten
afloat In the country that by the
provisions OF the new law that In
case of a death the head of the
family must come to Louisa OF
some other point to get a burial per
nit Such is not the case 1t Is
the duty Of the physician or midwife
to report all births, and Of the un-
dertaker to secure burial permits. fol
which no fee is collected by the
local registrar, his services being
paid for by the county after certifi.
cation by the State Board OF
Health To the. Fiscal Court, II is
also a mistake that all births and
deaths must be reported to the reg.
istrar at Louisa, The county is di.
yided into several registration dis,
triCts. Only births and deaths oc.
curing in Upper and Lower Louisa
precincts must be reported to the
registrar at Louisa. Sc we hope no
one will lose any sleep over the
matter, even II someone has misrep.
resented the matter in order to
prejudice the public mind against
the new law r.

CONTROVERSY
Between the Governor and the
Prison Commissioners.
LeandeT RisnGT. a PaTOled Johnson
County Man, Returned 10 the
Penitentiay al Frankfort.

When brought back to the peni-
tentiary on an order from the Pris-
on Commission reyoking his parole.
Leander Risner found another pa
role, issued this time by Gov. Will
son, waiting for him, and he was
released from custody, Gov. Wilson
issued the parole, which is the first
ever issued by Governor of Ken
tueky, he satd,pending an inyestiga-
ton of the alleged offense for
which the parole by the Prison Com
mission was revoked He said 1t
was not a pardon but was a parole,
and that he has the right to grant
parole. a.
Warden Mudd, Of the penitentiary,
treated the order from the Governor
as pardon, and says he will re-
fuse TO receive Risner again for
the offense for which he has served
a part Of his sentence. He was con-
ylcted in johnson county of man
slaughter and sentenced to the pen
itentiary for six years. Last Janu-
ary he was granted parole by the
Prison Commission. Recently the
Commission was informed that Ris-
ner had been indicted for attempt-
ing 10 take a prisoner away from
an officer on December Z, and the
Commission issued an order direct
ing that Risner be returned to the
penitentiary to complete his SEN
tence.
The warrant was served and Ris-
ner was taken to Frankfort. But
he did not stay long in prison. The
Governor had sent down before the
prisoner reached Frankfort an or
der letting him go.
The Governor says he wants to
see whether or not Risner should
have been returned to prison. The
case is likely TO attract much at
tention, as 1t may settle the right Of
the Governor TO grant conditional
pardons and paroles.
