The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1910-01-14

Twenty-Five bills were introduced in
the Kentucky Senate Tuesday. Among
the most important. of theseNis the Wy
att BoSwoth good roads BILL 1t was
offered in accordance with the amend
ment. 1t renovates the entire road
law and provides for a State Roads
Department, with a competent engi-
neer at the head. The Dill also pro-
videS for county engineers to be elect
ed by the Fiscal Court. The engineer
at the head of the State Roads Deplr :
ment is to receive salary of 81, 400.a
year. provided the bill a. at present
Il a ned is enacted, and county engineers
are to receive not less than $500 nor
more than $1,000 year.
The bill provides Tor special cleo
tons in each county to determine
whether special tax shall be levied
IN that county for good roads. Fifty
taxpayers of county may petition the
County Court to call an election on
the good roads proposition.
The bill provides State aid to the
extent of five cents on every 500 of
taxable property in the State, this aid
to be given each county in proportion
to the amount raised in that county for
good roads.
Senator Wyatt, one of the trainers
of the bill. when asked why it made
provision for State aid said: In nv
opinion and that of Mr.. Boswortb, it
would be unfair for the State to allow
the county to create an Indebtedness
to build roads, which indebtedness
would increase taxable valuations in
that county. Inasmuch as the State
would be the beneficiary to the extent
Of 80 cents on every increase of 500
in valuation, it seems to US that the
State should at least assist counties
building roads to the extent of five
cents On every.$100 to be given in pro-
p )rtlon to the amount raised by the
particular county,"

msr Bribery Story.

Chicago. John Broder1ck, state
senator. and Lee O'Neil Browne will
have to testify before the Lorimer In
Vestigating body without reserve.
The senate committee, after consid-
srtng the plea of Broderick that he be
allowed to testify generally without be-
ing compelled to give specific ans
wers to questions involving dates and
circumstances, decided unanimously to
reject it The senators held that
Broderick must testify without re-
serve, as he had not pleaded that his
constitutional rights were jeopardized.
Broderick's plea that specific testi-
mony would be unfair to him In view
Of the fact that he was to be tried In
Sangamon county on bribery charge
was held to be an inadequate reason
for his request.
The ruling also will apply to Lee
O'Neil Browne and Robert E. Wilson,
from whom Legislators Charles A.
White, H. J. G.. Beckemeyer and MI
chael Link declare thoy received
money after their votes for Loriper.
Aside from the Frederick decision
chief interest at the hearing centered
in the testimony of Mrs. Charles H.
Luke, widow of a legislator VII? is
said to have informed her of bribery
attempts in the legislature shortly be-
fore his death Mrs. Luke was so la
that the services of doctor were re-
quired while she was at the hearing.
Mrs. Luke admitted that she had
seen her husband in possession
of an unexplained $3.50 shortly after
the adjournment of the assembly
which elected Lorimer. Luke is al
legged to have confessed before his
death to H. v. Murray, now states at
torney of Chester county, that he was
bribed to vote for Lorimer.
Representative Henry Terrell of Col
chester, testified that Representative
John CriffiR of Chicago offered him di-
rect $1,000 to vote for Lorimer Ter
rell did not so vote.
Daniel d. Donahue Democratic rep
resentative from Bloomington, testi-
fed that he had heard talk about
money in connection with Senator
Lorimer's election and had been ap-
preached with requests to vote for
Lorimer, but he denied that he had
been offered any money to vote for
Lorimer or that he had been tempted
with brides of any sort.

The Cocoa Tree.

The cultivation of cocoa is at pres
emit an inviting agricultural pursuit in
Trinidad and parts of Venezuela. The
cocoa tree cannot withstand strong
sunshine, and the young plants have
to be shaded by banana or plaintain
trees, and later when they attain their
growth, by tall trees known as I'm
portals" or the mother of the cocoa. 4"
These make kind of canopy over the
entire plantation. The fruit of the
cocoa tree is a pod resembling a Gu.
cumber, and growing on the trunk or
large branches, where it looks as
though it were artificially attached.
The seeds are like large, thick lima
beans embedded in pulp. These form
the cocoa beans of commerce. The
processes of curing and drying re.
quire much attention.

REAL MEANING OF MYSTIC"
One of the Most Frequently Misusec
of Words-Its Probable Origin
Explained.

A jeweler in a small handicraft
shop held out heavy silver ring with
a Queerly engraved seal, saying: Il
can't explain the device to you. 1t is
made for a sea captain. He's friend
of mine, and the emblem is just mys-
tic to him" The very fact that a
word becomes so warped and common
means, at least, that a great many
people are becoming aware of new
matter. Something has swum into
their ken, and the word that stands
about the world. When one pauses tc
reflect upon the meaning of the word
mystic it is odd to note the base
uses TO which it has come. All the
minor poets write of mystic CLEANS"
and mystic glamours, mystic
sheens" and mystic clamors;" it's
use in the sense of magic is very
widespread But there are also small
railroad stations in out-of-the-way
spots that rejoice in the new word as
a designation. AS a matter of historic
fact, the noisy, ubiquitous word de-
rives from a Greek word which mean
shut. A mystic we, one who was be-
ing initiated int certain esoteric re-
ligious doctrines about which he must
keep his mt nth shut. Some conjec-
ture that the word referred rather to
the keeping of the eyes shut to all
sense Impressions in order that the
spiritual vision might be seen. Or it
might have referred to the fact that
until man as admitted to the mys-
teries, his eyes were shut to spiritual
truth. But in all probability the first
explanation is the true one, and the
word simply refers to The fact that
the profoundest experieT ces cannot be
impaired They dwell in the great
realm of silence, and are truest when
they are stillest.-Harper's Weekly.

The Ink Plant.

Ink of everyday life may be perhaps
described as of mixed animal, vegetable
and mineral origin. Sometimes, how.
ever, the juice of plant can be used
directly for writing This is the case
with the ink plant, which occurs in
South America and New Zealand.
The juice of the plant is red, but ii
becomes rapidly black on exposure
by civilization. 1t gives a permanent
stain on paper and can be used as ink
without further preparation All the
early documents in Spanish America
were written with the juice of the ink
plant.-Knowledge

OIL PRICES ARE CUT.
Reductions Are Made to Increase Use
In Foreign Lands.

in Foreign Lands.
New York;. T. G. Clarke, through
whom the Standard Oil company
makes its official announcements to
the public, has issued a statement to
the effect that the company has en-
tered on a thoroughly mapped out
campaign to increase the consumption
of kerosene in European countries and
the lands of the Orient. The FIRST
move i'll this campaign lie the reduc-
ton of the prices of oil in those coun-
tries Mr. Clarke's announcement says
in part:
1.-THE Standard Oil company has in
augurated a campaign to increase the
worlds consumption of refined oil.
The level of prices for refined oil to-
day in the United States is lower than
at any time during recent years, and
as a direct result of these prices the
consumption of refined oil in this
country is increasing. The same pol
icy is now being actively pursued
abroad"
AS indicated by this statement, the
Standard company began trying out
the policy of lower prices in the
United States, though without an
nouncing that it had in view cam
paign that would cover the world. In
August the price of refined oil in
tanks was reduced from 6h to 512
cents a gallon, and the price of re-
fined oil in barrels at the refinery was
cut 1 cent, from 9a to 81 cents o
gallon.
