While the tragedy Is fresh IN mind,
let us resolve to permit no sentimental
list to come around five years from now
and work upon our sympathy for John
2, Cooper the Jealous man who stabbed
James Williams TO death over a young
rolored woman. Cooper's trial in Chit.
tenden county court was fair enough,
from all accounts, and the sentence Of
thirteen years, which Judge w. w, Miles
imposed on him yesterday, was none too
severe. So there is nothing to prevent

Trust Men Make Visit.

Il. B. Dula, of New York City,
one of the vice-presidents of the
American Tobacco Company, to
gether with K. X. Smith, of Lou
isville, State Manager of the Com
pany, recently paid a visit to Lex
ington and occasioned quite a
-futter among the members Of the
BurIey Tobacco Union and the
BJrleY Tobacco Society. A wild
rumor was circulated during the
stay of the Trusts representatives
in Lexington to the effect that
their visit was intended, by some
unknown means, to break up the
organization Of the growers.
Messrs. Dula and Smith declined
to make any statement as to the
object of their call, stating that
they were merely looking into the
general tobacco situation in Lex
ington and vicinity.

Grave Charges Against Two Lex
inQtOn Men.

Warrants were issued at Paris
last week for the arrest of Smith
Baker and Megibbon Kimbrough
two well-known young men of
Lexington, charging them with
OBTAINING a woman against her
will and attempted seduction.
The warrants were sent by regis
ter mail to Sheriff Dan Scott, of
Fayette county. The warrants
were the result of an escapade in
Paris, in which two men and two
reputable young women took part,
and which, when the facts became
known caused much Indignation
in Paris and resulted in the
warrants being sworn out by
William Remington, editor of the
Paris Democrat. The warrants
were made returnable before the
County Judge at Paris.
Wednesday afternoon about 500
O'Clock a young woman rushed
into the store of the Link Grocery
Company, in Paris, screaming:
For Gods sake, save me-" and
fell upon the floor in a faint
When she revived she stated that
she and girl companion had ac-
companied Baker and Kimbrough
to Paris on the 5 o'clock car from
Lexington, the men stating that
they would visit a picture show
and other amdsements. She said
that the men instead took them to
a disorderly house on Pearl street
and that. seeing what sort of place
it was she ran away to escape.
The girl was apparently not over
Is years old and was very much
frightened. Her hair was dis
heveled and her dress torn. At
this juncture her woman compan-
ion, who was about the same age.
joined her, but the men did not
appear. The girls asked to be
sent home. Securing a descrip-
ton of the men, Policeman Fred
Link arrested them and brought
them before the girls, who identi-
fed them, but begged that the
men be released as a trial would
make the matter public and cause
a scandal. They agreed if the
men were released to accompany
them home. The policeman grant
ed the girls fearful appeal, and
the girls and men returned to Lex
ington on the Z o'clock car.
When the circumstances became
known in Paris much excitement
was caused and MIR. Remington
swore out the warrants before
Police Judge E. B. January.

A JaiIer and his GaIlOws.

recently advertised gallows for
sale. 1t was good gallows, made
of steel and only slightly used.
The county never had much use
for it at any stage of the game,
though the oldest inhabitant has a
faint recollection that negro was
"ushered into eternity" bv means
of it at some period since the close
of the civil war. 1t has been re-
tanned, however. as a horrible ex-
ample to other colored persons of
Christian county which has what
most of the Kentucky counties re-
gard as a surplus. Now that the
State of Kentucky is threatening
to electrocute somebody at the
Eddyville penitentiary, steel glib
bets have been relegated to the
category of last years birds nests
and Christian county is willing to
sell her gallows at great reduc,
ton.
Most of the states in the Union
have abandoned the gallows habit,
and the only offer the jailer of
Christian County has had for the
instrument of death, comes from
college up il Michigan. The Coll
eye doesn't want to hang anybody,
although Michigan is not lacking
in frst-class hanging material. In
deed, there is room for suspicion
that the college folks are under
the impression that the jailer is
offering pair of suspenders for
sale as they write; I'VE wish to
place them on the College campus
as a relic of Good Old Kentucky"
However that may be, the Chris
tian county jailer is not without a
keen sense of the eternal fitness of
things, and he doesn't propose to
have them" gallows displayed as
souvenir of Kentucky. He has
written to the college to say that
he has some conscientious scroupl-
es against letting his death machine
be used for any such purpose, and
in the course of his letter he says:
1T is fact, that until recently
the barborus practice was employ
in this state in executing criminals
yet l am informed that we have
about kept pace with our sister
states in abclishing the practice,
and we are not anxious that the
youth of your great section be i'm
pressed with false notion of our
earlier citizenship. To say the
least of it, if you teach to them
the history of our nation, they will
know the founders of our civil in
situations were the nations build
ers and defenders, and the object
lesson on your campus would in
deed be contradictory and confus
ing"
Score one for good old Kentuc-
KY" She may have her faults,
but she doesn't look upon a gallows
as typicallv representative of her
civilization of the past or the pres.
ent and she doesn't think very
much Of the article as an ornament
for a college campus. Doubtless
there will he some disappointment
in Michigan at the failure to land
them" gallows as an educational
exhibit, but if the jailer's letter is
duly pondered the effort will not
have been all in vain. If the
mild rebuke is read and needed
some pinheaded individual con-
nected with the college aforesaid
will receive lesson more valuable
than any he is likely to find in the
cnrr;c,,l,,n, of bic ;net;tut;on
