journalistic muck to disclose how inevitably the news

Office.
When Mr. Newman came to Lincoln it was from St.

1t is hardly probable, however, that the business

A Good Show.

Lancaster was treated to something
this week which is rarity with them,
a real good circus. The Mighty Haag
Show" is the best attraction that has
visited this place in long time, and
very justly attracted large crowd,
A good crowd was out to see the
show unloaded, which showed their
keen anxiety to see good show.
The street parade was exceptionally
good and drew an immense crowd.
Many comments were heard on their
stock, it being above the average of
even much larger aggregations.
There has been added recently to the
list of animals with this show a baby
camel of the silver haired variety, the
little fellow was born in Elizabethtown
KY. April 9th 1911, and is only week
old now. This is the only animal of
this particular species ever born in cap
tivity, and it naturally will attract a
great deal of attention, not alone be-
cause of its rarity, but because of the
fact that it is a native of Hindostan,
one of the most superstitious countries
in the world, whose people are reluc-
tant to allow this species of camel to
pass to the hands of strangers, they
believing the animal to be an omen of
good luck.

SUITS Dismissed.

In the Franklin Circuit Court last
week, Judge Walker presiding as speci
al Judge, the cases of j. C. Cantrill
against John c. Noel and ]. C. Can
trill against the Kentucky Journal were
dismissed, a demurrer having been sus-
tanned in the Noel case because the de-
PENDANT in his answer said the alleged
false and malicious statements about
Cantrill were made in judicial proceed
ing, and therefore he was not liable for
the 5000 damages claimed by Can
trill. In the case against the Kentucky
Journal in its answer stated that it was
simply publishing judicial proceedings,
and therefore was not liable in damag-
es, and its contention was upheld by
the court.

. humanity's sake, and to save some one
from useless notoriety.

Secretary of the Treasury, Franklin
McVeagh, in an address before the Ac-
ademy of Social and Political Science in
Philadelphia bitterly censured the Civil
war pension list. He said that while it
was given rise to by worthy motive,
yet it had drifted into a political list,
and had lost all vestige of patriotism.
Secretary McVeagh warmly advocat-
es a system of pensioning old civil SER
vice employees of the government. He
believes that the old men and women
who have given the best part of their
lives to the government, even if the
service was of peaceful rather than a
military character should be cared for
in their old days, as well as the old sold
iers who were more strenuous in their
efforts.
Secretary McVeagh very wisely ad-
vocates the contributing system for
their pensioning, which if he could only
get the employees themselves to agree
to it, would prove solution of the pro-
blem.

Mr.. Johnson has made noble fight
for life, sick over two years, the last
few months of his life has been a hard
battle for existance, his physicians
giving him on several occasions only a
few hours to live, but his indomitable

Mr.. Johnson was a spectacular figure

After Judge Sanford had decided
several points in favor of the Coca
Cola people in Nashville last week. the
Government attorneys moved that the
case be dismissed, which was done.
The move for dismissal was made in
order that the Government might take
an appeal to the higher courts, and the
matter will in all probability be now
taken to the Federal Court of Appeals
in Cincinnati. Upward of $500, 900 has
already been spent in the hearing of
the case. The main contention of the
Government is that the preparation
contains caffeine.

H. H. Kohlsatt, Chicago editor,
when summoned before an investigat-
ing committee of the Illinois legislature
revealed the fact that 'slush fund.-
of 500, 900 was raised to elect William
E. Lorimer to the u. S. Senate from
Illinois. His assertion seem to be in
controvertible, as he is supported by
such men as Cyrus w. Mccormick,
president of the Harvester Trust and
others.
In view of the recent facts brought
to light in the matter, senator La
Toilette has introduced resolution in
the u. S. Senate to have that body re-
open the case, and in the event he is
successful and Lorimer is again tried
by that body, he will doubtless be GUST

Mr.. John M. Farra, of Lancaster
who has done great deal to bring his
town and section into the prominence
they deserve, was here yesterday to
meet some of the officials of the new
KentuckySecurities Company which is to
take over all the street car and interur-
ban lines in this section, in order to lay
before them the advantage that would
accrue both to the company and to the
section which would be served by ex-
tending the interurban line from Mich
olasvllle to Lancaster, and ultimately
to Stanford and Danville.
The road is already completed to
Nicholasville, and the distance from
there to Lancaster is some TWENTY-FIVE
miles through Country as rich as any
in the Safe. True the Kentucky river
would have to be crossed, but those
who have travelled the pike down the
gentle incline to the river on this side
will recall how easy other vehicles pass
over it, while on the other side is a
valley with moderate grade to Bryants-
vile, thence along comparatively lev
ell plateau to Lancaster.
The road will open up practically new
territory filled up with thrifty people
who are anxious, for an outlet. En-
route from Nicholasville to Lancaster
are a number of small towns. At
Camp Nelson there is large federal
cemetery near which town has sprung
up, while at Camp Nelson on the river
is one of the largest distilleries in the
country. The latter has to rely entire
ly on the river for transportation of it's
output and immense amount of supplies
necessary to run tho establishment.
Then there are Bryantsville, Camp Dick
Robinson and other smaller towns and
villages.
At present, although Lancaster is
but thirty-four miles from Lexington,
it requires a railroad ride of ninety
miles and many changes of trains to
reach here, besides consuming more
than three hours of time. 1t is really
easier for the people of that thriving
and progressive little city to go to Gin
cinnati to do their shopping which they
would be glad to do here if they could.
In order to obtain the road Mr.. Farra
tells us that the people of Lancaster
and Garrard county would contribute
literally to it's construction. From
what we know of the route and the
people it would serve, we are sure that
the Securities Company would find it
profitable to investigate. 1t could be
built cheaper than the line from Yer
sailles to Frankfort and wonld open up
just as desirable section. 1t would
undoubtedly be great thing for Lex
ington, while proving of inestimable
valus to Lancaster as we'll as Stanford,
which so far as reaching this part of
the State, is in the same condition as
Lancaster, besides proving a paying in
vestment both in passenger and freight
traffic. w. P. Walton In Lexington

The Danville warehouses have done

Garrard county is in a measure respon-

ct of their own and Danville being the
the nearest point, the business natur-
