no robin sing.
Though see no jeweied nashlng OF the
blue bird on the wing
I know that spring q here. though no
laughing leaves appear.
Though the snowhnkes scurry swiftly
through the chilly atmosphere;
Yet still IT'S spring. l know. though no
dandelions blow
And the meadows stin are sleeping meath
their covering Of snow.
I even know It's spring though no poets
rise and sing
In a Hoosier dialectic roundeiay made Of
"Bejngf"
No baliny southern breeze brings the
humming OF the bees
And no marvel-sweep OF blossoms bursts
upon the apple trees.
Yet ] know that spring has come. though
the frogs are sleeping. dumb
And the fingers that would play upon the
pipes OF Pan are numb.
But this symptom never falls-every
spring ones eye II halls.
SO I'll sing It's spring. although we're

Spring Is with US; spring Is here In the

Many wild, prophetic statements that

these things we're expressed on the

these occasions We have overlooked
the compliment to our literary taste

II our congressman will hustle along

some individual packages Of coffee.
not to mention early spring chickens.

FAMOUS ouNeoAT HERE.

The U. S. Gunboat Luzon passed

hundred people were on the river

from the Spanish by Admiral Dewey

The Luzon is a trim looking little
craft and seems to fairly bristle with

on that memorable day az Manila
when she managed to run the gsunt-

scuttled by her own captain.
When her commander saw that he

ED CALLAHAN DIES.
Noted Breathitt County
Feudist is Dead.

Ed Callahan, shot from ambush
last Thursday morning while working
in his store at Crockettsvnle, died
OF his wounds Saturday night AT the
Witherspoon Hospital in Breathitt
county.
Callahan was shot through the left
lung and at first it was thought he
would recover. the bail having pass
ed entirely through his body, and the
wound having drained well. Friday
pneumonia set in and he continued
10 grow worse.
Before his life went out, the famou
feudist made his viii and gave
statement OF his belief as to the J.
IDENTIFY OF his assassin to the MEM
beers of his family gathered about him.
The names he divulged to them, how
ever, are kept secret.
IL was a year ago last July that
Callahan was shot in a similar man
ner. That time he was about TO I'M
lock his store door when a volley
from the hillside across the branch
felled him in front of the door. The
last time the assassins fired through
a window as he stood reading a let
ter.
Bloodhounds failed to locate the as
sassins, although they were trailed
for several miles.
Callahan and his men killed his
neighbor and rival logman, James
peaton, twenty years ago, and ever
since that time he has been count
= the head of a faction. He joined
mes Hargis and was elected sheriff
the county at the time Hargis was
ected county judge.
Under the regime of these two men
ores of men were killed. Many men
BIO said they had been hired con-
ssed to various assassinations, alleg
g that Hargis and Callahan had
aid for the murders after planning
benz.
Hargis, after standing trial several
mes for various murders, was final
killed by his own son. Callahan
lad been tried for these same muir
ers, but had escaped conviction.

"ln the confession Of faith which
this dictator enunciated at Chicago
the other day, Is tacit admission
that both the Republican party and
his party are unable to cope with
thsEas;s. 1t Is sa Il that the time
has come when the government can
no longer prevent formation of
monopolies, aud that the utmost
that can be hoped or expected at
the hands Of the government is a
regulation thereof, which Roose.
welt says is the proper way to
handle them. The people will not
agree with Mr.. Roosevelt that this
great government of ours, when
properly administered, is not strong
er than the corporations, which are
but creatures of the law in the
several States. Mr. Roosevelt may
aimit his inability and the inability
Of his party, to make the formation
of trusts impossible, but the great
masses Of the common people will
never believe that the powers of
government have become impotent,
and that this nation is at the mercy
Of a few men who fix the price
which the consumers shall pay for
% per cent of the commodities of
everyday life. Will Mr.. Roosevelt
find anybody to agree with him?
Yes, and readily; the millions OF
Wall street, the agents of monopoly,
the servants of the trusts, all Of
these agree with HIM, that the prop
er remedy is by regulation, and not
by suppression.
"The very fact that such a man
as Perkins, of the Steel Trust,
whom Roosevelt, in public inter
view, quotes as favoring his plan
for handling the trusts, that very
fact will make the people fearful Of
the results of such policy, in view
of the further fact that seven eights
of the trusts now IN existence have
been organized during the last elev-
en- years Of Republican misrule, for
the first seven years Of which we
are responsible to Roosevelt himself.
The trusts do not fear the Colonel,
but the people do."-Extracts from
