Third Man Murdered By Wife In Central
Kentucky In Last Three Weeks.

The murder of their husband by wives
is becoming common in Central KY,
three such deeds having been committed
in the last three weeks. The third oc-
cured in Danville on Beatty street on
last Friday night about II o'clock when
Mrs. Helen Williams Lane aged so shot
and killed her husband Charles Lane
aged 65, an engine Inspector for the Q.
& G. railroad company. The crime is
shrouded in mystery and Mrs. Lane has
as yet refused to assign a reason for
the crime or to shed any light upon the
facts leading up to it. There is said to
have been one eye witness to the deed
but he has not yet been unprecedented.
Mrs. Lanes home is at Flat Rock be-
low Somerset and her husband came
from Cincinnati where his remains
were taken for interment. The muir
dered man was for fifteen years an en-
gineer for the Q. & C. and lived in
Somerset. Mrs. Lane was placed in Jail
and has engaged Hon. w. j. Price to
defend her.

The Records great Piano Contest
closed promptly at O'Clock on Monday

during the last few days that it was not
until ten o'clock on Monday night that
the judges finished their count and an
nounced the winner. Miss Mae Powell
received LIST, las votes and was declar-
ed the winner of the handsome piano
which has been on exhibition at Browns
store and for which the several young
ladies made such heroic efforts. Miss
Powell's victory however, was by no
means walk over, for Miss Mary
Eliza Holtzclaw was too close behind
her for comfort, she polling LOO, 1892
votes during the last few days, and es-
pecially during the closing hours of the
last day the contest waxed exceedingly
warm, the two leading contestants and
their friends exerting every effort in
their power to secure votes for their
respective candidates. Notwithstand-
ing the extreme heat of the campaign,
the rivalry was at all times a friendly
one, and all hands maintained their
good humor. The young ladies demon
strated the fact that they are some
politicians and few could resist their
opportunities as is evidenced by the
immense number of votes polled in the.
closing hours.

President-to-be Woodrow Wilson is
attracting as large crowds on his speak
ing tours as do some of the has-beens
who are engaged in seeking to succeed
themselves. His manner of conducting
his campaign is in striking contrast to
that of some of the other candidates.
While they are riding over the country
indulging in vituperation against those
who oppose them and against any and
every thing which does not favor their
candidacy, Gov. Wilson is engaged in
the task of decorously expounding the
doctrine of old fashioned democracy,
and ever and anon assuring the people
that a democratic regime does not mean
the running of prosperity and a calamity
to the country as his opponents would
have them believe. His calm demeanor
and logical reasoning is attracting the
attention of the people, many of whom
have heretofore been unable to decide
as to which horn of the dilemma thew
would take, Teddy or Taft, but have
since hearing him decided to compromise
on Wilson.

which ordinarily would be almost I'M
endurable, but in view of the near ap-
proach of the finish of our splendid
new school building, will cheerfullv be

around over town in several different

pupils. But everyone, pupils. and
patrons are asked to lend their COON

as possible and in the near future We

Another Farm Sold

Messrs. Hughes & Swinebroad the
real estate agents have sold to Mr.. T..
B. Robinson for Eph. Leavell his farm
of 161 acres on the New Danville pike
Al miles from Lancaster at STOPS per
acre. "Uncle Eph" Leavell is one of
our very best colored citizens and is al
so one of the thriftiest farmers in the
county, a few years since he bought
the farm sold to Mr.. Robinson from
Squire Jim Bourne, but as Uncle Eph
accumulated his wealth in the Buckeye
neighborhood, his heart yearns for the
old scenes and we understand he will
return to that locality. The host of
friends of clever "Tommie" Robinson
are rejoiced to know he will not leave
Garrard. He is one of our most pro-
gressiye farmers, an extensive trader
and breeder and fancier of high class
saddle horses, as well as a wheel horse
in politics, many times having been
mainly instrumental in pulling hard
pressed democratic candidates out of
bad rut.

Pay No Heed To Them

Allie Jones of North Middleton has
been disbarred from exhibiting stock at
Paris fairs until he retracts some strong
language he is alleged to have used
when he failed to get a premium he
thought he should have been given, and
Harry Weissinger has been barred from
the State Fair on the same grounds.
If We were to apply such dicipline to
every kicker in this neck of the woods,
we would be able to hold only one day
fairs, we would be out of exhibitor, all
would be disbarred. Every exhibitor
in every ring down this way is ready to
assert that he should most assuredly
have had the blue. No attention is
paid to their walls and they always
show up again in the very next ring in
which they are eligible.

County Court.

Monday was county court day and
because of the rain Sunday rendering
it impossible to perform any kind OF
farm labor, the largest crowd seen hers
in years came to town. Business in all
lines was brisk, the people all wearing
smiling faces and general good feeling
pervaded the entire crowd, due doubtless
to the abundant crops with which we
are blessed.
There was about 230 cattle at the
stock pens, good, bad and Indifferent
and pretty much the entire lot changed
handle at prices ranging from 4 to 81
cents per pound. There was between
25O and 800 mule colts on the market,
but buyers were scarce and comparative
few were sold, the prices not being
sufficiently large to induce the farmers
to part company with them. Prices
ranged from $50. for the small scrubby
little fellows to as high as $3.50. for the
high grades.
