Pesdler Gets Bad On Jockey Row.

George Wright of Danville came over
from Danville on Monday, ostensibly
for the purpose of peddling apples to
the court day crowd. 1t is said that
among the barrels of apples in George
stock was one containing considerable
whisky, be this as it may however,
George appeared on Jockey Row very
much intoxicated and proceeded to run
amuck; he attempted to scalp George
Reid of Junction City. but Reid escaped
his clutches before he had done further
damage than infiict slight scalp wound.
Wright then selected from his
arsenal, which consisted of shot gun,
revolver, dirk knife and brass knucks,
a revolver and fired a shot into the air;
about this time Chief Heron and
officer Ernest Hubbard descended upon
him and took him to Jail. He was
taken before Judge Harris on Tuesday
morning and fined $50. and costs, which
was very cheap for his day of pleasure.
He is now in Jail awaiting the action OF
a ways and means committee who are
endeavoring to raise the amount of his
fine and release him from Jail.

Faultfnders Are Seldom Helpers.

There are many to criticize and many
to offer advice in this world, but how
few real helpers. The New York Sun
tells of a recent incident on the streets
of that great city, where horse draw
ing a CARLOAD of coal, stalled. Agreat
crowd gathered about, and many were
the words of advice spoken to the driv-
er. One advised whipping, another ty-
ing cloth over the horses eyes, blow
ing in his ear, and such things. Just
then two sailors came along, and one
of them called out, Ay, mate; but there's
a craft on a reef. ''Over with her,
then." Both seized a wheel for lift,
the driver CLICKED for the horse to go
ahead, end away went the load as easily
as you please. They were the only two
In the whole crowd who had not advised
the driver how to do it.

The Lexington COllectOrshlp.

Collector of Internal Revenue A. T.
Field of the Lexington district received
notice from the department on last
Saturday of the acceptance of his
resignation, which was rendered several
weeks ago, and Mr.. Harry T. Nc
EldOwney was named as temporary
Collector, and will be checked into
office on May 1st, at which time Mr.
Field will return to his home in Ashland
and will devote his time to his business
interests at that place.
Meantime the fight over the Lexing-
ton Collectorship continues to become
more complex. Mr.. Desha Breckenridge
of the Lexington Herald has strong
backing for the place in the person of
Secretary McAdoo, as well as Gov Nc
Creary, johnson Camden and J. J. C.
Mayo from this state, while Senator
James is standing pat for Ben Marshall
of Frankfort for the position. Another
serious complication is spoken of as
having arisen, is that Judge Robert L.
Stout of Versailles is to be the eleventh
hour candidate in compromise, and is to
have the support of the Breckenridge
followers, whether or not Mr.. Breckin-
ridge would be willing to withdraw from
the race in favor of Judge Stout is not
yet known. In the meantime the
adherents of Ben Marshall are warmly
asserting that the latter gentleman has
the place cinched. No intimatiOn has
as yet come from President Wilson as
to who will knock the plum, and until
such indication does come, the friends
of the several candidates will continue
to urge their mans claim, each one
with apparent confidence of success.

A Much Needed Enterprise

The Garrard Milling Co., one of the
most progressive business institutions
in Lancaster, has installed a machine
for the manufacture of concrete blocks
and expect to be able to supply the
demands of the community along that
line upon short notice. They expect at
an early date to have sample of their
work on exhibition in order that those
who desire work of this kind may see
just what they can obtain.
The manufacture of concrete blocks
and other concrete work has been long
desired in Lancaster, and these people
are stepping in at an opportune NOM
ent, and will doubtless have about all
they can do during the building season
this spring.

Every Good Citizen Who Is Fond Of Fish
ing Or Hunting Should Become A
Member Of The Fish & Game
Club Of His County.

The impression seems to be abroad in
some counties that the present war
being waged against those who infringe
the game laws of the state is war of
the town people as against the country
people, and this imagination is said TO
have lead them so far in some instan-
ces as to become active in the destruc-
ton of fish by means of dynamite
Such an idea is preposterous and wholly
without foundation; the books of the
local club are open and everyone is
heartily invited to join, especially is
the invitation extended to people living
out in the county, and if they fail to
take advantage of the opportunity, it
is their own fault. The purpose of the
Fish & Game Commission is to protect
the fish and game of the state, from
everyone, town man and country man
alike, and every one who is caught vio-
lating these laws will be dealt with
alike, and that severely.
In so far as the local organization is
concerned, it absolutely without feeling
directed toward anyone, it's sole puI-
pose being the protection of the fields
and streams of the county, and the
club is composed of many of the very
best citizens of both town and county.
Are you a member? If not why not.
The object is a worthy one, the expense
is comparatively nothing. and the good
which may be accomplished is absolute
ly illimatable. Do you not hear more
quail whistling in your fields than in
years? DO you want those quail pro-
tected? The club will protect them
for you. Have you seen any of those
handsome strings of small mouth black
bass taken from Dix river, with hand
pole this spring, the best catches in
years? Do you want it to be continued
possible to make these catches? Join
the Fish & Game Club, it will protect
the stream as well as the field. Fisher
men from all over the county are going
to Dix river and fishing with a hand
pole, and having fine success. The
Fish & Game Club have made this pos
sible. Join their ranks and help keep
lup the good work.

Political Pot Begins To Simmer.

All three of the political parties
were exhibiting marked activity on
Monday. The already announced can
didates for democratic nominations
were putting in their best ticks and
urging their respective claims for the
offices to which they aspired upon the
large crowd assembled.
The old line republicans were caucus
ing, and while we were unable to Sc
cure definite information as to their
plans, it is generally understood that
they will have a strong and complete
ticket in the field.
The County Committee of the Pro
gressives was in session and also about
thirty of the adherents of that faith
were present, and the following ten
tative slate was submitted and met
with very favorable consideration.
For county Judge, ]. B. Bourne, Sher-
iff, Forest Stapp, County clerk, E. c.

Stella Hendren, Jailer, Sam Prather,
Assessor John Green, Representative.

signifed their willingness to make the
race, and other candidates in addition
to the names mentioned will doubtless
have try for the nominations.

Paint Lick Bridge.

The bridge over Paint Lick Creek on
the Richmond and Lancaster turnpike,
which was swept away by the recent
high water, has been repaired and
replaced and traffic has been resumed
over it. The cost of the repairs was
between 5000. and 500. and the work
was done by the day, the contractors
being paid a small per cent over the
actual cost of the labor and material
used in the work, and in this manner
the damage was repaired at the least
possible cost. The repairing of this
bridge will mean much to the merchants
of Paint Lick who have been greatly
injured while it was out of commission
because of the fact that customers
could not reach the town without follow
a roundabout course.

Johnston.

Mr.. Thomas NJ. Johnston died at the
home of his son w. Mcclellan Johnston
IN Jessamine county on Wednesday
April 23d after a lingering illness of
the Infirmaties incident to old age.

ter on last Friday and after services at

took charge, and after performing their
funeral rites, were inferred in the Lam
caster cemetery.
Mr.. Johnston was born in the state
of Pennsylvania, but came to Kentucky
and settled in Garrard county before
the civil war. He was blacksmith by
trade and for a while after locating
here worked at that occupation, after
ward purchasing farm in the Nc
Creary neighbOrhood, and there he hv-

advanced years prevented him from at

life. He married Miss Jane Mcdonald
a member of we'll known family of

preceded him to the grave. He is sur
vived by two sons, Messrs w. McClell-
an and John I. Johnston, both of whom
make their home in Jessamine county,
and by three daughter, Mrs. M. Belle
Burnside, who resides with her daugh-
