Mexico

The expected has happened.
Madero has resigned and Gen.
Huerta is now the provisional
President of Mexico. Zapata
refuses to be reconciled and Cen
eral Gomez of Northern Mexico
is still on the war path directing
his operations from Texas. He
is the greatest fizzle of all the
rebels and his rebellion is chiefly
on paper. He is a splendid fight
er on paper.
Nothing is settled in Mexico
and nothing can be settled until
some outside'power steps in and
gives to the government strength
and dignity. Everything is in a
chaotic state. The rebels are
hopelessly divided among them.
selves and have no policy other
than that meaningless policy of
Against the Government" A
great struggle will now come on
between the forces of Huerta and
Diaz in the coming elections.
Gomez and Zapata will cut but
little figure in this election. That
Diaz will triumph is to be ex-
pected because the fierce struggles
between the contending political
forces of the now provisional
President, will so divide his
strength that the united forces of
Diaz will easily triumph. Then
another out break will occur. The
rule of force is on in Mexico and
not a rule of law.

LADY of the Lake."

The play by the Freshman class
of Caldwell High School, "The
Lady of the Lake." which was
presented on Thursday evening,
is beins-spoken of in terms of the
highest praise. The dramatiza-
ton of the play was by Miss Eliz-
abeth Terill, the pretty and gifted
daughter of Mr.. r. B. Tenill, of
this city. The cast of characters
was fine and the costumes we'll
gotten up.
Mr.. Byron Marshall as Fitz-
James was especially good, while
Miss Margaret Azbill as ELLEN"
was worthy of mention. The en-
tire troupe was good, and we con-
graduate these young performers.
A very attractive feature of the
evening was the pretty chorus by
the little girls.

Marshall Petit
Murdered
By Band of Drunken Negroes
Last Thursday Night. Two
Arrests Made so Far.

This city was startled Friday
morning to learn that Marshal
A. T. Petit had been murdered
the night past by bunch of
drunken negroes across the river.
1t seems that some of the men
had been to one of our sister Sd
loon licensed, rum-soaked cities,
tanked up, and brought home a
lot of liquor. They fired several
shots in this city on their way
home. Dick Smothers and three
of his boys are charged with the
murder. The authorities, having
a knowledge of their disorderly
conduct, dispatched Marshal Pet
tit, aided by Jesse Eaton and Otis
Mackey to go over the river and
make the arrest. Upon their
coming upon the crowd a pitched
battle ensued, resulting in Petit
being killed and Dick Smothers
being wounded in the shoulder.
Eaton and Mackey returned to
the city for re-enforcements, went
back and arrested Dick Smothers
and one of the boys and placed
them in Jail. The other negroes
made their escape. Petit was
found with his head mashed to
an unacceptable degree and
three shots fired into his head.
The remains were brought to this

The Callahan Confessions

Covan, Elisha and Dock Smith
jointly indicted with others for
the murder of the noted feudist
Ed Callahan, have made a con-
fession of their part in the assas-
sination of Callahan. On their
trial which was recently held in
Winchester and in which there
was hung jury, they attempted
to prove an alibi and did intro
duce some evidence to sustain
their contention that they had
nothing to do with the crime.
Their confession places the alibi
witnesses in the middle of a bad
fix but the noted murderers do
some of them the justice to say
that they were honestly mistaken
in their testimony.
These three men will be taken
to Breathitt county to testify be-
fore the grand jury and it is said
that this testimony will implicate
some prominent men.
The confession says that An
drew Johnson, boy of nineteen
years, fired the shots that killed
Callahan.
Deaton who was jointly indict-
ed and tried with the other pris-
oners, says the confession is a
frame up and that Lish Smith
has been bribed to make the con-
fession.
Developments are being await
ed in this noted case.

Christian Science Lecture

On Tuesday evening at the
Court House, Mr.. Virgil Stricken,
of New York, addressed a large
and attentive audience. His sub
ject, Christian Science" was
handled in a most interesting
manner, and Mr.. Stricken proved
himself to be a lecturer of no
mean ability. He was introduced
by Mr.. Robards, of Louisville, in
a highly complimentary way.
The platform was tastefully
decorated with blooming plants
and ferns, as a fitting tribute to
the distinguished stranger within

Bloodhounds have been brought
from Lexington to trail up the
fugitives and it is likely that all

will be behind the barS by night

1t is said Petit did not do any
of the shooting, but endeavored
to make a peaceful arrest. The
men, however, were on the war
path and made quick work of
their murderous intentions. The
community was never so wrought
up as at present, and it is proba-
BILE that justice will be melted out
before the law will get an oppOr-
tunity to do so. Great precau-
tons are being taken by the Off
GERS, however, to protect the
prisoners.-Clay City Times.
LATER: The Jail in wlrehthe
negro assassin was confined was
broken and the prisoner was
either taken out by a mob and
disposed of, or else he has been
spirited away by his friends. 1t
appears more in keeping with cir
cumstances to believe that the
latter is the true state of the case.

Caldwell Oratoral Contest

On Friday evening, February
2lst, at Caldwell High School,
the Oratorical Contest was held
and seldom have we been con.
fronted with harder task than
to pass judgment on such able
contestants; indeed among the
young gentlemen there were so
many points Of excellence, that
we felt each one should be
awarded medal, but as this
could not be we will pass on to
the competitors who ran neck to
neck in the race: Mr.. Gordon H.
Barnes and Mr.. Wilko Scanlon,
the latter receiving the medal.
THE Execution of Montrose,"
by Mr.. Gordon Barnes, reflected
great credit on the speaker, the
piece was one of difficult elocution
and yet it was presented with
feeling and literary appreciation
and its beauty brought out by a
fine delivery unusual in so young
an orator.
Of Mr.. Wilko Scanlor's decla-
nation, Her Little Brown Boy"
the piece seemed written for him,
and he entered into the spirit of
his theme with an understanding
and vim that surprised the aud.
fence and gave promise of greater
things here after.
Mr.. G. c. Bradley's speech
THE Rag" is deserving of spe-
cial mention; his voice was good,
his manner and delivery easy

his effort.

GRIGG's PHILOSOPHY.

The ocean is vast until we
have crossed it, the earth until
we have comprised it, but we
cannot compass the stars. The
stars. of all things in nature, are
the one symbol of absolute i'm
mensity.
Mere facts are the dead wood
of intellect, which the active
spirit must build into the temple
of truth.
The conception of God is no
more paradOXical to the human
intellect than the conception of
an atom.
Dante's avowed aim was TO
show the working out of isolated
moral laws. Shakespeare's sub
jects are men and women, both
working out the tendencies of
their own lives. Goethe gives us
the development of the single
soul through all the storm and
stress of circumstance.
Even in the last century men
felt compelled to apologize for
writing about themselves. Mod
ern literature is autobiography
cal. Men now realize that the
development of a human being
is the most interesting thing in
the world and that if they can
tell openly and clearly the story
OF their own lives there are
many who will find a deep inter
est in this.
Life means growth. The knowl-
edge of yesterdays is so much
intellectual power. but unless vi
talized by new thought it quick
ly becomes dead.-EdWard How
