FEDERAL QUARANTINE is
IMPOSED ON KENTUCKY CATTLE

Cattle estimated in value at more
than 100000 already sold and ready
for shipment from this section of
Central Kentucky have been held up
and are unable to be delivered be-
cause of the quarantine imposed on
Tuesday on Kentucky by the Federal
authorities according to statement
made yesterday by a prominent cat
tleman. The quarantine, which was
placed upon the State because three
instances of the foot and mouth dis
ease discovered at Shepherdsville,
Monday, by Federal inspectors, went
into effect Wednesday, cattle already

the order went into effect, having
cattleman said the order had the eff
feet of Immediately paralyzing the
cattle industry in this section of the
State
Immediate effects upon the local
meat supply are not likely to be felt,
however, it is said since Central
Kentucky produces more than suffici-
ent beeves for home consumption.
Shipments of meat from outside the
State may be discontinued, however,
because of the scarcity of meat at
the sections which were formerly
centers of the industry.

TWO-AND-A-HALF CENT
FARE BILL HELD VOID.

The Court of Appeals on Wednes-
day held Unconstitutional the two
and-one-half cent passenger fare bill
passed by the last Legislature. The
bill was declared invalid because it
did not carry the enacting clause pro-
vided for in section 81 of the Con-
stitution which says "The style of
the laws of this Commonwealth shall
be as follows: BE it enacted by the
General Assembly of the Common
wealth of Kentucky The bill was
passed during the closing hours of
the session and in the rush the en-
acting clause was omitted.
The decision was handed down in
the case of the Commonwealth against
the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany, the opinion being written by
Judge Num-. The Illinois Central
Railroad Company was indicted in
Jefferson county on the charge of un-
lawfully and wilfully charging an
adult passenger in excess of two-and-
one-half cents a mile. The railroad
company demurred to the indict-
ment which was sustained by the
lower court.
The two-and-one-half cent passen-
ger fare bill was one of the most
important measures passed by, the
last Legislature. 1t was Speaker
Claude Terrells pet" measure and
on the closing night Of the session he
took floor in behalf of the measure.
After it passed the house is was sent
to the Senate where some amend
ments were made to it. The House
refused to concur in the amendments
and it was again sent back to the
Senate Finally the Senate passed it
as it went through the House and it
was during this rush that the enact
ing clause was lost.

TYPEWRITER
SUPPLY HOUSE IN PARIS

Mr.. F. r. MADEIRA, of Cincinnati,
representing the Neidich Process Co.,
of Burlington, n. j., manufacturers
of carbon papers and typewriter rib
bon, was in Paris Wednesday, and per-
fected arrangements with the Paris
Book Store to act as supply house for
the factory, to handle their products.
Mr. Madeira stated in a conversation
with the News man that his father,
Mr.. Jacob Madeira, was employed in
his younger days on the old True Ken
tuckian, away back in the early days
of that excellent paper, and that he
remembers when a boy of hearing of
the old True Kentuckian and especial
ly remembers hearing of Col. Craddock
After leaving Paris his father took up
the practice of law in Cincinnati, and
afterward moved West, where he be-
came the first city attorney of St.
Joseph, Mo- Madeira, the elder, was
tn possessor of large amount of real
estate in and around Cincinnati, and
his gift of fifty acres of ground to the
city of Cincinnati former the nucleus
of the present magiicent Spring Grove
Cemetery in that city.
Mr.. MADEIRA stated that while of
course, he had no personal recollec-
ton of Paris, he has always had de-
sire to visit the city, because of his
fathers residence here and from hear
ing him talk of the place so often. Mr..
MADEIRA said that one thing that had
stuck most tenaciously in his memory
was that he had heard his father talk
SO often of having lived somewhere in
"Cottontown,,' as it was then called,
and of walking across the old covered
bridge near the jail.
1t is not likely that any Of the pres
ent generation of Parisians remember
Mr.. MADEIRA, ST., but the publlca-
ton of this item may recall to some
of the older residents some recollec-
ton of him.

at Cane Rridge, witch has figured SO
prominently in tie annals of the Chris

last Sunday morning, and had it not
been for the prompt work of the male

MOONLIGHT SCHOOLS.

If Won should ever be hunting on a
Kentucky mountain on a bright moon
light evening and should see the little
country schoolhouse proudly lighted
I'M. if might be worth more than few
'coons or 'possums to drop in and see
what was going on.
Less than three years ago an enter
prising young school ma'am in one OF
these hill districts started what she
called the moonlight school, IL was
not meant for the children for they
could attend by day. She began 1t as
an experiment to see ii she could 90
something for the illiterate Whlte
grown-up; the mountaineers so long
Shut off from the ordinary lnuuences
of civilization.
Traditionally these people aren
keen on 'book larnin' for themselves,
though they are usually eager for edu-
cation for their children.
Rut this clever woman teacher FOUND
that their indifference was largely a
pose. They felt Inundated to go to
day school alongside children. But
given a chance to study in groups OF
their own age and kind, at. time
when the children weren't present
and they snapped at it.
Today Kentucky has 1000 moon
light schools, with total adult at
tendance of 100000 and the move
ment is spreading steadily.
Though nominally used as STUD,
places, these moonlight schools amoni
the lonely mountains are really socla

of neighborliness, little temples O
democracy. 1t is the far lonelier cit
which lets its fine school plant 81
