Commonwealth Attorney B. A Crutcher

ed every infraction of the law. He spoke
of The common practice of carrying con-
cealed weapons and the dreadful conse-
quences that have resulted in this and
other States, and on this subject COM
mented on the widespread determine
tion and influence that is being brought
to bear in an effort to stamp out this
promiscuous and perniscious h a b t,
which is largely responsible for the
number of murders that are being COM
mitted throughout the State. He ex-
planned. TO the jury that houses OF i'll
fame in this city could, if there were
any, be closed and the inmates forcei to
to leave. as had in large degree been
done in Clark county.
The instructions along the line of cor
ruption in elections were vigorous and
the jury was charged to investigate and
ascertain if any illegal methods was used
by any candidate in the November cleo
tion. Judge Benton spoke of the lenien-
cy of the court towards those who were
indicted at the October term, but stated
positively that hereafter those indicted
for this offense would be given a jury
trial and its verdict would be final He

on this charge. even if granted pardon,
would forfeit the Office to which he was
elected.
Concerning the illegal sale OF whisky,
Judge Benton stated that according to

Auditor Bosworth has refused to pay war
rants drawn on him in payment for extra
help under this bill until Attorney Gen.
eral Grrneit gives his official opinion as
to its legality. The strange part of the
whole proceeding is that three high off
Gals of the State. the Governor, Speaker
Terrill and President McDermott shou Id
condone the putting into execution of a
bill already passed upon by the Governor
as illegal. and to say The least of it,
strongly suspected in other quarters of
being contrary to the Constitution of the
State and therefore illegal.

LEGISLATIVE PROBE AND
EASTERN NORMAL.

Senator Hall and his excellent com
mittee Of the Kentucky Senate have done
and are still doing good work for the
people Of this State in investigating our
educational and eleemosynary institu-
tions. We particularly admire the spir
it that appears TO animate this commit
tee in the pursuance of its work; spirit
both conservative and fair; a spirit of
wanting to build up, not pull down; a
spirit that while seeking to protect the
States financial interest is yet big
enough, far-seeing enough TO look beyond
the dollar and see the good, the uplift
for the great common people that our
institutions, assisted by reasonable fnan-
cial help from the State, are capable Of.
Many of the recommendations made by
Senator Halls committee, we believe,
will rebound to the good of the State
financially and yet not in the least i'm
pair the usefulness of the institutions,
but rather add TO their usefulness.
While this is true in the main, we do
believe their recommendations as TO the
Eastern Normal if carried out will be
serious error, a result that Senator Hall
and his associates do not want. We of
Eastern Kentucky, who daily come in
contact with the advantages 10 a large
number Of our boys and girls, in but a
few years to become the men and wo-
men, the fathers and mothers of our
State, can see the benefits already man.
ifesting themselves in many ways; nota-
bly,, in the better grade of teachers in
our country schools, the uplift of the
character of our teachers as rejecting
itself in their pupils.
As TO 10 the sale at this time of the
Eastern Normal farm, we believe it
would be mistake. II has not had
fair trial as yet. 1t is the belief of a
large number Of our most successful
farmers that the farm can and will be
made valuable asset and source of
revenue. 1t must be borne in mind
that while State Examiner GOodpaster
has recommended the sale of the farm,
that his predecessor in Office, Hon. Nc
Kenzie Todd, if we remember correctly,
strongly recommended the purchase of
it. This is simply difference of opinion
between men, for we have great regard
for Mr.. Goodpaster and his methods
We admire him, but believe his judy
ment in this case is in error.
Be it remembered, also, that the farm
was purchased by the unanimous vote
OF the Board of Regents This Board is
composed of men of the highest charac-
tiers; men who have made success of
their own financial affairs, and as above
said. the farm experiment has not been
given sufficient trial yet. These men.
while loyalty submitting 70 the will Of
the General Assembly, are not yet salts
fed as TO the futility OF the enterprise.
Try it ont thoroughly and il not sue
cess, it can be readily sold at full value
at any time. But TO sell it just now win

GERMAN ADVANCE IS
CHECKED BY BELG|ANS

Brussels, Aug 6.-The Belgian
forces have checked the German adj
vance with very heavy losses on both
sides.
The German army, having Cologne
as it's base, crossed the Belgian from
tier at Gemmenieh. Divided into two
columns it advanced against Liege
and Namur. The heaviest fighting
was in the attack on Liege, where a
German force of $4,000 was engaged
by Belgians of half that number.
The Germans attempted to carry
the entrenchms snts beyond Liege by
storm, but were repulsed by wither-
irg artillery fire and the advance col
ANN ieil back in confusion, leaving
snauy dead and wounded. .-s
The Belgiens had mounted machine
guns along the railway line command
ing the right Of way and the military
road that raral!eled lit and the Ger
mans were unable to carry the posi-
ton by storm After falling back, the
Germans rapidly entrenched and
mounted artillery, with which they
are now bombarding Liege from half
circular position extending for eight
miles.

London, Aug. 6.-The kaiser's reply

ration of war.
It was received at the foreign Office
before the time limit set by Great
Britain. The British government then
waited until the expiration of the ul-
timatum in order to keep it's record
clear and then issued declaration
of war against Germany.
The British officially hold that Eng
land declared war, as the declaration
by the kaiser was not officially an
nounced.
Volunteers are focking to army
headquarters. The war / spirit has
spread everywhere. Fl. # -,
It is announced that the war office
will accept all offers of troops from
the colonies, but no arrangements for
transporting them will be made until
it is certain they will be needed.
