NO MERCY FOR WIFE KILLER.

Feeling against William Josiah
McMeen, convicted in 1886 of the
murder of his wife in Port Royal,
Juniata county, was declared to be
as strong as it was in 1887, when the
board of pardons was hanged in
effigy for committing his senetnce Of
death to life imprisonment.
Senator Z. E. Beidleman made
application for pardon for McMeen,
declaring he had been model pris-
oner since sent to the Western peni-
tertiary in 1887 and there were
grave elements of doubt in the con-
viction of McMeen.
Senator Beidleman's arguments
were attacked by District Attorney
Graybill of Juniata county, who de-
clared that the people of the county
feared the return of McMeen, whom
he declared was still regarded as ca
bad man" by men and women who
remembered the tragedy in which he
figured twenty-eight years ago. The
board refused pardon.

GET RID OF NUIsANcEs.

The New York Edison company
has perfected an apparatus for elm
mating the smoke and cinder nui-
sance at its great Watersile station,
New York. The smoke from the
boiler plant, laden with SCOT and Gin
ders, is driven at high speed through
a sheet of water, by means of which
practically all of the material which
constitutes a nuisance is deposited in
big water tank. The recent test
showed an average efficiency of ex-
traction of 95 per cent.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed TO be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced II a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced It incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh TO be a consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by +. J. Cheney e.
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu-
tiOnal cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea

HARD LANGUAGE TO LEARN
PecuIiaritles OF English Tongue Seem
to Have Somewhat Mystified
This Student.

It is hard for the person to whom
English is his native tongue to real
ize what struggle the foreigner has
to understand some Of the peculiari-
ties of our spelling and the following
is a description of his first lesson in
an English class:
We have been given book to learn
the letters. / arrive at the class, hav-
ing learned them perfectly.
Soon, in the course of the lesson,
we have the word Low. 'Love," /

sound of V.
"No; it is pronounced To- said the
teacher.
"Then why is the W there?" l in
quire, mystifed.
at is there because that is the way
the word is spelled" responds the
teacher; "but it is silent. Never
mind why; 1T Is sufficient TO know
that it is there"
Before long we come to the word

"Why will you mott" she asked me,
1t is some time before she under

the word when 1 say "No." Then
she declares that although Low is 10,

ADDRESS BY JAS. A.

that afforded an ideal roosting place
for crows. At least they thought SO,
for upon frequent occasions practic-
allv all the crows in Christian from
the north as we'll as the south, and l
am sure a goodly representation
from Todd and Trigg, would meet in
convention there and cav and dis
pute. wrangle and pow-wow for
hours at time. About what, the
Lord only knows, but that they were
earnestly discussing something Oh
great Importance to them was clear
to ALL. After so long a time, they
would solemnly fly away in all d.
rections and resume their customary
avocati ms. If crows in great num-
bers find it necessary to come togeth-
err frequently for the discussion OF
their mutual affairs, surely the peo-
pie of Hopkinsvil and the county at
large can do as well as the crows. If
no other results are brought about
theitown and county will come to
know each other better and this. will
do great things towards overcoming
preiudice and misunderstanding.
Pow-wows and discussions are al
ways necessary preliminaries to eve
nv undertaking, whether 1T be for
Enlightenment of the affairs OF birds,
beasts or men. admit that it would
be better to go right ahead with
some road work in Christian county
and cut out all the talk about it, but
such is not the regular procedure.
However urgent and pressing the
business in hand may be, the prelim |
mary pow-wow must be pulled off.
Such meetings as this do more to !
break down any feeling of hostility
that may exist between town and
country people than anything else. |
regret, that owing largely to preJu
dice, there does not always exist that
mutual confidence and esteem that
would be so much better for all.
Country people heretofore have felt
TO a more or less extent that about
all the use the town people had for
them was to collect taxes from them,
call them "hayseeds," make jokes
about the length and quality of their
whiskers, and throw the hooks into
them Just as good and deep as the
state of their health and capacity of
their pocketbooks would permit. But
praise be to heaven this misunder-
standing and prejudice is passing
away. | therefore congratulate the
II. b. M. A. for its efforts to cult
vate more cordial and intimate rela-
tions between the business men and
people of Hopkinsville and the citi-
zens of Christian county. am sure
these efforts will succeed and bring
about most gratifying results. These
meetings will do more towards hav-
ing good roads than all the campaign
oratory on earth. The voter now is
more interested in the men who has
put forth an intelligent effort and ac-
tually built some good roads, than in
the empty promises and vague clap
trap of the lurid and turgid office
seeker, who informs him with such
pride and warmth, "that he practic-
ally came into the world lisping the
sacred word DEMOCRACY" OF
that he has been faithfully and un
tiringly preaching since his infancy

Let Out on Bail.

John Cayce, the negro boy who
was so i'll Of typhoid fever in Jail, was
admitted to bail in the sum of 81 900
this week and taken to his fathers
home on Howe street. The boy is
held on a charge of murder, but his
condition is such that it was best,for
him to be released from Jail. His
bond was signed by Charley Cayce.
his father, and Jas. L. Allensworth.

in road building worthy of the name
Of macadam. The business men Of
Hopkinsville will help. The farmer
near whom the road is built will lend
his aid in hauling stone and contri-
buttons in money too, but he is from
Missouri, and you have got to show
him the money is going to be not
only honestly but efficiently spent,
to the end that a road will result and
not a quagmire.
The whole country realizes that
the old system for the administra-
ton of public affairs is inefficient
and expensive, especially inefficient.
For that reason the commission form
of government is spreading like wild
fire. Cities with the commission
form of government are securing
the services of the best business men
they can get, irrespective of their
party affiliations, to administer their
affairs and they are getting results.
Politics in road making is as fatal
as it is in sewer contracts, street
railway, electric light or gas fran
chises have been in the city of New
York.
Why not take road work out of
politics? If a man is making good
as road builder let's not inquire in
to his religion or politics, but check
him up ON the measurements of the
rock he is placing on the roads. Why
not build what pixies we do in a sub
tantial manner, and not waste money
putting rock patches on dirt roads?
Why not use the $50, 900 a year along
the dirt road where the farmers will
bid the most for it in the way of
hauling and money? The farmers
will subscribe so much money, pay
half of it when the work begins,
make notes for the balance to be
paid when the road is finished and
accepted by committee of farmers
selected by the subscribers for this
purpose. Have this committee in
spect the road during the course of
its construction, and in case the work |
is not being done to suit them, let
them kick and protest then, when
the kick will do good, and not wait
until the whole thing is hopeless
mess. i
This will make your $4,000 go
long way in road building. 1t has
been suggested by some that our
county vote on a bond issue of sew
eral thousand dollars for road pur-
poses; but is it not more business
like for our road officers to first show
their ability and willingness to eco
nomically and judiciously spend the
present $4,000 tax fund before we
burden the tax payers with the bond
proposition?
State aid for road work is on the
way; Federal aid can be had if we
are enterprising and will go after it
and show that we are willing and
able to make some roads worth while.
The government helps those that
show a disposition to do something
themselves.
Good roads leading into Hopkins
Vile will bring business and money
that is now going elsewhere and will
add to the wealth of our county and
town. The town having the best
roads leading to it, other conditions
being equal, will get the business.
This fact has been made celebrated
in the child's classic.

ter in a shower of rain,
He fell in puddle up to his middle
and never went there again."
