Wants To Know.

Centertown, KY. Feb. 14.-Edator
Republican, have just read the
list of claims allowed by the Fiscal
Court and was greatly surprised at
the amount OF money 1t takes to
run the county. do not wish to
question any of the claims but would
just like to know what benefits the
tax payers Get for their money. ]
also think it would be of interest to
a majority OF the people to have some
of the items explained. For. instance,
what were the duties OF our Finance
Committee that cost us three hundred
dollars. I was under the impression
that the Fiscal Court managed mat
tens of finance. 1t surely didn't cost
us that much to borrow money to
run the county. Possibly one Of the
committee will enlighten US.
Another item of $12O for travelling
expenses Of our road engineer which
the Legislature thought we needed.
but which the people think an ex-
pensive luxury at a $1,000 salary a
year. l don't believe our roads are
any better or any straighter than
they were before we had him.
think everyone is agreed that
we need better roads but there is
several different opinions about the
way to Get them. Some think they
should be drug with split log drag
and that the farmers should drag
them gratis" which sounds nice.
Although / think they would willing
ly do it free land perhaps they would
get the most benefit from it, if they
did not think that they were taxed
enough already If it was economic
ally used. with several other Pro-
gressives voted for John Is. Wilson
for judge hoping to SO change in
the way our county affairs were run.
With iaah in a wiser and more &C.
onomlcal administration Of our coun-
ty affairs, | will close.

STATE TREASURER
KILLS HIMSELF
New York Graft Inquiry
Drives Officer Insane.
Investigation Shows There Was
Nothing Wrong With His
Accounts.

New York, Feb. Estate Treas
urer John j. Kennedy committed sui
eide in Buffalo yesterday shortly
after noon on the eve of his exam
nation in the John Doe Graft inves-
tigation in this city, but this will
not halt the inquiry into his office
and affairs.
This was indicated today by men,
bers of the Assembly Graft investigat
ing Committee, known as the Sui
Ivan committee,
1t was said that the committee
would probably authorize an imme-
date investigation, following its
meeting in Albany tonight to select
counsel for ITS graft hunt. Assistant
District Attorney John Kirkland
Clark. of this city, Is the most Iik-
oily candidate for counsel and will
probably get the appointment.
Speaker Thaddeus C. Sweet. OF the
Assembly, who conferred with Dis
trict Attorney Charles Whitman re-
gardins the graft hunt Sunday might.
is one of those who urged the Ken
nedy investigation.
"He is one of my best friends"
he said, but since he took his life
the day before be was to be ques-
toned concerning the affairs of his
office and his connection with the
bond business, think his friends
will demand that an inquiry be made.
I am sure that everything will be
found in proper shape"
Mr.. Sweet said the Sullivan CON-
mittee should make the investiga-
tion. Distrfst Attorney Whitman was
shocked at the news of the suicide
of Kennedy. He SAID that he had no
evidence against Mr.. Kennedy and
merely intended to ask his qustinOs
about crtain information which had
reached him.
Friends OF Kennedy here insisted
that his suicide must have been due
to a sudden spell Of insanity.
The suicide Of Kennedy occurred
at the Markeen Hotel. where he had
lived with his family for about a
year. He was found in a small law
atory Of the hotel ballroom with his
throat cut and an open razor lyins
ON the floor beside him, his jugular
vein having been severed. and death
occurred before p doctor arrived
John A. Hennessy, who was Gov
ernor Sulzer's investigator Of condi-
tons In the State departments, said
today that he could not baieve Ken
ntiy's suicide had been prompted by
the investigations now under way.
"As far as we could discover
said, Kennedy was no
more than a figurehead. He had no
more to do with the matters now
under investigation than one of his
office boys"

a MaAii Gras party Of 1875 aboard,
the steamer Queen City was caught
in the swift current of the Ohio river
at 1880 o'clock this morning, and
was swer. against the wicket gates
Of the Kentucky chute, sinking in
eight feet of water.
When the monster excursion boat
crashed into the wicket gates, but
few of the 125 souls aboard realized
their danger. Some had already re-
tired and when awakened rushed to
the deck in scanty attire. Others
we're in the cabin dancing, ard when
the distress whistle sounded q num-
Der of women Grew hysterical.
Despite the nerve-racking expert
ence Of being called abruptly from

or from the dance, the passengers
behaved remarkably we'll. The Queen
City's crew and superior officers dis
Played superb discipline. and while
arrangements were being made to
conduct the terror-strcken pessen-
gers to safety, the officers and MEM
bers of the crew busted themselves,
reassuring hysterical women and
frightened men that there was no
immediate danger. Captain Leper
instructed the passengers to don life
preservers, as y precaution for en-
forseen danger. t
1t was probably duo to the re-
sourceful and instantaneous rescue
work OF the life SAVING crew under
the command of Captain GilOoley
that all the passengers were escort
ed to safety. Not single passenger
nor piece Of baggage was reported
missing. When the Queen City was
seen to be in peril. the life savins
crew got into action Immediately.
Two skiffs of 1.-The life savers were
shot into the river with double.
speed. The first passengers had no
sooner reached the decks when they
heard the reassuring shout from Cap
tain Gilooley and saw the life boats
drawing alongside the Queen City.
The scantily dressed passengers SUI
fered intensely from the cold. The
customary rule Of women and chill
dren first /" was observed, and every
woman and child aboard was safely
seen ashore before q man enterttd the
life boats. The trained and muscular
life savers Of the Louisville crew
worked tirelessN until every passdn-
ger was safely ashore. Then they
made additional trips for baggage
and clothing for the frozen passen-
gers Of the ill-fated staemer.
The boat is now lying In eight feet
Of water on level rock bottom with
her hog chains broken. AS far as
could be definitely ascertained no
serious damage was done to her hull.
Boat officials announce that the work
Of -aising the steamer will be start<
ed at once. The Queen City is 255
feet long and fifty-five wide. She
has featured the annual Mardi Gras
trips for many seasons. Government
officers have offered their assistance
in raising the Queen City.
Although the passengers will long
their narrowing exper-
ience, tn majority will board the
Steel City and continue the trip to
New Orleans. A score of the pass
engers left Louisville by rail- in order
to- be In New Orleans by Saturday.

OUR PERENNIAL EVIL.

Gentle spring comes TO soften the
frigidity of the winters cold; summer
blossoms from the spring time and
reigns until the frosts of fall; fall
Genes with its poiI ting OF renewed
activities in this souther health and
pleasure resort; We hllster and hus-
tie around and prepare FOR business.
There seems to come change to every
thing.
But no. Along the depths OF our
beautiful valley We have a thorough
fare, a sort of main stem,' an avenue
that is to us what the board walk
is to Atlantic City, promenade Tor
the visitor, street popu arized by the
walks of thousands from all parts OF
the word.
Central avenue to tae returning Wis
itor now is the same Central avenue
of old. To the pedestrian it offers
that same sport of ducking and dodg-
ing the gusts of dirt. But that isn't
the worst of i Central avenue owns
and possesses nav the same ragged
front that it wore with bowed head
all last season. The holes perhaps,
orc not ca idaan ,nxv &c tba., have
been, or perhaps less numerous, but
time will work wonders, and perhaps
by the day of the opening OF the state
fair the avenue will present about the
same type of neglect that it did just
one year ago.
Of course this is somebody's bust
ness, but it isn't receiving much at
tention. The citys blame? No. The
only time the pavement has been fill
ed to level in some years was when
the city street working force took up
the work. A tab was kept, and the

not mass meeting, and why not ac

sAWYER's cAPABILITY.

Up in the northwest counties of tn,
state of Arkansas where there arr
coal mines and other important inter
ests, they have looked the situation
over in advance RELATIVE to the speak
ership, and her is wha, Brother Sal
lis of the Clarksyille Herald says O
l.. E. Sawyer, of Garland:
We note through the columns
OF the state press that Hon. l., e.
Sawyer of Garland County is a
candidate for speaker of the next
House of Representatives. While
we have never had the pleasure OF
meeting Mr.. Sawyer, we nave had
occasion to notice his record as a
law maker and to see him in ac-
ton in the house. We do not
know who his opponents are, or
viii be, but we do know it is a
compliment TO the legislature
when men of HE ability win offer
for this position. He was one OF
the leading members of the last
session, and his ability as law
yer, parliamentarian and debater
coupled with his broad-minded-
ness. courage and progressive
ness created for him, statewide
reputation. As stated above, we
do not know mis- opponents, they
may be equally desirable, but we
do know, with Sawyer as speaker,
the people of the state can look
forward to safe, sane and progress
sive legilation which we need SO
badly.
