grandchildren, she is survived

WET" SENATORS
VOTE DRY"

One of the most amusing but
decided dry victories" was wen
in the Kentucky Senate recently.
IL happened in this wise. When
the Statewide bill" was under
discussion, a Senator who Is re-
gaNed as the mouth-piece of the
present administration, stated
that the place TO settle the
question of prohibition was at
Washington" The dry" Sena
tor, thinking that they would ties.
the sincerity of this utterance, in.
toduced a resolution calling on
the Kentucky Representatives in
Congress to support the bill now
pending for the submission of the
question of notion-wide prohi-
mtion 20 the vote of the people.
a wet Senator, in order TO
muddle matters, offered an a.
mendment, provided that tho
United States government agrees
TO pay TO all the people affected
a fair cash valuation for their
property" For the solution thus
amended the "wets" voted, seem
ingly forgetting that this commit
ted them to nationwide prohibi-
ton" The amusing part came
a little later when the "Chief Ia
quor Defender" of Louisville,
KY, called the "wet" Senators
into his sanctum the next morn
ing and, metaphorically speaking,
took each one of them over his
editorial knee and gave them a
good spanking, and wound up the
incident by telling them, "boys,
You have acted the fool, and have
placed a club in the hands Of the
drys that you will be long time
in recovering, and it will be a
long while before you will hear
the last of it." This leads us 10

leaders" at Frankfort have given
evidences Of wise leadership, and
are making history rapidly, and

While playing on the floor with her
Christmas toys, Marguerite, the two

George Lance, Tuesday, swallowed d
screw almost an inch in length, which
she had taken from q rocking chair.
Mrs. Lance, who was busy with
her household duties in another room

gasping for breath. The baby
mouth was wide open in its endeavor
to obtain air, and the mother noticed
the screw, which had lodged in the
child's throat.
She was afraid to attempt to rccov-
or the screw by forcing her finger
down the baby's throat, because she
thought the child might choke to
death. She seized her baby by the
feet and lifted it from the floor, with
Is head hanging downward Whihc in
this position, she slapped the little
girl vigorously on the back, in the
rope that she might disIodge the
screw.

TO TRY TO BREAK
LONHlENNE WILL
N. B. Colbert, Cut OFF In Banks
Favor, Employs Lawyer
To Investigate.

\. b. Colbert, an employee of the +.
w. Morrison Ice e. Fuel Co., yester-
day announced he had retained Oscar
A. Knehans as his attorney in an eff
fort to break the will of U. j. Lon
hienne, the wealthy Illinois farmer
who died at the Terminal Hotel, re-
Gently, and who, although Colbert had
lived with him from infancy, cut him
off in his will.
The will was fled in the Common
Pleas Court yesterday and by its
terms, after two lcgacies of $1,000
each arc made to nieces of Lon
heinne's first wife the estate was left
t. the Sturdivant Bank. w. H. Stub
blefield, Jr., and Harry l.. Machen are
appointed executors.
Lonhienne's estate consists Of a
farm OF about 1G4 acres on the East
Side which has been valued at from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Colbert, who is about % years old,
curing the time that he lived with
Lonhienne, was closer to him than
anyone else. During Lonhicnne's
illness, which lasted several
weeks before he died, Colbert was in
almost constant attendance upon him
;ad for several days he went without
sleep and rest to see that the old man
received proper care.
Colbert indicated that one of the al
legations in his fight against the
will, will be that undue influence was
brought to bear upon the old man in
cutting him off from participation in
the estate
Lonhienne left s. to brother in
Belgium, and the two to whom he left
Il 900 each are: Allie EdmundSOn
and Myrtle May Edmundson, IA and
lG years old respectively, daughters
Of Grant Etlmundson, a wealthy Hi
moiS farmer.
In the will, Lonhienne declared that
! the remainder of the estate was left
TO my friends, the Sturdivant Bank,
in recognition Of the many acts of
! kindness and courtesiCs which | have
received at the hands of its officers. -
