covered their mistake and entered
seriously and heartily into the discus

called such; what those present
thought was true and pertinent they
said. and. with some differing ideas
but all along the same general idea OF
reducing the evil TO the minimum
here, each was accorded a respectful
audience.
w X. Harrington was the ilrst
speaker. After reviewing general con-
ditions here, he said, that ON
upper Fort and School streets are wee
districts perhaps even worse than the

street walkers, to drug and opium

graphic description of 'Bloodtown az

GOOD BUSINESS COURT DAY

November court day usually rather
dull after big business on October
court, was unusually brisk Monday.
There were about 700 cattle on the
market, none of extra quality how
ever, but nearly all sold. Feeders
are looking for stuff and almost any
kind of calf sold well. Prices rang
ed around five and six to six and a
half cents, though. One or two toppy
punches of extra feeders sold at sew
en- cents, but this price was heard of
but once or twice during the day.
Several big buyers were on hand,
looking for medium feeders. Jonas
We'll bought rs head to slop at the
Cedarbrook distillery in Anderson
county. Solomon Van Meter. of Lex
ington. was over looking for some
stuff, but could find little that suited
him. The mule trade was unusually
brisk. Most of the offerings were
yearlings and aged animals, though a
few colts changed hands. A big crowd
was in town and business seemed
good all day.

SOME ELECTION ECHOES

Bv a majority of 294 Scott county
voted to adopt the commission form
of government and do away with the
old fiscal court system.
Three-fourths of the vote in South
Dakota reported on the question
seems to have defeated woman SUI
frage there about 5000.
Charles Martin, of Millersburg,
shipped two loads of mules to ]. n.
Jones. of Neport, Tenn. Ten of the
thirty were aged mules which went
for an average of S1S5 and the re-
mainder were colts for an average OF
SS5 per head.
The Cincinnati Times-Star, repub-
lican, says that the reason that Ohio
went Democratic while so many old
line republican states were return
ing to G. o. P. fold. was that there
are a great MANY more Democratic
newspapers in Ohio than there are
Republican papers.
Jouett Shouse, formerly news
paper man of Lexington and secre-
tary of the Blue Grass fair, was elect
ed to congress again in the 7th Kan
sas district by 5000 mapOrity over
his republican opponent. The district
is normally republican and gave the
republican candidate for governor of
Kansas 1000 majority.
A dispatch from Washington says
that if Hughes was elected he plan
ned to call congress into extra ses-
sion in the early spring to repeal the
Underwood tariff law. also to enact
other emergency legislation as might
be necessary to carry out the Repub-
lican theories of protection after the
European war.

Pikeville, the Democratic nominee
for Appellate Judge in the Seventh
District. will contest the election of
Judge Elem D. Sampson, of Barbour
vile, the successful Republican noml-
nee, is believed at Frankfort: The
ground for the contest is that Judge
Sampson did not file his expense ac-
count at the time required by stat
ute, prior to the state primary.

Wants Old Shakertown
Turned Over To State-Suit Against
George Bohon's Estate

A suit intended to win the State
the right to seize the old homestead
of the Shaker colony, in Mercer
county at Harrodsburg late last week.
The estate of Colonel George b.
hon and the four aged survivors of
the sect now in its twlight-Dr. w.
3. Pennebaker, James Howard, Mary
Settle and Sarah Pennebaker-are
made the defendants in the suit, filed
by Miss Ora L. Adams, superintend-
ent of the Mercer county schools and
the Mercer County board of educa-
ton.
The Shaker colony was started in
was a religious sect with rigid tenets
much the same as the Quakers. There
was no intermarrying and as the
years passed the colony dwindled.
The Shakers realized that their
colony would pass into oblivion and
as the surviving members aged, they
would be unable to care for item
selves. They went to Colonel George
Bohon, a banker and merchant, who
had befriended them and placed in
trust with $4,000.
This money was given to Colonel
Bohor with the provision that when
the last member of the colony be-
came too old to support themselves,
he was to care for them, give them
a decent burial. An agreement was
drawn up whereby at the death of
the last member the 900 acres of
rich land, which had housed the
Shakers, would be revert to Colonel
Bohon as his reward for his care of
the Shakers.
Colonel Bohon has died. His estate
! was kept intact, however, and is car
rving out his part of the agreement
/ The four Shakers, the two men and
are being attended to by the Bohon
estate.
1t is this agreement, which willed
the land to the Bohon estate, that is
being attacked. The suit instituted by
the Mercer county school authorities
disputes the validity of this agree.
ment and denies that the Bohon es.
tate has any right to acquire the land
The suit charges that when the
| contract was entered into, the
Shakers had dissolved as a society
and its survivors had abandoned the
purposes of the society and the pur
roses for which the property wa!
held. Therefore, it is charged, tn,
deed is invalid and the property
should be revert to the State.
The land that is made the issue
the suit is considered one of
most valuable agricultural sections :.
| the State. It has a number of build
| ings and the soil has been developed
sidered very valuable piece of prop
ertv.
The Shakers have led a secluded
life, clustered from the world in {;
way, and have been regarded as al
institution in Kentucky.

tuesdays and Fridays
Negro Was Not At Fault
When He Struck Irvine Child With
Auto And Is Acquitted

Irvine Turpin, the colored chat
feur employed by W. B. Burton, who
struck the little Irvine boy with Mr..
Burton's car, near Hedgeville, last
week, was acquitted upon his exam
lining trial at Danville last week, as
it was shown by reliable witnesses
that the negro was in no way at
fault. Witnesses told how the little
fellow playing in the road with other
children, darted across the pike d.
rectly in front of the car, after it
had appeared to the driver that the
roadway was clear. Witnesses, who
were neighbors of the family, also
bore out the negro's statement that
he was not running over Is or 20
miles an hour at the time. 1t was
proven to be simply an unavoidable
accident of a distressing character,
but one for which the driver of the
car could not be held at fault.
Mr.. Burton, owner of the car, did
everything in his power for the men,
bers of the stricken family, securing
medical attention for the mother
who was almost Frustrated over the
sad affair. He also paid all expenses
ard what he did and the spirit he
manifested about the whole unfortu-
nate affair was appreciated greatly
by the afflicted parents and their
