KENTUCKIAN HAS
MADE GOOD IN WEST

The Oroville, Cal, Mercury had
the following to say about Judge
H. D. Gregory, son-in-law of Judge
]. P. Bailey, of this city. The i'm
preston which Superior Court Judge
H. D. Gregory made upon the people
of Oakland and San Francisco on his
trip following the ending of the

press comment Judge Gregory was
a guest at the Newspaper Mems Club
and met many members of the edi-
torial stats of the various papers
The Knave, department of the Oak
land Tribune, has the following to
say regarding Judge Gregory
"Judge Gregory of Oroville was in
town Immediately after ne pronoun-
ced sentence upon the Rev. Madison
Slaughter. The judge is a quiet and
modest sort of man, who does not
advertise himself in any way, nor
give forth sign that he has been
through a notable judicial expert
ence.
'His bearing is in keeping with the
impression that might have been
gained of him from the accounts of
the famous case over which he pre-
sided. He is dignified but not cap
tious magistrate, who was sure of
himself and generally cognizant of
what is seemly in legal proceedings.
"He doesn't talk much. about the
case, further than to intimate that
Slaughter did not get any more than
was coming to him. The judge had
hard session and his visit to San
Francisco is for a change of scene
and air, which constitute the impor-
tant elements of a rest-to forget
as far as it is possible the sordid and
salacious particulars of the celebra-
ted case"

THE SMITH DIVORCE CASE.

The fact that wife is living in a
county other than the residence of
her husband by agreement with him
and for some special reason, not
with the intention of severing their
marital relations, does not establish
the wife's place of residence in the
county in which she happens to be
dwelling for the time, said the court
of Appeals last week, refusing a writ
of prohibition to Mrs. Sarah Smith,
restraining Judge w. T. Davis, of
the Harlan circuit court, from try
ing the divorce proceedings insti-
tuted by her husband, w. H.
H. Smith. Mrs. Smith has been
living for two years in Boyle
county, where their children are be-
ing educated. She demurred to the
jurisdiction of the Harlan circuit
court, alleging that her residence
was in Boyle county, Lut the court
overruled her demurrer and then she
asked for a writ of prohibition.
Judge Carroll wrote the opinion de-
nying the writ.

FREE LETTUCE FOR ASKING.

There isn't a bigger hearted fell
low anywhere than Col. Clark Jor-
dan, proprietor of the St. Asaph Ho-
tel. His many acts of charity and
benevoelnce more Otter go unnoticed
and unheralded, than otherwise. But
he is advertising one act of charity,
in order to reach those who will be
affected. In another part of the 1.
j., he suggests that all who may need
little lettuce, come and help them
selves free of all cost from a large
bed which he has at the hotel garden.
Col. Jordan says he will be only too
glad to give away the lettuce to all
who may call as long as it lasts.

FOR CLOVER BLoAT.

At the request of The Grant Coun-
ty News County Agent Fullerton of
Grant county has written the follow
ing instructions for prevention and
cure of the bloat: The Dutch or
White clover, called also old fash
Toned clover, is the chief miscreant.
Alsike, red clover and some other
clover are also bad but White and
Yellow Bloom Sweet clover are not
as dangerous. The chief danger is
when the clover is cold. This causes
sort of indigestion and formation
of gas causing death through suffo-
cation or pressure of the heart. Cat
tie and sheep owners should be
careful when first turning their
stock into a field where there is clo-
yer, as they may eat too greedily at
first. If the animal bloats the first
remedy is to tie a stick in the mouth
as a sort of bit and walk it gently up
and down, trying in every way to
get the animal to belch. Rub the
bloat side hard where it is swollen
in front of the hips. If this is not eff
fective administer drench of one
half of formalin in quart of water,
or two ounces Of turpentine in a
quart of linseed oil. If these meas
ures fail, or if the animal is down,
and cannot get up, it will probably
be best to stick it just in front of
the hip to let out the gas.

LAME BACK

Lame back is usually due to rheu-
matism of the muscles of the back.
Hard working people are most likely
to suffer from it. Relief may be had
by massaging the back with Cham
berlain's Liniment two or three times
a day. Try it. Obtainable everywhere.
