THE SORDID STORY OF A
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER

A sordid story of sin and loose
living was developed in County
Judge Wilson's court here yesterday.
II seems they had a court of in
quiry before Esq. B. F. Rice at
Fordsville on May 18th, one result
of which was the arrest and bring
ing to Hartford by Sheriff Keown of
Mrs. Fannie Mitchell and daughter,
Ruth Mitchell, accused of immoral
living. Each of the women had a
babe in arms in court and each
claimed that one c. w. whittier,
whose whereabouts are at present
unknown, was the father of both
babies. Ruth Mitchell is a hand
some young woman of Fl years and
unmarried. Her little baby's name
is Juanita-2R months old.
Mrs. Fannie Mitchell says her hus.
hand, Edwin Mitchell, died July 1,
1896. Since that time she says she
has become the mother of five child
rem, whose names, ages and fathers
las alleged by herself) are as fol-
lows:
Myrtle, aged 16-by Jas. Dunn.
Clyda, aged 14-by Powell Tab
ling.
Ida, aged 10-by Leslie Burdette.
Forest, aged by John To,and.
Herman, aged 4 months-by C.
w. Whittier.
At the conclusion of the trial
Ruth Mitchell swore out a warrant
for Charles or c. w. Whittier, accus-
ing him of being the father of her
baby. Three of the elder woman's
children were here with her-Clyda,
Forest and Herman. She has sur
rendered the two latter to the Ken
lucky Childrens Home in Louisville
and the girl Clyda will be given a
home by Mr.. John Mason, of Fords-
vile. No proceedings were entered
against the elder woman nor her
daughter Ruth.

The Best Quality or Seeds.
Odds Against Peace.

Lloyd's current rate to insure
against peace within this year is so
per cent.
During the latter part of March
the rate was 80 per cent.
That is to say the great London
underwriters figured the odds
against peace this year at to two
months ago and now figure the odds
at even.
There Is no sentiment in Lloyd's
dealings, and their information is
the best obtainable. They must
have reason to believe that the
chances of an early peace are more
than twice as good as they seemed
so days ago or they would not be
quoting the changed odds.
