TON.

The Lincoln county Republican
convention was most harmonious,
or ''cut and dried" affair as demo-
Gratis viewed it, here, Saturday af-
ternoon. Delegates were named to
the Eighth district convention, which

uninstructed on all matters except
the candidacy of George w. Gentry,
the well known colored leader of this

BIG CROWD AT LANCASTER.

A large crowd attended Lancaster
court Monday, but business was not
overly brisk There were lots of
mules on the market and while many
of them sold, the prices were hardly
up to those of several weeks ago.
James /. Hamilton sold % hybrids
at an average of $128 and w. B.
Burton a half dozen or so at S135
The latter also sold eight or ten
horses, rather ordinary ones, at an
average of sos. NJ. S. Baughman,
of this county, bought of Mr.. Hamil-
ton a pair of good four and five
year-old mules for S342.5O. W. R.
Cook, of Garrard, bought of Mr.. Tu-
dor a pair of four-year-old horse
mules for $500. W. B. Burton sold
a pair of aged mules for $3.50, and
pony for S97. There were probably
125 cattle on the market, but cattle
men did not go out to the pens, due
to some extent to the bad weather.
"Uncle Jimmy" Roberts, of Pulaski,
had the best pen. He disposed of a
bunch of calves at S26, six heifers at
S31 and 10 yearlings at $35. A few
choice two-yearrolds belonging to a
Boyle county man brought z lie.
Butcher stuff was slow at 4c to &C.

TO CINCINNATI MAY FESTIVAL
Pupil Will Be Sent Who Makes High
est Music Average for Year.

The Mozart Club made its second
appearance before the public in an
American Recital given in the High
School Auditorium last Friday eve
ming. The program was a most en-
joyable one from beginning to end,
and delighted audience greeted
each number with a round of APP
plause. Miss Gertrude Gaines, pres
ident of the Club, delivered an ad-
dress in a most pleasing manner.
This was followed by the report of
the Secretary, Miss Nellie Wilson
Hill, in which she reated the achieve
ments of the Club and it's hopes and
ambitions for the future, one of
which is to purchase a Victrola for
the school, All the members re-
sponded to Roll Call with beautiful
musical thoughts. Misses Frances
Embry, Annie VanArsdale Craig
and Annette Wearen delighted the
audience with well rendered piano
numbers. Miss Mary Bailey sang
very sweetly, "Rose on the Bud"
Miss Jean Paxton told very enter
tainingly and instructIvely, "What
American High Schools May Do to
Encourage a Wider Musical Gull
ture." Miss Matsy Grimes read the
Club Paper prepared by Miss Anne
Green Wood, which sparkled with
wit and humor Miss Bailey and
Mr.. Shirley Cover sang a beautiful
vocal duet, absent" The piano du-
cts "Alpine Storm" by Misses Nancy
Katherine Mckinney and Annette
Wearen and the violin solo by Mr..
Clarence Singleton accompanied on
the piano by Misses Matsy Grimes

oughly enjoyed. The grand climax
was reached in a number in which
all the club members took part. The
proceeds of this recital will be used
to send to the May Festival in Gin
cinnati the pupil who makes the high
est average for the year in all must
cal examinations.
Enough can not be said in praise
of Miss Ballou's untiring efforts to
raise the standard of music in STAN
ford and the auditorium should be
full to overlooking at each recital
not only for the encouragement of
teachers and pupils, but for the ben
eft that is to be derived from an eve-
ming of good and uplifting music.
There is no better way in which
America can give to her children
both knowledge and appreciation of
the best music than through the pub
he school

HOT TIMES IN
HOUSE AGAIN
When "Administration'' Machine
Put Over Substitute for Greene's
Sunday Closing Bill.

The Administration substitute for
the Greene antirscreen bill, one of
three measures drawn to remedy con-
ditions in Covington and Newport
due to wholesale and notorious vio-
lations of the Sunday closing law,
was adopted by q vote of SO to "a,
and passed by asvote of 70 to in
the House of Representatives late
Saturday. ThisS bill which passed
the House at the insistent demand of
Gov. Stanley, WHIP processes zeal
Gus desire to- enf9 the law, is the
same measure which has been de-
nounced by friends and opponents of
the original dealing with the Coving-
tOn-Newport situation, as a "brew-
cry substitute" The substitute was
adopted by combination of "wet'
and ''dry" votes, the former largely
predominating. Among those voting
for the substitute were Representa-
tives Gooch, of Lincoln, Kaufman,
of Garrard and Minor, of Boyle.
Representative Frank Greene, of
Carroll county, who had led the fight
for the drys during the session,
urged the house to vote down the
substitute and pass his original bill.
Greene attacked CIV. Stanley's sim
cerity in his avowals that he wants
to enforce the Sunday closing law.
"Gov. Stanley could close those sa-
looms today, if he wanted to without
a single additional law" he declared.
In support of this statement, he cited
the closing of saloons in Louisville
by Gov. Beckham
In this connection, Greene ex-
pressed indignation at charges that
Senator Beckham has had any con-
nection with agitation at Frankfort,
commenting especially upon the
pipeline" story which appeared in
certain papers.
Greene affirmed that there is line
also between Frankfort and the
breweries of Covington and New
port, but that it is larger than a pipe,
peirig as large as sewer. Speaking
further of Senator Beckham, he said,
the latter would be returned to the
Senate at his next race, by the big
gest majority anyone ever got in
Kentucky.
In general, Greene said that his
bills are strong enough, that they
will close the saloons, and that they
ought to pass. Gov. Stanley, he said,
would not dare to veto any one of
them. The substitute, on the other
hand, he declared to be toothless,
and drawn to satisfy the
brewers.
Attorney General Logan was given
the floor to defend the substitute In
response to a question from Greene,
Logan denied that the Governor has
power to enforce the Sunday closing
law. Under the legislation, he said,
the Governor has no right to call out
the militia in such cases as had been

Louisville by Beckham, he said, was

Beckham was enabled to close them
only after the Court of Appeals had
annulled an election, thereby permit
ting him to name new officials.
Gen. Logan denied any knowledge
of the substitute being favored by
brewery interests.
Greene sprang to his feet. "Why,
them" he demanded, "are representa-
tives of the brewers and distillers sit
ting in the galleries and cheering
your every utterance?"
Greene charged that liquor lobby
lists were in the galleries. He named
John Kloecker, Newport brewer; E.
H. Taylor, of Frankfort; Phil Grin
stead, and Lawrence Reichert.
Gen. Logan said he did not know
that these gentlemen were in the gal
leries, or that they were cheering
him. Smilingly, he remarked that
ne was not as well acquainted with
the whisky people as Greene appear
ed to be. He then accused Greene
of trying to fool the public
At this juncture, Mr. Greene COM
pletely lost his self-control, which
had been vanishing rapidly during
the debate. Springing to his feet
he advanced down the aisle, shouting
denunciations of the substitute and
its friends
He shouted that what Logan had
said was false and that Logan knew
it to be false when he spoke. Logan,
himself, he charged, was a deceiver,
seeking to delude the people, and I'M
worthy of the high position to which
he had been elected. Greene's an
ger was so intense that his words
were almost unintelligible The
House and galleries were in an up
roar.
When order had been restored and
Greene had been quoted, Gen. Lo-
gan remarked that Greene is ''pecu-
liar" and that he had not taken him
seriously. Chairman Grove ordered
the sergeant-at-arms, Jeff Bowman,
to take position near Mr.. Greene
and to restrain him if he sought to
make another impetuous outburst.
Upon Mr.. Greene's promise that such
drastic action would be unnecessary,
the order was rescinded. Gen. Lo-
gan concluded his speech by prom
ising, with all the emphasis at his
command that if the legislature
would pass the substitute, the saloons
of Covington and Newport would be
closed on Sunday.
Representative Perry, of Louis
vile, offered an interesting amend |
ment to the bill, increasing the state !
license on saloons from 5000 to ST.
900, which, he said, would not only /
close the saloons on Sunday, but on
week days too. 1t would also while |
the saloons lasted, put money in the |
state treasury at the rate of $3,000,- .
900 a year he declared. This amend !
ment was beaten by vote of 40 to |
36, among those voting against it be- |
ing Representative Gooch, of Lincoln
Kaufman, of Gar
rard and Representative Minor of !
Boyle, all three of whom voted with |
the Administrator forces on each |
phase of the Sunday closing bills.
The House defeated bill seeking !
to change the dog law so that each |
family could have one dog free from
taxation. Representatives Gooch, |
Kaufman and Minor voted against |
this, too.
