AN EYE TO BUSINESS.

According to the story of Ernest
Mayfield, who was recently arrested
by the sheriff of Daviess county on a
warrant from the Ohio county court
charging him with shooting Dennis
Hoagland, the Daviess county sheriff
has an eye to business. Mayfield
alleges that after his arrest the sheriff
informed him that he would have to
pay the expenses of the trip to Hart
ford, and claims he did pay the sheriff
$500. This is the first instance of
which we have heard where a man
arrested for crime was required to
pay his own expenses to court for
trial

PETIT JURY EXCUSED.

Judge Slack has asked sheriff
Bratcher to notify the petit jurors

On account of the busy season with
the farmers the Judge thought it bet

VERY LITTLE POLITICS.

There is very little boiling in the
political pot in Kentucky just now,
but what little there is is conferred in
the senatorial race. Senator James
will have opposition for the nom
ination of his party, in the person of
ex-Congressman Kimball, of Licking
ton, but there is some anx-
iety felt about the Senator's
physical condition He has been in
Baltimore hospital for several
weeks, and despite roseate reports of
his improvement he remains in the
hospital.
nomination.
For the first time in the history of
Republican politics in Kentucky
there is a contest for the nom
ination for United States senator.
This condition comes about because
of hopeful feeling of electing a
DIR. Ben l.. Bruner, of Louisville, and
Judge b. ]. Bethurum, of Somerset,
are the contestants. DIR Bruner
goes into the race handicapped with
the opposition of his home county,
Jefferson, and if mountain counties
stand by Judge Bethurum, as it is
claimed they will, the contest will be
an unequal one.

ASSOCIATION DISBANDS.

With the Grand Master, Simon
Smith, and Supreme Locker-Keeper,
Gene McCulloch, called to military
service, the Kentucky Frog Hunters
Association has temporarily disband-
ed. Grand Master Smith confided
the signs and pass words to the writ
er before boarding the train for
Camp Taylor, Wednesday morning,
with instructions to keep the gig, the
great seal of the association, FURNISH
ed and sharp. This organization is
famous on the waters of Rough
river from the mouth of Caney Creek
to the confluence of the waters of
Rough River with those of Adams
Fork. For many years these famous
frog hunters have broken the mid
night stiffness of these parts with
the slow, stealthy stroke of the dingy
boat oar, and pierced the inky dark
ness with the light of the carbide
lamp.
The coming of the members of
the Association was the annual event
for the sport-loving citizens of the
territory visited, and many was the
citizen who toasted his feet at it's
congenial evening camp fires. Simon
and Gene are princes of good fell
lowship and many will be the pray
ers to go up from the citizens of the
frog lands for their safe return from
the war fields of France.

THIEF ROBS STORE.

A thief put one over on the high
cost of living, here Monday night. He
entered the store of the American
Cooperative Association sometime
during the night and helped himself
to provisions. Among the articles
missing were about fifty pounds Of
sugar, four sacks of -four and dozen
bars of soap. Perhaps other articles
were stolen but those mentioned were
the only ones the manager could feel
certain were missing. The thief en-
tered the building by window, the
lock on which had been broken for
several days.

CRAZY MAN SUICIDES.

Tom Kannady, of Coolsprings, who
was adjudged lunatic about a month
ago. and sent to the asylum at Hop
kinsville, committed suicide at that
institution Saturday, by hanging him
self. His body was brought home,
Monday, for burial. Kannady's con-
dition was believed at the time he
was sent to the asylum to be very
serious, and his friends did not ex-
pect him to return home alive.

Paris, June 25.-Austrian losses
totaled 100000 men, according to
the Secolo, of Milan. Certain enemy
divisions lost two-thirds of their eff
fectives.
A dispatch to the Matin from Tur-
in says that the rout of the Austrians
is complete and that the Piave has
carried away many Austrian dead.
Italian cavalry, it is added, have ad-
vanced beyond the eastern bank Of
the river.
French newspapers continue to ac-
claim the Italian victory. Hope is ex-
pressed that Gen. Diaz, profiting by
the Generalization of the enemy will
not confine the fighting to local &C
lions, but will strike out boldly into
an, offensive and transform the Aus.
trian retreat to the Piave into de-
cisive victory.
Several newspapers wonder wheth-
er the Germans will rush help to the
Austrians by transferring forces !iom
the western front. L'Homr.e Libre
believes that such action is scarcelv
probable, as EMPEROR William and
Won Hindenburg are convinced they
cannot obtain a decision except on
the front from Switzerland to the sea.
London, June 25.-The extent to
which the Italian pursuit of he Aus
TRANS across the Pave has developed
is not known here, and no detailed
reports have been received bringing
events up to date.
A statement current in Londcn
yesterday that the Italians had
taken $4,000 prisoners is said by the
morning newspapers to be confirm
ed by the italian embassy. The same
statement is attributed to Premier
Orlando by the Rome correspond
ent of the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany.
The same correspondent quotes the
Giornale D'Italia as saying that the
troops of Archduke Joseph and Gen.
Wurm are virtually surrounded and
must surrender or be annihilated.
The view in military circles is that
the defeat of the Austrians is SO
crushing that it will be impossible
for the enemy to repeat his often
sive on a serious scale for several
weeks. One of the causes for the
Austrian disaster is said to have
been faulty judgment in placing
their reserves, by which they failed
to be brought up at a critical mo-
ment to meet the clever strategy Of
the Italians.
So strongly is the Piave line now
held by the Italians, say military
critics, that it will be impossible for
the disorganized enemy armies to re-
take it, and there is not the slightest
fear that they again will try to
cross the river. 1t is said they stalk
ed everything on this offensive and
threw all their forces in it. Thirty
seven divisions have been identified
as being in the battle.
