ers say it was the greatest market for
mules ever seen in Richmond, with
more mules offered and more buyers
her than ever known before. The
highest price paid during the day was
$500. If any went over that figure
the Daily Register hasn't heard of it.
Phelps Cobb. of Boyle county, bought
one from John Park for $500. She
was a three-year-old. w. F. Park
sold another of the same kind to buy
er Mann at the same price. Hybrids
with class all sold well, but the poorer
sort did not find ready sale, and many
had to be taken home. Bowen G. Fox

dealers in this part Of the state
bought in all about 10 head, paying
up to $275 for them.

which is composed of the churches of

resentatives from each of the church.
es. The vital point under considera-
tion was the establishment of a Com.
munity House for Richmond. Such
an enterprise would have as its mis-
sion to furnish amusements for the
young men and women of Richmond,
similar to the Y. M. C. A. work, in
having reading room, husic room,
gymnasium, etc. All agreed it is
badly needed in Richmond, and should
be built at an early date. It was an
nounced Sunday that union meeting
will be held in the First Christian
church next Sunday evening, at which
time the matter will be presented to
the people generally.

VIII Do Best They Can
With Railroads, Anyway
(By Associated Pressl

Washington, March 5-Bulletin =
The government has no immediate
intention of relinquishing control Of
the railroads as result of the failure
of Congress to appropriate funds for
the railroad administration, Director
General Hines stated today. Hines
explained that every effort will be
made to continue operations as usual
to avoid laying of employees and to
finance the railroads through private
loans or through advances from the
war finance corporation. He did not
contemplate raising rates as a means
of dealing with the financial predica-
ment. He said although the railroads
administrations program of capital
expenditures for extensions, improve
ments and new buildings may be mod
flied, the government will try to con-
tue the projects planned through the
next few months.

Senators Asked To Secure
Hun Cannon For Richmond

Petitions with 1000 signatures on
them will soon be sent to Senators
Beckham and Martin requesting them
to secure a captured cannon to be
placed in the court house yard at
Richmond. Mrs. Jonah Wagers is at
the head of the movement and she is
meeting with much encouragement. A
bevy of girls will probably take the
petitions around very soon, and it is
expected that the required number of
names can be secured in an hour or
so. The petition will read as follows:
In view of the part played by the
citizens of Madison county, especially
our splendid boys in khaki, in the
great war just closing, and as a mem
orial Of the overwhelming victory
achieved, we the undersigned citizens
of Richmond and Madison county,
Kentucky, hereby petition the Hon. J.

SENT HIM DRINK
WITH REAL KICK IN 1T
And Mabel Jones of Color, Now Faces
Charge of Attempting To Poison
Will Roye With Whisky.

A rather crude attempt to poison a
man is charged against Mabel Jones,
"lady of color" living on Four Mile
avenue, who was held to the grand
jury in police court yesterday. The
victim of her wrath was viii Roye,
and instead of slipping him bunch
of knockout drops or something that
might work subtlety, she dosed up a
good sized drink of whisky literally
with caibolic acid.
The concoction was on exhibit at
police headquarters and to look at it
from the outside with the cork in the
bottle, a regulation pint size flask, it
looked innocent enough. One Whit,
however, and anyone whose "smeller''
was not altogether to the bad, would
have "got" it. The woman denied
putting the poison in the whisky OF
that there was any in it DR.. E. H.
Ellis of the Richmond Drug Company,
had analyzed the stuff, however.
Mabel is alleged to have sent the
drink to Roye by Will Smith, also
colored, after warning Smith not to
take drink of it. 1t was suggested
that she thought Roye would be drunk
and wouldn't detect the carbolic acid,
but he wasn't, and he did, and Mabel
will have to face the next grand jury
and then a trial in circuit court in all
probability on charge of attempting
malicious poisoning. Meanwhile she
will be the guest of Jailer Burgess un-
til court convenes in May, as she was
unable to give 5000 bond.

BRIDGES REELECTED
FOR TWO YEARS MORE
City School Term viii Be Extended
Two Weeks Because of Flu Epi-
demic and Time Lost.

At the regular meeting of the City
Board of Education Tuesday night,
Supt. D.. w. Bridges, was reelected
for term of two years, and the elec,
ton of teachers will take place at the
next meeting of the board. Supt.
Bridges has maintained the high
standard of Caldwell High School
since he has been at their head and
his many friends will be glad that he
is to remain in the post he fills so ac-
ceptably.
The Board decided to extend the
regular school term two weeks to
compensate for the time lost during
the flu epidemic.
A suggestion found favor that in
the future the regulation cap and
gowns be provided for the senior class
to wear, just designating those who
are on the eve of graduation.

port of net income.

the profits earned. Or accrued, who
were in business for any part of the
year 1918, must render a partnership
report. While there is no tax on
partnerships they are required by law
to make the report.
Any individual, corporation or part
nership, required by this Act to make
return must file same with him on or
before March Is, 1919, or subject
themselves to penalty not exceeding
81 900.
