LAST MINSTREL
 !. OF KENTUCKY ON WAY TO ENGLAND
JiIson Setters, "A, Says He Is Going Across to Play Some Tunes for Folks Over There
BY DELos SMITH

(United Press Stan Corrcsp0ndcnt)
 New York, Dec 10-O. P.) - Jilson Setters, "A, the last minstrel t, the Kentucky Mountains, paus- ed in New York to-day before sail- ing for England to give some mu- sic lessons, as taught back in Lost Hope Hollow. Ky.
 "I'm going to England to play some tunes for the folks over there", he said, "most likely I'll see Q king or a prince. I'm just tottin' my fiddle along and an extra shirt and a pair o jeans. Reckon won't be gone too long,"
 He cast a contemptuous glance at New York's tall buildings and crowded streets. but offered no comment. Pressed, he allowed:
 II been here azfore. Right smart little town. Reckon though I'd rather abide in Lost Hope Hollow
 Setters was born blind and saw for the first time four years ago when an Ashland, Ky. surgeon argued down the superstitions of the mountain folk and removed cataracts from his eyes. For the first time he sow his wife and ten children. t C
 "She was just like I reckoned she'd be. Hair all gold and ears soft as a fawn's."
 Setters is the last fiddler in the Kentucky Mountains to know the "anshunt tvnes," many that trace back to the time of Charles II, who was king of England when Setters ancestors settled in the mountains These tunes have been passed down from generation to genera ton and include such songs al "Prince Charley" "Lord Bakeman' "Lord Lovell,". "'The Noble Duke' all indicating origin in England during the reign of the Merry Prince. T.s,.
 He is being taken to England by Miss Jean Thomas. of the Amer ican Folk Song Society to appear before the National Festival of tho Folk Song in London. December 31. Miss Thomas was Setters dis coverer. His first excursion out ,of his native mountains was to come to New York to play in theater. He vowed then never to leave again.
 setters spoke wistfully of Christ mas. In the mountains they still follow the Julian calendar and Christmas comes on January 6.
 Reckon they'll miss me in Lost Hope Hollow come Christmastide" he said, "rcckon they'll miss my lonesome tunes." i.
 He was reminded that almost all people observe December 25. That. he said, was modern and not ac- cording to "anshunt" ways.
 'If you go out O doors at mid- night on January G, the cow-brutes will be a-laying down and the nags a-neighing soft to greet the new born king" he allowed. ~

Copyright, 1882, by United PreSs)
 Washington, Dec 10.-(UP)-- Economy fever-or something has caused suppression of the an- nual report of the clerk of the house as 0 public document.
 This report has been the source of information concerning employ ment of relatives and congressional junkets revealed in a series of United Press dispatches some months ago.
 Later 56 members of the house and five senators who had carried relatives on the poyroIl retired or were defeated for reelection. In many of these campaign fights, the clerks report was a handbook which was cited as authority for charges of payroll racketeering by congressman.
 Economy made 1t inadvisable to print, the report this year, mem- bers said. It would have cost $7,000 or $S,000. This would be about equal to the combined sal- Speaker Garner and several others were reluctant to discuss the mat ter. Finally Chairman Warren of the house accounts committee ex- piained what had shappened:
 "As an economy move the legis- lative appropriations subcommittee recommended against printing the report this year." Warren said. Tt would cost $7.O00 or $S;000 and the committee felt 1t was a useless expenditure which could be elim- mated. I didn't have anything to do with that. They sent the re-, port to me. and anybody can come to my committee office and look at It."
 Warren put through resolution last spring which opened the house payrolls to public inspection.
 The reports are so bulky and un- organized that the uniniated would be able to extract little informa- tion. Four months ago house clerks were unofficially tipped off not to get the report in shape for publication because Speaker Gar ner didn't think they would print 1t this year. Usually the report is if galley proof form by the time the house meets in December.
 It wasn't economy that time which caused some members to suggest that the report be surpris- ed. The subcommittee had South

HARVEST COSTS
Lien LAWS, ETC.

Bozeman, Mont, July 19.-To
provide for necessary items of har-
vesting expense, borrowers of crop
production loans will be permitted,
under certain conditions, to S not
TO exceed four cents per bushel
from proceeds of sales of wheat
and rye and two cents per bushel
from proceeds of sales of oats and
barley covered by mortgages to the
government, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Hyde announced in a letter
received July s, by J. G. Taylor,
director, Montana extension service.
The announcement continues,
"The laws of some states make
definite provision for priority of
claims against the crop, seed liens
having first priority, followed by
thresher's and labor liens. In those
states where the Crop Production
Loan office took a seed lien as
security for all or a part of the
loan, the payment of the seed lien
in full must be made before other
bills are paid.
"The use of not to exceed the
amounts above specified for pay
ment of bills for twine, fuel and
oil for harvesting, and necessary
repairs to harvesting machinery,
may precede the making of pay
ments on government loans cur
by crop mortgages (not seed liens)
whether for advances made in 1882
or previous years.
"The total allowance to any Dor
rover, however, must not exceed
actual expenditures for Irvine, re-
pairs to harvesting machinery, and
fuel and oil for harvesting. The
Secretary of Agriculture, however,
can be responsible for such ex-
.mption only as it concerns mort
cages given to secure liens to
him 0 crop production loans IN
1892 or previous years.
"All borrowers who have eXecut-
ed mortgages on their 1892 crops
to other parties should obtain the
consent Of such mortgages for ap
plication of any part of the pro
ceeds from the crop for payment
Of Irvine and similar supply bills
ahead of payments on such mort
cages"

Country Teams
Play Baseball

A rural correspondent reports a
ball game played at the Joe Zeller
place last Sunday between Dry
Fork and Wide Awake with Adolph
Krause and Bill Toavs as captains.
There was plenty of action in the
game which was won by the
Krause nine 35 to 26. Captain
Krause starred for his side with
three home runs. This just about
ties Babe Ruth's one7game record.
Louie Larson caught his first fly
fly in "a years. But of course Louis
has not played ball all the time.
After the game a lunch was ser-
we'd. Mr.. Myers had his violin and
things up a lot.
