FOR CONGRESS.
We are authorized to announce that CHARLES
F. MONTGOMERY, of Casey County, is a candi
date to represent the Eighth District in the next
ConCTess, subject to the Democratic primary to be
held August 5, 1910.
The latest from Mexico, taken
from Sunday's Courier-Journal,
is as follows: Two serious ob
stacles were encountered in the
Juarez conference between Gen.
Scott and Gen. Funston and Gen.
Obregon yesterday, which great
ly increase the gravity of the
situation. According to reliable
information the Mexican con
ferees demanded that a definite
date for the withdrawal of the
American troops be fixed. The
American officers in return an
nounced they were not empow
ered to discuss this phase of the
situation at all. A report re
ceived at Juarez yesterday from
Col. Carlos Carranza announced
that he had established without
a doubt that Villa had died, but
had been unable so far to find
the body. His search for the re
mains will be continued. Ru
mors along the border that an
other raid had been made by
Villa bandits could not be con
firmed through any channel and
was denied by the American
army authorities No word -was
received yesterday from Gen.
Pershing.
Secretary Lansing, at a dinner
of the American Society of In
ternational Law, declared that
"the present titanic struggle of
the great empires of Europe has
shaken international law to its
foundation," and predicted a re
arjustment of ideas regarding
international law upon the res
tc -ition of peace.

British newspapers are replete
with comment on the situation
in Dublin, where a revolutionary
outbreak has occurred, there be
ing considerable criticism of he
Government for permitting con
ditions under which such a move
ment was possible.
Sir Roger Casement, the lead
er of the Separatist faction in
Ireland, who was captured on
the Irish coast while making an
attempt to land arms, may be
tried for high treason. The fact
that he has been taken to Lon
don for trial leads to this as
sumption. After conferring with James
W. Gerard, the American Am
bassador at Berlin, Chancellor
von Bethmann-Hollweg, with
Admiral von Holtezendorff, chief
of the Naval General Staff, left
for German headquarters to con
sult with Emperor William on
the reply to the American note.
Because of the Revolutionary
outbreak in Dublin, that city and
the county of Dublin have been
placed under martial law.
Progress is being made in put
ting down the revolt, the occupa
tion by the military of Liberty
Hall, headquarters of the rebels,
and of St, Stephen's Green,
which they had captured, being
announced by the British author
ities, who state also that steps
have been taken to arrest all
those concerned in the movement.
Troops have reached Dublin
from Belfast and England to aid
in enforcing Government author
ity. Berlin declares that the British
naval force which appeared off
the Belgian coast was prevented
by German torpedo boats from
proceeding with its work, which
apparently was a search for
mines and outlying buoys. The
German craft, although heavily
fired upon, were not damaged.
Because of indications of a
spread of the revolutionary move
ment in Ireland, martial law has
been proclaimed throughout the
island and additional troops
are being dispatched there. Mai.
Gen. Sir John Maxwell will com
mand them and has been given
plenary powers. In Dublin
street fighting continues and the
rebels still hold important pub
lic buildings.
The British submarine E-22
was sunk by German naval
forces on April 25. The an
nouncement was made today by
the German Admiralty, and its
truth is admitted by the British
official press bureau. Berlin al
so declares that on the same day
a British cruiser of the Arethusa
class was torpedoed by a German
submarine.
London announces that the
Norwegian bark Carmanian was
sunk by gunfire from a German
submarine off. the coast of Ire
land on Tuesday. The crew took
to the boats, one of which cap
sized; the other, with the cap
tain and nine men, reaching the
coast.
Berlin reports the repulse of
French infantry attacks west of
the Meuse in the Verdun region
and of British assaults north- of
the River Somme.
A German Zeppelin last night
attacked the port and railway de
pots of Margate, on the English
east coast, Berlin announces.
London, last night, reported Zep
pelins off the east coast, but in
dicated the probability that they
turned back without attempting
to penetrate inland on trie misty
night. -
There are signs of activity
along virtually the entire battle
front in the west, notably on
the southern end of the line
down to the Vosges. The great
struggle at Verdun is being con-J
tinued with little diminution in
vigor, however, with the Ger
man heavy guns almost contin
ually in play. -
The only infantry movement
in the Verdun region noted in
the last Paris statement was to
the north of Fort Vaux, north
east of Verdun, whsre . what is
alluded to as "a small attack"
was stopped immediately by the
French artillery.
In Lorraine the Germans are
feeling out the French positions.
Dispersal of a reconnoitering
party which attempted to reach
the French lines East of Le Mes
nil is reported by Paris, while
north of the Aisne German pat
rols were driven back with hand
grenades.
Two Russian hydroaeroplanes
are reported from Athens to
have raided Constantinople.

MOUNTAIN
wmt
NO. 2978
This celebrated horse is making the season at my barn, at
Hatcher, Taylor County, and serves mares for the sum of $25.00 to
insure a living colt.
Mountain Dare is a beautiful bay with white stockings, 15 hands
high, and weighs 1185 pounds. He was sired by Chester Dare No.
10, his dam was Dianh Rose No. 4316, second dam by Chester Dare.
He was one of the leaders at the State and Blue Grass Fairs last
year. One of his colts won championship at Madison Square Gar
den, New York, last year. . .

erally realized. A few white
hogs in a bi drove of black ones
may, by their presence, detract I
almost as much from the, value
of the drove as they individually
are worth. In a drove of mixed
colors differences in size are
much more apparent than in
a drove of one color. If there is
a small white hog he will surely
be noticed, but if there is a small
black one in the same drove he
may be overlooked.
Hogs should be shipped so as
to reach the market in the morn
ing in time to be watered and fed
before the best part of the mar
ket is over. This time varies
with prevailing conditions, but
is between 7 and 11 a. m.
In order to have them at their
best on the market, the animals
should not be overfed and should
not have laxative feed' before
shipping. Care must be taken
also not to allow them to drink
too much water. It is better to
give them a moderate ration of
dry feed before starting them to
market and give them some ear
corn in the car.
The car should be well bedded
with wheat straw in winter and
with sand in summer. Wheat
straw is better than oat straw
for bedding in a car in which
hogs are to be shipped, as the
animals will not perspire so
much, which causes them to be
come wet and steaming and de
tracts much from their appear
ance. Sand in summer is cooler
than straw.,- When arriving at
cne market the hogs should be
dry lively and not too gaunt.

In order to market to the best
advantage, either in carload lots
on the open market or in small
droves to the country shipper or
to the local packer, hogs ought
to be made to appear at their
best. They should be well bred
so as to be of good form and all
be of the same size, consequent
ly should have been farrowed as
nearly as possible at the same
time. They ought to show as
much thrift, quality and finish
as possible-and all be of the same
color.
The question of color is of
greater importance than is -gen-
