THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1891.
Hhrk's wishing our many readers and
the reat of humanity a merry Christmas
and then a happy New Year.
Will Foster, Hicks, Wiggins and the
rest of the weather prophets please tell
us what has become of that snow that
was to cover the earth Christmas Day?
TnK appropriations made the Council at
Lexington for the present fiscal year will
exceed the collections by $10,000. They
are high-flyers up there and pretty free
with the people's money.
JIrs. Laura January Wkihi advertised
extensively to give a lecture at Louisville,
but made it convenient to keep away
from the hall until after the audience
had disappeared. She advertises well,
but never lectures.
We are disappointed in Speaker Crisp.
Unless he adopts a different course from
the one he has pursued of late he will
soon divide the Democratic party into
two very bitter factions and destroy all
hopes of a National victory next year.
That election clerk at Louisville who
doctored the returns and attempted to
elect a man whom the people had not
chosen will likely land iu the peniten
tiary. Four indictments have been re
ported against him. The penitentiary is
the proper place for all such rascals.
TnK Adams Express Company has been
" in it " the past few days. The handling
of Christmas gifts has added thousands
to its cash receipts, and its late crooked
ex-President Hoey has been compelled to
turn over to it a million dollars worth of
real estate and securities.
That clever writer and pleasant gentle
man Harry Summers, editor of the Eliza
bethtown News and President of the
Kentucky Press Association, has been
called up higher, and will keep the readers
of the Louisville Times posted on doings
at the National Capital this winter.
A writer in the Lexington Leader
gives the Republicans of Kentucky some
plain talk. He says the 65,000 negro
voters of the Commonwealth must be
recognized at the next State convention
of the G. O. P. or they will be felt at the
polls. The colored leaders are manifest
ing a strong disposition to force the party
to ,'ive them some of the " pie."
Millkrsdi'rg people made a grand kick
-when the Kentucky Wesleyan College
wa. removed a few years ago, but they
will be wanting somebody else to give
them a good kicking before long, if they
don't ceae their outrageous treatment of
ministers of the Gospel. They have a
female college there yet, but they'll find
that parents won't send their daughters to
a place where such disgraceful doings as
rotten-egging preachers are winked at
and encouraged.
Coi-ovkl Geo. L. Willis, Frankfort cor
respondent of the Ixniisville Times and
Danville Advocate, is very much con
cerned about the organization of the
llou-e of Representatives of the next
Legislature, and is wastinc a good deal of
ink and paper on the " ten mongiel Dem
ocrats, who want to get into the caucus."
" The game is not worth the candle,"
Brother Willi?. It wouldn't be a Demo
cratic caucus, if every Tom, Dick and
Harry elected on any other ticket were
allowed to participate.
The State Journal says $30,000 wad
spent on the streets of Newport this year,
and that it would be almo-t impossible
for one to And any proof of it. The
Journal adds that that sum i annually
dumped in the gutters by the authorities
down there, and suggests that the city
would save money if she would issue
bonds and pave the stieets with asphalt,
which would guarantee fine thorough
fares and add to the value of her prop
erty. What is true of Newport on this
subject is true of many other Kentucky
cities. It is almost throwiug money
away to use it in putting limestone mac
adam on the streets.
The representatives of the third-class
cities failed to assemble last week at Hen
derson, and are now called upon to meet
at Frankfort January 4. "Unless Bowling
Green and Frankfort succeed in having
themselves ranked a little ahead of their
census standing as they are probably
justly entitled to do the class will only
include Paducah, Henderson and Owens
boro," says the Louisville Courier-Journal.
What's the matter with Maysville,
we should like to know? The enumer
ation, now boing made, will undoubtedly
give our city a population of 8,000. The
C.-J. has overlooked tho fact that Jlays
villo 1ms " growed" considerably of late.
Nashville, Dec. 24. The exact date
of the return of the convicts to the
mines at Bricerille and other points in
cast Tennessee has not as yet oeen de
cided upon. The lessees are anxious
that the convicts be returned at once,
but the state authorities are of the opin
ion that should they take steps to send
the prisoners to the mines before the
holidays trouble would undoubtedly en
sue. Warden Wade says the miners
were paid off Saturday and are now
awaiting information from the capital
city as to the date of the return of the
convicts, and would no doubt givo them
an unwelcome reception, and therefore
nothing will t done until after Jan. 1.
For the Children.
Our readers will notice the advertise
ments in these columns of Chamberlain
& Co., Des Moines, Iowa. From personal
experience we can say that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has broken up bad colds
for our children and we are acquainted
with many mothers in Centervillo who
would not be without it in the house for
a good many times its cost and are rec
ommending it every day. Centervillo
(S. D.) Chronicle and Indev.
Twenty-five cent, 50 cent and SI bot
tles for sale by Power & Reynolds.
"I do not desire tho Democratic nom
ination and shall certainly make no effort
to got it. I am satisfied with my lot. I
am happy in my family, am making a
comfortable living, have had all the honor
that attaches to the Presidency. I have
been twice nominated by my party for
that office, and .that is enough to satisfy
my ambition as a party man. The office
is a thankless one. No matter how ad
ministered, criticism will follow, and as
for myself, I am out of tho race, unless
the nomination should be1 tendered me
by a unanimous vote without the slight
est scheming to secure such a nomina
tion." A close friend of ex-President Cleve
land reports him as having expressed
himself as above. The country learned
long ago that he is not a wire-puller, but
ho will not have to do "the slightest
scheming" to get the nomination next
year.
Two Big Judgments Against the C.
andO.
Two big railroad cases were decided in
the United States Court at Covington this
week. One was by compromise and one
by the jury. In the suit of Charlotte
Theobold'8 administrator against the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, Ken
tucky Central Railroad and the South
Covington and Cincinnati Street Rail
road, a compromise was made. The total
amount to be paid is 6,250. Of this the
street car company pays ?3,750 and the
Chesapeake and Ohio $2,500. Tho rail
road and street car companies are to pay
all the costs in the case, which will run
up to $250 more.
In the case of Walter Sine's adminis
trator against the K. C. and C. and O.
Railroads, the jury found for the plaintiff
in the sum 'of $5,000. The verdict was
against the Chesapeake and Ohio the
case against the K. C. being dismissed.

Same Old Game.
Says the Louisville Times: "Mrs.
Laura January Webb was advertised to
lecture at Liederkranz Hall last Monday
evening on ' Woman's Opportunity.' A
fair audience assembled, but Mrs. Webb's
absence was painfully conspicuous to
those who had the enterprise in charge.
A few recitations served to kill time and
keep the people in their seats until
nearly 9 o'clock. Still Mrs. Webb was
missing and the audience had to be dis
missed. " Just before the lights were turned out
the missing Mrs. Webb came to
view. She explained that her dress
maker had disappointed her, and that
was the reason she hadn't kept her
engagement. Just why a new gown
should be deemed essential, in any part,
to the success of the lecture, I confess
myself unable to state."
For the Fanner.
California will put 2,000,000 boxes of
raisins on the market this year.
A farmer in Texas planted 11,000 pe
can trees on 400 acres, and expects a re
turn of $60,000 from them in six years.
The Salter Futurity, a purse of $7,777,
for the get of stallions nominated, to trot
as two-year-olds the summer of 1894, at
Maysville, will close for sires February 1,
1892.
Adams County, OImo, paid hej farmers
$403.50 the past year for sheep killed by
dogs. This was paid out of the dog tax,
and she has 1,SS4 still in the fund. In
Brown County, the dogs were more de
structive, as sheep claims amounting to
$515.10 were allowed a few days ago.
One farmer put in a claim for $234.60 for
sheep killed and another farmer's claim
amounted to $107. That's the right way
to handle the matter. Tax the worth
less curs to pay for the damage they do.

New York, Dec. 24. Mrs. Ada
Thorpe Loftus, who, it is alleged, came
here from Europe with the avowed in
tention of killing President Harrison,
has been adjudged insane and was yes
terday taken to Bloomingdale lunatic
asylum. Dr. Douglass, of Bellevue hos
pital, says she is suffering from a type
of insanity similar to that of Guitean.
ONI OF A VANISHING RACE.
Ee Iluots Over Wide Areas and Is at
noma Wherever There Is Wilderness.
The professional hunters and trappers
who at ono time comprised the whole ol
the white inhabitant class in this sec
tion are becoming so few that a real old
time solitary woodsman who plunges
into the forest and divests himself of
human companionship is becoming a
rare sight. Joe Thomas is one of the
best examples that remain of these men,
and a study of his characteristics is in
teresting. Thomas is a man of about forty. He
is slightly below medium height and is
not heavily built He appears like a full
blooded negro, although he says that his
mother was a half breed Indian. He has
sparse, tightly curled whiskers and does
not look like a Nhnrod and a mighty
man among coons and deer. Thomas
follows as near the life of the red man
as any one can in these days, and has an
antipathy to human society, though he
is nothing of a misanthrope, und talks
well to any one who questions him.
In the summer time Thomas works at
whatever he can get to do about the
cities in this vicinity and through to
Uluo. When the squirrel season opens
ho is in Ohio, and puts in the first few
weeks of the autumn shooting squirrel.
As the deer season opens, he emigrates
northward, and lor the rest of the win
ter lives the life of the solitary hunter,
shunning human habitations and sleep
ing in the woods in the most inclement
weather. His domestic outfit consists of
a tent, blankets and a small stove, and
he declares that he is more contented in
the woods than he would be in town.
When the night is cold he lights his fire,.
chains his dog up in the tent and sleeps.
While tho deer run, Hopkins follows
them tirelessly, and when night over
takes him on the trail he lies down in
the woods to sleep, confident that the
deer is as tired as he and will not move
during the night unless disturbed, and
in the morning will be so stiff that the
second day's chase will be a compara
tively easy matter.
After the deer season is over Thomas
starts for the open, and traps skunks and
otter and all other fur bearing animals
for the rest of the winter. At all times
he is ready in cose old Zip Coon comes
racking around, and his dog he alleges
to be one of the best coon dogs in the
country. The animal is a liver and
white hound, slightly larger than a fox
hound, and with no more fat on him
than is required to grease his joints.
Thomas said that the dog got him more
than fifty dollars' worth of coonskins in
one season, and he would not part with
him for three times that amonnt. Joe
tells a story to illustrate the sagacity of
the dog.
He says that one winter the dog treed
a coon in a big tree. Joe always carries
climbing irons, and he skinned up the
tree. He followed the coon out on a
branch and shook him off, and he heard
him squeal as the dog nabbed him.
When Joe got to the bottom of the tree
there was no coon in sight and no dog.
He heard the dog running and called to
him; the dog came out of the bushes a
moment and then ran back. Joe fol
lowed and found that the dog was run
ning around a skunk, keeping it from
going into its hole. Mr. Dog did not
want to interview the skunk closely, but
the skunk was not sure of that, and ho
kept his eye on the dog, circling around,
and the dog was gradually getting him
away from his hole. Joe killed the
skunk, but he could find no trace of the
coon, and concluded that the dog had
lost it.
The next morning he reproved the dog,
saying: "You didn't do right about that
coon last night; you lost him. Now you
go get him." The dog looked kind of
ashamed and moved off. Joe followed
him, and they went back to the place
where the trouble occurred on the pre
vious night. After nosing around a
while the dog unburied the coon from
where he had buried it, having been
afraid to leave it while he went after the
skunk, so he buried it, leaving the tail
stickiug out of the snow so he could find
it again.
Some one asked Thomas if he was not
afraid that the bears would eat him some
night. He said that the only thing that
made him mad was that the bears kept
away from him and didn't give him a
chance. Joe says that the houses are
getting altogether too thick, and when
he meets up with a house he wants to
get as far away from, it as he can and as
quick as he can. Oil City Derrick.

Tree Toads In Demuud.
Tree toads are in big demand by young
doctors and chemists, who are anxious
to learn something of the circulation of
the blood. The taree toad has legs that
are almost transparent. The young doc
tor takes the leg, spreads it out under a
microscope and can see tho blood cor
puscles chasing each other here and
there in tho veins of the leg of the toad.
We sell hundreds of tree toads for this
purpose every month. Interview 'In
