Many houses are being given new coats of paint this fall and the fad seems to be outlandish and nameless colors.

The funeral of Mrs. Chas. Webster

as private, attended only by the imdiate relatives and close friends of the deceased.

Mrs. Sarah Dunbar, who lives with her

sou

in-law, W. W. Morgan, cele

brated her 91st birthday, Sunday, in a becoming manner. The Red Men gave an entertainment at their hall on Friday evening. They employed. Joseph Bossert, a tragedian, for that evening and an excellent programme was given.

The congregation of the Christian church voted Sunday morning to discontinue the evening services at that church during the continuance of the union services by Rev. Ostrum.

A tic-counting contortionist, strandled after the Veedersburg street fair was in town Monday, and gave an exhibition that evening on the court house corner to raLsenough money to get out of town.

James Mahorney, after a tour of I the west and a view of the business 'outlook has decided to locate at jonesboro, Arkansas, where he will go into the lumber business, handling oak dimension stuff.

Prosecutor Reeves cards the press calling attention to the work he has done, and the amount saved the -county by not calling grand juries, etc. William desires his fences to be in good repair in the ides of 1900.

The need of a large public hall was made apparent last Sunday night I whan the First Presbyterian church overflowed and filled the Methodist church and enough people went home to have filled two moresuch buildings.

Friday night Crawfordsville Gommaudery K. T. was inspected by the grand officers, and the occasion was 1 made much of, as there was a large

S attendance, and all had good time. The commadery was found strictly up to date.

According to the Danville Press, there was at least one young man in Danville who had some interest in the Oakie Hanna Castleton divorce case, a young shoe salesman who had been a flame of hers in the old days before she fell in with the hound pup fancier of Ohio, and whom she had cast adrift.

The Death Sentence. The wretched prisoner who listens to the reading of his death warrant is not more surely doomed than the man who is threatened with dread consumption and fails to take the right method to repulse its attack.

How they Carry it.

HOW

some people carry their religion is well illustrated by Evan&ehst Ostrum. He says: "You have .seen the little green flag on the rear end of the last coach of the fast passenger train. It is grimed with smoke, discolored by rain and sun, whipped into ribbons by the wind, it can only tremble in the wind as the train sweeps on, So is the religion of many people, it flutters at the rear of every thing else, informing the world that they have it still. 'See it flutter. Iv'e got it.'"

Broke the Rule.

SUNDAY

shaving has not been al

lowed by the barbers of this city for some time. Last Sunday Dan Lipscomb broke the rule right in tle face of the other barbers, and rignt merrily he jingled the dimes he took in from his unlawful work until gobbled by the police on complaint of his competitors. Daniel should be made an example of. hen any set of men resolve to obey the law they should be aided in every possible way.

Trying a New Tack.

OW the damage case of Thomas Burk against Dr. Eddingfield has assumed a new phase.

George D. Hurley has been appointed administrator of the estate of the late Mrs. Burk, and the suit of Burk against the physician has been withdrawn, and one for damages in the same amount has been filed by the administrator. It is thought that abetter case can be made by the administrator than by the husband.

Death of W. T. Lee.

DIED,

at Brown's Valley, Saturday morning, Wilson T. Lee, at the good old age of 80 years. The deceased was a well known and universally respected citizen of this county, and was a brother of the late Col. John Lee, of this city. The funeral occurred on Sunday at 2 clock, from Uniyn .baptist church, near Waveland.

Denies the Allegation.

would seem that Dr. J. O. Dingman is not yet out of the woods on the charge of pilfering com. The original information was dismissed and another filed. Prosecutor Reeves is getting wrathy and will hereafter dismiss all informations not brought by him or one of his deputies. So the case has not ended as reported

Reception.

LARGELY attended reception was tendered Dr. W. P. Kane, the new president of the college, at Yandes Hall on last Friday evening. The rain was coming straight down all evening, yet the reception was a success, as a great many citizens braved the storm to give the new president a hearty welcome to our city.

Retrial by thej Court.

TTE

celebrated case involving the title to the Hutton farm: cause entitled Samuel Hutton et al vs. Nelson Cunningham et al. was tried again this week before Judge Kent, of Frankfort. The trial is a tedious one, involving many law points, and the court will not hand down his decision for several days.

Death of Hrs. T. H. Palmer. RS. T. H. PALMER, wife of Judge Palmer, of FrankLrt, died at her home in that city on

Thursday of last week, from

heart disease. Mrs. Palmer was well known in this county, especially among the Primitive Baptists, of which body she had been a lifelong member.

To the ordinary man and Woman DO conception of the torture to which the poor, unfortunate goose is put could possibly be formed.

The geeee when about 9 months old are taken from the pastures and placed .in an underground cellar, where broad, slanting stone slabs stand in rows, and are bound fast to tlie tables. They are literally crucified.

Feet, wings and bodies are spread out and bound by bands, so that only the neck is left free. As may be imagined, the animal struggles with all its might against this stretching, till, after days of vain endeavor to free itself from the bands and its position, its powers of resistance are overcome, and a dull resignation, broken only by its low cries, takes possession of it. Two months must pass away before death brings relief.

The animals are meanwhile crammed with dumplings made of dough of buckwheat, chestnuts and stewed maize. Every two hours, six times a day, they receive from three to five dumpling pills, which in time become so sweet to the tortured creatures that they stretch their necks to be crammed.

The most difficult task is to determine the right moment for death. Those who die of their own accord are lost to the liver factory, therefore a kind of study is needed to see when the cup of agony is brimming full and the liver is ripe for taking. The bodies of such zipe ones are like pumpkins— where ordinarily fingers are bnried in flesh and fat nothing bat skin and bone are found.- The livers have absorbed all the strength and juices.

POLITICAL GENERAL*.

Annr Disorganized by Placing Rtak tn competentg In Command. Political generals are a nuisanc* Why should President McKinley creak more of the nuisance instead of abatina it? McKinley has sent the names of Jot of civilians to the senate to be confirmed, and the men bearing theM names are to be appointed to high positions in the army over the heads of deserving and experienced officers nave spent their lives in the service the country. This is all wrong. Tht wnate can do no better and no more patriotic thing than fco refuse confirm* |ion. If Mr. McKinley has political debts to pay, let him pay them in sotnf other maunur.

It is disorganizing tc the army tt plaoe these rich political nobodies Is command. It iB a disgrace and a dan* ger. Political pull, wealth, the fad that a young man is the son of a famoui father, do not fit him for a place of comBiand in the army.

WORLD'S SUPPLY OF GOLD,

Inadequate to Furnish Money For the I* creasing Demand* of Ruilneii,

When defeated in their attempts tt overthrow the quantitative theory, the gold men fall back on their last do tense and claim that, whether that theory applies or not, as we have sufficient gold already lack of it cannot acconal for the fall of prices. It is true that the annual production of gold is now about double what it was in 1873. But hai the increase been sufficient to keep up with the enlarged demand for it, due to Increasing business and to supply tin nations that have gone over to a gold basis since 1873 and to fill the void caused by demonetizing silver.

It is not fair to assume, as the-goM men do, that the entire annual product Of gold goes into coinage, for it is undisputed that more than one-half is usel In the arts. Nor is it fair to take th« •world's annual ooinage, for much oi this is reobinage. But if every ounoi of gold has been coined and gone intu circulation it would not have begun

furnish money enough to keep up with the increased demand due to increase is business and population. Even the increase in gold and silver together would not have been sufficient

Gold Standard.

The shrinkage of values in the Untied States since 1873 has not been lea than $30,000,000,000, or eight timei tho cost of the civil war, as shown bj Senator Chandler and others. But even this enormous sum does not measure thi whole loss. Factories have been closed and millions of men thrown out of employment whose labor would have inCreased the wealth of the United State! to the extent of $5,000,000,000 nnnn|. ly, as estimated by that eminent polifr leal economist Henry Carey Baird al Philadelphia. An amount of interest has been paid upon the national debt oi the United States greater than the original principal, and also three-fifths oi the debt itself, and yet the remaiuing two-fifths requires more of the produot of industry to cancel it than the whoi* Aebt did originally at the prices the* ••gigfrinj

The Irrepressible Small Boy.

This is a true story, and it really bapjyjned in a New York family. It look* as if it might be an old story brought up to date or renovated for the occasion, but it is exactly as the small boy Arranged it and not to the edification of his family The small boy was very fond of ice cream. It never cloyed his palate. It was with the same delight that be saw it each time brought on the table, and upon each of these times he showed the exuberance of his feelings by crying in rapturous tones "Oh-o-ol Ice cream! Ice cream I Ice cream 1' much to his mamma's annoyance. "People will think we never have ice cream or anything else to eat." she said to her son one day. "Now, we are going to have company to dinner tonight, and I don't want you to say a word when the ice cream is brought on-" The small boy promised. He really was a good little boy, and he intended to mind. But when the ctfeam was brought on the old feeling of rapture was so strong that be forgot entirely and cried out as usual. Then he remembered and stopped short, looking very repentant. He had not intended to call out, and his mother was mortified. He changed his tone entirely: "We have ice cream almost every night." he remarked carelessly.—New York Times.

He Was Careful of His Voice.

Brignoli, the famous tenor, was very susceptible to flattery, and it is said that once in New York, when the orchestra vigorously applauded one of his favorite songs, he was so touched that be came down to the footlights and invited them all to a champagne supper at the Everett House. The supper cost him $500.

Brignoli was very careful of his voice and was terribly afraid of drafts. It was once stated that during the winter it always took him three-quar-ters of an hour to get from his room to the street.

First, he would, on leaving his room, pace the hall for ten minutes to get acclimated. He then descended to the lobby, where the temperature waa a little lower, and spent 20 minutes there. He then ventured to the vestibule, from which the door opened into the street. He wonld parade the vestibule for 16 minutes, occasionally opening -the door \to let in a little cold air. Being now accustomed to a cool temperature, he wonld button up his ooat aid sally ?ortb.—National Magazine.
