esteem by thousands of Kentuckians who know her is to wed Mr Wm Cromwell Chief Cleric of the Sen ate The question has arisen as to whether her change of name will prevent her continuing in office If Miss Guy desires to complete her term as librarian THE BEE trusts that nothing may be interposed to prevent TilE bulldozing tactics of Mr Bronston Mr Goebel and others in the State Senate has aroused the just indignation of citizens throughout Kentucky irrespective of party affiliation The Courier Journal gives vent to the following denunciation It would be an admirable idea to have Mr Bronston

Ho is the chosen representative of bis party and since It Is determined fp carry things by fist and skull if nol with reason Senator Uronston ought- to have the floor AT last officers of the law have taken a stand against the turnpike raiders and a battle has been fought which results in the death of one or nfore oi the raiders It occurred in Bath county on Satur day morningsliorjly after mid night Nonaof the sheriffs posse wore injured although ninny shots Ttcfft exchanged The County judge and Sheriff of Bath county are a r working to ferret out these raillers at the imminent peril of their lives It is to be hoped that other officers will take courage and other raiders fright at the serious result to the lawbreakirs of this en counter THERE is a prophet at Barnesley who foretells

the honest conscientious manner that characterizes the life of the man and retains what he has ever heldthe regard and esteem of good citizens irrespective of party Democrats as well as Republi cans appreciate his good qualities and do not hesitate to say so The following expression is from the HustlerHe not at home a single time during the session of the Legislature While Mr Graham is a Republican yet he has the goodwill of nearly everybody who knows him We all know that Rufe is an honest sober moral and upright man something that cannot be said of all tho members of that body Mr Graham has made a very fair nnd worthy representative Dr KImbley Dr J F Kimbley died suddenly at his home in Owcnsboro Mon day night He was called to see a patient about midnight and when almost dressed fell and died without speaking He has been a strong man all his life He was born in Muhlenberg county Ser tember 24 1823 Served in the Union Army through the civil war was appointed surgeon of the Eleventh Kentucky infantry in 1861 and held staff brigade division and corps positions in the 1armiesand Tennessee He was one of the most prominent and wealthy citizens of Daviess county and leaves an estate of over 100000 Blackmail The BlackJa7 has maligned Mr Geo C Atkinson That is its mission He is falsely accused of trying to serve on the grand jury from wrong motives and ot being detected in the wilful attempt to force himself in while it is assert ed he was knowingly incompetent as a juror Squire Jim Head is credited with having made the detection and the matter is made the basis of a villianous villifying and malicious attack upon Mr Atkinson in the editorial columns ofthcMail A conversation is also invented as between Mr At kinspn and Squire Head in which Mr Atkinson is quoted as giving utterance to threatening an intimi dating speech Squire Head has denied the truth of this story to several Earl ington gentlemen and has said that he would publicly and in the same manner as the injustice was done set Mr Atkinson right before Urns who might have believed it Tir BEE has waited for Mr Head to speak and sight this wrong but thus far whether for reasons of his own or because the BlackaV will not recall this slander he has remained silent TilE BEE now States that the charge published is false as the father of lies and Judge Pratt and Sheriff Thompson will bear out the statement Mr Atkinson was scrupulously particular to State everything he thought might possibly conflict with his services on tb grand jury and Mr Atkinson ant not another was careful to stat that he was a notary public which office disqualified him as a juror The BlackMail has maligned Mr D W Umstead That is its mission and blackmailing and und maligning have their weight with not a few timorous ones But 1 i Mr Umstead is one of those straightforward men always ready to do his duty fearlessly and never flinching from its performance- Mr Umstead wits foreman of the grand jury which the Mail with aid from certain office seekers has again tried to control and not be ing an officeseeker but being anI honest man took the stand upon he Hendricks case that has ever een taken by reasonable and un- preJudiced men simply that there was not evidence to indict He is maligned for thili as have been all other jurors who have acted upon his case without fear or favor Not satisfied with this the Black follows him with its persecu ioi and publishes a lying statement charging Umstead with attempting to injure Dr E P Rucker whom it says is one of the best qualified physicians in the State The BlackMail says Mr Urn tead went on a tour of investiga ion all by himself and that he asked County Clerk Arnold what right has Dr Rucker got to practice medicine Mr Arnold is reported in quotation to have sat upon Mr Umstead with some spiri t and to have told him how diplomas Dr Kuckcr had etc etc Then it says Mr Umstead went upstairs chewing the cud of over zealousness etc very much dis comfitedThis too is a malicious fabrication and while the stories of the Mailare generally recognized by intelligent people as naturally lying and inherently vicious concoc tions of a diseased mind whose emissions arc tolerated for a while by a long suffering public yet TIlE BEE as a public servant cannot allow such inventions of the imagination against good citizens to go- by uncontradictediTHE BEE interviewed County Clerk Arnold thus Mr Arnold I just want to ask you one question Well ask me a dozen What is there in this story about Dan Umstead while fore man of theigrand juryinvestigating in your office the standing of Dr RuckerWhy said Mr Arnold thats all bosh and he continued Ill tell you just what occurred The law requires physicians to register and requires the County Clerk to furnish a list to the grand jury of those who have registered I made out such a list as usual took it to the grand jury room and returned to my office Presently I returned to the jury room to take the name of another physiciah who had reg istered When I gave it in some pleasantries passed and Foreman Umsteadsaidjocularly Mr Clerk you had better go out to Earling ton and have Bro Rucker regis ter Why I responded isnt Bro Ruckers name on the list It should be Some one I think it was Mr Barnhill answered no Mr Umstead said if the name is on the list the clerk failed to read it I then said give me the list and I will show it to you I took the list found Dr Ruckers name put it up under Mr Barn hills nose and asked him if he could read This was all that passed between Mr Umstead and myself He did not come to me to investigate Dr Rucker but on the other hand Ruckers name not having been read he seemed tome to be interested that Rucker should be given another opportunity to register as the law re quiresThus this lie out of whole cloth is refuted by the unfailing truth from the most reliable quarter The BlackMail has maligned Mr Jno T Barnett that efficient fearless bighearted officer well known throughout Western Kentucky who has done so much to make Earlington a terror to evildoers for miles around Ife i 5 ever alert and ready to the performance of duty and never hesi tates in service to a friend As can be proven he has great compassion for suffering humanity and scarcely a week passes but he advances money to relieve the ne c ssity and help the journey

on byMarshalUpon examination before acting Judge Farnsworth Grub admit ted that he had a home in Nashville that his mother had means and property and would help him if he would stay there He confessed vagrancy said he made his livings by begging and gave as his reason for not staying at home that lietand his father did not get jThethere was a city ordinance which required the arrest and fining s of vagrants and told him the law provided that if the fine was not paid it should be worked out ontthe rock pileuGrub did ask for mercy or plead incapacity further than to show a crippledr hand but brazenly and the city tough ho si told the Judge o that ho had never struck a lick ofawork and that he would not a lick on the rock pile or anywhere else The Judge very properly daysOn Grub refused to work and the officers sprung on him the scriptural injunction if a man will not work neither shall he cat In the true Weary Willie style Grub eschewed grub if it entailed semblance of labor and said hed die first Marshal Barnctt took to him a nicely prepared meal on a waiter showed it to him and told him if he would even show a willingness to work a little bit his belly shoulds be filled But he wouldnt didntWell Grub didnt work and he didnt cat and he didnt die butfhe did get such a wholesome ot scriptural fasting for a few meals that Earlington will not linger in his affectionate

and meat market in Nashville and owns considerable property With true motherly love she would keep her boy regardless ol his worthlessness if he would stay with her The husband drinks and the boy drinks and they two quarrel He says Grub has a lockup reputation and has probably been sentenced more times for vagrancy than any man in Nashville Walter Farns worth Gco Maddox and others are reported

and their candidate were quite pleased with the strong endorse ment they received The Winkstacker Franklin lad Democrat In our trade and agricultural cx changes we note some discussion concerning the merits of the Pneumatic or Wind stacker We believe the farmers of Johnson County situated as they arc in one of the best agricultural regions in the world arc to be felicitated for their excellent judgement in adopting improved methods in farming without being governed by prejudice or hearsay To the farmers of Johnson County who have been familiar with the Wind stacker since its introduction in 1891 discussions at this time concerning the merits of the Wind stacker must be amusing When they have straw stacks that have stood for three four and five years with the straw bright and clean a few inches below the surface they certainly cannot help wondering why the Wind stacker could any where be condemned because the straw would not keep The geographical position of the County the whole of which lies within forty miles of the capital City of the State makes it readily acc ssibf to the agents of all the agricultural implement manufacturers For that reason this County is particu larly favored in having the first opportunity to receive and judge of new inventions We suppose the contests by agents for sales machinery arc as keen here as they could possibly be anywhere If therefore there should be any weaknesses or defects in a machine the agents of competing machinery would be swift to discover them and point them out to buyers The fact is that a threshcrman in this County today without a wjni stacker has very little to do and none of them thinks of buying a new machine without it Farmers will no longer endure the disagree able and arduous labor required in stacking straw nor can they se cure hands in a busy season to do such work The manufacturer of a threshing machine in this day which is not adapted o work in connection with the Vind stacker has no sale for his goods in this County and we are surprised that farmers or threshermcn in any lo cality would think of using old time methods or machinery not adapted for the best use of pro gressive improvements

importunities laid wltb iron instead of wooden rails It bad been intended merely for horse draft but the Inventor prevailed upon the owners lo allow him a trial of his steam locomotive Stephenson himself was the driver on that occasion and before a tremendous crowd of curious and for the most part in credulous people be drew a train of nearly thirty wagons loaded with passengers andI coal at a speed of twelve to fifteen miles per hour Thus the first train that ever carried passengers made Its journey in safety and the entbtliiasm of the multi tude was Indescribable nut notwithstanding thin
