The killing of the county unit bill DFH1UIAIUin the Senate and the failure to pass uLlllllUIla redistricting bill, or even to consider

talk of an extra session and it was ja DU UUl fl 111 I fllllOl/ll I Estated on reliable authority that Gov. ||J Ht UtLU 111 LUuIuVILLlWillson will call an extra session to

consider four subjects. These four

subjects are the county unit bill, a re- qF THE SURVIVORS OF KEN-districting bill, bi-partisan boards for

the control of the State penal and

charitable institutions and some meas-

ures to relieve the tobacco troubles,

which have caused the Governor so

much anxiety. It is said that the

Governor has made up his mind finally

that the State must have a redistrict-

ing bill, in accordance with the decis-

ion of the Court of Appeals whichknocked out the last bill that waspassed by the Legislature and also

that something must be done to stop

the raids by night riders. The talk

of an extra session is all that one

hears now as the big things which

occupied the attention of the public

during the weeks which have passed

have all been settled one way or the

other.

Gov. Willson is known to be disap-

pointed in the Legislature and is said

to have expected the two bodies to

pass a redistricting bill, although it is

hardly believed that he expected the

passage of the bill which was drawn

by the Republicans and which would

have put the Republicans* in control

in the State. In order to get a redis-

tricting bill it is said to be practically

certain that he will call an extra ses-

sion and that he will include in the

call, as a part of the business which is

to be considered, the county unit bill.

Gov. Willson has not talked regarding

his intentions on the subject of an

extra session but his close friends say

that it is practically a certainty that

he will issue the call. The extra ses-

sion may not be held Immediately fol-

lowing the presnt session but it maybe several weeks before the call is is-

sued.

The Anti-Saloon League, which is a

power in Kentucky as well as other

States, is said to have already decided

that in case this session ends without

the passage .of the county unit bill,

petitions asking an extra session will

be sent to the Governor from every

precinct in the State and will makethings so strong that he will be prac-

tically forced to call the extra ses-

sion. This plan is said to have beenfully decided on and will be put into

execution at once. Franfort is muchinterested in all this talk and manywould like to see the Legislature comeback for an extra session.

A prominent Republican member of

the Legislature said he is confident

Gov. Willson expects to call an extra

session. He said that while the Gov-

ernor did not say it in so many wordshe asked questions the purport of

which showed that he is at least con-

sidering the matter very carefully.

The House yesterday morning pass-

ed the Sullivan educational bill,

which changes the whole system of

school trustees and establishes a high

school in everjr county in the State.

There was some opposition to the bVl

and the debate was long, many speech-

es being made for and against it. The

bill provides that the county Bball be

the governing unit in school matters

and that a tax of not to exceed 20 cents

Entertained Tuesday Evening ByMembers Of The Legislature At

Capital Hotel.

One of the gaye3t and most enjoy-

able social events of the General As-

sembly session was the dance and re-

ception given at the Capital Hotel

Tuesday evening by the memlfers of

the Legislature in honor of Senator-

elect W. O. Bradley and his daughter,

Mrs. John G. South. The grand

march was led by Gov. Bradley andMrs. W. H. Cox, wife of the Lieuten-

ant Governor.

Among the informal features werebanjo playing by Representative

Henry Denham, of the Metcalfe-Mon-

roe district, who also called the figu-

res for the quadrilles. Representa-

tive “Windy Bill” Thompson, of Spen-

cer county, showed himself quite

handy with his feet and danced a

genuine old-fashioned "breakdown”for the edification of the large assem-

blage. The afTair was made a society

event and many handsome costumes

were in evidence. A number of guests

were present from Louisville and

TUCKY’S CONSTITUTIONALMRS. HOLTMANCONVENTION,

A county board of edu-

cation, which shall consist of not less

than four nor more than eight mem-

bers, with the county school superin-

tendent. as a member ex-officio. This

board is to be selected by the election

of one school trustee in each school

district and the trustees of these dis-

tricts to compose a division board of

education in each educational division

of the county, of which there shall be

not less than four nor more than eight

The teachers are to be selected by the

division boards and each trustee is re-

quired to look after the needs of the

schools in their districts. The main

feature of the bill, aside from the al-

teration in the methods of managing

schools, is that each county in the

State shall have a high school. The

bill now goes to the Senate and is

practically certain to pass there, both

th« and Republicans favor-

ing it.

In the Senate to-day an important

local option measure was passed.

This provides that no distiller shall

sell intoxicating liquor in any local

option district except to a licensed

wholesale or retail dealer. Tlfls will

do away with the present plan of small

distilleries selling whisky in five gal-

lon lots to anybody who may apply.

Senator McNutt’s bill creating the of-

fice of assistant jail physician in

Lo.uisville was passed by a unani-

mous vote. The county unit bill came

up again this morning in the Senate

when the House bill, which has pass-

ed, was read and referred to a com-

mittee. On motion of Senator Rives

the bill was referred to the Kentucky

Statutes Committee. Thia does not

affect the bill, however, as the Rules

Committee is in complete charge and

the bill can be called up only on mot-

ion of the Rules committee.

The Senate passed the Crecllius bill

providing a penalty for selling or buy-

ing pooled tobacco, after it had been i

amended so as to provide that the

penalty should be inflicted only where

a person knowingly buy* such pooled

tobacco. Other bills were passed and

the Senate disposed of a great deal

of business.

Much business of importance was

transacted by the House and Senate

yesterday and the two bodies are nowgetting down to work with the pros-

pect that all the bills which need at-

tention will be disposed of before the

session adjourns. There remains of

the session only nine days, but in that

time a great deal of business can be

transacted and the session will end

with a great deal accomplished, es-

pecially for the cause of education.

a change in one vote. Senator Rives,

who has been fighting for the bill, madehis usual motion that the rules besuspended and the bill taken from the

Senator Charlton moved to lay this

motion on the table. The motion to

committee. The motion was lost, the

vote being 18 to 16. The county unit

opponents thought their time hadcome and were badly frightened, but

that night things were done .and the

bill was laid away without funeral ser-

vices on the day following.

Next to the county unit bill the Mc-Chord bill has aroused most interest,,

and the fate of this bill, under the newrule in the Senate, is problematic. It

is said that the rules committee is

against the bill and that the support-

ers of it can not muster the necessary

two-thirds to get it out of the hands of

that committee, but the supporters

of the measure say that It will be pass-

ed and it then will be up to the Gov-

ernor whether or not it shall be-

come a law. The McChord hill,

The March assignment of store-

keepers and gaugers In the Seventh

Internal Revenue District shows in-

creased activity In the distilling in-

dustry, although it Is still far below

the average for this season of the

year. Four deaths In the service

within a few months and the illness

of several others have made neces-

sary a number of appointments of

temporary men from the civil service

eligible list, mostly for brief periods.

Selection for these emergency ap-

pointments are made as a rule from

the men on the list living nearest to

the distilleries where extra men are

needed, as the terms of servic are

mostly not long enough to Justify long

trips and traveling expenses. Theeligible llBt is the longest the district

has ever had, 42 names in all, and

the outlook is that but a small pro-

portion of the eligibles will be needed,

at least for anything more than scat-

tered periods of a few dayB now andthen.

MARDI GRAS.

It» Origin And How It la And' (Has

Been Celebrated.

There is anjy room for smiles andjests in New Orleans when MardiGras rolls around each year and the

I day is celebrated with wonted enthu-siasm, preparations being made seve-

ral months before the climax comes,when the old city Is unveiled in all

of its gay attire and such a thing as

business Is forgotten for th* time.

The word carnival is derived from the

Italia, composed of two words, carnoand ‘vale, which means farewell to

meat Mardl -Gras is derived from theFrench and means fat Tuesday; .Mardibeing the word for Tuesday and Grasthe word Star fat.

Dating hack to the time of Teles-

phorus, Bishop of Rome in the secondcentury, the festive date was accord-

ingly devised. The season of Lent, orforty days’ fasting, had already beeninstituted. In Rome the inhabitants

held a series of public dinners, the

city was lighted with torches and the

vineyards, like those which tarnished

Inspiration to Omar Khayyam for bis

immortal verses, were well filled with

guests. The next city which caughtthe flavor of the celebration wasParis, and year after year th® Paris-

ians had thair carnival. Masking be-

came the fashion and the city swarm-ed with mem and women in fanctful

costumes. After the new world wasdiscovered and New Orleans spranginto existence that city caught the in-

spiration from ±he gay Parisians andearly In the eighteenth cenutry Mardi !

Gras, or Shove Tuesday, was observ-

ed as gala day. Feasts were given

and the day wound up with a bail--

grand ball.

paper shall herealte^^^ known.

While the new management feels a

pardonable pride In the changes that

have already been effected, It is by

no means the paper that we intend to

make It in a few weeks. Naturally

there is a great deal work incident to

the transfer of -a large business, and

as yet we have not organized our

editorial staff. The volume of work

that has been turned oub by the

Frankfort Printing Company since

the transier of he property has kept

the present force busy dty and night,

but the foice will be enlarged at the

earliest date possible and we hope

then to show out patrons that a first-

class paper can be published and

maintained In Frankfort.

It shall be the policy of this paper

to give the news of the day as it is.

The happenings of the day will not

be colored to please or to injure any

man, or set of men, but it will oe writ-

ten without bias.' The editorial ool-

vmi of the paper will be used to ad-

vance the interests of Frankfort and

the State, and they will not be given

over to “doubtful disputations” 'con-

Republican members of the General

Assembly and some of the State of-

ficials have organized the Hughes

League of Kentucky, and hope to have

Kentucky’s delegation to the National

Convention instructed either for

Hughes first or second. If the fight

between Taft and Fairbanks gets any

and the Hughes men say that ^botti

sides could agree on Hughes delegates

from this State. If either a Tart or

a Fairbanks delegation goes from Ken-

hotter something will have to be done

tucky it b believed that this delega-

tion will be composed of men who

favor Hughes as second choice.

The Hughes movement in Kentucky

Is getting to amount to something and

the sentiment Is becoming general

that he will be the nominee on whomthe anti-Taft men will agree. Manyof the leading Republican politicians

who come to Franfort are really for

Hughes, and say that ho will be the

man who can beat Bryan. They are

for Taft or Fairbanks or some other

man' but all have a good word to say

for the Governor of New York, and

those who favor Fairbanks say $hat

they may hace to unite on Hughes to

beat Taft.

Mr. Humphreys, general manager of

the Hughes boom, was in Frankfort

Wednesday and organized the Hughes

Club, which will be spread over the

entire State and will not be confined

to only one city or county. Thomas

B. McGregor was elected president of

the league, Roy Wilhoit secretary and

trea3urer, arid T. F. Vinson, vice

president. John P. Haswell, R. A.

Cook, W. E. Bidwell, D. B. Cornett

and Sawyer A. Smith were appointed

as the executive committee.

Gen. Stew'art L. Woodford, presi-

dent of the Hughes League of the

United States, Is expected in Ken-

tucky the coming week, and will

make several addresses. A strong or-

ganization is on foot in Louisville for

Hughes, and with the organization of

the Kentucky League it will probably

mean the inception of a Hughes boom

In Kentucky which will result In a

tide hard to stem.

Says So Called “Luck” Has Nothing

To Do With Maing Or UnmakingMans Fortune.

The Louisville Times in its column

“All Around The Town,” has the fol-

lowing item which will be of interest

to Mike Rooney’s many friends in

Frankfort.

There are those who contend that

so-called "luclf” has nothing to do

with making or unmaking a man’s

fortune. Such is not the belief of

“Mike” Rooney, formerly of Louisville

and Frankfort. Rooney was Inspector

of Drains, in the employ of the city,

six years ago, but was let out be-

cause he was not in accord with the

administration. He immediately went

West, locating at Keokuk Falls, Okla.

Rooney Is a quick-witted Irishman,

and was formerly Assistant Warden of

the penitentiary at Frankfort. He fell

in with a wealthy ranchman namedTomlinson, who suggested to him tt(it

they start a distillery. They did so,

and made “a barrel of money,” so to

spea. Besides being a half owner in

the distillery, Rooney now owns a big

ranch and m|ny ctttle tud sheep in

Olahoma and Indian Territory. Rooney

was in Louisville renectly, and said to

his plans and practices,

suit. He fall plowed most of his

land upon which spring crops were

to be cultivated, and others seeing

from this practice were not slow in

adopting this and other advanced farm

methods which he put into practice.

rent indicating an easier feeling on

the red type of Burley, except perhaps

on the medium grades. Good and fine

trash and very common lugs were a

trifle easier. The medium grades

seemed to hold their own fairly well.

Colory types were In limited supply

and met with strong competition.

Prices on this were fairly well main-

Considerable percentage of the of-

The market continued strong and ac-

than usual for a Friday, the aggregate

at all the warehouses being 1,028 hogs-

heads—861 Burley and 177 dark.

There was a large attendance of buy-

ers, growers and dealers. The quality

of the offerings was good and sales

figures were generally acceptable to

shippers, as shown by the small per-

centage of repections. No change was

noted in prices.

The Ninth-street house offered sixty-

eight hogsheads of new Burley, which

brought from $7.90 to $16, and twenty-

two hogsheads of new dark brought

from $4.85 to $10.75. A crop of etgl*

OLD-FASHIONED DANCE.The dance at the Capital Hotel

given by the Members of the General

Assembly to the Assembly Ball Club,

and friends, could not, by the widest

stretch of the imagination be called

“conventional."

It was not intended to be such. TheMembers of the Legislature, who have

not been reared in the city, have some-

thing coming to them, and—they got

It. After a few figures had been

danced, the "gentleman from Monroe

county” called out “to get your part-

ners for the quadrlll.”

Some of those present had forgotten

what the quadrlll looked like, but the

dancers were as game as the "gentle-

man from away down there in the

sticks,” and pretty soon a “grape-

vine," a half mile long, were dizzily

cavorting over the floor.

To give a zest to matters generally

several special stunts were indulged in.

“Windy Bill” and a few colleagues

gave some extra fine "jigging,” which

promised to continue till morning till

some of those who wanted morequadrille pulled them off the floor

Representative Denham, who “lowed”

he couldn’t play a note, but could

make some noise on the banjo, kept

his word, and the jigging was con-

tinued.

Governor Bradley joined heartily in

the encores. The Frankfort Orchestra

caught the spirit of the dance and

from the way that horns brayed and

blared it put music in the feet of those

who had not danced for several years.

The receiving line were composed

of Governor Bradley and Mrs. W. H.

Cox, Governor Cox and Mrs. John G.

Roberta Cox, M!r. Speaker Gooch and

Mr*. A. D. Martin, Mr. Haaweil and

To Be Asked In Louisville To MGrave Of Governor Shelby’s

A motion will be introduced at the

next meeting of the city council in

man from the Twelfth Ward, to have

that city appropriate $150 to place a

headstone or small monument over

the grave of Mary Carleton, the grand-

daughter of Isaac Shelby, the first

Governor of Kentucky, who is buried

in the Portland cemetery. Mary Car-

leton died at the almshouse on May

2, 1882, and although the location of

her grave is known, nothing marks

the spot. Mr. Dailey deplores the fact

that the first grandchild of a Ken-

called up for action.

STAMPING GROUND.

The little son of Robert Marshall

Lee, 4 years old, is very ill of pneu-

monia.

There are a number of cases of

sickness reported in and near town,

grip or pneumonia, but none of a very

serious character.

At the administrator's sale of the

late Mr. W. C. Perry, Saturday, there

was a good crowd in attendance and

personal property brought fairly good

prices.

Mr. John Lewis Wiley, of Franklin

county, has moved to the Haner

Hotel property, bought by his father,

Mr. Alvin Wiley, at commissioner’s

sale several months ago for $2,500.

Mr. Wiley has opened a meat market.

Moving time has again rolled round

and many changes are being made.

Mr. Charley Murphy will leave the

Wash place and move to his own

home, on the Elmville pike; and Mr.

James Kelley will succeed him. Jas.

|«nt Up From Louisville With Batch

Of Prisoners. Reward Out

standing For Him.

A reward of $100 was outstanding

for Henry Stepney, colored, received

ht the Penitentiary from Louisville

Thursday morning to serve three years

for grand larceny.

AJbout eight years ago Henry Step-

ney was sent to prison for burglary

to serve a seven-year sentence. Whenbut about sevn months of his sentence

remained, he apparently became In-

sane. After a thorough investigation

of his case he was committed to the

asylum at Lexington. A few months

later he escaped from that institution.

As he had bupt a short time to serve in

prison, the authorities, after notifying

the police of the different cities, took

no especial pains to locate him be-

yond a reward of $100 for his arrest

and return to the Penitentiary.

Nothing more was heard of him

until Thursday, when he was received

from Louisville with a batch of prison-

ers. He had been sentenced there

under his own name to serve three

years for grand larceny.

NEW LAW FIRM

Elected For Woodford County Law

And Order League. A new law firm was established at

Lawrenceburg, on Thursday morning,

under the name of Carter & Hlner, OCL/

who will practice their profession in

the the courts of Anderson and ad-

joining counties; also the Appellate

Court at Frankfort. The firm is com-

posed of ex-Lieutenant Governor Car- fXpter, of Lawrenceburg, and Mr. T. T.

Hlner, formerly of Jackson, of which

town he was at one time mayor.

Judge Pols-

grove held that he had no author-

ity to make Mr. I^aFontaine take out

a license, but holds that if he is guilty

of violating the liquor laws Mr. Re-

horn should swear out a warrant

against him and have him tried, and

if he is found guilty, then a fine is

the proper remedy for the court to use.

It is said Mr. Rehorn will appeal the

C**e.

succeed John W. Yerkes. His oppo-nent will be R. P. Ernst, who has al-

the place.

This means that there will be a hot

fight for the position, but friends, of

Lieut. Gov. Cox believe that he will

have no trouble landing the honor.He will have the backing of the new-ly elected Senator, W. O. Bradley,and will have the support of the Fair-

banks wing of the Republican partyin Kentucky, as well as many of thestrongest Taft supporters. It will bea fight of the Ernst faction againstthe others, and it now looks like Mr.Ernst will be lost In the shufflle.

The fact that Mr. Ernst was oppos-

ed to Bradley and trRftl to defeat himfor Senator as Is charged and believ-

ed by many of the Republicans, will

rally to the support of his opponenta large number of the leading Repub-licans of the State. At any rate

there will be an interesting contest.

was the temper of the meeting that

these measures were more essential

than any local option law, and that

they would be given precedence over

the sumptuary measure.

The Republican leaders here claim

that, unless they can secure the enact-

to them an apportionment of the State

into districts where they will have

something like an even chauce with

the Democrats, and the passage of

a law that will insure fairness in elec-

little for their efforts in carrying the

rest of the Republican State ticket.

They insist that they want to remedyconditions and place everything on a

strictly fair basis.

In this connection they point to the

fact that by the provisions of their

Congressional redistricting bill, seven

of the eleven districts are given to

Famous Statue Of Washington In

State University at Lexington.

Painstaking searcu by Dr. John

Quincy Adams, of New York, assistant

secretary of the Municipal Art Com-

mission, has resulted In the tracing

of five bronze copies of Houdon’s fa-

mous marble statue of Washington

another bronze statue of which stands

on Riverside Drive in New York

City.

The whereabouts of all these copies

had been lost eight of for years, al-

though diligent search had been made

for them by art lovers. Six bronze

copies of the original Houdon statue

were made In 1851 from plaster casts

taken in Richmond, Va.. by W. J.

Hubbard, a Virginia sculptor. One, it

is disclosed by Mr. Adams’ researches,

is now owned by North Carolina andanother by South Carolina, and are in

in their respective State Houses.

A third statue is in the Slate Univer-

sity at Lexington, a fourth in Lafay-

ette Park, St. Louis, and the fifth

owned by private parties is in the Cor-j

coran Art Gallery in Washington. The I

sixth statue has been in New Yorksince 1858.

that every step of the way this meas-
