Personals
The Court of Appeals have granted a new trial to William Smith, of Powell
county, who was sentenced to be hanged for killing Andrew Gibbs, in
September 1890. The trouble between the men arose out of their affection for
the same young lady, Miss Annie Frisbie.

Joseph Hagins caught 17 o'possums the 16th inst. This beats the record. Any
Southern negro considers one 'possum a good night's work. If he should have
Joe's luck he would think the millenium had arrived.

J.T. Day & Co. have bought the big Kentucky Union store at Clay City, and
will open it at once for business. This firm is one of the strongest in
Eastern Kentucky., and from their recent movements they are likely to hold
their own and gain a little.

Geo. Rice is preparing his yard to begin the manufacture of brick. J.W.
Cardwell will build his business house of brick of which the foundation was
laid last fall. He proposes to burn 200,000
in the first kiln and if more is needed he can make them later.

Wm. Shackelford received a letter at Frozen Creek April 18th, mailed at
America, Lee County, the 5th inst. and stamped at Jackson the 7th. He saw it
taken from the sack. It was from his brother who was very sick, having been
stricken down on his way home. It is such things as this that we deplore.

Mrs. Rachel M. King, wife of Z.T. King, of Taulbee, died at her home the
18th instant. She was a great sufferer, having been sick for three months.
She was the daughter of Greenberry Taulbee, deceased. The mortality of her
father's family has been great. Five years ago there were the father and
five children of his first marriage. Now Sewell Taulbee, our Master
Commissioner,alone, remains.

W.O. Davis, of Hazard, spreads his sails to the breeze this week, and
invokes the aid of the HUSTLER, in steering his bark across the commercial
sea. He has been remarkably successful without any external help, but he
knows a good thing when he sees it, and is ready to appropriate it to his
use. His business success and the large stock of goods he carries give great
assurance to his customers of getting value received. He wishes to tell the
people of the many good things he has for them and hopes to meet them in
large numbers at his place of business. Call and see.

Rev. J.A. Sawyer, P.E. of Cumberland Gap District, preached Sunday morning
and night to large appreciative audiences. He passed on Monday to Hazard to
preach, and thence he will go to Hindman. He is in labors abundant.
The directors of the Richmond, Nicholasville, Irvine and Beattyville
railroad will hold a meeting at Louisville April 27th. Work on the road will
be resumed May 1

The President of the State Farmers' Alliance, Hon. T.T. Gardner, is a
straight Democrat, and thinks the other will support the Democratic
nominees, at least the Democratic members of the order.

We are fond of variety. It is the spice of life, you know. That is why we
admire the color of Floyd Hagin's house. if each man will paint his house a
different color from any other in town, it will certainly be pretty, then we
will soon have such a variety that everybody will ber struck ith its beauty.
We sincerely hope that the monotonous white, beautiful in itself, will be
relieved.

Since the postmasters will not report the mail carriers, let the wide awake
citizens of the country report both to the Second Assistent Postmaster
General. If such measures as these were employed we would soon have a prompt
and faithful transportation of our own.

Alfred Holeman, of Powell county, shot and istantly killed his neighbor,
Robert Kelly, last Thursday. They own adjoining farms, and a dispute arose
over the division line fence, which led to the difficulty, ending as above.
Holeman surrendered to W.P. Nolan, Justice of the Peace.

We learn from an anonymous correspondent from Hindman, that Miss Elvira
Maggard, a pupil of the Hindman Academy , died the 31st of March. Her death  
produced a profound sensation, as she was an exceedingly interesting young 
lady. We extend our sympathy to the parents and community who are so deeply 
bereft. 

Science and Industry.
The city of Toronto will lease its street car plants. Under the lease no
employe can work over ten hours a day. A class of tickets must be sold at
the rate of eight for twenty five cents, excerpt.

There are thousands of wives and mothers in New York who make ends meet by
sewing on overalls that pay seventy-five cents, shirts, sixty cents, vests
ninety- five cents, trousers three dollars, flannel shirts one dollar a
dozen. They are obliged to find their own thread for the overalls and shirts
and carry the work to and from the shop. If they take a street car one-tenth
of their earnings is gone.

In these days, of so many alleged cures for consumption, oysters are
commended and are given to consumptive patients because they contain iodine.
The treatment is quite common in the South.

MISCELLANEOUS
After the settlement of new England by the Puritans, and Maryland by
Catholics, there was a period of about thirty years in which no new colonies
were planted. In this period occurred the great rebellion in England where
Charles I. was beheaded, and his son Charles II. was kept out of England by
the Puritans under Oliver Cromewell. But after Cromwell's death Charles II
was brought back to England. This is known as the Restoration. It took place
in 1660.

For a long time the tomato was regarded as little better than a poison. Then
followed a reaction.Certain Philadelphia physicians declare that it is
injurious to the system. This recalls a little old lady who lived in Boston
a few years ago. Her theory was that the tomato affected the brain in such a
way as to obliterate the distinction between right and wrong.

One of the curious products of Mexico is the jumping bean, a vegetable
curiosity. Scientists cannot explain them. They grow in pods, each pod
containing three beans. Each segment is rounded on one side and A-shaped on
the other, greenish yellow in color and about the size of a large lead
pencil. When placed on a table, they can actually jump a good two inches;
and when held between the thumb and forefinger, they are felt to beat as
strongly as the throbbing of a strong man's pulse.

COFFEE INEBRIETY.
Drunkenness Resulting from Excessive Coffee Drinking.
Dr. Mendel, of Berlin, has been making a clinical study of coffee inebriety.
he recently published a brief account of his researches. The victim of cofee
inebriety is one of the most miserable of human beings. He is low spirited,
sleepless, suffers from headaches, which are relieved by coffee,but speedily
returns. His hands shake, his muscles are weak, he suffers from great pain
in the region of the heart. His hands and feet are cold, the face wears a
pained and anxious expression. The coffee drinker often acquires the red
nose which is so often characteristic of alcoholic inebriety, and hence
called the rum blossom. Dr. Crothers, in referring to these researches,
calls attention to the fact that coffee drunkenness is increasing in this
country, and that the coffee drinker-after a time--turns to alcohol, and
becomes a constant drinker.Many opium and alcoholic cases have an early
history of excess coffee drinking, and are difficult to treat. --Good
Health.

Fireside Fragments
It is not generally known that one of the best specifics for diptheria is
the pure juice of the pineapple. It is also valuable in cases of
indigestion.

Spinach:This is a dish not often seen on farmers' tables. To those who have
never tried it I would suggest that they reserve just a corner of the
vegetable for this delightful green, next spring.

Why They Could not Begin:
Amy(at the football grounds)-Why don't they begin to play?
Dolley-The surgeons have not arrived yet.--Judge.

One of the finest looking of the splendid Cheyenne tribe of Indians-Chief
Yellow Knee-was in Chicago one day for several hours. The chief came up from
Indian territory to visit friends living in Evanston, and stopped on the way
to see life in a great city. He spent some time explaining to an admiring
audience the mysteries of buffalo-hunting and other prairie sports. At the
close of a thrilling account of a buffalo hunt on the Platte in 1863, one of
his auditors asked,"Can you tell us anything about Indian medicine
men?""Thity five years ago the greatest medicine man among the Cheyennes was
Ah-zan-a-nayo,The man of Power.'"
