B. MOREHEAD EDITOR ---- in the Post-Office Morgantown Or second class mailer __________________________ The contest for the seat of Mr. Carlisle by Mr. Thobe was settled in the House last Monday by a vote 164 to 7 in favor of the speaker. Seven Republicans voted with the Democrats, C. Blewett has brought suit against Hon. H. M. Skiles, of Bowling Green. For $10,000. The trouble grew out of a charge made by Skiles that Blewett stole his cattle, hogs, corn, etc. A boy 18 years old was hung in the jail at Cambridge, Mass. the other day for murder. After the boy had murdered his victim he cut the body into pieces which he distributed along a road over which he distributed along a road over which he traveled. The appointment of I. Q. C. Lamar, the Southerner of the Jeff Davis stripe, who owes all he is to bull dozing and intimidation at the polls, as a Justice of the Supreme Court, was confederacy is not in the saddle she’s getting there mighty fast. St. Louis, Cincinnati and San Francisco are bidding lively for the Democratic National Convention. One individual in the latter city, possessing more money than brains perhaps generosity offers to defray the expenses of the entire outfit: Morgantown isn’t “hankering” after the convention we believe. As an evidence of this country’s appreciation of her handsome French gift, the Bartholdi statue. Mrs. Edward J. Ovington proposes to raise $20,000 for a statue of G, Washington to be presented to France, which token of a nation’s love is to be erected in Paris. The right hand of the statue of George will perhaps hold aloft the famous little hatchet. It is now apparent to any thinking mind that all the filibustering Democracy of the Randall and Carlisle factions do not intend to do anything with the tariff in the present Congress in order that they may fix up a tariff plank in their next convention to suit either section and mean anything or nothing, So it is plain to see that the only object Democracy has is to catch votes. The U. S. Supreme Court has rendered a decision in the Maxwell trunk murder case which affirms the State court. Thus the case goes back to the State supreme court and Attorney General Boone will in a few days call Maxwell into the criminal court of St. Louis when the date of his execution will be fixed. I[f the governor does not interfere Brooks ---- Maxwell will “pull hemp” early in March next. It is safe to say that Kentucky has the most discreditable capitol in this country. For this there is no excuse. We are able certainly to accommodate our State government in buildings bearing at least some comparison to those at Nashville or Indianapolis. Instead we have an old rookery that might have been well enough fifty years ago. But which today is a shame to the State. Kentuckians are not lacking in State pride of a certain kind but we defy anyone to stand in sight of the capitol at Frankfort and not feel that some apology is necessary –Ex. There are indications that the Senate Committee ----- to when was referred Judge Mont--- memorial will report a ---- embodying his suggestion that the thirteenth section of the Criminal Code be so amended as to give the inferior courts exclusive jurisdiction on small inside manors, thus releasing the Circuit and Criminal Courts of one of their most costly and uncalled for matters. Judge Montfort’s memorial suggested that the proposed amendment would save to the State annually $130,000 now paid to grand and --- juries and it should certainly give to the higher courts much needed time to devote to more important projects, on --- --- the equity and criminal dockets. The later especially needing attention in certain ------ Courier Journal Column 2 “Fish” Cook, of Warren county is championing a bill which proposes for the county instead of the state paying for the record books. This would work a hardship upon the poor poll-tax payers. The books are mainly to keep a record of property, etc., and there is a tax of 50 cents on each deed mortgage (except chattel under $40) and suit to pay this expense and it over pays the cost of the books. Now the “Cook” proposes to make the counties pay for the books without repealing the above mentioned tax on deeds, etc. If the bill will give the county this revenue we vote “aye” otherwise “nay” TRYING TO GREATE A MONOPOLY There has been a bill introduced in the Kentucky Legislature to the effect that the County and Circuit Court Clerks should buy all their record books from the public printer. This would give to the public printer a full and complete monopoly and he could charge any price for same. As it is he has to compete with many other book manufacturers. This is a fair sample of Democratic legislation and we would not be surprised to see the bill become a law. It is to be hoped that no Republican will vote for the bill; BLIZZARDS AND DEATH One of the fiercest snow storms known for years has been raging in the northwest. The scene of the awful blizzard was mainly in Dakota. Distressing reports of death from cold are given, School children overtaken by the blinding storms lost their way and perished, farmers on their way from town were loft and frozen. Hundreds of people in Dakota and Minnesota perished. Many persons were found frozen within a few feet of their homes, one lady who had started to go only a short distance to her home lost her way and was found dead seven miles away. Thermometers registered 50 degrees below zero. Stock of all kinds were frozen by the hundreds. Such suffering and death was never known in the North before, DEMOCRACY vs., LABOR The recent trouble between the Courier Journal and the Typographical Union but shows the true inwardness of the party which that great paper represents and leads. Claiming to be the friend of the workingmen in one issue the Courier Journal is sending to distant cities ---- a force of “rats” enemies of honorable organized labor to support the very laborer that put its editorial in type. Without any warning forty skilled union printers are locked out and their places given to rebel “rats” Here we have Democracy’s pretenses and practices brought face to face. The organ of the party has violated its contracts and pledges, likewise does the party. Away with such principles. Honeyed words for the workingman’s ear but the iron heel of oppression for his neck. Labor organization of every class are awakening and holding meetings to protect against the course of this great Democratic paper. Prominent Republicans attend these meetings and express their sincere sympathy with the workmen and join with them in their protest against their oppressors. The reward of Merit Our first bed in Washington Territory was a discarded bath tub with a grip sack for a pillow and the blue clouds of heaven for counterpane. That was years ago, but we slept well with a clear conscience and the swish swash of the muddy Williamett as a lullaby. Look at us now! Through honest endeavor and with some effort we have risen to the chief editorship of the Milton Eagle. Our bed is more pleasant- a cellar door on two cracker boxes, nice straw and that same clear conscience with the addition of a loving family who share our enviable standing on the topmost round on the ladder of fame. And as we w--- the mighty ------ of human destinies and look down the dim vista of the past, one mind reverts to the ------- insignificant fact that there is short $1,000 subscription due on this paper and there isn’t a dime in the house and our neighbor Elant, has tied a dog in his woodshed. But such is ----- although it is always the best policy.-Milton Eagle The names of Jeff Taylor, Logansport, R. R. Walding, Rosine and F. L. Vaughn, Rochester, should have ------ in Honor Roll Column 3 The Morgantown Brass band Morgantown, Ky. Jan. 20, 1888 For the purpose of organization a brass band in Morgantown, Ky.

Howard The Local Paper Each year every local paper gives from $500 to $5000 in free lines for the benefit of the community in which it is located, said Judge David Davis, not long before he died. No other agency can or will do this. The editor in proportion to his means does more for his own town than any other ten men and in all fairness, man with man he ought to be supported, not because you may happen to like him or admire his writing but because a local paper is the best investment a community can make, It may not be brilliant or crowded with more of a benefit to a community than a preacher or teacher. Understand us now, we do not mean morally or intellectually, but financially: and yet for the moral question you will find the majority of the local papers are on the right side of the question. Today the editors or local papers do the most work for the least money of any men on earth. Subscribe for your local paper not as a charity but as an investment. Printer’s journal To The Tax Payers Of Butler County The time has arrived for the return of the delinquent list and it would have been returned last Monday had a Quorum of magistrates been present. It will now be returned on the 2nd Monday in March and will be immediately published. All desiring not to be published as delinquents can save themselves thereof by coming forward and settling their tax before the 2nd Monday in March. The County Court has usually ordered the delinquent tax list published in both papers published in the county and I presume will do so again. Respectfully J. T.

The symptoms of Biliousness are unhappily but too well known. They differ in different individuals to some extent. A Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids, but none for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time: If it is not white and furred it is rough at all events. The digestive system is wholly out of order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be a symptom, or the two may alternate. There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatulence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach. To correct all this if not effect a cure, try Green’s August Flower, It cost but a trifle and thousands attest its efficacy.
