"Miss Lucy," the pet gooso which belonged to the lato Mr. Charley Sullenger and about which Tho Republican printed an article last spring, is absolutely lost slnco the death of Us master. This novel pet was' very devoted to Mr. Sullenger before his death and unless he sent it back, would follow him to tho business part of town and -into the stores, but forced to stay at home tho faithful fowl would always meet Its Idol upon his return In1 tho afternoon. During his last illness he would call to tho goose from his bed and It would omp running, qtiuck-Ing all tho while.

Now that its Idol is gone "Miss Lucy" is very lonely and seems despondent. She searches tho place dally for her master. A strange talo of a wandering pig was told to us yesterday by Mr. Geo. Jones of near Hartford.

The pig in question belongs to Mr. Hobart Baughni who lives a few miles above town and on the other side of Rough river. It became dissatisfied with Its location last Thursday night and broko out of its pen, wandered down to the river and probably having heard of great country and riches on tho other side, decided to set out and seek fortune over hero. He plunged Into the icy waters and began his long Journey. Next heard of the wanderer ho was a prisoner on the farm of Mr.

Henry PIrtle. People of that section are wondering how the pig made the crossing for it was necessary for him to swim through fifty 'yards of back water besides fighting Rough river with 'its four mile current- The pig Is only 7 weeks old and didn't weigh over 15 pounds. Can you beat It? This little pork was raised by Mr. William Lake, Route 5, which probably accounts for Its daring spirit. A distinguished visitor to Hartford last Friday was Col.

Murray, oT Hardlnsburg. While horo the Col-onol was In the Republican office and wo got him started on some Civil War stories- Here's one that he gaye us. For Bomo time Col. Murray's regiment was stationed at Hopkins-vlllo and during that time a prisoner was taken and condemned to bo shot as a spy. Col.

Murray, then a subordinate officer was ordered to tako chargo of tho execution tho next morning at daybreak. Ho loaded tho guns of tho firing squad, putting blanks in half of them and bullets In tho rest. Tho men were stationed In what was then known as tho old Boat Houso, because If its peculiar shape, aud tho condemned roan was locked in ono of Jno rooms of the old houso. Everything was prepared for tho execution and tho hours slipped by. Tho Colonol was by uo means enthusiastic over the Job and dreaded It almost as much as tho prisoner.

Sometime during tho night, however, some new evi dence was Introduced and ho was" ordered to stay tho execution. Ho went in to tell the prisoner of tho good news. Tho mental picture, says Mr. Murray, Is still visible. Ho opened the door and saw the man lying on his rude bed of strnw, face burled In his arms, undoubtedly thinking of tho fate which was to meet him upon the appearance of the sUn, tho birds and other things merry.

Colonel Murray broko tho good news, tho man sighed, turned over and said, "thank God." A few weeks ago Colonel Murray received a letter postmarked New York. Ho broko open tho envelope, read the letter, and imagine tho surpriso of tho ex-Adjutant General when ho saw that it was front this same man whom he had been ordered to execute. The letter stated that the writer well remembered Mr. Murray and could still hear his volco announcing mercy. Colonel Murray was In Hartford once during the War and was near here a second time.

On one occasion while riding at the front of his regiment with the Lieut. Colonel near Hartford they were met by a volley of shots. Mr. Murray was riding a spirited Kentucky horse which, being scared by the shots, threw him. Tho men though him dead but he was soon up again unhurt and a search waB started for tho enemy.

The small woods ahead was searched quickly and carefully but not a man could be found. It was quite a strange Incident as there must have been several men In tho firing party. The Colonel thinks now that there was a cavo somewhere in the woods and the Rebs fired and Immediately sought refuge in the cave. Colonel Murray is a splendid type of Southern gentleman, tall and graceful he moves about with the ease of many years his Junior. Your Chance To Buy Groceries.

B. Wilson, after hearing the evidence, held'each of the defendants to answer tothe coming February term of the grand Jury In the sum of $250 each and 'each" was permitted to go on lils own recognizance, and the sum of $50 for their appearance before he grand Jury. The writs which charged the same offenses were issued on the oath of W. E. Dunn, of Cromwell.

It seems that Dunn came to Beaver Dam Thursday or Friday and as an accommodation brought $89 in checks for a friend at Cromwell to be cashed. After cashing the checks it is said Dunn got too much "booze' and in the meantime lost his money and separate writs were issued charging the above named defendants with getting the money, ail of which they deny.

Louis. ISLAND DRUGGIST MAKES CONFESSION PLI'MDS GUILTY TO ILLICIT SALE OF LIQUOR IV CALHOUN COURT. Calhoun, Jan. 26. A signal success for law enforcement was achieved In Circuit Court, here yesterday when A.

R. Pollock, a druggist of Island, on a plea of guilty was fined $150 for Illicit sale of liquor and his solemn obligation hereaftpr refrain from selling same was obtained from him by Commonwealth's Attorney Smith. It developed during the early days of the regular term of the McLean Circuit Court, which began January 17th, that a vast number of the best citizens of the Island neighborhood had for quite a while been of the opinion that the liquor laws were being flagrantly violated In that community and In order to fix the responsibility for same and to put a stop thereto quite a number of the citizens several months ago set about to procure the evidence necessary for such purpose. Tho productloh of the evidence accumulated by these people showed conclusively where the responsibility, for at least a large portion of the illicit liquor lay and when same was laid before Commonwealth's Attorney Smith he promptly filed Information In Circuit Court, charging Pollock with violating the law In nine separate counts or instances. Pollock was promptly brought before the Court by appropriate process and the prosecutions set for trial Monday, January 24th.

On account of. other matters claiming attention of the Court the prosecutions against Pollock were not reached until Tuesday afternoon, at which time the Commonwealth's Attorney promptly announced ready for trial. The defendant announced not ready and asked the Court to continue the cases until the next term 'but Was unable to show sufficient grounds therefor, and the Court directed 'that the trial proceed. A Jury was selected and at the moment they were about to be sworn, tho defendant through friends sought a consultation with the Commonwealth's Attorney with a view of reaching an adjustment of tho whole matter. At the end of a conference lasting about an hour an agreement was reached, which follows: Whereas, There are a certain number of nrosecutions In the McLean Circuit Court against the defendant, A VcUnrV nrr-nslnir him OI sell- j.

wa.wvf inK liquor in a local option district, and of selling liquor without license, and whereas the defendant has enter ed Dlea of guilty in three of these prosecutions" and Judgment has been entered in same, it is hereby agreed thnt the remaininK six of said prose cutions shall be continued until tho next term of this and then the said prosecutions at said term shall be filed away by the Common wealth's Attorney of this district, with leave to Te-lnstate upon his. motion or the motion of the County Attorney of the McLean County Court without notice to tho defendant in each of said prosecutions. In consideration of tho facts and orders and agreements as above stated, the defendant, A. R. Pollock, hereby agrees and binds himself to Surrender to tho Commonwealth's Attorney of this District his Govern-.

ment License issued to him, authoriz ing him to retail spirituous or vinous liquors as issued to him by the United States Government, and he further agrees and binds himself that be will not sell any more' spirituous, vinous or malt liquors nor procure. any more license, and that he will not keep any spirituodsj vinous or malt liquor In his store, or on hands, except the alcohol necessary to be used by a regular druggist In compounding medicines, and he agrees not to retain or have in his place of business alcohol to exceed two gallons per month, and In order to show the good faith of the 'defendant, A. Pollock herein, as td his intentions in carrying out his agreement as above 'stated, he hereby agrees that Dr. J. S.

Fltzhugh, of Island, may have free access to his drug store and place of business in the town of Island, Kentucky, to examine and search same and ascertain and report to any inquirer as to whether or not any liquors aro be- Itug kept by this defendant, which. ho has agreed as hereinbefore set out that ho will not keep or soil on said premises at Island, Kentucky. It is further agreed that this agreement "be spread upon tho order book of this court. "Witness his signature this tho 25th day of January, 1910. A.

Thus has been accomplished In less than ono' week by prompt and vigorous action on part of Comonwealth's Attorney Smith, and the co-operation of the people tho suppression of the Illicit traffic in liquor In tho good llttlo town of Island. i THE PRICK OF CHEMICALS.

STILL GOING HKYVARI Since the outbreak of the war tho prices of chemicals, especially thoso used on photographic processcs.navo advanced to tho point where they aro almost prohibitive. In practically every instance whero the quotations of the present week aro compared with thoso (n effect before the war the Increase has liee.ii at least 100 per cent. In several cases the1 increase Is even greater. Prices of drugs have advanced almost without exception. In many cases it is impossible to obtain moro than half tho quantity formerly sold for a fixed price.

Tho constantly Increasing cost is also notlceablo la the purchase of medicine. Bromide of potash, used in medicine, has advanced from 35 cents to $6 a pound. Benzole, formerly sold at 50 cents a gallon, now costs $1 a gallon. Collodion, another chemical widely used, now sells at $1 a pound. Hydroqulnone, usjyl extensively la the mixing of photographic developers, sold at 80 cents a pound befora the war; $7.50 a pound Is the present quotation, and there is precious little to be had at that price evcnn Metol, another Important Ingredient in the mixing of developer, has leaped from $4.90 a pound to $30.

Iodide of ammonia formerly sold for $3.50 a pound. It is now quoted at $4.20. Iodine rcsublime has advanced from $3.15 a pound to $4.30, while iodide of potash has advanced from $2.65 to $3.76. There has been a tremendous increase in the cost of acids, especially nitric acid. It sold at 4 1-2 cents per pound before the outbreak, of the war; but there are plenty pf buyers now at 12 cents per pound.

The price of metals has also soared. Zinc is a fair example. Ten cents a pound was the price before the war timo quotation. Now zinc sells at 28 cents a pound. Notice.

To vhom it may concern: The firm ot Dexter Baker, formerly doing a business in the town of Beaver Dam, was, by mutual agreement, dissolved on tho 28th day May, 1915. On said date F. O. Baker sold his entire Interest in said partnership business to Otho Dexter, the said Dexter assuming the payment of all Indebtedness against said partnership and all notes and accounts due said firm should be paid to Mr. Dexter.

30t4 F. O. BAKER. The Seventh Reason. In a letter the New York American of January 12, John Brlsben Walker made six reasons Vwhy Mr.

Wilson will not be nominated." He fails to mention the one great reason why he ought not to be renominated and why ho cannot be reelected if nominated. That ope rea-' son far outweighs all tho six which. Mr. Walker names. No other reason need be cited.

This is the fact that Woodrow Wilson is chiefly responsible for the very worst Tariff law ever enacted; a Tariff law that brought in Its train a paralysis of industry, of wage earning, wage paying and wage cpe: that In tho first ten months of Its operation, prior to the Outbreak of the European war had produced the largest unemployment, the worst condition of business In general, the greatest number ot commercial failures ever konwn in the country's history. This should be the seventh reason, and Mr. Walker should have named it first; like the man who had thirteen reasons why he refused to lend ten dollars, and mentioned the thirteenth reason first of all, namely, that he didn't, have ten dollars. Glan Antonio Cassol, a Milanese boy only 15 years of ago, has been proposed for the distinguished service medal for successive acts of valor on the Italian front. Sept.

7, while heading a daring reconnaissance right up to the enemy's barbed de-tenses, he was felled' by an Austrian bullet, which went through his neck to tho lung. There h'o lay 10 hours no aid being possible. Then he managed to crawl toward the Italian trenches under a 'hall of bullets, but was too exhausted through loss ot blood to reach the lines. Then his admiring captain gave orders that a detachment should bring him in at all costs, living or dead. Ambiguous.
