Fire at St. Matthews.*
St. Matthews, March 14.?About
5 o'clock this morning the alarm of
fire was given and for the first time
. the fire laddies had a real opportun/
;V ity to test the new waterworks, and
be it said to their everlasting credit
thev cut short what might have been
X one of the most destructive fires
winch ever occurred in St. Matthews.
The fire originated in the store of
^ Mr. W. A. Price in the Mach building
and was completely destroyed so
far as stock and inside work goes.
He carries some insurance, but not
half sufficient to cover the loss.
Adjoining the store of Mr. Price
was the office of Dr. A. R. Able
which, while sustaining no fire damage,
was deluged with water, destroy|
ing books, papers and instruments.
Dr. Able is amply secured.
?; Next in the building is the store ocV
" copied by Mr. N. B. Foures and while
' i his stock is almost ruined by water
he sustained no fire damage. Mr.
roures carnea no insurance.

Brutal Assault Made.
: Columbia, March i3.?With the
; * right eye gone and lying unconscious
v'i; since six o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the life of Little Venessee Jowers,
the six year old son of Mr. J. M.
r Jotters of 1305 Elmwood Avenue is
in the balance, awaiting the change
v for life or death as the hour may de?V
cide his fate. '>
Yesterday afternoon a colored girl
by the name of Elizabeth Ford was
qn the premises for the purpose of
.,bringing some milk, according to a
n/ statement of the girl's uncle. At any
, rate the two children of Mr. Jowers,
the injured child and Illinois Jowers,
a ten year old brother were in the
yard with, the colored girl and Mr.

and ran into the yard. Lying on the
ground, unconscious, in a pool of
I:. Blood with a brick by his side and a
wound in the right eye and temple,
V was the form of his little son, Venessee.
&
A physician was summoned, but
the right eye was gone. The child's
condition is critical.
Illinois Jowers also received a slight
injury in the face from brick bats
and the girl, Elizabeth Ford in court
this morning with a bloody bandage
around her head and her uncle stated
that yesterday afternoon she came
home covered with blood. Mr. Jowers,
however, denied that she was
hurt when she left his premises. He
stated that when he came into the
yard she dodged him and he ran for
a considerable distance before mak
ing a capture.
A preliminary was given her by Recorder
Stanley this morning and it is
probable that the case will go to the
court of general sessions in June. The'
girl will be held without bail until it
can be learned whether the child's injuries
will prove fatal.
"Night Riders" Burn Barns.
Versailles, Ky., March 14.-Three
barns in Woodford county and one
lust across the line in Scott were
burned early to-day by masked men.
The men were on horseback and in
'buggies, the party numbering not
more than 50. A number of shots
were fired, but as far as known no
body was hurt. The barns destroyed
belonged to George Strange, on Harris
estate near Midway; Hardin Rogers
on the Tucker place in Scott county;
Capt. James Williams, formerly
owner of the race horse Ram's Horn,
at Spring Station; George Graddy on
the Field turnpike. The men came
from the direction of Scott county.
They cut all telephone wires and the
amount of damage done is not yet
known. Gov. Willson and party of
legislators were returning from Lexington
to Frankfort on a trolley car
and passed the "night riders" without
knowing it near McKee's Cross
Roads.
THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY.
HON. J. O. PATTERSON DELIVERS
POINTED SPEECH.
Discusses Roosevelt's Appointees and
Recent Acts of Certain
Federal Judges.
Recently Hon. J. 0. Patterson,
member cf congress from this district,
discussed the Federal judiciary
system in the house of representatives.
The subject under discussion
* Ml !?J. J.. ?? J Dnf FAY*_
was a Dili miruuuccu uy x?xx. x ohwson.
We publish below portions of
the speech:
Mr. Chairman: The distinguished
gentlemen of this House who have indulged
in speechmaking at this session
of Congress have taken a very wde
range and have discussed in an able, intelligent,
interesting, and exhaustive
manner a great variety of subjects,
embracing legislative, judicial, executive,
and political. It seems to be
the rule in general debate upon a bill
for the Member addressing the House
to speak about anything and everything
except the subject-matter of
the pending measure, and I will not
at this time make an exception to the
rule, but will take advantage of the
time allotted to me to address the
nnnn fti/n snhiAnts. contained
HUUxTV/ U|/ViA w?? V ^v. ,
in separate bills which I have introduced
at this session of Congress. To
my mind these are very important
I matters, and I trust that the Members
of this House will give me their
attention and these measures that
due and careful consideration which
they deserve.
The first of . these to which I ask
your attention is H. R. 16758, which
provides: "That no judge of any
court of the United States inferior
to the Supreme Court shall issue any
writ of injunction or prohibition in
any case wherein the validity of a law
of any State of the United States, or
the act of any officer of any such
State done, or required to be done,
in pursuance of such law, is called in
question." In view of the recent acts
of Federal judges, fresh in the minds
of the people, assuming powers never
delegated to them, this question becomes
of great interest and importoBna
finnh on QQBTjmnf.inn of Dower
, CU2VrW>? k/UVM ?M? ?*ww??M.r _ . .
by the judges of the United States
courts can not be too severely criticised
and condemned. It is calculated
to bring about a clash and conflict
between the State and Federal authorities,
and a check should be placed
upon them and they should be compelled
to respect the sovereign rights
of the States to enact laws and to en|
force them, subject onto to jnterfer1
ence by injunction of^he supreme
court of the State or of the Supreme
| Court of the JJnited States.
I Since the expiration of the Fiftyninth
Congress the people of the United
States have witnessed many
things tending *to demonstrate the
correctness of Jefferson's solemn declaration
that Federal judges are the
"sappers and miners" of despotism.
We have seen Federal judges attempting
to nullify the laws of the
States by granting injunctions forbidding
and restraining the officers
1 - -* ?? -it i.L ri.
of the States 01 Virginia iNoruioarulina,
Alabama, and Minnesota, who
are charged with the execution of the
laws of those States, to execute those
laws, unless and until the Supreme
, Court of the United States has passed
upon their validity, thus making
State lawsenforcible only upon a condition
never contemplated by the
framers of the Constitution of the
United States.. And we have seen
this new usurpation of authority followed
immediately upon the suggestion
of the President, who appointed
the particular judges guilty of such
usurpation, that the Constitution
needed to be remodeled by executive,
legislative, and judicial constructions,
and not by amendments in the proper
and authorized manner, in order to
adapt it to the needs of the times.
In this way, by the appointment to
judgeships of men who are overzealous
to please their benefactor,
the President is seeking and securing
what amounts to a veto upon all State
legislation, absolutely destroying the
sovereignty of the State by indirection.
I desire to call attention to a publication
of the Department of Justice,
nroconf rear gnH
1&&UCU UU1111? UiC pivcv/iiu >~*v.
entitled "A list of United States
Judges, Attorneys, and Marshals."
This document shows that since his
accession to office in 1901 President
Roosevelt has appointed Federal
judges as follows:
Supreme Court of the United
States, three associate judges?onethird
of the membership of that great
tribunal.
Circuit courts of the United States,
twelve of the twenty-nine judges,
or 41.7 per cent.
District courts of the United States,
forty-two of the eighty judges or 52.5
rvA* /innf f
Judging these appointees by the
character of Judges Pritchard and
Jones, we may assume that some of
them, at least, hold the opinions of
the appointing authority respecting
the necessity of changing the Constitution
by judicial construction in
order to meet the exigencies of those
corporations which contribute most
liberally to the corruption fund of
the Republican party.
And before his present term expires
the President will probably
have the opportunity of packing the
courts with enough men of the same
class to insure the perpetuation of
his so-called "policies," by judicial
action, unless we act as our predecessors
did in 1802, and deprive some of
these useless and time-serving judges
of some or all of their judicial powers.
Disregarding the fact that be!
. ^ ~ *
fore March 4, 1909, there is a probability
of our having seven Roosevelt
judges on the Supreme Court bench,
we may by that time have in office
for life seventeen of the twenty-nine
circuit court judges and forty-seven
of the eighty district court judges.
If Mr. Roosevelt should be re-elected,
as many of our Republican friends
anticipate, we should probably have
on the bench by 1913, as Roosevelt
appointees, twenty of the twentynine
circuit court judges and fiftynine
of the eighty district court
judges. If this should happen the
hands of Congress and of every State
legislature would surely be tied hard
an/*J -Poof K\r ncnrnntirtn Will
auu xagv kjj juuiwmi * ...
the people of the Union submit to
this? Will we, as the representatives
of the people of the States, submit to
it? I think not. I know that it ought
not to be submitted to. We have the
power to abolish these inferior Federal
courts. Cujus est instituere ejus est
abrogare. Shall we be dominated,
abused, insulted, racked, and ruined
by our creatures, or shall we put an
end to their insolence and their usurpations
by following the precedent
established in 1802? In principle it
is our right to abolish these inferior
courts.
As to the question of expediency, it
lies wholly within our legislative discretion
to continue them under proper
restrictions of jurisdiction and powers,
or to discontinue them and provide
a different system, to be administered
by new appointees, whose
antecedents prove that they respect
the "inestimableinstitution of juries''
and are hot disposed to exercise usurped
power in order to nullify the
laws of the States and the constitu
tional rights of citizens by means 01
writs of injunction or prohibition or
by punishments inflicted for constructive
contempts of court. To this
end I favor the complete reorganization
of the Federal judiciary, and
shall, in all probability, introduce a
bill for that purpose, unless the evils
of the present system can be remedi!
ed by milder means.
| The other bill I have reference to
is H. R. 16952, which amends the act
of 1887 as to removal of causes from
the State courts to the United States
courts and fixes the sum or value involved
in any suit of which the circuit
courts of the United States have
! original cognizance, concurrent with
1 the courts of the several States, at
$20,000 instead of $2,000 as now provided
by said act.
For further good and sufficient reasons
why this bill should become a
law I will state what you all know,
what has been shown in the experience
of every practicing lawyer in
this country, that the Federal courts
are held by the people of the country
in more awe than the State courts;
they are not looked upon with favor
or regarded with the same degree of
confidence as State courts; they are
i -il- 1 3
lar removea irom uie peupie mm
frequently are presided over by
judges appointed by the President
from other and distant States from
that in which they preside; they are
personally unknown to the people,
and I regret to say that the knowledge
or information the people have
gathered concerning some of these
judges is not reassuring and not calculated
to inspire confidence, respect,
or esteem. [Applause.]
The people value more highly than
any other the right of trial by jury.
That right is, often ruthlessly swept
aside by a Federal judge in charging
a jury upon the facts or in instructing
a verdict. For these and many
other reasons the people and litigants
generally throughout the rural districts
are restless and dissatisfied
under the present judicial system of j
the United States and look upon the
Federal courts, as notf established,
sis foreign tribunals, whose presiding
officers are not in touch or sympathy j
with the masses of the people and
who are altogether ignorant of the
character, habits, and customs of the
people over whom they wield judicial!
authority after the manner of a

der this system equity, justice, and

Herd of Grade
Beef Cattle.
i* =o
It is with the grade herd that the
chief interest of the ordinary farmer
lies as a beef producer. In refereuee
to the use of pure bred sires in building
up a herd from native cows it may
be said that cattle which show the
colors and qualities of the beef breeds
sell better than those that do not. and
this is sufficient reason for using a bull
of one of the beef breeds whenever
the object is to produce beef animals
for sale. Buyers are of the, opinion
that pure bred beef animals and also
the grades of pure bred sires produce
the best quality of beef as well as the
greatest number of pounds of dressed
meat per hundred pounds live weight
It is a fact that animals vary greatly
NATIVE MISSISSIPPI COW.
[Dam of the heifer in the second cut.]
in the percentage of dressed meat they
will yield. Common cattle with bad
treatment dress from 40 to 50 per cent
while pure bred and grade cattle with
better treatment dress from 55 to 65
per cent Some few dress 67 to 69 per
cent.
Tho food pt?h njifitiimcr** for the dam
should very properly be charged to
I each calf until the next calf is dropped.
This is a very important matter
in handling a herd of beef cattle. If a
calf should be had from each cow each
year and every calf could be raised
each calf would only have to stand a
comparatively small feed bill for its
dam. Every effort should be made to
secure a calf each year and to raise it,
and any neglect in this line is sure to
be felt in lessening the profits.
In starting to change a herd from
natives to grades spring is generally
preferred to fall. The common calves
dropped then should be made to pay
expenses until the grade calves are
being dropped, otherwise thie first lot
of grade calves will have very high
feed hills for their dams.
Also it is just as important to cull
the unprofitable dams from a beef
GBADE ANGUS HEIFEB,
[At two years old.]
herd as It is from a dairy herd. A
cow that will not breed regularly and
that does not give enough milk to
raise a good calf will not be a profitable
cow if the calf must depend on
the dam for its support while young.
Cows that make good mothers and
that drop a calf each year are the
ones that are wanted in a beef" herd.
Shy breeders and young heifers that
have not been bred are not desirable
in establishing a herd of grade beef
cattle.
Enormous Marketing.
High prices draw the cattle. That is
a market axiom. Over a million head
reached western stockyards during
September, a movement that does not
cast credit on the shortage shouters.
It would seem that the country is making
more beef than ever. This probably
is the case, and such runs would
demoralize markets but for tne ract
that consumption has been running
away ahead of production. Liquidation
is, however, to be reckoned with
in the market movement that has astounded
the trade recently.
Until ten days ago everything that
bore the* faintest resemblance to a
sound mouthed ewe sold so readily in
the stockyards'that salesmen were habitually
accusing themselves of giving
the stuff away despite the fact that it
was selling at the highest prices on
record and far higher than killers
could afford to pay.
All markets have enjoyed an unprecedented
demand. Brewing ewes have
sold at prices that would have appeared
fabulous ten years ago, the
bulk of yearling ewes selling on the
, Chicago market as high as $7. All this
stuff has been taken into the farming
belt by experienced men and enthusiastic
amateurs with a common object,
the raising of lambs and founding of
flocks, says the Breeder's Gazette.
Melting Point of Butter.
One of the interesting facts illustrated
by experimental work at the Montana
station is that for the first two
weeks after churning the melting point
of butter Is higher than it ever is again
and that after the first two weeks the
general tendency of the melting point
Is to become lower and lower. A deduction
from this fact would be that
if the dairyman is desirous of having
the butter retain its hard, firm body
he should plan to have the butter reach
the consumer's table some time before
it Is two weeks' old If it is intended
for immediate consumption.
Paraffining Butter Tube*
The advantages of paraffining butter
tubs have been enumerated as follows:
1 Certain prevention of moldy tubs.
2. Prevention of mold on butter and
liner by avoiding air space. 3. Neater
appearance of tub. 4. Reduction of
loss from shrinkage. I
