county recentl advertised gallows for stile It was a good gallows made of steel and only slightly used The county never had much use for it at any stage of the game though the oldest inhabitant has a faint recollection that a negro was ushered into eternity bmcnns of it at some period since the clos of the civil war It has been re tanned however as a horrible ex maple to other colored persons o Christian county which has what most of the Kentucky counties re gard as a surplus Now that th State of Kentucky is threatening to electrocute somebody at th Eddyvillc penitentiary steel gib bets have been relegated to the category of last years birds nests and Christian county is willing to sell her gallows at a great reduc tion Most of the states in the Union have abandoned the gallows habit and the only offer the jailer of Christian County has had for the instrument of death comes from a college up in Michigan The Coll ege doesnt want to hang anybody although Michigan is not lacking in firstclass hanging material In deed there is room for suspicion that the college folks are under the impression that the jailer is offering a pair of suspenders for sale as they write We wish to place them on the College campus as a relic of Good Old Kentucky However that may be the Chris tian county jailer is not without a keen sense of the eternal fitness of things and he doesnt propose to have them gallows displayed as- a souvenir of Kentucky He has written to the college to say that he has some conscientious scroupl es against letting his death machine be used for any such purpose and in the course of his letter he says It is a fact that until recently the barborus practice was employ in this state in executing criminals yet I am informed that we have about kept pace with our sister states in abolishing the practice and we are not anxious that the youthof your great section be im pressedwith a false notion of our earlier citizenship To say the least of it if you teach to them the history of our nation they willI know the founders of our civil in stitutions were the nations buildI ers and defenders and the obiect lesson on your campus would indeed be contradictory andconfus ing Score one for good old Kentuc ky She may have her faults but she doesnt look upon a gallows as typically representative of her civilization of the past or the pres ent and she doesnt think very muchof the article as an ornament for a college campus Doubtless there will he some dissnpointment in Michigan at the failure to land them gallows as an educational exhibit but if the jailers letter is duly pondered the effort will not have been all in vain If the mildrebuke is read and heeded some pinheaded individual con nected with the college aforesaid will receive a lesson more valuable than any he is likely to find in the curriculum of his institution for Sale I have 140 acres of land for sale as a whole or will divide as follows 50 acres with house and other im provements or 50 acres withonly

be tween the United States and Canada There is no doubt that the Democrats will fall in line in favor of the measure backing up President Taft President Taft himself does not seem to be wor rying over the passage of the treaty as he is convinced that the matter is now up to the American people to decide for themselves through their representatives He is however determined to gain action regarding the measure even iftl special session of Con gress has to be called The possibility of a special session of Con gress is not worrying the Wash ington folk however as it is gen erally conceded that even in the light of the short time remaining in the present session the treaty will be decided upon immediately bank Stock For Sale On Saturday Feb 11 at 9 oclock p m at the Court House door in Mt

disappointment to his many friends and admirers throughout the State and is generally considered as an illtimpd andunfortunate document The fact that Mr Johnson is a Catholic did him no injury whatever in this county and so far as we are advised this is true of every section of the State To entertain such a prejudice is a reflection upon ones intelligence This alleged objection was never mentioned here and we are forced to believe Mr Johnsons fears in this respect were greatly exaggerated if not entirely unwarranted His own political career covering many years of success is a complete refutation of his present misgivings We have always admired Mr Johnson andre ret very much that he felt called upon to brim forward proposition that has not and shouldnot be an issue in this or any other political campaign In withdrawing however we feel he made a wise decision as it has been deImocracI ing would have been engendered had he remained candidate to the end and his withdrawal removes

wonderful way of walking unseen making themselves invisible like certain spiders which in case of alarm caused for example by a bird alighting on the bush their webs are spreadupon immediately bounce themselves up and down on their elastic threads so rapidly that only a blur is visible The wild Indian power of escaping observation even where there is little of no cover to hide in was probably slowly ac quired in hard hunting and fight ing lessons while trying to approach game take enemies by surprise or get safely away when compelled to retreat And this experience trans mitted through many generations seems at length to have become what is vaguely called instinctJohn Muir in the Atlantic AVIATOR CORD AND WIRE The arrival of the aeroplane has given us a new industry or rather a modification of an old one namely that of manufacturing aviator cord andaviator wire Time Uocblings have devised a special kind of wire aviator cord to be used for stays on aeroplanes The cord consists of a number of fine wires of great strengthstranded together The strengthof the different sizes runs approximately from 2000 to 2300 pounds For steering gear a more flexible cord is provided composed of six strands of seven wires each with a center of either cotton or wire The aviator wire differs from aviator cord in that it consists ofa single wire instead ofa number of wires twisted together The wire JB made in 12 sizes with a breaking strength that varies from 2000 pounds to 175 Scientific American u HAS HO SUBSTITWE II POWDER Absolutely Pure The only baking powder GrapmCream NO

squabsr years Her old mother stood neutral on the great question to be solved but her father who was a village physician tookn rather selfish view of it andargued If you write books none of nn patients will buy them if you raise squabs they will order more or less of the birds on my prescriptions The squabites probably would have carried the day but for fin accident One day Miss1 Lucy sat under a blos soming apple tree She was not feel ing gay Her thoughts turned tto sad things and having the stub of a penciland a piece of paper handy she wrote a sad poem entitled WillI They Miss Me When Im Gone Without saying a word to anyone she sent the verses to the Cold Harbor Weekly Record They were nott only published but the editor caller1I attention to them editorially TT stated that a new Kipling hadarisen and that within a year the worldjI would be singing her praise There was nothing coldhearted1I about the Cold Harbor Record TIll editor wrote Miss Lucy a very flat tering letter He would have sentl her a check for 200 if financially able He would never be financially r able to send anything but the Rw i I His Career Was Decided ord but would see that that reached literarylightsto have a beginning The Record ofTered Miss Lucy the needed steppingstone It would publish all her poetry and it would be delighted to have her dish up the news of her village and the

be at rest and the libelsuit would have to be quashed The young lady did not jump into the water She hadnt arrivedat that point yet She was just think ing about it when the henchon which she sat broke clown It was a sharp declivity to the bluff and then a 1111oj three feett and she went rolling to plump into the stream Perhaps she screamed Whatever she did or not made no difference to the young man coming along in the stoppedhissupporting her befon ahe hardly un derstood what had happened There was quite a struggle to reach shore and when it was accomplishedshe was picked up in her wet state and deposited in the auto and all the young man said was Point out your house as we come to it please- The doctor as well as the mother were at borne Miss Lucy was whiskedoff to her room andafter the doctor had received a brief ex planation of the affair the autoist excused himself and departed He carne next day however as was very proper Miss Lucy received him as was very proper The father and mother rendered tthanks And wlnyi the hero handed out his card ho thought it also very proper to add in explanation 1run1 the plaintiff in the 50000 libel suit you know I ordered it discontinued this morning IIe- ant save a young ladys life and then sue her too can 1I They told me all wrong about it pleaded Miss Lucy andvon dont know how sorry I have been Well talk it over some day when I get over being a desperado And they are talking it over sp frequently and talking other things with it that the doctor shakes his head in a dubious way and says to the wifeThis is going to be a lonesome house

than a month later J loot Roads Much has been said and written on the subject of good roads Much more in fact than lots been part1 pose of this article to criticise the road and street condition for the notsfamiliar with the conditions that confront the County and City in the maintenance of the roads and streets but simply to offer some suggestions that seem to br ooiiil economical and PIlIcticnlIThe first and most important thing to be considered is the quality of the stone the second is the economy of applying it and the third the skill with which it is appliedLooking at the lfirst proposition if the County and city willget together and get options on as ninny quarries as thev think advisable and within a Ireasonable distance of the city take samples of stone from each quarry to the State College have them analized par ticularly with reference to their use for McAdam and buy such a quarry This quarry of course should be near the C 0 It H tracts Let the county and city join with each other buy this quar ry buy and install a crusher with ample capacityl to meet the re quirements This being done se cure from the C 0 road the privilege of constructing bins under the Coal Road Trestle where the stone may be dumped from the cars into bins and by chutes into wagons This will secure the greatest economy in handling After this the only thing remain ing will be the services of a good road builder- It will be claimed of course that this will necessitate the outlay of considerable capital which is true probably an investment of 810000 or 12000 will be required By this means the county pikes can be kept up for a distance of two to two and a half miles from the Court House and certainly the city can have the cheapest and best streets she ever hind The Fiscal Court and City Council may tell us they have no funds which is probably true But where is the farmer or business man that will not donate something toward raising 10000 or 12000 if they can be assured their roads andstreets can be better more economically maintained 0 f course politics should be entirely eliminated and every goodcitizen should feel that economy and quality are the only things to be consideredWe the serious considera tion of the Fiscal Court and City Council to these suggestions and trust some good may be devised from them W P 0y Take Notice Through the courtesy of the Ramsey Syndicate City billposters of Mt Sterling there will be post ed in our city four posters of two different designs showing the cause and prevention of Tuberculosis One poster shows how by a careless consumptive spitting upon the floors of his rooms the tuberculosis germ is carried to the other members of the family and the other poster shows very graphical ly how tuberculosis may be con racted by sleeping in rooms where there is no fresh air It has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that tubercu losis is not hereditary but is a contagious disease very much like SmallPox or Typhoid Fever and can be prevented if the persons having the disease will be careful and not scatter it by careless spit tingThrough the generosity of the National Billposting Association these educational posters are being displayed in over four hundred towns and cities in the United States The posters which will be displayed in 32 cities in Kentucky are sent out by the Kentucky As sociation for the study and

are known to have been killed seven mere are missing hundreds were wounded and oaring reports leave from fif teen to twenty more unaccounted for I conserIvative estimate of the dead and property damage will hardly fall below 750000 The cause is variously attributed to the dropping of a case of dynamite and to a boiler explosion on a boilt Just what was the direct cause orobab Ily never will be known The Jersey Central terminal was wrecked three ferryboats in the slips were torn andsplintered lower Manhattan across the river was shaken from the street level to the top of the Singer tower severe damage was done in Brook lyn and Staten Island and to the immigrant detention station on Ellis Island the shock was felt at Amityville L I thirtyfive miles distant and in New Jersey at Long Branch fortyfive miles away The damage is so widely scattered that it is impossible as yet to Y more than roughly estimate it Vftbut in Manhattan alone it is placed at 100000 on 1 llisIslandatfrom 10000 to 25000 and in all three quarters of a million appears to be a fair estimate To Run Boarding House Mrs Annie Coyle of this town left Monday for lit Sterling sisterinlawthe rented the rooms over

Stanford I last week They opened the grave of George B Saufley son of the late Judge lI C Saufley and reached the wooden box which in closed the metalliclined coffin in which lie his remains only to leave before their job was completed Footprints in the soft sodabout the grave and even in the moistened dirt which had fallen back on the sarcophagus top as the work of excavation was carried on indicate that a woman hadu hand in the affair Traces of two horses standing long in the cold night one tied to a fence and the otherprobably hitched to a spring wagon standing in the driveway near the grave showed that t e ghouls came in two rigs A warrant charging Mrs P W Harrison with the crime was sworn out by County Attorney W S Bursh When Sheriff Mc Carty and deputies went to the home of the woman six miles in the country to serve the warrant it was discovered that she had hurridly left Tenants on the place said that she had told them to take care of her things until she came back but she didnot know how soon that would be Her buggy tracks led toward Danville where it is believed she caught a Cincinnati Southern train for Cincinnati or some other city Mrs Harrison is divorced from her husband and is about 45 years olda blonde rather slender and wore a black suit witha small blackplumed hat The warrant for her arrest was issued upon information that she had bought a spade that evening shortly after 6 oclock that she refused to give detectives who thelufternoonwhereabouts the previous night and the further fact that horse shoes which she had hadremoved from her horse by a blacksmith horsettracks in the sod near the grave CumilsI beI lieve that the deed was planned by some woman perhaps demented who may have been a great ad mirer of young Saufley and been anxious to secure his remains for cremation that she might save his ashes So far as known Saufley had but one love affair and it is understood that at the time of his death he was engaged to marry a Lexington young woman who is now Washington D C The idea that professional ghouls sought the body of the young attorney for some medical college is scouted generally for it is believed that had any such plan as that been under way the ghouls would not have waited so long after his death in their effort to secure his body That they were so easily scared away when five minutes more work would have enabled them to get the body is believed by many to prove that they were amateurs at the ghastly game II Rowan Saufley a brother of the deceased Chief of Police Car ter and othed detectives have gone to work on

organization of Shelby county and vice president of the Burley Tobacco Union announced that the fight to secure signers to the 1911 cutout pledge in Shelby county had been abandoned He says there has been a strong change in the sentiment of the growers in the county during the past ten days and thct many of them now appear to favor grow ing a crop this year Solicitors were sent out in every precinct in the county to induce growers to sign pledges agreeing not to raise any tobacco this year hut they met with poor success Many of the large raisers of the weed refused to sign until their neighbors had aflixed their signa tures and the small growers will not join the movement until the large landowners are tied up As a result the solicitors secured very few pledges and it has been de cided to abandon the fight in Shelby county Double Season Is liliicgrass Choice At a meeting of the directors of the Bluegrass Baseball League a double season of 120 games sixty to each section was
