Destructive CONFEDERATION In
EexEnEfOn KV

About o'clock, Monday morning, a
Ere broke out in the building, northeast
corner of Main and Upper streets, Lex
iugton, lately occupied by Messrs
Barnes & Wood as a drug store, and was
not eztiDguished until it had consumed
some half a dozen buildings and damaged
several others. The fire was larger than
any that has occurred in Lexington for a
long time, and was the more difficult tc
manage on account of the scarcity oi
water. Lexington has two excellent
steam engines, but the drought has been
80 severe that the cisterns were nearly
empty. The FIRE burned from the corner
Main Street, to the alley next to Mul-
Inns photograph gallery, and back on
Upper street, destroying the composition
and press rooms Of the Obseruer and Re
porter Office, and injuring the rear oi
some adjoining buildings The loss i:
estimated at S75 900, insured for $50, 600

THE election which took place in St.
Louis on Thursday of last week demon
strated the significant fact that the Ger
mans of that city who last fall united
with the Democrats in electing Gratz
Brown Governor over the administration
candidate, have taken final departure
from the Radical party. The Demo
cratic candidate for Presiding Judge of
the County Court was elected over the
Republican nominee by 1900 majority
Every effort vas made by the Radicals
TO recover the support of the liberal Ger
mans of the city, but without avail. The
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
thinks the German vote of Missouri ire
vocably lost to the Republican party, and
considers this certainty in the event of
the re nomination Of Grant.

Have we "a governor Among us.

In 1907 ii on. y on II. Helm was elect
ed Governor and Hon. John W Steven
son Lieu enant Governor of Kentucky.
Governor Helm died very soon after his
inauguration, and Mr.. Stevenson assumed
the gubernatorial functions. The Senate,
in accordance with the constitutional pro
vision, elected a Speaker who performed
the duties usually devolviBg upon the
( Lieutenant Governor Governor Helm
having died before the expiration of two
years after his Inauguration, new elee-
ton became necessary, and Mr.. Steven
son became Governor. There being no
constitutional provision for an election
to fill vacancy in the Office OF I.icuten
ant Governor, no Lieutenant Governor
was elected, and the Speaker Of the Sen
ate continued to exercise the duties of
that Office. Governor Stevenson having
been elected United States Senator be
fore the ex piration of his term as Gov
ernor, the Speaker of the Senate, then
Hon. T. H. Leslie, was called on to ad
minister the government, aud another
Speaker, Mr. Holt, was elected Now,
Mr.. Leslie's time as Senator expired on
the 9th of August, and, of course, any
power he exercised BIZ virtue of having
been elected Speaker OF the Senate ex-
pred with his Senatorial term. Colonel
Holt's term also expired August 6, and
with it his power as Speaker. Governor
Leslie cannot begin to exercise his duties
as Governor under his recent election
until September s. Now, who is Cover
nor ia the meantime and what provision
does the Constitution OF Kentucky make
for the performance Of the executive func
tions during the interreguum.-Loujs

TIE Cleveland Herald makes the
following truthful observation concern
ing county papers, aud the duty of Civ
ing them wholesome support.
The local paper is an absolute neces-
sity to the community where it is pub
lished. All the city papers cannot sup
ply the place Of the home paper That
should be the first love Of every man aud
woman, for with the paper is the locality
identified. The paper gives the county
and town where printed much of their
importance in the world, and gives in
detail the local news, which cannot be
gained by any other source. Every days
issue of the paper is SO much local his
tory, and the rise, growth and develop
meut of the town and county can be
measured and recorded only by the local
newspapers that constantly Is gathering
its items. People do not properly ap
preciate their home newspaper. They
measure the value of paper too much
I by the number of columns it contains
The home paper at any price is the cheap
est paper one can take, for in it is found
the information to be obtained from no
other source.
