new era. Phoenix like it has risen from the

to scream its triumph. 1t has gradually ac-
cumuiated an exhibit in its new quarters,
and received yesterday a handsome redwood
cabinet from Sacramento to contain the dis
play that county will send in. Kern County

BIGGER THAN GENERAL BOOTH.

Inc Democratic door-keeper of the House
OF Representatives who thought he was
Digger man than General Grant is brought

Times on the resignation of Commissioner
Smith of the Salvation Army. The Times
thinks the resignation of Booths lieutenant

WHY NOT?

The ST. Louis Globe Democrat suggests
that the United States ought to purchase
the Sandwich Islands. We have already
paid large sum in the way of reduction
of duties on sugar. Instead of paying a
bounty of 2 cents per pound, as has been
proposed by the owners of plantations on
the islands, why not take the money to pur-
chase the islands outright? The King
might become United States Senator when
the islands form a State. Ii we have to pay
Il bounty, and our citizens are determined to
invest money in the islands. purchase

The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1890-01-27

. 1t is said Hon. Charles Offutt,
who went from Paris TO Omaha a
few years ago, now makes $4,000
annually at his law practice.
Less than fifteen years ago an
adventurous grower brought to
Cincinnati as an experiment less
than a car load of Florida oranges.
Now a single firm sells in one week
$4,000 worth.
Winchester people are not only
mourning the loss of the $4,000
which they put in that Dallas,
Texas, bank, but are in fear Of an
to pay the liabilities OF
the concern.
Colonel r. W. Nelson, at Coving-
ton, has sued the Swift Iron and
Steel Company for a So, 700 fee.
l.. Jacobs. RusselyiIle clothier,
has sued one John Mason fer So
coo damages for calling him a thief.
1t Is claimed that fourteen AlIi-

The Mature! Gas Supply.

Reports Of the steady and rapid
decrease in the supplies Of gas at
all the great natural gas centers Is
only in exact accordance with the
p-6phecies Of science at ths outset,
and the predictions Of practical
men ever since. Natural gasis not
a product of the brain of man.
Manufactured by the Almighty,
and stored by Him in tie cayer-
nous recesses of the earth, its dis
covery was accidental, and its aP-
preparation to the wants OF man
purely experimental. That it is >
great fuel-the cheapest OF all
fuels conceded, but that the
end would come in absolute, and
earlT exhaustion was apparent 10
common-sense. For millions OF
wears the imperceptible forces d
creation have been slowly, silently
storing away this mysterious fluid
for interminable lapses OF time are
but hours in the laboratory Of ma
ture. Suddenly the prentice hand
| OF man despoiis the work shop O
Providence. The drill and the au
ger tear open the bowels of tbs
earth and rend their secrets from
them. Waste, sinful waste, follows
! The accumulated treasures of thou
sands Of years are squandered in :
day. Recuperation is impossible
The end comes in fguratiye dark
ness, and wreck and ruin of for
tunes. It's a story Of crimina
