child when the waves swept the house
away. They flOated down with the roar
ing current until the bridge was reached.
An engineer succeeded in saving the wO-
man, but her strength failed her and she
was compelled to r~elihQuish her hold On
her child. With a despairing cry Of
"Mama, CATCH" the child disappeared re-
meath the waves.

ESCAPED THREE TIMES.
Lnnatic Cowley Again Walks Out of Flat
bush Asylum.

New YORK, May 19.-Frank Cowley,
said to be a dangerous ~lunatic, escaped
from the Flatbush Insane Asylum Tues
day afternoon, and at a late hour last
night was still at large. The escape is
said to be due to the negligence of the
asylum authorities, and likely to be the
basis of an official investigation, as it is
the third time Cowley has escaped.
The fugitive is a powerful man, and
labOrs under the delusion that some one
is trying to pour vitriol into his ear and
make medicine of him. How he escaped
is not known, but the authorities believe
he left in one of the food wagons.

COME TO CARSON.

An Eastern scientific journal has
an interesting article ON surgical
treatment for idiocy. The plan is to
split open the skull ahd broaden it
out and give the brain chance. The
operation is designated craniotomy
Now is a good time to bring that OPP
Grafton to Salt Lake City. There
are a great many heads here that
need to have that experiment tried.
1t is said large percentage of the cases
are fatal, but that is of no conse-
quence. Men should be willing to
make sacrifices IN the in terest Of
science and for the improvement of
the race. If any surgeon will open a
hospital of that kind we will do our
utmost to get him patients. We
have some contemporaries handled
by gentlemen who need the opera
ton immensely.
The result would be satisfactory,
either if the brain shonld be improv-
ed or if the patient should die. There
are some politicians here also that
the operation could not hurt and if
the most fatal results followed, and
it might be little tough on the pa
tients, the Territory would be gain

MORNING APPEAL
AN OPPORTUNITY.

Carson never had better chance
than it has in the Fourth of July
plan to bring visitors to US. Nearly
a thousand strangers will be here
for three or four days if the projected
plan is carried out.
In the East and even in Californis
it is a regular custom to advertise a
town by bringing new people to its
threshold. Nothing has ever been
done by people who sit around and
discuss advantages but never induce
a man, woman or child to investigate
them.
Such movements benefit the people
merchant, tradesmen, mechanics, etc.
Considerable money is bound to
change hands.
A project of any magnitude se-
quires all classes of people to perfect
it and the result will be of financial
interest to the workers; and justly so
inasmuch as the effect is far reaching
and productive of good results to the
community.
Other towns in Nevada have sue
cessfully celebrated the Fourth but
none of them ever induced delega-
tions from sister States to join with
them.
Let Carson set the example by uni
ty of action in this very important
matter and the APPEAL will assure
every sincere co>operator satisfac-
ton of feeling in the end.
The best men we have back Us
with capital and influence and it is
an opportunity seldom offered a
town on the eve of its resurrection.
Carson has been in the past con-
trolled by slow gong element whose
only desire was personal gain and
permanent position at the political
nozzle
The people can make the town if
it is only left in their hands and the
right way to get It there is by hang |
ing together. Every wrong can be
handled by them, every question
can be successfully disposed of and
a community is subject to no ills
that the citizen and taxpayer cannot
prescribe for.
To allow opinions of Advancement
scope, one must utter them, other
wise it is like winking at girl in the
dark; you know what you are doing,
but she kon't.
Get to the helm gentlemen and
give Carson rousing celebration on
the day the Declaration of freedom
was ratified.

How we get Them ON our
String.

Ten minutes before / write this,
Judge w. E. Bates, County
Judge of Scott county. and conse-
quently Democrat, stopped me
on the street, asked me to send
him the Blue Grass Blade and stop
in bis office whenever 1 wanted
the money. Last night 1 saw him
in the Court House listening with
profoundest interest to a red hot
Prohibition speech from Prof.
Rucker, in which the Professor
told the people that politics that
had no religion in it was not
worth durn-or words to that
effect.
The Judge said he had been
reading the New York Voice.
You let man read the New
York Voice, and then hear Rucker
talk Prohibition, and sit down
calmly and prayerfully on beau
tiful Sabbath morn and read one
of my religious editorials, and he
is Just as dead sure to catch the
Prohibition fever as you would be
to catch the seveD-year itch by
sleeping with man that had it.
1 think Bro. Bates will get into
the true fold in just about the right
time to take one vote off the
Democratic side and put it on the
Prohibition side in November
1892.

Moore's parodies and caricatures

old and awkward, that they won't
laze their faith in the Bible one
bit, and his articles on Prohibi-

brilliant that they will do preach

What the Blue Grass Blade Has
Done.

After the fair, races, circus, dog
show, and a Kilkenny political
contest, moral cyclone seems to
have struck Lexington, and the
preachers are preaching sermons,
citizens calling through the papers,
for a a,clearing out of the "Augean
stables" that have produced a
stencil in the nostrils of good
people. The City Council have
closed up the pool rooms, the
candidates for the city offices de-
clare a new regime shall be inaug-
prated, and the air is full of re-
form. fle Z. NJ. C. A. Is lend
ing a hand, and prominent divines
are holding meetings for men only.
This moral epidemic seems to be
spreading and the question nat
ursily arises who brought the in
lection into the Athens of the
West? Any fair minded person
will at once say the Blue Grass
Blade welded by that avowed in
idel, who lives like Christian,
Charles c. Moore. If ever the
city of Lexington tones up its
morals to a healthy condition its
good people should present Editor
Chas G. Moore with a gold box
containing document acknowl-
edging him a public benefactor in
fearlessly fighting the battle for
sobriety, morality and pure
living.-Veysailles Clarion.

O. X. On.PrOhibitiOn.

Every once and a while we re-
ceive congratulations that we did
not combine with The Blade. We
have heard that Moore has been
crazy, that he is crazy, and that
he will go crazy. We have known
him from young boyhood, and
lived not SO very far from him for
over twenty years, and the only
thing we ever heard rather hard
on him is, "that he couldn't
preach" Wenever heard him try.
and hence will not deny the allie
cation.
Do you remember a little story,
about Lincoln and Grant?
Grant in the field fighting and
winning. Stay-at- home-generals
jealous of his rising fame, defaming
him to Pres. Lincoln. Grant was
charged with being a confirmed
drunkard who ought to be dis
charged. Pres. Lincoln quietly
listened and asked, "Do you know
where Gen. Grant gets his whisky?
He Immediately added his reason,
for the query, for the benefit of
his auditors, 81 want to buy
some of the same whisky for my
other Generals"
So say we. We need more
men like Moore, be they crazy OIL
sane, in the Prohibition field. We
want and need a whole Asylum
like him turned free right here in
whisky cursed Kentucky. Com
pare Moore's fearless and wither.
ing rebukes of churches for theil
compounding with the liquor
traffic, with the "stili tongues" Of
many preachers, on the most vita
issues before the people.
In view of eternity, and the
solemn warnings of Gods book
and the responsibility upon the
man in the pulpit, for the welfare
of his fellow mems souls, we mus
conclude such preachers are de
luded by the devil, are madmen
