What 4 Baby Can Do.

1t can wear out apair of kid shoes
in less than twenty-fonr hours.
1t can simultaneously occupy both
sides of the largest bed made.
II can make itself look like fiend
Just when its mother wants it to
show off.
1t can go from the furthest end OF
the nursery to the top OF the stairs
quicker than its mother can step
into the next room and back again.
THESE are some of the things a
baby can do. But there are other
things as we'll. A baby can make
the commonest house the brightest
spot on earth. 1t can tighten the
burdens of o loving mothers lite by
adding to them. 1t can ilatten its
dirty little face against the window
pane in such way that the tired
father can see it as a picture before
he rounds the corner.

more for their relief than was ever

Destructive forest fires were raging
over the country north OF Nortons-

property was destroyed. Large bod
les OF excellent timber have been rum
ed by the flames, great amount OF
fencing has been reduced to ashee,
and in some neighborhoods buildings
have been badly scorched The loss
in some neighdorhoods has been enor-
nous, and will be hard TO replace,

Timely Word Of Caution.

We have just passed through the
most prolonged drouth ever expert
enced in tho history OF this county
and section. The ground itself would
almost burn. Upon the heels of the
dry season there has followed several
weeks of windy weather. As result
our city is dry as finder. Let every
citizen then constitute himself a com
mittee OF one to see that every pre-
caution against fire be taken at his
home and place of business. Another
twelve months will find us letter pre-
pared to fight fire, as in that time we
shall have completed our water works.

enough by the dissffection that is
likely 10 arise from dozen dissp
poin,ments, TO win in a district that
is Democratic by about 1000 votes.
In view OF this condition OF AFFAIR.", it
is important that the Governor should

ing vacancy. Each OF the four coun-
ties OF the district has one or more
svowed candidates. Judge Jno, w.

vile, dropped into the city yesterday,
and is stopping at the Willard.
Judge Brown is candidate for the
nomination for Lieutenant Governor
on the Democratic ticket, and is now
making occasional trips through the
State in the interest of his campaign.
"In my wanderings through the
State" said he last night, 81 have
talked with large number of Demo
Gratis high up in the party, and it
seems to be the common desire for an
early convention, although a few
think next August early enough.
Those who are in favor of the early
convention are Of the opinion that the
candidates should be in the field and
have the campaign begin as soon as
possible, on account of the present
condition of politics. 1t is the gen
eral impression that the is ticket fully
made up.--that is, the list of candi-
dates for nominations. i believe my
only opponent is r. T. Tyler, Of

seren,r.two Column. To-day.

The KENTUcKIAN has been forced
TO add four extra pages to-day in or
der to do justice to both advertisers
and readers. We undertook to issue
an eight page paper Fridsy-our
force being shortened by sickness
and our advertisers came very near
taking possession fths whole sheet.
Forty -one columns OF ads. and only
seven OF reading matter was hardly a
fair division with the subscribers.
To day we have tried to make enough
room for all, but space is almost as
much in demand as ever. The paper
We present this morning is not a
double-edition worked up for the oc
casion, but is our regular issue en-
larged to meet the ordinary demands
upon our advertising space. The
KESTUcKIAN is not much given to
horn blowing, but it cannot refrain
from saying in this connection that it
has the best advertising patronage of
any country paper in Kentucky sim.
ply because it ia unequaled as an ad-
yertising medium.

D,I. Crabtree at Crofton,


D. Crabtree at Crofton,
The store house OF Mr.. ID. l. Crab
tree at Crotton was entered by bur
glars last Friday night. They got in
through rear window. The look OF
the safe was knocked of and hole
drilled in the door. Powder was
then inserted and an explosion oc
cured, but II failed TO do it's work
we'll and the safe remained closed.
No doubt the burglars feared that
the report had awakened some
one near by, as they left without
making another attempt and left
their tools lying near the safe. The
cash drawer was opened and 81 80 in
small change was taken, The thieves
were evidently not professionals, as
the safe was left unlocked when the
store was closed. 1t contained about
5000 aud il it had been readily
opened the amateurs would have
made very nice little haul. Blood

Wages Co be Restored.

The receivers OF the c., o. & s. w.
railroad, it is understood, will recon
mend to the U. S. court, which meets
the first week in December, that the
old scale OF wages on that line be re-
stored at once. This will be done in
accordance with an agreement be-
tween managers of the road and it's
employees about year ago, which
was the effect that the old scale
should be restored when the earnings
should equal those of '92. They are
now about equal aud it is believed
that when last months earnings are
added that they will exceed those OF
that year A similar agreement was
entered into between the L, & N. and
its employees and it is believed that
at an early date the old scale will be
restored in their case also.
