Here's a Snake story For You.

Crofton KY, July III had in the
spring two turkey hens, when they
were set some one killed one of them,
then we concluded that we wanted
more eggs, so we broke up the other
from setting, and put the eggs under
a chicken hen to hatch which she
did successfully, Then when the re-
naming turkey had laid her second
course of eggs, and had been setting
week, what should come along and
disturb her but large chicken snake
that swallowed every egg eleven in
all. Well just three weeks from the
time that snake swallowed those eggs
my wife thought that she heard
little turkey out in the orchard. /

found four in as many different places
apparently about day old, that eve

more making seven in all, one of them

mainder to my Aunt, Mrs. Mary Rob-
inson, to raise on the shares, fearing
they might meet with more bad luck.

to follow Teller; if Teller was for Bry-

suited in a verdict of guilty. His
punishment was fixed at life impris-

which Radford will spend the re-

Tertiary was one of the most horrible
murders that has ever occurred in the
history of Todd county. During the

Here are the exact figures:
McKinsey's majoCity 49,

Many of the passengers on the va
rious railroads and ferry boats de-
clared their political faith, but refused
to state the ticket they would vote.
OF these more than two-thirds were
Republicans A great many signed
as sound money Democrats and de-
clared that they will vote neither
ticket. Fully score wrote "On the
fence" on their tickets. while others,
mere so2ate, expressed The same
opinion when they wrote "WiN wait
to hear arguments from both sides
Am not yet convinced"
One man said that he did not know
the meaning of free silver" and
gold basis" The terms were ex-
planned to him. He will vote for
Bryan, be says.
The general result of this poll is
significant 1t shows that the silver
line of cleavage runs across both par
ties Just at PRESENT. it cuts deeper
into the Democratic than into the Re-
publican organization, but not SO
much so as to make the contest as
one. sided in this stronghold of sound
money as it has been generally as
sumed to be. The great bulk of each
party will stick to its regular candi-
dates. The important question now
is which way the rift will extend
furthest. There is evidently album
cant opportunity for missionary work
on both sides, and the side that does
the better work will win.

A 100000 FIRE.
FlREBUcS BURN SEVERAL FINE BUILD
lNcS IN HENDERSON.
The Barrett House and Pythian Building
Burned-The Parke Theatre De-
stroyed-Judge Yeaman Loses
His Library

Henderson, Ky, July 20.-One of
the most disastrous confagrations
that has visited Henderson in recent
years broke out this morning at 2
o'clock and in an hours time did
damage to the extent Of nearly $500
600. The Barrett house and the Py-
THAN building were totally destroyed
and nothing was saved from either of
the structures.
About 80 o'clock the fire depart
ment was called to Winstead's dis
tiliery on Second street, where a stub
born fire was raging, While the en-
tire department was at work upon
tie distillery, flames were seen issu-
ing from the Parke theater drug
store, nearly three.quarters of mile
from the distillery. The fire depart
ment at once turning its attention te
the fire in Pythian building, but the
flames had gained such Roadway that
the building could not be saved, and
it, with all of its contents, was burned
to the ground. The flames spread
with great rapidity and in few min
utes the Barrett house was ablaze.
The efforts of the fire were uravailing
and the fine hotel was soon in ruins.
A cottage belonging to ]. F. Full
Ter, which is just south of the Pytb-
ian building, was ignited and de-
stroyed by the flames before any of
the contents could be carried out.
The flames spread to the two-story
house belonging to the Barrett estate,
which lies just west of the Barrett
house. The household goods were
saved, but the building, valued at
81 800, was totally destroyed.
The loss on the Pythian building,
with its contents, cannot now be esti-
mated, nor can it for several days.
The building was constructed in 1894
at cost of $4,000 1t was insured
for nearly that amount. 1t was occu-
pied by the Parke theatre, the West
ern Union Telegraph Offices, the
Parke theatre drug store and by a
number of law offices, including that
of Yeaman & Lockett, in which were
valuable Libraries. Not a dollars
worth Of property was saved. The
flames had enveloped the entire struc-
ture before any material assistance
arrived and nothing could be done,
save trying to prevent the spreading
of the flames.
The lawyers and business men who
had their headquarters in the Pythian
building will suffer almost a total
loss, as only few of the tenants car
ried insurance The Parke theatre
drug store is owned by VIM. Dixon.
The stock valued at $1,000 was de-
stroyed. A small insurance was car
ried. The Parke theatre, one of the
finest play-houses in this section Of
the country, is complete wreck.
The Barrett house, with its fixtures
was worth $50, 0O0 The amount of
insurance carried is unknown but it is
thought to be nearly equal to the
loss.
The guests of the hotel had only
time to escape from the building and
their effects were consumed in the
flames.
The fire is generally conceded to
be the work of incendiaries.
