PHENOMENAL YIELDS.
DIR. Dempster Makes a Practical Test
of Fertilizer.

II is estimated that from $4,000 to
$4,000 worth Of fertilizer was sold at
Gl ndean this year. The farmers in
that section, however. regard it as u
good investment. DIR. Dempster, who is
a thorough believer in scientific farming,
made test of planting corn with fertiliz-
err On two and one-half acres Of ground
he first distributed quantity of stable
manure and turned it under. He then
spread six hundred pounds Of bone meal
broadcast over the tract. After having
fertilized the land in this manner, he
used three hundred pounds Of corn grow
or in the corn bills, and, as a result, he
will make seventy.6ve bushels of corn to
the acre on this tract. Other fields in
the neighborhood where fertilizer was
used will average sixty.six bushels Of
corn TO the acre.
DR.. Dempster paid 800 per acre for
the ground that he used for expert
mental purposes

A MODERN
LEAR.
A Hancock County Man Who is
4 the Pet of Misfortune.
Family Goes Astray, and He Takes
Up His Abode In Hollow Tree.

Misfortune marks some men as her
own, and truly was this the case Of
Luther Webster.
Fifteen years ago he was prosperous
farmer in the back part of Hancock
county. His estate was we'll managed,
and he did not want for the good things
of life. He had plenty of the worlds
goods, and the sun of contentment
seemed to shine over his vine and fig tree.
He had good wife and an interesting
family of prepossessing daughters.
In an evil day his wife died. His chill
dren soon got beyond the father't con-
troll, and went astray. The departure of
his daughters from the paths of rectitude
broke Luther Webster's heart. He tried
all means of winning back to the paths
Of virtue, but they laughed at him and
treated him with scorn.
The old man lost heart He had no
farther interest in life, and he virtually
gave his property away to his nelghbors.
When all was gone he moved to the
banks OF the Ohio river, and built him a
little cabin above the mouth of Indian
creek in Hancock county. Here in soli-
tude he brooded over his misfortunes
and made no friends
A rise in the river washed his cabin
away, and then the old man sought ref
uge in hollow sycamore tree. Here he
lived for years with owls and bats for
company. At last he became SO feeble
that the pity of his neighbors was
aroused, and it was due to their effor 8
that the old man was moved to the HIM
cock county almshouse, where he will
spend the balance OF his days.

JLOvERPORT, KENTUCKY WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26. 1898.
BOYCOTT
INSTITUTED.
Local Druggists are After the
Patent Medicine Men.
Refuse to Handle Goods on Which Prices
Have Been Raised

Cloverport druggists are hot under
the collar. They have instituted a
boycott upon the wares of patent medi.
cine men who have raised the price up
on their remedies in order to avoid the
war tax.
The person who now goes to a drug
store for a certain brand OF sarsaparills
or certain chill tonic or kidney medi-
cine is told by the druggists 1--WE do not
handle those goods"
There has been a disposition on the
part OF patent medicine manufacturers
to evade the payment of the stamp tax.
While under the law they are compelled
to affix the stamp to all packages OF their
remedies they are compelling the retail
druggists to bear the burden by raising
the wholesale price of their medicines
so that the increased cost will not only
pay the extra expense Of taxation, but
leave q margin besides.
Where such is the case the local deal
ers refuse to handle their preparations
and they have started a movement to
induce other druggists in the county to
follow their lead.
One dealer said to the News re-
porter Zone OF the effects of this
condition of things will be to in
crease the sales OF medicines whose
formulas are not kept secret and, there
fore, are not subject to taxation for the
reason that they are not classed as
proprietary remedies. Now, have in
stock two brands OF Hoods Sarsapar;la.
One is manufactured in Lowell, Mass,
and its formula is a secret. The other
can be manufactured here and its formu-
la is known to all druggists. The in
ducements for me to sell the latter
remedy are 30 great that will push its
sales as much as car"
Several travelling representatives Of
patent medicine concerns have been
here during the past week and all have
complained of the fact that the local
dealers have given them the "irozen NIT
and the marble heart"

WHO IS RUEP
A Mysterious CIOverpOrt Boy Pays High
for Steak.

Walter Rue, young man from Glow
export, was presented in the Police Court
says Thursday's Louisville Post, on the
charge of disordery conduct. He or
dered two steaks at the American Restur-
ant last night and refused to pay for
them. The proprietors had him arrest
ed.
Rue had to pay 50 for his bond and an
attorneys fee of S.. When the case
was called Mr.. Allen Kinney, his lawyer,
paid for the steaks, and the case was dis
missed, and Rue was given five hours to
leave the city.
An inquiry has developed the fact that
there is no one living in Cloverport
named Rue. 1t is possible that the
name is an assumed one. In the mean
time the young mans identity is great
mystery as that of the person who
struck Billy Patterson.

Why II WAS HELD UP
inside Of Eugene McAdams' Appointment
wiHbs Appointed.

What has become of Eugene Mead
AIMS says the louisville Times He has
been appointed to place in the secret
service, but 80 lar as known has not been
assigned to duty, Mr.. McAdams expect
ed TO come to fthe, louisville station, but
in doing 50 at this time he would have
spoiled SOM OF the political plans of
Col. Walter Rvahs. For that reason he
has not been assigned to duty.
At the last report from him he was
still in Washington receiving instruc-
tons as to his duties. And Mr.. Mead
ans will likely remain in Washington
until after the election. Meantime Mr..
d. w. Holmes and Capt. II. Brown
ing will be fed upon the delusive hopes
that each will be appointed secret SER
vice agent here. The election over, Mr..
McAdams will be assigned to this dis
triet as assistant to Capt. Carter. He
will serve sixty days on probation and
learn in that time ali Capt. Carter can
teach him about the field work His
probationary term expired, Mr.. Mead
ans will be appointed secret service
agent for Kentucky and Tennessee, and
Capt. Carter, who has the Indiana work,
which is somewhat of burden, will be
relieved OF all responsibility for the con-
duct OF the Louisville office.

WANT A g
RAILROAD.
Hartford People Eager to Get
the henderson
@ Route,
Have Applied to the Commercial Club
for Aid.

The question OF the extension OF the
Irvington branch railroad from Fords-
vile to Hartford has been discussed con-
sidersbiy Of late, says the Hartford
Herald. There is no doubt but that
this would be a great thing for Hartford
and tho foute along the line. 1t would
give us an outlet and competition with
the outside world, and would open up a
passage for the resources, 80 abundant
and valuable,in the county between here
and Fordsville. 1t would be of inestima-
BILE value to every foot Of land over
which it passed.
1t would be really very little trouble
to construct line of railroad from Fords-
vile to Hartford, compared with other
routes. The land is smooth and would
require very little grading. A bridge
would have 70 be built across Rough
river at Hines Mill and that would boom
this place into good sized town right at
once. Hines Mill is on direct line
between here and Fordsville and is
about one-third of the way from tine lat
ter place. Only one cut of any conse-
quence would have to be made and that
would be, just this side of Sulphur
Springs ~" "a ~
There is only one way to get this road
and that is not altogether by talking
about it. 1t will take willingness on the
part Of the, people-over whose land it
wilfpass in the matter 'ofa right of way,
and IL will take concerted action on the
part of the leaders of the enterprise
The owners of the Texas road-whoever
they are-must be consulted and the
matter laid before them. They should
be given every. assurance Of encourage
ment and aid. Something of value can
notbe had these days for nothing, and
an enterprise which will afford the peo-
pie vast amount OF good must be push
cd by the people themselves. An extern
sion Of the ibranch railroad from FUrds-
vile to Hartford would be of great value
to the people Of tins whole section
especially Hartford-and we hope the
people will take the interest in the mat
Ter which their interest demands.

THE HIT ESTATE.
Texas Lawyers Think kentucky Heirs Can
Recover II.

A Huntsville dispatch says The
Hit estate, consisting Of fine section OF
land within sight OF the city of Austin,
Texas, to which Mr.. G. w. Hit, OF this
city is an heir, is being looked into by
attorneys and the prospect OF the claim
reyerting to the heirs is very flatteriDg
The heirs held meeting here recently
and decided on concerted action. They
are VIM. p. Hit, Chas and Jas. Hit,
Meade county, and G. W. Hit. The
land was tie property Of Peter Hit, who
immigrated to Texas SO years ago, from
this county. He died few years ago in
Texas, and lawyers from the Lone Star
state say there is no doubt about recov-
ering the estate.
