MI. STERLING. KENTUCKY, TUESDAY AUGUsT2a 1898.
Extract From Letter to Hazel
Green Herald.

James Swango, the distinguished
orator from Hazel Green, writing
from Illinois, says:
"The drouth through the corn belt
of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa has been
broken. Corn is about a two-third
crop. ..' ..'. VS..
"The proprietor Of the Union Stock
Yards at Cleveland, o., says he be-
lieves cattle will remain at the pres
ent high prices for at least year.
The scrub cattle of the extreme South
ern States have more than doubled in
value in two years. The quarantine
prevents their shipment north except
In the months January and February.
"Your writer had the pleasure of
an interview with Colonel Richard
Thompson, of Indiana, a few days
ago. He is in his ninetieth year, bsle
and hearty, and Familiarity known as
old Dick. He has seen and shaken
hands with everv President except
Washington and Adams. He was a
member of the 18th Congress, aud
was later Senator with Crittenden
and Benton. He was Secretary of the
Navy under Hays, and since that time
has lived quietly at his home near
Terre Haute. He was intimately &C.
quainted with all the great men of
Clay and Webster's time, and was q
close and personal friend of Lincoln q.
He mas attended every National Re-
publican Convention since that party
was organized, and this is the first
year he has missed the Indiana State
Convention. The old statesman
passed around his box of Havana ci-
CARS, after which he told me many in
teresting things of the early history
of his native State, Virginia, ana
Kentucky, afterward his adopted
home. He said he had often led Dan
lei Webster home after a Washington
banquet, loaded to the guards with
Frances choicest vintage. There are
no doubt many greater men to-day
than old Dick, but there is none
whose public life covers such q won
derful period of usefulness to his
country and party"

A. P. Garnet, just returned home
from Clark county, reports the follow
ing as q true story: A daughter OF
Capt. @. P. Brooks walked in her
sleep 8 miles along the G. & o. rail-
road, passing through one long tun-
mel and over twelve trestles. Chick
ems growing for daylight awakened
her, and when she realized her posi-
ton, found herself standing by a mile
post, eight miles east of Olive Hill.
More trains than usual had passed
over the road that night, and it seems
almost miracle that she was not
killed. After her parents had made
a thorough search for her they tele-
graphed up and down the road. She
was brought home on a hand-car by
trackmen that morning and was al
most worn out but thankful that her
life had been spared. She is only ID

How IT WAS Done.
Beaten Biscuit and an Adopted
Son Decided
The Soldiers Camp in Favor Of
Kentucky.
The Soldiers Camp in Favor Of
The Teatment That Would Land
a Camp Would Pasten an
Enterprise.
ALEssON TO OUR PEOPLE.

The selection of Lexington as one
of the places to camp the volunteers
is the result of the efficacy of Col. Bill
Barnes beaten biscuit. 81
It came about this way: Colonel
Bill, who is the well-known turfmsn
and all-round good fellow, is fond of
fishing and hunting. While on the
lakes of the Northwest engaged in
fishing he met Gen. Russell A. Alger.
The Colonel had carried with him q
bot of old-fashioned beaten biscuit,
fort (which Kentucky has long been
famous. He gave some of them to
Gen. Alger, and the latter was so
pleased with their fine flavor that
Colonel Barnes sent back home for
another box. tay -
Every summer since then Colonel
Barnes has been sending General Al
ger numerous boxes Of beaten biscuit,
made by the Colone's old Kentucky
cook in the old Kentucky style.
| On one of his visits to Kentucky q
few years ago General Algsr saw
much of the Bluegrass region from
Colonel Barnes carriage, and he was
Impressed with its beauty and Its
splendid limestone water. ....
When the reports began to appear
to the effect that ChickAmauga Park
was an unhealthy place. and that the
volunteers would have to be removed
to other points, Colonel Barnes sent
General Alger request that he send
a division to the Bluegrass region of
Kentucky, and that they be csmped
near Lexington. ..'' GU .. 80.
Remembering the good beaten bis
cult and the pretty Bluegrass land,
General Alger was favorably i'm
pressed with the idea of sendlag
troops there. just at that time Col
lector of Internal Revenue Sam j.
Roberts, who is a personal friend OF
President Mckinley. and is from his
home town of Canton, o., sent the
Presldent long telegram, asking him
to send the soldiers there. -a4
When the President and Secretary
of War compared notes they decided
that the land where Colonel Barnes
beaten biscuit wore produced and the
land that had adopted the Canton
man, Sam J. Roberts, was good
enough to send the soldiers to, and
hence the Secretary forthwith ordered
a division of volunteers sent there and
encamped Cincinnati Post.

built you town and called II Palermo.
That was a pretty name, and the Indians
liked 1t, and we said our white brothers

name, like some of our own, and we took
1t as a peace Offering.

When the trees bloom you can't find the
town. When the snow falls it covers IL

Even our beautiful Leavenworth has
faded and looks old. and Atchison is like
the yellow leaves in the forest when they
are touched with the frost.

the situation was funny. Although the

my best man, and it is an actual fact that
