COOLER TOMORROW.
Yesterdays Maximum, DC, May b,
Reached Before the Day Closes.

1t is. said at the weather bureau that the
hot weather may be broken tomorrow
afternoon by a thunder storm. with lower
temperature thereafter At 1 o'clock this
afternoon the official record of the tenn
pcrature was 81 degrees, and 1t was
thought that the maximum of yesterday,
96. would be reached before the day closed.
The cause of the hot wave is the pas
sage of Glow across the great lakes,
which brings southerly winds to this sec
ton and an inflow of warm air from the
south.
When the Glow" passes down the ST.
Lawrence river it is probable that westerly
winds will set in. bringing cooler weather.

BRICK AND
ASPHALT.
The City of 0wensbOrO Passes
An Ordinance For Brick And
Asphalt Streets.
The Kentucky Product diets a Show
ing.

The Owenlboro Messenger says The
council took another start in the matter
Of improved streets at the meeting last
night, and an ordinance for the paving
OF Main with vitrif ID brick and Freder-
lea with asphalt were given their first
passage but not without very spirited
discussion by attorneys OF asphalt con-
Germs. The new ordinance providing for
the paving of Frederick street with as
phalt was read by the clerk. II Kentuc.
ky rock asphalt is used no binder is to
used, but the concrete bed upon which
the asphalt surface is to be- placed must
be OF such thickness as to make the
completed street OF the same thickness
OF a street made with asphalts with
which binders are used. Capt, Z lis was
present as the attorney for the Barber
Asphalt company and he objected to the
ordinance because it required the rock
asphalt people TO make a street only s
inches thick and other asphats % inches
1t was tTus that the ordinance said tue
rock asphal must be % inches, but the
specifications only provided for a street
eight inches thick. 1t shut out compe-
tiLion and invited injunction suits lie
said that all his company asked was fair
play. Col j. ID. Powers was present and
as the representative OF the rock asphalt
people he said that under the ordinance
the rock asphalt psopls would have TO
make foundation inches and wear
ing surface two inches, but Mr., Ellis
continued to contend that tbs rock as
phalt people could not be required to
build street more than eight inches
thick, and Mr.. Wathen, city attorney,
changed the specifications to read a
foundation Z } inches thick and wear
ing surface two inches thick, which
would make a street OF same thickness, as
required of other asphalts. Mr.. Ellis OBJ
jected to the ordinance as modified be-
cause the binder to be used by the Bar
Der people was made partly Of asphalt,
and if the council would allow his COM
pany to make a foundation "A inches
concrete and two inches of asphalt wear
ing surface he had no more to say, as it
put all companies on equal footing.
Councilman Owen said the Barber peo-
pie had toll various members OF the
cJuGcil more than once that a success
ful street could not be made of Trinidad
asphalt without binder. The mayor
called for the vote on the ordinance, and
the vote was nine for the ordinance to
one, Mr.. Cosby against it.
The ordinance providing for the paw

read and received its first passage by a
unanimous vote.

Special, Bowling Green, June 10, 1879.
-DEAR sIE-May we have Just little
space in the NRws2 We do not want 10
tell the Breckenridge people what we
are doing but, we want 20 give them a
few items that viii be Of general inter-
est, at least we hope 70 tell them about
some things that occur in the STAR of"
county OF Warren, that they do not
hear OF oftener than once each week
We might speak Of the crops but M we
have been in the country 80 little, we
fear our meager knowledge would not be
interesting TO the farmers, but we know
all are interested in the coming elections
Everyone wants to know who will be
our.next Governor. We meet men ev-
cry day who say they know, but we can
not decide whether 1t will be GOebel,
Stone or Hardin.
When Goebel spoke here a few
months ago there we're plenty Of men
ready to swear by him. A few weeks af-
terward Hardin came along and, by his
matchless oratorical power, took the city
and county by storm. We had been read
ing about Stone and Hardin roasting"
each other, but did not fully understand
the meaning of a "roast" until Mr.. Stone
came along few days ago and told US
about how it was done. He gave Mr.
Hardin rubbing down" and then told
us why he wanted to be Governor. His
last named reason was as follows:-When
was severely wounded during the civil
war, and all was dark and gloomy before
me, was nursed back to life and health
by beautiful Kentucky girl After the
war was over and peace had spread her
protecting wings over the country,
went back to this girl and asked her to
share life's joys and sorTOws with me.
She consented and now, want to reach
up to the topmost bough Of the tree Of
fame, and pluck the crown of the Gov
ernorship and lay it, as tribute, at the
feet Of her who has done 30 much for
me-
Now while we love Mr.. Stone and Mr..
Goebel, we would be glad to see P. Wat
Hardin's name in the future list of Ken
tuCk's ex-GovernOTs.
Now, just word about the schools
The city Of Bowling Green is paving
homage to the pupils OF the different
schools just now. Commencement ex.
ercses are in full blast. This morning
the commencement sermon was preached
by Rev. DR.. Woods. OF Nashville. 1t
was an excellent sermon, full Of good ad-
vice aud encouragement to young people.
On Wednesday morning next, Bishop
Dudley is expected tc lecture to the
students Of Potter college.
Not in the least behind Potter college

here few paragraphs from the pages Of
this book about this much misrepre-

paragraph: "Thomas Jefferson never
removed an adversary because his own
partisans required it, or retained one be
cause his enemies threatened to assail
him, but pursued his own course regard
less OF the taunts from one party or the
importantly of the other" Jefferson
did not escape abuse, but he lived to see
justice done him and the course OF his
administration approved. Isn't it prof.

Cost of Bad Roads.

A plain, practical farmer, Julius
Deutschke, has discovered that the pres
ent system OF dirt roads in Meade and
Breckenridge counties are robbing the
farmers. Not long ago he had occasion
to drive through Meade county. He
drove from Wolf Creek to Preston, dis
lance OF twenty.four miles, and it took
him three days to make the trip. 1t
cost him just exactly six dollars per day
to travel three days over twenty-four
miles Of Meade county roads.
Leaving Pre- ston he went TO Beaver
Hill, in Breckenridge county. Here he
found the roads had been worked and he
made the trip in twenty-five minutes.
He drove as far in one day in Brecken-
ridge county as he did in three days in
Meade county.
This is one OF the most potent argu-
ments in favor Of good roads. 1t shows
that bad roads eat up the profits OF the
farmer in excessive transportation
charges.

disposition even among the friends OF
liberty to underyalue this Great Repub-
lie and to grudge her extraordinary sue

lar delight in fortelling her dismember-
ment and her downfall. Those days
were perilous and perplexing as now.
The old ship was less prepared for des-
perate extremities, though, than now,
except perhaps in the men that steered.
They had fewer assertions OF leaders.
But to-day we have patriotic, wise states

but alas, 80 divided. I'll never believe
the American people are a calculating
people who fight not for glory but plum
der. will not acknowledge that they
are a set of braggadociOs and that our
public men must become generally de-
based, politically to succeed. 1t is no
more true now than in 1882, when
Jefferson was chosen to represent Vir-
ginia in Congress, Nor in 1916. Now,
just as then. all Statesmen, all true
Americans want the equality of political
rights, the foundation of pure iepubli-
canism. Acquisitions then didn't pre-
vent and will not now, or ever will.

The FortnightIy Club.

IRvINGToN. KY, June 19.-The Fort
nightly Club has taken on new impu Sc
OF zeal judging from the enthusiastic
meetings held unoer it's auspices. On
June 18Th the Aid met with Mrs. Ken
Wathen, and, Notwithstanding the fact
that some OF the members were unrs-
sponsive to the roll call, the meeting was
a decided success in every particular.
The "Mt. Merino' homestead is an
ideal place Of rendezvous for either social
or literary gatherings. Mrs. Wathen is a
charming hostess, and in this instance
she was particularly fortunate in having
the assistance as entertainers of Mrs.
E. +. Wathen and Mrs. Eliza Jolly, two
most estimable ladies, whose presence
would grace any occasion.
Answer to roll call was "French Celeb
rifles" and Victor Hugo, Daudet, George
Sand, and others were discussed at some
length. The routine of regular club
work was gone through, various French
topics discussed, and the afternoon
passed all too swiftly.
In view OF the fact that matters of i'm
portance demanded immediate action,
the President deemed it expedient to
meet again at an early date, and the
invitation from Mrs. Richard Wrather
was accepted for June 18th.
And, on that eventful day, while the
sOlons and voters of the surrounding
country were at the county seat vOcifer-
ating for their favoiite candidate, the
ladies Of the Club spent most delight.
full afternoon with Mrs. Wrather.
Answer to roll call was "French Cur.
rent Events" and each member came
equipped with bright and pregnant
items Of interest from "Sunnie France. "
Magazine articles were taken up and
discussed, the French Academy and the
French system OF education coming in
for full share Of notice.
The Misses Munford extended an in

on June 2Sth, and the following pro-
gram was arranged for the occasion:

Capt. Rowland Now FaVOrs a Stock
Law.

The absence Of stock law compelling
the owners of COWS to keep them up at
night is causing great deal of trouble.
One night last week a sneak thief oper-
ated on lower Wall street, He left the
gates to the front yards he entered open,
and as result every COW in the city
pastured in the lawns that night, and
the gardens we're all torn up.
The gate to Capt. Rowland's yard was
left open last Friday night, and the COWS
entered and destroyed all the Captains
grapes. 1t is rumored that the Captain
voted against the stock law in the past,
but he is now an ardent advocate Of such
a m easure.
