to-day, about lightly carloads of
coal being judiciously distributed.
Manufacturing industries we're
given preference and supplied with
coal enough to keep them running.
Orders OF citizens were cut TO about
one-third, and almost everybody
was given temporary relief. The
Indications are that there will be
enough coal here to entirely relieve
the trouble by Monday.
Long lines of wagons were wait
ing at every coal yard in town this
morning, and it was necessary to
detail the police to prevent trouble.
There we're riUtous scenes, but the
situation is generally improved to-
night, and the manufactures which
closed down early in the week will
be running again Monday. Some
OF the smaller dealers advanced
prices, but this. was the exception,
and most of the coal sold was at
the usual price.

ASKS Si,sGs DAMAGES.
L. K N. r. r. Company Made De-
fendant In q Suit.

Mrs. Edna Petrie and her hus.
band FL. E. Petrie, and Herbert
Pollard have jointly sued the L. q
N. railroad company for $1,000
damages, In the petition Mrs.
Petrie alleges that in July last
Herbert Pollard paid the company S
agent here the amount of a ticket
from GAINESVILLE to this place, the
money to be telegraphed to the
agent at Clarksville, to secure a
ticket for her for the first train to
this city, This, she alleges, the
agent failed to do, and she was
compelled, she says, to make the
rip in a Vehicle, and was thereby
greatly delayed in reaching the
bedside of her father, who was re-
ported in critical condition at
Princeton.

CHANGE OF PRISON.
Federal Prisoners In KeataCky
Will Be sent to Tennessee.

Louisville, Feb. 1l.-Judge
Barr made an order this morning
in compliance with a recommends
ton from the Attorney General that
the State prison of Tennessee be
used forthe confinement ofprisoners
sentenced to the penitentiarv from
United States court in Kentucky,
instead of the State prison at Col
umbus, o. This recommendation
was by reason of the crowded con-
dition of the Columbus prison, and
the statement that the cost oftrans-
portation to the Tennessee prison
would be lessened in comparison.

CADlZ UP AGAINST IT.
Hard Time had by the People in
Securing Enough Coal.

On Saturday the situation at
Cadiz became SO desperate that the
most vigorous steps had to be
taken to secure coal. There was
danger that court would have to
suspend and that many people
would be left destitute of fuel and a
telephone message was sent to one
of the mines and a demand made
for a carload of coal at any price.
One was finally bought at Il cents
and the coal men agreed to have it
at Gracey Sunday and wagons were
sent to haul the coal ten miles over
land over a frozen road covered
with deep snow. 1t is to be hoped
that the promised relief was Sc
cured.

COUNTY CHARITY.
Being Dispensed Dy Judge cansler
Many Applicants.

County Judge Canister has been a
greatly operworIled official for the
past week. He is charged with the
charity work Of the Fiscal Court
and has been kept busy every day
writing orders for coal and prov;s,
ions to those applying for charity
On Saturday 78 orders were given
and the week has averaged about
90 day.
The Judge estimates that relief
has been extended 70 about 600
people. All who have applied dur
ing the zero weather have been
assisted by an order for 81 IN coal
or provisions or both. Some people
have of course imposed on the
county, but Judge Causler has not
had the time to investigate and has
helped all who applied.
This course will of course not be
followed when the worst is over.

COLD IN KENTUCKY.

Below zero weather has been re-

This cold snap, it is thought, has
killed the fruit crop, as there is
danger of the trees dying from the 1
effect of the freeze.
George Cornell, a colored coal
cart driver at Lexington, put
paddock in his mouth and lost half
his tongue.
Hillenmyer, the fruit authority at
Lexington, says the peach crop in
kentucky is ruined. Other fruits
are so far safe.
Tom Bridges, colored, while tenn
oorarily insane, wandered from his
ZONE at Princeton and was found
rozen to death.
Reports generally show a great
scarcity of coal, and if the cold
wave continues much suffering will
nsue.

MANSION BURNED.

Role Of a Fire Laddie.
The Governor Assisted in Extin-
gushing the conflagration,
Though His Clothing
Was Frozen.

Frankfort, Feb, 10.-The historic
old executive mansion, which has
been occupied by every governor
of Kentucky, and on which two men
who afterward became governor
worked on the building, was partly
destroyed by FIRE this morning.
The building is heated by afurnace,
but it is necessary in some of the
rooms to use stoves. A detective
fiue from one of these caused a FIRE
just before daylight this morning.
Gov Bradley discovered the blaze
and after giving the alarm
assisted the fremcn in their work.
though his clothing was frozen.
The roof was burned off, and
much of the valuable furniture was
ruined by fire and water.
The old mansion was built in
l796, during the term of the second
governor, but as Gov. Shelby was
again governor in 1913, is a fact
hat every governor of Kentucky
las lived in the mansion.

INTENSE HEAT

Among The Soldiers.
Another Fierce Battle In Which
Caloocan Is Captured By
Brig. Gen. III. G. Otis.

Manila, Feb. 1.-THE taking of
Caloocan by the brilliant assault of
the Kansas and Montana troops
under Brig. Gen. Harrison GRAY
Otis has not only placed thu Ameri-
can forces at Manila in possession
OF the insurgents strongest posi-
ton, but has gwen them control Of
the railroad from Manila to Maiolos,
the insurgent capital. Most of the
rolling stock of the road has been
seized, and the work of supplying
the troops at the front has been
greatly facilitated. The insurgents
are now at Malabon, on the road to
Malolos. The country between
Caloocan and Malabon was shelled
yesterday by the American war
ships, and Malabon will probably
be the next point seized by the
army. THIS would open the way
to the insurgent capital at Malolos. |
Thus the end of weeks hostili-
ties between the Americans and |
Fillpinos finds Aguinaldo's forces
defeated wherever they have made
stands, disheartened by reverses,
driven back ten miles or more from
Manila, their capital threatened
and several thousands of them
killed, wounded or captured, while
many more have scattered to their
homes. The Americans, with a loss
in killed and wounded of less than
800 since the fighting began, are in
a position for still more effective
operations against the natives.

Railroad men report that the move

to the West is quite pronounced. Many
Industries can be carried on more
cheapIy than In the East and
manufacturers are alert to all
such advantages. One industry
which has emigrated from the
East to the West is the manufacture OF
pearl buttons. The largest button fac
tories in the United States are at

Gently been established in Iowa. The
Eastern factories formerly used shells
imported from India and Australia, but
latterly these have given way to the
clam shells found in the Mississippi
river, in the Rock river, Illinois and in
the Cedar river, Ia. From these shells.
which were never before utilized, big
industry has arisen. The shells are
gathered in large quantities by wad-
ers, who receive from TO 3 cents a
mound for them. Some of the speci-
mems are four inches across, and for
all practical purposes they are as good
as the imported article, save IN depth
of coloring The price paid for the
domestic shell is remarkably low as
compared with the cost of the i'm
ported shell, which sells in New York
for 40 or so cents pound. Fifteen
pounds of buttons can be obtained
from 100 pounds of shells, and this
fact has led some of the Eastern manu-
facturers to establish button-blani

A few years ago city whose banks
handled from three to five hundred
thousand dollars a day was looked up
on as metropolitan and was con,
sidered financial and business Gen.
ire of no mean order. But the hand
ling of funds, and all sorts of securities
is vocation that has kept steadily
apace with the growth and develop
ment OF the country and sums that
were at one time looked upon as solely
within the province of very few mon
ey barons of the world are now hand
led with the sangfroid OF commonplace
transactions.
1t may not be generally known. but
It IS fact nevertheless true, that the
daily bank transactions of Wheeling
are Appropriated at nearly one million
dollars per day, or on an average of five
millions week. One man alone last
week had transactions in stocks aggre-
eating 100000 in a single day. While
these figures sound formidable. they
are secured from reliable sources. and
they emphasize the Importance OF
Wheeling as a financial and business
centre.
At present there is much buying and
selling of industrial stocks here and
big transactions are communicated al
most daily The brokers are particu-
larly active these days, and many OF
them are making a good thing of it.
