A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty Five Years Constant Us
Without a Failure.

Il
Without a Failure.
The first indication of Group is hoarse-
ness, and in a child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as sure sign of
the approach of an attack. Following
this hoarseness is peculiar rough cough.
If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
as soon as the child becomes ho sse, or
even after the croupy cough appears, 1T
will prevent the attack. lit is used in
many thousands of homes in this broad
land and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have vet to learn of a
single instance in which it has not
proved effectual. No other preparation
can show such a record-twenty-ive
years constant use without a failure.

Successful Entertainment.

The opera of Robert Maecaire was
rendered at the Opera House, on
Wednesday night last, for the ben
eft of the organ fund of the Catholic
Church.
To say that 1t was magnificent
success in every way is but to put 1t
mildly. The acting and singing
would have done credit to profess
SIGNALS let alone to amateurs.
1t is a well known fact that Frank
fort has as fine local musical talent,
both vocal and instrumental, as any
city in this section, and the very
cream OF that talent was drafted for
entertainment.
From the first to the last number
on the program, every one was rem
dered in style that showed careful
preparation and painstaking train
ing.
Where every one did so well we
will not attempt to particularize.
The house was packed from pit TO
dome, with delighted audience.
The only criticism that we have
heard was that of the waiting be-
tween scenes, which seemed to be
unavoidable, thereby causing the
play to be drawn out to an unusual
length.
The financial part was something
entirely new here and was a graft

Mondays Early Fire.

A fire broke cut in the plant Of the
Home Brewing Co., Of this city, on
Monday morning, between two and
three o'clock. For some unknown
reason the fire had been burning
some twenty minutes before an
alarm was turned in.
In very short time after the
alarm came the department was on
hand and did good work, but the
fire had gained such Roadway that
the building was virtually Quilted.
Luckily the ice plant was saved and
the loss will not be 50 severe on this
account.
The loss will amount to So, 200,
which was covered by insurance.

Two Fine Tobacco Plantations Con.
sOIidated.

BY recent Houston (Texas) paper
we learn that the Esperanto and the
Gray Hawk tobacco plantations have
been consolidated. These planta-
tions are located in Moore county,
Texas, in the bet of country where
the celebrated Cuban or Havana to-
bacco is raised.
The latter plantation is owned by
Messrs. Hardie and A. Mckee Rob-
inson, former Frankfort boys. The
Esperanza is owned Mr.. w. F.
Spiller. The consolidation by these
gentlemen will make big planta-
ton, and will add to the already
achieved success of our young friends.
Here's hoping they'll ''strike it rich"
right along.

Death Of E. A. Grant, M. D., IL. D.

AT his home in Louisville, on Fri
day of last week, DIR. Emory Alfred
Grant, died after long years Of i'll
health, aged II years.
DIR. Grant lived in this city for
many years, and, during that time
married Miss Ellen Clark, daughter
of the late Joseph Clark, Esq, a SOL
dier of the war of 1912.
DIR. Grant, during his residence
here, conducted first class classical
school for boys and young men, and
had a large list of pupils, quite "a
number of whom came from Louis
vile.
Upon urgent invitation he accepted
the Principals place in the Girls
High School, in Louisville, in 1859,
and removed to that city to live.
Having natural turn for the
practice of surgery, and having grad
uated in that science when a young
man, he resigned his position, and
gave the rest of his life to the treat
ment of the deformed, especially
those having twisted or distorted
bones. He was very successful and
built up allarRe clientage from all
parts of: the country. Some five
years ago his health failed and he
was compelled to retire from the
active duties of his profession.
He was devoted Christian and
was member of the Second Presby-
terian Church of Louisville, from
which the funeral was preached on
Saturday afternoon at o'clock. The
remains were brought to this city
and inferred in the family lot in our
cemetery on Sunday.
Besides his devoted wife he leaves
three children: DIR. Thos. p, Alfred
Nj. and Miss Bette Grant and large
circle of relatives and friends to
mourn his death.
Our sincere sympathy is extended
to the bereft.

You Can't
Dodge Them

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops? Did not succeed
very we'll, did you? It's just
as useless to try to escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do It. They are about us
on every hand and we are con-
stantly taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease ? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold In a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be well supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood Is poor and the
body Is thin. II your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you
should not delay another day.

SAMOAN CLAIMS.
Treaty Providing For Arbftratio
 Sfnned


 Signed.
 Washington. Nov S-Having disposed of the question of the adjustment of claims arising out of the bombardment of Mataafan rebels in Samoa, the three gov ernments signatory to the Berlin treaty are now devoting their attention to the proposition to partition the islands.
 The claims treaty was signed at the state department by Secretary Hay on the part of the United States, Mir. Regi- nald Tower, British charge d'affaires, on the part of Great Britain, and Herr Mumm von Schwarxenstein on the part of Germany.
 King Oscar of Sweden is selected as ar hitrator.
 The important article of the treaty provides that the arbitrator shall consid- CT the facts leading up to the lombard ment, and if he should determine that the bombardment was unjustifable then he shall award damages against the nations Great Britain and the United States whose men-of-war shelled the native viii lages. The treaty is so worded that it Is open to the interpretation that the award shall be made. if the bombardment were justified by existing conditions and the facts leading up thereto. against the powers whose representatives brought about the conditions which necessitated the use of force. and in this event Ger many will have to pay the score. The au- thorities are satisfied that the arbitrator win find that the hombardment was jus tiiea. in which event Germany will set tie the claims.

GOEBEC DEFEATED.
General Taylor Wins Kentucky by
 Small Majority.

Small Majority.
 Louisville. Nov S.-By the combined efforts of the Republicans and anti-Goe- belites Attorney General W. s. Taylor (Rep.) has been elected governor of Ken lucky by a majority variously estimated from 1000 to 15.OO0 over Goebel nem.). Returns received up to midnight also in dicate the election of the entire Repub- lican ticket, while the complexion of the legislature is in doubt.
 The weather throughout the state was perfect, and more than an average vote was boiled, the total falling but little short of the vote boiled in the last presi- dential election.
 Chairman Long of the Republican cam paign committee said at midnight that Taylor's plurality would not be less than 15,0O0. This estimate, he said, was based upon estimates received from the majority of the counties in the state.
 Governor Bradley estimates Taylor's plurality at from I6,OOO to 1S.OO0.
 If Republican gains are maintained, Taylor's majority in the city will reach 4,0O0.
 Senator Blackburn and others at Goe- bel headquarters at midnight admitted the returns from many Democratic coun- ties are disappointing, but claim this Is partially offset by private dispatches from the Eleventh district, indicating a falling off in the Republican vote. Black burn claimed at midnight that Goebel would win by 5000.
 The Brown vote (anti-G Goebel Demo cratic) is small. the great majority of the Democrats opposing Goebel having voted outright for Taylor.

The city of Tren- ton gives 2,543 for the ticket. the Demo- crats carrying but one of the 13 wards. Last year Governor Voorhees, got but 1900 plurality in the county.

From the eleventh volume of that great work, which was published in 1T91 and the succeeding years, we learn, on the authority of the minister of Callander, Perthshire, that the boys of the township assembled In a body upon the moors on May day, and pro ceeded to dig n circular trench. leaving the soil in the center undisturbed, so as to form low table of green turf. suf- ficient in size to accommodate the whole party.
 They lighted fire and prepared Il custard of milk and eggs. and a large oatmeal cake. which they baked upon a stone placed in the embers, When they had eaten the custard, they divided the cake into as many equal portions as there were persons In the assembly and daubed one of those pieces with char coal until 1t was perfectly black. They then placed all the pieces of cake to- gether In a bonnet. and each in turn drew one blindfolded. the holder of the bonnet being entitled to the last piece.

 London, Nov. S.-The following has been received by The Daily Mail from it's war correspondent at Mafeking. un- der date of Oct. 26. via dispatch rider to Kuruman and by runners to Orange river:
 ''The Boers have bombarded the town for several days past with five pound CTS, one 10 pounder. two krupp F pounders and one krupp 94 pounder,
 ''Three hundred shells were fired i'm the course of 36 hours. We had four men only wounded. The damage to the town was inconsiderable.
 ''The bombardment was so futile it was becoming joke, when on Oct. 2S the object of it was seen. Having in- dulged in the preliminary artillery fire. the Boers closed in upon all sides and made a determined attempt to rush the town. This attempt at storming brought out every single man of ours who could carry a weapon. It was indeed a mag nifcent sight to see how the little gar rison turned out to meet the numerical ly overwhelming foe.
 .'There was fearful rife fire, and the. Maxims sent a hurricane of shot right in the teeth of the Boers, who wsvered. broke and stampeded in a mad panic.
 "They were driven over mines, which exploded. scattering them in all direc. tions. They must undoubtedly have suf- fered great loss. They were completely driven of"

Kipling was present, when he broke in: You have saved my reputation by telling that. You are the first man, woman or child who could back me up in it.
 "The explanation of the peculiarity is that the Derbys were an English fami- ly who settled in Virginia in the colo nial days. One of the sons, the tradl- tional black sheep of the family, was left a share in his fathers will on con dition that he changed his name. He changed his written name to En- roughly, but continued to call himself Derby.
 "On hearing this explanation MT. Kipling said, I think will change my name to Smith, You can spell 1t Smith if you like was the reply, but it will always be pronounced Kipling, a remark which caused him to look as unfeignediy pleased as boy"
