WHY NOT?

If the business people can turn
aside from political disquietude
for little while. If they can
meet and talk over business mat
tiers. If they can put their shout
ders to the wheel all at the same
time without stopping to disc ISIS
what was right or what was wrong
politically we might be able to Sc
cure another railroad and water
works. II believe Mt. Sterling is
the best business town in Kentucky
but for your freight rates and
your lack of water" Mt. Sterling
must arouse herself and these ne
cessities must be supplied if we
would go forward with rush. A
few months ago a factory was
started here to make the Natural
Leaf tobacco and even with freight
rates against them the demand is
greater than the supply. The pro-
prietors on Saturday said: "We
must stop reaching out for new
customers for we can not supply the
trade we now have" If such bus
mess can be created with unfavor-
able rates what could be done if
we were on equal footing with other
cities. Our coal merchants, lum-
Der dealers and planning mills;
hogshead factory, merchants and
everybody could do more business
had we competitive freight rates,
and then with water supply fac
tories would be established and
Mt. Sterling would become one of
the greatest distributing points in
the South. Why not get down to
business.

STOP ARGUING.

The voters have done all that
in their power, and as law-abiding
citizens they can do nothing more
than accept results. Bull-dozing
methods go for naught in these
days, and he who resorts to them
but makes a monkey of himself.
So stop your discussing; there's
more pay from the sweat Of the
brow.

JUDGE MORTON.

We have this day been looking
over the Congressional material of
the Seventh District, and we find
no man who would more fittingly
'ill the place made vacant by the
death of Hon. Evan Settle, than
would Judge Jerry Morton, of Lex

THE SITUATION

BY the decision of Judge Jones
at Glasgow, Taylor, Republican,
has plurality of 1,459.
Knox county vote and johnson
vote will be contested on account
Of thin or illigal ballots, and mo
ton will be made to throw out the
entire vote Of Louisville, besides
votes in other precincts will be
contested.
Republicans are not over jubil-
ant, and should the contests above
mentioned go in favor Of Goebel,
he will yet have votes to spare.

DEBOE TALKS.

In an interview at Frankfort on
Thursday Senator Deboe is report,
ed as saying: Taylor has been
elected and he will be seated. The
people will stand no usurpation
from the State Election Board or
anybody else. I don't think the
board will have the audaCity to is
sue Goebel a certificate of election,
but if it does the people will not
permit him to serve, and Taylor
will be seated" In this case he
makes himself a judge Of our Elec-
ton Board and presumes to die
tate what shall be done. No
doubt the proper officials can and
will attend to this business in a
way that is just and satisfactory,
without his interference.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR EARS.
Much Depends Upon Keeping TheH II
Healthful Condition


Hoalthful Condition
Men and women have much to do
to keep straight, A hundred nerves
and muscles are at work all through
the waking hours, giving warning or
receiving orders that the body, with
its many joints and natural instabili-
ty. shall preserve its equilibrium,
shall not stagger or double up in a
hopeless heap. These nerves and
muscles are highly organized sig
nal service, the chief offices of which
are in the semi-circular canals buried
in the STONY" homework that pro-
tects the inner ear. Were it not for
these canals a human being would
find it difficult, often impossible, to
maintain proper balance either while
walking or standing still.
So long as these canals are in
healthy working order their reports
are trustworthy; but when any I'M
due force has shocked them, or any
agency, such as sickness, has inter
fered with their workings, their mes
ssges are incoherent, and the brain,
like the engineer of battle ship in
action when the men above are blind
ed and bewildered, has nothing to do
but lettings go,-Berlin (Md.) Her

TISSUE BALLOTS.

The system of voting in Ken
lucky is secret, and the law pro-
vides that it shall be so. So if
= there were ballots cast that were
so thin that the votes were not Sc
cret, such ballots were not legal.
and if the election is according to
the provisions of the statutes
they should be rejected. The
fault is not attributed to the poll
tical parties, but to the Clerk who
gave the order and received the
Job. In this order he should have
specified that the ballot must be
made from 25x38 7o-pound stock,
made especially for the purpose,
and should have received them on
mo other stock. 1t is charged,
however, that the Knox county
ballot was made on paper from
London, and that the printer
obeyed Instructions. If this be
proven it would carry with it
fraudulent intent, and is double
cause for rejecting the ballot. The
Commissioners and court will rem
Ter justice.

POISON In Lemonade.

Two hundred people were poison
ed at Oregon, ILL.,, by lemonade
which they drank at a picnic. AS
yet no fatalities have been reported.
The picnic was the annual celebra-
ton of the Modern Woodmen of
America, and was attended by 1000
people.
The sickness developed during the
afternoon and towards the close of
the day and the doctors could not
begin to respond to the calls for as
sistance.
In the Office of one physician, thir-
ty persons were stretched upon the
floor at one time. Many were taken
i'll while driving to their homes in
the country and lay helpless along
the roadside.
Doctors were summoned from
neighboring Villages to care for
them. The poisoning is supposed to
have been the result OF critic acid in
the lemonade, sold at one of the
stands. The most violent cases are
small children.

She Swallowed Needles

Eliza Day, colored, aged so years,
a patient at the Columbus State Hos
pital who was received from Marion
o., 10 years ago, died recently from
peritonitis. and an autopsy revealed
in her stomach the handles of five
silver spoons and 30 canbric needles
and In the bowels nearly 80 more
needles. About year ago the wo-
man told an attendant she had swal-
lowed several spoons, but an exami-
nation failed to disclose the presence
of any foreign object in her stomach
and the story was regarded as simply
one of the vagaries of her dEsordered
mind. The remarkable feature of
the case is that the woman never ap-
peared to suffer any pain or have any
trouble with her stomach.
The bowls of the spoon are suppos-
ed to have been corroded by the
acids of the stomach.

Let the Democrats be Patient

The Washington Times has a long
editorial on the outlook for Demo-
cracy. 1t advises democrats to re-
main patient and by watching the
course of events profit by them. 1t
says:
Democrats should not now de-
termine what issues shall be empha-
sized and what subordinated in 1900.
Wisdom today may be madness to-
morrow. Let the democrats every
where be wiser than serpents and
more harmless even than doves. Let
them wait and express their souls in
patience. Political history is max
ing rapidly nowadays. Men are weigh
ing each hour in the balance and
their value accurately appraised.
Heroes rise and fall in the popular
mind-come and go on the great
stage stretched out before US. The
republican party has in its three years
of power done all it could contrive
TO do 20 drag down the name of the
republic and make It a ruin and a
shame to every beholder. They have
broken the record for political in
fanny since 1895. Now let them go
on with their congenial work. Give
them all the rope they want. Let
them multiply their inf1delities one
hundred fold. Let them monopolize
that field. Let them continue to
worship at the shrines OF Hannaism
Lea them revel in fraud, force, dis
honor and incompetency. Let no
democrats emulate these vices of the
republican party!
Let US get the whole political sit
uation squarely before the American
people next year. Let Us keep con-
spiciously in view the crowning
glories of republican rule, and the
ripe fruits of the Mckinley admins
tration-H Otisism and AL
gerism. The party leaders may drive
out certain individuals. They can
not get rid of the disease. The
whole republican organization is in
oculated. There has been no quar-
antine. The epidemic of incompe-
tency and dishonor is as wide as the
continent.
Democrats must stamp this poll
tical leprosy out OF the body polite
of the nation. To do 80 they must
keep it in sight as Que of the issues
of 1900. Let nothing obscure it!
Hold it up before the eyes of the
people. Let every hamlet ring with
! it. Shout il from the house-tops.

white towards and said they were a

if the Tolberts, the republican party
leaders in this section of the south
were still stirring up the negroes,
they ought to be dealt with.

IngersolI and immortality,

The comments of the press on the
death of Robert G, Ingersoll furnish
an interesting evidence of the change
of attitude in regard to religious
opinions. II Ingersoll had died
few years ago, his memory would
have been bitterly sssailed, and he
would have been held up in many
quarters as an example of depravity
and objectionable irreverence. Now,
however, his death is recorded either
without comment or with praise for
his qualities as a man. You seldom
find him labled even as an atheist.
AS matter of fact, and as every one
knows who followed his utterances,
Ingersoll was not an atheist. He
had no belief, in the orthodox sense
of the word, but he did not deny the
possibility of the existence of state
beyond the grave. He was a perfect
illustration of the meaning of that
much misunderstood term agnostic.
The respect with which his memory
is treated by good christians gives
an example of Christian charity
which cannot fail to impress those
people who followed Ingersoll's
teachings. 1t should be noticed here
that the growth of christian charity
in this country in recent years has
been accompanied by decided fall
ing of in the attacks on religion. In
fact, there are almost no professed
atheists among US now. We may be
said to be divided iuto groups, con-
sisting of those who believe and
those who do not believe, and the
attitude of each group toward the
other is one of patient toleration.
But at last the sand in the hour-glass
of time must run down, of the chris
tian and the heather alike, and it is
left to a Higher Power TO decide
whether a man was good or bad

with the Goulds are several well

other business enterprises. The COM
pany will transact a general business
without confining its activities to any
one field. But me business will, it is
believed, be developed on such a
scale as to attract support from other
cities along the most conservative
lines. Although the company has
been in progress of formation for
months, the negotiations have been
so eager to obtain stock that the de-
mand for the 10000 shares of the par
value of 500 each long ago exceeded
