NEW FIRM.
Burnett & QuarIes Succeed the
Shoe Firm Of Petree & Co.

The well known firm of Petree &
CO., has been succeeded by Burnett
81 Quarles, who will continue bust.
ness at the same place. The gen.
tlemen composing the new firm are
Mr., John p. Burnett, who was a
member of the old firm, and Mr..
Frank M. Quarles, who has pur-
chased a half interest in the stock
and good will of the firm of Petree
81 Co.
Mr.. Quarles has had large ex-
perience in the shoe business, hav-
ing served an apprenticeship with
A. G. Bush, and is one among the
most popular citizens of the county.
His acquaintance is by no means
local, as he is we'll and favorably
known over all of the adjoining
counties of Christian, and his asso-
citation with the new firm will add
greatly to its strength and popu-
larity.
Mr.. Burnett is also an exceeding
ly popular gentleman, and while
his duties as salesman for a Boston
shoe house will keep him on the
road about half of the time, the
other half will be devoted to his
business interests here.
Mr.. John f. Danforth, who had
been with the old firm of Petree g.
Co. during all of their successful
business career, will be found with
the new firm and his extensive ac-
quaintance and universal popu-
larity will be the means of securing
much business for this substantial
concern.
The new firms already large and
well assorted stock of shoes and
furnishings is being increased daily
by heavy invoices of these goods
from the eastern manufacturers and
it can be safely said that Burnett
e. Quarles will control full share
of public favors.

AN ELABORATE PRODUCTION
"FAUST"
BY Mr., Porter j. White And an
Excellent Company.

The beginning of the fifth act
shows us Faust and Mephisto toll
fully climbing the steep rocks and
yawning chasms of the peak of the
Broken. in the Harry Mountains,
where, according to the German le-
gend, the Witches and Warlocks
meet on Walpurgis night (the thir-
teenth of April to hold their yearly
festivities. The night grows dark
err; the moon is in its last quar-
ter and gives but little light.
They climb higher and higher the
trees and rocks and distant cliffs
take on wondrously fantastic
shapes in the dim light of the dying
moon; only the hooting of owls and
the far away cry of the lonely night
hawk break the solemn stiffness;
strange shapes crawl to and fro,
and weird snake-like forms seem to
writhe and try to clasp the wander
ers in their horrible embrace. AT
midnight mighty tempest rises
and the witches gather from far
and near to their unholy festival
During the truly horrifying scene
that follows, Mephisto shows Faust
the never-failing punishment o.
Evil" and the curtain falls with
terror-stricken Faust writing IL
the Evil Ones grasp. A perfec
storm of electric fire descends, amiC
which the imps and witches ar,
seen revelling in their fiendish mer
riment. At Hollands Opera Hous

with the Democracy of the state
united on national issues Kentucky
can be relied upon for a majority of

Democrats made gains is Massa-

that in New York and New Jersey

left the Republicans $4,000 votes in
the minority. In Nebraska the re-

the names of corporations and individ-
uals owning canals or bitches. This 10
n Of the essential steps for securing
desired information regarding the ex-
tent and value Of the canals and ditch
es used for irrigation, and their sourc-
es of water supply.
In the preliminary schedule a re-
quest is made for the names of the
principal canals or bitches in their Or
der down stream, the bitches to the
ranged IN the first page of the list,
and those heading to the left on the
last page. Request is also made for
the name and postoflce address Of
some person who can give detailed in
formation concerning each ditch.
The principal schedule now in course
Of preparation will be mailed to the
addresses thus obtained calling for fur
Their data, which will be supplemented
by detailed statistics gathered by the
census enumerators.
1t should be noted by all interested
in the subject that these various in
quiries of the census Office in no way
conflict with, or duplicate the work,
with reference to irrigation which Is
being conducted by any other depart
ment of state. The most nearly re-
lated inquiry is that of the geological
survey, which, like that Of the census,
is under the more immediate direction
of Mr.. F. H. Newell, the special agent
for irrigation in the eleventh census.
and photographer of the geological
survey. The fact that Mr.. Newell has
supervision Of this work in the twelfth
census guarantees it's efficiency and it's
value to the arid and semi-humid re-
gions.
1t will be readily apparent that the
volume and value of these statistics
will depend very largely upon the at
~tention and interest shown therein by
those engaged in irrigation and it is
earnestly hoped hat all to whom the
schedules are addressed will appreciate
the Importance of the request and
make prompt and careful reply. In
this way only will it be possible to
make the information concerning irri-
CATION full and complete.
In order to obtain a full understand
ing and an intelligent appreciation Of
the possible development Of the arid
and semi-humid regions Of the west, a
general knowledge Of the progress
actually made is of vital Importance.
An accurate census Of irrigation will
impart such general knowledge, and
will be of great benefit to all those con
cerned in redeeming arid lands. The
future development Of this vast por-
ton OF u domain will be greatly ad-
vanced by q comprehensive compila-
ton of facts relating to its irrigation,
such as contemplated by the twelfth
census.
