DORRELL STORE DESTROYED.
Former Christian COuntian Meets
With Loss by Fire.

Mr.. E. d. Moseley, formerly Of
this county, who has been in the
mercantile business at Dorrell,
Todd county, for several years, had
the misfortune to lose his store, to-
'gether with contents, by fire, last
Saturday night. His loss is quite
heavy aud the stock of goods was
only partially insured. Mr.. Moseley
conducted the post office in his store
and this was also destroyed, along
with stamps, mail matter, etc. 1t
is not known how the fire originat-
ed. Mr.. Moseley will probably re-
build at an early date, as he has
built up an extensive business at
that point.

WALL COLLAPSED.
New Pembroke School Building
Gives Way.

A section of the wall of the New
Public school building at Pembroke
gave way yesterday morning and
there was a general collapse. The
wall was up to the second story and
the heavy rains had not only soft
ened the clay under the foundation
but kept the walls from drying.
The damage is confined to one side
and the loss will be about $500.
This will fall on the contractors,
Forbes & Bro, of this city. 1t is
feared that serious delay will
also be caused in finishing the
building, which is wanted in time
for the fall session.

THIRD WEEK.
Finds Commonwealth About
Done In Powers Case.
Coils Still Tightening Around The
Sick Juror
Is Better.

Georgetown, Ky, July 26.--Mc-
Kenzie Todd. who was w. S. Tay-
lor's private secretary, was put on
the stand in the case of Caleb Pow
ers at Georgetown yesterday morn
ing. He was subjected to lengthy
examination, and his testimony
showed that Youtsey and others
were ready for the slaughter of the
Democratic members of the Legis-
lature the day the Van Meter -Ber-
ry contest was decided. Youtsey
was in Powers office with the win
dow raised and rifle across his
knees. He told of the scenes in the
Executive building at the time Goe-
bel was shot. At the afternoon
session numerous other witnesses
we're heard, but the evidence was
of a cumulative character, rather
than sensational. The session was
enlivened by spat between Camp
bell and Brown.
Juror Kempf, who was sick, APP
peared in court much better. The
defense will be ready to begin to-
day.
Caleb Powers mode of defense is
believed to have been outlined by
the testimony of Todd, who made a
strong case against Henry Youtsey
and absolved Powers from any par
ticipation in the alleged plot. The
drift of the alleged movement has
caused his counsel, Col. Crawford,
to make a statement that he be-
lieves efforts are being made to sad
die the crime upon Youtsey, but he
does not believe Powers is a party
to it. He also,says there is no ar
rangement by which Youtsey is to
testify against Powers. The evil
dence yesterday, aside from Todd S
went to show the plan of prevent
ing a search for the assassin, and
the escape of Powers and Davis,
and also brought out more threat
ening statements by Powers.

WHEAT KINGS
Some Big Crops in Christian
County This Year.
Some of Those Who Raised More
Than 5000 Bushels This
Season.

Christian county as a wheat
growing county ranks perhaps at
the head of the list of Kentucky
counties. Certain it is that when
it comes to big crops we have some
that are hard to beat. Below will
be found list of some of the plan
ters who raised this year more than
5000 bushels. The list is by nc
means complete, as it does not in
clude Thos. II. Elliott & Son, Mrs. S.
A. Buckner's estate c. T. Barker s
estate, ]. f. CARROT and others
whose figures have not been OBJ
tanned.
At the head of the list is placed
r. F. Rives g. Sons, a part of their
crop being raised on a portion Of
the lands of the Summers estate.
Read this list:
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1900-07-27

After getting below 5000 bushels
the list is a long one, and there are
doubtless a number of others who
raised more than that much.
The local price is about 70 cents,
though many of the farmers are
holding their crops expecting to
realize a dollar. Most of the big
planters have their own granaries
and the elevators in this city also
do big business, If any other
county in Kentucky can produce Is
planters raising an everage of more
then 10000 bushels we invite a
show down.

PRACTICAL HEAT MOTOR.
ve1op Enough Power to Drive
Toy Machinery.

Here are instructions for making the
simplest form of heat motor that can
be devised. Set over lamp, or stove,
or furnace register, so as to get the
benefit of a strong upward current of
rising hot air, it will develop power
enough to run toy machinery, says the
New York Press. You might make a
motor of this sort that would run a
small electric generator, but it would
have to be larger and stronger than the
one here shown. Stiff cardboard, wire
heavy enough not to bend too easily,
a spool, glue and some pieces of wood
are needed.
On the cardboard, with pair of COM
passes, lay out four circles, seven
inches, 61s inches, 1h inches, and an
inch in diameter, making the centers
of all the circles the same and inclosing
the circles. Cut the cardboard along
the outer circle, so that you will have
a disc seven inches in diameter. Lay
it off into eight equal parts, marked A.
in Fig. /, by drawing four lines across
the disc so that they will bisect one
another at equal angles in the center.
Next, with a sharp knife, cut through
the cardboard on the six inch and 11a-
inch circles, as indicated by solid lines
in Fig. /. Also cut between the circles
on the solid division lines marked G..
You will then have made the blades
of the motor. Bend the blades along
the dotted lines marked b, or at an
angle of about As degrees from the re-
mainder of the cardboard, so that the

known. Knowing from experience that
the mother would have little faith in
the efficacy of soap and water alone, the
doctor wisely added that she should put
a certain amount of salt in the water.
The use of salt in this way being entire
ly new to the mother, she would natur-
ally conclude that this alone was the
curative agent and obey the doctors di-
rections. AS the woman was about to
leave, the doctor, as was her custom,
repeated the directions, saying: Now,
remember to give the baby the bath of
soap and water and salt every day."
The woman looked up and asked:
"Please, lady, ken put little sugar in
it, too?"
''Sugar?" said the astonished doctor.
"Why do you want to put sugar in it?"
"'Cause the baby won't take nothin'
that amt got sugar in"
And then only did the bewildered
physician realize that she had unwit-
tingly said: "Give the baby tho bath"
To the mother the word give" meant
to feed, and the baby's salvation is
probably due to the fact that it had al
ways so strenuously objected to taking
anything that did not have sugar in it.

Cows That Wear spectnc1e..

AS rule human beings are the only
animals that require the assistance of
mechanical appliances to improve their
sight, but there have been a few cases
in our country of horses having been
provided with spectacles to assist their
failing vision. In Russia, however, it
is customary to put spectacles on the
COWS that roam the great steppes where
the snow lies white for six months at
a time. The cattle feed upon the grass
that pokes through or lies under the
light snow, and they have to be sup
piled with smoked glasses to keep from
becoming blinded by the dazzling
whiteness of the plains. 1t is said that
$4,000 old grandmother cows wear spec
tacles half of the year in Russia.

WATCH THE SHOULDERS.
They Should BE Level, Large, Erect,
Insensibly Descending and Del
icntely Poised.

A common form of neglect is the
shoulders, which are allowed in child
hood to grow lopsided, and take on an
ungraceful stoop. Often they are
crowded so by ill-fitting corsets that
they seriously displace the collar bone.
Instead of such malformation they
should be level, large, erect, insen-
sibly descending, and well poised,
making the waist appear round and
small. Massage and oils will do much
to tone up the neglected shoulders,
and the skin can be whitened and
made beautifully firm by this paste,
which is of Spanish origin: Beat the
whites of four eggs in rose water,
adding few grains of alum. Beat un-
til the paste is thick. Spread the
composition on a layer of old linen
and apply to the neck and shoulders
at night. French ladies are so ex-
pressive with their shoulders that they
give them every advantage, as their
''shrug" is part of French conversa-
ton. An authority on the subject
says: A difficult habit to break is that
easy, lazy manner of sagging down
when sitting, which, in addition to
sleeping on high pillows, makes so
many round shoulders and sunken
chests. People should always watch
themselves, and when they discover
the fault straighten up; but it is so
easy to settle down in this way after
years of indulgence in the habit that
many get discouraged and prefer to
|
dies, to be eternally vigilant in ac-
quiring good sitting posture. The
joints you possess were given to you
to bend with, and it is almost crime
to sag down as if you had no lungs
or other vital organs. Hold in the
backbone, throw the chest out, bend
from the hips only, and so contribute
to the perfection of your figure, your
beauty and your health.-St. Louis Re-
public.

JOCKO WAS FORGIVEN.
How n Monkeys Playfuiness Saved
His Masters Life md Made
Him n Great Hero.

A German merchant, who had long
done business in the island of Java,
at length made up his mind to wind
up his business affairs and return to
his old home in Hamburg. 1t took
him whole year TO get ready, but
the time finally came when he was
free. He intended to go home by n
certain steamer and to take with him
n large amount of money and TO ship
a quantity of valuable goods.
The merchant telegraphed to Ba-
tavia to find just what day the steam
er would arrive at his port, and his
telegram was replied to, but when
it was delivered at his Office he was
out, and it was laid on his desk. He
had for years owned a pet monkey,
and though the animal had never de-
stroyed paper before on this occa-
sion he actually ate the telegram up.
He was chained up and promised a
whipping, and the merchant sent off
another telegram. A storm had
broken the wires, however, and it did
not get through for a day or two.
1t was then too late. The steamer

1t is customary to mark household
linen which is made before marriage
with the maiden name of the bride,
but after marriage the initial of the
husbands last name is taken. If the
marking is done with ink write the
last name in full, but if embroidered, use
only the initial. The tablecloths may
be embroidered in the center or in
one corner. l prefer to have all house
hold linen marked in the corners. You
may buy at any of the large dry-goods
stores kid letters in all sizes, from
those -suitubfe- for a handkerchief up
to those large enough for household

When you have gone that far make
the hub and other parts of the little
machine. The hub should be n round
piece of wood an inch in diameter and
half an inch high. Mount it on piece
of wire, as shown in Fig. 2. Next cut
the cardboard disc, inside the one-inch
circle, along the solid lines marked ID,
in Fig. 1, so as TO make an opening for
the hub. You will then have eight lit
tie flaps. Bend them back, so as to
make an aperture for the hub. Fit the
cardboard wheel on to the hub and
glue the flaps firmly to the sides there
of. Next mount spool, in which you
have cut deep groove to make it serve
as band wheel on the wire shaft, and
the motor proper is complete. The
style of stand or mount to be made will
vary according to circumstances. If
you purpose operating motor with
hot air from lamp, the form shown
in Fig. will be satisfactory. 1t con-
sists of crosspiece supported by four
legs, the whole being made like saw
horse. The wire shaft passes through
the crosspiece, the spool band
wheel or driving pulley on the shaft
is above the crosspiece and the motor
wheel is suspended below. The length
of the legs will depend, of course, on
the height of the lamp. They should
be long enough to lift the motor wheel
sufficiently to prevent its charring and
taking fire from the heat. The stand
shown in the drawing is of wire and the
lower end of the shaft is supported by
triangular piece of tin held up by
three short pieces of wire.

HOSPITAL INCIDENT.
Curious Way in which an Ignorant
Foreign Woman Interpreted n
Simple Prescription.

Doctors and nurses who have to deal
with foreigners in hospitals know by
experience how careful they must be in
the use of words when giving directions
about medicine, otherwise the most or
dinary instructions would be apt to be
misunderstood, with probably fatal re-
suits. The head physician of we'll
known charitable organization in this
city recently had a curious experience
of this kind. A woman had brought her
baby for medical attention. Ii was not
really i'll, but very much needed daily
application of soap and water The doc
tor gave the mother some medicine for
the child and then directed her to
wash the baby" To many of the for

arrived, took on passengers and
freight, and was off again in few
hours.
The merchant was sadly disap-
pointed, and the monkey would surely
have had its ears cuffed, if no more,
when startling news arrived. Within
six hours after the steamer had put
to sea she struck rock and went
down with all hands. Not one sin
gle person out of the hundred or more
on board were saved. Had the mer-
chant taken passage on her he would
have been lost with the rest. 1t did
not take him long to figure out that
the monkey had saved his life ard
fortune by eating that telegram up,
and instead of being punished Jocko
was forgiven and made hero. They
even had his pictures in the papers,
and when finally taken to Batavia
crowds called to see him, and he was

and Embroiders with. Her Teeth
and Tongue.

It has often been said that woman's
but it has been left to Fannie w. Tuni-
son, of Sag Harbor, L. l., to show the
world what very useful organ the
glossal organ really is, says Philadel-
phia Times correspondent.
Thirty years ago Miss Tunison was
born, and, to the grief of her parents,
she was found to be suffering from a
form of infantile paralysis which total
ly incapacitated her from using either
her upper or lower eXtremities. Her
parents were only poor farmers, in a
small way of business, and Fannie's
af1liction not only weighed heavily upon
their minds, but upon their pockets as
well.
But Miss Tunison has turned her
shortcomings to good account. De-
prived of the use of her limbs, she gets
along perfectly well with her tongue,
and paints, embroiders and writes n
better hand-or rather mouth-than
most people who are blessed with the
use of their ten digits. She makes more
money, too, than the majority of her
fellow-townsmen, for last year she
earned over $1,000 by executing orders
for pictures given to her by summer
visitors at Sag Harbor.
Miss Tunison's work is of no mean or
der. The pictures that she paints COM
pare favorably with any amateur art
lists, and she paints with considerable
quickncss. So proficient is she at WELD
ing the brush with her tongue that she
excels at copying, and she possesses
several canvases that would bring cred
it TO any copyist. She is especially good
at painting pictures of the Montauk
Point lighthouse, and the little picture,
which takes her less than 90 minutes to
paint, she sells to visitors for the price
of one dollar.
But it is not only as an artist that
Miss Tunison shines. She is expert al
fancy work as well, and, wonderful as
1t may seem, she is perfectly able to
thread her needle and use the scissors

How to Deodorize Petroleum

The following rule for deodorizing
petroleum seems to be a good one: Mix
chloride of lime with petroleum III the
proportion of three ounces for each
gallon of the liquid to be purified. 1t
should then be introduced into casls,
here some muriatic acid should be
added and the mixture well agitated,
so as to bring the whole liquid into in
innate contact with the chlorine gas.
Finally, the petroleum should be passed
into another vessel containing slaled
lime, which will absorb the free chlor-
inc and leave the oil sufficiently deodor-
lied and prrified.-Ladies' Home Jour

And there'll be no end of fun.
