r. F. ROGERS Residence Burned.

About 1890 o'clock on yesterday
the large residence of I. f. Rogers
on West High street was discover

fire company to save it was una
vailing and the structure is practic-
ally ruin. The house cost be-
tween 81, 900 and $4,000 and only
insured for $4,000. Some furni-
ture and household goods were
burned and much was badly DANA
ged by breakage and otherwise. 1t
was insured for only $1,000. The
fire started either from defective
fue or spark on the roof. The
many friends of the family will re-
cret to hear of their misfortune.

FACTS AND OBSERVATION.
On A Trip to Yale, KY, and
Soldier.

On Wednesday morning our repre-
sentative went to Salt Lick expecting
10 get train at about IL O'Clock for
Yale, but now only two trains dali
ly go to this new metropolis of the
Licking. He had to wait until 4:l5.
But time was no drag as there are
agreeable friends at Salt Lick, and
then there was the tile factory and tho
stave factory where he asked a few
questions and kept his eyes open ex-
cept " hen dust and shavings got in
to them. Things hum around that
stave mill.
C.P. Pierce will soon have finish
ed his combined carpenter shop, grist
mil! and corn crushor.
The Licking River Railroad is a
narrow guage, starting from Salt Lick
and extending to Yale, IL miles, and
then for about miles penetrates the
timber lands up the Licking. The
route up and down the mountain be-
yond Salt Lick, affords some tine
views. The grade is about p degrees
and the incline on far side is about
IL miles. Much of the way is through
unimproved lands, forestry or neg
lected farm land.
There are few well kept or rich
farms.
The timber trade slaves, ties, and
lumber affords chief employment.
Our train reached Yale at about
5 80, and as the mill closes down at
5 o'clock, supper had then progressed.
We went at once to the hotel of the
town, kept by j. E. Green. Among
other tempting estables was dish of
fine Licking river bass, which we
much enjoyed.
After supper we strolled around
town, met some of the residents, en-
ioyed the charming moon and star
light and then lay down to rest, shar-
ing the bed occupied by DR.. Woodland
the dentist, of Morehead, who was
spending few days professionally.
He shared again on Thursday even
ing.
The proprietor of the hotel has kept
same for three years, having previ-
ously been at Farmers for two years.
Since Dec. 25, he has kept stock OF
groceries. He married Miss Junia
Classify, whose father now lives at
Yale. They have three sons, 8 to IL
years old.
His brother Geo. Green lives in Mt.
Sterling.

Of policies for which he stands spon-
sor. or whether he is totally blind to
the duties of his Office and wholly mis-
conceives the, objects for which he was
thrust into the Presidential chair 1t is
certain that his administration has be-
come the synonym Of Generalization
that runs the gamut of all sorts of
thieveries, from the lowest Specializing
pickpocket to the grand and magnifi.
cent bank robber and postoffice high
wayman.
To wreck a bank and destroy the
homes aud hopes Of thousands of poor
saving souls, laying by their scrimped
pennies for the rainy day of sickness
and old age, means a gracious pardon.
To cast upon the wretched, weedy
sea of Wall street millions upon mill
ions of the peoples money is merely a
financial easing of the money market,
and to donate few hundred millions
of treasure to specializing banks and
bondholders, while imposing a perpet-
ual yoke of constantly increasing debt
upon the necks Of the struggling, toll
| ing masses, is n masterpiece of finan-
cial skill, monetary blessing.
Perhaps our ideas of morality are all
wrong. 1t may not be either sin or n
crime to steal, and to cheat, Cypress
and rob the people may be a virtue. AS
the matter stands, the stealing of n few
hundred thousands by the surprising
Neeley may be an act Of sanctity to
punish which would make him mar
tyr, through misapplication of our
much despised organic laws, and a
cruel violation of our theories of extra
dition,-National Democrat.

Now 1t,s Hanna,s prother.

Republican members of the House
and Senate who are unhappy enough
for their conscience's sake to sustain
intimate and confidential relations with
the White House, are like political luci-
fuga-feeing the light. There are so
many questions shot at them they fear
to answer. They have voted Tor an ap-
preparation of $325,O0O for the installa-
ton of Gathmann guns. 1t is positive1
~ set forth that Senator Mark Hanna's
brother is largely interested in this
gun. By naval experts the Gathmann
gun is said to be anything but
success. But ever since Mark Hanna
has been on the payroll of the Senate
bills have been pushed calling for the
Gathmann gun MS armament for coast
defense vessels. This weapon has been
condemned by the navy as "perilous
and unsafe"-and yet the administra-
ton boss is forcing bills through Con-
gress appropriating money for the pur-
chasing of his brothers guns and COM
polling the navy to put in ''perilous
and unsafe" ornaments for defense of
American cities against foes in time of
war. Last year Hanna made Congress
give him, for his brothers benefit, $75,-
600 for the Gathmann gun; this year it
has grown to 1926, 900! Next year--if
