When the opera house opens for the
winter season several changes to the in
terror will be noticed. The unsightly
holes in the walls have been closed and a
coating of white paint has been applied
to the ceiling and walls. The drop cur

painted and the house has been thoroughly
renovated. The walls of the entrance
have also been whitened. One improve

that braces hav been put on the ,chande-

raised, the timid persons in the audience
who have been made nervous by the
swinging chandelier will have no more
fears that the huge piece will break off
and fall.

to Denver, Col, for interment.
We understand the moving of the
old depot will take place soon,
Foreman Bentley, of the building
crew, says he has orders to do the

The boys all say that the two best
moves made by the railroad com
pany in late years has been the put
ting on of the hill engine at Empire
and the special coal train between
Nortonville and Madisonville.

DOWN IN THE MINES.

Ellsworth Evans is fast recovering
from the injuries received in the

and the boy is happy over his escape
from serious injury.
Twenty-six cars daily at the Ar

The write-up by Wood of the trou-
BILE between u. M. Wreckers and the
deputy sheriff posse, was Of course
written to order. Wood is certainly
fitted for q job OF this kind. He is
man who draws heavily on his
imagination, cares little for facts,
which in this case would prove
a detriment TO him. We take
it for granted, when he goes to chron-
icle one Of his fairy tales, that he
calls 20 his aid one of his most skilled
followers, and after inviting him TO
seat, lays before him the subject to
be treated upon, and the manner in
which it should be handled and then
directs his confederate to begin
grinding, with the solemn warning,
to pay no attention to facts or fig
ures, but keep in view the main OBJ
ject that the U. M. Wreckers must
pe shown up to be always law
abiding and peaceful citizens. Such
an epistle appeared in the last issue
OF the u. M. w. Journal in regard 10
the trouble above referred to.

seventy-five dollars of the hard
earned money sent to them sby the
miners of other states, was squan-
dered. Such is the class of .men-gen-
orally sent out to do mission work
for the organization.
One who claims to know whereof
he speaks, says agitator Wood is
soon to be dethroned. The reason
being that the snake stories he
sends out from Hopkins County,
week after week, are inquiring the
order of which he is leader. Such
tales as he has been guilty of telling
about the almost complete shut
down of tho mines in this county,
and then the reverse found to be
true. has so incensed some of his
brethren that they have called for
his scalp. II the report is true, it
will be sad news for the mine oper-
ators, who have found in Wood a
staunch friend, while he protepds to
be the opposite. Statements sent
out that will not stand the test when
the square is applied to them, aid
the party whom they are. meant to
injuie. So it can be seen that Wood
is building up the cause of the Oper-
ators and will be pleased to have
him stay and continue the good
work.
The Graphic, edited by Prof. Glenn
had an able write up of the situation
in this county as it now exists. The
writer asks the question in pointed
manner. If the people of the county
outside of the mines want to have
the mines closed down and tho two
thousand miners thrown ont of
employment with a daily loss to
them of about three thousand dol
lars. Also do they want to pay
twice as much for their coal as they
now pay. This he says would GER
tainly be the case il the U. M.
Workers should gain control, be-
cause the operators have said all

mine before they would work organ

ksntucky's 100000 Young Men in
Rural Districts

We have received program of the
forthcoming State Convention OF the
Young Mems Christian Associations
Of Kentucky, at Louisville, February
81, %, IS and q, which is being looked
forward to with great interest by
young men fiom all sections OF the
State. Elaborate preparations are
being made by the Louisville Asso-
citation for the entertainment of the
delegates, end an attendance OF fully
800 is expected. One of the most
interesting subjects to be discussed
at the Convention will be the County
Work for the 25O,O00 Young men in
Kentucky, who live in smaller towns
and on the farm. While this work
has been accomplished successfully
here and there in different States, it
has never before been taken up as a
State movement. Since Kentucky
has done so, Illinois, Minnesota and
New York have followed.
The County Work means that In
each county, after convention of its
young men, an Executive Committee
is elected which raises the necessary
means within the county, and keeps
in The field a County Secretary, who
gives his entire time to Young Mems
Christian Association work.
During the past eighteen months.
such work has been inaugurated in
Hopkins, Muhlenberg and Shelby
counties, and the work will be Wig
orously pushed until each one of the
the ll9 counties of Kentucky is or
ganized. Experience has shown that
in any ordinary county, with the
form of organization mentioned, it is
possible to keep in existence from
ten to twenty Associat ans or Asso-
