ROYALTY RECEIVED
Kentucky Crowd Enjoying Itself in
St. Louis Today.
The Location of Kentuoky's Exhibit
Has Been Decided on-What
Mr.. Dallam Said.
CEREMONIES TO END THURSDAY

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 30-Repre-
sentative Kentuckisns, including W.
o. p. Breckenridge, former Mayor
Charles p. Weaver, Of Louisville; I.
l.. jefferson, W. II. Newman, A. Y.
Ford, o. II. Hungerford and A. s.
Bowman, from Lexington, are here
to attend the formal ceremonies Incl
dent to alloting the sites for the vari-
Gus state buildings at the world fair.
The exercises began today at 10
O'Clock, and will continue until Thurs
day evening. On behalf Of Kentucky,
Colonel Breckenridge delivered the ad-
dress Of welcome.
The delegation was met at the Plan
ters' hotel by President d. r. Fran
els, secretary Walter b. Stevens, Di-
rector Of Works Isaac r. Taylor and
other exposition officials.
Clarence Dallam, chairman OF the
commission, said; Kentucky will
raise more money for the worlds fair
than any state outside of Pennsylva-
mia, New York or Illinois.
"while the state legislature has
made no appropriation, the people of
the Louisiana Purchase states may
rest assured that this will not deter
the commercial interests of our state
from making q great display. 1t can
be stated that we will collect by pop
ular subscription at least 800, 900.
More than three-fourths Of that sum
is pledged now"
The Kentucky delegation was shown
around the worlds fair grounds by Di-
rector of Works Taylor.
The site for the Kentucky building
is situated at the east of Forest park
and directly opposite Iowa, wiscon-
sin and New York. II is considered
the choicest of all the state sites.
After an inspection of the grounds the
delegates were the guests of Mr.. Tsy-
lor at an informal luncheon served in
the administration building.

DOWN IN HOPKINS" A
KENTUCKY PLAY.


The public must not confound
Down in Hopkins with other plays
attempted along the same lines. 1t is
an appeal TO the sober intelligence
rather than to the passions. The Ian
guage used in the play is that of the
men who were actually engaged in
that memorable struggle up about Cen
trail City II may be urged that Jim
Wood is an amateur, but how can =
mans character be enacted better by
some other than himself? In the play
Wood does not carry line OF makeup
ON his face: in short, he is, in fact,
president of District 30, United Mine
Workers Of America. True the cam
paign for Unionism in Hopkins county
has not been markedly successful and
this is where the playwright has used
his license; what they could do but
partially in two years bitter struggle,
Mr.. Powers has accomplished with a
few strokes Of his pen.
Mr.. II. j. Foppe, of this city, comes
with the Down in Hopkins" compa-
ny to The Kentucky Friday night,
October 3, and plays the part. of Squire
Pieplant, the man with the adjustable
religion. As created by him, you
will recognize prominent farmer who
is we'll known to Paduoah people.
Come out and see If you can guess
who posed as model for Mr.. Foppe's
creation. Seats ON sale Thursday.

ELECTION VOID.
Local Option Law Knocked out in
Marshall County,
Judge Husbands Sustsins q Motion to
Dismiss an Indictment Found.

The people of Marshall county were
surprised yesterday at a decision by
Circuit Judge Husbands, of the city,
in the case against Thomas Fieldson,
for violating the local option law,
which decision virtually utilities the
law in every district except that OF
Birmingham.
The evidence in the case was heard,
showing that the law had been violat.
cd, and the attorneys for the defense,
Oliver and Reed, of the city, moved
for peremptory instructions for the de-
PENDANT on the grounds that the local
option law under which their client
was indicted was void by reason OF
the order calling for the election was
made in the county court at the same
time that the petition for the election
was filed.
Judge Husbands sustained the mo
ton and dismissed the case.
As every election in the county wal
held in the same way, except that il
