AFTER BOREING,
And the Man from the Mountains
is To be Given a Race.

A dispatch from Middles boro
KY, says: Politicians believe
that an independent man or Dem
ocrat has good chance for elec.
tion in the coming congressional
race in this district. The dissatis-
faction with Boreing makes success
possible. The customary Republi-
can majority is about $4,000, but
this has been narrowed down sew
eral times to 5000. Yerke's ma
jority in the last gubernatorial race
was over 10000. The nearest ap-
proach to winning ever made by a
Democrat was in 1896, when George
Stone ran against Colonel Colson.
Colson won by only $500. John
ID. White, gave Boreing race for
his life two years ago, the present
Congressman winning by 5000.
The old Tenth, out of which the
Eleventh was formed used to send
Democrats to Congress. Major
Mat Adams, of Winchester, an old
Union soldier with Democratic
views, won, and it is possible that
a man like him might win now.
1t is likely that an independent
man will be put up. Some want
John d. White, a Republican inde-
pendent, but others think that
new man should be selected.

Insurance Agents Discuss the
Schedule Of New Rates Will!
Advance Most Rates.

A meeting of special agents held
in Louisville was called on Monday
Aug ii to discuss the application
in the territory of the Kentucky
and Tennessee Board of Fire Un-
derwriters, of the new schedule
now being put into effect as rapid
ly as possible throughout the Unit
ed States. II will be remem bered
by every man who has to buy in
surance that fiat advance of 25
per cent, was ordered, at New
York meeting held last January,
on all risks in town not rated with
in the last twelve months under
some approved schedule. The ex-
cuse for this was that the losses
had been so enormous and such a
large number of companies had
failed that the remaining compan-
les found it necessary to. take the
step for protection.
The entire United States has
been divided into six classes, not
based on population, wealth or
health, but on fire fighting vacili
ties. BY this the basis rate for
each class is made and the indi-
vidual risks are rated with 1T as a
guide. All defects are charged,
for the more there are the higher
the rate.

Justice Gray-SuCcessor
Appointed.

President Roosevelt has appoint
ed the Hon. Oliver Wendell Holmes
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of Massachusetts,, to be an Associ-
ate Justice of the United States,
vice Mr.. Justice Gray, resigned.
The resignation of Justice Gray
was due to i'll health. Several
months ago he suffered a stroke OF
apoplexy, which some time later
was folloUed by another. He has
not appeared on the bench since he
was stricken the first time. His
advanced age-seventy-four years
told against his recovery. With
the exception of Mr.. Justice Har-
Ian, he has served on the bench OF
the United States Supreme Court
longer than any Of his present col
leagues. He was appointed an AS
sociate Justice by President Arthur
on December 10, 1881.
Judge Holmes is one of the most
distinguished lawyers and jurists
of Massachusetts. He is son and
namesake of the late DR.. Holmes,
the poe. and essayist.

"winsome winona. i"

Scotland, visited Winona last yea
and enjoyed it's attractions, h,
gave to it name that will long be
remembered and used by those
who take their vacations at this
lovely spot. 1t was "Winsomt
Winona. 1t is fitting name
for nowhere in all the country ID
there is a place where such a name
can better be used Nowhere on
the globe is the scene brighter, the
sky bluer, the grass greener, the
moonlight clearer, or the air more
giving. 1t is the place for the
student, the professional man, the
business man, the solitary man,
the scientist, the social man, the
poet, and the old and the young,
! II is the paradise of children.
Winona is famed for its marvel
Gus scenic splendor, its magnifi
cent sunsets, the abundance of
natural mineral waters. "Winona,
the beautiful" it suggests spring
ing fountains, running brooks,
beautiful lakes and wooded land
scapes. No more charming place
could have been selected for such
a great educational and religious
gathering as is now held every
summer.
1t is worth journey of many
miles to see the improvement is
made since last year. Very wisely
the management have decided not
to permit art to destroy nature,
and allover the grounds are little
parks just as God made them, but
at other places can be found flow
ers so arranged to delight the eyes
of all. The walks have been great
ly improved, and already several
miles of the old board walks have
have given away to permanent
ones of cement. Over one hundred
new cottages have been erected
since last year. Many of the old
er buildings have been enlarged
and improved, and yet the increase
in the number of visitors some
days taxes the entire capacity of
the grounds. The attendance dur
ing the last month has averaged
about one thousand more than last
year. The summer school has had
nearly four times as many pupils
as in any previous year. The pro-
gramme has been of the very best,
from three to five good lectures on
concerts daily. The largest crowd
came to hear Miss Ellen M. Stone
tell the story of her captivity. She
had to deliver her address twice,
and had probably five thousand in
the audience each time; many
more would have been glad to hear
but could not gain admittance to
the auditorium. There are great
many Kentuckians here and they
seem to come from ali parts vi the
State. There never was such a
place for meeting old friends, and
greeting new ones. One charm of
the place is the liberties of dress,
which add so much to comfort and
pleasure and are claimed by all.
Hats are discarded by the ladies,
and the walking skirt and shirt
waist are in evidence everywhere.
The business man or minister need
not wear coat or vest, but are
privileged even to discard the stiff
collar. While the lectures of the
last few weeks have been greatly
enjoyed, all are looking forward to
the Bible Conference which began
Sunday, August 18th, when the
real feast will be spread and the
great crowds will be present.

but the imaginative hearer, the musician
who has some knowledge of archaic song
