to Increase the amount of ore treated.
r The Kildonan cyanide plant of the
Horseshoe company at Puma is being i'm

REMOVAL.

THE ADVOCATE PUBLISH
ING Co. will go into their new
quarters on Bank street Feb
ruary 1st. We make this
change of location for two
reasons; first, our business
has grown to that extent that
more room is necessary, and
second, because we could put
our heavy machinery in the
basement of the building on a
stone foundation. We will
have there 1900 square feet of
room, with refusal of 400 ad-
ditional feet.
The rooms we will leave are
in a good location, good repair
and is a fine place for any kind
of mercantile business. Per
sons wanting such rooms
should call on Judge Lewis
Apperson or at this office.

Clerk of Court Of Appeals.

The retiring County Clerk, Mr.
W. b. O'Connell, deserves more
than a passing notice. That he has
been a fine County Clerk every man
who knows the work of the office
and has examined his books will
testify. Beginning like the boy in
school training for a profession he
has been looking forward to The
day when he would be Clerk of tn,
Court of Appeals.
Mr.. O'Connell is now thirty six
years old and for fifteen years he
has been subject to training foi
the good OF hisssambition. He is
therefore thoroughly prepared.
AS a Democrat he is a worker in
the forefront, ever ready with a
reason for his faith. Eastern Ken
lucky will, in our opinion, give hin
her solid strength, and a strong
following in Southern, Western and
Central Kentucky is his.
We believe the Democrats will
give him the nomination, and he
would win in a walk.

general throughout the country the io'-
loving statement:
"The Post Office Officials at Washing
ton, d. c., have JUST RULED that a
subscription to any publication, entered
as second class matter, MUST BE Dis
CONTINUED, when the time tor which
it is PAID IN ADVANCE has expired.
This is such radical ruling and di-
rectlv opposite to all law and previous
rulings. that ii means complete change
and revolution In the publishing business.
This ruling will greatly reduce the circu-
lation Of nearly all papers and cause the
Withdrawal of many advertisements until
lower rate is put into effect. This vital
" affects YOU for IL prohibits ertendfNg
credit TO yonr subscribers, and reduces
your circulation and value to advertisers.
Any violation of this wi deprive the
publisher of his pound rate" :,
Postmasters will Immediately notify all
publishers in their respe tive cities that
the statements made in the above quota
ton are untrue, and misrepresent the at
titude and purpose of the Department,
and that there has been no such change
in the rules or practice with regard 10
subscriptions to legitimate second-class
publications as is represented.
The report grows out OF ruling IN an
individual case of a New York puonca-
ton which was carrying an enormous iist
of expired subscriptions which were
largely first induced by premiums ana
where due notice had been given to the
subscriber, who had failed to renew or to
order continuance with promise TO pay,
expressed or implied.
When general rulings are made they
are published in this Bulletin for the IN
formation of the public and all postmas-
ters. A ruling such is represented 10
have been made would be unwarranted
under the law.
Postmasters will take immediate action
under these instructions.

woman who Was Brought to Grief on
a shopping Tour.

ohOppln8 Aout.
She was worthy old lady. who
loved to help people, and when visit
ing London liked to go shopping alone
and return home loaded with gifts for
her friends. One day, however, says
London Tit-Bits, She eappeared empty
handed and APPARENTLY much upset,
and this was what she said:
swell, / suppose may as well tell
you. Perhaps it will make me feel
better. / had been looking at some
cloaks at Whites, and had about de-
cided to buy one for Annie-oh, it
was beauty--when thought, now,
perhaps she would like that handsome
black silk better, so went back to
look at the silk counter. But the
cloak was fixed in my mind and |
couldn't give it up, so ! strayed once
more among the cloaks. cSe Of the
dummies had been tilted up against
The counter in such way that the
least touch would send the whole ma
chine on the floor, and all those beau
tiful clothes on it would get dusty; so,
as it was an easy matter TO straig'hten
it up, just took itup by the waist and
lifted it into position again; when
oh, dear can't tellthe rest-it's too
dreadful"
''Go on, go onl What happened7
Did you tear some Of the expensive
finery?"
'No, nothing of that kind, but--it
was a live woman, and the look she
gave me / shall never forget, if | live
to be as old as Methuselahp'
After the burst Of uncomfortable
laughter that followed this confession
was over one ofthe nieces said:
TELL us the rest. What did you do
next?'
Il felt faint, and stammered: oh,
excuse me, but / couldn't tell her I
had.mistaken her for dummy. and !
walked away without buying anything
or caring for anything but TO get out
of sight"

FIGUREHEADs on sHIPs.
The chinaman Paints an Eye on th'
Prov of HIS Junk.

The Chinaman paints an eye on
The prov ofhis boat, says Good Words.
This eye plays the part of the look
out man; thus collisions are prevent
ed 1t has been suggested that this
is the primal form from which the
European iigurehead was evolved.
John Chinaman does not appear to
have cultivated to any great extent
ihe taste for going down TO the sea
in ships; that would account for ;he
elementary character Of the Chinese
fgurehead The fgurehead of the
New Zealander. on The other hand,
is most elaborate. Capt. Cook found
them already addicted to lions heads.
This is curious, because there were
no lions in New Zealand at any time,
30 far as he knew. Probably they
we're copyists and ths- s-original was a
igurehead from wreck Of a sixteenth
or seventeenth century vessel At
that time almost all the European
navies affected a lions head Some
IF these old boats had fgurehead
not only ON the true prov, but Sec
ond on The false, or inner prov. The
Sovereign Of the Seas, built for
Charles l., had on the true prov a
figure Of King Edgar on horseback;
beneath the horse'sfeei were the seven
petty Saxon kings subject to his sway.
On the false prov was Cupid riding
upon lion. Haywood, who designed
the second figurehead, explains that
twas meant tosymbolize "the Higher
Power whose majesty is over all and
rules all his work" Nor were the
prows of these old vessels the only
part decorated. The parts of the yes
sci known as the "cat heads" and the
Knight heads" derive their names
from the carvings of helmed knights
and cats heads with which they were
ance adorned.

A CORRECTION.

Last week the editor of the AD-
vocATE wrote to the Third Assist
ant Postmaster General, Edward
c. Madden, regarding an alleged
ruling of the officials of the Post
Office Department at Washington,
pointing out hardships that would
have been endured by the country
press as we'll as the readers of
weekly papers, many of whom are
not able to plank down the cash
for their papers. To do without
them is to become isolated from
the busy, aggressive world, her
progress in inventions, arts and
sciences and would be controlled
only by the people and party in
power, who would dish what they
desired, making them one in the
maintenance ofthe money powers.
Without the weekly press, adver-
tising would go from 90 to $50
or more. The invented plow,
harvester ETC., would be unknown
and the poor would become the
more ignorant and subject to the
more fortunate. In answer to our
arguments we have the following
from Mr.. Madden which will give
a rest for us agitators:
Sir In reply to your letter re-
garding an alleged ruling Of this
Department relative to Paid-in-ad-
vance subscriptions, you are in
formed that the Department has
not ruled that only subscriptions
paid in advance are legitimate.
There has been no NEW ruling in
this regard. Reasonable credit
subscriptions to legitimate publ
cations are unobjectionable under
the law and regulations, as here
tofore.
The report circulated by the
National Publishers Bureau ap-
pears to be designed to embarrass
the postal reforms now in pro
gress.
The Department would be pleas
ed to have you correct through the
columns Of your paper the wrong
impression given, regarding this
matter.
Your attention is directed to the
enclosed copy OF the instructions
TO postmasters published in the
Post Office Bulletin" OF Dec. so
