Easy Feeling On tine Isthmus

Among American citizens on the
Isthmus there is now a feeling of
relief, as there is now United
States warship at each end of the
Panama railroad line. There are
no indications of an immediate at
tack by the revolutionists.
In personal interview with H..
G.. Prescott, general superintend-
ent of the Panama railroad, re.
garding the application of Fridays
decree to the natives employed by
that corporation, he said that his
company is doing everything possi-
BILE to protect them and its own
property in accordance with the
treaty of 1916, embodying the
contract with the Columbian Gov
ernment

Dread Secret Too Much.

A dispatch from Boston says
Lieutenant John r. Morris, u. 5.
N, was found dead in his state
room on the United States ship
Olympic by fellow officer Mon
day. He had committed suicide
by shooting with a revolver. 1t
has always been believed among
his many friends with whom he had
talked about the sinking of the
Maine that he had information con
cerning the cause which has never
been made public 1t is believed
he knew just whose fault it was
that caused the explosion, and thai
one was a fellow officer on the
Maine.

Forced to Accept Rates.

The local fire insurance agents,
of Bowling Green, representing
about sixty companies, have final
ly been forced to accept the rates
made for Bowling Green by the
Kentucky and Tennessee Board of
Fire Underwriters. They made
strenuous protests and sent COM
mittees to confer with the associa-
ton. but to no avail. AS a result
the local agents held a meeting and
agreed to the rates in the schedule.
In some cases the rate is raised leo
per cent, and in most instances the
rates have been greatly increased

New Use for Refined Paraffine
Wax.

A new and important use for re
fined parafline wax seems to have
been discovered by a prominent res
ident of Ohio, living near Lancas-
caster, who had two trees badly
damaged by storm, one being a
maple and the other an apple.
In each case large limb was
broken down from the trunk, but
still attached to it. The limbs
were propped up and fastened Sc
curely with straps, very much as a
broken leg might be fastened with
splints, and then melted or refined
wax poured into and all over the
cracks. The surgical operation
was entirely successful. The Par
anine prevented the escape Of the
sap, kept out the rain and mois-
ture which would have rOtted the
trees, ,ssprevented the depredations
of insects, and the limbs seem thus
far to be perfectly re-attached to
the trees.

Going to Texas.

Rev John H. Boyet, who so
faithfully and ably assisted the
Pastor of the Baptist church w. j.
Bolin, in a meeting here some
years ago, writes the following
letter from his home in Maysville,
KY, to the Baptist Argus.
GAS stated in your columns last
week, l have been called to Sui
phur Springs, Texas, and have ac-
cepted. This is the second time
in life l have been called to a for
mer pastorate. After pastorate
of six years at Honey Grove, Tex,
and after an absence of six years

never forget the ovation | received
there on my visit last summer.

nearly five years and have been alb
sent from them fifteen years. They
have splendid church building,
and also a good parsonage which
was built while was their pastor
before, though it has been much
enlarged and improved.
At Wolfe City, near where /
preached six years ago to a great
many country churches, and where
many of my earliest friends and
helpers now live, their old love fol
me, which has never faltered, con-
strains them to entice me back tc
the State, and it means a beautiful
little farm where ] hope to spend
my last years among them, and
then sleep among their dead.

WIRE DANCING.
Extraordinary Equilibrism by a
Spanish Troupe.

Wire-walking and rope-dancing
are among the very Oldest Of physi-
cal displays of nerve and skill.
A circus program without one or
more exhibitions of wire walking
would be strange affair. AL
though wire walking cannot be
made feature of first class. s.show,
it can be, if extremely we'll done,
quite interesting as number on
the programme. For that reason

Enormous Shows United, in pur-
suit of their policy of presenting
nothing that is not the very best
of its kind, have secured the very
greatest troupe of foreign wire
walkers, the Four Carmens, COM
prising three gentlemen and one
lady. They all use single strand
of wire as roadway upon which
the perform all sorts of difficult
tricks, such as passing each other
jumping over one another, dancing,
cakewalking and many Other
difficult feats of equilibrism. AS
wire walkers they will be an as
founding revelation of the possibil
tiles of balancing accomplishment
They are far and away the Creates
wire-walkers of the civilized world
Monkeys might possibly equal then

no human beings can. They viii

Free Speech and the Right to Sian
der Property Discussed By
JUDGE 0'Rear.

Judge O'Rear Of the Court of
Appeals to-day in lengthy opinion
declined to dissolve the injunction
granted in Pike Circuit Court to
the Northern Coal and Coke Co. vs..
c.. S. Nield and others. The COM
pany owned or had contracts for
the purchase Of several thousand
acres of coal lands in Pike, Letcher
and other counties, and in the mo-
ton for injunction charged Nield
and Others with attempting TO buy
the same lands from the original
owners, thus tending to discredit
the compan's titles to the different
tracts. Judge O,Rear says
Men will not be permitted un-
der the guise Of free speech to falls
ly represent anothers property
so as to impair its value, and tC
acquire it against the consent ant
right Of the owner.
The clerk of the Pike Circuit
Court is directed to file this order
with the record Of this case ano
spread it on the memorandum book
of that court.

NORTH AND SOUTH
In the Presbyterian Church will
Meet In Lexington.

The most important meeting of
Presbyterians ever held in Ken
tucky will be held in Lexington on
Tuesday Oct, IA, the meeting being
the centennial anniversary of the
establishment of the Presbyterian
church in Kentucky. 1t will be a
joint synodical meeting of the
Northern and Southern Synods of
this State. This will be the first
time they have convened in Joint
meeting since before the civil War,
the church having suffered a
schism on the slavery question at
that period.
The centennial of the church's es-
tablishment will be observed. The
synod was formed by the actions
of the General Assembly of 1902.
1t embraced all the churches lying
west of the boundary between Vir-
ginia and Kentucky. Across the
Ohio river it covered all the terri
tory west of Columbus and the
Scioto river. These boundaries
continued for twelve or fifteen
years. In 1914 the synod of Ohio
was constituted with the Ohio
river as its southern boundary
and 1917 the synod of Tennessee
was established to include the ter
ritory from the Kentucky line tc
the Gulf of Mexico.

A BABY ACT.
Politicians Blame Shaw for All
OF the Trouble.

Surface indications point to a
prospective interruption of the
cordial relations existing between
the president and Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw, of Iowa.
The declination of Speaker Hen
derson to accept denomination
for Congress is responsible for the
feeling that is said to exist. Shaw
had been cognizant of Speaker
Henderson intentions for some
time and yet failed to place tn,
president in possession of the in.
formation Had he, done so. the
president might have prevailed
upon the speaker to reconsider his
determination The president is
angry. He referred to Hender
sons act as baby act. Today
the presidents indignation is due
to the belief that Henderson ha:
placed the Republican party in q
wrong light throughout the coun
try because of the alleged reason
for the step. Some of the presi
dents friends are inclined to the
belief that Shaw is playing deep il
politics and that he purposely
withheld the information.

A Distinctly New Feature.

Always to the fore, the X. L. H..
b. Association this year announces
an innovation that is attracting
the attention and support of prac-
tically every prominent amateur
reinsman in the country. Five cup
races have been provided for anna
teur drivers and already such men as
c. X. G.. Billigs, E. E. Smathers,
II. X. Devereaux, F. G.. Jones, c..
F. Emery, C. A. Otis, ETC., have
assured Secretary Franklin that
they will contest. The driving
clubs represented include New
York, Cleveland, Chicago, Toledo,
Pittsburg, Detroit, Boston, Svra-
cuse, etc. These events for hand
some trophies frequently attract as
great a class of equine wonders as
do the best known trotting classics,
and produce in many cases most
splendid contests. Heretofore
such contests have been limited to
clubs, but, as usual, this Associa-
ton takes the initiative, and offers
five such races for decision during
its ten days meeting, Oct. 7th tC

Horsemen Protest.

Several stockmen interested in
race horses registered a "kick"
against the promoters Of the State
Fair. They stated that in making

and that when the taxpayers are
counting up $4,000 annually foI
a State fair, thoroughbreds ought
to have a showing.

WHEAT AND CORN GOOD
Says Secretary Wilson After An
Extended Tour.

Secretary Wilson, who returned
Wednesday night from trip
through the West, summarized the
agricultural conditions in the
States he visited. These States
included Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. He said
there was great abundance of
crops generally.
"There will be good corn
CROP be said "Corn now is sub
stantially out of the way of the
frost.
"The corn crops in parts of
Kansas, Nebraska and Indiana
are probably the finest on record.
While it may not be a record
breaker, the quality of the corn is
splendid, and with the exception
Southern States, the yield per acre
very heavy.
"The wheatcrop of the West this
year is also very fine, and the
the grass crop is exceedingly good
This informotion, taken together
with the fine crop of grass, insure.
lower prices of meat.

A CURIOSITY
Postal Gard Goes From Paris.
France. to Bowling Green,
Ku.. Without Name.

The Park City Times, Bowling
Green, KY, last week said; A
curiosity reached Bowling Green
kp-day in the shape of French
fpostal card, mailed in Paris, and
sent to Miss Halle Erminie Rives,
the Kentucky authoress, now res
ident of New York. What makes
the card a curiosity is the fact that
its face does not bear Miss Rives'
name, but was delivered by means
of her portrait painted on it by a
French artist. Below the picture
is the word ''New YORK" So well
known is this Kentucky girl in the
northern metropolis that the post
Office authorities recognized the
picture and sent the card to Miss
Rives. The authoress sent the card
fss letter to a friend now residing
, &wling Green.
Back of this unique postal card
little story. Miss Rives new
novel, "Hearts Courageous" which
is now making furor in the North
has plot which turns upon the
coming of the French feet to the aid
OF the Americans during the wal
for independence. When the
Countess de Rechambeau, few
weeks ago visited this country in
connection with the unveiling OF
the Rochambeau monument in
Washington, she read this novel
and sent for Miss Rives to visit her
!, alsa- her apartments at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel in New York. A
117iendship sprang up between them
and when the Countess sailed fol
some she carried an autographed
copy of NFHearts Courageous" tC
the President of the French Re-
public.
The story was written widely IL
the French newspapers upon The
Countess return. The Figaro
Qablished Miss Rives portrait al
tht author of Hearts Courageous
but did not give her name. The
Figaro's picture met the eye of thu
French painter, Leon Moncapeau
who wished to secure the move
from America but knew not whom
to address as it's author. Hence
the postal card written by him il
French, whose only address is Miss
Rives painted picture. The trans
lation of the card reads.
Il hope that my portrait of yol
copied after that in the Figaro, will
serve as address in America, where
without doubt, your face will b'
recognized Immediately by thu
gentlemen of the postal bureau
Miss Rives was so struck by th,
ingenuity Of her French CORES
ponNent that she sent him cop,

Murderer Captured and Burned

Near San Bernardino, Cal. "Gen-
eral'' Bruce, notorious Indian
outlaw, who several months ago
murdered Victoria Maria, a young
squaw, by choking her into insen-
sibility and then burying her alive,
was captured by the Indians in
Southern Nevada. A rope was
fastened by slip nooses around his
neck and with the other end tied to
the horn of saddle. The murder
er was then dragged for mile
across the rock strewn desert. The
body, which was horribly lacer-
ated, was then thrown on a huge
pile of wood and burned.
