The Town Trustees are making
an effort to stop the sale of intox-
icants in this town on Sundays, and
in this they are to be commended
and encouraged. There has already
been one fine assessed for selling on
Sunday. The defiant manner in
which the saloons have been kept
open on the Sabbath is shame and
a disgrace. 1t can be stopped and
it ought to be stopped. Some OF
the stores have also been kept open
on Sundays, and this; too, ought
to be stopped.
John Wilson, from Virginia, a
farmland in this section went Mon
day, August 4th, to the residence
of Elijah Jones, tenant who lives
on b, T. Wright's farm, near town,
beastly drunk and forced some of
the children to drink whiskey. Mr..
Jones was not at home, and Mrs.
Jones was compelled to leave the
house and hide in the garden.
When Charlie Jones, an older son,
arrived home he ordered Wilson to
leave; and when Wilson refused,
Charlie came to town for the Mar
shall who went out, arrested Will
son, brought him to town and
lodged him in jail. He was tried
Tuesday afternoon before Magis-
trate S L. Howard, who fined him
$50 and costs, failing to pay or re-
plevy which, Wilson was sent to
the Owingsville jail.

King Edward VII is Crowned,

The crowning of Edward as King
of Great Britain and Ireland and
Emperor of India, and of Alexan-
dria as his consort, took place on
Saturday in Westminster Abbey,
London before a brilliant assem-
blage of English nobility. No ac-
cident marred the professions or
the ceremonies in the Abbey. An
incident approaching the sensation
al occurred when the venerable
Archbishop of Canterbury attempt
ed to place the crown on the Kings
head. Overcome by nervousness
and suffering from impaired eye
sight, he started to place the en-
blem backward. An instant later
he swooned and would have fallen
had not Edward himself grabbed
him by the arm.

over fifty fire insurance companies
now represented here will be with
out local agents in the near future.
1t all grows out of the action OF
the Kentucky ana Tennessee Board
of Underwriters in raising the
rates of insurance for Bowling
Green. The insurers here are in
dignant, the rates on most manu-
featuring and mercantile houses
and their wars having been in
creased from 25 TO 200 per cent.
The local companies were losing
their business so fast, business
men refusing to submit to the new
schedule, that the Bowling Green
Board of Underwriters was forced
to take some sort Of action TO pro-
tect themselves and their custom
ers. Accordingly, meetingof the
board was held this afternoon and
resolutions protesting against the
increased rates were adopted.
The resolutions say the local agents
will positively refuse to attempt
to write insurance under the new
schedule, which means the loss of
many thousand dollars annually to
the various companies.
THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
The following are the resolutions
adopted by the Bowling Green
Board of Underwriters
Whereas, we have recently re-
ceived a new schedule of fire in
surance rates for Bowling Green,
and, whereas, said rating is a very
large increase over the former one,
and, whereas, the business men
and citizens of this community
complain that this is unfair and
unjust and refuse to insure at the
rating under the new schedule, and
whereas, there are many apparent
and glaring inconsistencies therein;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we and each of
us decline to accept the new rating
and declare that we will issue poll
cies under the old rating with the
25 per cent raise and will tender
back the new schedules; be it fur
ther
Resolved, That we send a copy
of this resolution to the Kentucky
and Tennessee Board of Under
writer's and to each of the compa-
nies represented by US and urgent
ly request each of them to cooper
ate with us in securing just and
reasonable rating for this city,
: taking into consideration our ia
cilities for extinguishing fires, and
in this we believe we already have
the sympathy of the said Kentucky
and Tennessee Board of Fire I'm
derwriters, and, be it further
Resolved, That the President of
this Board appoint committeeSof
two to confer with the Kentucky
and Tennessee Board of Under
writers for the purpose of procur-
ing their cooperation.
Bowling Green is the first town
to take action in the matter, but it
is presumed others will follow.

story of the Childhood of the Late
DOwager Empress of Ger
many.

The late dowager empress of Ger
many was for so many years prom
inent figure in the worlds gallery of
unhappy women that it is not easy
to think of her as little, laughing,
golden-haired girl, with merry
tongue that often got her into trou-
BILE with her august mother, Queen
Victoria; yet that is the picture Of
her which Vanity Fair presents.
The late queen, who brought up
her children as wisely as any mother
in all England, insisted among other
things that they should treat all
members of the household with re-
spect, and address each member by
his or her correct title.
The little princess royal frequently
broke this rule, her most serious Of
Tense being a determination, which
no amount of punishment checked,
to call the physician in ordinary by his
last name only-"Brown.'
The queen, finding all other penal
ties futile, had finally threatened to
send the princess royal to bed at the
next offense, no matter at what time
in the day it should occur. Walking
with her mother one morning along
the corridor in the palace, the little
Victoria met the physician.
"Good morning, Brown!" she cried.
saucily. CHANGING up, she met the
sorrowful and displeased eyes of her
mother, and Immediately added:
"And good night, Brown, for I'm go
ing to bed!"
Then, with a courtesy to the queen
and the barest nod to the physician,
the princess royal danced off to the
nursery. AS soon as she was inside
the room she said, with a defiant toss
of her golden, curly head:
"Please, somebody, put me to bed.
I've been dis'spectful to Brown

ley's tribute to the bravery of Lieut..
Gen. Sir Gerald Graham, V. c., G. c. b.,
G. C. NJ. G.:
At the storming of the Taku forts
Graham, who was in China with Cor
don, led the sappers, whose duty it was
to lay the pontoon across the wet ditch
surrounding the great northern fort.
While experimenting this operation
he was on horseback, and being almost
the only mounted officer present, af-
forded an easy mark to the Chinese
matchlockmen, who had already
picked off Is of his sappers.
During the height of the uproar
caused by the firing of the great guns
and small arms, Lieut.. Col. Wolseley,
who was standing by Maj. Graham,
having some remark to make, placed
his hand on that officers thigh to draw
his attention.
Don't put your hand there!" ex-
claimed Graham, wincing under the
pain. There's a jingal-ball lodged in
my leg"

of the wound.-Youth's Companion.

KEEPING MILK PURE.
1t Can BE Done If the Right Kind of
Pail and Straining Apparatus
Is Used.

Poor butter is very often the result
of impurities that get into the milk at
milking time. Cloth strainers viii
help matters materially, but first of all
thoroughly rub the cows udders with
a piece of burlap before milking. The
best pail for milking with cloth strain
ers can be made by the tinsmith after
the pattern shown in the cut. Lay the
cloth tightly over the top of the pail,
then press the top piece down inside
the rim Of the pail. The milk can
not spatter out, and must pass through
the cloth into the pail. Probably not
one dairyman in hundred is as par
ticular as he should be in the matter
of getting the milk from the cows in
the cleanliest possible manner. After
visiting many dairy farms and noting
the filthy manner in which the cows
are cared for and milked, think my
statement of not one in a hundred is
not wide of the mark. In many barns

Dear Sir:
Yours of the 10th, stating that you
have made excavations on the site
last chosen for the dam in the upper
canyon is at hand.
Without going into the technicali-
ties, | must say that / think you are
mistaken. | went over the ground
last year with our consulting engi-
neer, and he is quite sure that a dam
at the point where you are working
will be entirely safe. Make such
changes in the plan of construction
as the nature of the substrata de-
mands, and push the work with the
utmost speed. With all due regard
for your opinion, l will say that |
have always found the members of
your profession inclined to err on the
side of permanence at the cost of
celebrity; and the work must be
driven. Results are what we want.
Take another week for the exca-
waiting, and if you do not strike bed
rock, put in concrete and build your
dam. A change to the former loca-
tion, as you suggest, is impossible.
Macpherson will not sell, and he is a
man of means and influence, abund-
antly strong enough to fight battle
which would delay us indefinitely.
Moreover, the settlers are threaten
ing, and you must keep the peace at
all hazards. Your destruction of their
fiume and ditch was exceedingly i'll
advised, and if it be not too late, l
would suggest that these be re-
placed. Yours truly,

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Do not change the feed suddenly.
Salt should always be accessible.
Read current dairy literature and
keep posted on new ideas.
Have the herd examined at least
twice year by skilled veterinarian.
Do not move cows faster than
comfortable walk while on the way
to place of milking or feeding.
Never allow the COWS to be excited
by hard driving, abuse, loud talking
or unnecessary disturbance; do not
expose them to cold or storms.
Feed literally, and use only fresh,
palatable feed stuffs; in no case
should decomposed or moldy material
be used.
Observe and enforce the utmost
cleanliness about the cattle, their at
tendants, the stable, the dairy and all
utensils.
Promptly remove from the herd
any animal suspected of being in bad
health, and reject her milk. Never
add an animal to the herd until GER
tain it is free from disease, especial
ly rculosis.-FRrmers' Review.

MILK STOOL AND PAIL.
The Combination Here Described II
Held in High Esteem by All Who
Have Used 1t.

We have tried several kinds of stools
and have seen all styles in operation
in various parts of the country, but
nothing suits US so well as the style
shown here, says Michigan farmer in
Hoard's Dairyman. We made the first
one when we commenced dairying.
The cut shows how to make it. The
board A should be about % inches long
for tall man and about eight inches
wide. The two end pieces, b and c,
can be cut and adjusted to suit each
milker. We made the stool 80 as to
have the seat d about ten inches high.
