Accident TO Warehouse.

IF. Tabb's new business house
although unfinished, has been used
for the storing of wheat. Only
few thousand bushels had beer
placed on the first floor. On Sat
urday the brick piers in the base
ment crumbled under the weight
and the first floor, back of the office
for a distance of probably 90 feet,
sank In the center to the basement
floor. this caused the second and
third floors to sink some. Slight
damage was done to some of the
giyders, and the joists were pulled
from the walls, hut the walls were
not injured. The contractors at
once began the removal of wheat
preparatory TO raising the floor for
placing substantial pillars. The
most serious loss to Mr.. Tabb is the
delay. 1t is hoped that the defect
will be repaired by Thursday night.

TOO BAD

For the Republicans, that peace
has been fully restored in Demo-
cratic ranks. In the Lexington
and Louisville troubles matters
have been fully adjusted by major
ity rule, Republicans had longed
for disruption beyond ccntroi oi
party leaders. They had talked
it, magnihed it, making mountains
out of mole hills, and now with
skies clear it will be for them to
make it their business to work
upon the feeling Of individuals in
the minority, hoping to cool party
ardor and to gain their influence
for their State nominee. In this
they will be ineffective because
the committeeman of the minority
as well as majority are profound
Democrats and are wise enough to
see the game of their scheming
opponents. State Democracy is
again free of divisions and it re-
mains for the people to follow the
action Of their leaders in Novem-
Der election. They will do it.

Next week the Press Of Ken

The members of this organization
should make good use Of their
time. Steps should be taken look
ing to an equity arrangement bas-
ed on a subscription list, for all

With keen perception the lines
should be drawn between the ad-
vertising and the news item, meth
DDS should be adopted by which
the local and daily press would be
enabled to get news from all parts
Of the country, fresh and at a rea-
sonable cost. The Advertising
Law should have due considera-
ton, the question of postage
should be handled with great care,
by committees vigilant of our in
terests. There are many other
things to be considered and though
a great number may wish to get
off on the much. to-be-desired sight
seeing trip, the body should not
allow this to detract from their

Do Not Believe That Mcbride Can
 su5stantIate Charges.

The ODell company sent out the fol- lowing statement from Cincinnati last night:
 "As a sequel to the suit brought here by one T. o. Mcbride against the ODelI company, we can assure you that there is absolutely nothing in it, and his whole claim Is without foundation. The ODell company Is ready to meet him in court when the case is brought to trial. We will also state that the O'Dell company's standing with the business community at large has always been an upright one, and they have been and are now noted for fair and honest dealings, and their integrity has never been questioned. For years this company has met every obll- gation.
 This man Mcbride claiming an inter- est in this concern, is he has any stand- ing would only add an additional asset, and on the other hand blackmailers are not looking after a concern without money. The o'Dell company is strong and solvent, as every bank will declare and Is today in grand shape and flrst-class standing.
 Amy one that has any lack of confi- dence may close their trades immediately. We are fully able to meet any and all ob- legations and to defeat all blackmaiIers in court"
