An Impressive Revelation.

Though Kentucky was not Off
cially represented at the dedica-
ton of the st. Louis worlds fair
last week, there was good ma
ny residents of the Blue Grass
State at the ceremonies. Every
visitor from the commonwealth,
found that this exposition will
surpass anything in the history of
nations.
At the head of this mammoth
undertaking is a former Kentuck-
ian-GOv. ID. r.. Francis, who was
born in the neighboring county
of Madison. 1t is safe to say that
had 100, 600 Kentuckians, instead
of / 900 attended the dedication
exercises, they would have re-
turned home ready and anxious
to contribute something to the
fund being raised by the X. E.A.
for a fitting representation of the
State there next fall.

Let Every Democrat Help.

The State primary election will
occur next Saturday. The with
drawal of his opponent, leaving
Governor Beckham walkover for
the nomination to succeed himself,
has reduced the interest in the con-
test and may result in light vote
unless the Democrats are aroused
to action. There are several other
sharp contests for offices almost as
important as that of Governor, and
it is hoped that such expression
he given in the races as will make
the nominees the decided choice of
the voters. Every Democrat ought
to feel enough interest in the selec-
zion of nominees for his party to
give portion of the day for the
purpose of helping to make the
choice. Remember that next Sat
nrday is the day.--Lexington Dem

lSlaCure OF hentucKy. Let us
look up the man, Irrespective of
politics, who will pledge himself
to do something for the State.
You all are surely aware of the
three great drawbacks to our
State. First, lawlessness; Sec
ond, defective land titles; third,
bad roads. AS toproposition No.
/, a Kentuckian has a name a.
Broad that he will shoot you down
on the slightest provocation.
AS to proposition NO. 2, will
saythat the writer has ridden the
mountain portionpf Powell coun-
ty over and time again with pros
pective buyers Of mineral and
timber lands in the past ten
years. After they would see e.
nough and then some to convince
them that it would be a paying
investment the next questio n
is, show is the title?" then we
would pull off our last years straw
hat to keep our ''har" from push
ing it off, and begin the oft told
story, viz: "Well, an old man
named Lee first settled this land
and he truck patched awhile, and
then he sold out TO Waller, and
give him a bond Waller left his
coat out at the crib and his COW
ate coat, bond and all then Wal
Ter sold to Uncle Phil Jacket, Civ
ing him his right, written on a
day book leaf-whatthe wording
was deponent knoweth not. IN
Gle Phil lived on. the land until
his death. He bad a large fami-
ly and the heirs began to sell, the
purchasers Waking no better title
than the above. Finally, it fell
into the hands of us.' The next
question was, show far back does
that date?" swell, 125 years."
SIS that of record in the County
Clerks office?' "Why, most as
suredly not" Then we don't
want the land," was the reply.
AS to proposition No. 3, | will
say that in the mountain portion
of the county, the public roads
are not wide enough to. drive a
sheep. From December until
June, they are almost ;mpassable
to a ''feller a foot"
Now, Gentlemen, let's start to

ate the three great hinderaces to

Cupid's Springtime Harvest.

In the merry springtime when SO
many hearts are lured by the god of
love and Cupid SO easily moves the
passions and spears a dart through
the hearts of those who do courtesy
to him, there is very subtle power
which often actuates the bonds of
friendship into a much stronger tie
and sometimes it engenders strife
that bubbles the bosom to overflow
ing.
Cupid was effectual in bringing
about twenty-five marriages in
Grant county during the month of
April and lovely May will probably
see this number eclips9d.

KILLED OR BURNED ALIVE
Horrible Tale of Twelve Men Who Lost
Their Lives in q Railway Wreck.

st. Paul, May S.-Meager reports
have been received of a serious acct
dent at Dexter, a small station on the
Canadian Pacific railway, fifty miles
west of Port Arthur, Ont, in which
twelve lives were lost. A large num-
Der of laborers was with work train
at Dexter, where they had been load
ing ties. Their train was on a side
track. and the men were at breakfast
in the caboose, or boarding car, at the
end of the train. A passenger train
crashed into the caboose, where the
men were eating, overturning the car,
and the wreckage caught fire almost
Immediately from the engine fire.
Of the men in the car twelve were
instantly killed or burned to death in
the wreckage, where they had been
pinned by the overturning of the car.
Eight others were seriously injured,
and others less seriously hurt. The
wreck is far from means of relief, and
details Of the accident are incomplete,
as the wires have been working badly
and no names or further information
about the accident has been received.

HIGH BREAD AT CHICAGO
Cakes Pastry and Buns Have Been A6-
vanced and the staff of Life
Comes Next

Chicago, May S.-AlI large bakeries
i'll Chicago and many of the smaller
concerns have raised the price ofcakes,
pastry and buns and proprietors say
that if the demands of labor for in
creased wages keep up they will be
compelled to charge more for bread.
With this boost in the price Of edibles
came the news that boarding houses
will charge more as a consequence of
the higher prices for food and meat.
A visit to grocery stores showed that
the proprietOrs were now receiving for
vegetables twice as much as they had
been getting a year ago.
The increase on buns is cents a
dozen and that on the pastry varies.
The high price Of eggs and milk is also
a cause for the increase. II look for
a further increase in prices of all bak-
cry goods" said the president of the
Piper company. one of the largest con-
Germs on the north side.
