KENTUCKY WOMEN
Will Start Work for Enforce
nent Of Child Labor Law.
They Will Also Interest Themselves
in the Compulsory Education
Statute.
NEW INSPECTORS ARE NEEDED

Andrew Ludwig. state inspector OF
labor, will ask the incoming legisIs.
ture 20 allow the commissioners of
agriculture and labor two additional
labor inspectors, with a view To q
strioter enfor cement of the state law
against child labor.
In addition TO the steps which Mr..
Ludwig will take to place officially be.
fore the legislature the restriction OF
child labor, the women of Kentucky
are bringing active forces TO bear in
the most effective manner. The Lonis-
vile woman's club; the CIVIC League,
Of Lexington; the Consumers League,
OF the State at large, and the Emerg-
ENJOY association have all appointed
Legislative committees. with instruc.
tions to exercise every inuflrnce that
10 available to secure stringent legis-
lation for the protection Of the child
rem in Kentucky.
The movement includes not only tho
prevention Of child labor, hut also the
compulsory education Of the Young
people Of the state. The present laws,
IL enforced. will be effective In freeing
the state Of the evils which follow the
employment Of children, but there il
no means by which those who SIRE in
terested from = philsnthropio point OF
view may reap the rewards Of their
efforts 20 establish higher plane Of
intelligence among the poor class Of
children.
MIR H. p. Halleck, Of Louisville.
president Of the Consumers League
OF Kontuoky, SAYS on this subject;
"Child labor exists. There is a
law upon The statute books prohibiting
q ohild under the age of fourteen 10 |
work in factory. Nevertheless there
are numbers Of children great many |
years under fourteen who are still in
Kentucky factories working ter hours
. day for SIX DAYS in the week, and |
sometimes working at night.
"Thb reason for this is not that the /
inspectors have failed in their duty,
but that two inspectors are insufficient
for the state Of Kentucky. There
wers 500 factories visited last ,ear,
wherein 1888 men, women and
children were employed. OF these,
so7 children were removed. But how
many evsded the inspector, how many
aftsrwari returned to work. and how
many factories went unvisited, are
facts not ascertained."
Miss Eleanor ~. Tarrant, who IS
chairman Of the ohild labor committee
of the Consumers League, is also
actively interested in the promotion OF
the work that has been undertaken by
the women Of the state.
IL 10 the fault OF no one in particu-
lar" said Miss Tarrant. "tnat the
children Of the state are not more care

THE NEW SANITARY LAWS
A Business Reason Why Arg na
 Should Enforce Them.

pr. R. NJ. Dodsworth returned home yesterday morning from a two weeks visit in Los Angeles and Long Beach. His trip was taken partly for pleasure. as he spent a portion of the time with his mother and sister. who have a cottage at Long Beach. But he had a business purpose in going also and that was to see a practical demOn- stration of the methods employed by the Los Angeles officials in carrying out sanitary laws and to familiarize him self with laboratory work concerning contagious and other diseases.
 He was with Ilr. Powers, the Los Angeles health officer. for three days constantly in laboratory work, the study or cultures, etc, and also visited many cases Of contagious diseases with him. such as smallpox. diphtheria. etc. Dr. Dodsworth, who is Arizonas first territorial health offieerr-says he is de- tef1nlned to make the office what it is designed to be. and the first thing for him to do was to post himself on what is going on among Arizona's neighbors. He learned something while in Los Angeles that makes him realize the work ahead and asks the cooperation of all county health officers in dispos- ing of it. That knowledge was that the Los Angeles people did their best last year to have Arizona placed in quaran- tine on account of smallpox, but the state board then in power refused to do it. Dr. Powers of Los Angeles says, however, that the present board is a vigorous one and that it will surely quarantine Arizona next winter unless Arizona herself takes radical measures to stamp out the smallpox. It only ex- ists here and there in cut of the way places, but it exists nevertheless, and when cold weather comes on it becomes epidemic in certain counties that have no health officers. California people claim that nearly all their smallpox comes from Arizona and most of it di- rectly and while they are willing to take a lot of thhpgs that come from this country they draw the liCe on smallpox or will pretty soon.
 Dr. Dodsworth says he wrote to all the county boards some time ago re- questing them to appoint a county health officer, but so far only half the counties have responded. Under the law it is his duty to appoint in any county where the board refuses to. and he will do it, for it is coming the right time of year to clean up against a smallpox outbreak. He does not pro- pose to let Arizona get in quarantine next winter if there is any virtue in the law.
 Dr. Dodsworth also made a careful study of the Los Angeles methods of milk inspection. That is not in his line directly but rather in the line of the health officers who report to hin!, but he wants to be up to date when these gentlemen begin talking as some of them probably will do If they closely follow the law.

WORK ON THE P. & [.
The Five Camps in the Field Moving
 Along Rapidly.

Mayor N. c. Webster of Mesa, who is interested in the building Of the Phoe- nix and Eastern railroad. arrived in the city on Saturday accompanied by E. w. French, whose business is to keep Grant Bros, the contractors, supplied with labor, which he says now is some what difficult. Mir French left yester- day morning for Prescott and will re- turn this morning and leave for the right of way. Work is progressing rapidly. There are five camps in the field, the farthest one out being sixty five miles. The camps were advanced three miles on Saturday. Camp No. is now about three miles this side of Florence, between tBat town and Bos- tons Butte. There is Q little heavy work in that vicinity, about all the work of that kind between here and Florence. There is comparatively little heavy work along the line. There is though in the neighborhoOd of River side necessity for tunnel 700 feet long,
 The system of numbering the camps is apt to be misleading to people who do not understand it. In the beginning the camps take their numbers from the place of beginning, The one nearest is called No. l, the next No. ?. The names of the camps are never changed though their relations may be. Thus No. l may get to be the farthest one out in- stead of the nearest one as it was at the beginning of the work As a mat ter of fact No. so far has not changed it's position in respect of the point of beginning, but all the others have, so that the next nearest camp is No. g.

RECORDS SMASHED
Also Automobiles and the Riders
On Account of Accidents the Great Paris-Madrid Races Cannot Be
 Continued on French Soil.

Paris. May 24.-The first stage of the race from Versailles to Bordeaux, 343 miles. was finished at noon today when Louis Renault dashed at a furious pace into Bordeaux. having made a record run of eight hours and twenty-seven minutes. An hour later NJ. Gabriel ar rived with still better record of eight hours and seven minutes. It is estim- ated that at times these automobiles covered siXty-two miles an hour.
 These victories, however, were cloud cd by a series of accidents, having in one case at least a fatal result At least two cars were wrecked, those of Marcel Renault. the winner of the Paris-Vienna race last year, and Tor raine Barrow, very well-known auto mobilist.
 Report says' that a serious accident occurred near Angouleme, in which the two occupants of an automobile, the owner of which is not yet known. were seriously injured and two spectators were killed
 Barrouis' car struck a tree with ter rife force. His chaffeur was killed out right. Barrouis himself was picked up unconscious but still breathing, and was taken to the hospital, where his condition was declared to be critical. His car was dashed to pieces. News came that Renault had been overturned in deep ditch beside the road near Coupe, and that he was dangerously injured. It is feared that he will die His chaffeur is believed to be fatally hurt.
 Dispatches from points along the course add to the list of fatalities and accidents. The most terrible occurred near Bonneville. where machine driv- en by NJ Porter was overturned at a railroad crossing and took fire. The chaffeur was caught under the auto mobile and burned to death, while two soldiers and child were killed.
 4 chaffeur was badly injured by an accident to his motor car near Angou- leme. A woman crossing the road in the neighborhood of Ablis was run over by one of the competing cars and killed.

OIL TO BE ABANDONED
Texas Officials Decide That Coal Is
 Cheaper.

Austin Tex. May 24.-Tha state has definitely decided to abandon the use of oil as a fuel The purchasing agent has figured it out and has estimated that the oil is row costing the state about $l.3O per barrel, at which price coal is mucn cheaper. There is also an additional drawback to the oil that the supply is so limited, apparently, that not more than three cars can be had at one time, and this supply is not sufficient for the needs of the various institutions.
 The change from coal to oil-burning devices has cost the state nothing. be- cause there was considerable saving for a time, and the cost has been more than recovered. The devices are still on hand in case there is renewal O. the cheap oil with the development of the several new fields throughout the state.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
The Volume and Prices at Kansas
 City Last Week.

Kansas City. Mo, May 2A-Cattle re- ceipts at Kansas City last week amounted to 26,945 head. as compared with 2O,6O3 the corresponding week q year ago. The demand for beef cattle was heavy, both from local killers and from eastern order buyers, but exces- sive supplies at all the markets were the controlling feature. and corn cattle of all kinds lost 10c to 15c. Stockers. feeders and she>stuff are all lower Quarantine cattle got their break the previous week. and sold steady last week. and sold 10c to 2oc lower. Stock CTS and feeders closed the week lower. but an examination of the stocker. and feeder trade of the past Few weeks shows that the demand is better now than last year. Best native steers sold at S9-25 last week, and best westerns at S4.9O. A bunch of Ted yearlings brought S4-S5. William Mcfarland. of Baca county, Colo. was oa the market Wed nesday with three loads of cows from his ranch, which he had brought to Missouri in January, and kept on full feed Since then. They were so poor at the time that he thought they would rot live through the winter in Colorado but they brought S3.60 Wednesday, re- alizing a nice profit.
 The general market is steady to Ice lower, stockers and feeders q lit tie higher, she stuff uneven but with lower tendency. and beef steers Sc to Ice lower. All kinds, however. are dis tinctly lower than last Monday.
 Sheep receipts at Kansas City last week were liberal at 35,312 head, as compared with IA. $50 the same week last year. The week netted a steady market on Texas muttons, which com posed the bulk Of the run, and strong inquiry for lambs. oi which very few arrived after Monday. Yesterdays run was big at F, 900 head, but the market opened early and ruled active al 1Oc lower than prices on Texans, and from steady to 10c lower on lambs. The first sales of lambs were on a steady basis. but lower, eastern reports weakened the market. Sixty-nine pound wooded Colorados brought $7.35 today. against S7.50 last Monday. Other sales were made at s7.25. and clipped stock sold around S6.50 to S6.15. Clipped wethers brought $500 and ewes $4.75. Texans sold from s415 to s4.75. Considering the size of the run, and the lower trend of values. the movement today was very satisfactory.

THE LOST CABIN MINE
Found Again, This Time ill Mon
 tana.

New York, May 24.-Judging from the large number Of Lost Cabin mines that Of late have been securing pub hcity, 1t might be imagined that the names which can be given to claims is limited to this famous designation. The existence Of a property known as the Lost Cabin" mine is recorded by those who mined in the eos and who are still living. They say that the prop erty attracted general attention years ago. The trouble so far has been to To- cate the property
 It TOW appears that Harry Stevens of M!ssoula, Mont, has made a discov- cry which he believes may prove to be the famous Lost Cabin" mine. Mir stevens made the find last week. while taking trip through the hill near town. He has mentioned 1t to only a few intimate friends and has told of the location Of the place to none, as he intends first to investigate it thorough ly and find out what he has stumbled upon.
 While strollinG about an unfrequent- ed place. he came upon the ruins of cabin, bones that look as if they might be the skeleton of human be- ing. and a grub" box with the inscrip- ticn "Walla Walla" on it. Near the ruined cabin Is a shaft. which is looked upon as proof that the early occupant Of the cabin was a prOspector
 Almost everyone in the northwest has heard of the Lost Cabin mine. IL is numerous property and has been var iously located in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The last one discovered i;. Montana was in Flathead county. A story connecting this section of the state with the reputad fabuIously rich mine is to the'effect that two prospect ors left Walla Walla and started for the hills to the east. After an extended absence they returned to Walla Walla for supplies and brought with them a quantity of very rich gold ore.
 After leaving Walla WalIa to return to their claim they were heard of no more. It was never known whether they got lost in the hills on their way back, or if, after reaching their cabin in the mountains they were stricken with disease and died there. This is said to have occurred more than forty years ago and since that time prospect CTS have hunted for the Lost Cabin" mine so often that few ca bins could ex- ist in the northwestern hills without having been visited by seekers for the mine of untold wealth.
