Lumber Market in Kentucky
Reported in Good Condition.
Two Years Prosperity and Conditions
Still Favorable.

Albert Gone, of Chicago, who has
been all over the state and is connect
ed with the American Lumberman,
has Just returned from an inspection
of the various river lumber points in
Kentucky. In discussing the market
in this state, Mr.. Gone said;
1.-The supply of oak and poplar, the
chief numbers in X entucky, has been
unusually large, and yet the market
has been strong. The demand by man
ufacturers for these woods has been so
great that the price OF oak has ad-
vanced, while the price of poplar has
remained firm. | have visited all the
chief lumber points in Kentucky, and
have found conditions favorable. Logs
are being RATED along the rivers, and
will be foated to the lumber centers
on the first big rise. Poplar will be
supplied in large quantities.
1.-THE past two years have been a
period of unprecedented prosperity
for lumbermen-so much so that they
believe it was too good to last. The
enormous quantity of lumber recently
thrown on the market raised some
doubts as to whether the -etail prices
would hold under the strain. But
they did. and it 10 now generally be-
lieved that there will be no slump IN.
less the general market falls, in which
case the price of lumber would natu-

The Children's Home Society
Adopts New Plar.
Muck Interest Taken Throughout
the State in the
Work.
PADUCAH A GOOD PGACE.

A great many people have doubtless
noticed the small wooden cradles that
set on many counters throughout the
city, bearing the picture of fori0rn
looking child, with the inscription,
"Help me to find . home" and will
be interested to learn their significance
They are in every city of Kentucky,
and are for the benefit of the Chill
dren's Home society.
These cradles are placed in conspic
uous places, in the majority OF the res.
taursnts, drug stores and saloons and
constitute only one of several schemes
to reach the hearts and pocketbooks Of
the multitude. Since last July, when
the cradles appeared, $3.50 has been
collected, and considering the small
amounts dropped into the slots, this
represents the contributions of hun
dredds of people.
The Kentucky Children's Home so.
ciety is the originator of the scheme,
and il is to general fund for the
maintenance of the home that money
raised through this medium is applied.
The society is state institution, for
the support Of which the state allows
e., 900 year, a little less than third
of the annual expenses.
The aim and purpos Of the home is
TO locate destitute, ill-treated and neg
lected children and place them in the
homes of kind and respectable people.
Two hundred and thirty-four were
placed last year, and as the work is
increasing every month, slight idea
of the great good the society is doing
can readily be seen
Thelwork is under the direct super:
vision of Mr.. George l.. Sehon. the
superintendent, who has agents
throughout the state constantly on the
lookout for unfortunate children.
Mr.. Sehon says the returns from the
cradles are greater in saloons than in
any other places Of business. and
q lively interest 10 taken IN the work
by the proprietors Of these places.
One saloon keeper IN the state was so
enthusiastic that when the cradle In
his place was opened and the money
counted he asked how much IL lacked
of being the highest amount collected
and how bis collections compared
with those of mis- competitor near by.
Upon being informed that saloon
around the corner had yielded more,
he went down into his pocket and not
only made up the difference, but add
ed q dollar to make his the best pay
ing cradle in the city.
Mr.. Sehon is we'll known in Padu-
cab and often comes here. Paduoah
has long been a good town for contri-
buttons, and many Of the cradles have
been left here.

A new CURE.
CHICAGO MAN SAYS HE DAN
CURE LOCKJAw.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. ia cure for
lock Jaw has been discovered and sue
tested here by DR.. 8. A.
Mathews of the University Of Chica-
go. George Newman, Of 97l6 Ex-
change avenue, was the patient and
the cure WAS affected while he was in
the midst Of the most violent tetanus
spasms. The Newman boy caught his
toe IN the chain Of q bicycle and teta-
nus set in. Nine of the best physi-
clans in Chicago treated the lad, but
he steadily grew worse. The spasms
began last Tuesday and DR.. Mathews
was called. For months DR.. Mathews
a former student under Prof. Loeb, has
been working in the physiological lab
ratory of the university, where he is
an instructor in pharmaceulogy. He
has already succeeded in animals and
was waiting for chance to try it on
a human. An intreyenous injection
of salts was made in the lower arm.
Little improvement was seen and the
boys pulse was l44. Other injectiors
were given Wednesday and Thursday
nights. The pulse went down and he
began to improve. He Is now almost
we'll and the scientific department of
the university is rejoicing over the
successful test.

HEINZE GETS DECISION.
Wins Every Point in the Nipper Mine
leQislation.

Ic9iSidtiOH.
Butte, Mont, Aug. 31.-Judge Clancy,
in the district court, today rendered
the most important mining decision
of the year, in which he granted point
by point all asked by the plaintiffs, F..
Augustus HeinZe ct AL, in the suit
against the Washoe Copper company
and the Anaconda Copper company on
the Nipper mine. The suit involves
ore bodies under the surfaces of the
Oden and other claims owned by the
defendants. Heinze claimed to own
the ore bodies on the ground that they
were extra-lateral portions of the Nip
per vein. The plaintiffs alleged at the
trial that the Nipper discovery vein
crossed ne Nipper claim east and west
and crossed both end lines, and that
1t dipped south through the south
lines, the ore bodies sued for being
portions of the vein to the south
The defendants denied that there
was any Nipper vein at all in the Nip
per mining claim, and at the trial put
IN evidence to show that the only vein
in the Nipper claim was the Blue X
fault tissue, and that it crossed the
claim northeast and southwest. They
therefore denied that the plaintiffs had
any extra-lateral rights or had any
claim to the ore bodies involved.
Judge Clancy in his decision adopt
ed all of the findings of fact and con-
clusions of law presented by the plain
tiffs. and refused to adopt any or the
findings or conclusions of the defend
ants. The suit involved mining prop
erty to the value of $4,000 900. Elk
ceptions to the judgment of the court
were taken by the defendants and the
case will be appealed to the supreme
court.
Judge Clancy today, in the suit of
the Montana Ore Purchasing and
Johnstown Mining companies against
the Boston & Montana company, grant
ed an Injunction restraining the latter
company from entering any of the
workings of the Johnstown mines
pending litigation. 1t was alleged by
the Heinze corporation that the ore
bodies of the mine in question were be-
ing invaded.

Rich Discovery Reported From Cape
Lisburne.

Seattle, Aug. 31-vast coal discov-
cries have been made at Cape Lis
burne, on the Arctic, according to
Nome mail advices received yesterday.
The story of the find and the expert
ences of the six discoveries are akin
to romantic.
James Lachie was the head of the
expedition. The six men, including
William McGregor and William Starr,
both we'll known in Nome, were left
at Cape Lisburne and established
camp there last fall. Cape Lisburne
is about 300 miles from Nome across
Kotzebue sound. They were left with
plenty of provisions in fine log cabin,
with plenty of coal at their doors, with
the promise that the officers would re-
turn on the first boat in the spring.
Through all the long winter months
they worked drilling, picking, digging
their way through the tundra into the
side of the cliffs. One vein of coal
was uncovered-a seven-foot seam
over 335 feet in length. Another tun-
mel through from the surface extends
into the side of the cliff over 100 feet
The men are unable to say anything
about the depth, but are sure that
there is coal enough to supply all
Alaska for the next ten centuries. For
eleven months they worked and tun-
neled, looking for the promised relief
in the spring.
For some reason the officers did not
show up and the supply of provisions
ran short. After trying to flag many
different boats the men succeeded in
getting the whaler Morning Star to
stop and exchange provisions for COAL
When the Thetis went by on her way
to Point Barrow they tried to flag her,
but the officers mistook them for ma
tives and proceeded on their way
north. The men knew that she must
return some time. so they loaded their
dory with water and provisions and
worked their way to Point Hope. The
men saw their plans carried out for
two days later the Thetis returned and
they were able to get aboard and to
Nome.
The men were comfortably housed
and provisioned all winter The wealth
er was often severe and the snow very
deep, but they had fine log cabin,
with plenty of coal and provisions and
so did not suffer. 1t was only when
their provisions ran short and they
feared famine that they became
alarmed.
