produced by the AL G. Field Greater
MInstrels and will consist of Mill
tary Review of the country's history
1t is called by AL G.. Field "While
Old Glory Waves" and consists OF
a series of magnificent tableaus rep
resenting the principal martial
events in all the wars in which the
American volunteer has partici-
pated. These spectacles are accom-
panied by patriotic songs and the
last tableau is a tribute to "Old
Glory. and includes a drill of rough
riders and the review of the soldiers
of all the various wars in the uni
forms they wore at the time. So
massive is this feature that Mr.. Field

II is announced in a Washing
ton dispatch that President
Roosevelt has ordered. an imme.
date investigation of the Stan
dard Oil Company to determine
whether it is an illegal combina-
tion in restraint of trade. The
investigation is to be thorough
and the President hopes to pros
ecute it, to a finish before his
term expires. 1t is said that he
has determined that the Standard
Oil monopoly shall be broken,
and that the investigation would
have been begun last summer
had he not feared his action
would be criticised as prompted
by political motives.

In 1900 President Mckinley
received 292 electoral votes; Mr..
William Jennings Bryan, 155.
McKinley's popular plurality was
100000. This year President
Roosevelt will receive 1886 cleo
toral votes; Judge Parker, 40.
In Maryland seven votes go to
Parker and one to Roosevelt.
Roosevelt's plurality will
be about 100000. This has
made such a deep impression on
the public mind that the New
York American says: ''If the
Fillpinos had voted, it might
have been worse" and the
Washington Star rises to an
nounce that 'Mr. Bryan is big
ger man than ever in a party
that is smaller than ever"

exact accuracy in publication of
official election returns, and
strange as it may seem, has Of
ten been the only paper in the
county to publish the election
returns accurately. In addition
to being alone in the fields of
accuracy this year, THE BEE pre-
sents some very interesting COM
parsons with the vote in the
gubernatorial election of 1908.
These comparisons are made by
precincts in the majorities and
in the total vote cast by the Re-
publicans and the Democrats in
these two elections. In our is

nation in tabulated form, so

SMALLPOX

The State Board of Health has
issued a warning against small
pox in which it is announced
that cases of the disease are
being reported in widely sepa-
rated sections in many counties
throughout the State, and of
ficials and citizens are urged to
take the promptest means to pre-
vent an epidemic. Startling
facts are stated in the first para
graph Of this address, as follows {:
Since January, 1898, smallpox has
prevailed, more or less extensively,
in every county in Kentucky, with
a total of over $4,000 cases and 300
deaths, and costing in cash more
than one-half million dollars, be-
sides an estimated loss from inter-
ference with business and travel of
something over one and one-half
million dollars. Properly expended.
this sum would have been more than
enough to have guarded the health
interests of our people for a genera
ton, besides keeping every resident
of the State vaccinated so that the
existence of anything but an i'm
ported case of smallpox would have
been impossible.
Vaccination and re-vaccina-
ton is urged, together with the
immediate isolation of suspects.
1t is stated that grown people
never have chicken-pOx and that
there are no such diseases as
elephant itch, "African itch, ,"
''army itch," "cedar itch," or
"Cuban itch," but that these are
merely vulgar names for mild
varieties of smallpox. The use
of humanized virus is recon-
mended, especially in country
districts where the family ply
stefan can select it himself from
the arms of healthy children and
young girls y 1t is "more GER
tain to take, causes less soreness,
and is believed to give better
and longer protection"
Just now Hopkins County is
in good shape in this connection.
The disease has been looked af-
ter carefully and Kept under
good control for several years
past in Burlington, Madisonville
and the other county towns. Our
county and city health boards are
active and well equipped. An
occasional imported case has
shown up in the county during
the past few months but they
have been promptly looked after.
This is not the case everywhere.
In Christian county the disease
has been active for some time
and cases originating there have
turned up IN Hopkins and Hen
derson counties and probably
elsewhere. Under recent threat
of quarantine, made by the State
health board, compulsory vac
has been ordered at
Hopkinsville and throughout
christian county and the author
itles there are now actively en-
gagged in an effort to stop the
and control the disease.
There is but one safeguard
against smallpox, vaccination;
and that is positive and safe. We
endorse what the State Board
says:
Every person in the State who has
not already been vaccinated should
do SO at once, and the ignorant or
negligent should be compelled to
protect themselves, for the benefit
of their communities, by the proper
authorities.

THE STENOGRAPHERs' CLUB

The Stenographers' club held its regu- lar meeting at the Wheeler Bus hess college rooms last Thursday night Ing meeting.
 A very interesting paper was read by Miss Nary Sanford on Our Club, How Can We Help It?'' The paper was thor oughly discussed in all it's phases by va- rious members of the club.
 An item of much interest was the read. ing of paper by Mrs. Goulding, which she prepared while waiting in town . from the time she left her office till time for the club to meet representing what she saw during that time. The paper was entitled Seen In an Hour"
 The president presented for the con ; Bideraton of the club and the member ship committee the name of Prof. A. M. Bruce of the Massey Business college for membership.
 It was thought advisable for the cluD to meet semi monthly instead of weekly from now until October on account of the warm weather and the large number of The meetings will be held on the first and third Thursday nights of each month. The next meeting will be August f.
 The members of the club seem very much encouraged over the work done so far and feel sure that the organization will be the pride of a large number of members as soon as the weather becomes cooler and all the stenosraphers return to their regular work after the summer vacation.

COURT HOUSE WILL
 NOT BE ENLARGED
BOARD OF REVENUE DROPS MAT TER FOR THE PREsENT-sU- PREME COURT DECISION ON CONSOLIDATION THE CAUSE.

Owing to the decision of the supreme court in regard to the consolidation of courts, the question of the enlargement of the county court house has been drop ped by the board of revenue. There Is no need now, it is said, for & larger building. The present structure will be greatly improved, however, and possibly a small annex will be erected for the accommodation of jurors. It points out that the hotel bills of the juries are very large, and that if the annex were built 1t would pay for itself in a short while.
 It was stated by member of the board yesterday that new floors would probably be laid, as the old tiling is broken in many places. The walls will be re-calci- mined and the woodwork polished. An elevator Is also a probability. It has been suggested that an electric plant be installed If this were done, the build ing could probably be heated and the elevator run at less expense, but 1t is not thought that the idea has the sup port of a majority of the board.

 During the past week there has been very satisfactory business. Furnaces having iron to sell on basis of 8 Birming- ham for No. foundry have sold all they care to dispose of at that figure. Prices are decidedly more firm than for some time on basis of $50 for No 2 foundry Birmingham brands and s9.25 Birmlng- ham basis for northern Alabama and some Tennessee brands. 1t is reported that one of the largest interests in the south has withdrawn from the market for the present. While price of s12 fur naces for No. 2 foundry Ohio irons has been shaded. yet there Is disposition on the part of some furnace men to let orders on lower basis go to the anxious sellers
 There is a fair demand for coke at rul- ing prices. The coke makers have beer closing down their oven at rapid rate lately.

The Haynes and Redmond company pleased another large audience at the East Lake Casino last night. The com pany is introducing a number of special ties to close their engagement that are meeting with favor.

 Sham Battle.
 Two full companies, picked from the twelve companies of the Second regiment went on an extended drill and slSirmish yesterday afternoon and ended in a sham battle. They were known as the brown and the blue companies, and the former was decided the victor.
 ' First the blues were sent out from camp to go where they pleased, and then the browns were sent out ot find them as if they were the enemy. They met about half mile from the encampment and the sham battle took place. The schooling for the soldiers from this experience was excel lent. The system of instructions used here is the same as that now in vogue at the United States training school at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. 1t has a touch of the real, and the training given the men at this encampment may come in to good advantage some day The browns were commanded by Lieutenant White of Com n ( 1.a hxr Cfar fnf, White of Company A.
