THE SUNKEN BARGE or 1871.


Now and then some unwritten de.

the American Republic comes Curl
ously to the surface. I'm 50 years
DID," said a tall, gray-bearded Ken
tuckian, and every few years, while
l lived near Owensboro, Ky, q wreck
ing party would come along, hunting
that old barge Of lead in the Ohio
River.
I'm 1911 a band of men were cor
delling up the river, all the way from
the lead mines In Missouri, q barge
loaded with lead ore. No steam pow
er was known In those days; and all
big boats had to be pulled up stream
by cordelle or rope, the men strug-
Cling along the edge OF the river
through the almost impossible under
brush. The barge Of lead was des-
tined for Louisville, KY. there to be
nodded into bullets with which to fight
the British in the war which seemed
inevitable.
Near Owensboro, KY, a big wind

over the barge and sank il. 1t has
never been seen or heard OF since, al
though innumerable efforts have been
made to locate it and recover its ear
go. Divers, singly and in companies,
government officials and independent
wrecking parties have explored the
Ohio River without avail. Whenever
a strange man or men would appear
in that part of Kentucky and ask to
be directed to the Oldest gray-haired
man in the country, 1t would make
people laugh. We always knew they
were seeking information concerning
the old 1911 barge of lead. The lat
est attempt, / believe, was made in
1865.
Soon after the barge sank earth.
quakes in the West and South were
frequent, and it is believed by many
persons that the barge and cargo were
buried deep in the river-bed during
n of these violent commissions"

BLOOD WILL Tell
A THEORY SUPPORTED BY FRESH,
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE

A Recent Instance Proves That woman's
Happiness Is Largely Dependent on tho
State of Her Blood.
When the blood is disordered every
organ of the body is affected ~unfavorably
and fails to discharge its functions
properly. In the case of every woman
nature has made special provision for a
periodical publication of the blood and
so long as this occurs her health and
spirits unfailingly reveal the beneficial
results. So slight a cause as a cold or q
nervous shock may produce a suppress
sion of this vital function and until it is
restored she is doomed to misery. The
remedy that has proved most prompt
and effective in all disorders peculiar to
the female sex, is that which brought
such great relief to Miss Matte Griggs,
Of No. S07 Indiana street, Lawrence,
Kansas, concerning which she speaks as
follows:
"In the winter Of 1902, from some
unknown cause, there was a cessation
of functions peculiar to my sex for a pc
Tiod of four months. / became very
weak and could not get up stairs with
out help. l had nausea and pain and q
| constant headache. I was under the
care of a physician for three months,
but he did not succeed in curing me.
Then a lady friend told me about the
merits of DR.. Williams Pink Pills which
she had used in her family and she in
duceu me to try them. 1t was in May
when l first began to use them and in
June l had fully recovered my health,
and have since remained perfectly
we'll"
In ali cases of delayed development of
| young girls in an@mia or weakness due
to impoverished blood and showing it
self i'll pallor, lack of ambition, despond-
ency and nervousness ; also in the great
constitutional disturbances attending
the period known as the change of life,
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable
Tor women, whose health is always
closely dependent on the state of the
blood. They are sold by all drug
gists. A booklet of valuable informa-
zion, relating to the, care of a woman's
health at all important periods, and en-.
titled "Plain Talks to Women" will be
sent free in a sealed envelope to any one
who chooses to write for it to the DIR.

Talk on Advertising by c. w Post to Pub

In his address to Publishers ut the
Battle Greek banquet Mr. Post likened
the growth of a modern commercial
enterprise to the growth Of an apple

water are needed, but the tree will not
bear apples without sunshine.
The sunshine to the commercial
plant is publicity secured by advertis-

William Collin Whitney.

A great American died when William
c.. Whitney was gathered unto his faith
ers. In his passing from the scene Of
action gap is made in the ranks that
will not soon be filled. Although in
the possession of enormous wealth, he
was as simple in his daily walk as a
poor, unpretentious citizen. BY nature
he was an aristocrat, but throughout
his years he cultivated tastes and form
cd habits that pressed his democratic
tendencies forward, and every one re-
spected him the more for it. His claim
on posterity rests on his achievements
as statesman. He it was who made
it possible for Cleveland to be nominal.
ed in 1884, and that great democrat re-
warded him with portfolio in his cab
met. 1t was with reluctance that he
accepted this post, but future events
showed the wisdom of Cleveland's Sc
lection, As secretary of the navy Mr..
Whitney did q work which the republi-
cans have tried to gain the credit for.
Our ships were old and our navy badly
organized. Mr.. Whitney injected new
life into it, built new ships and became
the author of the present navy.
The democratic party owed much to
Mr.. Whitney, and if it had made him
president the obligation would still be
unpaid. His entrance into politics was
due to sense of the duty that every
citizen owes to his country. He cared
nothing for Office. He sought none.
His was a pure devotion to party for
principles sake. A disciple of Tilden,
he believed in his faith, and he derived
that faith from close study of the
constitution and the construction of it
found in the writings of Jefferson, Mad
ison, Jackson, Van Buren,, Calhoun ard
other democratic statesmen. In the
battles of his party he was always to be
found in the front rank until the cam
paign of 1896, when he retired, thor
oughly disguised.
He will be remembered also for what
he has done for the turf. In every
sense he was the greatest horseman in
America, and to him more than to al
others are we indebted for cleaner rae
ing in the east, which has benefited the
whole country. His stud is one of the
finest in Kentucky, and his string o.
horses among the best. He raced from
pure love of the sport, and every yeal
lost thousands of dollars. Commercial
Appeal.
