A Huge Log Weighing 10000 Pound,

The Glasgow Times says that a
man recently travelled through
Barren county selling soap. He
gave a case of a hundred cakes
for So in cash, and a promise that
in a few days he would call and
bring you a nice carpet of forty
yards, nice set of chinaware or
a nice sideboard, and the women
bit as we'll as some of the men,
and he took in lots of So, and
now it is assumed he is hunting
more suckers, for suckers will

around selling cases of medicine
of various kinds, SC you could be

was the price and many were
taken in by the stranger, and the

KENTUCKY
EDITORS,
Who Are Attending Worlds Press
Parliament at st. Louis, Will
Return June ID
AND BE ENTERTAINED AT
WOMANS MAGAZINE BUILDING

A special from st. Louis to the
Courier-Journal says Kentucky
is represented at the Worlds
Press Parliament by the follow
ing Kentucky editors: Paul M,
Moore, darlington Bee; @. M.
Meacham, Hopkinsvilie Kentuc-
khan; w. Q. Adams, Greensboro
Inquirer; W. Fl. Jones, Glasgow
Republican; NJ. F. Coney, Louisa
News; Lew Brown, Harrodsburg
Democrat; John q. Craddock,
Paris Kentuckian; j. j. Glenn,
Madisonville Graphic; Loving
Gaines, Elkton Progress; Heber
Matthews, Hartford Herald, and
E. A. Gullion, New Castle Local.
Several of these gentlemen are
accompanied by their wives, and
will be present at the informal
reception given the delegates to
the Press Parliament and the
members of the National Editor
ial Association in the Kentucky
building Wednesday afternoon
from 3 to 5 O'Clock.
Mr.. Moore, who is president of
the Kentucky Press Association,
said today that every Kentucky
editor was figuring on coming to
the Worlds Fair for Kentucky
day, Wednesday, June 10. The
business meeting of the associa-
ton Will be held in Louisville on
Monday, June ID, on the night
of which the entire party will
leave via the Henderson Route
on special train for st. Louis.
Tuesday will be devoted to get
ting located and partly seeing
the fair. On that afternoon the
party will be entertained at the
Woman's Magazine building, a
courtesy extended through the
influence of Miss Ida May Adams,
formerly of Kentucky, who is on
the editorial staff of this maya
zine.
The editors are having a good

Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana and
Kentucky than any other geolo-
gist, and ranks high among the
geologists of the country.
This is a good beginning and
will in time yield good fruit.
The small appropriation at the
command of the director limits
his force and will not admit of a
study of all the branches of the
subject from the start, but grad
ually it is expected to cover the
whole field. The next assign
ment will be In the matter of
coal, which, however, was so
thoroughly explored by the old
survey as not to need immediate
attention as much as the other
branches which have already
been organized.
One very desirable end is that
the work of the survey should
enlist the sympathy and interest
of every intelligent mind in the
State, and should engage the CO.
operation of all who wish to see
Kentucky develop in proportion
to her valuable geological re-
sources. Especially should it
commend itself to the higher
schools and colleges of the State.
An erroneous impression seems
to have gotten out that the sur
vey would be controlled by State
College, and the work depends
chiefly upon its professors and
students. This does equal in
justice to the survey and the col
lege. All the collegiate institu-
tions of the State should under
stand that the survey wishes to
have their cooperation, and that
it is not being operated as an
adjunct of any one college, but
that in every way in which OPP
portunity is offered 1T is the de-
sire of the director that all share
its benefits alike.

A New Game and How to Play II.

A new game has been recently
introduced 10 good society. The
following are directions how it.
should be played:
Take an ordinary envelope and
a piece of writing paper upon
which is written your name and
address. Tear out of your check
book bank note upon which in
scribe figures sufficiently large to
pay up all arrearages and one
year in advance. Hand or mail
this little package to the editor,
and if he smiles the trick is
played. The game is easy and
anybody can play it successfully.
Instead of the bank note, a post
Office money order or currency Of
the land will do just as WELL.
Every time you play the game
successfully, you win a point,
which is counted in your favor in
a little book kept by your oppo-
nent. e0a 3
The game can be played at any
time by anybody. Spring and
summer weather is said to con-
duce wonderfully to its success.
There is no patent on it. Sup
pose you try 1T, just for fun.

Cut Il Short.

Be brief, says the Farm and
Fireside. Long visits, long sto-
ries, long essays, long exhorta-
tions and long prayers seldom
profit those who nave to do with
them. Life is short. Time is
short. Moments are precious.
Learn to condense, abridge and
intensity. We can bear things
that are dull if they are only
short. We can endure many an
ache and i'll if it is over soon,
while even pleasure grows insip-
id and pain intolerable, if they
are only contracted beyond the
limits of reason and convenience.
Learn to be short. Lop off the
branches; stick to the main facts
in your case. If YOU pray, ask
for what you believe you will re-
ceive and get through; if you
speak, tell your message, and
hold your peace; if you write,
boil down two sentences into one
and three words into two.

FREE TRIP TO THE WORLDS FAIR.

a special from Wheatcroft,
KY, to the Courier Journal says /:
The coal mines at Wheatcroft,
after having been closed down
about two months, have now re-
sumed operations with nonunion
men. These mines have been in
operation about two years, and
the Miners Union had gradually
worked its men into the mines
until they were thoroughly or
ganized. The union and the OPP
orators had several disagreements
and the mines were closed sever
al times last year, on account of
the company's discharging union
men, which the union claimed it
had no right to do.
Two months ago the company
gave notice that it would close
down its mines indefinitely, and
every man was paid up and dis
charged, and most of them left
town. About a week ago the
company secured about thirty
white nonunion miners from Sc
bree and Darlington, and organ
lied them into an association,
known as the Wheatcroft Miners
Association. The company en-
tered into contract with each
of these miners, which provides
that whatever is the scale fol-
pick miners in Western Ken
lucky during the next five years,
the company will pay these men
Ii percent in excess of any union
scale which may be established.
1t further agrees to put aside a
certain percent of its profits and
to divide the same among the
members of the association, in
the way of a cash bonus. This is
in addition to their wages. The
members of the association have
no dues nor assessments to pay,
of any nature. The members OF
the association are to elect their
own check weighman and elect a
board of trustees to manage the
affairs of the association. Nine
hours per day constitute day's
work, the company reserving the
right, at any time, to work ten
hours. Only nonunion men Of
good character, who can give
good references, are admitted as
members of the association.
The company further agree that
every member of the association
who gives satisfaction In his
work will be taken by the coal
company on a free excursion ia
the Worlds Fair at St. Louis
some time during the contlnu-
ance of the exposition, and en-
tirely free of expense to the men.
Since the mines have resumed
operation with these non-union
men interference has been antic-
ipated from the union men left
at Wheatcroft, together with the
union men at Sturgis and De-
Koven. The company has a large
force of Deputy Sheriffs and
guards on duty day and nights
On Thursday and S a tn d a y
nights of last week, it was re-
ported that 500 men were CON-
ing from Sturgis and DeKoven
to run the non-union men out of
the town, and almost every un-
ion man took his wife and FAM
lily out of the town on those
nights. The company had large
number of Deputy Sheriffs sworn
in, and armed every man in its
employ, and had the men come,
there certainly would have been

GEOLOGICAL
SURVEY.
Prof. c. J. Norwood, Director Of
the State Geological Survey,
Announces His Ar.
ransements
HAVE BEEN COMPLETED,

announces that he has completed
the organization of his corps of
assistants and entered upon the
work contemplated by the act of
the Legislature reviving the bu-
reau, says the Courier Journal.
His assistant, Mr.. j. B. Hoeing,
long topographer of the survey
under Prof. Proctor, and for
some time later one of his most
effective assistants in geological
field work, will have special
charge of the study of the oil dis
tricts, his work in the old survey
having been in the same line.
This statement is made authori-
tatively to prevent confusion
likely to arise from an incor-
rect announcement that this
work had been assigned to Prof.
Arthur Miller, another assistant.
In the prosecution of his work
Mr.. Hoeing will inspect the wells
bored in various portions of the
State, and will desire to obtain
all available records of the bor-
ings, as to depth at which oil was
obtained and the geological char
acter of the rocks penetrated.
For this reason it is desirable
that the managers of the various
companies engaged in such work
should be apprised of his official
assignment, and furnish him all
information in their possession.
In turn he will be able to render
them valuable aid in prospecting
for oil, from his knowledge of
the underlying rocks and of the
possibility of success in any de-
fined region. By such co-opera-
ton many thousands of dollars
will be saved to prospectors by
his better knowledge of the sub
ject and by the practical advice
he can give them.
Prof. Arthur Miller, first as
sistant to the director, has charge
of the areal geology of the Gen.
trail Kentucky lead, zinc and
spar district. He is specially
well fitted for this work from his
close study and knowledge of the
lower silurian formation of Ken
lucky, in which these minerals
are found. During the existence
of the old survey but slight evil
dence of the existence of these
substances had been found, ex-
cept as to lead, which had not
proved sufficiently abundant to
give promise of being CONNER
cially valuable. Later indica-
tions have been found of the ex-
istence of lead, zinc and spar,
and warrant the belief that prop.
er investigation will produce val
liable results.
To Prof. Aug. F. Foerste has
been assigned the study of the
upper silurian and Devonian
clays and shales. This is field
in which Kentucky is just now
interested and upon which there
is needed information, as among
other valuable deposits found in
those formations are the clays
adapted for making Portland &C.
ment, vitrified brick, pottery and
for other uses. They embrace
also iron ores, such as are found
In Bath county, and large de-
posts of the Devonian black
shale, found about Louisville and
in large areas in various por-
tions of the State from 70 to 150
feet thick, which is coming to be
regarded as of great future value
in the production of oil, gas,
vitrified brick and other utilities.
Prof. Foerste has given more at
tention to those formations in
