ROYAL
BAKING POWDER
ABSOLUTELY PURE

lag a number Of questions were asked
by some OF his audience. The most
import ant was, How can a man hold
his tobacco fer better price when he
is not able to do sou In answer, Mr..
Everett said that the movement pro-
posed by the So,Iety might not WORK
out perfectly right at first, because
the days of miracles is past. He
said he expected a few farmers will
have to deliver their crop at once
But there are many who Will not have
to sell at once and these will make n
better market. eventually, for those
who can't hold at all. In a short
time, as will he readily seen, all will
be able to hold their crops until the
proper time to market them.
To Whom Credit Is Due.
To Messrs. T. E. McGavCCK and E.
b. Oglesby, local A. S. of E. enthusi.
asts and organizers, is credit due
for Mr.. Everett visit to this oi ty.
Mr.. Everett had appointments to
speak at Morganfeld Dixon. Hender.
son and Owensboro only. When Mr..
Oglesby heard that Mr.. Everett was
to be at the above cities, he wrote a
letter at once to Mr.. Everett and
urgently requested hum to SPEAK in
this city or at Hardinsburg while on
his present trip. On last Friday after
noon Mr.. McGavock went to Ovens
boro and, in person, added his request
to that of Mr.. Oglesby. He persisted
in his efforts until he made MIR.
Everett believe it was his duty tocome
this city. After Mr.. Everett spoke
at Owensboro Friday afternoon he
was accompanied by Mr. McGavock to
this city ON the accommodate q
train. While in the city he was the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Oglesby,
He left for his home at Indianapolis
on Sunday morning.

other kinds of legitimate business,
and that the Society Is aptagonistic
to none. 1t Will help to maintain the
integrity of the bankers investment 5
it will enable the physician
to collect better fees ana more readily

said Mr.. Everett, will help the far

derstand the movement
Mr.. Everett said that the farmers
should not depend too much on Con-
gress for relief, at present; but should
give their attention to organizing un-
til they had a million members,
when Congress should be compelled to
listen to their demands and they could
get anything they wanted, by reason
of their great power.
Mr. Everett spoke briefly but in
sensible way about independent or
CARNATIONS of tobacco growers, which
have sprung up ali over the State in
the past few weeks 1t is a piece of
folly, he said, to form such organiza
tions even if they cover the whole
State, unless they join the national
union. He said that the independent
tobacco growers organization is
much less powerful than the national
union and for this gave two reasons.
The independent organization is
working for profitable p ice on to-
bscco alone In Kentucky. In this,
there is danger of neglect ng other
crops and overriding one crop. The
national organization IS working for
profitable crops and will not overdue
any one of them. Again. the tobacco
growers In the national organization,
when seeking legislation in their be-
half, are more powerful than an in
dependent organization of tobacco
growers

Fist Fight at HawesviIIe.

At the Republican convention al
Hawesville Saturday about five blow:
were exchanged between N. B.
Chambers, one of Franks revenue
men, and E. G. Vance, the former
being considerably worsted, although
Vance bled considerably. In answer
to a strong speech by Mr.. Vance
against the 'gumshoe" tactics of the
revenue men, Chambers charged that
Vance was turned out of the postoffice
for forging an order. Vance resented
the assertion and the two men rushed
together.

REPUBLICANS HOLD A
LIVELY CONVENTION.

Mr.. Ball was on his feet in an in
slant and raised the point of order
that the resolution was out of order.
that it should have to be placed be-
fore the committee on resolutions and
acted on by them. This brought on
lively debate. Those speaking fol
the resolution were A. r. Klncheloe,
DR.. Rodgers, Hon. R. M. Jolly and
Judge VIM. Ali. Those opposed were
Mr.. Ball, Mr.. Royalty and several
others. The chair put the vote on the
resolution and it was lost.
Those opposed to the resolution said
they had no objection to Mr.. Yerkes,
but it was the crowd that was trying
TO boost him and carry everything
by storm. In other words, Mr..
Royalty said that the party in this
county were getting tired of being
ruled by the revenue gang
1t was pretty warm convention in
the way of words. After the fight
was over they all shook hands and
held love feast over Roosevelt.

HEALTH
is the
Most Important

In buying food-products, several things
are to be thought of. e., Economy,
Results, Easy Handling, Reliability, but
the most important is Health.
Health means everything. In buying
clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc., if the
buyer is deceived and gets an imitation
the only harm is loss Of money. In buy
ing food -products, if limitations are sup
piled, there is not on ly loss of money,
but perhaps an injury to health which
is beyond price.

| st. Marks Church and through the
| stricken district have been touching in
the extreme.
AS fast as the bodies were recovered
they were inspected by Coroner O'Gor'
man on the beach of North Brother
Island. Their watches and jewelry
and other effects were sealed, num-
bered and preserved for relatives and
friends. Then the corpses were placed
in the rough pine collins and sent to
the Morgue to await Identification.

every description. and a large amount
of money altogether. My estimate Of
the value of the watches and rings
and jewelry is S150,0O0. The dead
were people in comfortable circum-
stances, and many Of the women wore
diamond earrings and diamond rings
of great value. Some of them had
big rolls of bills in their clothing.
Many wore bags under their corsets

has been placed in bags with tags
corresponding with the number of the
tags on the bodies. I don't think
there will be great difficulty in rela-
tives claiming and securing this prop
erty at the proper time"
Almost as appalling as the spectacle
of the burning and drowning of the
hundreds of women and children was
the grief of the thousands of relatives
of the dead who thrOnged the Morgue
in the pitiful search for the loved ones
who had gone away from home smil-
ing and happy in the belief that they
were to have a pleasant days outing.
These poor distracted people were as
helpless as babes in their grief. They
wandered about dazed-like people in
a dream. There were little children
bereft of both Parents and sisters and
brothers. There were fathers and
mothers who had been rendered child
less. Their were fathers, and these
were in the greater number, who had
lost wives and children. In some terri

One of the most frightful scenes on
the burning steamboat General Slocum

women, huddled for safety on the star

the tug. One arm was terribly bit

soon as the convention had been called
to order by Chairman Cannon, and
prayer had been made by the Rev.
Thaddeus E. Snively, former Govern
or Black, of New York, placed Theo-
dore Roosevelt in nomination for Pres
1dent. When he finished the Dands
played and the delegates cheered, and
then Senator Beverage, OF Indiana,
was recognized to second the nomina-
ton.
The Indiana Senator devoted twen-
ty minutes to telling what the Repub-
lican party is, and what Theodore
Roosevelt has proved him:elf to be.
Four other short seconding speeches
were made by George A. Knight, OF
California; H-rry Stilweli Edwards, OF
Georgia; Joseph B. Cotton, Of Mime
sofa, and Harry S. Cummings, of
Maryland. and then it was moved that
Roosevelt be nominated by acclama-
ton.
After the demonstration and ap-
plause, the following program vas car
ried out:
Announcement by the chairman Of
the commit e to rotify President
Roosevelt.
Nominations for yice-President.

applause. On motion Of Senator Gull
lom the report was adopted.
Chairman Root appointed eX-Secre-
tary John D. Long, Senator Cullom and
Representative Burton, Of Ohio, 4 COM
mittee to escort Speaker Cannon to the
platform. Upon this announcement
the convention gave a mighty, sponta-
neous shout, and when Mr.. Cannon ap.
peared at the Speakers desk and
Chairman Root took him by the hand
and led him forward to the extreme
front of the platform. the climax OF
enthusiasm was reached. Delegates
with n accord jumped to their feet
and on to their chairs. Cheer after
cheer went up, and wave Of sound
swept oyer the throng. The applause
continued as the temporary and per
manent chairmen continued to stand
arm in arm waiting for silence.
Throughout his address Mr.. Cannon
was interrupted from time to time by
applause and when he had finished the
longest period of cheering that the con.
vention has yet seen zane. For forty
seconds the delegates applauded and
then resumed their silence. A.,
General Bingham was then called on
for the report of the Committee on
Rules and the order of business. The
report, which provided for the same al
lotments of delegates that the National
Committee had made. with the e6cep-
ton of Hawaii, was adopted.
This having been disposed of, the
Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, Junior Sena-
tor from the State of Massachusetts,
made his way to the front of the plat
form from his seat in the body of the
hall to read the platform. He bowed
to the delegates and then began to read
the platform. The first applause came
when the Panama Canal was NEIL
toned. The tariff plank was applaud
ed in all parts of the hall, reyisers and
'stand-patters" alike appearing to be
perfectly satisfied with it. The de-
mand for a reduction of representation
in the House of Representatives for
those States in which the suffrage is
denied to certain classes of citizens
was %applauded mildly. The common
dation of President R%oosevelt's action
in the coal strike of 1902 got a hand.
and then the whole platform received
a complimentary send-off as Senator
Lodge moved it's adoption. 1t was
adopted unanimously.
The applause for the platform lasted
ten seconds. Then the convention adj
journed until 10 o'clock next morning.

tons for $50 working newspaper men,

The crowd was seated without dis
turbance or friction. S~ergeant-at-
Arms William F. Stone and Assistant
Sergeant-at-Arms David G. Owen had
at their beck and call several hundred
deputies appointed from lists made up
by the members Of the National Com
mittee. Thirty uniformed policemen
were stationed inside the hall. and
seventy preserved order outside the
building.
There was loud handclapping when
Chairman Payne'called the convention
to order at 1915 o'clock. Mr.. Payne
made no speech and Immediately intro
duced the Rev. Timothy P. Frost, who
opened the proceedings with prayer.
The prayer ended at 1920.
AS soon as the prayer ended Senator
Scott, of West Virginia, presented to
Chairman Payne a gavel, a gift of

who has a far-reaching voice. then
read the official call for the convention.
When he read the name Of the late
Senator Hanna at the end Of the call
there was applause.
At 1890 Chairman Payne nominated
the Hon. Elihu Root for temporary
chairman. Governor Odell moved that
the action of the National Committee
be approved by the convention. This
was carried with a whoop, and at 1885
Mr.. Root was introduced. He was re-
ceived with genuine applause.
While Temporary Chairman Root
was waiting for the applause to sub
side a three-quarter length portrait of
President Roosevelt was carried to the
platform and placed on an easel. 1t
was carried away, however, before Mr..
Root began speaking. For forty-fve
minutes he held the convention in an
address which will be the keynote to
the campaign of 1904. His address
was a review of the accomplishments
of the present Administration and a
defense of Republican policies in gen.
eral. When that had been delivered
and the various working committees
despatched to their labors the business
of the first days session was complete.

the single hour following the discov-
cry Of fire in the pleasure steamboat,
which was carrying Pastor Haas st.
Marks Lutheran congregation on Its
annual picnic excursion, more Amer
lean lives were lost than during the
Spanish-American War.
Two days after the disaster Police
Inspector 'Albertson, who is supervis-
ing the work of recovering bodies,
said: 1.-The $50 bodies found repre-
sent only half the number of dead. 1t
will be days before the sunken Slo-
cum gives up all its dead and for
weeks bodies will be washed ashore
down the East River and up the
Sound"
The difficulty Of estimating the num-
Der the dead is increased by the uncer-
tainty as to the number of persons
who were on the General Slocum
when she left the pier and steamed
up the East River on her fatal trip.
No one knows how many dead are
still at the bottom Of the river off the
island. or how many burned and black
ened' corpses lie in the hull. Coroner
O'GOrman thinks that at least 200
more will be found. The Coroner said
that Diver John Rice and the men
who worked with him at Hunts Point
believe that there are scores caught
in the debris of the burned steamer.
These it may be impossible to remove
until the wreckers get to work and
tear the Slocum apart. At any rate,
it will be a week, perhaps longer, be-
fore all the dead will be found. Some,
so the divers and grapplers of the river
say, will never be recovered. Carried
out to sea-. or held fast at the bottom
Of the river or utterly destroyed in
the fire are scores, these men think,
Other divers exploring the river bed
along the track covered by the burn
ing steamer say there are heaps OF
bodies still beneath the water.
In all the history Of disaster where
human life has been sacrificed no wall
of lamentation could be greater than
that which has gone up from those
bereft by this tragedy, for as the days
