Past Year One of Activity
and Many Lines Have
Been Strung and New
Phones Installed.

A meeting of the representatives
of the Independent Telephone com
panies doing business in West Ken

Exchanges at Benton, Murray,
Hardin and other good towns have
been built, and an exchange is now
being put in at May6eld.
The object of the Murray meeting

houses, and now they propose to
combine and give free service to
their subscribers to all points on
their lines. -Paducah News-Demo-

HEARST OR BRYAN.
New York Man After Governorship-
May Force Bryan on Democrats.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. At is
said in Washington that William
Randolph Hearst's announcement
that he has opened permanent head,
quarters in New York city with a
view to extending his municipal own
erShip organization over the entire
state is a preliminary move to his
running for governor next year on
municipal ownership ticket or to die
tating the nomination of one of his
supporters for that place. 1t is be-
lieved here that he will himself run,
thus paving the way to his candidac
for the presidency on a government
ownership platform in 1898.
This situation is causing the lead
ing democrats a good deal of worry,
for Hearst. as presidential nominee
will cut into the country. where it is
strongest and help make demo-
cratic victory impossible.
Many prominent democrats are
saying the only way to offset the
Hearst movement will be to give
Bryan the democratic presidential
nomination on a fairly conservative
ownership ticket This would repeat
on national scale the campaign this
year in Chicago and New York.

Performed" Football.

ITHACA, Dec 4-There was a
game Of "reformed'' football played at
Cornell 1t was between the under
and upper classmen of one Of the
Greek letter fraternities and resulted
to in favor of the younger men.
Special rules were drawn for the
game according to suggestion made by
the head football coach, Glen S. War
ner.
The usual rules of the game pre-
vailed, except that ten yards had to be
gained instead of five in three downs,
and every kick was free-that is, a
kicked ball to whichever team could
get it-and these two changes in the
rules compelled a great deal of open
playing.
third rule related to tackling and
stopping the man with the ball. 1t
was to the effect that whenever the
progress of the ball was checked it
was down." and any further fight
ing or piling up was penalized.
In spite of the rules, two injuries
resulted. One player cut his forehead
badly on the nook of a shoe, and an
others finger was stepped on and
broken.

PREDICT STRIKE.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Dec. 4.-Stock
IN" is the cry among coal dealers and
operators. The anthracite operators
held a secret meeting in Philadelphia
a few DAYS ago. The demands TO De
made by the United Mine Workers OF
America were gone over. The eastern
operators decided that they would not
deal with the labor unions. This Will
mean a strike on April l.
The eastern operators decided to call
in their sales agents. Some OF THESE
who have been stationed west OF the
Allegheny mountains will be taken
into Harrisburg. There Will be no
more drumming of trade. There is
plenty of anthracite coal in the west
but not enough to meet the consump-
ton if the winter is a cold one. In
the east vast quantities of hard coal
have been stored.
A Pittsburg coal operator sent a
man east to examine the coal piles
carried by the railroads and dealers.
He found from Lewiston, on the Penn
svlvania railroad, to Sunbury and
through Wilkesbarre and Scranton
every storage bin filled to its capacity
This has been done during the past
two months On the outskirts o.
philadelphia the railroads had leased
or rented every available coalbin, and
are storing these with coal.
