In preference TO a Eodly one
Who never took a bath?

Strike No. g Vein.

At 2:30 p. m. Tuesday steam
whistle at the mines Of the Thomas
Blackwell Coal and Mining company
of this place announced that the
company had struck No. 9 coal.
This vein was found at a depth Of
252 feet and is over 4J feet thick,
with roof Of three feet black aud thir-
ty-hve feet gray slate
From this and subsequent borings
it l. now evident that Clay and i'm
mediate vicinity II over an unbroken
bed of the best coal in Western Ken
lucky, the area of which is wide in
all directions with Clay as common
center.
This find establishes the fact that
beyond all doubt the coal lands own
ed by this company, which consti-
tute about two thousand acres. all in
one body, is one OF the finest coal
fields in the country, this being the
third drilling made by this company,
all Of which have shown the coal to
lie regular under all their property.
This company will begin immedi-
ately to sink their shaft at Clay, to
this coal, and will be ready to fur
uish the fall trade from the No. Q vein
which, in this section has already
proven to be Of the most superior
quality.
This is not only great hit for the
company, but stands as another point
er TO the bright pros .ect before our
thriving little city, and our citizens
generally appreciate the efforts Of
these enterprising business men in
developing the natural.. Resources Of our
position and congratulate them on
their brilliant success. The Times,

Lewis and Clark Buildings Will Be Torn Down Monday.
 Portland; Ore, Oct 14.-To-day, off cers' and stockholders day. at the Lewis and Clark centennial exposition, is the last of the exposition period. After tomorrow the work of wrecking the exhibit palaces and state buildings will be begun and in a few months all that will remain of the exposition will be a memory of its success-success as expositions go, for President Goode has announced that stockholders will receive a dividend of from 30 to 40 per cent on their stock, record said to excel any exposition of like charac- ter ever held in the world.
 The passing of the exposition will not be marked by any elaborate liter- ary exercises. but toward midnight there will be a grand fireworks dis play, bands will play patriotic airs and to the tune of "Auld Lang Syner by the United States artillery band, Presi- dent Goode will formally declare the exposition closed.
 The exposition has been a remark able success It has attracted investors fin almost every line of endeavor and it has made known to the entire coun- try some of the advantages which the Pacific coast has to offer home-seekers.
 1t is probable that with to-day's at- tendance the fair will have attracted over 2.50O,O0O people.

GERMANY
 AROUSED
NavalLeague Wants
 More Guns.
Alleged British Offer of Al. liance Against German Empire is the Cause ofthe Activity in Naval Circles.

Berlin, Oct 14-The disclosures in France of alleged British offers of al liance against Germany are so thor oughly believed here that the powerful Naval league with its 100000 mem bers and all the apparatus of agitation is already moving for a new naval program that shall further increase Germany's defensive resources against Great Britain. Popular distrust of Great Britain has naturally swollen to great proportions and the semi-official denials in London can scarcely over come the convictions now formed that Germany had a narrow escape from a war in which although she would have been victorious on land, would have resulted in her being crushed at sea and damaged along the coast with the consequent destruction of her over-sea commerce. The events of the last four months have silenced the op- ponents of naval increase except the socialists and radicals. While time and money beyond Germany's re- sources would be necessary to equal Great Britain's present navy, not to speak of her future buildings. yet the feeling is that Germany must for de fensive reasons build as many more ships as the countrys finances will bear. The government some months ago decided to introduce in the reich stag measure substituting large for small cruisers in the authorized naval program. Whether the government will increase the recommendations be- yond this or not is not yet known.

THE FINAL CONTEST
Miss Curtiss and Miss nackay Con.
 tsstants T0.Day.

New York. Oct. 1.-The final con- test for the women's national golf championship began today between Miss Margaret Curtis and Miss Paul. inc Mackay at the Morris County links at Convent Station, N. J. Miss Curtis represents the Essex County Country club of Manchester-by the Sea, Mass. and Miss Mackay the Oakley Country club of Watertown, Mass.
 These two eastern golfers won their way to to-day's finals over many com petitors from many different sections of the country in tournament whose preliminaries extended over two days. Weather conditions were excellent for their contest when play began.
 Miss Curtis was the favorite be- cause of the low scores of which she has been making over the course In the preliminary rounds. Her drives are as long as mans and unless she should develop .slicing streak, a com plaint all long drivers are liable to. it was not thought at the opening of the contest that Mrs Mackay would have much show to win. Miss Mack avs admirers however, had faith in the steadiness on the short game Of their favorite.
