OBITUARY.

Samuel Eckard, of Mason conn.
| ~, died May Is. 1905. Once more
We are brought to the relizatinn Of
the fact that death takes from onr
associations those who are near
and dear to as at an hour when we
are at least expecting it. "Sam" aS
he was familiar known was taken
ill on Monday evening and on
Thursday at 9 O'Clock departed
this peaceful and loving life. It
has cast 8 gloom all over this com.
munity. Everything was done that
loving hands and kindness could
do to releave dear Sam from his
suffering but God knew best and
called him home. Oh we have lost
one of our best young men; he was
we'll respected and loved by all who
knew him. He brought sunshine
to those whom he met, Little did
we realize when we were called to
his bedside on Thursday morning
that that was our last meeting with
him on this earth. Oh how hard
it was for us to give him mp, but We
will meet you in the sweet by and
by.
He has gone, we could not keep him,
Though it made our eyes grow dim,
And our hearts ache with sadness,
When we said farewell to him.
Farewell Sam till we meet you,
In that land SO bright and fair,
We will be happy. well be happy.
Until we meet you over there.
He has crossed the river,
He's with the angels now;
He has laid aside earth's burden,
And the crown is on his brow.
We miss thee from our home,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow over our life is cast,
We miss thy sunshine ofthy face.
We miss thy kind and gentle hand,
Thy found and earnest care.
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
Peaceful by thy silent sIumber.
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our sorrow know.
Yet again we hope TO meet thee.
When the day of lite is fled;
And in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms Is over
In the graveyard there We left him,
Soon to meet TO part no more.
No sorrow thought can reach thee,
No grief js thine to-day;
God gives thee joy for mourning,
He wipes thy tears away.
Far beyond this world of changes.
Far beyond this world of care,
We shall meet our dear friend,
In our father mansion fair.
Mr. AND MRS. HOMER DAUaHFRTY.

AN EXPERT ON LYING.
He Was Allowed to Testify In Court
and Won the Case.


A Kansas City lawyer tells Of the
use of expert testimony on lying. He
says:
81 was prosecuting attorney for
tinny county in 1881, and had fellow
up before Squire N. G. Jones on the
charge of horse stealing. He hired
Mike Sutton to defend him, and when
the case was called / proved beyond
question by witness who witnessed
the theft that we had the right man.
After the prosecution had rested Sot.
ton introduced Buffalo Jones as a
witness and gravely informed the court
that he intended to prove by him that
my witness had lied. Buffalo took
the stand and swore that, while he
had never seen or heard of the wit
ness before and knew nothing at all
about the crime committed, he had had
great deal of experience with men
and could tell pretty certain when they
were lying. Then he'proceeded to tell
how men acted when they were lying,
and gave the expert opinion that my

A LIVING NET.
Peculiar Method Of Fishing Used BY
Natives Of oceania.
year.

A peculiar method of fishing is in
dulged in by the natives Of Tetuila,
one Of theislands Of Oceania. At a
given signal the inhabitants Of the vii
lage assemble on the seashore to the
number Of about 200 persons, each OF
whom carries a branch Of cocoa palm.
With these in their hands they plunge
into the water, and at a certain dis
tance from the shore turn toward II,
forming a compact half circle, each one
holding his palm branch perpendien-
larly in the water, and thus forming
sieve.
The leader of the party then gives
signal, and this living net approaches
the shore gradually in perfect order,
driving before it multitude of fishes
Surrounded by this living wall and en-
tangled in the cocoa palm branches
many of the fishes are east on the sand
by the waves, while Others are killed
with sticks. After being cooked over
hot Goals the fish are served with ba'
nanas and eoeoanut milk.
The scene as described by French
man who visited the island was inter
esting and picturesque in the extreme

ed by the appearance of the natives

this kind of roofing. Tile. once popn
lar, has been superseded. as has beer
slate and tin, and when a new buildipo
is now put up it is certainty that II
will have gravel roof.
The change from the three STYLES of
roof mentioned has not been gradual
coming with a rush Immediately after
it was discovered that gravel is y
better protection against fire, besides
lasting longer and in better condition
than the Others. Then the underwrit.
ers association indorsed gravel roofs.
and among the builders the under.
writer's arc the great power to be re.
garded.
In the fire tests it was discovered that
a well made composition roof lasted
just twice as long as tin, tile or slate.
The tin buckled and bent and the sol.
dering melted at the first feel of fire.
the tile and slate cracked, but the
solid composition roof, with its six
layers Of heavy felt, stubbornly re.
fused to let the fire through it. until
its superiority was proved beyond
question.
As to durability, one Chicago firm
put gravel roof on the old fremont
House when it was rebuilt, immediate
ly after the great FIRE, and the roof
lasted with a few repairs for thirty.
two years, when II was removed in an
alteration of the building. Ordinarily
however, the life of a gravel roof may
be said to be ten years. After that,
it will, in the majority Of cases, have
to be recoated. In this process the old
gravel and top coat Of composition is
scraped away, holes and loose spots in
the felt are carefully repaired and the
whole given a clean coat Of compost
tion and gravel, the same being guar
anteed for period of three years.
With this done whenever a roof ap.
pears to need it, IL is declared that it
never is necessary to put on an en-.
tirely new roof.
Workers Well Paid for Labor.
The workers in this line are wen
paid, much better than their skill or
special knowledge would seem to jus
tify. Fifty cents an hour is the scale
of pay for all men engaged ON job,
whether as workers on the roof or
merely in the manual labor Of pulling
a rope attached to a gravel bucket,
with the exception Of the foreman, and
he is paid 60 cents. There is foreman
with each crew. During the hot wealth
er the roofers may be said to earn all
they get. Up 100 or 200 feet from the
ground, and working under broiling
sun, with no possible chance for pro
lection, IL is little wonder that the
roofers contribute considerably to the
heat prostrations, or that they are
forced to lay of in the extremely heat
ed spell.
Tho equipment Of a rooHing firm
even of the largest, is not necessarily
an expensive one Wagons, horses,
kettles, and tools seldom invoice over
$4,000. and men with this investment
often do $5O,OlO worth Of business in
a year.

AGITATED THE CROWD.

While Rev. NJ. B. Adams, pas
tor of the First Baptist Church,
was preaching upon THE Bap-
tism of Fire." on Sunday night,
and was showing that the Holy
Spirit not only acted with fusing
power to weld Christians into
firmer allegiance to Christ and
His cause, but at the same time it
burned in the hearts of sinners so
that they became anealed and
hardened to its influence, the ice
upon the roof of the church,
which had become loosened by the
rain, gave way and came rushing
down the roof to the ground.
Quite a number of those present
were very much alarmed for u
moment or two and did not seem
to know but what some mysteri-
Gus power was at work about there.

THE FAYETTE INTER-URBAN
TRACTION co.

The franchise to build an cleo
trio railway to Versailles, and
probably to this city, was pur-
chased from Mr.. G. d. Beebe (who
recently acquired it by purchase
at commissioners sale), on Mon
day last, by the above company.
This is the company that is now
running the lines to Georgetown
and Paris. 1t is asserted that
work upon the Versailles line will
be pushed so soon as the weather
will permit.
1t is earnestly hoped that the
portion of the road between Ver-
sailles and this city will be con-
structed by this company, which
means business in all it under
takes, as witness It's other lines.

MAKE 1T COMMONWEALTH
AVENUE.

In the city of Frankfort we now
have two Main streets, the one on
the North Side, and the other on
the South Side. We would re-
spectfully suggest that the city
council pass an ordinance chang
ing the name of the South Side
street of that name to Common
wealth or State Avenue, especially
so as it is now pretty we'll assured
that the street in question will be
the main entrance to the new
Capitol grounds.
Either name suggested will do.
but we rather prefer Common
wealth Avenue as it designation.

SETTLED AT LAST.
Capitol Site Chosen, Money Ar-
propriated and Legisla-
ture Adjourns.

On Tuesday last the Senate
adopted the report of the Confer
ence Committee on the location
of the new Capitol, by vote of
"a to 4, which was afterwards
changed to 26 to 4 by recording
the votes of Senators Burnam and
Spence in the affirmative.
The bill, as amended, was then
reported to the House of Repre-
sentatives on Wednesday. After
some parliamentary motions the
amendment was concurred in by
vote of 68 to IA.
Thus this matter, over which a
long battle has been waged, was
finally and for all time settled.
: The same result could have been
attained and the whole matter
closed up in ten days had there
not been SO much politics injected
into the fight.
The play for position in the
dominant party was the moving
cause, each striving to put the
other to disadvantage.
While we have had our views
on this matter, we have carefully
! refrained from publicly declaring
them, because we believed it the
duty of the Legislature to settle
the matter for the best interests
of the State, regardless of the
choice of Frankfort's people.
What we have always desired
was the speedy settlement of the
question, and the erection of the
long needed buildings.
The site selected is beautiful
and commanding one, and will be
easily seen from all directions.
The Legislature was in session
for 30 days, at an expense of
about 81, 500 per day.
The final adjournment took
place on yesterday.
