Saltwater, Mimi, May 25.-The troll

Saltwater, and opened dam which he
had built across a pond in little val
ley. The heavy rains swelled the water
Of the pond until it flooded the tracks
of the company and made it impossible
for the company to operate it's suburban
cars on time. The half hourly schedule
had to be changed to hourly and there
was a prospect that the water would
hold up the traffic altogether. -, Z
The little pleasure boat, the Lotus

FIRE WRECKS A. :. f.
WIN0NA PLANT
Loss to the Union Fiber Company

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Winona, Mimi, May 25.-The Union
Fiber company, capitalized at 100000,
suffered loss Of $4,000 this morr/lg
by a fire which gutted it's main factory
building. It carried insurance of $lO2,-
900, and it is believed will rebuild.
It manufactured refrigerating ma
terials, 18th and linofelt. Its linofelt
manufactory is entirely stopped, but
18th will still be turned out thru a
branch plant at Yorktown, Ind. :
The building here was nearly 300 feet
long and was owned by "a syndicate
composed of the H., W. Lamberton es-
tate, the V. Simpson estate, Laird-Nor.
ton company and Youmans & Bro. The
loss on the building is 100000, with
insurance of $4,000.
A week ago today these same inter
ests suffered $1,000 loss in the burn.
ing Of the warehouse east of the main
building at this plant. The origin of
today's fire is a mystery and still more
mysterious is an explosion which took
place at the start, blowing out the west
end Of the building. No explosive ma.
terials were known to be there. & A
watchman says he went thru the build,
ing five minutes before the fire was dis,
covered. No one was hurt and all once
missing have been accounted for. 4rJ,=

Brother Wallace.

Bro. John F. Wallace was born
the 10th day of October, 1884, in
Ohio county, KY, and departed this
life April 10, 1906, at his home near
Hartford, KY. at 8 o'clock and &c
minutes in the morning. He was
converted when but IL years of age
and united with the M. E. church
and became very active member OF
said church until age and bad health
made it impossible for him to meet
with the brethren at the house OF
worship. He was class-leader for
many years at the No Creek church
where his home was.
Bro. Wallace was united in mar
riage to Miss Delilah A. Woodward,
August IL, 1854. To this union 10
children were born, four of whom
have passed to the great beyond
years ago. On February 10, 1904,
his beloved wife, Delilah A. Wallace,
was called from her labors on earth
to her. reward in Heaven, and Bro.
Wallace was yet able to say: Thy
will be done. o, God" Brother
Wallace had been confined to his
bed for six months and his death
was not unexpected. The writer has
visited him many times in his last
sickness and heard him testify to the
goodness of God and his faith in a
Savior.
His body was taken to the No
Creek church. under the shadow of
his home, where the funeral was
conducted by his pastor, assisted by
the Rev. J. A. Bennett, in the pres
ence of a large concourse of rela-
tives and friends.
He leaves six children, two sisters
and host Of grandchildren to
mourn the loss of him who was a
kind and affectionate father, good
citizen and a true, devoted christian.
He will be sadly missed in the
church he loved so well. To his
children let this be that which will
bind you closer in affection and
duties you owe to your fathers
God.
For death is but a covered way.
That opens into light,
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond it's fathers sight.
He was laid to rest in, the No
Greek cemetery to await the call of
his Father, who may say Come, you
have been faithful over a few things,
enter thou into the joys of thy
Lord" A FRIEND.

of this State government than the
acts of our own Legislature that we
propose to test in the courts.
At the last election for President
in our State the Republican party
cast more than AZ per cent. of the
total vote cast and the Democratic
party fraction under so per cent.
II the Assembly districts were fairly
divided the Republicans would have
sixty five members of the Legisla-
ture instead of thirty-two now held
by them.
The committee. after a careful
consideration of the law and the
facts, have agreed that it is the duty
of our people to contest the act OF
the General Assembly of Maya. 1898
June %, 1893; March IL. 1898. and
act of March, 1906. and we have the
utmost confidence that with the
proper effort each and all of these
alleged laws with set aside and held
for naught, and the Legislature will
be reconvened and laws more in ac-
ordance with justice. right and the
Constitution will be enacted.
We deem it prudent that various
suits be filled against each act and
in every form and manner that such
suits have been filed in our sister
States, so that there can be no ques-
ton that some of the number are
properly brought, and will therefore
have to be decided upon their
merits.
We have secured eminent counsel
to take charge of the litigation in
behalf of the people. and it will re-
quire considerable money to pay the
expenses of these various suits, give
our chosen counsel a moderate fee
for their services and the actual ex-
pense incurred by the committee in
prosecuting the contests in the courts
The committee is serving without
salary or hope of any financial re-
ward for its services in the matter.
This is not party matter, as it
strikes at the very root of the prin-
ciple of self-government, and the
equal right of all citizens. under the
law to participate. through their rep
resentatives, in the enactment of
their laws.
All men irrespective of their affili-
atoms are asked to take an interest
in this contest for the preservation
of the rights of the people, and to
aid us both with voice, pen and purse
in our efforts to assert and maintain
the Constitutional rights of Ken
tuckians.

ON THE PLAINS,
Observations of an Ohio Co.
unity Boy Visiting in Texas.
Buffalo and Cow Boy Gives Place
to Steam PIow and
Motor Cars.

San Angelo, Texas, April I'll
have been here for two days only,
and would be ashamed to write
about this country except for the
fact that | start for old Mexico early
in the morning to be gone for one
month in wagon and away from
Post Office or any other means of
communication.
This Country is Chinese puzzle;
an example on large scale of the
old adage. 1T is the unexpected
that happens" Nothing is impos-
sible with God or western Texas.
San Angelo was U. S. Fort in 1860
and remained such for forty years
cluster of stone buildings sur
rounding a parade ground. The
buffalo and red Indian first and
then the Texas steer and the cow
boy were the only lords of these
boundless acres of rolling pasture
which surround the place on every
side. About 1899 farming was be-
gun and now the whole country for
fifty miles is fenced and land that
sold five years ago for less than
81 per acre now selling for $40, The
city has 10000 inhabitants and is
the distributing point for the largest
section of country supplied by sim
gle city in the United States. Its
freight wagon pulled by 8 ponies
travel $50 miles as the radius of
semi-circle extending westward.
This morn while driving along ma
cadamized streets | met herd of
more than 1000 cattle coming in
from Devil River, 100 miles away.
They were in charge of seven COW
boys each wearing leather breaches,
and the cow boys forgot their cattle
to stare at handsome motor car
whose driver had obligingly stopped
it on the curb to let the herd pass by.
And so it is everywhere. The new
citizens park is being made beauti-
full with Palm trees flowers and
Vines. but the buffalo chips have
not yet been all raked eff and the
wild cactus is undisturbed.
AS | write a groop of COW boys
with lassos coiled about their saddles
are galloping past a rubber tired
vehicle on the street before me.
The nomad brushes elbows with the
business men and in short while the
COW boy the trapper and the ranch
man will be gone-even now he is
giving place to the man with the
steam pillow and the cultivator. A
Mexican passed up the main street
yesterday eve leading gray timber
wolf by chain, The wolf and the
Mexican seemed each mortified to
note that the citizens were almost
unconcious of their presence. They
were interested in land and money
not wolves.
A man can get rich or get broke
out here with less effort than Judge
Wedding makes to live in Kentucky
but he can't be very certrin which
it will be.
But whats the difference even when
broke he may have roses and 'all
sweet flowers in January and sleep

one blanket over him and get up
feeling fine as fiddler.

tyranny. 1t was for representation
that our fathers fought in the Revo-
luton. The right they secured for
US has been taken away by the Ken
lucky Legislature. Under the infa-
nous system now in operation in
some districts the representation
which would properly be given to
one citizen is divided between two.
To that extent each is disfranchised.
1t is only question of degree. The
right to disfranchise a citizen alto
gether is as great as the right to
half dlsfranchise him. In other
districts the representation which
should be divided between two or
three citizens is given to one. This
still further proportionately reduces
the representation of the citizen
who has already been half disfran-
chised, and in some cases given only
one-eighth of the voting strength al
