A Word To the Wise.
Says the Evening Times:

Says the Evening Times:
Where the party primaries are
SO conducted that every candidate
has counted for him every vote
cast for him, there is no danger
that the party will ever be domi-
mated by machine. If mistakes
are made in the selection of nom
inees they will be due to the error
of the party as expressed by the
majority of its voters, not to the
greed or dishonesty of one man or
a combination of men, and the
people at the polls may safely be
looked to for the correction of
such errors.
In the Democratic primary on
Tuesday, November s, the Times
is determined so far as its influence
with the Democratic party goes,
that it shall be exercised in giving
just representation at the polls in
the form of inspectors where II
candidate has opposition, and in
the selection by the party author
tiles of men to serve as officers of
the primary who will give to every
candidate a square deal. Howev-
en- strong may be its desire in this
respect, and however much it may
meet the approval of the party au-
thority. it will fail of realization,
unless the candidates themselves
see to it that the men named by
them as election officers can safely
be intrusted with the party's hon
or, thereby insuring the party's
right to success in the election of
its nominees. If this is not done
and fraud should faint the primary,
its first cost will fall deservedly on
the candidates, but the party, too,
will suffer undeservedly."

AN OPEN LETTER
To The People of Mt. Sterling.
To Whom It MAY Concern:

TO Whom 1t May Concern:
OF late there has been a good
deal of discussion in Mt. Sterling
in regard to advertised medicines
and their value-the papers are
full of them.
We want to say to every man,
woman and child in Mt. Sterling
that we believe the most valuable
preparation of cod liver oil-the
best tonic reconstructor, health re-
storer and strength creator-we
have ever sold in our store is
Vinol.
Vinol is not patent medicine,
it contains no injurious drugs, but
it actually does contain all of the
medicinal, curative elements taken
from fresh Gods livers, without a
drop of the useless oil to upset the
stomach and retard its work, and
tonic iron added.
Vinol is recognized throughout
the world as the greatest strength
creator for old people, weak sick
ley women and children, nursing
mothers, and after a severe sick
ness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs,
chronic colds, bronchitis, and all
throat and lung troubles. We
ask the people of Mt. Sterling to
try Vinol on our offer to return
money fit fails. w, S. Lloyd,
Druggist.
NOTE. While we are sole agents
for Vinol in Mt. Sterling, it is
now for sale at the leading drug
store in nearly every town and
city in the country. Look for the
Vinol agency in your town.

CATARRh SEASON.
Disease Most Prevalent in the
Fall Months. Simple Way
to Cure.

At the first warning Of catarrh,
one should begin using Hyomei.
There is no stomach dosing with
this treatment. The medication of
its healing oils and balsams is taken
in with the air you breathe so that
it reaches the most remote cells of
the nose, throat and lungs. killing
the catarrh germs wherever pres
ent, and soothing all irritations in
the mucous membrane.
You run no risk in paying w.
5. Lloyd 81 for Hyomei outfit,
as he gives his personal guarantee
that if the remedy does not afford
relief, your money will be refund
ed at once. Extra bottles of Hy-
omei, if needed, cost but so cents,
making it the most economical
treatment for catarrh rs well as
the only one that is sold on. guar

plain as Holy Writ. But we 90 a
step farther to say that we
shall join other good citizens and
good Democrats in exposing fraud,
if fraud appears, and in hunting
down and bringing to justice those
who attempt it on effect it.
Now is the accepted time to call
halt on corruption at the polls,
no matter at whose expense. All
parties have had a hand in it..
Scarcely a faction of either the
Demoratic or the Republican par
ty but has been tarred with the
same brush. Each committeeman
in the coming Primary owes it to
himself, to his country, and to
his political associates personally
to devote himself to fair vote
and an honest count. Never was
there greater need for this, both
in the Democratic Primary and in
the General Election.
"a word to the wise ought to be
good for sore eyes.

the window and saw Owings hand
money to Withrow, the bar tender;

Liquor r Dealers ArGBdr-
ed BY The Kentucky
MdSOnS.
One OF Most Exciting Debates In
History of Grand Lodge.

At Louisville last week after
one of the most exciting
and most animated debates in
the history of the grand Lodge of
Kentucky Masons the resolution
proposed barring liquor dealers
from entrance into any Masonic
lodge in Kentucky was passed in a
amended form.
The amendment made the resO-
luton even more drastic, for on
motion of Grand Master Garnett,
druggists were included if they
sold liquor for a beverage.
At least twenty speeches were
made upon the subject.
Questions came from all parts
of the room as to how the resoIu-
ton would affect liquor dealers
now members of the order.
PRESENT MEMBERS TO REMAIN.
According to the Grand Lodge
they are in a very bad business,
replied Grand Master Garnett.
1t was generally agreed, how
ever, that the liquor dealers OF
distiIlers. who are now MasOns
shall remain in the order, but that
the brethren shall urge them tC
take some other occupation.
The feeling seemed to be alsC
that no liquor dealer or distillel
can be further advanced in Mason
nv to which he has already at
tanned at the time of the passage
of this resolution.
DEBATES on THE REPORT.
The report was read by Pas
Grand Master b. q. Witt, and i
recommended that the resolution
be made a part of the constitution
This would necessitate its laying
over for year, and the report o.
this committee was. therefore
strongly opposed by Past Crane
Master Wilhelm, the author o.
the resolution.
Past Grand Master, W. &. Nc
Chord. then made an earnest
speech of fifteen minutes, in which
he urged the adoption of the re-
port and the deferring of the
whole question for "A year, not
only to comply with the organic
law, but to give the fraternity an
opportunity to study the question.
URGES IMMEDIATE VOTE.
George Shaw, Master of Shib-
holeth lodge, of Louisville, urged
an immediate vote upon the ques-
ton. -. ID. .Groy, of Louisville,
opposed the whole resolution and

OBSERVATIONS:

On first ballot all the jury voted
guilty"
We regret that any saloon
keeper or employee violates this
law, we regret that any man is sat
isfed to engage in the saloon bus
mess.
We are always pleased to en-
courage policeman in the dis
charge of his duty, and it affords
us pleasure thus to commend Mr..
Willoughby.
On Thursday morning ID. N.
Young, proprietor of above sa-
loon, was tried, charged with
keeping his saloon open on Sun.
day. The jury consisted of |. n,
Phipps, w. O. Chenault, VIM.
Clark, Jno. g. Wood, Henry Sc n.
ieur and Harry Enoch. Much OF
same testimony was given, but
nothing is shown that Mr.. Young
knew or approved of his saloon
being open, but that he had di-
rected that no sales be made on
Sunday. The jury reported moi
guilty"
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1906-10-31
NUMBER Is

the committees report. Samuel
X. Feach, who was on Wedues-
day selected Grand Master, then
got the floor and demanded imme-
date action.
This question has been side
tracked often enough" said Mr..
Veach. The Grand Lodge is
now face to face with it and the
issue cannot be avoided"
AMENDMENT AS TO DRUGGISTS.
An amendment was adopted pro-
viding that no man engaged in the.
manufacture or sale of liquor, and
no druggist who sells liquor as a
beverage, under any circumstances.
shall be admitted into a lodge of
Kentucky Masons, and that any
lodge which violates this order
shall forfeit its charter.
Oac delegate asked if this roso-
i.t.... Gid not mean that all EN-
ployes in distilleries would be
barred. Past Grand Master Witt
was clearly of that opinion, and
so argued. He said that the clerk
who received payments, the man
who drives the wagon, the engi-
neer who shovels coal in distiIl-
ery-all would be barred.
GRAND MASTER GARNETT's VIEW.
Grand Master Garnett took a.
contrary view and said that such
questions could with wisdom be-
left to the subordinate lodges.
The Grand Lodge was by this.
time up to high state of excite
ment, and there were loud cries of
"qeustion. A few tried to stay the
tide in vain, and the amendment
offered by Mr.. Veach was passed
forbidding any lodge to admit a
liquor dealer in the next twelve,
months and then the report of the
committee was adopted as amend
ed. The vote was taken by a
rising vote. In all thirty-tw O,
votes were cast against the resO-
luton. As about 450 voted, the
vote, therefore, stood AIS against
the liquor dealers, and 30 in favor
of admitting them.
PRESENT MEMBERS NOT AFFECTED.
A delegate from Eastern Ken
lucky was then recognized, and he
offered resolution pr
, all MasOns now engaged in the
liquor business be given one year
to close up their business. If
they failed to do this they should
then be suspended.
Grand Master Garnett ruled
that question out of order, and
said that the standing of no Mason
{ could be impeached except for con
duct considered un-Masonic at the
time he was elected member OF
r the order. The consideration OF
), the liquor resolution was the last
u matter of Importance up for con
o sideration.

for such work but does not keep
account of what he pays; that he
saw Willoughby looking through
the window into the saloon.
Owings testified that for some
years he had known Withrow, be-
fore and since he (Withrow) was
employed by d, N. Young; that
he was in the saloon at the time
specified; that he did not buy or
get any whiskey THERE on Sunday
morning, because he knew it
would be no use to try on Sunday;
that he did, however, have dram
that morning; here attorney Day
asked where he got the dram, Ow-
ings replied that a gentleman had
given it and appeared hesitant
about telling. Jailor 9. 7. Will
son who was in the court room
spoke up and in substance said:
tell it. Owings then pointed to
Wilson as the one who gave the
whiskeyl: that he helps clean up
at Young's saloon; that when Will
loughby on the street asked him
about the whiskey he threw back
his coat and said, here | am, search
me; that Willoughby had threat
ened to put him up" if he did
not confess that he got whiskey;
that he had talked with Day and
Willoughby in Days office.
Here he evidently tried to pro-
duce the impression that they
wished to get him to convict
Withrow, whether or not facts
justified. Attorney Day inter
posed by saying that he urged Ow-
ings to tell the truth and Owings
admitted thisl; that he would not
tell a lie.
Judge Kemper read to the jury
the law applicable to the case.
The penalty when guilt is estab-
lished, is a fine from $40 to $50.
In few minutes the jury re-
turned a verdict and imposed a
fine of $25.

BREAKING ROAD TO ALTA
BINGHAM CONSOLIDATED DEAL

These are exciting moments at the

assure was dropped into with the shaft
and it's naturalization is so heavy and
the ledge is so strong that the mine

healthy ones, at that. Nothing has been

the mines at Alta, Sunday afternoon.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. fol-
lowing an all-night's struggle, the out
fits had reached point one and one
half miles below the Columbus mill,
and the expectation was that the re-
naming distance would be covered be-
fore dark last night.
Only three Of the poles carrying the
wires Of the Columbus Consolidated
line had been taken out by the slides.
and the report from the mine during the
afternoon was to the effect that the
poles would be replaced and the current
turned on by 3 o'clock last evening.

For the first time since the Boston

He expressed himself as being pleased

BEETLES says, viii undoubtedly prove
it's adaptability to the character of ore

devices that are to be tried out will
each be given a fair and impartial
demonstration. The first cleanup at
the mill is now being made and when
that is finished another run on ore
from different portions of the pOr-
phyry belt will be made. 1t has not
been possible to keep an absolutely
accurate record of the saving made in
the run just completed for the reason
that leakages have occurred through
the concentrate boxes and other
places, something that cannot be
avoided with new materials. The ex-
tremely cold weather has also inter-
fered with operations, cud Mr. BEETLES

for transfer. This means a dividend be-
fore the end of the present month OF

big one and is sacking an immense
amount of ore, the present high prices
would certainly be the time to take
profit. The announcement of a dividend
always brings a slump and l think Il
probably the best short on the list.
Sandstone continues to make very
rich strikes on the 1G0-foot level. Three
feet Of $1,000 ore was opened up. Con-
ing has proven richer than thought and
will bear shipping expense. A three-fOot
vein was unearthed on Lease which
without sorting, shows $4,000, some peck

riched by shipments and. as the stock is
