But Contains More Alcohol Says
Analysis Made In Louisville
Recently BY Chem ist.
yI0LATERS TO BE PROSECUTED.

The samples of beverages sold by
Cloverport and West Point firms as
"Cream of Hops and other mislead-
ing names, ana analyzed through the
efforts of commonwealth attorney
Layman and county attorney Boyd,
show about q half percent more of
alcohol than ordinary beer.
The analysis was made by the Louis

that these drin ks contain from about
IL to AZ percent of alcohol.

HON. BEN JOHNSON, CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS, SKETCH OF
HIS LIFE AND PURPOSES.

even dared assail it. His honesty of
purpose and integrity have never been
questioned. In these times when
graft, chicanery and double dealing
so often mar the character of public
servants, such record is one to be
indeed proud of. Coupled with Ben
johnson purity of character is
another element the people, especially
Democrats, love and admire, that Is
firmness ana positiveness. You can
always place him on any question. II
he is for a measure or man he is
always openly 50, and it usually taxes
but short time to find out how he
stands. A stand once taken on any i'm,
portant matter is usually final with
HIM. This marked hrmness OF char
acter, whilst il may have made him
few enemies, has named mis- friends
leigon, who always rally at his call,
and have never failed to bear his
banner to victory Tne SAME success
in November is now fully assured.
Ben Johnson began his political
career by serving as page in the
State Senate at the session in 1872
when quite small boy, and from that
time has been a close student and OBJ
server rs we'll as usually an active par
ticipant in Kentucky politics and Mss
tory. The knowledge and experience
30 acquired admirably equips him for
the campaign on which he will soon
enter
AS soon as the present session of the
Legislature is over it is Mr.. Johnson's 8
purpose and intention to enter upon an
active canvass of the district and in
the various counties, where a warm
welcome awaits him. After he has
been formally declared the nominee
which will be in May, as now seems
certain he will then be ready to meet
any opTonent the Republicans nay see
fit to place in the field against him.
Those who know his clean, clear logical
style of oratory have no fears as to the
result He will bear the Democratic
standard to victory and no Democrats
will ever have cause to regret their
choice in that contest.
Whilst Mr.. johnson is 80 thoroughly
equipped politically to fill the high po>
sition to which he will be chosen, he
is equally qualified to fill the same
socially.
Easy graceful and self possessed,
personally he will be ably assisted by
charming wife, three lovely and ac-
complished daughters just merging in.
to womanhood, all of whom are musi.

TO BEGIN WORK
ON NEW R. R.
By Spring--But Little Trouble in
Securing Right-Of-W Way
Over Entire Route.
CONSTRUCTION BIDS INVITED.

George W. Feagan, chief engineer of
the MadIsonville, Hartford and Eastern
Railroad was here Thursday says the
Madisonville Hustler for the purpose Of
making his last trip over the proposed
route. Mr.. Feagan after making the
tour will invite responsible construc-
tion companies to bid on the construc-
tion work and it is the belief that IT
will be but a short time until the
contracts are all let and the ''actual
work OF construction underway.
81. b. Holeman one of the prime
movers in the movement TO build the
road IS more than pleased with the pro
CESS that is being made and made the
statement Thursday that the road was
assured. When the company first began
to take up rights of way it was predict
ed that many people over whose land
the road passed would bitterly oppose
giving the company a right-o way.
MIR. Holeman said Thursday that he
had experinced but little trouble in
closing the deals for the right of way
over practically the entire route. He
does not think there will be single
instance in which the company will be
forced to go to court with condemna
tion proceedings. The right Of way Is
now almost virtually complete and
there will be nothing in the way when
the contracts are let and the work of
construction commences.
1t is hoped by the promoters to have
everything in readiness to commence
work early in the spring.
