went to the factories and applied
matches The masked men permitted
nobody to come near the burning
buildings A squad Of the mob took
charge Of the telephone office and no
word oi the affair was permitted to go
out.
when the mob saw the fire was be-
yond control they left the town, going
in the direction of Hopkinsville. dis

Don't TrifIe With Your Health.
Carelessness in Your Food Selection
 Can Make a Dyspeptic of You.

The result of improper mastica- tion, undue haste in eating, and at irregular intervals will surely bring on some forms of stomach disturb ances. A mild and invaluable tonic for such disorders is the we'll known Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Mrs Lizzie Larkin. of 104 Park avenue, Waterbury, Conn. says:
 "I want to say good word for pr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets and what they have done for me. have been in poor heath for several years. I have been closely confined and care lessness to my diet gradually affect ed my stomach until I suffered se- verely with indigestion and a gen. eral breaking down of the nervous system. On the recommendation of a friend I went to Apothecaries' Hall and got a bottle of Dr Richards Dys- pepsia Tablets. My stomach was very much diseased and was af- fected with a bad case of constipa- tion. I am glad to give this splen- did remedy my highest endorsement.
 For sale by all druggists. Better to say Richards twice. Price 90 cents per bottle. Made by Dr Rich ards Dyspepsia Tablet Association, 8 Worth street, New York.

 The somber outline of Rogers barn was penciled against the sky. Lights from the windows twinkled back to the stars, and the twang of laboring fiddle mingled with the voice of one calling on the dance. The country. for miles around, had lent to the frolic a crowd of pleasure seekers. Lack of fine clothes kept none at home; jeans danced with homespun, and buckskin sleeve embraced dimity waist In the tumultuous whirls of "0ld Zip Coon"
 There was no social distinction in this western community, where all were linked together for mutual pro- tection against common dangers. Even among the tongues there was di- versity. A Frenchman's 'voulez vous me faire le plaisir?". was answered by a gay, Well, I reckon" from a co1e- ly Kentucky lass. or even . "gracias. Senor." lisped through the white teeth of Spanish maid.

 Her fathers small eyes contracted in cruel leer. "Ye hev, hey ye? Then why does he gallivant after ye? There ain't no reason fer sech a high and mighty chap hangin' round, unless he knows my land is rich, and is willin' ter marry ye to git a-hold of it."
 She shuddered at this, and her face grew white as he added with look of evil insinuation: "Or maybe he hain't no thought O marvin ye at all?"
 Choking an indignant sob. his daugh- ter said: "He does mean to some day, father, but he must first help his own family to make their home. As l promised you. have let him think ne poor as he is, and so we must wait until"
 But her father interrupted with sud- den suspicion: 'Mebbe he saw where I he'd been diggin' the well? He noses around a good deal, like all the rest O the meddlesome set, worryin' on ac- count O our drinkin' the branch water. Calls me lazy fer not diggin' we'll. So. to please 'em, dug one. and what did I find? Coal! Coal everywhere! I'll be rich, rich and all from takin' their advice, bless 'em." The light of the miser shone in his eyes, and he laughed low with triumphant derision.
 Why don't you want it known, fa- ther?" the girl pleaded. Nobody would cheat you out of 1t; the land is CUTS"
 "'Ours?' yes, but who kin prove it? These tomahawk rights are damned onsartir things, and some O the big bugs in the village might take a mo- t:on to some O that there coal Then, how long would few scratches in the trees help me? No, sir"-and he brought his fist down on the puncheon stool with defiant thwack-"I'll lay low for the present, and after g few months the claim will be mine sure as shootin'. There are better ways than tomahawk rights, and ye kin bet I'll use 'em. Nobody knows of the vein but this smooth-jawed lover of yourn, and wish he was in he'll"
 But, father, what makes you think that Gerald-Mr. Creighton-suspec:s? Why should he? And if he did, wouldn't he talk to me about it? He is always saying how sorry he is that we haven't any prospects so that-oh, father. try to think I'm right"
 She knelt on the tiny rug at his feet. "He is not mean; he has no underhand- ed object; he is really true, and loves newell. just because it's me-" and the fair face was suffused as at some, fond recollection.
 But the branch-water man pushed, her roughly away. while his ,face,t al ready red with drink. changed to pur- pie under the violence of temper. Just because it's you" he mocked, ''just because it's soft fool! But know how to look after ye, ef ye can't take care of yourself, and damn me er I don't do it. It's one of two things eff he means to marry ye, it's to git that coal; eff he don't--well, eff he dont"-his voice died away to threat ening whisper, hissed between clenched teeth. s
 Full of vague alarm, Susan slipped away to her own little curtained cor ner, while her father. nursing wrath and greed and plotting revenge. alter nately smoked and dozed the night away.

INADEQUATE DECLARES
 PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
ABSOLUTELY OF SUBSTITUTE MEAT INSPEC-
 TION BILL.

Indicates Special Points of Weakness
 Inspection at All Hours of the Day
 and Night Not Provided FOr-OppOses
 the Court Review CIause-Believes
 Payment of Expense of Inspection by
 Government Will Render Law Less
 Effective.
 Washington, June 14.-A careful ex- animation of the substitute proposed by the committee or agriculture of the house of, representatives for the meat inspection amendment of Senator Rev. ridge to the agricultural appropriation bill was made this afternoon by Pres ident Roosevelt. The president, it can be said, is opposed to the house sub stitute in its entirety. He may not go so far as to veto the bill if it should be enacted by congress with the house amendment attached, but he has made it clear that he does not deem the house provision at all adequate.
 MT. Wadsworth of New York. chair man of the house committee on agri- culture, had a conference late this aft ernoon with President Roosevelt re- garding the action of the house com mittee He submitted to the president the substitute for the Beveridge amend ment agreed upon by the committee. The president told him frankly that he disapproved of 1t absolutely.
 The president indicated the specific points on which he disagreed with the majority of the house committee. He pointed out that the failure of the com mittee to provide for inspection at all hours of the day or of the night, was a defect, and he urgently disapproved also of the court review clause of the substitute. The president did not lay special stress upon the proposition of the committee that the government should pay the expenses of the inspec- ton, although he feels that, if the gov ernment is required to pay the inspec- tion charges, the provision will render the law less effective than otherwise it would be.
 After his conference with Chairman Wadsworth, President Roosevelt wrote letter to him. stating, in a definite and formal way, his objections, this being done that the presidents position might be distinctly understood on the beef record. No copy of the letter was made public.
 It is regarded as possible by the pres ident that congress may enact meat inspection law along the lines marked out by the house committee. If such a measure should be enacted the presi- dent does not say he would not approve of it, but if he should sign it, he would append to his signature memorandum which would indicate definitely and un- mistakalbly to the country that he re- garded the law inadequate and unsat- isfactory.
