A Bomb from the Sky.

Interesting details have been
gathered by o. c. harrington, of the
Field Columbian museum, concerning
the meteor which exploded over
Scott county. Kan, on the night of
September 2, 1905. 1t is calculated
that the explosion occurred near
Tribune, in Greedy county. but the
fragments fell at Modoc, Scott coun-
ty, about forty miles farther east.
The area over which the stones were
scattered is about seven miles long
by two miles wide. The flight OF
meteor was from west to east, and
the largest stones have been found
near the east end of the area above
mentioned. The heaviest stones
yet picked up weighs II pounds
Many fragments weigh but few
ounces.

cording to this authority. these little
organisms sent into the Niagara
river from the sewers of Buffalo
take the tremendous leaps over the
great falls and pass through the
fearful turmoil of the rapids and
whirlpools beneath with little or no
harm. But after they have reached
the placid waters of Lake Ontario
they rapidly perish, and almost en-
tirely disappear. This and many
other similar facts were adduced to
show that quiet and undisturbed
water is far more fatal to bacterial
life than the most violent agitation
in contact with atmospheric air.
Hence the official in question argues
that the storage of water in reser-
voirs is an excellent method of free
ing it from microbes.

Will Leave Saturday Morning for
Trip to Niagara Falls
and Toronto.

Last Fridays Owensboro Inquirer
says: Miss Annie Moreland will leave
on Saturday morning for a trip to
Niagara Falls, Toronto and Thous-
and Islands, being the same trip
taken by the winners in the Inquirer

Miss Moreland would have gone if
she were not i'll at the time. as she
was winner in district No. s. She
was taken sick with fever and her
physician would not consent for
to go. though her ailment was of a
mild type. She was given her
choice, by the publisher of the In
auirer, of the trip at the expense OF
the paper. of selecting another to
whom she could sell or transfer,
or the cash value of the trip. She
chose the last named. She will be
accompa MED by her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. David Moreland. and her
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. I.
Quisenberry.
Miss Moreland resides at Nocreek
in Ohio county. and is most attractive
young estimable woman and proved
in the contest. to be extremely pop
ular. Her many friends regretted
that she was too i'll to go with the
Inquirer party and that the party
could not be delayed for her, but
they will all join with the Inquirer
in wishing she may have profitable
and enjoyable journey with her rel
atives.

TO CLOVERPORT
viii the M. II. & E. Railroad 60
Says President H0l-
man.

The Madisonville, Hartford a
Eastern Railroad within five years
will be running into Cloverport.
President Holman, of the NJ. H.
& E., made the statement to Mr.. D..
A. Barry. of this city, who went to
Madisonville to see President Hol-
man as a representative of the Clo-
verport Commercial Club. The road
is now being constructed to Mitchell,
where it will JON the branch of the
Henderson Route. The new road
will run it's trains over this branch
into Louisville until the line from
Mitchell to Cloverport can be built.
There will be but two miles of the
road bed of the Breckenridge Camel
Coal Co., used. The route of the
new road will be from Mitchell to a
point very near Tar Springs where it
will join the Breckenridge Canal Co.,
rood bed. The new track will run
along this route into Cloverport
where it will connect with the l.. H..
& St. l.. The new road will be eX-
tended TO the levee at the river
formerly used by the Breckenridge
company. This extension will be
made for the shipment of coal South
by means of the Ohio river. By the
time the road into Cloverport is COM
pleted there will be a nine-foot stage
of water on the Ohio river thus al
lowing coal fleets n av igat o n
throughout the year.
The new road will be primarily a
coal road. Its purpose is to furnish
an outlet for the vast coal fields
through which it will have its rout-
ing. This coal will be brought to
Cloverport and shipped South and
thence to the Panama Canal. 1t
was stated to the News by q party
who has become acquainted with
ideas of the M. II. & +. officials that
their intention is to open up coal
field which will compete with coal
field of Pennsylvania in the market
for the Panama Canal coal supply.
They claim they can bring coal to
Cloverport and ship it to Panama
cheaper than the firms at Pitsburg
since the distance is a very great
deal less. The coal fields they in.
tend to open will of course be virgin
and the supply will be inexhaustablt
for many years to come. The Off
Gals cited the fact that it would bt
much cheaper to bring coal to Clio
verport and load il on coal fleet
than it would to haul it to Louisville
load it there and bring it down thu
river again.

For Babies on Sleeping Cars.

When travelling with baby in a
sleeping car, insure good nights
rest for yourself and the baby, not
to mention your fellow travellers, by
putting him to sleep in the little
hammock which is to be found in the
berth. This procedure is practicable
for all infants under one year of
age, and is the only absolutely safe
sleeping place for them. Provide
yourself in advance with piece of
cotton rope two feet in length.
With this one end of the hammock is
to be made fast to the lower end of
the chain or cable by which the up
per berth is suspended. The other
end of the hammock is left on the
hook by which it usually hangs. The
hammock is thus suspended diagon-
ally across the berth; now put in
two pillows end to end. These serve
the double purpose of spreader and
bedding. If the hammock is strung
tightly, it will swing clear of the
person sleeping below. and the
rougher the road the more the ham
mock swings and the sounder the
baby sleeps. Good House Keeping.

serve five days notice for eviction

MYSTERY SOLVED.
New Suspect of Schafer Muir

Wrong Girl Killed in Effort to
Rid Man of His Para
m0ur.


the great mystery surrounding the
murder of Sarah Schafer. the pretty
young school teacher at Bedford.
Ind, January 81. 1904, has at last
been solved is the belief of Prosecu-
tor Benedict and Marshal Myer. of
Bedford, and of the local detectives
who have under arrest Ernest Tank
sley, charged with kidnapping Nellie
Rainey from her home at Helton-
Vile. Ind, eight miles from Bedford.
The girl was with him when he was
arrested. Hewas married man
and his wife and three children at
Heltonville.
Three years ago his alleged Illicit
relations with the Rainey girl be-
came known, and he left home and
went to Bedford and worked there
in the hope of hushing up his dis
grace 1t is believed he decided the
best way to clear the family of dis
grace was to kill the Rainey girl.
He wrote her letter asking her to
meet him in Bedford at certain al
ley on the night Of January Il. 1904.
II was at this point and time that
Sarah Schafer was dragged down
the alley. stabbed and killed.
DUPLICATE or MISS SCHAFER.
The Rainey girl is pronounced a
duplicate of Sarah Schafer IN APP
pearance and the police believe that
Tanksley simply made mistake in
the woman and killed Miss Schafer
while thinking he was getting Miss
Rainey out of the way. The night
was dark and such a mistake could
easily have been made.
Tanksley returned to his room
that night with fresh bloody scratch
Is on his face. His room mate, Earl
Hunter. asked him how his face had
become bruised. He did not reply.
Late that night he awoke his room
mate by poking bundle of clothes
into the stove. Hunter asked him
what he was doing and an evasive
reply was given.
LEFT REDroRD WITH GIRL.
Last fall Tanksley left Bedford.
and at the same time Miss Rainey
disappeared from her home and
was not heard of again until arrest
ed. Recently Miss Rainey's father
turned over to Prosecutor Benedict
of Bedford, number of letters
Tanksley had written to Nellie. His
object was to have Tanksley arrest
ed for kidnapping the girl. Among
these letters was the one making the
engagement at the alley in Bedford
The prosecutor connected Tanksley
with the Schafer murder at once
and soon untraveled the whole skeir
of evidence.
Tanksley and the girl were arrest
ed here in rooming house. He re
fused to talk to the police. The CIR
tried to tell the story that they had
been married. She made a state
ment to a newspaper reporter that
she knew Tanksley was wanted In
Bedford for some change other thar
kidnapping.
There is another charge which
can be bought against Ernest" she
said, "of which he has been living ir
terror ever since we left Bedford
If this charge is brought against
him it will be terrible for him to
bear, and will cause the greatest
sensation. ] will commit suicide
rather than tell what ! know"
Tanksley and the Rainey girl were
taken back to Bedford Marsha
Myer, where the man will stand tria
for his life for the Schafer murder
