The Lodges.

The Knights of Pythias had an en-
joyable meeting Tuesday night, APP
ril, %, and there were twenty-five
members present The rank of Page
was conferred on two strangers, the
rank of Knight on one candidate and
one petition for membership was re-
ceived. Let us have one new petit
ton every meeting and Rough River
10 will be the best in the State.
Brother, call on the X. of r. & S. for
pamphlet on the origin, objects and
aims of the Knights of Pythias and
give 1t to one whom you think Is
worthy to take the ranks of Knight
hood. The growth of our lodge de-
ponds upon the individual efforts of
each member and you can surely de-
vote a little time to an order whose
mission is one of love. Don't falter,
but do your duty.

PROBLEMS WORTH STUDYING
Those Who Pooled Received
SIPS Net on Leaf
And LugS.

According to my promise to the
Ohio County Union l herewith submit
a statement of sales of tobacco pooled
at Beda, KY, 1906 crop, and have re-
solved same into three separate prob
lems Problem No. l on A, y and
c leaf and Tugs that sold at 10c,
problem No. 2 on redried trash that
sold for 6 9-4c, problem No. on win
ter trash that sold at 4c. In sub
hitting these statements l begin
with 1000 pounds delivered at pool
ing house and make a deduction of
8 ga per cent. for re-drying.
PROBLEM NO. 1. g.
A, B and G., leaf and Jugs upon
which 4c per pound, $40 per 1000 was
advanced. 81 per cent. of the advance
$32.4O, per 1000 was received by pool
er on final settlement. This added to
the advance, $40, makes total receiv-
ed on 1000 pounds, $72.40. From L.
900 pounds deduct s ga per cent. for
loss in weight which leaves 912 1-2
pounds, total amount sold. At 10c per
pound it brought 1925, from which
take $72.4O, amount pooler received
will leave $1S.S5 which divided by
912 IL pounds gives $2,065, cost for
handling 100 pounds, or $2O.65 cost of
handling 1000 pounds.
PROBLEM NO. 2.
Redried trash, which sold for 3-4c
per pound, upon which advance of

made. 81 per cent. of the advance,
$16.20, per 1000 was received by pool
er on final settlement. This added to

weight, which leaves 912 IL pounds,
total amount sold. At SAC per pound
it brought S61.59, from which take
$500, amount pooler received, leaves
$3.50, which divided by 912 1-2 gives

This added to the advance $40 makes
total received on 1000 pounds $3.50.
900 pounds at cents per pound
amounted to $1,000, from which take
$3.50 total received by pooler, leaves
$21.9 cost of handling 1000 pounds of

$1,000 A WEEK CLERK
GETS Si75,oo0 PRIZE.
Bought Up Oil Lands for EN-
plOyer Which Melted
Nice Sum.

Newark, Ohio, April 27.-Edward
B. Everett of this city and August
Bush of st. Louis, Mo-, have sold their
interests in the Illinois oil field to the
Standard Oil company for $75O,OOO
The property formerly owned by the
two men is located in Lawrence coun-
ty, Illinois, between Bridgeport and
Iawrenceville. 1t comprised about
1000 acres in all, of which they retain
about 1000 acres. This is one of the
best oil territories developed recently.
Everett, it is said, recently drilled in
the largest oil we'll found in Illinois.
The two men owe their fortunate i'll
vestment to the foresight of one of
Busch's confidential clerks in his office
at st. Louis. The latter had heard
from Illinois relatives that small oil
wells were being discovered near
Bridgeport and took it on his own
iniative to make several investments
in real estate in the neighbOrhood for
his employer. When the millionaire
brewer investigated the investments
made by his clerk and saw how valu-
able they were, he quietly bought IN
the big tract in the vicinity which they
have now sold for almost a million
dollars.
AS a reward for his foresight Busch
presented his S10>a week clerk with
check for $4,000.

roundly for his heroism.
The incident took place a mile south
of Porter, Bourbon county. Engineer
f. M. Smith noticed a runaway horse
approaching a steep embankmet.
Gray leaped from the engine, vaulted
the fence and caught the horse as he
was on the brink of the embankment.
AS the horse stopped a woman jumped
out of the carriage. She was about
to thank Gray, but he left her too
abruptly. He caught the rear coach
of the train and returned to his post
at the fire box.

MYSTERIOUS WOMAN f.
Who Rides Astride and
With Dogs.
OFTEN STARTLES THE NATIVES
With Her Strange TrappingS
"A Sad Story is Be-
-
hind II All.
The Elizabethtown News says:

After a silence of several months,
the mysterious woman with the dogs
is again galloping overKentucky. A
few days ago the citizens of Hawes-
Vile, in Hancock county, were sur
prised to see a young lady riding
astride and wearing a brace of re-
volvers in her belt, gallop into town
on a black pony. With her she had
a number of dogs. She halted only a
few minutes to inquire for a doctor,
and riding up to his office, dismounted
and went in, leaving the pony and
! dogs standing in the street. A few
minutes later she came out, mounted
her pony and rode off again. 1t was
learned, however, that she went a
few miles from the city and camped
for the night Since that time she
has been camping and taking her
meals at the farm houses near by.
She would give the newspaper cor
respondents no interview, but to a
farmer at whose house she had been
taking her meals she told the same
plaintive story of her life that was
published in The News when she was
frequenting Hardin county last sum-
mer She told the story of her moth
er's death in the great city Of New
York, and her father moving toTexas,
where he became a large ranchman
A year ago, she said, she and her sis
ter, being accustomed to open air life
on the ranch, concluded to ride
through to New York to visit their
mothers grave. She told of their
planting a rose bush, her mothers
favorite flower, on the grave, of their
return to Cumberland Gap, where her
sister was shot and killed, and made
incoherent statements about her sub
sequent wanderings.
The young woman is no doubt de-
ranged, and her life is pitable. Much
interest was taken in-her when she
passed through this city, and coun-
ty a number of times last summer on
her wild and apparently aimless ram
bles.
The. Hawesville correspondent de-
scribes her as she now appears:
while showing the marks of hav-
ing been out in the weather, she is
still refined, and of type of beauty
rarely seen. She is small in stat
ure, has dark hair which she wears
flowing down her back, and her eyes
are of violet hue with long black
lashes that denote kind disposition.
Her smile displays a row of pearly
teeth, she is graceful in action and
has form that would make chorus
girl turn green with envy. She is
very modest and unassuming in her
manners, and her speech denotes re-
finement and education"

FIGHTING
NOn-UniOn CirCuses Now
On the Road.
CONTEND FOR A UNION LABEL
On All the Big Posters Used
One Show Straight
ened Out.
The Evansville Courier says:

The Pawnee Bill and Barnum and
! Bailey circuses not only have a fight
on among themselves but they are
encountering opposition from the ty-
biographical unions in every town
where they show. A committee from
the Evansville union is busy collect
ing all the Autographs put out by
either organization that can be OBJ
talned. The paper will be stamped
with the unfair" tags -of the union
and returned to the home offices of
each company
The Barnum and Bailey company
had its Autographs printed in the Of
fices of the Courier Lithograph COM
pany, Buffalo, N. Y, a non-union
shop. When the strike was called in
the plant of the Buffalo company the
International Typographical union Of
ficers and the locals from all over the
country wrote to L. E. Cook, advertis-
ing manager of the circus, asking the
company to have its work done by
union printers. The Evansville union
was one of the locals to make the re-
quest and it is asserted by the local
officers that the reply was to the eff
feet that the circus was entirely too
big to take recognition of union labor.
In every town where the circus
shows the printers do all they can to
prevent the non-union paper being
used. They cannot touch the litho-
graphs placed on the bill boards but
can prevent their friends from allow
ing the window sheets to be displayed
\ committee from the local union has
been busy gathering up the window
sheets. A big stack has already been
collected and more will be secured
When the circus has left Evansville
the paper decorated with the sticllers
used by members OF the union in
stamping unfair" work, will be sent
back to the home office of the circus
with the injunction that it will be
wise to recognize unions in the future.
Similar fights have been made
against circuses all over the cOun-
try, the union members being careful
to not violate any law or city ordi
nance but conducting clean fight for
their cause.
Iatar tho COuripr cayc.
That Pawnee Bills wild west show
was temporarily on the unfair list of
the local unions is due to the intensity
of the circus war which is now raging.
Following the publication in local
papers that the labor organizations had
put Pawnee Bill in the category with
the Barnum and Bailey circus, as un
fair to labor, agents of the wild west
Snowman flocked into town yesterday
to protect his interests and convince
allied labor that he was its friend.
1t was nearly midnight before Paw
nee Bits agents had convinced local
labor leaders that he had done them
no wrong. When the true facts were
disclosed the leaders We're prompt in
giving the show a hearty Endorsement
commencing it as a union amusement
enterprise and resembling all the
charges they had brought.
