building of the Courier. journal and

was completely Quilted by fire, which
started IN the elevator shaft at !

forms were going IN for the first
edition Of the Courier.
The flames spread with great rap
ldity, the printers being compelled
to rush from the composing room
just two minutes before heavy sky

The reportorial and editorial forces
continued steadily at work until the
flames compelled them to leave
The Herald and Post placed their
plants az the Courier-Journal : dis
posal and the paper was issued from

simultaneously.

cord on unbroken publication.
The Times was issued from the
Herald plant
The walls of the building are in
tact, but the interior is Quilted. The
presses, linotype machines and other
mechanical equipment are thought
to hav, escaped with comparatively
small damage, however They were
covered with tarpalins.
The statue of Geo. ID. Prentice,
for years a landmark, also escaped

The stores in the building were
practically burned out, as were the
numerous Offices.
1t is hard to estimate the loss at
present, but it is placed at 5000, 900
and may go higher.
The building will be restored or

The PHILIPPINES At Home
Twenty-Five Savages from the Philip
pines TO be Exhibited al the
State Fair.

\ glimpse of the Philippines at
hsme-a typical igorrote Village,
% primitive wild people living just
as they are found today in the almost
impossible mountains of northern
Luzon--is the rare treat which is
promised the visitors to our State
Fair this fall.
The results of the United States
war with Spain is now matter of
history known to every schoolboy,
yet few people can realize that there
are over 1000 islands in the group
inhabited by many strange people
speaking many different languages
and having a diversity of customs.
The Igorrote Village will exhibit
with some detail the actual life of
one of the primitive peoples found
among the mountains 300 miles
north of Manila. The natives will
be found living in their straw-thateh-
ed huts, manufacturing their spears,
headaxes, and pottery, weaving cloth
and making pipes. Sham battles,
spear throwing, making fire by fric-
ton, and many other features Of
their tribal life will amuse and en-
terrain both old and young.
The lgorrote is an eater of dogs,
"a hunter Of human heads, and
pagan in religion, yet he is very
| hkable in character and is noted for
his honesty, industry and good
humor.
The little brown people should not
/ be neglected by those who wish to
see man in his primitive simplicity.

portiers, table covers, mats, picture
frames, ETC., made from the corn
plant. Not only will she do this,
but she will, upon request from now
on until the Exposition opens, give
directions and suggest designs for
making these articles. The Corn
Exposition realizes that many arti-
cles for making the home more at
tractiye and comfortable can be east
ly made from the material at hand.
Many women do not know how to do
this.
1t is the idea OF this exhibit to
teach women how these articles can
be made. Mrs Morse desires to
Great an interest in this work, and to
get the women of the country to pre-
pare an exhibit of articles of this
character. To do this, application
should be made at once to Mrs.
Morse for instructions then work
should be started without delay.
The articles prepared for this ex-
hibit should be sent by express, pre-
paid, to the National Corn Exposi-
ton, Coliseum Building, Chicago,
to arrive not later than October 3rd
There will be no entry fee, and Mrs.
Morse is planning to offer prizes for
the best exhibits. This is a splen-
did opportunity for the women of the
country to become familiar with
work Of this kind.

This city was visited Monday al

that has struck this locality for
years. The day, from early NOM

elements seemed perfectly at rest.
Scarcely breeze stirred, and the
sun shone down with merciless IN
tensity on the perspiring heads of
the just and the unjust alike.
Late IN the afternoon a cloud
gathered in the west and rose up
toward the city, accompanied by a
remarkable display of electricity.

IL Is reliably reported from inside
sources that the West Kentucky will
expcnd about $50, 900 in opening
. new mines aud building this new
railroad to Cascyyille.
All of this is bound to have a
great effect upon the town of Clay.
Clay has a good graded school aud
people are moving IN there to get
the school advantages.
The West Kentucky Coal Co. has
made drillings in various places over
the coal field near Clay, consisting
OF about 1000 acres, and in every
instance the coal was found to be
regular and as fine as is taken out
in Western Kentucky.
The mines of the Blackwell Go at
their new opening near Clay on the
NJ. II A. are now in operation and
the coal is of fine quality. New
men are put to work as fast as entries
can be driven, and in another year,
extensive output will be made.
