The Way the Winds Blows.

BonfOrt's Wine and Spirit Cir. cular for June has this to say of the growth of prohibition senti. ment in Kentucky: There is lit. tie doubt that the Anti Saloon League, the PrOhibitionists and the members of the w. c. T. U. would rejoice as they have never rejoiced before if the state of Kentucky, the great headquar- terS for the manufacture of bour bon whiSkey, could be placed in the column of prohibition states by an amendment to it's constitu. tion. That the distillers and dealers of Kentucky should keep an eye on the situation here goes without saying. If the people of Kentucky should become con. vinced that a prohibitory law would be beneficial to the state. it would be an easy matter, un- der decisions rendered by the various courts in the past, to con. tiscate all the distilling property of this commonwealth, and as these properties represent many millions of dollars, and as the moral victory for the prohibition cause would be stupendous, we think that our trade owes it to it. self to be fully as wide awake as the other side, etc.

The First Great Lighthouse.

The Pharos of Alexandria, which was considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world, on account of its grandeur and utility. is perhaps the first lighthouse of which we have any definite description. It stood on the island of Pharos, at the entrance of the harbor of Alexandria, and IS said to have been constructed about 300 years before the Christian era oy Sostratus Cnidius. and was dedicated to the Gods protectors of the saie- guard of sailors" The height Of the original tower is given as 45O feet but Josephus writes that the light was visible at a distance of about S4 miles. This would have necessitated a height of about $50 feet.

The deceased had been In very deli

to his room until the past two
months. Toward the last he realized
the fact that his days on earth we're
numbered and made preparations for
dissolution.
Judge Elder died at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. George Smith, where
he has made his home for the past
few years, Saturday morning, Dec.
IA, 1907. AT the time of bis death
he lacked but few months of being
seventy.five years OF age. The funer-

the last sad rites for the dead. The
interment took place at the cemetery
southeast OF the city.
Thomas Elder was a native of
Pennsylvania, where he grew to man
hood and secured the education which
fitted him for life's battles. In his
early manhood he started westward

where he taught school. Later he
went to Oregon where he followed
school teaching for a livelihood, but
as to length of time he stopped at
either one of the above mentioned
places we are not in position to say.
