NEWSPAPERS ONLY

diana, Business N1E1[u the
Future for Their AdV sins.

The Retail Merchants Associa-
ton of Newcastle, Ind, has placed
the ban on all advertising schemes,
and will have nothing 10 do with
programs, socalled business direc-
tories or other schemes devised to
separate merchant from his cash.
Newspaper advertising is recog-
nized as the only profitable pub
Iicity method and will be strictly
adhered to in the future. This
,lecision was reached after one
years investigation of results OBJ
tanned from various forms of adj
vertising.
A committee was appointed by
the Merchants League who kept
actual figures on the business done
by the merchants and traced to va
rious forms of advertising. The
only form of advertising showing
actual benefits was traced to lie
gitimate newspapers. Special
boom editions were condemned by
the committee and merchants were
urged to refrain from using them.
They are usually the products of
solicitors travelling from city to
city interesting certain class of
newspapers in their schemes ard
taking a per cent. of the profits
for their share in the work, spend
ing no money with the merchants
who advertised. The Newcastle
Merchants League recommend
that their merchants use Nnly the
bona tide newspapers published
regularly either daily, Sunday or
weekly. II

MOST reaRIsLE or DEATHS.
Spiders Bite Probably the Worst
Known to Scientists.

What is the most terrible death In
the world? The following are a few
OF the most terrible known to mortal
man. but as to which OF those given
is the worst it would probably be hard
TO say.
One Of the most agoniEiug deaths
known is caused by small black
spider half the size Of pea. II lives
In Peru and South Australia, but
few specimens have reached Europe
and America in ship loads Of lumber.
Not long ago q dock laborer while un.
loading a vessel in the Victoria docks
felt one upon his hand. This death
dealer dug its fangs deep into the
mans flesh. and as soon as the poison
began to work he tainted with pain.
He was dead in three days. This
Spiders venom scorches up the blood
vessels and spreads through all the
tissues, causing the most fearful az
ony q human being can have to bear.
The worst OF II ia that the victim
lives at least two days. The spider
is generally known ~ the "specky."
When q man who knows what the
bite means becomes the victim be
generally blows out his brains.
Another fearful death is caused BY
eating a grain called "bhat" This
sometimes gets mixed with rice. which
il resembles. The plant grows in the
far east, and q few grains of it will
drive q person into q state OF violent

Mayor GrinStcad.

Mayor Grinstead on Nov. 18th
took official control of Louisville
under auspices most pleasing and
promising of a successful admins
tration. In few words he out
lined the fundamental principles of
the new regime.
The enforcement of the laws was
given first place as being the in
spring motive in the past caIrl-
paign and the guiding star for the
future conduct of the city's gov
ernInent. The making and amend
ing of the avenues of traffic, was
also emphasized. The non-polisical

How Bears Play.

IN recently published work nat
uralist gives some interesting facts
concerning the playtime OF animals.
The bear is supposed by many to be
rather solemn animal. but he is
given to pranks at times, and even
INDUCES in antics that closely re-
semble games played by children
The naturalist observed three cubs
repeatedly playing a game very much
like tag. A cub would chase the 9th
ers, until he cuffed one with his paw;
then the one hit took up the chase.
It may be that the writer's magma
ton put more system into the play
than actually was there. However,
bears in geological gardens have been
known to turn somersaults, and they
take to dancing so readily that 1t is
easy to train them to take certain
steps.

Primaries at Expense Of State.

Albert Charlton, of Louisville,
Democratic hold-Over Senator, has
requested the preparation of Il
measure which he proposes to have
enacted into law by the next Ken
lucky Legislature placing prlma-
nv elections on the same basis with
regular elections. The law con-
templated is based on the Wiscon-
sin law governing the holding of
primaries, and will give the poor
man who aspires to office an equal
chance to enter primary with
the man of wealth.
He favors reform in the meth
cd of conducting primaries and by
the terms of the measure contem-
plated by him every party will
hold its primary on the same day.
at the same time, and in the same
place. 1t will provide for the
naming of election officers in the
same manner as that provided by
the law governing regular cleo
tons. A commission. composed
of one Democrat and one Republi-
can, together with the sheriff.
shall have the naming of election
officers in county election, and
at each voting place there shall be
two Democrats and two Republi-
cans to serve as primary election
officers.
ANY one who desires to
enter primary, shall have the
right, provided he presents pc
tition bearing the names of 800
people willing to support hin .
The law will do away with all as
sessments against persons desiring
to enter a primary, as the measure
now being prepared Will provide
that the city. county or State as
the case may be, shall bear the eX-
pense of all primaries. 1t will fur
49,. ,uor;lo that oil ,,,i,uarioC he
held not later than ninety days
prior to an election.
Senator Charlton cOatends thai
under the present arrangement
many a man is kept from entering
race for office because OF thu
fact that he is financially unable t
bear the expense attached to en-
tering a primary.

KILLING AT LEXINGTON.
Former Citizen of Mt. Sterling
fakes Part.

On election day a fight occurred
at Lexington resulting in the death
of two persons and the wounding
of two more.
w. K. Campbell, a lumber
dealer and Republican candidate
for Councilman was guilty of dis
turbance at the polls and resisted
arrest, but later submitted and

Draining the Everaia des.

After many years Of discussion
without any real action, the state OF
Florida has at last commenced the
work OF draining the great submerged
tract known as the Everglades. This
is TO be done by cutting q series Of
canals leading into rivers on both the
gulf and Atlantic slopes. The sec.
ton to bs drained comprises about
5.00e,0 acres, upon which there 10
very little timber or brush, eonss-
auently the work Of reclamation will
he comparatively easy, and it ia ex-
pected TO have several thousand acres
ready for cultivation and settlement
by December OF this year. Owing to
the latitude and the great richness OF
the soil, this land will be of great
value when thoroughly drained.

Men and Mules Required for Work In
the Mountains.

One Of the most interesting organi.
cations which took part in the man.
euvers at Camp Tacoma. Washington.
Of western troops under Gen. Freder-
lex Funston was the 18th battalion,
field artillery, Maj. c. A. Bennett COM
handing.
The battalion consisted Of the seven
teenth and eighteenth batteries, some
times referred to as 'jackass" batter
les, says Leslie's Weekly, because Of
the use OF mules. The battery pieces
are transported in sections on the
backs OF mules, the guns and carriages
being divided into four parts, making
four packs for the same number Of
animals.
This enables the batteries to be
transported through the most din cult
regions accessible to troops, and the
guns can be brought into action in
mountainous country. In the United
States army these batteries are com.
paratively new, but they received
their baptism in the Philippines and
have proved their practical value in
many skirmishes upon the eottas and
forts Of the Moros.
1t 10 surprising how rapidly the
mules are anloaded, the parts Of the
gun thrown together and the gun
loaded, sighted and ready to be fired.
At test Of the eighteenth battery
the men ran the mules back fifty
PAGES, unloaded and assembled the
gun and fred in 46 seconds. This was
a worlds record.
The work requires not only intelli.
gent but powerful men. The gun
itself weighs So pounds and the trail
the same. but the men handle the
pieces With ease.
The mules. too. are familiar with
the drill and perform their parts in
\ very Intelligent manner They know
their respective positions, and when
the load is lifted they Immediately
jump forward. 40 the piece can be
placed directly on The ground.
The gun used in these batteries hes
4 range OF from $500 to 1000 feet. II
hres q large she'll but has q lower
msxEle velocity than the larger fold
pieces. In desigu the piece Is some.
what similar to the screw" gun of the
British army.

At Mshony City, Pa, to the
great Joy of the community
Michael McCsbe. the miner en-

mine oil he was taken out limp and
weak, but still conscious, and APP

Average Corn Yield.

The average yield Of corn in the
United States is 20 bushels and the
average value per acre is eight dol
lars, from which the cost OF produc-
ing the crop must be deducted before
it can yield profit. There is not a
cent Of profit in the average crops OF
any kind. Average crops do not pay,
and average farmers are not content
with the average crop; they want the
best. The fault Of An average crop
often lies in the cultivation. Some
times it is in the land, and again 1t Is
in q season, but it more often lies in
the farmer himself

Pieged Only to the People.

Governor Wilson and his ticket
will begin their administration of
Kentucky's affairs absolutely free
from obligation to- any man o
body Of men other than the people
of the State. 1t is doubtful if a
party ever went into Office so indie
pendent of entanglcments as is the
victorious Republican party in
Kentucky. 1t has clean slate on
which to do its figuring; clear
field in which to carry on its
work of building up a great and
prosperous Commonwealth.
Not a corporation in the coun-
try can lay its fingers upon sin
gle contribution made to the cam
paign fund, and say for this we
must have value in protection"
Not a dollar of the money that was
spent for purposes of organization
comes from any tainted source.
For the first time in the history OF
Kentucky politics the Campaign
Committee of a successful party
throws open its books to the pub
lie and invites inspection. Not a
cent can be traced to any origin
that can cause the party embar-
ressment in its fidelity to the SER
vice of all the people.
The Republican officials are free
men. Nobody has any strings
tied to them- nobody can exercise
a stronger pull than the voters
who gave them their majorities.
This is most assuredly a cause
for congratulation. 1t means that
the ADMINISTRATION of the State
will be clean and honest. 1t
means an era in which Keatucky
will be first, last and all the time
the object of loving, loyal and pa
triotic effort.
The men who have entered
office in the full enjoyment of their
freedom can be counted upon to
maintain it through the years OF
their administration. Corrupt
lobbyists and grafters are hereby
given notice to keep off the grass
at Frankfort.
1t is surely the dawn of new
day in Kensucky when we Car
write thus of the men to whom
our affairs ase entrusted, and defy
hostile criticism to prove 1t other

may be. during the Republican re.
