WILD WOMAN
From Among the Cliffs Of Eastern
Kentucky, Appeared to Wood
chopper, Then Fled.

Lexington, KY, March 23.-Roam-
ing among the cliffs of the Kentucky
river, near Buena Vista, in Garrard
county, is a wild woman, who was
seen to-day for the first time by Tim
Peters, a farm hand employed by A.
d. Scott, postmaster of Buena Vista.
AS devoid of clothes as was Diana,
this unfortunate woman walked up on
Peters while he was at work chopping
wood in the forest of the Kentucky
river cliffs. The woman's hair was
brown, but disheveled; her finger
nails and toe nails were long, but her
features were even and her face was
pretty. Frightened at the supposed
apparition, Peters stood speechless
as the woman approached him, her
head nodding as If she did not see
him nor realize that she was In the
presence of a man. Peters called to
the woman to halt after she had come
within 10 feet of him, and, as II start
led by his voice, she wheeled and
ran off into the woods. A hound be-
longing to Peters pursued the woman
and trailed her to an unexplored cave
in a cliff in the forest.
Peters at once went to Scott and
reported what he had seen. Scott and
others went to the mouth of the cave
to explore it.
In the mud at the opening of the
rcave were the tracks of bare feet,
small and well shaped.
The cave in which the wild woman
has made her home has never been
explored. Legend has handed it down
that the cave is haunted, and on ac-
count of the superstition of the peo-
pie of the community, no party has
ever undertaken to go through it.
Peters and Scott have secured the
promises of number of persons
who, with guns, axes, ropes and Ian
terms, have decided to enter the cave
and capture the wild woman. She is
believed to be an escaped inmate OF
some asylum.

Mayfield, KY, March 23.--Ben Park
er was indicted and arrested to-day
charged with the murder of the mys-
terious man whose body was found a
few weeks ago in the ruins of the
Parker boarding house here. He was
also charged with arson.
1t is not known who the murdered
man was, but it is certain that he was
murdered, as a plain knife-wound ov-
er an inch long is in his heart, which
is now in possession of Dr.Dismukes.
The real clew to Parker's guilt was
the spending of a five-dollar bill In
Paducah few days after the murder
with spot of blood on it.

PRODUCE WAREHOUSE
For Equity People---A Few Timely
Suggestions Upon a Very
Important Matter.

Brother farmers, how long will we
continue to sell farm produce for
checks? How long will We neglect to
label our products with the union Ia
bel? How long will We continue to
peddle produce from house to house
and visit dozen houses, to find the
customer who is in need Of our pro-
ducts? How long will we be content
to take from 25 to 80 per cent. less
for homegrown products than the
same so-calledNorthern products bring
ON the same market when the only
real difference in the two consists In
the way they have been graded and
placed upon the market? One Is
thrown at the merchants feet without
being graded, sorted, washed or 9TH
erwise fitted for market and placed
upon the market without any regard
for the demands OF the market. To-
day the market Is over-crowded. Ten
days from now the consumer VIII
have to seek other markets to sup
ply his wants or do without until we
take another fit of marketing and
loading down our pockets with worth
less tin money, which is worse than
worthless to us anywhere else ex-
eept at the merchants door where we
unload.
The other is gathered together by
warehouses and cold storage rooms,
placed alongside ef the railroad track
and held in stock (or pooD until there
is a demand for it and then shipped
out on a moments warning at a price
from one-third to one-half more than
We get for the same product.
The difference in the profits in
the two methods is enormous. The
latter pays a handsome profit, while
the former rarely pays the cost OF
production. We do the work while
the other fellow does the business.
Our families often do without the
necessaries OF life and opr children go
without education on account of our
unbusinesslike way of placing our
products on the market. rEs
HOW long will present conditions
continue with us? Just so long as
we remain out of business with our
products. Did you ever know of a
merchant, banker, lawyer, doctor,
blacksmith, planning mill, flour mill
or any other branch of business on
the face of the earth that could do
business without a business house to
do business in? We can never get ouT
products together, neither can we sort
grade, label and put our products In
the condition that our trade demands,
until we have built a Farmers Pro-
duce House, centrally located amongst
our best customers, who number from
three to four thousand, or more, in
Ohio county, besides quite number
of hotels, boarding houses and towns
people and farmers who are consumers
of farm products other than the ones
they raise themselves.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA SOLD.
Like as Not E. n. Hartman Is the
BUYER.

NEW YORK, October 23.-That Oak
leigh Thorne has sold the Central of
Georgia Railway was a piece. Of i'm
portant financial news that slipped from
him unawares in an interview he gave
yesterday evening. Mr.. Thorne was dis
cussing the report that the stringency
of the money market had hit him heavily
at a moment when he had extended his
credit to the limit to carry on his various
business enterprises. two of the most re-
cent of which were the purchase Of the
Georgia railway and of control OF the
Colonial Trust Company. which Is now
run as a branch Of his Trust Company
of America.
There is no truth in that Mr.. Thorne
said Il have never been better off than
at the present time"
I'VE thought perhaps some of your for
tune was tied up in the Central Of Geor-
gia railway"
II am not in that any more, have
ITO the Rock Island people?''
No, not to them. l should rather not
say just now to whom have sold it,"
The Central of Georgia railway. which
has capital of $5OOoeoo' and operates
more than 1877 miles Of track. was con-
trolled until the spring OF this year by
interests associated with the Southern
railway. The Southern incurred a great
deal of criticism In the south on account
Of Its control of this line. which was
considered by many as competing road.
and negotiations were finally concluded
for its sale and the. sale of the steam
ship lines it owns to Oakleigh Thorne and
Marsden J. Parry. Since that. time
rumors were persistent that the steam
ship lines were to be sold to c. W. Morse.
