NEWS OF KENTUCKY


Dawson, KY, Feb. 1.-While Mrs.
Ohio Beshear was putting a kettle of
beans on the fire to cook at her
home at Handy Station. her cloth
ing caught fire and she was so badly
burned that death resulted about two
o'clock in the afternoon. When her
clothing caught fire she called to her
husband, who was in the back part
of the room, to come to her rescue.
Mr.. Beshear is almost blind and
could not locate her at once as she
kept moving about the room, but sue
ceeded in throwing some water upon
her which did not extinguish the fire.
She rushed to the bed and set it a
fire, also, ana soon after son-in-law
rushed in and succeeded in putting
out the fire. but Mrs. Beshear was so
badly burned that she died in the af-
ternoon as stated above.

Platinum,

A prominent French N writer de-
plores the vanishing stock of the
worlds platinum, says, the London
Globe. Al 1.-The known deposits are
becoming exhausted, and the price
is going up to the prohibitive extent.
In 1876 the metal could be bought
for 800 the kilogramme. Four years
later 1t had doubled; in 1901 it had
quadrupled, and today the price is
1920 per kilogramme, or twice the
price of gold. Even that is for crude
platinum. The worked metal is
twice as dear again. Considering
how many industries are now abso-
lutely dependent on platinum, the
question of replacing it by some real
1y efficient alloy or combination Is
acquiring vital Importance

Britain's Naval Strength.

Some official figures published the
other day in the London Times by
Sir William White indicate that at
the present time Great Britain's sea
power Is more than equa. to the COM
bined navies not of any two but of
any three countries in the world
The figures cited by Sir William
White cover the six years ending on
March 81, 1906. and compare the
tonnage of first-cbass battleships built
and completed for sea by the United
Kingdom, Germany. France and the
United States during that period.
Great Britain conTtructed vessels ag-
gregating S4s,3S5 tons; Germany,
143, 1922 tons; the United States, 101 =
210 tons, and France, 1926 tons. 1t
is obvious that the aggregate tonnage
built during the sexennial term by the
three countries last nemed fell short
of the tonnage created in the same
time in the United Kingdom by 5O,-
900 tons.-New York Sun.

HAwEsvLLE's PERIL.

Hawesville is a dry town, how DIR,
the liquor dealers of Cloverport know
best, for according to the Breckin
ridge News, Hawesville was on tn
verge of a panic-a sort of municipal
delirium tremens-when the higl
water terminated river and rail con
nections with towns of more liberia
views. But Cloverport came to TIN
rescue as shown by the following ex
tract from the News:
Hawesvilie got her booze all
right.
Hawesville came near having
a booze famine last week, caused
by the food, but Cloyerport
averted the catastrophe, by furn-
ishing it in wagon loads.
Good old Cloverport, with all
her faults Hawesville loves her
still.
Cloverport had the booze and
f1dWcSNHle Hdu Ont tuliol, diiV
when the local supply of the
stuff that paints mems noses
gave out and the floods stopped
railroad and boat traffic some en-
terprising and accommodating
Cd saloonkeeper had an idea;
it could be toted In wagons
across the country from Glover
port. And Hawesville got her
booze.
But let II be said to Hawes-
vihe's credit that she does not
endorse the liquor traffic, as was
shown in the local option cleo
ton last fall when Hawesville
and Hancock county went dry.
1t was just some fellows who
wanted to put in fun time dur
Ing the last days of the saloon.
Anyhow, Hawesville got her
booze.

Skidoo Stick the Latest Craze in

notches.
To those persons who have been
initiated into the final degree of the
Order of skidoo Sticks, It is known
how to make the cardboard reverse
its revolutions and without stopping,

Skidoo Stickl The latest thing.
School boys will make them. Girls
will be crazy about them. Old men
win gaze with raptured amazement
at the mystic revolutions of the card
board square on the end of a stick.
Mechanics will ponder over the laws
of friction and gravitation which
make the simple act of rubbing the
notches on the stick with a round
pencil, cause the cardboard square
to revolve.
"Twenty-threel IT'S the secret of
the stick. On the stick are twenty
three notches, evenly made. Twelve
on one corner, eleven on the opposite
Twelve and eleven are twenty-three.
Skidoo sticks are easily made.
Hard wood is preferable but even
soft pine will do. Anybody can make
them. skidoo sticks are all the rage
in the east. They had gotten as far
as Cincinnati when drummer
brought the secret to Paducah. They
came from the east but everybody in
Paducah will be from Missouri until
the secret is learned.
Here's how a slSidoo stick is made;
Take a square piece Of wood a foot
long, about a half inch to the side
Out one end off squarely and evenly.
Then on one corner of the stick cut
twelve notches quarter of an inch
deep. Begin the notches half inch
from the end of the stick and cut
them the same size until you have
cut twelve. Be careful that the
notches are plumb true.
Then on exactly the opposite cor
ner of the stick cut eleven notches
beginning half inch from the end
of the stick and the same size as the
notches on the other side. When
that much of the skidoo stick is COM
lpleted, the notches will be the mys-
tic power that causes the cardboard
to revolve. Use an ordinary pocket
knife to white out the notches. A
barlow is hest because the spell seems
surer when barlow is used
The last operation is to cut piece
of cardboard, as thick as shoe boz
cardboard. about one inch and hald
or three quarters square. Pierce
this piece of cardboard exactly IL
the center with pin and stick the
pin into the end of the skIdoo stick.
Stick It down firmly into the skidoo
stick. Whirl the cardboard square
around with your finger until It turns
easily on the pin.
90 There you have the complete ski
doc stick.
To make that square revolve Of IT.

A FARMERS VIEW.

A Graves county farmer writes to
the Mayfield Messenger in the follow
ing vein:
1--WE are taxed and taxed and al
ways will be. We now have a road
tax.
LET that be as il may, we have
this tax to pay and as l think very
poor prospect of ever having any
thing like good roads. We have mad
the dirt roads always and we know
they are a failure and always will
be.
"You may work them when you
will and how You will the same thing
will continue to exist, especially at
this season of the year-bad roads.
It does seem to me that the people of
Graves county will become so dis
gusted with our dirt roads or rather
our mud roads that they will be
ready to do away with them entirely
and have them graveled. something
that will be permanent and lasting,
one that will be as good in January
as it is in June.
81 believe IL we will do away with
the present system OF road working
and,as the Messenger has frequent
ly stated, bond the county, say for
100000 for 80 years, and have our
roads graveled, which l believe will
be cheaper and no DOUBT by far the
best. think the times demand such
roads when we take into considera-
ton the vast amount of travel that
goes over our public Highways, not

WIEBOLDT
FATHER AND DAUGHTER MAY BE
IN PADUCAH.
Chicago Reporter Supposed to Have
Interviewed Her ms She Was
Boarding Train.

Are W.R. Wieboldt and his daugh-
ter. Martha. in Paducah?
Chicago detectives believe that the
man, who burned his own furniture
store at 1902 Belmont avenue, Chica-
go, did not commit suicide. as was re-
ported, but that he and his daugh-
ter, Martha, implicated with him,
came to Paducah to the home of Mrs.
Emma Hale, who holds a mortgage
on the store.
The story that they committed SUI
icide by jumping in the lake was told
by another daughter Agatha.
The condition in which the furni-
ture store was found after the fire
was extinguisned Indicated beyond
doubt that it was set on fire. All
through the building cotton blankets
saturated with coal oil were laid in
long train, and in some places cot
ton signs and excelsior we're stacked.
wieboldt lost large sums speculat-
ing, and he was heavily involved. He
stock was fully insured
A later special from Chicago states
that the young woman was inter
viewed by a reporter as she was
boarding an Illinois Central train for
Kentucky. She said her father killed
himself.
Mrs. Emma Hale. wife Of ]. X.
Hele, has lived near Grand Rivers for
two years but her relatives believe
she has no friends by the name Of
Wieboldt in Chicago.
1t is said his daughter, Martha, was
seen to board a train for Paducan
Wednesday.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUE.

Another year has passed and the
paducah Commercial club has grown
in influence and effectiveness; but
the membership has not increased In
proportion to the Importance OF this
institution The fault lies to some
extent with the members themselves,
as we have many times pointed out.
All business men have as much as
they desire to attend to in the man
agement OF their own affairs. Amy
additional burdens are avoided with
a persistency that hardens with years.
II the business man sees that others
are attending to certain public and
civic duties devoNing on volunteers
in the community, he will let ii go at
that, cooperating when the exigency
demands anything of him, but con-
sistently stunning the assumption of
any future obligations. Progressive
citizens took hold of the Commercial
club and in the face Of discourage
ments have made it an institution
for the commercial good OF Paducah.
Others, seeing them doing this, with
a gracious lack Of envy truly altruis-
tic, have permitted them to continue
in the good work, neither aiding nor
positively hindering their efforts.
Now, there business men, who have
not been participating in the active
work of the organization, could be
brought in If every member of the
Commercial club would pledge him
self to secure one new member this
month. That would double the men,
bership of the organization and give
Paducah a Commercial club of the
size the city merits, and of power and
influence many fold multiplied. There
Is rot a member of the club unable
TO secure a new member and until
a PROSECUTING campaign is undertaken
the growth of the organization will
be slow, though its present strength
is maintained.
Hundreds OF little things. that un-
done would have proved embarrass-
ing to the city, have been accomp-
lished quietly and much as a matter
al coarse by the Commercial club
during the year. The entertainment
OF capitalists and business men. the
furnishing of information to them
concerning the city; the answering
to the Industrial welfare Of Paducah;
the development OF enterprises yet to
be fulfilled. which the breath of pub
licity might now put to death-ah
these things come clearly within the
province OF such an organization, and
they have cost hundreds of dollars.
not a cent of which was wasted.
Through its agency the MeCracken
County Farmers institute was organ
lied, and by the cooperation of both
the organizations the state farmers
institute for the western district was
held in this city for three days. 1t
was through the active efforts of the
Commercial club that the immigra-
ton convention was held here, the
starting OF a movement that promises
mucsi for the Development OF this
section.

Gobbler Knew Her.

greensboro, KY, Feb. Jesse
Mcintyre, of the Yelvington neighbor-
hood, was presented before Justice
Rodman yesterday on warrant
charging him with having stolen four
turkeys from Mrs. e. L. Lyons. He
waived examining trial and was held
over to the grand jury under bond of
$50.
The prosecution would nave I'M
|dertaken to show some unusual
proof, including the Identification or
Mrs. Lyons by one of her turkeys.
The turkeys were at the produce
house of Miller Bros. Mr.. Lyons went
to the establishment. pointed out
four turkeys which he said were his
and said they had been unlawfully
taken from his premises near yell
vington. His ability to identify his
turkeys among so great number was
called in question. WELL" he said,
"my wife can come here and call that
gobbler and he will answer her."
Mrs. Lyons did come and, stand
ing in front of the turkey pen called.
"Gob. gob!" That was the name of
the gobbler. He ran to her immedi-
ately and ate corn from her hand. At
least, this is what the prosecution
said they could snow. They did not
have an opportunity, however, as Nc
Intyre waived examining trial. He ex-
ecuted bond and returned to his
home.
