which has been raised for use in the
preliminary steps. In this connection
it is also stated that there has been
formed an anti-Roosevelt alliance be-
tween Hartman, Hearst, the Rookie
fellers and all the Standard Oil mag
mates, and Mr.. Hartman is held up as
the leader of what is termed the most
stupendous political plot within the
memory of the present generation.
Before long the full details Of this
plot are likely to be given to the
public. The denouement, it was learn
ed Thursday, came at a private dinner
at which were several adherents of the
Administration. 1t was asserted at
the White House that the details I'M
folded by the representatives of the
combines were so startling in every

A Bumper Crop.

The cotton crop Of the South last
year at present price will place in the
pockets OF the growers approximately
$500, 600, 600. This vast sum will bring

viii Observe Law Absolutely.

The Hon. John f. DuBose. one
of the attorneys for the l.. q y. at
Bowling Green, gave out the fol
lowing interview to local optionists
everywhere in the State:
Mr.. DuBose, is there any truth
in the report that the L. & n. Rail
road Company will refuse to ship
intoxicating liquors into Bowling
Green if the town goes dry on the
9th of June Z"
Yes" he answered, lit is abso-
lutely true. If the town goes dry.
as soon as the result of the election
has been entered upon the records
we. as attorneys for the l.. & n.
will notify the railroad officials of
the fact and they will at once in
turn notify the agents and servants
or the company not TO transport
intoxicating liquors of any kind OF
in any quantity into the city of
Bowling Green or the prohibited
territory. no matter whether the
liquors are shipped from point in
this State or from some other
State. If by oversight whisky
should be transported into Bow
ling Green, the local agent will
refuse to deliver it, and return it
to the sender. The L. & y. wants
to observe the law. and will take
no chances in violating it. This
policy is now being pursued by the
company everywhere, and Bowling
Green will be no exception to the
rule"

hogs jowl, cured Kentucky style;
half bushel real turnip sallaa, fresh
aud tender, grown on Kentucky
soil: peck of old-fashioned water
ground and coarse-9round corn
meal, and a package of the bark of
sassafras roots for tea.

Mr.. Hopkins has it, is not ooS

mors gathered in long season of
cold weather from the coarse foods
necessary to supply sufficier t
caloric to keep the machine ran

the conscience and clear the mind.
But to get the best results there
must be on the same plate fresh
eggs poached.
