BARRIERS
OF City Again Talk Of Reducing Price
Of TonsoriaI Necessity at Meet

Of TonsoriaI Necessity at Meet
ing on February list.
About two months and half ago,
proprietors OF local barber shops put
In effect q new scale OF prices Tor
customers. The principal change was
that shave, instead OF costing ten
cents was advanced to fifteen. After
the new scale went into effect, tho
money stringency came on also. and
the effect of the raise In prices has
been that many OF the shops are act
ually taking in less money than they
did when the old schedule OF prices
was In existence. Speaking on the
question, prominent local barber
stated TO News reporter yesterday,
that the new schedule was put into
effect TO be tried for period OF three
months and at the end Of that period,
by a majority vote the price OF
shave could again be reduced, TO ten
cents per. The BARRIERS felt that in
asmuch an the cost OF living had
raised and that other lines OF Industry
were receiving advanced prices, that
they too were entitled to some share
OF the so-called prosperity, but, Just
about the time that the scale went
into effect, men were thrown out OF
employment by the hundreds in the
industrial districts of the city, and
II appears that the raise in prices
came at a very inopportune time.
II have no doubt" continued this

SAVE THIS.
Put it in Some Safe Place, for
1t May Come in Handy Some
Day.

Here is a simple, homemade
mixture as given by an eminent
authority on Kidney diseases, who
makes the statement in a New
York daily newspaper, that it will
relieve almost any case of Kidney
trouble if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease. He states that
such symptoms as lame back, pain
in the side, frequent desire to uri-
nate, especially at night; painful
and dlscolored urination, are read
lily overcome. Here is the recipe;
try it:
Fluid, Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla, three ounces. Take tea
spoonful after each meal and at
bedtime.
A well known druggist here in
town is authority that these ingre-
dents are all harmless and easily
mixed at home by shaking well in
bottle. This mixture has pecu-
liar healing and soothing effect
upon the entire Kidney and Ur;-
nary structure, and often over
comes the worst forms of Rheuma-
tism in just little while. This
mixture is said to remove all blood
disorders and cure the Rheumatism
by forcing the Kidneys to filter
and strain from the blood and sys-
tenn all uric acid and foul, decom-
posed waste matter, which cause
these Affections. Try it if yol
aren't well. Save the prescription,

conventions, assert their indopend-
ence and forever break the yoke Of
Official control. I favor the nomi-

believe he is the most available

First lie is the unanimous
choice of the Republicans Of his
State.
"Second-He IS a man ofaval.cd
integrity, spotless record, great
ability and will not antagonize any
element of the Republican party.

and effective service for the success
of the Republican ticket. (Some
prominent Republicans in Indiana

"Fourth-The people Of Indiana
did more to assist us in that cam
paign than those of any State il

"Fifth-lIr. Fairbanks is the
intimate friend Of Mr.. Roosevelt,
and any attempt to make the con-
trary appear is unfair and unjust
to both those distinguished parties"

Nominated.

This State in Last Twenty
Years Laid at Door Of
Federal 0t.iCehCiderS.

sued statement at Frankfort on
March 2 which puts him at the
head Of the Fairbanks forces in
Kentucky. While he declares him
self unequiYocaily for Fairbanks,
he thinks Cannon or Hughes could
win if nominated, while Taft would
carry the party down to defeat in
November.
Governor Bradley bitterly de-
nounces Federal Ofiiceholders and
holds them practically responsible
for every important defeat the Re-
Lpublicans have suffered in Ken
lucky in the last twenty years.
COY. BRADLEY'S STATEMENT.
During the contest for United
States Senator | felt, as the nomi-
nee of the Republican party, that |
had no right to endanger success
by cOmplicating that race with my
preference for the nominee for
President. Despite absolute ST.
lence in this matter, the active
friends of Mr.. Taft aside from
those in the General Assembly, and
a few others, gave no aid or COM
fort, some of them doing what
they were able to do to defeat me.
Now that the contest has been hap
PLY ended | feel that the public
has the right to know my position.
The recent financial troubles,
which unhappily have not been
wholly relieved, viii, Of course,
whether Justly or not, be charged
upon the Republican party, just as
the Homestead riots were charged
upon it in 1902. Notwithstanding
Mr.. Harrison had given one of the
most superb administrations the
country had ever experienced, and
that neither he nor his party were
responsible for those riots, the
Republican party went down to
defeat.
I'VE might as well appreciate
the fact now that we shall have no
walkover in the coming Presiden-
tial contest. Ii, therefore, be-
hooves the party to exercise great
caution in the selection Of Presi-
dental candidate.
Judge Taft is man of winning
personality and signal ability, and
would, if elected, make "A great
President. But while this is true,
it seems evident that his election is
by no means certain. With the
labor unions and Negroes against
him it is exceedingly doubtful
whether he could carry the States
of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, New
Jersey, New York and possibly
others. There can be no hope of
carrying Kentucky, West Virginia
or Maryland. So far as the Cen
trial and extreme Southern States
are concerned, it is well known
that not single electoral vote can
be had for Mr.. Taft or any other
Republican. Besides it is plain
that the last mentioned States are
controlled alone by Federal office
holders.
The Federal ofliceholders in
Kentucky have never failed wi en-
controlling the party in the State
to accomplish Democratic sue
cess.
Nov the Republican Federal
officeholders of the State, with few
exceptions, are banded, organized
and earnestly loboring to carry the
State for Mr.. Taft. Should they
succeed they will lead the party to
another defeat.
II sincerely hope that the Re-
publicans of Kentucky will rebuke
these self-constituted masters, and
see to II that the boys in the

BLOOD WILL FLOW
SO Predict Members of the Leg
iSiatare, Unless Relief Comes
to Tobacco Growers.

We clip the following from re
port of Legislature doings on
Feb. %:
Kentucky is near to being del
uged with blood and stands on the
verge of condition which will
IN Ike the previous raids of night
riders seem but child play, ac-
cording to speeches which were
made in the House during the
discussion of the McChord tobacco
bill. The prediction was made
that unless something is done to
check the depredations of the to-
bacco trust and relieve the con-
ditien of the tobacco growers, the
people will take things in heir
own hands and plunge Kentucky
into riot and bloodshed. John L..
Smith, of Kuttawa. and j. H.
jackson, of Owen county declared
that the people have been ground
down long enough and will soon
make the past raids of the night
riders look like the acts of a child
by compar; with what they will
do hereafter.
The McChord bill puts the to-
bacco companies under the police
power of the State and meet with
opposition from the independent
tobacco dealers manufacturers and
the trust.
GO AFTER THE TRUSTS.
Three members of the House
spoke on the bill or rather against
the American Tobacco Company.
The speakers devoted their time to
a description of the suffering and
troubles which have been inflicted
on the people of the State by the
great tobaccol trust. w. c..
McChord, the author of the bill
devoted most of his time to telling
of the organization of.the farmers
and of their hard struggle
Mr.. Smith told what would be
done by the tobacco growers, dec
laring that they are ready to lay
down their lives and wade in
blood to win their cause. He said
they would stand together and I'M
less something was done to protect
them they wouldlsprotect them
selves and blood would flow in
Kentucky.

GREAT SORROW.


AT Cleveland, Ohio, March 4,
lpenned in narrow Railways, jam
med up against doors that opened
inward, 1876 children in the suburb
of North . Collinwood were killed
by fire, by smoke, and beneath the
grinding heels of their panic
stricken playmates.
The awful tragedy occurred
Wednesday morning in the public
school at North Collnwood. At
10 O'Clock "Wednesday night 165
corpses were in the morgue, six
children were still unaccounted for
and all the hospitals and houses fol
two miles around contained a mum
Der of children, some fatally and
many less seriously injured.
All of the victims were between
the ages of six and seventeen
years. The school contained be-
tween 80 and 325 pupils, and only
about eighty are known to have
left the building unhurt.
The schoolhouse was of brick
two stories and an attic in height.
The smaller children had been
placed in the upper part of the
building. There was but one fire
escape, and that was in the rear of
the building.
There were two stairways, one
leading to a door in front, and the
-9ther to a door in the rear. Both
of these doors opened inward, and,
it is claimed, the rear door was
locked. as well.
When the flames were discov-
evered, the teachers, who through
out seemed to have acted with
courage and self-possession, and
TO have struggled heroically for
the safety of their pupils, mar
shaled the little ones into column
for the fire drill" which they
had often practiced.

FLAMES STOP THEM.

Unfortunately, the line of march
in this exercise had always led to
the front door and the children had
not been trained to seek any other
exit. The fire came from a furnace
directly under this part of the
building.
When the children reached the
foot of the stairs they found the
flames close upon them, and so
swift rush was made for the door
that tightly packed mass was
piled up against it.
The children at the foot of the
stairs attempted to fight their way
back to the floor above, while those
who were coming down showed
them mercilessly back into the
flames below.
Most of those who were killed
died here. The greater portion of
those who escaped managed to turn
back and reached the fire escapes
and the windows in the rear.
What happened at the foot of
that first flight of stairs will never
be known. After the flames had
died away, however, a huge heap
of little bodies, burned by the fire
and trampled into things of horror,

Some Details of the Making of the
Andes Photographs.
The Andes photographs of Mars were
made with a large planetary camera
which carries with it an simplifying
lens, says L. c.. Slipher in the Century.
The camera vas fastened to the lower
Il of the large telescope of eighteen
inch lens and each Of the many little
images shown on the plates was taken
separately. The telescope was ad-
justed so that the planet was in the
center Of the camera field; hen the plate
holder was placed in the carrier of the
planetary Gamers and set in position fer
the frStimage. the slide then being drawn
from the plate holder. A bulb in the
right hand opened the shutter Of the
camera, allowing the light from the
planet to fall on the sensitive plate.
Then a bulb in the left hand shifted
the plate a quarter of an inch for the
succeeding image and SO on through
the entire series of images taken on one
plate. Sometimes the plate was ar
ranged to shift from right to left ano
sometimes in a vertical direction.

made at night, virtually no light except
that from Mars reached the plate, and
the latter was not ~incapacitated by one
exposure from receiving other sensitive
impressions. About half an hour was
consumed in taking the sixty images
on some of the plates and eight or ten
plates were exposed in n nights
work. In all about 10000 negative
images were taken.
AS the best seeing occurs in
flashes the successive images on the
same negative may differ somewhat in
wealth of finer detail to the skilled
eye all show the larger canals with re-
markable %clearness, though the more
delicate details are lost in reproduc-
ton. Of the 10000 separate images
OF the planet none is destitute of canals
and in some cases as many as twenty
five or thirty canals have been counted
in a single image. Several of b pre-
viously observed double canals show
their duality on the plates taken dur
ing the intervals of best atmospheric
conditions.
