Mountain advocate., 1908-10-09

Last Monday afternoon the
audience room of the courthouse
was crowded and many were
compelled to stand while they
listened to the strong. cOnvinc-
ing argument of DR.. Ben l.. Bru
ner, Secretary of State, as he
discussed the issues of the Ma
tiunal campaign.
DIR. Bruner is recognized as one
of the leading orators of Ken
lucky, and has a reputation
throughout all the adjoining
States as we'll for his ability
to handle the issues of his party.
He drew comparison between
the times as they existed during
the administration of Grover
Cleveland and the times that
have followed since.
He explained the difference
between Democratic panic and
a Republican panic. He showed
the cause for each and explained
what brought them about.
He showed the danger Of al
lowing the Democratic party to
again get control of the national
affairs and appealed to every Re-
publican to do his whole duty at
the coming November election.
DIR. Bruner is a word artist,
and his picture of his friend in
Louisville who voted for change
i'm 1892 was so touching that it
brought teaIs to the eyes of many
in the audience. He said friend
of his in Louisville, who had a
comfortable home, a happy wife
and three bright eyed children,
and who was machlnlst by trade,
decided in 1892 that the country
needed a change, that the peo-
pie were paying too much for
what they consumed, so he
voted for a change and Oleve-
land was elected. lie got his
change. Shortly after Cleve-
land was inaugurated he can e
home from the shop and told his
wife that the shops would only
work half time, and he was idle
three days out of the week.
In a short time he came home

A VISIT
To TO Reservoir and Sum
nit of Knox Gem
Fountain.

Last Sunday afternoon a party
of ladies and gentlemen started
out to visit the new reservoir
that is under course of construc-
tion, which, when completed, is
to hold The supply of water for
our water works.
The afternoon was an ideal
one and the party enjoyed the
trip immensely. The tug Of
clim bing the mountain was tire
some, but when the summit WAS
reached the scenery that met
the gaze was such that all fe t
amply repaid for the labor of as
canding to the point where such
a delightful view of our city and
surrounding country could be OBJ
tained.
Looking down upon our little
city nestled as it is beneath the
sheltering towers Of mountains
on all sides while the Cum ber
land river meanders it's course
through the city and touches the
skirts of the mountains over
shadowing it, makes scene that
is indeed pleasing to the eye of
any lover Of nature, while on ev
cry side the foliage which has
taken on a varlgated hue from
the touch of the finger of Jack
Frost added to the enchantment
of the scene.
After leaving the immense
basin that is being prepared as o
reservoir our party ram bled
hither and thither admiring the
scenery on all sides and en-
joying the pure bracing noun
tain atmosphere, stepping from
one huge stone to another and
crossing fences, and picking orr
course passed by a-rude log hut
erected on the mountain side en-
entirely out of sight of civiliza-
tion on everv side, going on we
at last reached the pinnacle or
summit of Knox Gem.
From that point we had very
commanding view of the entire
surrounding country, and as far
as our eyes could look we could
see the unbrOken chain of the
Jum berland range until it faded
away in the distance to blue va
por and smoke.
After looking until we were
all tired we started on the de-
scent which seemed more haZ-
ardous than the ascent but final
ly all reached the valley beneath,
safe and sound but footsore and
weary from the long and tedious
trip, but agreed that it was one
of the most delightful trip we
have enjoyed this season
Those who made up the party
were Mrs. James d. Black and
two daughters, Misses Gertrude
and g orgia, Mrs. W. M. Ba-
ker and granddaughter, Miss
Virginia, Mr.. aud Mrs. A. w.
Hopper, Mrs. w. H. Mcdonald
and Mr.. and Mrs. d. w. Clark.

Child IS BITTEN
BY A MAD DOG

The little daughted of Mr.. ]. w.
Hawley, who lives near the cemetery,
was bitten by mad dog, or dog
giving every indication of being mad,
yesterday afternoon.
The mother and little girl were pass-
ing some negro houses near the ceme-
terry when the dog appeared to show
signs of hydrophobia. The mother ran
on the porch of one of the houses call
ing for help and tried to get the child
in before the dog attacked her, but
was unsuccessful.
The dog, which it is said belonged
TO Mr. Hawley, began suddenly to snap
its teeth, to foam at the mouth and to
have fits.
1t attacked the little girl and bit her
on the leg and on the back. The ne.
groes went to the rescue and beat the
dog off and it was finally shot and
killed by John Mcdonald.
! The little girl was taken to her home
and Drs. Dill and Carter were at once
summoned to give the child needed
medical attention.
II is not absolutely certain that the
dog had hydrophobia and for the sake
of the little girl, it is hoped that the
| dog only had fit or at least had no
gone mad. . In the latter case, no one
knows how many dogs might have
been bitten.
immediately after the dog wa
killed Mayor Donald had the dog
head cut off and it was sent to tn,

DECORATION DAY
A LEGAL HOLIDAY

Tomorrow. May 80, is national dec
Grafton day and as the day is made a
holiday by the national government,
the postoffice and the banks will be
closed in honor of the occasion.
The regular national decoration day
is not very generally observed in the
south, but an earlier date is.
One reason for this is that in. the
south the flowers bloom so much
earlier that it is not necessary to wait
until such a late date TO decorate
graves, but in some places of the coun-
try flowers are even now difficult to
get except at fancy prices from hot
houses and an earlier date could
not be well observed in the north.

Easy to Swallow Raw Egg.

Raw eggs are bloodmakers and may
be taken in any way one wishes. The
simplest method of getting them down
is to take shallow wine glass, put
in a drop of clear lemon juice and
then break the egg in this, taking care
not to injure the yolk. Over this put
about four drops of lemon. scattered,
to make the egg go down easily with
one swallow This is readily accom-
plished If the head is held back and

WOULD REMOVE ALL
CLAY STREET POLES
ANGELS FLIGHT PROPERTY
OWNERS AROUSED
High Buildings Thanking Narrow
Thorouehfare Argue Against
Overhead Wire Extension
In That Section

Owners of property fronting on Hill,
Cla.' and Olive streets between Second
and Fourth streets will on Monday ask
the city council to GAUGE the removal
of telephone and lighting wire poles
now standing on Clay street, opposite
the Angels flight.
Their claim is that Clay street is but
twenty feet in width, is improved on
both sides with buildings set close to-
gether, many of them extending several
stories in height.
Two new buildings fronting on this
street, one four and one six stories,
have been erected in the past year and
another of seven stories is in course
of construction.
Owing to it's location in proximity
to the business center there is a large
amount of teaming and traffic on this
street. These huge poles occupy space
which would be otherwise used fol
pedestrians, and there is hardly room
for two teams to pass each other. Pc
destrians as a result are obliged tC
walk out in the street and dodge pass.
ing vehicles
Are Overhead Obstacles
Strung as they are with numerous
wires the poles are an interference
with free light and air. as well as an
obstacle to vision from apartments of
buildings fronting upon the street.
These wires. charged with high volt
age of electricity for power as well as
telephone and lighting purposes, owing
to their exposed condition, are not only
dangerous to life but menace to the
safety of adjoining buildings, 1t is
claimed. Especially would this be true
in case of fire. In case of a sudden
conflagration their presence would
seriously obstruct and hamper the fire
department in its operations in a mar
row street of this kind, which offers
the only means of access to these large
buildings. On these grounds alone, the
petitioners say, these wires and poles
should be taken down.
Their presence in the congested
downtown district is not only an eye
sore to the street but a decided detri-
ment to the abutting property, espe-
cially where that property is improved
by expensive buildings.
Oppose Extensions
The property owners will also ask
the city council to take steps to pre-
vent the installation of any additional
poles or overhead wires on the new
extension of Clay street now being
opened and improved between Second
and Third streets.
Some of the principal property own
ers affected and interested are Rose

YOUNG FIGHTER FOLLOWS
"SIMPLE LIFE" RULES
Freddie Welsh Trains Hard for Battle
with Phil Brock - Goes
Through Bouts with
Energy

If Freddie Welsh fails to win his
fight with Phil Brock at the Vernon
arena Decoration day it will not be
because his training has been neglected.
Since his arrival in Los Angeles May
the young Englishman has been hard
at work preparing for the battle. He
has Away lived the Simple life" and
attributes his successes in the ring to
this manner of living.
The energy displayed by Welsh while
going through his usual routine Is sur
prising. A number of fight fans who
have watched many fighters train say
Welsh works harder than any they
ever saw.
Each afternoon he boxes several
rounds with his two sparring partners,
KID Carsey and oliver Astle. The way
the Young Britisher goes after his OPP
ponent is a caution. He keeps them on
the move from start to finish. AT the
end of the round Welsh appears as
fresh as when he started, while. his
partner appears to be tired out.
lin Gaines, manager for Battling
Johnson. Yesterday visited the training
camp near Vernon and watched Welsh
perform.
While the fight fans doubt that Welsh
could heat Cans, they believe the lad
Is equal to any white lightweight.
Phil Brock also is hard at work get
tine. into &C ndition for the contest. He
is a husky lad and has hard punch.
In his recent fights in Los Angeles he
showed the fight fans what he could
do and It is believed the fight at Ver-
non on Decoration day will be fast
one from tie start.
The boys are so evenly matched the
wise ones are unable to dope it out who
will be the winner.
