Mr.. BRYAN NOMINATED

Westward the star of the Empire
takes its way, and the gathering of
a great national convention in
Denver this week marks rather
long stride to the west. Stormy
weather prevailed during the open
ing days and caused the visitors to
make many jesting remarks about
the much advertised 365 days of
sunshine in Colorado. Record
breaking crowds attended and in
cluded in the throng were Presi-
dent Roosevelt's son and daughter,
several of Mr.. Bryan's children,
distinguished diplomats from for
eign countries, and celebrated men
and women from both parties and
no party at all. Denver's splendid
new auditorium was packed to the
limit on the opeing day but later
in the session the spectators grew
weary of the confusion and of
listening to a half dozen men
talking at the same time and there
were many vacant seats. A great
demonstration lasting one hour
and half was caused on Wednes-
day by the mention of Bryan's
name. The proceedings of Thurs
day while the committee were
trying to agree upon platform
were very tame comparatively.
Henry ID. Clayton of Alabama
was made permanent chairman;
Urey Woodson of Kentucky secre-
tary; and John | Martin, Missouri,
sergeant at arms.
After an all night session, w.
j. Bryan was nominated for presi-
dent at 3:34 O'Clock Friday morn
ing. 1t was nearly noon to-day
before the delegates began to show
up around the convention hall and
up to the hour of going to press
the nomination for vice president
had not been made.
Don't be deceived. Buy nothing
but American Field woven wire
fencing. 1t has the weight and
quality. The others are not in its
class.
A!amosa scored mark of
distinction in the success of its
cowboy band which cut such IA big
swell at the convention that
honorable mention was made in
the daily newspapers. And the
band is but little more than a
yearling.

The state bank at Amity, Colo,
was held up by two masked men
yesterday afternoon who compelled
the cashier to hand over about
81 LOCO. They then drove Cashier

front of them to the edge of the
forest where their horses were
hitched which they mounted and
escaped.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Filed Against the Hopkins
vile Stone Company.

Matt Gregg has filed suit against
the Hopkinsville Stone Co. for $500
damages. Plaintiff says in his pc
tition that he owns two houses near
the old work house, adjacent to a
stone quarry opened by defendant,
and that on Sept. and divers times
thereafter, defendants agents and
employees carelessly fired off heavily
charged blasts, throwing stones up
on his houses and cutting large holes
in the roofs. He further alleges
that his buildings have been render
ed dangerous to reside in, and that
on account of the danger his tenants
have vacated and that his own fani-
ly will have to vacate the premises.

The city of Paducah has a circular
design, with an Indian chief as the
central figure. Hopkinsville is the
most important, at least in the esti-
nation of the inhabitants, in what is
called the "Pennyrile Deestrict.
Some years ago the stationery of
the Hopkinsville Commercial Club
claimed that the city was The Pearl
City of the Pennyrile' and later one
of the drug stores was nSmed the
Pearl City Drug Store. just who
originated the term is not known.
Probably DIR. j. B. Jackson and
Councilman L. H.Davis had as much
to do with it as anybody.
The design was outlined by Mayor
Meacham and worked out by Mr.
F. B. Bush, of the Bush-Krebs Co.,
Louisville. While at Cerulean
Springs last June plants of growing
pennyroyal were gathered and
used by Mr.. Bush in getting correct
idea. AS finally completed the de-.
sign shows stalk of pennyroyal set
in button pearl. 1t is arched over
with a crescent Of pearls of different
sizes and shapes. The lettering ex-
plains itself The outer border is
a miniature representation of tobac-
co leaves. The date represents the
selection of the original site of Eliz-
abeth. Nov. 81, 1897. The name was
changed to Hopkinsville about 1903.

was filled with smoke and flames
and nothing but prompt action saved

by a soldier on duty and the depart
ment quickly responded and soon
put out the fire with chemicals and
some water. A chemical apparatus
handled by Fireman Ed Schmidt ex-
ploded, but Schmidt escaped injury.

Y. Owsley and Miss Katie Mcdaniel
have 81, 900 each, H. D. Wallace
$500 on stock and $500 on fixtures.

One Revises Circus Incense
and the Other Provides
Fire Escapes.
REPORTS SUBMITTED.
Some Important Matters are
Postponed Until the
Next Meeting.

The City Council held its regular
meeting Friday night with all OF the
members present.
The reports from the various de-
partments were received and filed.
The important business of the even
ing, the consideration of telephone
franchise, was postponed and minor
matters occupied the time.
The budget Of accounts allowed
was $527, the City Light Co.'S. bill
for August was S597, and the ex-
pense of building the Virginia street
sewer was 5000. Other bills paid
drought the aggregate up to about
Isl 400.
The City Attorney reported the
ordinance revising the licenses on
tented shows, which he had been or
dered to prepare. 1t makes the Ii
cense one dollar for each one cent
admission charged for general ad-
mission, highest priced reserved
seats, side show and concert. This
is about the same as the old license
schedule, except that it is made to
apply to all tented shows alike. Sun
Bros. show claimed to be trained
animal show and not circus and the
experience with them caused the or
dinance to be revised and clarified.
Another ordinance was passed
which requires all opera houses and
public halls to have suitable fire es-
capes and to keep red lights hang
ing on the various exits where the
escapes are. All such buildings are
to be subject to the inspection of the
Fire Chief at all reasonable times.
The Sewer Committee reported
that five bids:had been received for
the construction of sewer extension
264 feet long on Fourth avenue, at
prices ranging from $514 to 5000.
Consideration of the matter was
postponed.
The Mayor reported that the
trouble caused by the running of
sewerage from the canning factory
into the river had been partially
remedied. The drainage from the
factory was conducted into a sink
hole which had an outlet into the
river 200 yards away. The outlet
became stopped up and the sewer
age accumulated and finally a large
quantity ran into the river at one
time about ten days ago. A force
of hands was put to work ditching
the sandbars and creating current
to drain the river to the bottom of
the deepest places. The water was
turned black by the sewerage and
had a bad odor. About $50 was
spent in relieving the trouble. The
canning factory has been ordered to
abate the nuisance at once.

If your last springs crop OF calves
10 not look right and you fear that
they are going to prove Improbable it
is time to look around and see what
can be done to improve this condition
of things. The easiest and quickest
way to solve the problem of better
stock is to secure good male OF the
desired type In travelling through the
Northwest it is almost pitiable to see
so many herds where the COWS give
evidence of being at least fairly well
bred and where the bull that runs with
them looks like mongrel. The man
who will let the difference in price OF
S25 to $50 keep him from securing
good bull will never make a success
of the cattle business. In common par
lance the bull is half the herd and
where he is being used for grading up
purposes he is probably more than hall
the herd.
In times like the present, all farm
ers begin to realize the loss from feed
ing scrub animals and the only way to
improve this condition is to better your
breeding stock at once. The quickest
way to improve this breeding stock is
to get a good bull and do it now.
Spend a few days, if you have to, in
travelling until you find one that suits
YOU and then don't be afraid to pay
what he is worth. There are too many
people who buy good seed corn, good
seed oats and good seed wheat and are
willing to pay an extra price for 1t.
but on the other hand these same neo-
ple squeeze their pocketbook when
buying seed cattle. No man harvests
any better crop than he sows and the
man who starts with scrub bull can
hope to harvest nothing but SCRUB
calves and a loss of feed Get that
good bull now, feed him properly
through the winter and you will be on
the right road to have a better crop OF
calves next year

The parcels post is UP for consider
alton and should receive eur attention.
Generally the farmers are in favor Oh
II and the local merchants and express
companies are opposed to 1t. My own
convention of this matter leads me to
believe that it is a mistake on the
part of local merchants to oppose par
cells post. Their idea is that the par.
GELS post will stimulate the WORK Oh
the mail order houses in the large
cities to the detriment of the local
merchants. The English, who have
tried the parcels post for number OF
wears saw that it has largely built up
the local merchants. With the tele-
nhone. as we now have 1t in almost
all communities, people would order
MANY of their supplies and have them
delivered by the rural mail carrier. IL
would certainly be beneficial to local
merchants at the initial points OF the
free rural delivery and also to tnose
along the line. AS to the opposition
of the express companies, nothing else
could be expected. These companies
have amassed great fortunes by the
charge of exhorbitant rates. Some one
has said that there are five reasons
against the parcels post and they are
"the five express companies. AS Ine
parcels post is in operation IN nearly
all foreign countries it works haru-
shin on our own people. We can seno
an eleven pound package from Seattle
to London cheaper than we can from
Seattle to New York. Should this pc
so?

Fortunately in the warm irrigated
valleys of the Pacific Coast there is
rarely any need of stimulating fruit
fitness. Generally our trees tend to
bear too heavily. There is something
in the constant sunshine, the warm
volcanic ash of our soils and doubtless
in the judicious use of water that
tends to the early formation of fruit
buds. I believe there is a great prob
lem in how to use water so as to IN
crease and also to retard the forma-
ton of fruit buds. l have some things
to offer along these lines that will, l
think, be helpful to the fruit grower,
but l have not space to present my ex-
perience and observation now.
