ant Evening" Entertainment.

The United Confederate Vet
erans had an old fashioned walk
ing match at the rink at Madison
vile last Saturday night that
was a very enjoyable affair, not
withstanding the attendance was
small. Saturday night is said to
be very hard time 20 get a
crowd at any sort of entertain
ment at Madisonville. Twelve
or fifteen veterans participated
in the match and created a great
deal of amusement by the varied
style and mixed gates adopted
in the contest. Messrs. Stevens
and Mon tgomery were adjudged
winners of the race. The judges
were not just certain how the
rest of the bunch finished.
Something near 800 were re-
alize by the ladies in charge,
which viii go to the monument
fund. The sale of three cakes
brought the bulk of this amount.
The Madisonville cake was sold
for S25. The Darlington and the
Mortons Gap cake each brought
$50. M. Cain bid in the Nor
tons Gap cake and Paul M.
Moore did the bidding for the
Darlington confection. Miss
Prather, Mrs. Kinchelow, little
Miss Winnie Hart and Others
provided vocal aud instrumental
music to enliven the evening.
Choice refreshments were served
to everybody present.

along that line more than Tom
did.
The presence OF President J.
b. Atkinson, Secretary Geo. Q.
Atkinson, Supt. Harms. and
other mine officials at the great
Law and Order meeting adj
dressed by Gov. Wilson at
Madisonville, Saturday, showed
conclusiYely on which side they
stood, and is evidence of the fact
that the business interests of the
county and state are becoming
aroused to the necessity of hav-
law and order prevail at all
times.
Mine Inspector Tom Long
spent last week among the Green
river mines. He seems to be
well pleased with the work, and
the only fault he can find is that
he is kept away from home so
much, but Tom knew beforehand
what to expect along that line
and, of course, has no kick COM
ing.
Alonzo Bar6ee, one of the
Hecla mine force, was severely
hurt by falling slate last week,
and at one tins when he lay I'M
conscious, he was thought to be
seriously crippled. But under
che care of DR.. Nisbet he is COM
ing around all right, aud will
soon be able to resume work.
Gilbert Deshon, who works IN
No. II mine, had his face badly
lacerated last Saturday. While
attempting to jump out of a Car
IN the mine, he struck some coal
that projected out and which he
knew was there, but was mis-.
taken in the location. For a
time it was feared that one of
his eyes was injured, but we are
pleased to say that snch is not
the case.

REWARD FOR The
WALKER MURDERERS
Gov. Wilson Denounces the
COwardIy, Inhuman Murder.
CALLS ON CITIZENS TO EMO
LYNCHING. MURDER AND ARSON.


Frankfort, Ky, Oct. ~: Gov.
Wilson this morning offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of any one of the band
of fifty men that killed David
Walker and his wife and CHILDREN
at Hickman, Ky, few days
ago. In the reward prOclama-
nation the Governor says:
"If two or three men had gone
to this poor cabin and murdered
the family the crime would have
shocked humanity with its rev.
citation Of increditable wicked
ness, brutality and dastardly
cowardice. That a large nnm.
ber--some fifty meu-jOlned in
such a crime multiplies the cow
ardIce and wickedness fifty
fold aud make s every member
of the band guilty of murder in
the first degree-the basest,
wickedest aud most coWsrdly,
inhuman murder conceivable in
mortal mlnd.n
"This crime aud the stain on
Kentucky of the murder of four
helpless prisoners at Russell
vile, both by bands of night
riders, Is an outgrowth and the
logical result of the federation
Of night riders' crimes in the
large districts OF the State, only
one removed from civil war, and
the very safety of our iustitu-
tions and what we have of civil-
zation is involved and the only
salvation for the name. honor
and character of Kentucky is for
the whole people to rise up in
mighty to save their liberty, mp
hold their law mercilessly, put
down murder, arson, intimida-
ton and prescription wherever
they dare show themselves.
"The Governor does not appeal
to the people, but calls upon
them to assemble in their re-
spective neighborhoods IN the
counties, to organize and take
stern, prompt and effective
measures, punish every cOwardly
scoundrel who rides the roads
to threaten his neighbors, to
put an immediate end to
lynchlng, murder and arson and
calls on the local authorities in
each county to be earnest and
vigilant, offers them the whole
power Of the State, or as such as
each shall need, for the instant
arrest and punishment of all
guilty of these crimes, and do
everything possibly to clear the
name and honor of Kentucky of
the shame and disgrace of such
crimes.

"TRIP MADE TO 0REENylLLE
BY RELAYS FOR NIGHT MEETING.

MadisoUville, XIV. Oct 10 -
Governor Wilson was given
magnificent ovation here today,
lasting from the time of his arri-
val at 8 O'Clock this morning un.
til the close of his speech at four
this afternoon, when he was
rushed into a carriage aud ac-
compsnied by party Of friends,
started for twenty two mile
drive in relays across country to
Greenville where he is scheduled
to speak tonight.
The Governor was met at Ev.
ansville by committee and at
the tram on arrival here, and by
a large number of Republicans
and Democrats who escorted
him to Col. w. l.. Gordon's Of
flee. Here a continuous recep-
tion was held throughout the
morning. Many Democrats call
ed on him and assured him that
they were with him in his
stand for law and order. Del
egatiOns were there from
Webster, Christian and Muh-
lenberg counties. The Taber-
nacle was crowded to standing
room only and the Governor had
his audience with him from start
to finish. The applause was I'M
stinted and general upon all
things touching Law and order
and his political speech was Civ
en- a most hearty reception.
The Governor and party were
entertained at luncheon by Mrs.
John b. Harvey, wife of the Re-
publican county Chairman.
Two bouquets were presented
to the Governor at the speaking
by two young ladies, one bouquet
being sent by Republicans and
the other by Democrats. The
Governor spoke strongly for
John q. Worsham, Republican
candidate for Congress, saying
that the best possible reason for
voting for him was that all the
night riders in the district would
be found voting for his opponent.
At the close of the two hour
speech Gov. Wilson was almost
overwhelmed by his hearers who
wanted to shake his hand. Prac-
tically the entire audience NOV
ed to the platform as one man
to grasp his hand and express
their endorsement of his positive
stand in defense of the Kentucky
Home. The baud played "My
Old Kentucky Home" while ev
erybody gave the Governor the
right hand OF fellowship.
The Klub Kentuck Cornet
Band furnished inspiring music
for the occasion. Although this
band has been organized but a
few weeks they did excellent
work. 1t is fact that the band
had never before attempted to
play while marching but they
performed this feat quite credit
ably. Darlington is now proud
er than ever of her band.
The party at luncheon with
Gov Wilson was Jno. b. Har-
vey, W. l.. Gordon, John h. At
kiusou, Walter Thompson, Geo.

CONSUMPTION
AND TYPHOID.
Enormous Annual Financial Loss
as Well as,Loss Of Life.
WHAT USE or PURE DRINKING
WATER WILL ACCOMPLISH.

Washington, Oct. 12.-PrOf.
Irving Fisher, the eminent polit-
ical economist of Yale Universe
ty, who in one of his papers be-
fore the recent international
tuberculosis Congress in Wash
ington declared that consump-
ton costs the people of the
United States more than bill
ion dollars year, is preparing
an exhaustive report for the ma
lional Conservation Commission
which will contain only these
figures but similar data rot on the
economic loss to the country
from all other preventabIe dis
eases.
At the Tuberculosis Congress
Prof. Fisher declared that 1885,
600 persons die of consumption
every year. The cost Of medi
cal attention and the loss OF
earnings before death average at
last $2,40O, he SAID, while if to
this Is added the money that
might have been earned with
health, the total loss in each case
is about $4,000. He pointed out
also, that the disease usually at
tacks young men and woman Just
at the time when they are begin
ming to earn money and cuts off
their earning power for about
three years on an average, before
they die.
This subject of the economic
value to the country of gener-
al raising Of the average hoaltR
came up in the Governors Con-
ference at the White House in
May. DR.. George NJ. Kober in
in his speech on the "Conserva-
tion of Life and Health by I'm
proved Water Supply" as the
conference presented figures
which showed that the decrease
in the "vital assets" of the conn
try through typhoid fever In a
single year is more than $780,
100000. Typhoid is spread by
polluted water largely SO that the
death rate from this disease can
be directly reduced bv the puri-
ficatiOn of city drinking water.
DIR. Kober quoted statistics to
show the increased value of the
water to the city of Albany,
where the typhoid fever rate was
reduced from 104 in 100, 900 to
26 by an afficienU filtration plant
amounts to s475,000 a year, of
which $35O,OOO may be consider
ed a real increase to the vital as
sets of the city. Census Bureau
figures show that the average
annual death from typhoid in
cities with contaminated water
supplies was reduced from 69.4
per 100, 900 to 1913 by the sub
stitution Of pure supplies.
DR.. KOber cited estimates
showing that the average length
of human life in the sixteenth
century was between 10 and 20
years, and that at the close of
the eighteenth century ID was
a little more than 30, while to-
day it is between 80 and 40
indeed, the span of life since
1880 has been heightened about
six years.
