FLUE BLEW OUT
Of Boiler, Causing Death of One
Man and Mortal Injury of
Another.

One man Is dead and another is
lying at the point of death at their
homes at Knottsville as the result of
a flue blowing our in the Knotsville
flour mill and oveturning the boil
er, shortly before noon, Wednesday.
The dead man is John Birch, Jr.,
age6 twenty-one years, and the in
jrred man is Elias Logsdon, who is
about sixty years old. Very litle
hope is given for the recovery of
Logsdon.
Tile two men were engaged In their
regular work about the mill when
the accident occurred and were COW
erec with scalding water following
the. explosion OF the blowing out of
the flue. The bodies of both men
were horribly burned and the skin
fell off when the clothing was re-
mo?ed Drs. Early and Mcdonald
were summoned and dressed their
injuries as quickly as possible.
Birch was son of the owner OF
the mill and had worked about the
plant for some time. I.ogsdon went
to Knottsville a few days ago from
OwensbOro and his home is in Tell
City. Ind. No arrangements have
been made for the funeral of young
Birch.
.sfnis is the second time an explos-
ion has been experienced in this mill.
Four years ago an explosion occurred
in the boiler room, but no one was
injured. Several buildings were
damaged in the vicinity Wednesday
A piece of the flue was blown through
the wall of the residence of Mrs. A.
Rhodes, across the street froom the
mill. No one in the house was hurt.

.WOODPECKERS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Costly to Western Union
Telegraph Company.
DECEIVED BY HUMMING NOISE
They Bore the Poles Full of
Holes in Search for
Luscious Grub.

New York, June 6.-Red-headed
woodpeckers cost the Western Union
Telegraph Company thousands of dol
lars every year.
Have you ever put your ear against
a telegraph pole and heard the low
humming from the wires reverberate
through the wood? Well, woodpeck-
ers put their red Uopknots against the
poles. They hear the humming jus
as you do, but not being so highly
educated, they mistake the sound for
that made by grubs boring in wood.
Now, grubs look about as good to a
lean woodpecker as a Delmonico din
ner to a hungry tramp, and having
decided that the humming noise de-
note the presence of a square meal,
the woodpecRers set about TO dis
cover a way to corral it.
The fever of the grub rush began a
good many years ago when the first
telegraph poles were set up, and every
since the deluded birds have been
drilling holes in them trying TO dis
cover .he loctiaon of the humming
sound.
Every pole from the middle west
TO the Pacific coast has been honey
combed, and at a great expense the
Western Union company has pulled
them up and put new ones in their
places.
Il never saw anything like those
red-headed chaps" said an official OF
the Western Union yesterday. 81
have just returned from the West on
tour of inspection. l have seen
twenty-five foot telegraph poles with
200 or 300 holes drilled clear through
them. Some holes were big enough
for me TO put my hand through them.
climbed one and showed my arm
inside.
ut Is a continual drain on the
company, this supplying of new poles.
The birds eat them through in a few
months. Then it is dangerous for our
linemen 10 climb the weakened poles.
1t would be impossible to compute
the expense of replenishing poles
eaten up by woodpeckers. There is
hardly a wire holder from Arizona to
the Pacific not marked by the bills
of the birds. They seldom bore holes
in the Eas.. For some strange rea-
son they operate mostly in warm
States, chiefly in Arizona, Texas and
California"

WILL LIVE UP TO THE PLEDGE
Words of Encouragement for
y Growers of the Valu-
able Weed.

To the people Of the Green river
district The people in the other
counties are still asking what is Da-
viess going to do in regard to the
acreage. Mclean, by a vote of 80
to 30, agreed to support the new or
ganization provided the 10000 hill
system was made binding on all the
counties. What is Daviess going to
do? Although when the acreage
pledge were circulated we did not get
the desired 50 per cent necessary to
make the pledge binding, the work
was not then dropped, we are
gratified by the reports coming from
the solicitors, and instead of the 30
per cent wanted then we are now able
to show 100 per cent. VIII you Of
the other counties do as well. If you
will but do your part as well as Da-
viess then indeed will we now accom-
plish through the Green River Tobac-
CO Growers association, what we
hoped for under the glorious A. S. OF
E. but never succeeded in doing
namely, pool 80 per cent or better of
the 1908 crop. Every solicitor reports
the people planning to live up to the
10,0O0-hill plan. About one man in
4 20 will not abide by it but on the
other hand, three out of 20 will plant
less which will make the whole coun-
ty show zip even above the 100 per
cent WIN your county do as well?
We have all in the past been solicitous
about the big independents living on
the rich land around Greensboro ask
ing. What is he going to. do? / am
proud to tell you that he is not only
going to pool his 1908 crop but he
is living up to the acreage as well as
/ the best Of Equity men. Only one in 20
of those men may still act independ-
ent-not more-and he has not yet
refused to pool his tobacco this year.
While not every man is pledging his
tobacco right now, exceedingly few
say fatty that they will not pool but
leave the matter open for another
day. 1t is true that we have not made
the progress with the pledging that
we hoped to make when we agreed to
work Daviess county first, but you all
know how behind the farmers are
with their work, and how every man
and horse has been needed to rush
our farm work, and while two men
have been employed in each magister-
ial district so as to finish the work
quickly, but none of the IA men en-
ployed has worked constantly and but
three anything like full time, so that
two magisterial districts are untouch-
ed, several only partially covered and
on the whole one-half of the county is
} to be worked yet, but in spite of this
we have grand showing Of over
