great that they are unable to fill
them with the present output.
If it was so he could transfer the
orders to the darlington mines
they would be promptly filled.
Reports say that quite a seri-
GUS hitch in the adjustment pro.
ceedings now pending between
the coal operators and miners of
Illinois has taken place, each
side strongly cOntending for i'm
portant concessions, and neither
willing to concede a point,
makes things look gloomy for an
early settlement.
Secretary Richard Salmon, of
the ilsley Mine, came over last
Saturday to attend the cOnven-
tion at Madisonville, He re-
ports thai orders for coal are
sufficient to keep all men en-
plOyed at that mine busy. The
voluntary shut down of the
Mines at Central City and other
points on the Illinois Cen .ral
Railroad has no doubt stimulat-
ed the trade at the nOn-union
mines along that system.
Ira Rea, a prominent en-
plOyee of the Daniel Boone
Mine, and brother of Weigher
Rea, of the Arnold Mine, has
been on the sick list for the past
week or two. He is spending
his time here with relatives. AS
one of the owners of that mine is
now connected with the Royal
Mine, Mr.. Rea might be trans
ferred to Madlsonville.
Foreman Wallace Crenshaw,
of Fox Run Mine, was over for
brief stay last week. He says
some increase in production is
shown since he took charge.
But he expects to get much
better results yet.
The change in the ownership
of the Royal Mines again shows
that there must be something
wrong. Evidently this is a val
liable piece Of coal property,

Convention on Saturday.
PAUL N. MOORE ENDORSED FOR
STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEEMAN.
Representative Thos. E. Finley Presided
Separate Sets Of Delegates for
State and District.

Pursuant to call of County
Chairman Jno. b. Harvey, the
Hopkins county Republican con-
vention assembled in the court
house at Madisonville Saturday
afternoon shortly after / o'clock,
and a large number of Republi.
cans were present from all over
the county.
Representative Thos. K. Fin
lev was elected chairman and
Henry Murphey secretary of the
convention and the temporary
organization was made perma
nent. The chair then appointed
u committee on resolutions
which retired to the jury room.
During the absence Of the
committee Taft literature and
buttons were distributed by
Paul M. Moore and several short
speeches were made, in all of
which the speakers endorsed the
candidacy of Secretary Taft.
The committee on resolutions
presented the following report
which was read by Letcher Il.
Fox and unanimously adopted:
The Republicans of Hopkins
county in convention assembled
at Madisonville. KY, on the
25th day of April, 1908, adopt
the following resolutions, Wis
Resolved, ,Flrst-That We heart
ily endorse the splendid admin
istration of President Roosevelt
and we, heartily approve the
great policies and just laws and
righteous principles lnaugurated
and endorsed under his cOurag-
eous leadership.
Second: We endorse the pres
ent state administration and give
our full support to the state
officials in their efforts to admin
lister the affairs of the common
wealth we'll and wisely.
Third; Believing that Will
liam Howard Taft has all the
qualifications, capacity and ex
perience which fit him for a tru-
ly great president, and feeling
that he is the proper representa-
tive of Republican principles
and policies, we declare that it
is the pleasant duty of Kentucky
Republicans to give that emf
nent statesman the instructions
of this state for the presidency.
Therefore we instruct the dele
gates here selected to act and
vote as unit upon all questions
for and in the interest of Taft.
Fourth: Recognizing in Hon.
p. M. Moore, of Darlington, KY,
a fit, capable and suitable man
as a member of the State Central

SO far it has not proven a glow
ing success. The company now
in charge is a strong one, finan.
clally speaking, able to make all
needed Improvements and the
mine a success.
Rom Salmon, of the Crabtree
Coal Co., made business
to Madisonville last Saturday.
No one can possibly accuse Rom
of attending a Republican con.
vention, yet it is not too late for
him to get on the band wagon.
Foreman r. N. Clark, of the
coke works, says only the short
age in the supply of slack pre-
vents him from doing a big bus
mess. The shortage IN coal or
ders also cuts down the produc-
tion of coke, as the amount of
slack produced is governed by
the run of the mines.
Supt. Harris, of the South
Diamond Nine, came down for a
short while last week. His men
all seem contented, although
only making about half time.
The sam e feeling seems prevail
generally at the mines of Hop
kins county, where work and
condition have been good for
years.
The mines of the county were
well represented at the Republi-
can convention held at Madison
vile last Saturday and as the
selection of proper leaders and
men worthy of support is of
vital Importance to all the
miners of this county should
take an active interest in con-
ventlohs and see that only such
men are nominated. The bal
ance of power is'in their hand
and they should exercise it.
Cashier Orr, of the Zelgler
mine and formerly of the Sham
Prock mine, was home on a visit
the past week, and, if all reports
are true, not only has that mine
under the management of w. l..
Gordon shown steady increase
in productien, but they have at
all times a ready market for
their output. So you can see
Mr.. Orr has a big payroll to
look after.
Supt. John Brasher, of the
Oakhill mine, thinks he will be
able to start up his mine this
week. Thus far since he took
charge he has been busy with a
force making many needed re-
pairs, one item of expense alone
being 5000 for pipes. In fact,
he says the place had gone to
rack during the five months of
Idleness since 1t had passed into
the hands of the receiver and
much work had to be done pre-
paratOrY to start; and as he
says there is but little demand
for coal they will take their time
IN making the needed repairs
before work Will be resumed.
Rather a queer decision was
handed down by the supreme
court of New Jersey a few days
ago, and one that will prove of
great injury to the Anthricite
coal industry of Pennsylvania.
The authorities of New Jersy,
who look after the tax levy,
found a large amount of coal
that had been shipped from
Pennsylvania and stored in their
state for reshipment and they
proceeded to collect taxes on
coal thus stored. The lower
courts held that this coal was
taxable, and this decision was
sustained as they had paid
freight on this coal from mine

SENATOR BEVERIDGE
SPEAKS AT SACRAMENTO
Indiana Spellbinder Advocates
the Cause of the Republic
can Candidate

SACRAMENTO. Oct S.-Senator Bev-
eridge of Indiana addressed great
audience here tonight. Hundreds were
unable to gain admission. He said in
part:
In the last seven years we have
passed more laws for the benefit of
labor than during any quarter of a
century of our history; yet necessary as
those laws were they are worthless
unless labor is employed. We propose
to pass still other laws. but all these,
too, will be worthless unless labor is
employed. We propose to end the real
abuses of the writ of injunction. Yet
what good will this do If labor is not
employed?
Does not every man know that the
election of Mr.. Taft will complete that
revival of business and, therefore, that
employment OF labor which the whole
country is witnessing now? The little
panic of last year is practically ended
and would have been ended long ago
but for the crusade on business which
this campaign causes. Even now with
the certainty of Mr.. Tafts election, the
few men who remain unemployed are
going back to work. Every man knows
that within six months after MIR. Taft's
election every laborer In the republic
Will be employed at higher wages than
ever before. Mr.. Bryans speeches may
be beautiful, but the workingman and
his family can not eat them. Labor
needs work and wageS-not oratory and
agitation"

Waste today F. NJ. Palmer, admins
traitor of the estate. sued Miss Alice
Meers, a trusted servant, who secured
all the property, for its return in be-
half of other heirs who were disin-
herited.
Palmer alleged that Miss Meers had
used undue influence to win the estate
at a time when Miss Herrick's mind
had become enfeebled by disease and
the approach of death. He said that on
the day following Miss Herricks death
Miss Meers had recorded a deed for
valuable property in Telegraph ave-
nue., and was also in possession OF
Miss Merrick's personal property, in
cluding some jewelry and $4,000 in
cash.
Miss Meers claimed that she had
purchased the property from Miss Her
rick and that Miss Herrick's mind was
clear at the time the deed was signed
at least three weeks before her death
DR.. J. e. Shafer of Berkeley, who
attended Miss Herrick. testified that
her mind was strong. Mrs Anna C.
Graves said that Miss Herrick was
unconscious on the morning the deed
was signed and that she could not
have known what she did.

ject being Views of an Ordinary Citi-

Carr on the matter of parcels posts
as planned by the postmaster general
and presented in the Burnham and
Keane bills introduced in the last con-
gress, characterized them as among
the most important legislative meas
ures before the nation, and of which
the people in general are little in
formed. He showed by figures that
the Burnham bill. if enacted into law,
would during the first year of it's
operation make the rural delivery part
of the postal service self-sustaining.
He declared that the opposition to the
proposals of the postmaster general
found it's source in an organization
that is intent upon gaining a one-cent
letter postage, which he declared would
cause millions of dollars annually in
deficits.

CLAYTON ERB BEATEN
BEFORE BEING SHOT
Expected a Speedy Trial Will
Be Given Mrs. Katherine
ReiSeI

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. SIT is ex-
pected that there will be a speedy trial
in the case of Mrs. Katherine Beisel,
charged with the murder of her broth
er in law, J. Clayton Erb. The dead
mans wife also is in jail, but no charge
has been lodged against her.
The testimony brought out at the in
quest last night shows that Erb had
been beaten before he was shot. There
was a deep cut on his head made by a
vase that is believed to have been
hurled at him. According to the con-
stable who arrested Mrs. Beisel, she
said:
Il shot Captain Erb. / am sorry for
1t, but / could not help 1t. He pointed
the revolver at me and 1 took it away
from him and shot him."
The trouble which preceded the
shooting is said to have been due to a
legal paper served upon Mrs Beisel to
keep off the Erb premises.
To. the murdered mans body counsel
for. the widow insists she has the prior
claim, while Captain Erbs relatives
contend that the body belongs to them.
The body is still at the Erb country
home.
