MAMMOTH CAVE
FOR GOVERNMENT
Congress Will Be Asked to Buy
it for Free Use Of People.
BIG PETITION IS BEING CIRCULATED.

Horse Gave, KY, Aug. PA
number of patriotic Ksntuckians
actuated by fears that Mammoth
cave may shortly be acquired by
corporate interests and another
long period of extortionate char
ges prevail similar to the condi-
tions which once existed at Nj
agra Falls, Hot Springs and 9th
er points of interest to tourists,
are circulating an immense petit
tion asking Congress to turn the
Mammoth Gave of Kentucky in
to a national pleasure ground for
the people of the United States.
Under the terms of the will of
the late George Croghran, who
owned the Mammoth Cave, it
was left to his IL nephews and
nieces for life, with instructions
that after their death The cave
is to be sold at public auction to
the highest bidder. This was
many years ago, and now only a
few aged men and women of the
original IL remain alive.
So, in the natural course of hui
man events, the Mammoth Gave
will soon pass into other hands,
and as it is a practical monopoly
the people of Kentucky are
averse to seeing it controlled for
profit by a private corporation.
A preparation, asking that steps
be taken In the direction of ac-
curing Mammoth Cave and the
land above it for a national park
free to all the American people
and their guests from foreign
shores.
The committee in charge of
the petition has accordingly sent
broadcast request that every
one favoring the project send a
| p )stal card bearing his name and
address to Mr.. Burns w. Beall,
Horse Gave, Ky. The names
thus received will be added to
the petition and all the original
cards will accompany it tn Wash
ington when the bill is lntroduc
ed in the house. 1t is not ex-
pected that there will be any
serious opposition to the splan,
and Mammoth cave will 40 doubt
soon regain its old prestige as
one of the seven wonders of the
modern world.

or the desire TO destroy property
came near doing a serious injury
to the motor cars and other prop
erty at Hecla one day lately.
The motormen, when they quit
at evening or anytime, dlscon-
meet the trolley pole from the
wire so If the current is turned
on no damage will occur, which
on this occasion was done but
some party now unknown placed
the trolly pole on the wire and
when the time come for the cur
rent to be turned on, off the
motor cars started, running into
several loaded cars wrecking
them and was only stopped by a
heroic deed Of a small son of Mr..
j. ID. Greer, who boldly rushed
in and pulled the trolley pole
from the wire but not until
several cars had been partially
destroyed. Foreman J.B. Wyatt
Is now making preparations to
have these cars hereafter locked
up out of the reach of evil ais
posed persons.
Foreman Henry Wyatt, of No.
III mine, says that it is all mis-
take about a mule being killed
in his mine lately aud kin lily re-
fers us to No. 8 mine where they
have been so unfortunate the
last month as to loose two mules
and according to Foreman Geo.
Wyatt a mystery surrounds the
death of one of them. The ani-
NAL from some cause got loose
from its driver and continued to
butt his head against the timbers
until it dropped dead. Evident.
/ y a case Of mule committing
suicide. Another, he says, that
had leg broken acted like a cat
with nine lives because after it
had been knocked In the head
and the brains exposed it contin-
ued to stand up and required
several shots from a gun before
it could be brought down.
w. ID. Cavaness, of the St.
Bernard mechanical force, left
last Sunday for a sojourn on the
banks of Green river near Sebree.
He will be joined by his family
when he gets his camp fully laid
out and equipped. They expect
to take a recreation of about two
weeks and there is no denying
the fact that of all the fishermen
who leave here, none are so sue
cessful as Mr.. Cavaness, as hs
works while here setting up
or taking down machinery. So
he does when he goes on a fish
ing trip, sparing neither time or
labor to catch the finny tribe.
Reports say that over $50 coal
operators will soon form a COM
bination for self defence against
what they declare is ruinous
prices. These mines are all To-
Gated in the vicinity of St. Louis
most of them IN Illinois. These
coal operators say that coal is
now being sold on the market at
less than cost of production at
the mine and quite naturally
they don't want to run their
mine for nothing, so they organ
ize for self protection.
Those who recently stood the
examination for mine foremen
at Madisonville are now anx-
iously waiting on Prof. Nor
wood to see what their fate will
be. Several of them confidently
expect certificates while 9th
ers admit the test they passed
through was one that only those
who gave mining a close study
could hope to pass. We under

that the questions they are re-
quired to answer are something

Maj. Bassett Talks.

A dispatch was sent from Hop
kinsville to the city dailies which
contained the following;
"Officers from Guthrie arrived
here Wednesday night and at
tempted to arrest Privates Carl
MeachaW and w. r. Brasher, of
darlington, on a charge of taking
case of whisky from a car at
Guthrie. Lieut.. Winfrey, IN
command, refused to allow the
soldiers to be arrested and the
officers left.
"Maj. L. b. Bassett, in com
mand of the western division of
the troops, says he has given or
ders that the men be protected
from arrest, as he does not pro-
pose to place their lives IN such
jeopardy as the Logon county
negroes who were lynched while
held on trivial charges.
Maj. Bassett says he win or
der an investigation by military
court and If the men are guilty
will turn them over to the civil
authorities at the proper time.
They were under bond Of $3.50
each, but the Guthrie officers
are displeased because they were
removed from service at Guthrie
few days ago. The men deny
their guilt and charge that trap
was set to put them in com

sure enough their calculation did
not miscarry as was shown when
one of the men made a grab at
what he thought was a drivers
whip when to his great surprise
he found it to be the tail of a
snake which he quickly released
followed by some words that
would not make good reading in
a Sunday school paper.
Usually the mining fraternity
inside of the mines get along
peacefully, but as was the case
one day last week there came a
time when forbarence ceased to
be virtue as was shown when
young man in the Hecla mine
became tired of repeated insults
offered him and went for the Of
| fender in forcible manner, in
fact, rumor says that shot, not
of the kind usually fired in the
mines, was fired as the other fell
low beat a hasty retreat.
One fact was made plain here
last Saturday and that was that
the miners will not stay in the
mines when they hear that a cir
Gus is coming and a street parade
will take place. They would
rather do without a meal once in
and while than miss the free
exhibition where some weighers
find business down town at that
time.
Supt. Harris, of South D-a-
mOnd mine, is certainly a busy
man indeed. In addition to
looking after the proper super,
VISION of that mine he now has
charge of the Nortonville mine.
He is a tireless worker and sue
cess no doubt will attend his
efforts to properly conduct both
mines.
Foreman w. A. Toombs, of
the scale department Of the St.
Bernard Mining Co., was called
TO Victoria mine TO look after
the scale there and adjust same.
] A good portion of his time Is
now occupied looking for and re-
moving defects in scales when
trouble exists.
Secy. Richard Salmon, of the
Crabtree Coal Co, came over last
Saturday for a brief stay. He
reports business good with them
and IN fact they have never felt
the effects of dull times.
Last week was another big
week for the st. Bernard Mining
Co., and it is safe to say that
about 900 cars of coal was ship
ped during the week.
A coal operator in Pennsylva'
MIA, who controls property valu-
ed at $26, 100000 and who has an
Indebtedness against it for one
half the value, has been declar.
ed a bankrupt.

j law exempted from passing an

now receiving their certificates
from the Governor.
In western Tennessee instead
of buying coal by the bushel as
we do here they give their orders

business circus day. Many men
find many excuses.

Talks,

Frankfort, KY, Aug. 26. -Ac
cording to information which
was gathered by adjutant Gener-
al p. p. Johnson, when he was
in Guthrie a week or so ago, the
two milltiamen who are under
arrest there, charged with break.
ing into a railroad car, were do
Ing nothing except protecting
the property of the railroad.
The incident occurred several
days ago. The soldiers were on
duty along the railroad track
under orders to watch and pro
tect the property of the railroad.
Just short time before that
Night riders had burned three
depots on the Illinois Central
railroad and we're threatening
the Louisville and Nashville rail
roads property. The soldiers
were instructed to protect rolling
stock. They claim they were
walking along the railroad track
when they found a freight car
with the door open. One of the
soldiers entered the car, he says
to see if there was anything or
anybody in it. The civil au-
thorities swoOped down on them
about that time and charged
them with breaking into the car.
The car contained whisky, which
was not touched, as is charged
against them.
Gen Johnston says it may have
been trap for the soldiers in
order to create opposition to
them in bad attitude to the
public.

Killed II With a Skate.

A big lynx attracted considerable
attention on the streets Monday and
the peculiar part of it was that it was
killed by an ordinary skate. The animal
was killed by Bert Blair about two
miles down the river at the foot of the
mesa below the Sheehan place. Mr..
Blair had been out skating when his
dog cernered the lynx. The only thing
he had which he could use as a weapon
was his skates and when he had gotten
within ten or twelve feet of the ami
NAL he let fly one of the skates. The
skate struck the lynx inst below and
back of one of its ears and proved to
be fatal blow as his lynxship top
pied over and gave up the ghost. 1t
was quite fine specimen measuring
about three feet from tip to tip. -
