APPLY TORCH.
Three Stations of Illinois Central
Railway Burned.
Permission to Soldiers to Camp
on Property Said to Be
the Cause.

Night riders burned the stations
of the Illinois Central railway
early Wednesday morning at Ora
cey, in Christian county; Cerulean,
Trigg county, and Otter Pond,
Caldwell county.
Each depot was set on fire short
ly after one o'clock.
The Illinois Central gave permits
sion to the jacksonville soldiers on
duty in the night rider region to
camp on its property at Cobb, near
Otter Pond. This action aroused
much Indignation.
Recently when a squad of sol
diers visited Cobb they were Or
dered off, food was refused them
and they were told they would not
be permitted to establish camp.
At Gracey, shortly after one
o'clock Wednesday morning, twen-
ty masked night riders captured
the telephone exchange, took the
two operators with them to the
station, set the house on fire and
then rode away.
At Cerulean, the burning was
quietly accomplished.
At Cobb, after the building was
fired, the night riders discharged
guns and pistols as they rode
away.
Each raid was by a Different
squad of night riders.

The initial clash between attOr-
neys for the License Board, and
attorneys representing saloOnkeep-
ers whose applications for renewal
of saloon licenses in Louisville are
being opposed, came on Tuesday
of last week. In all, ten remOn.
strances were considered. The
session lasted four hours. Dur
ing that time the applications of
four saloon men were turned down.
That the saloon men mean to
fight the crusade being made
against them to the bitter end was
evidenced by the legal array which
in behalf of those against
whom remonstrances have been
filed.

With distressing urinary disorders,
Daily existence is but struggle.

l.. &. Howard living on West
Locust St., Mt. Sterling, KY,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me two years ago of kidney com
plant, and since that time | have
recommended them to a great
many persons. Prior to using
DOan's Kidney Pills | had occa-
slOnal attacks of backache for over
ten years but never paid any at
tentiOn to it until about two years
ago when | was in miserable con-
ditioR. My kidneys seemed to
give out all at once. The least
work l did brought an aching
through my back and finally | be-
came so bad that l was not able to
stand. There was also an intense
weakness of the kidney secretions
which caused me additional annoy
ance. / finally procured DOan's
Kidney Pills at F. G. Duerson's
drug store, and as previously
stated that remedy freed me of
every sign of the complaint. My
wife keeps them in the house at all
times and says that she never
found a remedy that has proven of
such great benefit to her."
