He Cor SOME EXPERT ADVICE

McCfacken county farms and truck
gardens with the proper fertilizer
and the cooperation OF the state eX-
pertinent station can be made To rank
with the best In the state, although
the land at present is rated as poor.
This has been proved by f. f. Rog-
ers. a truck gardener Of the Mayheld
road. who by having his soil analysed
at the state Vr.periment station, made
up the deficiency Of soda by adding a
fertilizer rich in soda compounds. The
result of his work was shown this
morning when he brought in a wagon
load OF cucumbers, a thousand OF
which were six inches long and per-
feet In form.
For the last three years Mr. Rog-
crs has been Infested in the inn

and although the fertilizer containing

He has kept well posted on the ad-
vance in scientific farming by reading

INTEREST CBNTERS
IN THE PLATFORM
AT CHICAGO

Chicago, June 13.-There is the
greatest interest In the Republican
platform. Three propositions in the
Taft draft which may cause a fight
are the anti-injunction plank. that
requiring railroads to get consent of
the interstate commerce commission
to issue bonds and the amendments
to the antitrust law. There is a
fight on to control the resolutions
committee. Taft men want their
platform reported without change
and opponents of disputed planks are
trying to control the committee to
"tone down" utterances. The vice.
presidency is still open. Taft leaders
are now looking toward the east for
a candidate. Hitchcock is regarded
as a sure selection for national chair
man. ..-..

Sergeant Gourieux and Patrolmen

Kentucky Coal company, and were
carting II away. At Second and Ad-
ans streets the negroes dropped their

Caleb Powers and Jim Howard Are
Pardoned by Governor Wilson,
Charged With Murder of Goebel

dulged in on all sides and the state
militia was kept in readiness to pre-
serve order. More than one shooting
marked the period between the inau-
guration day and the assassination OF
William Goebel, January 80, shortly
before noon.
Then confusion reigned in the capt
tai. But as soon as the shock wore
oil, the Democratic legislature threw
out alleged fraudulent votes and
seated the Democratic officials. Mean
time the story of monstrous con-
spiracy on the part of the Republican
state officials to cause the murder OF
Goebel was started, and foreseeing
that he was to be made the victim of
"a political vendetta, Governor Taylor
hastily issued pardons TO the Officials
and he himself fed to Indiana, where
he has up to this time been protected
from arrest.
Powers was arrested and three
times convicted and each time the
court of appeals reversed the preju-
diced rulings of the trial court.
Efforts TO bring him to trial before
special judges appointed by Gov
ernor Beckham. have ended the last
year in the special judges vacating
the bench on threats of the defense
to make AFFIDAVIT of their prejudioes.
James Howard, who never he'd n
political position higher than mem
Der of the school board in Clay coun-
ty, was arrested. not as a conspirator
merely. but as the one who shot
Goebel.
Howard has been pictured as a
mountain desperate, something that
does him injustice, and many, who
cling to the belief In the story of a
conspiracy, do not believe Jim How
ard was more than the victim of per
sonal enemies, who were engaged in
a feud with his fathers family.
Howard was sentenced to death, and
to life imprisonment. He
has been In the penitentiary at Frank
fort a year His case has never been
as conspicuous In the public eye as
that of Caleb Powers. but II was gen.
orally expected that he would be par
doned. even IL Powers was not.

FINE CLOAK RECOVERED

Another fine cloak that was stolen
from the residence of Mrs Hannah
Johnson, of North Fifth street, was
recovered this morning by Detective
r. j. Moore from Ella Fuqua, colored
of North Tenth street. When Jen-
nings confessed 10 Detective Will
Baker, he told where he had sold
many garments and the police and
detectives have been busy looking for
the stolen chairs and clothing. Three
cloaks were stolen from the residence
of Mrs. Johnson, and this Is the third
one that was recovered. Jennings

CONSERVATION was created In the
ranks of the Democratic candidates
for sheriff by the decision of Col. Bud
Dale. proprietor of the New Rich
mond house, to enter the. race. Col.
Dale by his long career as hotel
keeper, knows almost everybody in
the county, and by his open-handed
hospitality, has made wide circle
of friends, who have assured him OF
their allegiance in the primary next
November. But Col. Dale counts
strongest on the fact that he has not
made any political enemies. as he
has in the main held aloof from poll
tics. He says he is in the race to the
finish and will make whlrl-wind
stump-speaking campaign.

cial. J. Lightning yesterday after
noon struck the plant of the Mayfieid
Water and Light company, burning
out the new dynamos recently in
stalled in place of those destroyed by
fire last month. As consequence.
Mayfield will again be without cleo
trio lights or power for four or six
weeks longer. The newspapers will
be unable to get out their regular
editions and private residences and
stores must again resort to lamps.
The power plant had just gotten into
operation after strenuous efforts by
the company, and now this catas-
trophe comes to further embarrass
the situation. No lightning arresters
were up at the plant, which is given
as the reason for the disaster The
dynamos must be shipped to the fac
tory to be repaired. This company
has lost heavily in the last month
from fire and lightning.
Strikes Residence.
Lightning played strange prank
at the residence of Mrs. Tisha Ham
let in Mayfeld. yesterday afternoon.

was wrecked, and several members of
the family stunned. Mrs. Hamlet was
sitting in front of the CRATE when the
stroke came and was knocked uncon-
scious for few moments. The rug
under her chair was burned for a
width of six inches, its entire length.
