FIREBUG SUSPECTED
OF FIRING LUCANIA
English Detectives Find.
There Were Four Sepa-
rate BlazeS Started.

LIVERPOOL. Aug. 1s.-Detectives TO
day. after a thorough investigation of
the fire on the Cunard line steamer Luz
cania, are convinced that the ship was
fred by an incendiary.
They found that there were four sep
arate blazes aboard the Lucania. in
different parts of the ship and at inter-
walls of a half hour. One OF the minor
employees of the ship, discharged after
she docked here, is being sought by the
police, who say they have evidence that
he was aboard the ship a short time be-
fore the fires were discovered.
The Cunard officials deny the story
OF the separate blazes. but the detec-
tives say their information comes from
members of the ships crew who were
closely questioned by them.
The Lucania. which ii was necessary
TO sink in thirty feet OF water before the
fire Of Saturday night could be extin-
guished, viii be placed IN drydock as
soon as possible. As her engines are not
injured, it is thought that she can be re-
paired within a short time.

den and his brother Alfred. are planning
a visit to their graves in the national
burying ground at Gettysburg. The
graves are grass grown and marked
with their names in regulation Govern
ment manner.
OF course, It was a mistake. After
the battle letters belonging TO the Boy
den brothers were found inside dead
bodies on the field OF battle. They had
cast the letters away with other super
auous field equipment, and when the field
was cleaned and the dead buried, it was
thought the bodies were Of the Boydeu
brothers.

Two weeks from to-day the battle Of
the ballots will be fought and the splen-
did ticket which appears on this page
will be elected. We are as confident of
one assertion as of the other. Howev-
er, no democrat should lessen his efforts
for larger the majority. greater the
victory will be. During the past week
this Office has taken some pains to find
out the condition of things political and
the news we have received is most
gratifying. From Fishing Creek to the
Bend in Dix river and from Bee Lick to
the Casey and Boyle lines democrats
are aroused to action and are doing val
liant work for democracy. The peopl e
are satisfied with the democratic ad-
ministration of the past years and are
determined to keep that party in pow
err. Help them do it by stamping under
the rooster.

The death Of Judge William Lindsay
at Frankfort removes from the sphere
of active existence one of the greatest
lawyers in the State. He was a man
of attractive personality and as Appel
late Judge and United States Senator
he left his footprints indelibly as a ju-
rist and statesman. He lived past
the allotted span of life and retained to
the end a vigorous mind and body and
a most cheerful and engaging manner.
Some years ago the splendid old gentle
man wandered away from the demo.
cratic camp but he came back after
seeing his error and remained with the
party that had SO often honored him.
He was a great man and his name and
fame will 60 down in history.

POLITICAL.


Miss Mabel Robbins won the demo
cratic nomination for school superin-
tendent Of Bourbon.
The democrats of Muhlenburg county
have nominated Joe +. Richardson for
Representative in the place OF W. o.
Smith, who withdrew from the race
because some silly reports we're started
on him.
Judge Warren E. Settle, of Bowling
Green, will have no opposition for Judge
Of Court of Appeals in the Second APP
pellate district. The democratic COM
mittee's time limit has closed and Judge
Settle was the only entrant.
Former Congressman II. F. Finley,
for many years leader in the Repub-
lican party in this State, died at his
home at Williamsburg. He was n
years of age and the father of Charley
Finley, recently Of Indianapolis, Secre-
tary Of State of Kentucky from 1895 to
1899.
DIR. WI Ting Fang, the Chinese min
lister, who recently has become deeply
interested in spiritualistic manifesto
tons, attended a private seance in
Washington in which he held converse
tons in Chinese through the medium.
The spirit of President Mckinley also
spoke to the minister.
If behooves the democrats all over
Kentucky to vote straight, il for no
other perpose, on account of that re-
districting bill. If the republicans have
a majority in the next Legislature the
youngest child will not live long enough
to see another democratic Representa-
tive or Senator in many counties and
districts of the State. The most casual
observer can see the truth of this as
sertion. Don't walk into trap in day
light. -Lancaste Record.
Two long established precedents were
broken Saturday when Presidents Taft
and Diaz met at Ell Paso. Tex, and
Juarez, Mexico. For the first time in
the history of the United States a
President set foot upon the territory of
another nation and for the first time
the ruler of another nation set foot on
the soil of the United States. The
meeting was marked by the exchange
of expressions of mutual regard and
both executives spoke of the occasion
as being typical of the bonds uniting
the sister republics. The one incident
marring the day was the killing Of one
schoolboy by another in fight result
ing from their efforts to approach near
er President Taft.

that must have been sight worth
going miles to see when on Sunday
morning at Pittsburg. Pa, 1900 Dis.
ciples of Christ gathered in Forbes
Field baseball park and partook Of the
Lords Supper. One hundred elders
and 500 deacons acted as celebrants and
they were SO well drilled that there
was little or no confusion when the
ceremony was held. OF course no
church nor auditorium in the great city
of Pittsburg could accommodate the
the great throng and the baseball park
was secured. A hundred police were
stationed around backgrounds to prevent
disturbance or annoyance of any kind
from the outsiders.
