Soap in it's modern form seems
rather to be an evolution of economy

evidence of a great accession to
cleanliness. The rich today in their

kind invitation to remain over night J;
Tuesday it was still wet; after a call
at the Dave Burgess home we got a

was welcome by Mr.. and Mrs Harvill
and Effie and Lloyd, the youngest, his
other children all being away at the
time. Thursday morning the grand
old orb some times called old Sol
peeped out between the clouds and
smiled as much as to say uncle you
had better be getting home to attend
to your garden. Lloyd and Fife and

wanted to visit and take in the school
entertainment III the city hall Thurs

drills by the primary were applauded
to the echo; the humorous play en-
titled Cupids, was we'll rendered
and the farce, the Qqack Doctor was
laughable in the extreme. The
home Mandolin Club furnished the
music. Teachers and pupils for this

One of these accidental meetings
was at Thirty-third street and Broad
way. about the first of August, about
two weeks before the shooting. The
second was four or five days later, and
at a place not yet made public.
On both of these occasions T. Jenk-
ms Hams will testify that the captain
appeared to be seized with an uncon-
trollable impulse to do bodily injury
to the man he believed had wrecked
his home. and that the defendant was
compelled to use all his powers of
persuasion, as well as physical force.
to restrain his brotoher. The defense
then will claim there were three such
insane outbreaks on the part OF the
captain, each brought on by the sight
of Annis, the third resulting in Annis'
death.

oppression in the chest, irregular
pulse, palpitation, smothering spells,

Miles will send, free, to every afflicted
person, $3.50 worth of treatment. The
worst cases soon relieved.
They are the result of Is years of
extensive research and remarkable
success in treating the various all
ments OF the heart, stomach and
nerves. which SO often complicate
each case. So astonishing are the re-
suits of his treatment that he does
not hesitate to offer all afflicted per-
sons a twopound Trial Treatment
free.
Certainly nothing could be more
generous. Few physicians have such
confidence in their treatments. There
is no reason why all afflicted persons
should not avail themselves of this
liberal offer, as they may never have
such an opportunity again. Delays
are dangerous. No death comes more
suddenly than that from heart dis

Anti-Saioon League Asks Special SEES
sion to Pass County Bill.
Frankfort, KY, Jan. 2.-The Ken
lucky Anti-Saloon League issued a
statement which in part follows:
The Kentucky Anti-Salocn League
asks it's constituents all over the COM
monwealth to press the work of cir
culating petitions to his excellency,
Governor Augustus E. Wilson, asking
for special session of the Legisla-
ture to pass the uniform county unit
bill and not to include in the call any
such measures as the redistricting
bill, which would serve to embarrass
the county unit measure, as did hap.
pen at the last regular session.
Our reasons for so doing, in spite
OF the fact that his excellency, the
Governor, has given expression to his
unwillingness to do so upon informa-
ton conveyed to him through newspa-
per reports of our intentions in this
matter of the petition, in part follow:
1--WE have not yet had an opportuni.
ty to present to Governor Wilson our
petition and the grounds we have for
asking for an extraordinary session OF
the Legislature. We have strong
hope that when we can formally get
our case before him he will give il
favorable consideration. We are con
f1dent of such a fair and impartial
hearing as he always gives to any 9th
er matters claiming rightfully the at
tention OF the executive.
1--WE feel confident that the present
Legislature will certainly pass the
county unit bill if allowed a clear
field, free of measures which would
obstruct it.
IF the uniform unit bill is passed al
special session called in the near
future, we can within the next twelve
months carry about twenty counties
or all but four or five counties in Ken
lucky, for the prohibition of the sa
looms and thus relieve the long-suffer
ing populations of these counties from
the Ubiquitous bondage they suffer, the
crimes committed and the disorders
endangered"
