POWELL COUPLE.
MARRIED HERE
S. X. Baird and Miss Matte Williams
United at Eleven O'clock
MOday Night.

S. K. Baird and Matte Williams,
of Powell county, were married at
the Brown Proctoria Hotel in this
~city at II o'clock Tuesday night. AT
this unseemly hour Mr.. S. W. Powell,
Deputy County Clerk, was aroused
from his slumbers. A license was
wanted quick. Sam is always clever.
The next thing was to get preacher.
Elder j. M. Rash was prevailed upon
to get out of bed and come to the
hotel. Mr.. Baird is bookkeeper for
Hardwick and Company at Stanton,
Miss Williams is a daughter of Mr..
John w. Williams, one of the most
prominent citizens of Powell county.
The romance about this wedding is
the fact that the parties have been
married to each other before. A di-
vorce followed the result of misun-
derstanding, the bride taking her
maiden name. After a period of some
years they found that they could not
live one without the other and they
are married again. With manv
friends we wish them happy future.

HUNDREDS BURN
IN THEATRE fire
Mexican Village Scene of Accident
Building Well Filled With
Select AuEfehCe.

Mexico City, Feb. 16.-Between ESQ
and 300 people were burned to death
and many were injured in a fire
which destroyed the Flores theater, I'm
the city of Acapulco.
The Flores theater was a OGDEN
structure and over 1000 people
crowded into it to witness a special
performance, given in honor of Gov
ernor Damian Flores Of the state OF
Guerro, who was visiting the rost at
the time. One of the numbers of the
program consisted Of series of NOV
ing pictures. While3Ae operator was
exhibiting these film caught fire
and blaze was quickly communicate
ed to some bunting which had been
used for decorative purposes.
In an incredibly short time the
flames spread to all parts of the struc-
ture. There were but three narrow
exits, and the panic-stricken audience
rushed to them, many falling, to be
crushed to death, their bodies chok-
ing the way to escape to others.
The screams of those imprisoned
were terrifying. Owing to the rapid
ity with which the fire spread and it's
intense heat, 1t was impossible to at
tempt rescue work, and those impris-
oned were literally roasted alive, as
the fire burned with little smoke, and
few were suffocated.
Pitiful scenes of grief are being en-
acted on the streets of the little west
coast port. Men, women and children
are wandering from place to place
hunting for relatives or friends Many
OF the dead are from the first families
Of the state, the affair at the theater
being a social event of considerable
importance.
In some instances entire families
were wiped out of existence. The
municipal authorities caused large
trenches to be dug and into these the
remains of the dead were laid. Ac-
cording to the kilograms received
from there, recognition of any of the
dead has been an impossibility, owing
to the fact that the bodies were burn
ed in most cases to a crisp.

consul at Acapulco asking for the

BIG CROWD TO
WELCOME FLEET
Advance Guard Arrives at Old Point
and All Hotel Rooms Are
at a Premium.

Fort Monroe, Va, Feb. 1.-THE ad-
vance guard Of visitors en- route here
to view the notable naval demonstra-
ton of Monday next and to partici-
pate in the welcome home of the bat
tleships under command Of Rear Ad-
miral Sperry has begun to arrive. Ho-
tel Accommodations at Old Point al
ready are at a premium, and quarters
are now being sought at Norfolk,
Hampton and other cities bordering
Hampton Roads.
The interest excited by the sailing
of the fleet IA months ago naturally
has been accentuated many fold dur
ing the remarkable cruise, and excur-
sions are to be run from most Of the
eastern cities.
The program of entertainment here
is still indefinite, as it is not known
as yet just how many Of the ships
will be detached following the presi-
dents review and sent to the navy
yards. Some 5000 of the bluejackets
from the fleet are to be sent to Wash
ington to participate in the inaugural
parade of March 4, and the vessels
from which they are drawn undoubt-
eddy will remain here, for the men
are to be taken to the capital On ma
val transports.
Efforts are to be made to have
President Roosevelt and his guests on
the Mayflower come ashore the even
ing of the review to attend the dinner
in honor Of the flag and commanding
officers of the fleet by the Navy
league, of which General Horace Por-
ter is president. This dinner will be
followed by bail, and during the
stay of the ships in the road there
will be a round of gaieties. Officers
of the army at Fort Monroe are pre-
pairing to have a share in the well

The ships are to anchor IN Spracti-
cally the same positions from which
they started on their voyage of the
world Dec Is, 1907. They we're an
chored before sailing in two long
lines, but fell into single column to
follow the Mayfiower to- the review
ing water off Thimble Shoal light.
AS understood here, 1t is Admiral
Sperrys intention to bring the ships
in the capes and past the presidents
yacht in two lines of eight ships
each. The anchoring maneuvers after
the ships pass the government pier
probably will be the prettiest part Of
the nne spectacle.
Just what formation is to be taken
by the escorting ships Of the third
squadron under Admiral Arnold is not
yet known. These ships have been
ON detached duty and have had little
opportunity to drill. They may, how
ever, be disposed in double line for
nation to conform to the fleets sail
ing order.
In this way the line of ships which,
in single column, would stretch over
FIVE miles Of water, will be shortened
to Just one-half that distance. A num-

of the fleet from here, and since that
time have followed or preceded the
ships all the way around the world,
have arrived to see the close of the
history-making voyage.

HOTEL IS BURNED.

CAMPTON, KY, Feb. 16.-At 2
o'clock Monday morning the old
Combs House, in this city, burned to
the ground. This was one of the
oldest buildings In Campton, having
been built 80 to 40 years ago. The
main building was of brick, and the
brick walls are all that saved all the
central portion of Campton from
burning. It is thought that the fire
is the work Of an incendiary. The
hotel and its furnishings were worth
at least $500, and was the property
of G. W. Robinson, of Winchester,
Ky.

EXCELLENT SHOW AT
AUDITORIUM RINK
Backman's Wild Animals and Glass
Blowers Show PIeases
Large Audience.

The Bachman's wild animal and
glass blowers show that is to ex-
hibit at the Auditorium Rink all this
week put on their first performance
Monday night to a large and appre-
ciative audience. The doors opened
at seven o'clock and by eight O'Clock
when the wild animal performance
begun, regardless of the weather the
seats around the arena in which the
animals perform, were will filed. The
performance is interesting and in
structive and well worth the price
of admission. The doors open one
hour before each performance and
every one has an opportunity of see
ing the glass blowers at work before
and after the animal show.
Adam Forepaugh in his palmiest
days never had the pleasure of show
ing to the public a better educated
troupe of wild animals than these
with the Bachman's shows. While
they may not outnumber those of the
Forepaugh and other great circuses
they are equally as well trained and
perform some feats that are seldom
seen In the leading circuses of today.
The first on the program in the an
imal show is Joseph Cain with his
wonderful troupe of six educated
Australian cockatoos. The cocka-
toos afford much amusement by their
funny antics and this is one of the
best features on the program.
The next on the program is Mr..
]. 7. Bachman playing the role as
ventriloquist with his two wooden
figures, Tommy and Sarah. This is
something that is enjoyed by the old
as well as the young, and produces
much laughter.
Madam Mazzella Marguerite with
her troupe of teddy bears is the next
feature on the program. The bears
are well trained and do many aero
batic and laughable stunts so char
acteristic of them.
Berthe Lorenzo with his congre-
CATION of wild beasts including three
goats, two bears, one ape, one mon
key, two dogs and one German edu-
Gated hog, perform of the most Won
derful tricks ever accomplished by
wild animals. The goats and the
bears do some very difficult acrobatic
feats such as tight wire performan-
ces, trapese acting, ETC., with the
agility of an acrobat. The German
wild hog is one of the most important
characters in this feature of the
program and plays his part well. Mr..
Bachman claims hi INTO be the only
educated German hog in this coun-
try.
The next and last feature of the
program is Prof. Paul Johanning
with his aggregation of five Nubian
liopesses. This is the best feature
of. the entire program and it alone
is well worth the price of admission.
Every feature of the program was
entertaining and was watched with
interest by everyone in the audience.
The glass blowers are always IN
operation and every one of them are
artists of no mean ability. Their
exhibition is. worth watching and is
| Fascinating to no small degree.

RAPID STRIDES OF
TUBERCULOSIS
Great Need of Immediate Testing
by Farmers Strongly Urged
to Check Disease.

BY killing four healthy looking cows
which had reached to the tuberculin
test and by killing a pig that had
been fed upon the quart of milk from
a .tuberculous COW, Dean H. L. Rus
sell, at Madison, Wis, demonstrated
to 1000 farmers at the farmers course
the ravages of the disease in animals
in which its presence ordinarily would
be unsupported. The tuberculin test,
Dean Russell declared, was the only
reliable method of determining the
presence Of the disease, since the ap-
pearance of the animal and physical
examinations have been demonstrated
to be untrustworthy. The great need
for immediate testing by farmers
themselves or by qualified tests was
strongly urged.
The loss consequent upon disregard
ing the value of the tuberculin test
was illustrated by the experience of
the farmer in whose herd of 40 COWS
IL reacted to the tuberculin test
made by a short-course student As
result of neglecting to take the
precautionary steps to eliminate the

EXPERIMENTS WITH FEED
FOR FATTENINC CATTLE
Corn, Cotton Seed Meal
and Glover Hay-OIder Animals Making
More

During the past three years the An
imal Husbandry department of Pur-
due university. Indiana, has been con-
Quoting series of tests to determine
the influence of age on the economy
and profit in fattening cattle. in which
three lots of cattle. one of calves, one
of yearlings and one OF two-year-olds
were used last year. This year the
ration used consisted of shelled corn,
cotton-seed meal and clover hay. The
results were similar to those secured
In previous years and published by
the station in Bulletin 129. The old

the sole roughage consists of corn ST.
lage, without dry feed In any form
except in concentrates. While these
results were secure under normal
conditions and indicate that silage
may profitably be used in large uuan-
titles for fattening beef cattle. the
work will be duplicated next winter
before final conclusions are drawn.
This one test has shown decided
advantage in the use of silage in the
place OF clover hay where corn and
cotton-seed meal are used as concen-
trates. followed very closely by the
use of a.ration where one-half of the
clover was substituted with silage.
The points OF advantage indicated by
the work are in cheaper and more
rapid gain, smaller necessary sell
ing price and a larger actual value.
