with this disease swell under the

On the 18th OF March the an

ABRAHAM LINCOLN HoNoRED.

monstration.

Hodgenvllle, KY, February L.
Henceforth the birthplace of Abra-
ham Lincoln is to be marked by pile
of stone. The emancipation of a race
and, more than that, the iberator of
the Thought: of nation, builded his
own monument in the heart of the
world, and appropriately the physi-
cad structure, which has NOW found
q beginning at the place where Lin
coin first saw the light, takes the SIM
pier name of a memorial. It is to be
a simple but classic building granite,
and it is hoped that it may be COM
pleted some time next fall, when the
then President Taft will oficiate in

The cornerstone laying took place
after appropriate fo7esenic ceremon-
les, which Were participated in by the
president Of the United States, Gov
ernor Augustus E. Wilson, Of Ken

of Missouri, president Of the Lincoln
Farm Association; the Hon. Luke 3.
Wright, secretary Of war, who spoke
as an ex-Confederate soldier; Gen.
James Grant Wilson, Of New York,
who represented the Union soldiers,
and I. T. Montgomery, Of Mississip-
pi, negro and an ex-slave. With one
exception the. orators, representing
not only the conflicting sides in the
great struggle, but the present gener-
alton as well; the two political par
ties and the white and black races, as

country, spoke from the same plat
form with the Stars and Stripes flut-
tering over them. There we're pro-
baibly 5000 or 5000 people present.

MUCH COAL RECEIVED FOR
THE COPPER RANGE HERE

A total of 10000 tons or coal have
been unloadcd at the Copper Range
docks this season, the biggest portion
of IL going to the South range mines
and mills.
The number of tons of coal stored
at the copper Range docks this year
Is below the amount of a year ago
This is due 20 the large storage at
Mill Mine Junction. This was built a
year ago and there is at present in the
neighborhood of 10000 tons OF coal
there. The storage was built for emer-
gency purposes and all the rock trains
at least will coal at this point during
the coming winter. Such a preeaution
will eliminate any probable shortage
which might under ordinary circum-
stances occur
The Copper Range railroad has ~
engines i'm the Houghton yards every
night. Al times the number Is more
but there are at least this many every
night. A hostler is employed to run
each of these locomotives in it's turn
to the coal sheds where ii is coaled Tor
the following morning. Much of TINS
coalng will be done at the Junction as
soon as cold weather sets in.
