THRILLING STORIES OF THE
COURT VIEW HOTEL DISASTER
Mrs. H. Mr. Porter EbaRS And Mr.. Sam Powell Tell OF Their Ex
peenGe Of Thursday Morning In Escaping From Burning Building

The body Of Mr.. II. I. Eals, who
lost his life in the fire that destroyed
the Court View Hotel Thursday
morning was taken to his home In
Cynthiana Thursday Afternoon for
burial. Mr.. H. 7. Eals was the son
of Mr.. Henry t. Eals, a prominent
real estate broker Of Cynthiana.
Dynamite was used Thursday to
throw down the walls that were left
standing and nothing remains now OF
the once leading hotel of Winchester
and Central Kentucky, but a melan-
choly pile of ruins.
All who were injured in making
their escapes from the building were
reported to be doing well Friday
morning, and it is thought now that
no more fatalities will result from
the fire.
Mr.. and Mrs. Huls are at present
located with Mr.. and Mrs. George
Hart. They have not definitely de-
Jcided yet where they will locate in the
future. The loss on Mr.. Huls' fur
niture will be $4,000 with $1,000 in
surance, instead of $500 insurance
as was first stated.
Officer John Ballard was one of the
first to discover the fire and was the
one who turned in the alarm. Mr..
Ballard also assisted in getting the
women out of the burning building.
Jas. Donahue who jumped from the
third story window Of the burning
hotel and who was thought to have
sustained internal injuries, rested
well last night and is reported as bet
ter today.

Porter Eubanks Story.

Porter Eubanks tells the following
story,
Il was acting as night clerk at the
hotel, for a few days during the i'll
ness of Mr.. Bush, the regular clerk
| was sleeping on cot just in the
rear of the office. The first that |
knew of the fire was when the glass
door near where ] was sleeping,
bursted in and the glass fell on me-
] jumped up as quick as | could
and run through the building yelling
fire and breaking in all the doors that
| could. There was only three doors
that ! could not get in. One of them
was Mr.. Eals' door, the man that was
lost. The others | don't remember
whose they were.

men in their windows crying and
screaming for help. | had no clothes
on but my night clothes and | had
sustained a very painful cut on my
right foot when jumped to the por-
tico, and l was almost helpless and
could do but very little towards res
cuing any of the others.
| believe if the fire had been burn
ing five minutes longer before it was
discovered, every one in the building
would have persisted. | am at present
staying with Mr.. j. A. Boone.
Mr.. Powell lost his watch and
nearly all of his clothing. When seen
at the County Clerks Office Friday
morning, Mr.. Powell was wearing one
tan and one black shoe.

CRITICAL COMMENT.


Opinion ON some Of Secretary WILL
sons Figures.
Prefaclng its remarks with the aSser.
tion that tour national secretary Of ag-
riculture never let's a story shrink In
the telling" Ohio Farmer comments
critically upon some items Of Secretary
Wilson's last annual report as follows:
Take our largest crop, corn. OF the
corn crop Of 1904 Omitted States stats.
Gtical abstract, page $3.50 only 2.5o pen
cent was exported" and o7.H per cent
was retained for domestic consump,
ton" These percentages include both
corn and cornmeal. We have not the
exact figures (and they cannot be OBJ
tained) for the per cent used here a.
human food, drink and use, including
cornmeal. whisky, glucose, starch, ETC.,
but It is wholly probable that IL per
cent viii far more than cover this. So
that Of our main crop, corn, more than
80 per cent Is fed to domestic animals
In the United States, and this 50 per
cent Ia therefore counted twice in the
secretary's figures (and the newspa-
pers' boasttng)-counted once as corn
and again as butter, eggs, beef, pork
wool, etc. And essentially the same IL
true Of hay, oats and some other crops.
Per Cent OF PROFIT.
Commenting still further on Score
tary Wilson's figures as they relate to
the yearly production Of wealth on
farms, Ohio Farmer concludes that
even II we allow half for taxes, labor
and other expenses It will give US over
Is per cent per annum as the net In
comet Yet we all know that the very
richest and best farms of Illinois and
Ohio do not net their landlord owners
more than or 9 per cent. II average
farms Melted 1S per cent. they would

Hon. James Wilson, the secretary Of
agriculture, in his annual report thus
summarizes the present economic posi-.
ton Of farmers: IF the farmers eco
nomic position In the United States Is
to be condensed to a short paragraph,
! may be said that their farms pro
auced this year wealth valued at Sc.
415,OO0000; that farm products are
yearly exported with a port value of
,'SI5,O00,0Oo; that farmers have revers-
ed an adverse international balance of
trade and have been building up one
favorable to this country by sending
to foreign nations a surplus which In
sixteen years has aggregated $4,000.

ance Of trade during that time amount.
ing to 5000, 100000 after an adverse
balance against manufactures and 9th.
er products not agricultural, amounting
to $643, 100000, has been Offset. The
manufacturing industries that depend
upon farm products for raw materials
employed 2,154, 900 persons In 1900 and
used capital Of "a, 1872 100000. With.
In a decade farmers have become prom.
inent as bankers and as money lenders
throughout large areas, and during the
past Eve years prosperous conditions
and the better directed efforts of the
farmers themselves have increased the
value Of their farms 1876 per cent, OF
an amount approximately equal to &C..
LBS. 100000.
The Increase.
The cotton farms have increased In
value $500 100000, 80 that 1t might be
said that during the past Eve years the
cotton plantations have had six crops,
one Of them permanent investment
promising to pay good return year by
year. Hay and grain farms show an
increase Of $4,000, 100000, live stock
farms a still larger gain. dairy farms
$500 100000, tobacco farms $5T, 900, 900,
rice farms $3,800,000, fruit farms $97,.
100000 and vegetable farms $113,0 600.
600. Every sunset during the past i've
years has registered an increase Of
100000 In the value Of the farms Of
this country. Every month has piled
value upon value until 1t has reached
102,000,OO0. That portion Of the ma.
donal debt bearing interest IL equaled
by the increased value of farms in nina
months, and this increase for a little
over a year balances the entire inter.
est bearing and nonlnterest bearing
debt of the United States"
