Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1909-09-14

The Kentuckian's fourth popular
ity contest, the prizes being trips to
the State Fair in Louisville this
week from six different districts,
was brought to close Saturday at
noon with exciting finishes in two
districts. In the other four districts
the results had been foreseen for
some time, though ballots continued
to pour in from some of these dis
tricts up to the last moment. The
close contests were in No. between
Misses Virginia Butler and Flora
Harris and in No 2 between Misses
Maude Dawson and Ida May Gary.
1t took the official count to settle
both of these contests after two days
of hard work by the young ladies
and their friends, in which $4,000
votes were cast The total number
of votes cast during the contest was
about $4,000, nearly 10000 more
than were cast in the jamestown
contest in 1907.
Many new names have been added
to the Kentuckian's subscription
list in Christian and Trigg counties
and in the city, where the fight cen
tered the last day, many subscrip-
tons were paid from one year 10
five years in ahead.
In the leading contest in which
Misses Dawson and Gary were pitted
against each other, more than $1,000
votes were cast, of which Miss Daw-
son put in 1900 the last half day.
Miss Gary put in energetic work
Friday in the city and added enough
votes to her column to put her ahead
for the first time. Miss Dawson put
in the week in the country getting
new subscribers and when she came
to town Saturday she brought large
number of votes gained in this way
and accompanied by her friend, Miss

REMODELINC
|. & N. DEPOT
Radical Changes to be Made
in the Present Inadequate
Structure,
$4,000 TO BE EXPENDED.
Train Sheds, Concrete Walks
and Building Steam
Heated.

In making the improvements now
under way on the passenger
station the L. G. N. Railroad pro-
poses to expend about $4,000, and
while the depot as remodeled will
not be the new and modern station
asked for, it will be a vast improve
ment over the present one. The
plans are in the main the same sub
mitted to the council last March and
accepted on certain conditions, most
of which have been complied with
in revising the plans. While the
council has no authority to regulate
the style of building erected, the
fact that it is within the fire limits
made an agreement necessary. The
permit will therefore be issued in
accordance with the plans accepted
by the council.
The present station is to be length
ened and the south end of it widened,
one new room being added for pas
sengers and one for boiler room.
The entire building is to be cover,
ed with concrete surface accepted
as fireproof and a train shed will be
put up on the east side extending
the full length of the square and
from the building to the track.
Granitoid walks are to be laid all
around the building and the retain
ing wall on the west is to be extend
ed to Tenth street. Best of all. the
coal yard on the west is to be re-
moved and neat little grass plot,
surrounded by macadamized APP
proaches will be put in.
The arrangement Of the waiting
room is to he changed. Two large
rooms in the center will be ar
ranged for white passengers and the
two rooms on the north end will be
set apart for cOlored passengers.
The circular bay window in the
northeast corner will be fitted up
for a sub-station for the use of the
police. 1t will be heated, lighted
and furnished with a telephone and
will be entered only from an outside
door. The entire building is to be
steam heated and all of the rooms
are to be supplied with toilet rooms
and other conveniences.
The work, it is expecting. will take
about go days. The old building
will have to be raised several inches
to get proper drainage, but the work
will not interfere with the use of the |
building for ticket selling.
The carpenters work will be done |
by the railroads own construction
crew. The concrete work will prob
ably be done by contract and the
grading of the park will be taken up
later.

Looking to Depot Improve
ments, Perhaps Radi-
cal Ones.
WORK NOT STARTED.
Inspection Showed the Nee
essity for New Plans
Pres. Newell Coming.

The Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany sent a force of workmen here
some time ago to begin making
some minor repairs on the passenger
station, but after making an exami-
nation it was decided that something
more was needed and a blueprint
was made of the surroundings and a
postponement of actual work follow
ed.
A" The first plan was to repaint the
building and put in sanitary closets,
but the necessity of more room was
at once seen and some kind Of a
change is now being considered. The
freight department will have to be
moved to the freight depot unless
an addition of some sort is made to
the passenger station.
1t is not improbable that the prob
able change of management, follow
ing the death of Mr.. Hartman, may
have something to do With it. When
Stuyvesant Fish was President Of
the /. c. a consolidation with
the T. C. was impending, but
when the Hartman interests
deposed Fish and made j. T..
Harahan president the new manage
ment cut loose from the T. c., which
is now operated separately. If the
two roads had been merged, it was
planned to erect a new depot out at
the Y at the foot of Thirteenth street
and this was the real reason why no
depot improvements have been
made heretofore by the l. G.
If the change caused by Harri-
mans death puts the 7. C.'s friends
in control again, and recent develop
ments point that way, fine new
depot on a different, site may be
looked forward to.

Matte Major, she did some most eff

Coal Company Sued.

SUIT was filed yesterday by the
New York Coal company, T.. M
Foston, president, against the New
Pittsburg Coal company for $25,
254 72 damages alleged to be due
because of the violation of lease
by the defendant for 24O acres of
coal land at Monday, Hooking
County.
At least 30, 900 tons was to be
mined the first Of the year (1S94)
md go, 900 tons each succeeding g
year. At the expiration of the
lease the tipples, hoppers, mine
track and other equipment was to
become the property of the lessees
The lease was to be forfeited for
failure on the part of the lessor to
comply with the conditions.
1t is claimed that no coal has
been mined from the property
since July 1, 1903, but that since
that time the mine entries and
equipment have been used to
handle 721, ,849 tons of coal taken
from adjacent mines of the New

probation and wear and tear on
the equipment, estimated at 81
cents per ton, makes the amount
claimed.

Business College.

Business men of Logan and our
people generally are taking much
interest in the proposed business
college for Logan. Mr.. w. M
Cray and Mr.. Geo. Alvoid, of Co
lumbus are here and are asking
our people to take some stock in q
Logan branch of the Columbu
Business College. They have Sc
cured the second floor of the Rem
pei Bank building, formerly occu
pied by the Eiks, for their schoo'
room, and the location is most
convenient and excellent. The Co.
lumbus Business College, through
their agents are asking that Lo
gan citizens take few shares n
the incorporation to insure local
interest. They have thus estab-
lished colleges in Pomeroy, Ath-
ems, Gallipolis, Jackson, Mt. Yer
non and Bucyrus. The college in.
sures to it's graduates, good posi-
tlons at once, or refund every cent
of the tuition money. That seems
fair enough. We believe busl-
ness college for Logan would be
one step forward in our grand ed
ucational attainment.

$4,000 Per Year.

New York, June 25.-Supreme
Court Justice Bowling this after
noon decided the separation suit
brought by Mrs. Katherine Glenn
mons Gould in her favor and
granted her alimony in the sum of
$4,000 month.
In making his decision, Justice
Bowling said that the charge of
habitual intoXication made by her
husband, Howard Gould, had not
been substantiated and that the
allegations about her conduct with
Dustin Farnum did not justify her
abandonment, for Gould had left
her before this alleged conduct
with the actor occurred.
The almony of $50, 900 a year
is an increase of $ll 900 over what
Gould has been paying his wife.
1t is subject to reduction If Mrs,
Gould returns to the stage.
