BIRD SAYS SALOONS MUST
CLOSE LINC0LN's BIRTHDAY
This Means Another Long, Dry Week
End as Holiday Falls on
Saturday.

Detroit IS due for another long, dry
weekend, when the saloonkeepers will
again tear their hair on account OF
having to close up on Saturday and
Sunday, TOO.
Lincoln's birthday. which falls on
Saturday, Feb. IL, is classed as a real
legal holiday under the liquor laws,
and not as a special holiday, subject
to dispute, as in the case of Columbus
day.
Police Commissioner Croul received
the following telegram from Attorney
General Bird, Saturday morning:
Saloons close Lincoln's birthday"
The commissioner says that he
wants to give aaloonmen plenty Of
warning that that means that they
must close.

At Work on the Paris Pike.

Instead of beginning work at
the quarry of Major ID. j. Burch-
EFT, as heretofore announced, arran-
gements have been made and a
large force of hands are now quar-
crying rock on the Hurt farm, pre-
paratory to moving the crusher
there. 1t was found upon investi-
cation that it was necessary to
build an expensive road in con-
nection with the Burchett quarry
and it was thought best, in order
to save time, to begin work at the
Hurt quarry first.
Just as soon as the crusher has
finished crushing the Olympia rock
now being crushed in Mt. Sterling
and being used on the Maysville
pike, the crusher will be moved to
the Hurt quarry, which will likely
be sometime during the present
week.

To Deliver Blue Grass Seed.

Some thirty thousand bushels of
blue grass seed which was sold by
the Independents of Clark, Mont
gomery and Bourbon about a
month ago to G. 5. Brent and
Brother, will be delivered the first
ten days of August.
A pool was formed by number
of farmers of these three counties
to handle their seed. They were
successful in making an immediate
sale to Brent and Brother who
were acting for themselves and
several other parties.
The price realized was SIS for
August delivery. The price was a
good one for the seed delivered.
Blue grass seed now, clean for
planting, for fall delivery is 50. Is
and will probably range to So and

Governor Harmon might have
evaded any part in that dispute.
He could have allowed the local
officers to solve the situation, and
had he assumed the usual roll of
the conciliating politician, might
have remained up in the Michigan
woods away from the scene. In
stead he cut short his vacation
when notified of the outrage. He
hurried to his home and thence to

pended the Mayor and directing

preferred against the Sheriff, and

Governor Harmon has brought

eye with red blood in his veins,

of the situation has taken the
country by storms. And yet he
simply did his duty. Everywhere

Governor Harmon Saves Ohio
From Disgrace.

Judson Harmon has again vim
dictated the wisdom of the people
who elected him Governor of Ohio.
1t is peculiarly pleasing to Demo-
Gratis to note that the cup of pub
lie appreciation is overlooking, for
the Democratic administration in
the Buckeye State was put in on
trial and an opportunity thus given
to the voters of that great Com
mOnwealth to compare the Demo-
cratic administration with its Re-
publican predecessors. That COM
parlson is of vast benefit to the
Democracy, but in a broader view
the benefits of Governor Harmon's
administration overspread party
lines just as the splendid courage
of his Newark policy has over
flowed Ohio's borders. The press
of the United States, irrespective
of party utilization, has joined with
the people of Ohio in paying trib-
ute to Governor Harmon, and his
action under very trying circum-
stances has easily overshadowed all
other national topics.
The CITY of Newark, it appears,
had been severely liberal in its in
depreciation of the personal lib
erty" statutes. In other words,
the lid was off" in Newark. A
citizens committee, with one of
which every citizen has at some
time or another been favored, had
been organized in Newark deter
mined to keep the saloons closed
in strict observance of the excise
regulations, to close all gambling
rooms, stop music in concert halls
having bar attachments, and other
wise enforce the statutes. The
Mayor, the Sheriff and about
everybody else, holding office, in
GLIDING the police department,
were members in high standing of
the. Good Fellow League" They
believe in the open door, and
catered more for votes than for
righteousness. Newark, it APP
pears, SO far as it was governed at
all, was ill-governed. The peo-
pie grew to have but little respect
for the law as the developments of
the month of July indicate. The
Citizens Committee was making a
brave stand against tremendous
odds. The officers and members
were singled out; not only for
ridicule and abuse, but were fire.
quently forced to defend them
selves against personal assault.
About July / the President of the
committee was set upon by a gang
and severely beaten. The com
mittee hired some detectives TO OBJ
tain evidence against those who
were violating the law, and among
those detectives was one Ethering-
ton, boy from Kentucky. He
was a fearless chap, and game.
Cornered in the discharge of his
duty he shot and killel a saloon
keeper whose place was being
raided. For that active do not
know that it was an otfense-he
was arrested and lodged in Jail.
The boy had not been in Jail
long when the mob spirit of the
Unlawful element began to assert
itself. A rope and battering ram

ark looked on in indifference and
inefficiency, if not cowardice.
There was a raid on the Jail. The

whimper before impending death.

HEAVY STORM
Visits Jefferson County--Sev-

The extent of the damage
wrough by the wind and hailstorm
in Jefferson county Wednesday
morning continues to grow as
meager reports from the cyclone
swept district are received. Tele-
phone wires are down all the way
to Lagrange and the Pewee Valley
cars can only run as far as O'Ban-
non because of the havoc wrought
by falling trees and rushing
waters.
Two beautiful country homes
were partly wrecked by the force
of the gale, which is said to have
blown seventy and seventy-fve
miles an hour. The front porch
of the residence of E. NJ. Cole
man, of the Home Telephone 20. ,
at MaXey's Station, was torn
away and demolished. Five giant
forest trees were uprooted as
though they were weeds. The
roof on the home of Richard Col
Inns, at O'Bannon, was lifted, the
outhouses blown about and the
trees in the beautiful yard up
rooted.

About Seatonsville hundreds

rapidly within an hour that it was
feared that they would go on ram
pages. The hailstorm was the
most severe about St. Matthews,

aye and Baskerville. In the neigh

corn and tobacco were torn to
pieces by large hailstones.
