The Wheat Crop.

The past week has been a busy one
with the farmers throughout the en-
tire county. In nearly every section
wheat cutting has been in progress.
III some sections nearly the entire
crop is cut, while in other parts Of
the county there stiH remains some
wheat standing. However, with
good weather prevailing, all the wheat
will be in the shock before the end Of
the present week.
The weather in this section has
been fine for the work of harvesting
and the crop this year will make a
good yield. There have been better
crops than the present one, but 1t is
above the average and in some To-
calities the yield is much better than
last year.
The thrashing process will begin
this week and all things point TO a
successful garnering.

He WANTED TO DIE,
And Took Poison in Front of
Church, After Listening
To a Sermon.

Listening quietly to a sermon in
the Pellville Baptist church Satur-
day afternoon, Sam Bruner, aged
eighteen years, at the close of the
services walked to the steps OF the
church and in front of the congre-
cation, as they filed out, drank two
ounces of muriatic acid, in an at
tempt to take his life, says the Ow-
ensboro Messenger. Physicians were
summoned and antidotes quickly adj
ministered, and the boys life
was saved. Reviving, young Bruner
announced that he wished to die and
that if prevented. he would later ac-
complish the deed.
1t is rumored that Bruner had sew
eral reasons for taking his life.
The family claim that he had been
III bad health, and was a few days
ago stricken while in a field at work
and was unable to walk for a short
time as the result of the attack of
illness. 1t is claimed by friends
that Bruner brooded over the Objec-
tions of the parents of a young lady
to whom he was attentive in the
neighborhood and that they under
stood he was not allowed to go to
the house to see the young woman.
Cot Of hnfnTn the
church services, the boy attempted
to buy carbolic acid at drug store,
but was refused by the druggist, as
he was not of age and had no pre-
scription and the druggist told him
that he had no business with the pois'
on. He left and secured a bottle Of
muriatic acid, which he carried TO
the church with him.
Bruner did not have much to say
after he was revived from the eff
fects of the poison, but claimed that
he had nothing to live for and did
hot want the people to save his life.
The family is much alarmed about
the boy and are keeping 4 careful
watch over him. 1t was found that
all the razors in the house had disap-
peared from their places and it is
believed that the boy hid the razors
and possibly expected to use them
to take his life.
Bruner is a son of James Bruner,
of Greensboro. He has been maxi
ing his home with his grandfather,
Ennis Cawley, at Pellville, and was
working on the farm.

Organized Labor Loses in House.

Washington, June 25.--After an all
day fight President Taft won another
victory in Congress when the House
agreed to recede from the Hughes
amendment to the sundry civil bill
exempting labor organizations from
investigation for violation of the
antitrust law.
President Taft spent the entire day
ard bent every energy toward the de-
feat of the House amendment. He
threw his whole influence into the
Eight, sending for several scores of
representatives and urging them to
defeat the provision. Mr.. Taft de-
clared that if it cost him the sup
port Of every laboring man in the
country, he would not approve such
a provision of law.

WHAT IS DOING
DOWN IN MINES
OF This ard Other Por-
tons of State.
INTERESTING COAL STATISTICS
Briefly Giving Progress and
Happenings in This
Business.

According to the report of State
Mine Inspector Norwood, the ten
counties of the Western district
Butler, Christian, Daviess, Henderson,
Hopkins, Mclean, Muhlenberg, Ohio,
Union and Webster-produced more
than one-half the bituminous coal
mined in 1909 in all Kentucky. The
total amount mined was 1O,296,145
tons, of which the Western district
produced 5,57S,161 tons. The total
value Of the output in the three Ken
tuckv districts was S9,524,3 at the
mines, an average of 9416 cents per
ton. The figures show a decrease of
Sal cents, for all districts, compared
with prices Of 1908, with the average
decrease in the Western district of
1872 cents; for the Southeastern dis
trict, of 5.31 cents and for the North
eastern district, OF 81 cent. .--~-. -..-.--.
The figures show an increase in
mining of 546,S03 tons over the pro-
duction of 1903, with the Western dis
trict showing the greatest decrease
in the amount, $4,000 tons, the in
creases all being in the Southeastern
and Northeastern districts. But the
Western district shows the largest
increase in the number of tons ship
ped outside the State, the percentages
of shipment outside being GAP of the
total output. In the Western district,
the counties making a close finish
were Hopkins, with an output in 1909
Of 1,S471S9 tons. and Muhlenberg,
with an output of 1,SS1,177.
There were thirty-three deaths in
the mines of Kentucky in the last
year. OF the thirty-three, twenty
were caused by falls of top" and
the inspector rightly says that the
number of deaths by falls of top is
altogether too great" He charges it
mostly to an excessive use of pow
der in blasting and he calls attention
to the fact that, under the new laws,
mine foremen can be appointed only
after a strict examination. That is a
good provision. In the meantime
Kentucky ought to mine more coal
and add thereby to the great wealth
Of the State.-[Owensboro Messenger,

The Greensboro Inquirer says:

Inc OWenSDOfO inquirer says:
The organization of the wheat grow
ers of Davies county, known as the
cation, was perfected at a meeting
Daviess County Wheat Growers Asso-
held at the court house Saturday after
noon at 2 o'clock. The meeting was
very enthusiastic one, and was at
tended by some of the best wheat
growers and farmers. of the county.

dent, and Walter Anterior, secretary.
The object of the association is 20
form pool of all the wheat in the
county and as suggested by one of the
members, mot to hold up the con-
sumner for an eXhOrbitant price, but, to
fortify and secure its members against
combinations and manipulations on

tors"
The chairman appointed a commit
tee composed of w. G. Riney, NJ. G..
Wilson, Allen Reid, s. T. Burns and
Hugh Herr, to manage the pooling
and make such arrangements about
securing sacks as may be necessary.
To show the interest manifested ut
the meeting, $500 bushels were pool

citation will have no difficulty in hav-
ing most of the crop raised, pooled
into the organization.
1t is estimated that there are $780,

TIMELY WARNING
ABOUT FLY PEST
Issued by the State Board
Of Health.
FLIES CAUSE OF MANY DEATHS
Always Breed in Filth and
Should be Barred Out
At All Points.

In every town and locality in the
State many people have failed to
heed the numerous warnings that have
been issued against flies. Attention
has been called to the fact that they
are ONE of the most dangerous mem
aces to Life and health with which
mankind has to contend, being respon-
sible for a large proportion of adj ca
SEES of typhoid fever and diarrhoeal
diseases of infants and many cases
of tuberculosis and other contagious
diseases.
They have caused thousands of
deaths in Kentucky and will continue
their work Of des ruction until house
keepers awaken to the fact and in
augurate a warfare that will result in
their determination.
This can be accomplished definitely
and effectively. 1t requires only the
removal of filth. Flies breed in filth
and in filth alone. Without filth there
can be no flies. More than 80 per
cent of them breed i'm stable manure
and the balance in garbage, Dubious
es and other forms of refuse.
The fly season is at hand. Prompt
action at this time may prevent many
deaths during the summer and fan
and a grave responsibility rests upon
all health officers and other citizens.
An immediate and thorough clean
ing of premises should be effected and
further accuumlations of filth avoided.
Stable manure should be kept On
vaults or boxes screened OF covered
or Frequently sprinkled with lime or
kerosene and should be removed at
least once a week.
Garbage receptacles should be care
fully covered and the contents
sprinkled with umslaked lime or oil.
Privy vaults should be made fly
proof and their contents frequently
sprinkled with lime.
In addition 10 the measures for the
prevention of the breeding of flies,
every effort should be made to prevent
them from entering the house or hay
ing access to milk or other foods.
All doors and windows, especially
those of the kitchen and dining-room,
should be screened and ordinances to
this effect should be enacted and en-
forced.
Flies should be especially kept away
from the sick and If one is discover
ed in the sick room 1T should be kill
ed. Excre,a and urine from the sick
should be covered with fresh lime for
an hour and then buried.
People who have cleaned their own
premises should demand that their
neighbors should do likewies and mott
fly the Board OF Health of any failure
or refusals. 1t is important to remem-
Der that no house Is safe unless every
other one for a mile around is clean.
This applies especially to tenants
houses and negro quarters.
The saving OF life and suffering will
amply repay for all the trouble and
expense.
Either man must kill the fly or the
fly will kill the man.-[From the
