ginia this morning it revealed to
thousands of flood sufferers a wide
scene of desolation, touched here and
there with ruin and shadows of the
torrents death toll. Early today there
had been received in Pittsburg re-
ports that, if verified, will bring the
total death list in the three tide-smit-
ten states up to three score.
The Death List.
The roll of fatalities today was:
Uniontown, Pa, IA drowned
Smock, Pa, located in Redstone
Valley, IA reported drowned
Grindstone, Pa, II miners reported

Wheeling, w. Va, drowned.
Lemont, Pa, 4 miners reported

Ellenwood, Pa, H. L. King, wife
and child drowned
New Martinsville, 6 reported

Of this list of 81 fatalities it has
been possible to account definite for
%. Those who are known to have
met death are at Uniontown, Wheel
ing, Ellswood, Fairmont and Monon-
gah.
Mines Hold Gruesome Secret.
There is another danger source
that may add to the death toll. A
large number of mines were flooded.
Workingmen were compelled to flee
for their lives. Whether some or all
of the miners reported missing es-
capped drowning, can only be ascer-
tanned by time 1t will take months
to clear the mines of water.
Many sections of the ood territory
have not been heard from up to
late hour today. What has taken
place at these places is not known.
When the disastrous storms, cloud
bursts and floods swept over the
large area yesterday, scores of the
towns afflicted were just recovering
from deluge that pelted them last
Sunday morning. Yesterdays storm
drove hundreds of families from their
homes; residences were damaged or
completely demolished; streets were
torn up by the mile, or piled high
with tons of debris, carried by the
flood waters.
The Sweep of the Flood.
Poles were uprooted and wires
dropped to the streets, blocking COM
munication from many points and
causing darkness at many others.
Railroads and street car facilities
were practically suspended until af-
ter midnight, when washed out tracks
were repaired Or debris moved along
some of the routes.
Dunbar, Pa, nine miles west of
Unlontown, is the center of the re-
gion of desolation, in Pennsylvania.
The flood waters swept away homes
and business houses, did serious dam
age to mines, furnace and coke plants
and spread terror into the hearts of
thousands.
Dunbar Was Warned.
The flood reached Dunbar at 2.15I
p. m J. w. Fonner of the Central
hotel, was at his desk when the tele-
phone bell rang On the other end
of the line was Albert Dunn, book
keeper of the A v Purnell 3luestone
quarries, two miles above the town.
There's an awful floow coming
Warn the people quick. All the dams
above here have burst" Dunn shout
ed to Fonner, who dropped the re-
ceiver and rushed into the street.
With all the strength of his lungs
Fonner shouted to the people in the
streets to run for their lives to the
hillfdes. The alarm spread like
wild fire, and in an instant buildings
and stores were evacuated by droves
of people rushes pellmell for safety

There will be several attractions in

Corn Club exhibition and the awarding
of prizes will be held in the office of
County Supt. Jennie Higgins, Mr.. w.
H. Rogers of the College of Agricul-
ture will be here to judge the exhibits
and will also give lecture on the
Boys Corn Clubs and the advantages of
the College of Agriculture, and which
should be heard by every boy in the

man has discovered it could be. How
many hundreds of precious lives may
be saved annually through the infiuen-
cy of such a discovery.
tuberculosis or consumption has
come to be one of the greatest menaces
to human life, more people dying from
it annually than from any other known
disease. And all measures taken for
its eradication, cure, or even checking
it's ravages, have so far proven un-
awaiting. In almost every state anti
tuberculosis societies are organized and
are devoting much time to the study
and care of the disease, but at the
very best they can but educate the
people as to the best mode of living,
the observance of the laws of santa
ton, and the best methods to avoid
contracting the disease.
And why should Dr. Friedman's dis
covery not be realty? The medical
world agree that time a successful
treatment for tuberculosis will be dis.
covered, and why should not DR.. Fried.
man, even though he be an ''obscure
practitioner, make this discovery, as
well as one who stands higher in the
medical world. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped he has made the discovery, anc
if he has his name will be handled dowr
as one of the greatest benefactors OF
mankind the world has ever known.

Pulaski County Goes Dry.

The local option election held in Pull
ask county on Tuesday was won by
the ''drys'', 20 out of "a precincts CIV
ing a majority of over 10000, which is
expected to be materially increased by
full returns. The city of Somerset
gave dry majority of 14O. About
four years ago an election in Somerset
resulted in victory for the liquor peo-
pie and since that time there has been
from ten to fifteen saloons there, but
when the vote was taken with the cou-
nty as unit the drys won, and the sa-
looms will now cease to exist. They
will probably contest the validity of
the election.

Bank Statements.

The statements of the various finan
cial institutions of the county are be-
ing published in the Record, as is usual
at this time of year, the National and
Citizens National of Lancaster last
week, the Garrard Bank and Trust Co.
of Lancaster and the Bank of Bryants-
vile this week, and Paint Lick yet to
follow. All of these institutions are in
a thriving condition and show a nice
surplus to the good for the year. Gar
rard county has five banks, all of which
are well worth being proud of, and all
in thrifty condition. Eeah and every
one of them have splendid gentlemen
as their officers and directors, and they
view with each other as to who can be
the most accommodating to their Gus
toners. In turn it is but just that
every dollar of Garrard county money
should be deposited in Garrard county
banks, and the farmers when selling
their tobacco in neighboring towns
should bring their checks home for de-
posit and collection.

Famouse Cincinnati Hosiery Burns.

The Gibson House, one of Cincin-
MATHS most prominent hosteries for
the last half century, and the rendesv-
Gus for prominent politicians from all
over the country, was destroyed by
fire Tuesday night. So rapid did the
flames spread that the police are in
clined to the belief that there was
probably some loss of life, though the
hotel management insist that all their
guests escaped. The Rendigs-Holtman
Co., department store, tt e Douglas
Shoe Co. and the offices of the Miss
ouri Pacific R. K. Co. were also de-
stroyed, and the upper ten stories of
the Union Trust building, a seventeen
story freproof office building, were
Quilted. Property loss is estimated at

Christian Church OF Lancaster To Erect
Handsome Addition To Their Build
ing In Early Spring,

The congregation of the local Chris
tian church will build handsome adj
dition to their church as soon in the
spring of 1913 as the weather will per-
nit. The old edifice with the exception
of the main auditorium will be RACED
and thirteen additional rooms will be
built, including Sunday school and
class rooms. ladies parlor, lavatory and
library. A new and modern heating
plant will also be installed. The ad-
dition will be built in the rear and to
the south of the old structure and will
be modern in every respect. The same
artitect who drew the plans for our
handsome new graded school building
will furnish the plans for the church
addition, and the proposed work will
cost somewhere in the neighbcrhood of
S., 900.
At the meetings held on last Sunday
between $500. and $1,000. was sub
scribed, and sufficient amount is ex-
pected to be raised this week which
by the funds already on
hand will suffice to pay the expense of
erecting the new addition.
The local Christian church has a
of over 400, and the con-
gregation takes great pride in their
church edifice, and it is their desire to
have it second to none in this section
of Kentucky, and the iberality with
which they answer to the call for funds
with which to make the improvement
would indicate that they intend to place
their church in the front rank. The
new addition will be. of pressed brick
with stone foundation and when COM
pleted will present handsome appear

The daily press is heralding the dis
covery by DIR. Frederick Franz Fried
man of Berlin Germany of cure for
tuberculosis. The DR.. claims, accord
ing to the press, that he has discovered
serum obtained from turtles, which
will cure the dread disease, in most
cases with one treatment, but invari-
ably with as many as three injections.
1t is claimed that the disease may be
cured in very short time, even in its
most advanced stages. 1t is not claim
ed that it will restore lost lungs or
tissues, but that if the patient has
sufficient vitality to stand the treat
ment, which is in no wise severe, he
may be cured. DR.. Friedman claims
the cost of the serum will be nominal.
the actual cost of manufacture being
less than one dollar per dose. and that
as the cultures multiply very rapidly,
it may be procured in inexhaustible
quantities.
The medical fraternity differ widely
as to the discovery, some claiming
that DIR. Friedman is an obscure physi-
clan and that were the discovery true
it would be heralIed through the medi-
cal press and would not come first
handed through the lay press. Other
physicians accept the reported discove-
ry as true, and will so believe until
they are convinced to the contrary.
What boon to humanity if such a
discovery has been made, if this dread
disease may be cured as readily and as
easily as it is reported that DR.. Fried
