Franchises Sold.

Friday morning at ten o'clock
the city had sold to the highest
and best bidder a twenty year
water franchise, also a twenty
year lighting franchise. Both of
the above franchises were purch-
ased by the Mt. Sterling Water,
Light & Ice Co. The purchasing
of these franchises will enable the
company to now borrow the money
for the erection of a SIS, 100000
filter system. The stockholders of
the company, accompanied by the
members of the city council, will
90 to Towards Mill today to Sc
lect the site for the erection of the
filter plant and work will be start
ed on same at once. When this has
been completed Mt. Sterling will
have as fine a supply of pure
water as any city in the State. 1t
is hoped to have the system in
stalled by fall.

WINS DERBY
Worth Proves Himself
a Classy Colt in Race
Saturday.
Breaks In Front and Is Never
Headed.--Time FOG 2-5.

Worth, the sterling son of the
Knight of the Thistle, proved his
class before large crowd Satur-
day by winning the 38th Kentucky
Derby in grand style. Jockey
Shilling sent him to the front at
the release of the barrier and the
big brown colt was never headed.
The track was muddy and it look
ed like Wheelright had a grand
chance but he proved a disappoint-
ment to his hackers. Duval, a
rank outsider, proved the surprise
in the race, he giving Worth a
nice run in the stretch, and was
only beaten a neck. Jockey Shil-
ling handled his mount with su-
perb judgment and much credit is
due him. Flamma finished third
and is the second mare to ever
finish in the money in this historic
race. The Manager, the grand
colt of Major T. c. Mcdowell,
owing to the heavy track, was
scratched, so the question of su-
periority between he and Worth
is still in doubt. 1t is estimated
that 10000 people witnessed the
running of the classic. There
were seven starters in the race but
outside of the ones above named
the others were always outpaced.

EX-POStmdSter Made Chairman.

Mr.. Ben. w. Hall, ex-Postmas-

one of the Republican leaders in
this county, was, after a stormy
session of the County Committee
Saturday afternoon, elected Chair
man on the sixth ballot over Mr..
G. l.. kirkpatrick and Mr.. H. G..
Ledford. Mr.. Hall is an anti
administration man. Mr.. q. l..
Kirkpatrick was elected Secretary
and Mr.. r. H. White Treasurer.
The fight over the chairmanship
has developed considerable feeling
and there is more dissention in the
Republican ranks here than there
has been for years. The admins
tration crowd thought they were
sure winners and were sadly dis
appointed.

and who was out on bond, while

Sterling Minstrel Makes hit.

The Sterling Minstrel given un-
der the auspices of the Woodmen
of the World of this city in Ash
land Thursday night made quite a
hit with the small but appreciative
audience. The Ashland indie
pendent pays the boys the follow
ing compliment:
"The Sterling Minstrels pre-
scented their splendid entertain
ment at the Ashland Theatre last
night, but we are sorry to say,
they were not greeted by as large
an audience as the merit of the
performance demanded; however,
the house was considerably more
than half filled, and those who
were there thoroughly enjoyed
every minute of the time.
As has previously been stated
in the Independent, the Sterling
Minstrels are made up of the lead
ing business and professional men
of the city of Mt. Sterling, and
they reproduced the play here
which they recently gave at Mt.
Sterling. The performers are all
amateurs, yet many of them put
on work that would do credit to a
professional. The costumes were
elegant, the decorations good and
taken altogether, it was a very
pleasing and creditable entertain
ment. The singing, which is al
ways one Of the main features of a
minstrel, was high class in every
respect, and the jokes gotten off
by the end men, were unusually
bright and up-to-date, and free
from any faint of vulgarity.
The second part of the program
was unusually breezy and had two
or three features that we're moth
ing, if not up-to-date. One of
these was a solo, "I'll Change the
Thorns to Roses" by Mmse Per-
unaosa. of the Metropolitan Opera
House. This proved to be Mr..
Gemmill Senff, of Mt. Sterling,
,who was dressedas woman. Mr..
Senff has a very fine voice, and
he fooled at least two-thirds of the
audience, who thought that it was
really a lady who was performing.
When he removed his hat.and wig
at the close of the last verse, the
audience was completely surprised,
and he was greeted with rounds of
applause. The other breeziest of
the breezy features referred to
above was the Turkey Trot, by
Wyatt and Clay. to the song en-
titled, "Eyerybody's DOM It," by
Paul Weckesser. This brought
down the curtain, and also the
house.
The Woodmen of the World de-
serve credit for bringing this
endid,organizstion here. The
gentlemen composing the Sterling
Minstrels may rest assured that
they made quite a hit while in our
city, as we'll as making many warm
personal friends. We trust their
visit here was happy one, and
that they may come again"

who scored phenomenal success in
the role OF Captain Dick Warrington,
In Mr.. oscar Hammerstein's new COM
lc opera, Naughty Marietta, who
