ASKED FOR
FRANCHISE
And Council Passes Ordinance
Ordering One To Be
Sold.
WATER COMPANY IS GROWING
Expects To Spend $4,000 Or
More Improving Its
Plant.

At q special meeting of the City
Council Monday night an ordinance
was passed at the request Of the
Hopkinsville Water Co., ordering
the sale of new franchise to take
the place of the one the company is
now operating under. The first
franchise was sold in 1895 and the
present one in 1905 for period of
20 years. Certain changes were dis
cussed and agreed to, but the fran
chise in the main is a copy of the
old one. The Water Company is
preparing to make exten addi-
tions to the plant and the extension
of its franchise was asked for to en-
able it to float its proposed bonds to
better advantage. A new engine is
to be installed and other improve
ments made to the extent Of $50, 900.
One OF the improvements will be q
hydraulic valve at the standpipe to
give immediate pressure from the
pumps in the plant in case of fire.
Upon the approval and publication
of the ordinance the council will or
der the sale of the franchise at some
date within the next thirty days.

FRANKFORT
Liquor interests Are Making
Use of Federal Courts
I Decision.

Frankfort, KY. Feb 21.-The re.
cent decision of federal court per-
hitting express companies to carry
interstate shipments of liquor into
dry territory in spite of prOhibitory
state laws is being used by the liquor
interests of Kentucky as an argu-
ment against the enactment of the
pending bill extending the county
unit to the entire state. This decis
ion is cited in a memorial signed by
7. M. Gilmore, president of the
model license league, which has
reached the members of the legisla-
ture. He makes the plea that under
that decision an extension of the
county unit will amount 10 discrimi
nation against Kentucky's own
famous product and urges if the law is
enacted it be so amended as to pro-
hibit the purchase or possession"
of intoxicating liquor in dry
counties.
The senate Tuesday passed a bill
sppropriating $3.50 for the Perry
centennial celebration.
The Knight automobile bill pass
ed the lower branch unanimously.

Addressed The General Assem-
bly, Tuesday After
noon
BY GOVERNOR
Unrest That Demands Govern
mental Changes Due to
Public Servants.

Frankfort, KY Feb 21.-Judson
Harmon, of Ohio, Tuesday warned
the Kentucky state legislature and
all public office holders to analyze
their own records to see just how
much they were responsible for the
unrest that, he said, was making a
demand for innovations in govern
ment, generally. Gov. Harmon spoke
briefly at yesterdays session in an
swer to a recent invitation of the
Legislators. He said in part:
Whatever we may think of the
innovations Of government we are
hearing so much about, it behooves
every one who holds public position
to make diligent self-search to find
whether any short. coming on his part
figures in the unrest which the pro-
possl of these changes signifies. For.
while some doubtless advocate them
fer ether reasons. the greater num-
Der would not lend an ear without
some real Or supposed ground for
discomfort with public agencies as
they are.
And it must be noted that all are
involved in the measures in question.
I may fairly be said that the sup
port these devices receive varies
with the real or supposed need Of
them, as well as with opinions about
the balance of advantage in them"
Gov. Harmon then recounted two
of the changes that have been effect
ed since his administration in Ohio
began the substitution of a single
board of administration for the nine
teen state institutions and the adop.
ton of a uniform tax rate.
While in Frankfort Gov. Harmon
was the guest of Gov. McCreary.

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments
Of cavalry forming part OF the British
troops. They are sa':a:::
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the kings
but yours. ours. everybody's
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes Of life, diseases, nnd allies
in the very elements ~ colds. in
fluenza, catarrh, the grip. and pneu-
monia do in the stormy month Of
March. The best way that we know Of
to guard against these diseases is to
strengthen the system with Hoods
sarsaparilia-the greatest Of all life
guards. It removes the conditions in
which these diseases make their most
successful attack, gives vigor and tone
to all the vital organs and functions.
and imparts a genial warmth to the
blood Remember the weaker the ays-
tenn the greater the exposure to dis
ease. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the
system strong.

STRIKERS AS MINsTRELs.
Waterloo Railroad Union Mem Pleas,
Large Audience at Odeon.

-
Waterloo strikers, former employees
in the Illinois Central shops of that
city, who have been out on strike for
several months, appeared in BLACK
face" minstrelsy at the Odeon Friday
evening before large audience of To-
cal union men and members Of their
families. The strikers made distinct
hit with their audience, and enriched
their strike benefit fund by over 5000.
! Their efforts financially were aided by
Busby Bros. and the Odeon force, the
former donating the playhouse and the
latter by giving their labor free. The
local Trades and Labor Assembly, un-
der whose auspices the amateur pro-
duction was given. also helped, as did
union musicians OF the city, who made
up the orchestra.
When it is kept in mind that it was
an amateur minstrel. given by men
whose occupations are far removed
from tendencies that lead to stage
ability. 1t was a very creditable per-
Torrance and one of which the Wat
erloo men need not be ashamed. They
played to sympathetic audience
which. perhaps made it easier. There
are several fairly good amateur voices
in the cast. Harry Young sings well.
perhaps better than any of the others,
altho Joseph Mullen's falsetto tenor
made hit with the crowd.
Mr.. Young's solo, Star Of the Deep"
was one of the good numbers, as was
also Mr.. Mullen's ballad, I'D Love to
Be in Loveland With Girl Like You"
One OF the comic hits was Josef"
Ned Pullen's coon" song. Where the
River Shannon Flows" an Irish ballad
sung by L. NJ. Haver was a number
that received especial attention from
the emerald Isle contingent OF the au-
dience. In fact there was scarcely a
number that was not applauded until
an encore was given.
The feature Of the oiio was Frank
Soldiers monolog, THE German Sena
tor" Mullen Bros. appeared in q COM
edy sketch and Pullen and Young in a
burlesque train robbery scene.
The cast numbers eighteen, includ
Guiding ]. Fred Bross. interlocutor. and
Otie Weber, Ned Pullen and Frank
Conner, Charles McCluary, William
Brayton and Charles Herman.
The strikers are playing several Iowa
cities, including Cedar Rapids, Gin
ton and Boone while on this trip.

Miss Countiss is now making her
second starring tour under the direc

Tax Levy Propositions.
The usual tax levy proposition,
which is voted upon every year. au-
,horizng the levy for school house
purposes, differs this year only in the
amount asked by the board. Usually
about $4,000 sees the district thru with
ordinary school house expenses. Now,
however, the district is confronted
with the necessity Of building another
school house in the extreme west part
of town, and with this in view the
board is asking for $4,000 more than it
usually asks, in order to start fund
for the new building. The tax levy.
therefore, for this year, to be submitted
to vote Monday. is for $4,000 The
women may vote on this question.
The other question upon which the
women may vote is: Shall the board
