ADDITIONAL ALLOWANCE
George F. Bowerman, in Annual Re

George F. Bowerman, librarian. rec
commended additional funds for the sup

mitted yesterday, which was reiterated
by the board of trustees of that insti-
tuition in their report
DR.. Bowerman urges that the increased
demands made on the facilities of the
library necessitate larger and a bet

In reviewing the nbrary's work, DR..
Bowerman shows that expenditures have
increased from $4,000 in 1904 to sss,So7 in
1873 or an increase of 50 per cent, while
the book stock in the same time has in
creased 142 per cent.
A table of costs of maintaining Libraries

that twenty out of twenty-siX cities

The Department of Agriculture, un-

The department finds advertisements
in publications which state that the
man or woman whose name is at
tached was saved from death from
serious disease through a wonderful
prescription given to him or her by
a physician of unusual skill, who will
not allow his name to be used, because
of medical ethics.

course a regular prescription is re-

Reduced Parcel Post Rates

The Postmaster General has an
nounced a coming reduction in par.
eel post rates which should be OF
much interest to the public and to
those who are engaged in mail order
merchandising.
The changes, as explained In
Washington dispatches, apply to
the first and second zones. The
maximum weight limit, which a,
present is eleven pounds, is raised
to twenty pounds. The presenl
rate for the first or ulocalr zone is
5 cents for the first pound and I cen,
for each additions al pound up to
eleven pounds. The new rate in
this zone will be , cents for the first
pound and ! cent for each addition
al two pounds up to twenty pounds.
The present rate for the second
zone, which embraces territory with
IN I5o-m mile air line radius, is 6
cents for the first pound and 4 cents
for each additional pound up to
eleven pounds. The new rate will
be 8 cents for the first pound and
one cent for each additional pound
up to twenty pounds.
The new rates will become effect
i've on August IS. 1t Is expected
that further reductions in other
zones will be made later on. About
one'third of all the parcel-post busi-
ness, however, is done in the first
two zones, and the changes to take
effect next month are expected
greatly to increase the use of the
parcel post. The recent regulation
which permits the use of ordinary
stamps on packages, instead of the
distinctive stamps at first required,
will facilitate the parcel-post bust
ness and make it more popular with
the masses.
The new Postmaster General is
working along The right line for the
development of this mo st important
branch of the postal department.
Parcel-post business already is grow.
ing at a rate which exceeds all es.
Inmates, and it will be stimulated to
a marked degree by the reduction
in rates.

eighteen have printed history.
OF these Roberts history of Muh-
lenberg county is by far the best in
every respect. In fact, We doubt
whether any other state in the I'm,
ion has. among its county histories,
one that surpasses this work from
the standpoint of number and beauty
of illustrations or abundance of
original and painstaking research.
Some county histories are mere
pamphlets based on few of the old
court records. a number of count
les have for history large volumes
printed on inferior paper. Such
volumes, as a rule, contain hastily
complied and uninterestingly pres
ented data, give only fewof the old
traditions aud include none other
than paid for biographies. Roth
ert's history is, by no means, a
book of that character, its many
local traditions, its literary style,
ITS high class typographical and
press workmanship and the fact that
the biographies of the men and
women that arc woven into the text
are the authors own selection and
are published free of cost, all 60 to
ward making this the best and most
artistic county history ever produc
ed IN Kentucky.
If the people of Muhlenberg
county alone who should have this
book accept the opportunity, the
limited edition will be exhausted.
Any kentuckian, at home or abroad,
will find in it much that will interest
and delight, and the book Will prove
the most treasured volume in his
collection however large.

LATER--Special agents of the Hi
nois Central railroad, in searching
for the cause of the wreck, dIscov,
cred evidence on one of the rails
that some sort of obstruction had
been placed on the track. They
began at once to closely question
persons who lived nearby, and in
conversation with Benjam Avery,
year-old bov who lives ON the
Ed. Frost farm, where the wreck oc
cured, were led from some remarks
made by the boy to believe that he
knew all about it. After some con
versaiion, the boy confessed that he
placed railroad spike on top Of
the rails, between the joints, to see
what the train rolling over 1t would
do. The boy had no idea of the
danger of his act, or the terrible in
jury that would follow, expecting
that the spike would be flattened by
the heavy train. He gave full de-
tails of his act, identified a spike
that was found nearby, and volun-
tarlly accompanied officers to this
city, where an examining trial was
held, and he made his confession to
the court. The hoy u held Ia the
grand jury on the charge OF wreck

Orleans limited, was wrecked abou,
two miles east of Central City abou,
$40 o'clock last Sunday after
noon, the engine leaving the track
and upturning after leaving a ten
foot embankment. The baggage,
express and mail cars and smoker
were thrown on their sides and lay
twisted across the track, two other
coaches were derailed, and only the
last sleeper remained on the rails.
1t was an ugly mix-up, but nobody
was fatally injured, and none of the
passengers received serious hurts,
but many were shaken up consider
ably. VIM. Curley, engineer, was
the most seriously hurt, both legs
laccrated and a scalp wound render

Ludlow, fireman, was also cut and
bruised, but less seriously, aud

train was heavily loaded, and it is
miraculous that there was not great
loss of life; the entire tram was of
steel construction, and 10 this is al

1t is thought the accident was caus-
ed by a broken point on a rail,
