Eager to Enlist

Many Kentuckians notified the
War Department through mem
bers of the Kentucky delegation
that they may be counted on to
help fight for the flag. E. H. Lii
lard, Secretary of Senator Brad
ley, who was commissioned as
Lieut.. Colonel in the second regi-
ment, Kentucky National Guards
was among the first to offer his
services. Also word from Read
P. Black, of Barbourville, Clerk
of Knox county, that he was anx-
ious to enlist, and Brig. General
Rodger D. Williams, of Lexing-
ton, commander of the Kentucky
militia, notified the War Depart
ment that the Kentucky State
troops were ready to lend any
possible assistance in the i'm.
pending war.

The Modern Rifle

Thursdays Lexington Leader
says: "a bullet fired from the
latest model Springfield rifle by
Lieutenant Fred w. Staples at
Jackson Armory yesterday after
noon penetrated twenty-six inches
of yellow pine, one fourth inch of
steel, two thick cement walls,
two inches of oak and finally
lodged in Capt. Matt Savage
Walton's kit box. Lieut.. Staples
says that in case the local com
pany goes to Mexico the Mexi-
cans cannot save their lives by
hiding behind trees as the new
rifles will shoot through the tim.

STATE MILITIA
At Fl. THOMAS
PROVIDING THERE is A CALL FOR
KENTUCKY TROOPS FOR
MEXICO.
SELECTION AFTER CONTEST
War Department Decided Upon Fort
Thomas After Having First Planned
the Mobilization at Lexington
The Fort An Ideal Location.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Frankfort, Ky.-The war depart
ment has selected Fort Thomas as the
headquarters for the mobilization of
the Kentucky State troops in case
there is call made by President Wilson
for the militia. The selection was
made only after a spirited contest be-
tween Congressman Rouse, who work
ed for Fort Thomas, and Congressman
Cantrell, who fought to have the
troops gather at Lexington. 1t was
pointed out that the government post
is peculiarly adapted to receiving the
troops and is thoroughly equipped to
handle the three regiments which COM
pose the Kentucky National Guard.
Practically all the companies have
their full quota of men, and Acting
Adjutant General ]. Tandy Ellis has
complied with the war department S
orders regarding the efficiency of the
militia. The officers are equipped with
the new army revolvers and other
paraphernalia. Each regiment has a
hospital attachment, the First at
Louisville, the Second at Beattyville
and the Third at Darlington Besides
which there is field hospital detach-
ment at Louisville.
1t was thought at first that the
troops would be modified at Lexing-
ton, but after some consideration OF
the railroad facilities and the good
location of Fort Thomas the latter
place was given the preference.

BRINGING IN THE LAST
OF THE AMERICANS.

Galveston, Texas.-The battle ship
Connecticut and torpedo boat convoy
Dixie came into port, bringing the last
of the American refugees from Tam
pico and nearby districts.
There may be five or six Americans
still in Tampico, but they would not
leave" said Captain ]. Knapp, of the
Connecticut, just after the battle ship
dropped anchor. There are 400 refu-
gees on the Connecticut and $40 on
the Dixie.
On board the steamship Esperanto,
that came in from Tampico, there were
377 Americans, who had fed from
Mexico. In all there are about 2,100
American refugees held here in quar-
antine on the ships, whose release is
expected shortly.
The story of the anti-American riot
in Tampico, when German officers and
sailors went to the rescue of the
American refugees and escorted 20
women and children aboard the Ger
man cruiser Dresden, was told by ref
ugees on their arrival.

William NJ. Coins, a Lexington
boy, is gunner's Captain on the
flagship of Admiral Fletcher's

Cruz last Tuesday night. Miss
Margaret Coins, a sister of Mr..

Frightened toDeath

Sherman and Veryl Russ, chill
dren of about five years, at
Swampscott, Mass, tried to see
which could stuff the most mar
bles into his mouth. The result
was fatal to both. Choking, and
black in the face, the boys ran
to their mother. She was able
to extract the marbles, but the
children died a short time later.

Eliminating the Rooster.

Little does the Kentucky rooster
realize what the department of agri
culture and the Kentucky poultry
dealers have framed up on him. From
May l to December 1, now and here
after, according to an announcement
he is to be deprived of the society Of
the fair seX-that is, the hens. He is
to be sold for slaughter at hen-and
pullet prices, and May 16 has been
set aside as Rooster day" in Ken.
lucky and Tennessee. The depart.
mental bulletin follows:
In the interest Of the infertile egg
the poultry specialists of the depart
ment of agriculture have started q
campaign for the elimination of the
rooster among poultry focks during
the seasons between May 1 and De
cember l. In this connection Satur
day, May 16, has been set aside as
Rooster day in Kentucky and Ten
nessee, when every poultry dealer il
these states has agreed to pay the
same prices for roosters as they dc
for hens and pullets.
On May Is the school authorities Of
the cities, counties and towns of Ken
lucky and Tennessee have been re
Quested to announce rooster day to the
scholars, and it is expected that it viii
be observed. 1t is supposed othel
states will follow the lead of these
two states and that Rooster Days
will be pretty generally established.

Frankfort.-Patent antiquities in

Plenty of Finances

1t has been authoritatively ex-
pressed that the United States
could finance a war with Mexico
and scarcely feel it. The Govern
ments finances are considered to
be in an excellent condition; so
good in fact, that even the treas.
ury officials who are in the clos
est touch with the situation have
given only tentative consideration
to the subject of providing a war
fund.

Illustrate Mine Explosion.


One of the big attractions which will
be offered here at the sessions of the
Kentucky Mining Institute, which will
be held on May s and 9, will be a
graphic and lifelike representation of
coal mine explosion, such as occur
so often in mining. While the illus
tration will be an exact reproduction
of a real deadly explosion, it will be,
OF course, without fatal or dangerous
effects, but it will give the experts
and practical miners an opportunity
to study the causes and effects of such
explosions, and the rescuing crews
will do their work with the same vigor
and necessity for caution for their
own protection as if real disaster
had occurred. The spectacle will be
brought about by the use of the big
explosion tube belonging to the United
States bureau of mines. The expenses
of transporting the structure are very
heavy, but this was finally arranged
by the Lexington Commercial club, the
L. &. N. railroad, the mine owners and
the state mining institute.
