TRAGIC DEATH BY
GASOLINE EXPLOSION

Miss Effie Skidmore. aged twenty
years, met horrible death at the home
of Judge Lewis l.. Walker in this city,
where she had lived for several weeks,
In attempting to start a fire from a
can, as she thought was coal oil but
proved to be gasoline. The unfortun-
ate accident happened last Monday
morning about $50 o'clock in the kitch-
en- of Judge Walkers residence. There
was an explosion and instantly she was
enveloped in flames from head to foot
and her clothing was in solid blaze.
In pain and distress she ran into the
adjoining room occupied by Mrs. Epp-
ing, who is an aunt of Mrs. Walker,
and in attempting to extinguish the
flames, Mrs. Epping was seriously but
not dangerously burned. Medical at
tention and the ministration of kind
friends and neighbors were without
avail and relief came to the poor suf-
fering body about midnight of that
fateful day.
She is survived by her parents and
sister. all of whom were at her bedside
when the end came. Much sympathy
is extended the family in their misfor-
tune. The remains were taken to
Waynesburg, in Lincoln county, where
her parents reside, and were buried in
the cemetery at that place yesterday.

GROWING
IN GARRARD COUNTY
No Longer An Experiment.

The growing of alfalfa in this section
of Kentucky has ceased to be an ex-
pertinent, and farmers who made the
attempt some years ago have met with
success far beyond their fondest ex-
pectations, and have succeeded in es-
tablishing beyond doubt the fact that
this very useful farm product can be
raised successfully in this section of
Kentucky.
The farmers as yet have confined
their efforts to few acres, realizing
that their attempts We're experiments,
but now that success has crowned their
efforts, they will cultivate the splendid
crop upon much larger scale.
The small or experimental fields have
grown more and more numerous as the
farmers realized that their neighbors
were making four cuttings each season
and that each cutting was yielding a
ton of splendid hay to each acre planted.
The pioneer alfalfa grower of this
county is Mr.. Thomas Rankin, who has
met with splendid success and this year
has eight acres. Mr.. j A. Robinson
has followed Mr.. Rankin's example
with Is acres, H. j. Tinsley acres, S.
E. Owsley acres. Lee Rankin 5 acres
Dock Weaver acres, w. C. Pettus
acres, ]. H. Weaver 8 acres, j. E.
Robinson 8 acres, Jas. Roberts acres
A. P. Sloan acres, ]. M. Rankin
acres, ]. l. Hamilton 6 acres, JOIN
Goggin acres and manv others. AL
of these gentlemen are highly pleased
with their efforts, those who have tn,
two year old crop harvesting six tom
of splendid hay to the acre each season
The new crop is appealing strongl.
to the progressive farmer, and there i
little doubt but the next few years vii
see many acres of Garrard county sol
seeded to alfalfa.

COURT DAY
CROWD LARGE BUT NOT
MUCH DOING.

A good crowd attended Court here
Monday and quite little trading was
noticed among the live stock, about
300 mule colts on hand but only few
changed hands. by local buyers at pric-
es ranging from $40 to $40
Mr.. Ross reports about 400 cattle at
his pens, but not all sold. The demand
not being as good as a month ago, how
ever, quite number went to different
parties at prices ranging from St to z
cents. Only few however selling at
the latter figures. No other stock at
the pens. .
Mr.. w. B. Burton and S. T. Harbi-
son of Lexington, bought 26 head of
horses that averaged about SIPS head.
These horses are being purchased for
the English and French army and were
shipped Immediately to Lexington for
inspection. Quite number of horses
remained unsold, the owners not being
willing to take the price. There was
absolutely no demand for aged mules
and very few were offered.

TAKE YOUR COUNTY PAPER.

If tehre is any thing that has the
tendency to rub the hair the wrong
way with an editor more than anything
else, it is to publish a long obituary
notice about some old, prominent citi-
zen, who never had the manhood 10
take his county paper.
We frequently put in such notices at
the request of relatives and friends,
but it goes against the grain to eu-
logize a man to the skies who was too
stingy to support his home paper. A
three line notice is all they deserve.
Did you ever pause just a moment
and think that your editor, whoever he
may be, will write your obituary some
day?

THE WORST EVER.

long list of delinquent subscribers said;

fellow slipped through here the other

BULLETIN TELLS OF LIFE OF
INDIANS IN THE TRENCHES

London, Nov. %, 1907 A M-The life
of the Indian troops in the trenches
is described in a bulletin from the
front which was issued by the official
press bureau tonight:
Nothing sensational has happened
in the Indian lines, says the bulletin.
There has been good deal of hand
to hand fighting, but no Ghurka regi-
ment has penetrated behind the Ger.
man lines"
The report says that the Germans
have not attacked the Indian trenches
as desperately as they have the other
parts of the line and have been re-
pulsed without difficulty. When the
Germans have captured an Indian
trench it has invariably been recap
tured, usually at night with the bay
onet.
Despite the cold weather, the health
of the Indians is better than that of
the white soldiers who accompanied
them from India.
The officers of the Indians are extraor-
dinarily well informed regarding the
war. In describing German attempts to
seduce the Indians the reports say that
the operator of Taube aeroplane threw
down over the trenches many leaflets
bearing the announcement by a German
professor that Shelf Uls-Islam had pro-
claimed a holy war. All the leaflets fell
into the hands of white soldiers.
An Indian was creeping towards Ger
man trench on a scouting expedition one
night when searchlight was thrown
upon him.
'sHe was quick witted enough to realize
that no ordinary resource would save his
life" says the report. HE Immediately
rose to his feet and advanced to the Ger
man trench. Its occupants seased to fire.
The Indian by signs indicated that he
wanted to kill the British and spent
luxurious night in the German lines. In
the morning, on making signs that he
could bring other Indians. he was allowed
to return to his own side. He was pro-

the resumption, it is specifically de-
clared that all dealings are to be I'M
der the supervision of the special COM
mittee of five, which has exercised alb
solute authority over the affairs of
the exchange since July 80 last, the
day of the suspension. 1t is further
more prescribed that all transactions
are to be for cash, thus precluding
very virtually every element of specu-
lation or marginal trading. Also there
can be no trading below the minimum
prices authorized by the committee
from time to time. Any infraction of
these regulations will, it is under
stood, bring immediate punishment
upon the offenders.
While the trading will partake of an
open character in that it will be done
ION the floor quotations will not be
transmitted to the ticker services, but
prices will be issued at stated times
during the day. This will be a sur
prise to many members, who expected
a broader and freer market.
There were rumors that a Money
pool amounting to many millions of
dollars might be organized to take
care Of such firms and individuals as
the proposed re-opening. No such
movement is known so far as could
be learned today. but it is an accepted
fact that any member of the Exchange
requiring financial assistance will re-
ceive all reasonable accommodation
from the banks to carry out his COM
mitments. In point of fact, Wall
Street regards the action of the ex-
change as a sentimental rather than
an actual factor toward the restoration
Of normal conditions. There is natur
ally much conjecture as to the extent
of any liquidating movement, but
bankers who have all along favored
the re-opeEing of the bond market be-
lieve that all offerings will be really
absorbed. So far as is possible, every
effort will be made to minimize foreign
selling, though it is not clear how
this can be done.
