What Flies Cost.

The statement has been made
that the annual cost to the United
States, and the people thereof, of
the housefy and his relations is
$3.50, 900, 900. This may or may
not be true, for statistics are high
on the membership list of the Anan-
las Club. But flies are very expen-
sive. They may mean fever of a
serious nature. They may mean
infantile paralysis. They may mean
good many other kinds of disease.
Flies in the kitchen are just about
as bad as though the garbage pail
were kept In the kitchen. The flies
find the garbage pail aud then they
seek other food. They are busy
all the day and the people of the
nation pay the cost of their activity
in sickness and death. Now is the
time to get after the fly. The breed
ing places must be found, Their
means of livelihood must be cut off.
for they cost very great deal, and
the time to prevent them is now -

Notice 10 Wheat Growers.

As we predicted two week ago
that the wheat growers would lose
only crop they had, which is wheat,
it has now come true. The County
Union in session last Thursday re-
cognized this fact and directed me
to call on the people to pool this
wheat as quickly as possible. We
hope every man will who has wheat
for sale see that every bushel of
wheat is pooled at once. We say
the Board of Control will do the best
for them possible. This wheat
should have been pooled thirty
days ago. We have pooled about,
one hundred and forty lambs.
Anyone who has not pooled his
lambs and desires to do so please
send me name and number of lambs.
Parties desiring to buy, our lambs
are for sale. These bids would be
received sealed, seventy pounds and
up as No. 90 pounds and up to
10 as No. =; 50 pounds and up to
90 as No. ). Delivery at any time
to suit the buyers between the a5th
of July and 10th of August.

When Whisky Went.

Under the heading of uTake Back
All You Said," the Central City
Argus of Tuesday had a very re.
freshing article as to improved con-
diuons there since saloons have
been closed. On the presentation
of facts, it is sure that anyone who
has said anything against our me-
tropolis will gladly recant, and in
addition thereto will enthusiastically
pat the officers and people on the
back, and congratulate them. For
conditions there have been very
detrimental to the progress of the
community. twas the visitor with
in the gates who most frequently
brought about distressing situations,
for Central City has for some time
been the only "wet spotr in a wide
area, anG persons inclined to carouse
have been drawn from far and near.
The editor thus tells of new con-
ditions:
"To those who, in the love of ex-
element, commune with news items
of lurid hue we want to submit a
startling statement. Central City
passed through great Fourth of
July celebration without a killing,
without cutting, without fs,icuf,
without an argument insofar as we
are informed. The police, who had
been in the habit Of dragging 'em
along iu all stages and forms of in
toxication and disability, spent a
distressingly lonesome day pitching
horscshoes at the Old Soldiers Re-
union. At last in desperation
young man was arrested for telling
a lie. 1t is not known just what
statute his ofense comes under, but
suffice it to say that this is going
some for place with the past repu.
tation of Central City. In some
sections of Kentucky Muhlenberg
county is looked upon as a whirligig
of crime with Central City as the
pivot. But when a fellow can't tell
a lie, even TO his girl at a picnic,
the reform wave here is certainly
sweeping some"

Care For Your Own Dust and Dirt.

There is no city ordinance that
specifically forbids storekeepers
from landing their sweepings on the
streets, and many persons do so.
Some of them collect and burn the
refuse, which is soon scattered all
around. Now that the streets are
oiled, this will be a dangerour oper-
alton, as fires may be started. If
all stores were swept from the front
to the rear end, and sweepings col
lected and burned on back lots, it
would be so much better, and to
see that such action is taken, the
councilmen should prepare an or
dinance covering tee matter, and
pass it. The day of using the streets
and pavements for private purposes
has passed almost entirely, and we
should suow our progressiveness by
joining the procession.

Gold Check" Law Effective Now.

The ucold checkr law, which was
passed at the last session of the
legislature, is now in full force.
This is one of the most important
measures passed during the session
of the Legislature and was enacted
for the protection of the merchants
business men and others, who have
been defrauded by persons giving
checks on banks without having
money on deposit.
The law is very plain, and there
can be no excuse offered for any
person who attempts to violate same.
When a persoI gigcs a check on any
banking house, he must have on de-
posit, at that time, enough money
to cover the amount called for by
check or ne is subject to Prosecu-

Bicycle Riding On Payements will
Cost Money.

The chief of police was instructed
by the councllmen at the Monday
night meeting to pay particular at
tention TO the violation of the or
dinance which forbids the use of the
pavements of the city to bicycles.
Ii has been a custom to allow the
pavements to be used by wheelmen
in the outlying sections, but there
have been one or two recent ac-
cidents in which pedestrians have
been injured, and the law will be
rigidly enforced hereafter, and all
offenders will be fined. Skaters will
also be fined, and there is a deter
mination to confine the pavements
for the use of pedestrians.

Street.

The councllmen Monday night
instructed the chief of police to in
struct all merchants to abandon the
practice Of sweeping dirt and paper
into the streets. This is a violation
of a city ordinance, but is being
generally abused. The practice of
burning waste paper, cratings, and
the like, will also be stopped, as It
is a violation of ordinance, and will
be enforced rigidly, Iow that the
streets haye been oiied, as the
practice would DESTROY the effect of

Beech Greek Has Night Scene.

Beech Creek was the location of
the latest visit of the persons who
have been operating by night in var
ious parts of the county. Last
Monday night crowd of men es-
timated at from $50 to 200 went to
the home of Mr.. w. II. Chumbley
mine foreman of the Beech Creek
Coal Co., and asked him to come
out. Chumbley came to the door
and told the men that he would not
come out, but would defend his
home with arms, if necessary. The
men withdrew, and soon began to
pour a rain of bullets into his home.
1t is estimated that there were from
500 to I, 900 shots fired, most of
them into the air and ground, but
more than half hundred bullet
holes were counted in the building
next day. No one was struck,
which is miraculous. Mr.. Chnmb-
ley reports that some time ago a
notice was tackled on his gate, in
which he was warned to leave the
country, and it Is said that he also
received some letters of the same
character. No reason was given as
to why he should leave, and he de-
clares that he can imagine no cause
of complaint anyone should have
against him. Officers of the county
went to the scene of trouble Tues
day, and made thorough investiga-
