Lexington.

Lexington, Ky.-'Tramp, tramp, the
boys are marching" and 1000 soldiers,
the men of the three Kentucky regi-
ments, are in Lexington in annual en-
campment at the Blue Grass Park at
Fort Springs, sig miles from the city
on the Versailles road where they will
remain until July 10. The camp has
been erected on the north side of the
Blue Grass Park. More than half
mile of tents have been placed to ac-
commodate the great number of SOL
diers who are here. The work of max
ing the camp was done by an advance
detail of about rs men, who worked in
connection with Co. C, 29th Infantry,
U. S. A, under command of Capt. Chas.
H. Payne. The work was quickly done
and the long lines of tents reminded
one of the Spanish-American war days
in Lexington, when tents covered the
Blue Grass hills and plains and more
than 100000 soldiers thronged the
streets of the city. Among the early
arrivals were Major M. A. w. Shock
ley, of Fort Niagara, N. Y, and Capt
F. w. Rrabson, inspector-instructo OF
the National Guard of Tennessee, both
OF whom were detailed to come here by
Federal Army Officials. Major Shock

GOOD FERTILIZER FOR LAND
Interest Manifested in Experiments

Experimental Stations.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Lexington, Ky.-A great deal of in
terest has lately been reused by the
United States Government in it's Agri-
culture Department Experiment Sta
tions in the different states on the
crushing of lime stone as a fertilizer
for our land. If it turns out to be all
that it is claimed to be, Kentucky
ought to be one of the richest states
in the Union, as limestone in in
exhaustible quantities is lying around
US. The greatest single problem con-
fronting the farmer is the maintenance
of soil fertility. It is the problem
alike of the productive and unproduct-
i've farm. 1t requires that the fertility
of every farm shall be increased to the
maximum of profitable production and
kept there, not for a generation or
two, but for all time. Ground limestone
can be applied to the soil in any
amount without any injury whatever
to the soil constituents, while the
burnt lime, because of its caustic prop
critics, acts as a soil stimulant, de-
stroying more or less of the humus or
vegetable matter of the soil and caus.
ing loss of the nitrogen of the soil

Washington, July 4.-To escape a
record vote on the question of wheth-

Levy declared that the appropria-
ton bills would be passed by July 10,
and added: 1T is useless to keep US
in session here any longer. The mem
bers all want to go home. 1t is in
the best interests of the people of the
United States that congress adjourn
The trust bills are illegal and uncon-
situtional, and the senate should be
given plenty of time to study them
and find the defects in them
Representative Underwood moved
/ to lay the Levy resolution on the ta-

tive Mann, Republican leader, indi-
Gated that he had something to say,
he abandoned it. There was chorus
of "ayes" in favor Of Underwoods s
motion, but Mann demanded record
vote To escape it, Underwood
moved that the house adjourn.

appears impossible for the agents to

absolute conformity to the standard

Rockefeller Was in Peril De-
tectiVes Reaffirm.

New York.-In the ruins of the Lex
ington avenue tenement house, wreck
ed by the premature explosion of a
powerful bomb which killed Arthur
Caron and five other persons, the au-
thorities found evidence that Carson's
apartment was a center for the distri-
button of inf1ammatory literature,
which was printed there, and that at
the time of the explosion it was bomb
factory, filed with the ingredients OF
death-dealing missiles.
A small printing press, revolution.
ary pamphlets and circulars, an elec
trio dynamo, two electric batteries
cartridges and bits of steel were
among the articles uncovered.
That demonstration, halted by the
bungling of some one who was prepar
ing an Internal machine for its mis-
sion, was planned against possibly the
entire Rockefeller family in Tarry
town, is the theory upon which the au
thorities are working.
Two of those killed in the wrecked
apartment were prominent agitator'
who were to be placed on trial Tar
rytown on charges of disorderly con
duct in connection with the campaign
of demonstration inaugurated agains
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., as a protes
against his attitude in the Colorado

The body of the fifth victim of tn
explosion was found. 1t was that o

Two other victims were Charles Han
