Paris Man Seriously Hurt in
Accident

F. M. BUCK Branch, of Paris,
an employee of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad in the capaci-
ty of freight brakeman, is in a
serious condition at the hospital
at Richmond, suffering from in
juries sustained last Tuesday.
AS a result he may lose one of
his legs. The accident occurred
at Berea, and while he was walk
ing along two cars loaded with
steel rails. The cut of cars was
being set in on a siding and
Branch was in the act of step,
ping from one to- the other when
they struck another Car on the
siding with such force as to cause
the rails on the first Car to. slide
against those of the second.
Branch was pinioned between
the heavy rails, which had to be
removed before he could be taken
from his dangerous position.
Both legs were badly crushed
and it is feared one of them will
require amputation. He was
taken Immediately to the Rich
mond hospital for treatment

OILyTHE STREETS

The soft limestone which the
city is using on the streets, by
the action of the sun, water and
travel is converted very rapidly
into dust. Sprinkling the streets
accomplishes very little and costs
more in the long run than oil.
1t is peculiar indeed that a city
will spend thousands of dollars
annually from the general tax
fund with which to macadamize
the streets, solely for the pur-
pose of keeping horses and wa
CONS out of the mud, and then
absolutely refuse to- appropriate
one copper for the purpose of
keeping the dust out of the citi-
zens. Nothing is more detriment-
al to the eye, ear, nose and throat
than this limestone dust. 1t is
almost unbearable.
The right thing for the city
council to do is to use their street
sweeper and get rid of as much
dust as they can in that way, then
oil the streets at the general ex-
pense. The people who have
been footing the bills for oil are
unwilling to do so longer unless
everyone contributes. A good
plan would be to divide the streets
into three equal parts, charging
one-third part to the city and one
third each to the property owners
abutting the street. But the best
plan of all is to oil all of the
streets of the city and make ii
payable out of the general fund
Then no one can complain of I'm
fair or unjust treatment.

try. And he found allied against
him the moral support of the
President of this country.
Now the full fury of the army
seems to have been directed
against him merely because the
President of the United States,
through some fancied ethical
question, believed Huerta to be
unfit to be the President of Mex
leo. That was a question for the
Mexicans to determine for them
selves.
By far the larger part of the
population of Mexico embracing
the wealth and intelligence of
the country, are valiantly support
ing: him. That they will continue
to do so is evident. That the
forces of Carranza and Villa will
eventually follow under his flag
is as certain as that the night
follows the day.
And now comes the startling
information that the President
has accepted the good offices of
of three weak Latin-American
governments to mediate between
this great Government and Mex
leo. This mediation means moth
ing but delay, because they will
never agree on anything. Or if
they did reach an agreement
among themselves they would
not stand to it twenty-four hours.
In the meantime Huerta is solid
flying the Mexican forces, equip
ping his armies, strengthening
his defenses, and will be better
prepared at the end of this non
sensical delay to fight the United
States than he is at present.
Events transpire so rapidly
that we cannot conjecture what
will be the next turn of affairs
and we repeat, as we said in the
outset that we cannot under
stand or fathom the President.

ssThe MarShaISe >.

in an engagement with the In
dams, and in the conflict with the
Wyandot warrior on this occa-
sion that arm gave way, and in
an instant his saving foe buried
his knife in Captains EstilPS
breast, but instantly the brave
Proctor sent a ball from his rifle
to the Wyandots heart. Thus
ended this memorable battle. 1t
lacks nothing but the circum-
stance of number to make it the
most memorable in ancient or
modern times. The loss of the
Indians, in killed and wounded,
notwithstanding the disparity of
numbers after the shameful re-
treat of Miller, was even greater
than that of Capt. Estill. There
is a tradition derived from the
Wyandot town after a peace, that
but one of the warriors engaged
in this battle ever returned to his
nation. 1t is certain that the
chief who led on the Wyandots
with SO much desperation fell in
the action. Throughout this
bloody engagement, the GOODNESS
and bravery of Proctor were I'M
surpassed. But his conduct after
the battle was always, with those
acquainted with it, elected the
warmeSt commentator. He
brought off the field of battle and
most of the way to the station a
distance of forty miles, on his
back, his badly wounded friend
the late Col. William Irvine, so
long and SO favorably known in
Madison County"

WESTERN CANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL
AND FARM LANDS.

The developments that have taken
place recently in the oil and gas fields
Of Western Canada have but added
another to the many previous evil
dences that have been produced,
showing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for 80 many
generations.
The latest reports from the oil
fields at Calgary show that there is
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. 1t is said that
one Of the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. II this is so
there are but about dozen wells in
the world of greater production. Dur
ing the past week discoveries of sur
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over q consider
able portion of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, while In Manitoba there have al.
SO been showings. At Battleford,
Saskatchewan, few days ago discov.
cries were made which led to the fl
ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres of land, all having strong sur
face indications. Companies were
formed to carry on immediate work.
and In couple of months, or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists in paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make Of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions Of the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches 1t is no wonder that q
continued range Of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports Of
seeding of all grains being successful
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports of excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week In June most Of the
wheat had reached a growth of from
twelve to twenty inches, with the most
even appearance, almost universally,
that has been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally well, and covered the
ground In a way that brought the
broadcast kind Of grin to overspread
the farmers countenance.
Barley, favorite with the hog rails
ers, had taken good root, and was
crowding oats for a first place, as to
length Of shoot. Cultivated fodder
grasses are getting great attention,
as consequence of the inclination to
go more largely into mixed farming,
and the raising of hogs, cattle and
horses. The weather is reported fine,
just what is needed, and II present
favorable conditions continue, the
grain crop Of Western Canada for 1914
will be the largest average in the his.
