PANAMA CANAL OPENED.

On the 18th of August there was a
little ceremony at Panama that would
have been in the limelight of the world,
exsept that the German Emperor pre-
smpted that particu ar spot for Ger
many. On that date the Panama Canal
was opened for public traffic. thus
throwing open for commercial purposes
the greatest engineering feat of GEN.
was rendered possible by utilizing the
brain force of the U. S. army for the
welfare instead of for the slaughter of
mankind. 1t was proud day for Col
onel Goethals when he saw the vessels
pass successfully from ocean to ocean.
By this achievement the dates of COM
merce are shortened and the world is
made neighbors. The construction of
this canal was begun by the United
States on Nav 4th, 1904, after other
countries had failed in the execution of
the various plans that have been con-
sidered for four hundred years. Itwas
not easy to find man to head an un-
dertaking so vast and requiring in the
supreme degree of ability to manage
men, in addition to the highest tech
nical skill and engineering resourceful-
ness. After two or three managers o.
great transportation companies had
tried the work and gave it up, the
government put Colonel Goethals al
the head of the enterprise Under his
leadership the work has been brought
to a successful completion.
The distance from New York to Sar
Francisco by water, around Cape Horn
is Ii, 400 miles. by way of the Panama
Canal, $500. The distance to Hawai-
is shortened $500 miles, and it i:
shortened the same distance to Manila
The distance to the Pacific ports Of
South America is reduced about 5,00(
miles. The distance to Asiatic ports il
reduced about 1900 miles.

NEGRO BURGLAR
KILLED AT STANFORD

While escaping from the store of
Severance and Son at Stanford, after
having robbed it and with the stolen
goods still in possession, Hugh Brown,
negro, was shot and almost instantly
killed by Mr.. A. T. Bromley. the we'll
known insurance man of that city last
Tuesday morning. Upon the negro's
failure to halt, Mr.. Bromley fired the
shot striking him in the leg, death re-
sulting by bleeding in few moments.
For more than year Stanford has
been troubled by series of robberies
and it is believed that this negro, Brown,
has been at the bottom of most of them.
A coroner's inquest was Immediately
held and verdict in accordance with
the above facts were returned, exon
Grating Mr.. Bromley however. and
commenting him for his timely appear
ance on the scene and killing the negroq
a death he richly deserved.

Lancaster, Ky, September 3, 1914.

How the war will effect prices is q
qnestion of interest both to the produc-
er and consumer. Generally speaking
articles which we produce will be low
and articles which we have been i'm
porting will be high. Corn is more
likely to be lower than wheat because
We raise a relatively larger part of the
worlds supply. Meat will be high,
more on account of the scarcity of cat
tie than on account of the war.
There has been an advance of two
dollars ton on news paper, which
means an advance of twenty five per
cent at the mills. Other material such
as letter heads, bill heads and envelopes
have advanced about twenty five per
cent, the reason being gwen that GER
tain chemicals used in producing news
paper print are made in Germany. All
prices on ink have been withdrawn by
the manufacturers. 1t will probably
be decided by the majority of the news
paper publishers to reduce the size of
their papers and probably to increase
the price Of job work and advertising.
That the war is causing an increase
in the price of certain metal and effect
ing the production of others is shown
by the price of tin being raised to sixty
i've cents pound.
Practically all of the metal used in
the United States is imported and so
long as the war exists and sea traffic is
disturbed, protection will be curtailed
ana prices raised.
The effect of the war upon the price
OF tobacco cannot be told at this time.
Keen spectators will try to reap a rich
reward by watching the growth of the
kentucky weed and also war conditions.
Good may come to us out of all of
these conditions as it is said; Necessity
Is the mother of invention" and we
Eay1ind that We are able to produce
or do without many things We have
been importing.

ance, have been sorely pressed
for revenue. Observation-Disclosures
In particular has faced a severe
crisis, as recent taxes have yielded
little and numerous riots have

II appears that an unkind fate has
overtaken every effort OF the king
OF Eltwich-H aldmandt to raise
funds. The marriage which lie
planned between his daughter,
the Princess Zavia, the Prince
Sacholdt was thwarted by the
princes refusal to enter a politi-
cal alliance. In desperation the
princess volunteered to secretly
dispose of the crown jewels. rep
resenting approximately one mil
lion dollars.
How the prince RECEIVERS the
gems and changes his mind re-

the Crown Jewels" In this pro-
duction Miss Alice Joyce, as Prin-
cess Zavia, actually wears jew

gems having been loaned by a
prominent New York jeweler. The
$4,000 gown which Miss Joyce
wears was made by the celebrated
