THE FEAR OF LIGHTNING
FATALITY RATHER RARE

During a severe thunderstorm al
Newton. n. j., a woman who
Through all her life of so years had
felt a nervous dread of lightning
became unconscious from fright and
died.
Cannot the multitudes of other
wise rational people who are obsess-
ed by the same dread take counsel
of the fate of this unfortunate and
allay their fears? They suffer an
access of terror in every thunder
storm and in effect undergo the
agony of death many times. Yet
there are few other forms of death
SO painless or so remote. In 1912
in the whole country only 243 per-
sons We're killed by lightning, OF
whom but 32 were females. Women
who mainly feel this fear should be
encouraged by their greater immun-
ity.
But in fact twice as many people
are burned to death in confiagra-
lions in a year as are killed by
thnnderbolts, and the number of
those who die from organic heart
disease compared with those who die
from lightning is as 354 to 1.
No doubt the superstition that has
attached from the earliest times to
deaths by lightning has had some
thing to do with the survival of the
fear. People who view their ines
capable exit from this world with
philosophy should be ready to ac-
cept a lightning stroke as an end
as easy as any other. II is too in
stantaneous to admit OF physical SEN
sation; while the fear-ridden are as
sured that II the fash is seen the
sufferer is safe.-lNew York World.

HIGHEST PRICE EVER E
PAID FOR FAT CATTLE
The Owenbboro Inquirer says:

The Owenbboro Inquirer says:
A sale of cattle at a price that has
never been equaled before in Da-
viess county has been made to the
Philadelphia Consolidated Dressed
Beef company, in which the Daviess
County Distilling company disposes
of 500 fattened bovines at a rate of
cents per pound. 1t is estimated
by William Medley, of the local con-
Germ, that the average weight of the
animals, when they are weighed out
early in the morning, will be about
100 pounds; total weight of
about 500, 900, making the total sum
to be realized about $4,000.
When b. s. Mat.ingly, of Louis
vile, told a reporter that he was
here in connection with the sale of
some cattle, inquiry developed that
this record sale had been made. Mr..
Mattingly is well known stock man
of the Bourbon Stock yards, of
Louisville. He will attend the
weighing out of $50 head that will
be shipped from greensboro at about
o'clock Friday morning, the bal
ance going on Tuesday of next week.
The L., II. & st. L. railroad has been
asked for about Is cattle cars to
take care of the mornings shipment.
The cattle have been fattened on
a mixture of feeds that has put them
in a condition that is desired by
stockmen. They will weigh out we'll,
particularly so at an early hour in
the morning when their journey
will begin

Is Now Available For the
States and Counties.
BILL BECAME A LAW JULY Il
Five Million Dollars Made Avail.
bic During the Current
Fiscal Year.
A SYSTEM OF HALF AND HALF

The urgent need for thorough co
operation of all good road organiza
, tons in Kentucky was never NOR,
apparent than now. The $4,000,
600 federal aid road bill, which ha.
been signed by President Wilson
provides that the funds shall be dis
tributed among the States that are
willing to appropriate dollar for dol
lar. If Kentucky counties or dis
tricts vote million dollars worth
OF bonds for road construction, fed
eral aid will be extended to the
amount of a million. This means
that a good road system will cost
the property owners, who evince a
progressive interest and take prompt
action, exactly one-half of the ex-
penditure made.
The good roads bill became a law
on July II, and made available for
the construction of rural roads a to-
tai appropriation of $S5,OOO,OOO. OF
this sum SIS, 100000 is to be en-
pended in the construction of rural
post roads under cooperative ar
engagements with the highway de-
partments of the various States. and
$4,000, 900 is to be expended for
roads and trails within or partly
within the national forests.
The act limits the federal Gov
ernment's share in road work in CO.
operation with the States to fifty
per cent. of the estimated cost of
Federal aid may be
extended to the construction of any
rural post road, excluding all streets
or roads in towns having a popua-
ton Of $500 or more, except the
portion of such streets or roads on
which the houses are on an average
more than 200 feet apart.
Under the law 100000 is made
available for expenditures during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1917,
and thereafter the appropriation is
increased at the rate of 100000
a year until 1921, when the sum
provided is $25, 100000, making a
total of s75.OOO,OOO. In addition
an appropriation of S1,000,OO0 a
year for a period of ten years, a to-
tai of s1O,00O,OOO, is made available
for the development of roads and
trails wholly or partly within the
national forests.
The class of roads to be built and
the methods of construction are to
be mutually agreed upon between
the Secretary of Agriculture and the
State Highway departments.
The various States securing aid
under the act are charged with the
making of needed repairs and the

A SPY'S FATE IN 1877
Is PRACTICALLY SHOWN

A curious and unfamiliar page of
American history shows that the
treatment of the spy was as prompt
and righteous then as it is to-day
among the powers of the great war.
Every American schoolboy knows
the fate of Major Andre, but few
know of any others. with perhaps
the exception of Nathan Hale, exc
cuted by the British as a spy. In
the second year of our Revolution
airy War General Israel Putnam
caught man. lurking about his post
at Peekskill, on the Hudson. A flag
of truce came from Sir Henry Gin
ton, claiming the prisoner as Lieu
tenant Palmer, of the British SER
vice. The answer of the stout old
General was brief and to the point:
Headquarters, 9TH August, 1871.
Edmund Palmer. an officer in the
enemy's service, was taken as spy
lurking within our lines. He has
been tried as spy, condemned as
spy, and shall be executed as a
spy; and the flag is ordered to de-
part Immediately.

Weston's Long Walk.

Edward Payson Weston's famous
cross-continent walk was made In
the early part of 1910. In 1903
Weston started to walk from New
York to San Francisco in 100 days,
but was delayed by billiards., and II
took him l05 days to make the trip.
Determined to beat this record. he
set out from Santa Monica. a sea-
coast town near Los Angeles. on
February |, 1910. He reached New
York May 2, 1910. having covered
the distance OF 3,6i1 miles in n
days.

OF course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles
have been exercised to the limit an
application of Sloan's Liniment will
take the soreness and stiffness away

morrow. You should also use it for
a sudden attack of toothache, stiff

surface, considering the type OF
road, but are not obliged to make
extraordinary repairs or undertake
reconstruction. If after due notice,
a State fails to maintain a federal
aided road properly, the secretary
is empowered to refuse further aid
until the road is properly repaired
at the States expense.
Under the Kentucky system of
road maintenance, there is such a
steady demand for road construc-
tion and reconstruction as to render
It probable that the State can not
economically take up the burden Of
maintenance of roads without ma
terially handicapping the construc-
ton of roads in the county most in
need of them.
The State aid law, passed by the
General Assembly in 1914, providing
for a five-cent tax on each S100
worth Of property within the State
listed for taxation, and winch act
became operative in 1915, has been
a material benefit in this respect.
This fund, in conjunction with the
funds available under the federal
aid for road building law should
have the effect of enabling the State,
working with the Secretary of Agri-
culture, to construct many miles of
rural roads within its territory,
thus raising it from one of the low
est graded States in this respect to
one of the highest.

PORTLAND, ore, July 27.-Re-
ceipts from national forests for the
fiscal year 1916 reached the high wa
ter mark Of approximately $2,82O,-
600, according to figures just com
pied. This is $4,000 above the
1915 total which in turn exceeded
any previous year. Officials say that
the gain was due to increased de-
mand for all classes of forest pro-
ducts
There was decided growth in the
revenue from all sources, the largest
being that of $2O3,0uO in timber sales.
Grazing fees showed gain of $77-
90 Receipts for water power devel-
Opment were over $4,000 more than
1915. Sales Of turpentine privileges
and charges for special uses were
both considerably in excess of the
previous year,
Officials say that the national for
e is are important factors in the pros
perity of the regions in which they
are located. on account Of the large
amounts of timber, range and other
resources which they hold available
for use as needed. Business condi-
tions are reflected in the receipts of
the forests. Consequently the showing
for the past year is regarded as an
index Of increased business activity

statement issued by the United states

of Infection between persons harbor-

Infantile paralysis is not a disease

Another record for quick convictions in the whiskey selling cases now being heard before the Superior Court was ao omplished today. when two more convictions were secured in short per iods. the jury being out only a few minutes in each case.
