Keep Present Level.

The Missouri highway representa-
tiyes and the executive committee of

thorough trip Of inspection over the
road yesterday. They are unanimous
in the idea that the highway shall be
built on the present level To change
the grade and lay it alongside of the
railroad track would mean An outlay
of tremendous amount of money.
And strange as it may seem, it was
found that the road is very nearly on
the same level as the railroad tracks,
although nine out of ten persons in
sist that it is lower.
The road, if it is rebuilt, will be
so constructed that the freshets which
have in past seasons proved so dam

MORROW'S MAJORITY
may Reach $4,000
RETURNS INDICATE
For the First Time In Kentucky's His
tory Republicans VIII Have Ma
jOrlty on Joint Ballot In
Assembly.

Louisville, KY, November 6.-Ken-
tucky's reversal of political form, as
exemplified at the polls Tuesday when
Edwin P. Morrow, of Somerset, was
elected to be Governor Of the common
wealth in what proved to be Republi-
can landslide, was confirmed officially
when Governor James d. Black, the
Democratic nominee congratulated
Mr.. Morrow.
The Governor reached Louisville
Wednesday afternoon. A few minutes
after having reached his hotel he dis
patched bearer with his note of con-
gratulations to Mr.. Morrow
The unofficial county returns as re-
vised show that Morrow's majority
probably will exceed $4,000 and that
Morrow carried every congressional
district in the state except the First
Second, Seventh and Eighth.
At Republican headquarters the
statement was given out that unofficial
figures received from all except sc
scattered precincts show that Nor
rows majority will reach 10000.
At Democratic headquarters an ad
mitted majority for Morrow in excess
of 10000 was given on the face of the
returns. Complete official figures will
not be available for several days.
One of the results Tuesdays elec
ton is that for the first time in thu
history of Kentucky the Republican
party will have a majority on join
ballot at the approaching session o
the General Assembly. The unofficia
returns indicate that the complexion
of the Legislature will be:
House, Sc Republicans, A Demo
Gratis; Senate, 18 Republicans, 2
Democrats.
Another development today was tn
announced intention of Jefferso
County Representatives elect to un
dertake the naming of the next Speak
er of the House of Representatives.
Homer C. McLellon is being men
toned generally as the probabl
choice Of Jefferson County Republi
cans as the candidate for Speaker. MI
McLellon served in the General As
sembly of 1918, and succeeded in oh
tanning considerable influence anon

MANY FARMERS AT
Big PURE.BRED HOG
SALE HERE TODAY
Although High Bred Animals Do Not
Sell High, the Sale Accomplished
Its Purpose by Interesting
Farmers In Better Stock.

There was a very large number Of
at the big pure bred hog sale at the
Peoples Warehouse today. The crowd
was much larger than the officers of
the Mason County Swine Breeders AS
sociation had expected and there was
much more interest shown in the sale
of the stock than they had thought
would be shown.
All of the animals entered In the
sale were on hand in plenty of time
and were in fine condition for the sale.
Mr.. R. D. Kirkpatrick, of Cherry Fork,
Ohio, was the auctioneer and the sale
was handled well by him.
Prices for the high bred animals
were nothing like what they should
have been but the members of the as
sociation had entered their animals
for sale and they went at the prices
at which they were bid in by the buy
ers. Although some of the members
furnishing animals lost money on
their sales, the sale was successful In
that it accomplished its purpose in in
teresting the people of Mason county
in better animals and it Is certain that
the next sale will be even a much
greater success. All of the officers
and members of the association said
that thew were nleased with the ont
come of the sale.

FOUND ON AFLOATER

Partly DecompOsed Body Had EVIL

Towns Notified.

Great chunks of lime fell from what
remained of the body OF man taKeh
from the Ohio river at Levanna, ohlo'
Dpposite Dover, yesterday. ABOUT
noon F. l.. Bauer, son Of Fred Bauer
who conducts the Ohio Summer Resort
there. and C. B. Hanselman were
along the river bank. About one hun
dred feet out in the water they saw
an object which convinced them that
it was the body of man. They pro-
cured a skiff and went to 1t, and towed
II to the river bank Notification was
sent Coroner Dowdney OF Brown coun-
ty. Ohio, and he accompanied by Dr.
R, B. Shelton went to the scene.
The body was in an advanced stage
of decomposition, indicating that IL
had been in the water for long time
There was nothing remaining OF the
head except a small tuft of hair. On
the back of the head, or skull, very
plainly could be seen indication tha'
the man had been struck blow there
which probably resulted in his death
The arms had fallen off at the elbows
but it was about the remainder OF the
body that still clung pieces of lime
These pieces indicated that the body
had once been placed in a sack con-
tanning lime.
How long before was not to be as
certained, but with the skull crushed
and the lime still clinging, there was
belief by those who viewed the BODY
that the man had been murdered, thu
body placed in sack of lime and th'
whole thrown into the river. Whil'
the coat remained, there was nothing
else in wearing apparel except TIT
shoes. The man was in life, large II
size, but there were no features re
naming by which to identify him.
After this examination, Corone
Dowdney called Mefford and Kirkpat
rick at Ripley, and ordered the bod
buried. He will send word of the find
ing to several up-river points.
