mad so often read, but instead saw
nothing but sand pile and hundreds
OF sand bags-they were literally
digging Napoleon out of the sand. I
was told the casket had been hidden
from the public view since the first
year of the war and that only after
the armistice did France think it was
safe to uncover it-air raids, of
course, made the republic seek to
protect the tomb" =
Mr.. Smith said that even in Janu-

AGAINST THE PRO.
T POSED BRICK PAVEMENTS

A number of petitions have been
IN circulation in this city the past
week by residents Of Pleasant and
High streets, protesting against the
proposed new vitrified brick streets,
which have been under consideration
by the city for some time, with a
view to their installation here.
Those who are making the protest
allege that the present cost Of labor
and material are 80 high that to
build these streets at this time would
greatly embarrass them financially.
One resident of South Main street
stated that If the streets were built
at this time they would be compelled
to- sell their home in order to pay
their share of the assessment for the
purpose. The petitions have been
numerously signed, but the matter
has not yet reached an acute stage.
"All in perfect good humor," as one
of the circulators of the petitions re-
marked.

JEWISH RELIEF FUND CAMPAIGN
PROGRESSING.

Owing to the bad weather and
other conditions the committees hay-
ing in charge the campaign for rails
ing Bourbon county's quota of $4,000
in the Jewish relief fund, did not get
much chance to get in active work
yesterday. But up to last night
they had a very good showing. the
total receipts from all sources &C
knowledged leaving about $500 yet
to be raised. With two more days
the campaign is expected to bring in
this amount, putting the county over
the top in the matter of it's quota.
AS the committees may not get to
see everyone they ask that anyone
who has been overlooked may leave
their donation with either Mr.. S. E.
Bedford at the Deposit-Peoples'
Bank. William Shire, at Shire &
Fithian's store, or Isaac L. Price,
chairman Of the organization, at the
I. L. Price & Co. store. Every cent
will be acknowledged in the proper
way and full credit given for every
contribution. - -- ===---z..--
Non-Jewish citizens are making
their influence felt in the campaign,
and are helping in every way to make
the work a success. Mr. A. B. Han
cock is chairman of the committee
and is being ably assisted by Henry
IS. Caywood, D. E. Clark, N. F. Brent,
Sam Clay, John T. Collins, John
Brennan, JOS. w. Davis and Catesby
Woodford.
On this, the last day before the
ending of the campaign, the Commit
tee makes the following appeal to
the generosity of the people, asking
the press to give it publicity in the
hope that 1T will stir the people up
to proper realization of the suffer-
ing that is overtaking the Jewish
people in Europe:
lone more day remains for the &C
tive campaign in Kentucky to raise
$208,000, for the relief of millions of
starving Jewish men, women and
children. There is every indication
that Kentucky will live up to her
reputation for liberality and contri-
buttons to worthy causes and will
raise the quota This sum Is to be
a part of s35,000,000 fund to be
raised in the United States and is the
only campaign for this fund that will
be put on this year.
Seventeen cents day, IS a
month, $50 year, will save hu-
man life among the millions now on
the verge Of starvation in the war
torn sections of Eastern Europe.
Every cent of money subscribed
in this country goes direct to the peo-
pie, the expenses being paid by Jew
ish philanthropists in addition to
heavy subscriptions. The money is
cabled through the State Depart
ment at Washington and careful
accounting is made. The books are
audited at regular intervals and re-
ports are given to all who wish to
have them. These show exactly how
the money is being spent"

BRITISH OIL WELLS
YIELD KEROSENE
Freak Of Nature Disclosed
BY Oil Operations in
Britain.

LONDON, July 4.-(Correspondenee
Of The Associated Press. Mot only
coal oil but refined kerosene which
may be burned in lamps is flowing
from the mysterious oil wells at Ram
sey near Peterborough.
The oil was first discovered nearly
two years ago rising to the top of wa
ter wells In that town. After a thou
sand gallons or so had been collect.
ed the flow diminished but two or three
gallons were gathered from the top
Of the water each day until lately.
on July 1 two OF the wells showea
largely Increased yield which has
continued. AS the oil was renned IL
was thought at first that 1t had Leak
Cd from some tankage station, but this
has been dispToYed by biologists, and
the theory Is accepted that by some
freak OF nature the oil is purified in the
strata and then forced to the surface
through the only openings available.
The vicinity OF the find has not
been drilled by the prospectors who
are now testing what are believed to
be Important oil fields in other parts
Of the Kingdom.
