4 Chicago, June 19-With 15,000
ffaectators groaning and hissing and
702 delegates cheering themselves
hoarse, the Republican National
Convention yesterday nominated
William H. Taft for President of the
United States. The convention met
,at 10 o'clock and Taft was nominat-

it was a Roosevelt demOnStra-

Taft was virtually permitted to
select his running mate and this
morning at 11:15 o'clock James S.
Sherman.an unknown Congressman
from' New York, was nominated on
the first ballot.
Chicago, June 19.—The hands
guiding the steam roller applied the
brakes for forty- five minutes Wed-nesday, while the delegates to the
National Republican Convention en-
gaged in a spectacular demonstra-
tion, cleverly led up to by Senator
Lodge, who concluded the first half
of his speech as permanent chairman,
a speech, which by the way, deserves
to take its place as one of the strong-
est of the Republican campaign doc-
uments, with the declaration that
"the President is the best abused
and the most popular man in the
United States to-day."
Then he considerately retired to
the rear platform while the South-
ern delegations, somewhat fearful of
the result of the vote on the Burkeresolution, which they knew would
come up later in the day, led all the
rest in their vocal and gymnastic ex-
hibition of devotion to Theodore
Roosevelt and his policies.
From a purely spectacular stand-
point, the demonstration was one
that will not be soon forgot by any
one who witnessed it. Above the
heads of the members of every dele-
gation, United States flags were
waved by seemingly frenzied enthu-
siasts. From the floor of the great
Coliseum, with its temporary popu-
lation of 12,000 men and women,
there came a steady roar of cheers
taken up and given back with right
good will by the balconies and the
stage in which handsomely gowned
women vied with the men in their
unchecked display of enthusiasm.
For forty-five minutes the cheer-
ing continued. At times almost dy-
ing away and again swelling to full
volume through the successfully con-
trived introduction of a Teddy Bear,
which made its way from press box
to platform, and from platform to
one state delegation after another,
held always high in air, and by the
unexpected and genuinely spontane-
ous contributions to the big showmade by individuals, whose imagi-
nation was quickened and zeal un-
loosed by the contagious spirit of
the game.The result produced was all that
the friends of Mr. Taft could ask.
The demonstration for Mr. Roose-
velt exceeded by fifteen minutes in
point of time, any which has ever
been given to any American in a
convention of either political party.
When that point was reached Mr.
Lodge put an end to the proceedings
without difficulty and the last un-
certainty that William Howard Taft
would be chosen on the first ballot
of the Chicago convention as the Re-
publican nominee for president wasremoved.
Next in order after the Roosevelt
tribute, was the meeting and defeat-
ing of the unexpected move inaug-
urated by the allies on Tuesday whenJames Francis burke, of Pennsylva-
nia, offered a resolution to the effect
that in future national inventions
of the Republican party, each State
shall be entitled to four delegates-at-
large and one additional delegate
for each 1,000 votes or majority
fraction thereof cast for the Repub-
lican candidates at the preceding
national election.
Mr. Taft owes his nomination to
the votes in this convention of ele
Southern States, which as Mr. Burkesaid in support of his resolution, nev-
er have and never will, under exist-
ing conditions, cast an electoral vote
for a Republican nominee.
The debate on resolution was pre-
cipitated by means of a minority re-
port offered on the report of the
Committee on It had back

Players and Noted Opera
Singers.
TABERNACLE JUNE 24TH
This Organization Hold
Unique Position in the
World of Music.
Innes' Orchestral Band organiza-
tion accompanied by several opera
singers of note of New York which
will give two performances at the
Tabernacle on June 24 holds a un-
ique position in the world of music.
The organization is the only one of
its kind, occupying as it does a. field
midway between the Symphony Or-
chestra and the usual so-called Con-
cert Band. Thjs result is brought
about partly by a novel combination
of instruments but in the main it is
owing to the original methods of
Innes himself. Even as a you'ng
lad, playing an instrument in the
band of Her Majesty's First Life
Guards, Innes had in him the unde-
veloped making of a great director.
He was a tireless worker and rest-
less thinker and he soon began to see
that there were great possibilities in
a band. He saw that it could be
made to appeal to all classes, both to
those who love music for the rhythm
and brightness it brings as well as to
the scholarly musican who enjoys
the technical side and perfection of
the performance.
Innes resolved to have such a band
of his own some day and so when
the opportunity came it found him
prepared for the evolutionary
changes which have earned a world-
wide fame for his organization. In-
nes has just been honored by the ap^
pointment of Director-in-Chief of
Music at the Aia^ka-Hukon-Pacific
Exposition to be held at Seattle,
Wash., during the BIX months be-
ginning June 1. 19 9, and as he and
his band are to go direct from there
to Europe, the present engagement
is in the nature of farewell appear-
ances, at any rate for several years.
The Innes' organization ia traveling
in its full strength of sixty two
players and accompanied by a num-
ber of Opera Singers of note, promi-
nent among whom are Virginia Lis-
teraann, soprano; Elaine He Sellem,
Contralto: Signoir Pezzetti, Tenor;
G. Zara, Baritone; Clayton Evaert,

Year.
WAS IT A MURDER?
Circumstances Lead to Be-
lief that Victim Wasn't
Killed by Train.
Nick Green, colored, was arrested
charged with murder. Green was ac-
cused of having killed John Ware,
another negro, near Pembroke, last
Saturday night. The body of Wareas found lying by the side of the
railroad track near the Salubria
crossing, about a mile north of Pem-broke.
Ware left Pembroke only a short
time before he was killed, in com-
pany with several other negroes, it
is said, and it was his companions
who went back to Pembroke and re-
ported having found this body after
the north bound St. Louis express
had passed. The negro's skull was
crushed and there were some bruises
on his body.
Concerning the affair, the Pem-broke Journal says in part:
"The jury, composed of three
white men and three colored, ren-
dered a verdict to the effect thet
Ware was killed in a manner u
known, "apparently by a train.
The coroner prepared a verdict
that he was killed by a train, but
the white members of the jury re-
fused to sign it. There is scarcely
any reason to believe that the manwas killed by the train. When the
body was found it was lying directly
beside the track, with the head to-
ward Pembroke. If he had been
struck by the fast train, the only
train that had passed between the
time he left town and the finding of
the body, he would undoubtedly
have been hurled some distance from
the track and his body would have
been badly mangled."
The grand jury investigated the
case Thursday and failed to indict,
whereupon Green was released.

HOPTOWN PLEASES 'EM.
The Meeting Closed Thurs-
day Night With a Most
Successful Banquet.
Hopkinsville's reception to the ed-
tors of the State press Wednesdaywas one continued round of courte-
sies and festivities and every news-
paper man present was overwhelm-ed with the hospitality shown land
all went away convinced that Hop-kinsville is the best town on earth.
The train came in ten minutes
ahead of time, but there was not
mjch confusion growing out of this
change in the program and the
guests were quickly taken into ve-
hicles provided by the citizens and
were driven to the Mogul WagonWorks, headed by Lebkeutcher's
Band and the Fire Department.
They went via Main, Twentieth and
Twenty-first streets, the prarade ex-
tending for many squares.
At this plant the busy hum of the
machines mingled with the gay con-
versation of the party as they were
shown all over the big building and
watched the processes necessary to
convert a piece of raw timber and
some rough pieces of iron or steel
into a finished wagon. They were
finally shown into the east rcomwhich was handsomely decorated
and where punch, cakes and cigars
were served. Here Col. Jouett
Henry introduced Mayor Charles M.
Meacham, who » warmly welcomed
the newspaper men to the city. Fol-
lowing this President Lew B. Brownintroduced Clarence E. Woods, the
association's orator, who responded
upon behalf of the editors and
wound up by saying that he was nowfirmly convinced that Hopkinsville
was the best town in Kentucky.
Judge W, T. Fowler followed him
with an eloquent talk, in which he
reiterated the welcome extended
and referred to the many advantages
of the town and county. This wasresponded to by Robert W. Brownin n most happy manner.
From here the party went to the
Western Kentucky Asylum for the
Insane, passing through one of the
handsomest sections of the city en-
route. At the asylum Superintend-

Cynthiana. Ky., June 18.-A jury
ef twelve farmers was Becured yes-
terday to try the cases of "Dog-
wood" Kenton, Chas. Fowler, Bill
Brown and "Gum" McGhee, the
latter colored, charged with night
riding and participating in the at-
tack several months ago on Marshall
Haly, who was bringing his tobacco
to this city. Haly was the first wit-
ness for the Commonwealth and he
told of his wagon being stopped on
the way to this city, of one of them
being turned over and said he recog-
nized in the band of riders Kenton,
McGhee and Brown. He did not
know Fowler, he said, and could not
identify him. Haley said he was un-
able to secure any teams to haul his
tobacco to market in Bracken county
and came to this county to get them.
He told of his being whipped by the
riders but said that the whipping
was not severe as he promised to
take his tobacco back to Clayburg
from where he was hauling it and
the men let him go.
On cross-examination by the at-
torneys for the defense Haly said
also that he recognized a number of
other men in the raid and namedever half a dozen. Before Haly's
testimony was concluded, the court
adjourned for lunch.
At the afternoon session Marshall
Haly and J. Kinney Six testified to
recognizing different ones of the de-
fendants on the occasion of the whip-
ping of Denny Washburn at the old
Reinhanner house. Six, in response
to a question of the defense as to
whether he had recognized any per-
sons in the crowd of night riders
other than those mentioned by him,
refused to answer. He was fined
$30 twice by the court for not an-
swering and was threatened with s
jail sentence. The latter was avoid-
ed by the defense withdrawing the
question.

purpose of selecting delegates to tne
Democratic national conventii
Denver, was called to order at the
State capitol at noon to day. There

VIS/7 LOUISVILLE.
Italian Shoots and Kills Three
Fellow-Countrymen
.
Louisville, Ky., June 19 —The ar-
my of the Equity Society will invade
Louisville on the Friday of State Fair
week in September. The society
will come to Louisville anywherefrom 25,000 to 60,000 strong, and be-
fore assembling at the fair grounds11 form a mammoth parade,march-
ing through the streets of Louisville.
The parade promises to be the great-
est and the most memorable in the
history of Louisville. Practically
every grower from the Burley to the
dark belt region will attend, their
members being limited only by the
capacity of the trains bearing them.
The decision to attend the State
air in a mammoth tobacco bodyas reached at Winchester after
speeches had been made to the to-
bacco men by I J. W. Newman, Sec-
retary of the State Fair; Sam P.
Jones, President of the Commercial
Bank and Trust Company, and sev-
eral prominent tobacco leaders.
After considering the question for
some time the tobacco people decid-
ed unanimously to send out notices
convening a mammoth gathering of
their friends in Louisville on Friday
of fair week.
It was also decided to organize anescort of honor for Miss Alice Lloyd
and ask her to participate in the pro-
cession through the streets in recog-
nition of her defence of the Equity
growers a few months ago.
U. S. MARSHAL
New Orleans, June 18.—Followinga series of crimes attributed to so-
called "Black Hand" societies in the
Italian quarter of New Orleans, oneof the worst tragedies yet connect-
ed with that section took place to-
day, when three Italians were shot
to death.
According to the police, these menwere killed as a result of an attemptto extort money from Pietro Giacono,
a wealthy Italian wine merchant of1113 Chartres street. Giacona andhis son told the police that these
men had frequently bought winefrom them by the barrel, and hadinvariably refused to pay for it.
According to their story the three
forced them to ship a barrel of wineto a point in Louisiana yesterday,
and returned early to-day and order-
ed them to prepare a meal. The old-
er Giacona suspected that trouble
would ensue and hid a repeating
file near the table. When one of the
visiting Italians drew a heavy caliber
revolver and ordered them to pro-
duce money and valuables the eider
Giacona answered with a shot fromthe rifle. The man he fired at fell
dead and the other two attemptedto escape.
One was killed before he had got-
ten ten feet from the table. Theother reached a staircase only to re-
ceive a bullet in his brain as he start-
ed down the steps, his body falling
into the courtyard below.
Only one of the Italians killed has
been identified as a man named Bar-
racca, known to the police.

Was Fired Upon By a Gang
of Negroes.
Bill Matheny, a Hopkins county
negro, was arrested near Norton-
ville by Deputy U.S. Marshal Amentand brought before Commissioner
Yonts, who held him over to the fed-
eral grand jury on a charge of sell
ing liquor without a government li-
cense. He was unable to furnish
bond and was taken to jail atOwboro.
Tne officer was fired upon by a
crowd of negroes while he was en
route to arrest Matheny. He had
made a contract with two menshow him the house where Mathenylived, when he was attacked by the
negrtes. They ordered|him to leave
the vicinity, but the marshal refus-
ed. The negroes then went to a
house and secured guns and fired on
Ament. Their aim was bad, howev-
er, and none of the bullets took ef-
fect.
A Correction.
In our issue of June 16th. an error
was made as to the close season on
squirrels. In addition to the time
from February 1st to June 15th,
there is another space of two
months, from Sept. 15th to Nov. 15,
when they may not be shot, neither
squirrels nor rabbits. This law was
made not only to give the squirrels
that much more protection, but to
remove the temptation from the
man or boy with a gun, to shoot
quail before the opening season for
them, which begins Nov. 15 and
closes Dec. 31. So during these
two months of the year, no kind of
game can be legally killed in Ken-
tucky except Doves. Duck, Wood-
cock, Snipe and Deer. Rabbits maybe snared or trapped or "treed"
with a dog at any time, and the
"luscious "possum" can be plucked
when ever he is ripe, but no shoot-
ing of rabbit, 1 squirrel, quail or
pheasant during this close season
from Sept. 15 to Nov. 15, both day
inclusive.
Warrant Dismissed.
London, Ky., June 16.—Thefriends and relatives of the late Geo.

man, learned on investigation of tht
records that the case, after having

John Rountree Pitched Out
of Automobile.
Paducah, June 18.—John Roun-
tree, a prominent business man of
Sharpe, Marshall county, was badly
injured while being driven to his
home from this city in an automo-bile. Rountree had come to Padu-
cah to join a party of prospectors
going to Southern Texas. He re-
ceived word that his wife was very
ill, and he hired an automobile andchauffeur, Albert Garney, to hurryhim to the bedside of his wife.
Going through the city at a lively
clip, a wheel was pulled off when the
machine struck the street car track,
and Rountree was hurled out on his
head, resulting in a slight fracture
to the skull. He was picked up un-
conscious and taken to a hotel,wherephysicians attended him. They say
he will recover. The chauffeur wasnot hurt.

OF TOBACCO
Will Greatly Decrease Im-
portations By Foreign
Countries.
A NOTE OF WARNING.
France Will Look to Other
Countries—Supply From
Her Colonies.
Washington, June 17.—The Bu-
reau of Manufacturers made public
a report received from Consul Gen-
eral Skinner at Marseilles in reply to
an inquiry from correspondents as to
the probable effect in France of
increase of 20 to 30 per cent, in
price of American tobacco. He states
that unless clearly justified by gen-
eral crop conditions it would be to
accentuate the present tendency in
France to procure supplies in other
countries. In five years, Consul
Skinner says, the only substantial in-
crease in importations of Americantobacco occurred in 1905, and this
increase just measured the shortage
in importations from Algeria. Thedisposition seems to be to decrease
importations from the United States,
while increasing them from other
countries.
It must be remembered, continues
Consul Skinner, that American ex-
porters are dealing with an absolute
government monopoly, and that if
prices in the United States should
advance too rapidly thy monopoly is
free to buy in the cheapest available
market, and may be expected to do
so, to the extent that the substitute
tobaccos do not interfere with the
volume of consumption and conse-
quent revenue which the govern-
ment expects to derive from the en-
terprise. This is equally true of
other European governments which
control the tobacco business. TheFrench government is further com-
mitted to the policy of developing
the colonies in every possible man-ner, and, other things being equal
will give their tobacco the prefer-
ence. The Consul notes specially
that advanced farming methods are
being employed in remote tobacco
growing countries which is greatly
increasing production. This is par-
ticularly true in the fertile and pop-
ulous island of Java.

Pengreave's
Helping Hand.By W. F. BRYAN.
Copyrighted. 1908, by Homer Sprafue.
Pengreave, coming slowly down the
street, gave no heed to his surround
ings. For twenty years he had been
coming down the same street, some-
times a little earlier, sometimes very
mnch later, but always he pnsse.l
along with unseeing eyes, his thoughts
Bxed upon his business and his home
At fifteen he had first turned Into the
side street from the main thorough-
rare. Horse cars had run unevenly
over the badly set rails, and flickering
gas lamps had lighted all save the
business streets. Now there were trol-
leys everywhere, and even the alley-
ways were lighted by electricity, but
Richard Pengreave gave no heed to
these changes.
It had been a good locality once.
When Pengreave, in the glory of his
first long trousers and his first "real"
job, had sought a boarding place Mrs.Beldln's had been recommended as be-
ing In a "nice residential neighbor-
hood."
It had been a well swept street then,
lined with rows of three story brick
houses and here and there a "brown-stone front" to break the monotoay.Now the homes had given way to Aveand six story tenements. Mud heapsand garbage barrels littered the un-kempt pavement and the broken flag-
stones.
The Beldlo house, too, had changed.Mrs. Beldln's daughter had assumedcharge at her mother's death and hadchanged It to a furnished room bouse,
declaring that the cares of a large
kitchen weighed too heavily upon her.
Then she married and had moved up-
town, and some one else had taken overthe shabby houso, with Its shabby fur
nl hire.
The change had annoyed Pengreave.and he bad promptly purchased the

place, for he was errand boy no longer,
but the proprietor of a business. Hehad retained the first floor for his ownuse, and a real estate agent bad rentedthe other floors. He handed Pengreavequarterly checks, and Pengreave wor-
ried no more.He was sure of a home, the only
home he bad known. He sat at his
window In the summer evenings andlooked across the square opposite andgave no heed to the children swarmingIn the street.
There had been few children whenhe had first come to Barrow street, andthose were well dressed and orderly.
Now the policeman on the beat had his
hands full, and only Pengreave remain-ed serene and uuworrled.Once for nearly a year be had wor-
ried. It was when he was nineteenand be bad fancied himself In love.
But Lena had married a Junk dealeron the corner below, aud, after an un-quiet month, during which be drankseldles Instead of the smaller glasses atthe Blerhalle. Pengreave had recoveredbis placidity.
Since then It had pleased him to be-
lieve that his life bad been wrecked,and so he kept Lena's faded photo-graph on the mantelpiece, and at timeshe took It down and sighed over It;
also be avoided all feminine society.
At bis uncle's death the hitter's busi-
ness bad passed to him, and under bis
sven administration It had grown great-
ly. He lunched at better places, andhe also dined downtown. He bought a
new suit of clothes whenever bis old
cashier discreetly blnted that one wasneeded.
The woman who acted janltress
for the house attended also to bis
rooms, and be found them always or-
derly. He asked nothing more.
But tonight a surprise waited for Uim
at his very door. As he let himself lu
a voice rrom the darkness of the floor
above roused him. It waa a musical
voice with the indefinable accent of
good breeding, and It gave to the sim-
ple question the melody of a song.Ml am not the doctor," was his reply
he kept ou up the stairs Instead ofturning tn»n hU own anartmanta on
the first floor. "Is there need of a doc-
tor? Some one Is 111?"
"Mrs. Brady." explained the voice
"She scalded her hand, and I sent a lit
tie girl for n doctor."
Pengreave turned up the tiny flicker
of gas. The Increased! flame revealeJ
a dainty feminine form In a simpletailored gown. Pengreave was con-
scious only that the gtrl was well dress-
ed. It was the face that held htm fas-
cinated The features were well cut
aud regular; the eyes were calm and
unarrald aud of a deep tender blue
Ifaal moved Pengreave strangely
"Where do you live?" he demanded.
The girl smiled.
"I don't live here." she explained. "I
am a visitor from the Helping Handsociety."
Pengreave was puzzled.
"They need charity here?" he de-
mnnded. "I thought that was only
with the very poor."
"These are the very poor," she said
simply. "Don't you know?"Pengreave shook his head In bewil-
derment. Twenty years he had lived
there, and poverty had come to be his
neighbor, but he did not know It
"Had I known I should have given
aid," he said quietly. "If there is need,
come to me. The doctor-I will payhim. Send me his bill. I am sorry for
Mrs-Mrs"-"Brady." supplied the girl. "You are
very good."
Then the physician hustled In, andPengreave went downstairs to bis
rooms. In a little while there was a
tapping at the door, and he opened It
to discover the girl.
"Mrs. Brady asked me to thank youfor your kindness," she said. "It
pleased her so much that she almost
forgot the hurt of her burn."
Pengreave smiled. He could not re-
call ever having been thanked before.
He had never done anything to call for
thanks because be did not know bow."You must come again when you
need help." ha said warmly. "I amhere always In the evenings. You havebut to ask."
"I shall hold you to your promise."
she said. "Thsre Is much good that
you can do. We are so handicappedby lack of money, and there Is so
much that we want to da You mustsee for yourself the misery about you.
Good night."
She hurried down the hall, and Pen-
greave waited until the street door
closed behind her before he shut bis
own.He went back Into the room, his head
In a whirl. Dimly he was conscious
that the street was not the same as it
had been In bis boyhood. The girl
must be right He was willing to see
with her eyes, those eyes of the glori-
ous blue.
Those eyes gave him much to think
about He was not yet forty, andmore than half of his years had been
given to the unwavering pursuit of
business. True, there had been Lena,
but now Pengreave knew how little
Lena had really meant to him.
For the flrst time that he could re-
member he bad met a woman of his
own kind, and he felt the need of
knowing more of the life he had miss-
ed. He remembered that be was still
a comparatively young man, and those
blue eyes had loosened somethingwithin his breast—his repressed boy-
hood, his unrealized need of the soci-
ety of his fellows.
He was as one born again and, being
born, saw the world in a new light.
Methodically he removed the picture
of Lena from Its tawdry frame andtossed It upon the coals glowing In the
open Are. He was rather well pleased
with the reflection in the mirror abovethe mantel as be stood there.
"I must get some new clothes to-
morrow," he said to the reflection;
"also I must And a place where it la
well to live, a house such as she will
like. I, too, need a helping band."And the reflection In the mirror smiled
back at him. Now that Pengreave wasawakened be knew It was welL Therest would follow In due course.
Camel Races.
Camel races are held regularly In the
south of Algeria, where valuable prizes
are offered for the encouragement of
the breed of racers, and as much Inter-
est is taken In their preparation andperformance as In that of race horses
In this country. The racing camels are
the result of very careful breeding
through many generations, and in size,
temper and appearance they are so
different from the ordinary beast of
burden that they might almost be con-
sidered a different race of animals.
Perhaps the most conspicuous char-
scteristlc of the ordinary camel is its
extreme slowness. Nothing on earth
will ever Induce It to burry. A twentydollar note will buy a very fair speci-
men, but for a mehari, or racing camel,
Ave or ten times that sum Is required
to effect a purchase.The racer, however, can be depended
on for nine or ten miles an hourKept up for sixteen or seventeen hoursalmost without a stop. The pace In a
! samel race Is generally fast and furl-
3us at the beginning, when all the ant-
!coals are together and seem to realize
that a contest la In progress.
The Famous Basilisk.
According to the ancient writers, thebaslllsk-sometlmea called cockatrlce-vras a monster to be greatly dreaded.Its breath tilled the air with a deadlypoison and burned up vegetation, andtbe glance of Its eye waa fatal to bothaan and beast. The only creature that:ould face It and live, they said, wasthe cock, and travelers were advised to
take loud crowing cocks with them ast protection against the monster. Somuch for superstition. As a matter offact the basilisk Is a harmless Heard,living a quiet life In the woods andfeeding on Insects. Its appearance.However, Is formidable, and it Is thisperhaps that gave it a bad name. It

Mr AND SHERMAN
REPUBLICAN TICKET
iContlnued from First P««e.:
the South,' of course, with the sin-
gle exception of Col. Andrew Cowan,
of Kentucky, opposed to it to a man.
Had it passed the allies would have
had the poor satisfaction of having
induced the party to register its re-
buke of the methods to which Mr.
Taft will owe his nomination and the
imewhat more practical satisfaction
of preventing the employment of
such means in the future.
Wilson Turns Trick.
That the allies were again defeated
is due not so much to the working
of the steam roller, although the
thirty eight votes cast by Ohio
against the resolution resulted in its
defeat, as to the fact that the holy
rollers found an uncounted-on but
powerful instrument in Gov. Will-
son, of Kentucky, whose speech
against the resolution, on the
ground that if adopted it would dei
liver the control of the Republican
party into the power of eight states,
and would make the party more sec-
tional even than it has charged the
Democratic party with being, was
easily the strongest and most effect-
argument delivered in opposition.
The Taft managers, in order fully
to conserve the interests of their
candidate, early in the day Thursday
placed on the floor of the convention,
but not in the capacity of either
delegates or alternates, a number of
the most prominent men in the par-
ty who are attached to the Taft
didacy. The duty of these men was
to watch the work of the opposition
candidates and promptly to head off
any possible defection of strength
and to hasten all accessions.
Cannon, Fairbanks, Knox, LaFollette and Taft were placed in
nomination. ,The first ballot result-
ed, Taft 702, Hughes 67. Cannon, 58,
Fairbanks 40, Knox 68. LaFollette
25, Foraker 16. Necessary to nomi
nate 491. Taft's nomination was
made unanimous.
The convention then adjourned
until 10 o'clock Friday morning, the
platform having been adopted as
Taft wanted it. Taft will probably
be permitted to choose his running
mate.
It is announced in Washington that
Secretary Taft's resignation as a
Cabinet officer will be received by
President Roosevelt, and that it will
take effect on July 1.

Thomas J. Ryan, a well known cit-
izen, died Wednesday night at his
home on North Virginia street, af-
ter an illness of several weeks, of
uraemic poisoning. He was 64 years
old and for many years was engagedin farming. For some years he wastoll-gate" keeper at The Square.on the
Clarksville pike and he moved fromthat place to this city. Mr. Ryanhad been paralyzed in his lowerlimbs for twenty years and his only
way of getting around from place
to place was by means of a rolling
chair which he propelled with his
hands. He is survived by his widowand three daughters, two of whomreside in Chicago and the other in
Nashville.
The interment took place in River-
side cemetery Thursday afternoon.
New Ruling.
Registered mail specifically ad-
dressed must in the future be secur-
ed by the person to whom it is ad-
dressed and no other. You cannot
send an employe or a member of
your family after such a letter or
parcel, nor can any such be received
at the bourse or the office. A fath-
er cannot touch the mail of his son
or daughter, if thus safeguarded,
nor has the postmaster authority to
turn them over. There has been a
laxity about this heretofore that has
caused general complaint.

IS HE DEAD?
Nothing Heard From John
Heath for Three Months,
John Heath, who went tu ( iklaho-
ma last winter shortly after having
been visited by night riders at Daw-
son, has not been heard from by his
family and friends in this county for
the past three months, and it is fear-
ed that he is dead. A report has
been current that he was killed in a
cyclone that passed over some parts
of Oklahoma several weeks ago, but
this report has not been confirmed,
His mother, Mrs. Emaline Heath,
lives four miles west of Cadiz, and is
very much worried because she has
been unable to hear from him, and
her idea is that he is dead. Mr.
Heath was born and reared in Trigg
county, but for several years past
had made his home in Hopkinsville,
until a short tim* ago when he went
to Dawson.—Cadiz Record.

In vain will the readers of this
tale of romantic love and bril-
liant daring search the maps ofthe world for the picturesque
land of Kravonia, wherein lovely,
fascinating Sophy and her mys-
terious Red Star played their
parts. This much we may tell
him before he embarks on h,'
voyage to Kravonia. But we mayassure him that when he reluc-
tantly parts with Sophy, some-
time scullery maid of Morping-
ham, Essex, England, later spirit-
ualistic medium ofParis, France,
and still later of high rank in
Slavna and Volseni, in Kravonia,
the country of her adoption will
he to him, like Zenda and Graus-
tark, more real than are many of
the smaller, actual kingdoms ofthe earth. Sad and tragic in someof its aspects is the love story ofSophy of Kravonja, bat its pa-thos is so lightened by devotedloyalty, hardy bravery and ten-
ter, self sacrificing affection
that at the end the reader will
mrely fyfi tff$ tolling has not
been unworthy of the masterhand of its famous chronicler.

did so Intrusting his horse to his next
fellow. Half of the fifty thus left
mounted repeated this operation, leav-
ing the remaining tw enty-five In cbargaof all the horses. The seventy-five took
position, four deep, on the road. Theyseparated, lining either side.

him. His men followed and drew up

for Which he had waited In forced pa-

was a critical day also In view of the
Instructions he had. To do him jus-

Sophy saw and knew. This musthave been the news that ZerUovitch
carried, that he had galloped on to
tell the prince at Volseni. Some event
—some unknown and untoward turn of
fortune—had loosed Mlstiteh on them!
That was all she had time to realize ba-

"Your business with me, please?"
"i hare it in command from his maj-
esty to escort you to Slavna—to the
palace and Into his presence. The king
himself will then acquaint you with his
Wishes."
"You're a strange messenger to send."
"That's a point to put to my superior
officer, Colonel Stafnltz, who sent me.
Sophy pointed at his men. "You ride
itrongly supported!"
"Again the colonel's orders, baron-

devices, and, In a little while, to his re
venge.
"I mustn't hurry you. You have souit
preparations"—"None," said Sophy. Her horse wat
led out Into the road.• You'll at least desire to acquaint his
royal highness"—"Not at all necessary. Baron von
Hollbrandt can do that later on."Mist Itch looked puzzled. Sophy smll
ed. Her Intuition had been right. Thfattack on her was a feint, her arrest a
blind. The prince was the real object
of the move. She stepped down towardMlstltch.
"I see my horse Is ready. We cai
start at once, captain,"- she said.
"I'm Instructed to express to th<
prince regret that It should be neces-
sary"-"The regret, will be conveyed to him.
Come, captain!"
But Mlstltch barred her way."His royal highness is In the castle?"
he asked. His voice grew angry now.He feared the groat stroke had failed.
He saw that Sophy played with him.
How would he and his escort look rid-
ing back to Slavna with nothing to
show for their Journey save the cap-
ture of one unresisting woman—a woman whom they dared not harm while
the prince remained free and might be-
>me all powerful?"If he had been you'd have known it
r now, I think," smiled Sophy. "No,
le prince Isn't at the castle."
"I'll see that for myself!" Mlstltch
led, taking a step forward.
With a low laugh Sophy drew aside,
passed him and ran down the cause-

She looked up to Mlstltch and called to

"Now for Slavna, captain! And hur-
or you'll lie left behind!"
Her wit was too quick for him. Maxin Hollbrandt burst out laughing. Te-
ter Vaaaip grinned.
"What are you waiting for, captain?"
asked Max. "Your prisoner's only too

out gayly:
"Nonsense, I'eter! There's nothing to

Her words stopped Mlstltch. Hefeared a trap. Max saw It and mockedhim. "Don't be afraid, captain. Takefifty men in with you. The garrison
consists of a lady In bed, an old manand five female servants."
Sophy heard and laughed. Even the
troopers began to laugh now. Mlstltch
stood on the top of the causeway. Ir-
resolute, baffled, furious.
But behind his stupidity lay the eun
nlng astuteness of Stafnltz, the In-
genious bit of deviltry. MIstltch's nameavailed where his brain could not. For
the moment the prince made little of
the crown which had become his. Whenhe heard Zerkovltch's news his over-
powering thought was that the womanhe loved might be exposed to the pow-
er and the Insults of Mlstltch. Sophy-
was playing a skillful game for him.
but he did not know it.
"I hear something," said Teter Vas-
slp again, whispering to Max von Holl-
brandt.
Yes, there was the galloping of horses
on the Volseni road!
Colonel Stafnltz had not mlscalcu
lated.
Now Mlstltch heard the sound. His
heavy face brightened. He ran downthe causeway loudly ordering hla mento mount. He was no longer at a loss.
He had his cue now-the cue Stafnltz
had given hi in.

He stayed to tell tax

'except Lnkovltch. But as hi •
twenty rode out of the gate behindhim he turned his head to Zerkovli. li
who trotted beside him, for EtHtorltcbneither rjould nor would rest till tho
game was played, and said, "Tell the:n
that the king Is dead and that I reign."
Zerkovltch whispered the news to the
man next him. and It ran along the
line. A low, stem cheer, hardly monthan a murmured assurance of loyalty
and service, came from the lips of the
men In sheepskins.
Mlstltch saw them coming and turn-
ed to his troop. He had time for a lit
tie speech, and Stafnltz had taught htmwhat to say: "Men, you are servants of
the king and of the king only. No-even the Prince of Slavna can command you against the king's prders
Ihe king's orders are that we take
Baroness Dobrava to Slavna, no matfer who resists. If need be, these or
ders stand even against the prince."
Btafnitz's soldiers- the men he pet-
ted, the men who had felt the prince s
Btern hand—were only too glad to heat
it. To strike for the king and yet
against the hated prince-It was a lux
ury, a happy and unlooked for harmoHiring of their duty and their pleasureTheir nnswerlng cheer was loud andfierce.
It struck harsh on the ears of the advanclng prince. His face grew hardand strained as he heard the shoutsand sow the soiled body of men acrusx
the path, barring access to his owncastle. And within a yard or two or
their ranks by the side of the rood sat
the figure which he knew so well andao -jp-JJ loved.
Now Mlstltch played his card, that
move in the game which Sophy's cool
submission to his demand bad for the
moment thwarted, but to which tbe
prince's headlong anger and fear nowgave an opening, the opening whichStafnltz had from the first foreseen
g-ould need little to make tbe fiery
lorget prudence when he was" ice with Mlstltch. It was not
% game for Mlstltch personally-Stafnltz and he knew that—but
Captain Hercules was confident. Hewoyld not be caught twice by the VoKseni trick of sword! The satisfaction
of his revenge and the unstinted re-
wards that his colonel offered made it
worth his while to accept the risk andrendered it grateful to his heart.
Sophy sat smiling. She would fain
have averted the encounter and hadShaped her maneuvers to that end. It
was not to be so, it seemed. Now, shedid not doubt monseigneur's success,
bun she wished that Zerkovltch hadmj^ reached VolsenI so quickly; that
the prince had stayed behind his walls
till his plans were ready, and that shewas going a prisoner to Slavna to
tbe king, trusting to her face,
tongue, her courage and the star of herown fortune. Never had her buoyantself confidence run higher.
On the top of the causeway MaxHollbrandt looked to his revolver, re-
fer Vassip loosened his knife in its
leather sheath. A window above the
gate opened, and Marie Zerkovlteh'f
frightened face looked out. The womej£f«ervants jostled old Vassip In the
doorway. The grooms stood outside
the stables. No one moved. Only the
prince's little troop came on. Whenthey were fifty yards away Mlstltch
cried to his men, "Draw sworda!" andhimself pricked his horse with his spurand rode up to where Sophy was.Mlstltch drew his horse up parallel
to Sophy's, head to tail, on her right
Bide, between her and the approachingforce. With the Instinct of hatred sheshrank away from him. It had all beenforeseen and rehearsed In Stafnitz's
mind. Mlstltch cried loudly. "In the
king's name. Baroness Dobrava!" Heleaned from the saddle and caught herright wrist in his huge hand. He hail
the Justification that at his first attempt
to touch her Sophy's hand had flown to
her little revolver and held it now.Mlatltch crushed her wrist. The re-
volver fell to the ground. Sophy gaveone cry of pain. Mlstltch dropped herwrfct and reached his arm about her
watt. He was pulling her from her
hofle, while again he cried out: "In the
kiDffjB. name! On guard!"lM*us a high Jump from the top of
the Jauseway, but two men took it side
by side—Max von Hollbrandt, revolver
In hand, Peter Vassip, with knife un-
sheathed.
As they leaped, another shout rangout, "Long live King Serglus!"
The prince rode his fastest, but faster
still rode Zerkovltch. He outpaced the
prince and rode right in among Mls-titch's n%. crying loudly again andagain uj"»rtrigiy: "The king is dead!Tbe kinglS dead! The king is dead!"Then came the prince. He rode full
at Mlstltch. His men followed himand dashed, with a shock, against the
troopers of Mlstltch's escort. As they
rode they cried, "I/mg live King Ser-
glua!" They had unhorsed a doeen
men and wounded four or Ave before
they realized that they met with no r*>
•Jatance. Mlstltch's men were para-
lysed. The king was dead. They wereto light against the king! The magicof the name worked. They dropped the

tnajftbesitatlng to strike men who did
not 'defend themselves, puzzled and In
doubt, turned to their bailiff- their king
for his orders.
As the prince came up Mlstltch hurl-
ad Sophy from him. She fell from her
horse, but fell On the soft, grassy road
side and sprang up unhurt aave for a
cruel pnlii Ifl b«l .rushed wrist. She
turned her eyes whither all eyes were
turned now Tbe general battle wasstayed, but fnt the single combat. For
a moment none moved save the twowho were now to engage.
The flgbt of the Street of the Founlain fell to l>e fought again, for whenPeter Vassip was darting forward,
knife In hand, with a spring like n
mountain gouts, his master's voice
called, "Mine. Teter; mine!" It wasthe old cry when they shot wild boar In
the woods about Dobrava, and it
brought Peter Vassip to a Btand. Muxvon Hollbrandt, too, lowered his point-
ed revolver. Who should stand lie
tween his quarry and the king, be
tween Sophy's lover and the man whohad so outraged her? Big Mlstlteb
was the king's game and the kings
only that day.
Mlstltch's chance was gone, and he
must have known it. Where was the
sergeant who had undertaken to cover
him? He had turned tall. Where wasthe enveloping rush of his men, which
should have engulfed and paralyzed
the enemy? Paralysis was on his menthemselves. They believed Zerkovltch
and lacked appetite for the killing of u
king. Where was his triumphant re
turn to Slavna, his laurels, his rewards,
his wonderful swaggerlngs at the
Golden Lion? They were all gone. Even
Mlstltch IcU toifh a mighty crash, shotthrouflh the head,
though he killed the king, there weretwo dozen men vowed to have his life.
They must have it, but at what price?
His savage valor set tbe figure high.
It was the old fight again, but not
the old manner. There was no delicate
sword play, no fluctuating fortunes in
the fray. It was all stern and short.
Tbe king bad not drawn his sword;Mlstltch did not seek to draw his. Twoshots rang out sharply—that was all.
The king reeled In his saddle, but main-tained his seat. Big Mlstltch threw his
hands above his head, with a loud cry,
and fell, with a mighty crash, on the
road, shot through the head. PeterVassip ran to the king and helped himto dismount while Max von Hollbrandtheld his horse. Sophy hurried to wherethey laid him by the roadside.
"Disarm these fellows!" cried Zerko-vltch.
But Mlstltch's escort were in no moodto wait for this operation, nor to stayand suffer the anger of the king. Withtheir leader's fall the last of heart wasout of them. Wrenching themselvesfree from such of the Volsenians assought to arrest their flight, they turn-
ed their horses' heads and fled, one andall, for Slavna. The king's men at-
tempted no pursuit. They clusteredaround the spot where he lay.
"I'm bit," he said to Sophy, "but notbadly, I think."
From the castle door, down the cause-
way, came Marie Zerkovltch, weepingpassionately, wringing her hands. Thesoldiers parted their close ranks to let
her through. She came to tbe roadsidewhere Sophy supported monselgneur'shead upon her knees. Sophy lookedup and saw her. Marie did not speak.
She stood there, sobbingand wringing her handsover Sophy and thewounded king.

They could not go back now. Theygo through with it Countess El-
lenburg took to her knees. Stenovlcsand Stafnltz held long conversations.Every point of tactical importance inthe city was occupied by troops. Slav-na was silent, expectant, curious.Murkart woke at 6 o'clock, heavy of
head, dry In the mouth, sick and ill.
He found himself no longer in theking's suit, but in one of the apart-ments which Stafnltz bad occupied.
He was all alone. The door stood open.
He understood that he was no more aprisoner. He knew that the king wasead.
But who else was dead, and whoalive, and who king in Slavna?He forced himself to rise and hur-
ried through the corridors of the pal-
ace. They were deserted. There waso hinder him, nobody of whomQuestion. He saw a decanter
of brandy standing near the door ofone room and drank freely of it. Thenhe made bla way Into the garden. Hesaw men streaming over the bridge to-

ment'B hesitation, as It seemed to Mark-
art, the crowd of people on the other
side of the square echoed back the ac-
clamations of the soldiers.
All Countess Ellenburg's ambitions
were ut stake. For Stenovlcs and Staf-
nltz It was a matter of life itself now,so daringly had they raised their handsagainst King Serglus. Countess Ellen-
burg hud indeed prayed, and now pray-
ed all alone In a deserted palace, but
not one of the three had hesitated. Atthe head of a united army. In the nameof a united people, Stafnltz had de-
manded the proclamation of youngAlexis as king. For an hour Stenovlcs
bad made a show of demurring; then
he bowed to the national will. Thatnight young Alexis enjoyed more honorthan he had asked of Lepage the valet
—he was called not prince, but majesty.
He was king in Slavna. and the first
work to which they set his childish
hand was the proclamation of a Btate
of siege.
Slavna chose him willingly or be-
cause it must at the bidding of the
soldiers, but VolsenI was of anothermind. They would not have the Ger-
man woman's son to reign over them.Into that faithful city the woundedking threw himself, with all his friends.
The body of Mlstltch lay all day andall night by the wayside. Next morn-ing at dawn the king's grooms cameback from VolsenI and buried it undera clump of trees by the side of the lane
running down to Lake Taltl. Their
curses were the only words spoken overthe grave, and they flattened the earthlevel with the ground again that
might know where the man rested whohad lifted his hand against their master.
The king was carried to Volseni sore
stricken. They did not know whetherbe would live or die. He had a dan-gerous wound in the longs, and, to
make matters worse, the surgical skill
available at VolsenI was very primi-
tive.
But in that regard fortune broughtaid and brought also to Sophy a strangeconjecture of the new life with the old.
The landlord of the inn sent word to
Lukovitch that two foreign gentlemenhad arrived at his house that after-
noon and that the passport of one of
them described him as a surgeon. Thelandlord had told him how things stood,
and he was anxious to render help.
Basil Williamson. Dunstan-bury and he, accompanied by HenryBrown, Dunstanbury's servant, hadreached Volseni that day on their re-
turn from a tour in the Crimea andaround the shores of tbe sea of Azof.

A Former Gracey Marshal
Charged With Being in
Raid Dec. 7.
AFTER THE TRUST ALSO
Several Other Indictments
For Minor Offenses Not
Made Public.
The grand jury adjourned Thurs-
day afternoon after returning four-
teen additional indictments, one of
them for night riding. This was
against Gano M. Warder, former
marshal of Gracey, who was prompt-
ly arrested and his bond fixed at
$1,000. which he did not give and
spent the night in jail'. He is charg-
ed with complicity in the raid on
Hopkinsville. Evidence connecting
him with other raids is said to be at
hand, but the witnesses could not be
gotten before the grand jury.
The grand jury did not return in-
dictments against George Barnes,
Omer Barnes, Jim Jones, Cap
Jones, Y. G. Gibson and J. B. Hen-
derson, who were arrested on war-
rants sworn out before the County
Court several days ago charging
them with being night riders.
The chief witness against them is
not now in Kentucky and the grand
jury did not investigate their cases.
The men's bonds have expired and
they are not now under bond, but
any future grand jury may take up
the investigation.
The International Harve|tter Com-
pany was indicted on the dfearge of
being a combination of manufactur-
ing concerns for the purpose of reg-
ulating, fixing and controlling prices
on harvesting machines. The names
of several prominent citizens, both
farmers and dealers in machines, are
given in the indictment as witnesses.
This is the first indictment yet se-
cured in this county against this
company.
The town of Fairview was indict
ed on the charge of maintaining a
nuisance, it being alleged that for
two years past a mudhoie had been
allowed to remain in the street.
The other indictments were not
made public.
Only about thirty-five indictments
were returned in sixteen days.

tucky. The range near Louisville is
being put in condition, and when it
is ready the First Regiment will use
that range instead of coming to
Frankfort. It costs about $6,000 and
requires a good deal of time to get
a range in condition for use, and
therefore it will be several days be-
fore the range in Louisville is ready.
The range at Eariington will be
used by the Third Regiment, which
is in Western Kentucky. This has
been donated by J. B. Atkinson, and
will serve admirably, Gen. Johnston
thinks. The State encampments this
year will number three, and will be
held at the regimental rifle ranges,
as Gen. Johnston says he wants all
the men to know how to shoot and
at least see some other men shoot, if
they do not want to shoot them-
selves. Gen. Johnston says that a
soldier who cannot shoot is of no
earthly use, and therefore he is go-
ing to have the men learn how to
handle the guns which they carry
while on active service.

Frankfort, Kyrfjune 19—Withthe treasury probably lower in funds
than ever before, except in 1896, it
may be necessary to call an extra
session of the legislature to provide
money with which to run the depart-
ments of the State government.
Capt. Ed Farley, State Treasurer, in
a letter which he wrote to the jailer
of Mason county on Wednesday.says
that every effort is being made to
avoid the necessity for an extra
sion. In case an extra session is
called it would be called for the
same purpose as was the extra ses-
sion of 1896, when interest-bearing
warrants were authorized. This is
a way to meet the difficulties which
are presented, and it may be that
Gov. Willson will call the extra ses-
sion, probably in the winter.
ENGLISH MARKET
May Be Open To the Associ-
ation Tobacco.
R. C. West has just finished re-
handling two car loads of association
tobacco bought for English dealers
and unpacked and redried as an ex-
periment to suit the trade that de-
mands its own handling. Aside from
increased expense of trying to
make prized tobacco answer for the
loose trade, Mr. West thinks he has
succeeded in putting it up to i
his dealers. The report from Li 1
pool will be awaited with interest. If
the English house can use the re-
handled tobacco, there may be a newmarket for the tobacco that is not
good condition in the storage
houses if it is decided to re-grade it
and lower the price.
