VICTORY ASSURED.
WE'VE MET THE ENEMY AND
THEY ARE OURS.
Everything Indicates Vests and
McPherson's Election.

The election is at fever heat as we
go 10 press though most of the vote
has been polled. 1t 10 impossible
now 10 predict results accurately, but
everything indicates an easy victory
for West and Mcpherson. The re-
ports that come in are meager and
we have CLEANED only the following
which are reliable enough for publ
cation. At Hamby's West was 5
ahead and Breathitt I. The vote at
Pembroke at 80 o'clock was: Nc
Pherson ISL, Bresthitt ia, Wiley l33'
West TO- At Kelly's at dinner Wi
ley and Breathitt were about 30
ahead, and at Union School house
their majorilies were light. The
vote at Casky at the sam G
hour was Wiley 40, West 60, Breath
lit So, Mcpherson 81, lIanberry
4, A telegram from Crofton when
the polls closed for dinner gave the
vote as follows: West IA, Wiley 80,
Mcpherson 1873, Breathitt Dol. At
Union School House the Democrats
had a majority of over CO. The pre-
cincts to the South were giving Han
berry q heavy vote but we were not
able to get the figures.
The last count we got in this city
was as follows: Precinct No. l,
Mcpherson 235, Breathitt 1887, West
236, Wiley 40l; No. 2, West 1926,
Wiley oil, Hanbery Z, Mcpherson
32S, Breathitt 1877. The usual Re-
publican majority in this city is over
300, but at dinner the Democratic
candidates were behind only 10 and
40 votes respectively. This of itself
is enough to insure the election of
West and Mcpherson.
At dinner George Brady, for Con-
stable, had a majority of SO over
Hord, COL, which he will probably
maintain till the end.
Let everybody rejoice. They are
ours. There will have to be some
miraculous voting done in the outly-
ing precincts to keep out our nomi-
uees.
At 80 o'clock a telegram from
Crofton says: "West's majority at
this time is 200" SO the good work
goes on. Every report that comes in
is more encouraging. Let us all sing.

waived examination on Tuesday and
gave bond in the sum OF 500 to an

These silent records of the past are

Legal and social circles here were
treated on Monday to a highly sensa-
tional marriage. The facts as were
given us are after this wise: George
Price and Miss Lula Cunningham
have been living at Shakertown,
where they by chance fell in
love. The latter part of last week
they skipped TO Guthrie and
spent Friday night there.
There seemed to be some friction,
however as things didn't work
smooth, so on Saturday morn Lula
swears out warrant against George
in which he was charged with unlaw-
full detention. The paper was served
by the Constable of Guthrie and Price
brought here Saturday night, TO &C.
cupy the bridal chamber at the hotel
de Hickman. Before the procession
was TO begin on Monday Price sent
for his fair love that they might hold
brief love feast at the jail. All the
sins, both of ommissicn aud commits
sion were forgiven and George and
Lula agreed to marry. The boys
around town made up money enough
to buy the license and Judge Bristow
said the cermony free. At the con-
clusion Of the solemn rite the twain
started up the hill of life together on
foot, to be fcd by the ravens.

Peter Anderson, photographer
10 the employ of the L. & N. whose
home is at Pembroke, met with a
painful accident last week. He was
suffering with an eye trouble and
got bottle of medicine from drug
store. Another laborer got some car
bolic acid from the same store in a
similar bottle and placed 1t in the car
near Anderson's medicine. When
he came to use the eye-water by mis-
take he took up the acid and dropped
two or three drops of il into his eye.
His suffering was most intense for
time, the acid almost burning out his
eye. ea

weeks ago, but no one suspected that
he was so near his fate.
Sunday morning an intoxicated
colored man lost his hat off of the
north bound passenger train near
Casky. lie jerked the bell rope to
stop the train which precipitated a
collision between him and conductor
Schuling. The colored fellow be-

platform jumped of sustaining seve-
raj slight bruises. The train was
stopped and he was brought on to
this city.
One night last week an attempt
was made to burglarize the residence
of Mr.. Nat Wright. Mrs. Wright
and her sister, Miss Hayes, were the
only people in the house. The thief
attempted to get in at one of the win

revolver fired by one of the ladies
and he made off at great rate. The
courage of the ladies is very much to
be commended.

fcminineroles are chosen from their models
who frequent the studios. Some years ago
the play OF the season was called "Abra-
ham; or, the Patriarch who Deceived His
Wife" Coquelin cadet and Coquelin
aine both played in this astonishing piece.
The role OF Hagar was 30 very free and
easy that tho model who had been selected
fori declined to appear in it; whereupon
she was put into DURANGO vile by the
painters, who rcfused'to give her anything
10 eat or TO let her but.of the studio which
served as the prison until she would agree
to play in the piece, She threatened legal
prosecution, but II was OF no avail. The
performance is said TO have been quite
startling. Two or three years afterward
this model committed suicide. The play
was given in mansion belonging to one
OF the members on the Boulevard Mont
parvasse, and IL liz related OF him that he
tore out half dozen partitions in order to
make hall large enough for the occasion.
