FRANK STILL MISSING.
His Store Broken Inio by the Coroner and a
Policeman.

Frank, the Italian butcher on East
Douglas avenue, is still missing.
Several days ago this thrifty butcher
locked up his shop one night, stuck the
keys down in his pocket and went whist
ling down into the dark and gloomy
depths Of Fourth avenue. Some said he
went with u woman, charcoal blond, a
fac simile Of the queen of clubs. AS to
this, however, the present deponent saith
not, for Frank is an Italian and butcher
to boot.
Next morning Franks customers were
at the door of his shop, kicking their heels
to keep warm, while they waited, but be
came no.. Noon came and went and
Frank didn't show up. Night. the next
day and the next day after that came and
went and still Frank did not turn up.
People peeped through the windows and
saw the meat hanging on the hooks, the
knives and cleayers and saws and blocks
and everything were there, but Frank.
Yesterday Lee Cone, the policeman
noticed strange smell about the place
and he at once posted after Coroner Mc-Col-
lister. Mack arrived with that eager look
his face assumes when he anticipates the
pleasure of sitting on dead body. He,
too, smelt something strange. The police
man said IL was the meat. Mack shook
his head. bystander suggested that
Franks dead body might be in the back
room. Mack nodded very gracefully to
this, and admired the keen penetration
and wisdom OF the bysLander. Lee Cone
twirled his billy with his thumb and
fore finger. There was q moment of deep
silence, all looked at one another and then
the wise bystander suggested that in the
interest of sanitation the doors
should be broken open and
matters satisfactorily settled. Mack
had already figured on who he should have
as jurors a. the Inquest, but when the by
stander made the above remark about
sanitation Mack formed new panel and
put the bystander on as foreman. The
door was opened and the two officers and
the bystander stealthily crawled toward
the back room, where the smell was, and
found-some decaying sausage.
Frank, however. is still missing and his
disappearance is quite serious. There are
a number of men who thoroughly believe
that he has been murdered. The police
are at their wits ends about the case and
they want Frank to turn up either dead
or alive pretty soon or two or three OK
them will 20 crazy.

FRANKFORT, KY, Mar. 8. 1904
Mr.. Editor:
wish to say TO the good peo-
pie Of Franklin county, through
your columns, in reference to the
well-known fact Of my recent can
didacy for jailer, and my defeat at
the primary upon the 9th, that |
made my race upon high princi-
piles, without the use of whisky
or money, and though | went
down in defeat. it was with clear
hands and a clear conscience.
There was small vote poiled. it
is true, and | received only about
$50 in the county. 1t was not
because | was not good Demo-
crat; not because | was gentle.
man and an honest man; not
because | was not worthy Of the
position and well qualified to hold
it, but it was because Of the
corrupt use of money and whisky
| was defeated. And | wish further
to say, that | WIS bounded down
all over the county by false rumors
and reports. There was such
SANDER spoken about me as would
have blistered the tongue Of a
brave or true man. 1t was even
said l had sod out in a previous
race, and was running in the in
terest Of another; all of these
reports being false and defamatory.
| desire to denounce their author
and those who circulated them as
wilful Caluminators and cowardly
slanderers. There has been some
reference to my connection. too.
Now | defy any man to own TO
any such falsehoods as have BEEN
told. | am poor man and work
for my daily bread, it is true, but
my honor and honesty was never
before attacked, and must not
now be assailed | have waited
until after the election to make
this explanation and feel it now
due to do so. Let me say that |
have heard that Mr.. Williams and
Mr.. Alley had both spoken re-
spectfully Of me and thank them
for it. TO those | refer to above
| will only say can be easily
found at any time.
Respectfully,
THOS. +. DALEY.

of the editor. An editor should be
nothing if not explicit, and I defy
any student of rhetoric to tell just
what idea was in the mind of the
Squire when he wrote the paragraph
quoted Was his intention to in
dulge in little yelled sarcasm at the
expense of the departing solons, or
did he really wish to jolly them up a
bit? Come, Squire, furnish us dia-
gram; the readers of the Argus may
have more than the average intelli-
gence, but you should not expect
them all to be experts in psychology.
The announcement was made on
Thursday. by Senator Worries, that
the Senate Finance Committee would
report in favor of tariff tax of one
cent a pound on sugar, and would
advocate the extension of the Bonded
Period on whisky. This latter will
be good news to the Kentucky dis
tillers, and it should by all means be
added to the Wilson Bill as an amend
ment before it passes the Senate.
Another political item Of interest in
this section is the appointment of
Representative Blanchard, who, as
Chairman of the River and Harbor
Committee, was in this city last fall,
to the vacancy in the Senate oc-
casioned by the elevation of Senator
White to the Supreme Bench. 1t is
announced that Representative Cum
mings, of Mississippi, will succeed
Blanchard as Chairman of the Com
mittee.
So
In this State the announcement that
Governor Brown would contest with
Hon. 10 Blackburn for election to the
Senate in 1896 occasions no surprise,
but it is not received with any en-
thusiasm in this section at least.
Outside of the popularity of Black
burn, which is very great, the whole
tone of Browns administration has
been such as to arouse antagonism
here. The reason assigned by Secre-
tary of State Headley, in the pub
lished interview in which he declared
Browns present candidacy, for his
withdrawal from the contest to sue
ceed Carlisle, that the Governor
thought he would be breaking faith
with the people had he resigned his
present Office in the middle of the
term, has created considerable
amusement. There isn't a man in
Frankfort who does not believe
Brown would have resigned at any
time had he thought he stood any
chance against Judge Lindsay; that
is had it been necessary for him to
resign pending the election. 1t is a
long time yet before the man will be
named. but it is pretty safe to say
that if it isn't j. G. 8. Blackburn it
will not be John Young Brown. Gov.
McCreary and his "bar'p have yet to
be heard from.
