brave sons would not be complete
without mention of Albert Wilb6rn
the master commissioner and trustee
of the jury fund. He was born in
1919, raised on farm until he was
nine cen years of age, at which time
he began teaching school and for sew
en- years was thus engaged. He next
directed his attention to the carpen-
ter's trade working at that until 1886,
when he was nominated for jailer on
the Republican ticket. He served
as jailer for four years, and after the
completion of his second term he was
made city marshal of Marion. In
whatever capacity you have found
him, he has ever been faithfully per-
forming his duty and since his ap-
pointment has made fine official as
master commissioner and trustee of the
jury fund. He is one of the public
minded men of the town, such as
have promoted her growth and nur-
tured her business prosperity. He
has evinced his faith in her future nv
permanently establishing himself at
Marion and investing his money in
property. There are few men so we'll
and favorably known throughout the
county as Mr.. Wi.born and but few
have made it his duty to look so closely
after her needs and demads. The
citizens have several times placed him
in trustworthy and responsible posi-
tons and have ever found HIM able to
the task and no burden too heavy il
it was for the good of his town and
county. He moves in the head with
everything whose prime object is for
psace and prosperity and may be
safely depended ON to cheerfully per-
form his every duty.

fully before making decision or in
structing the jury. He is we'll infor-
med on legal matters, and loses no Op-
portunity to receive information that
will aid him in the honorable dis
charge of his duties. He is of one of
the old time, ho1ored families of
Kentucky; his ancestors were sturoS.
honest and industrious, such charac-
teristics as stamp American nobility.
MIR. Moore has a fine family of grown
sons and daughters. He is a candi-
date for rejection to the county
judgeship. Whether as an officer or
private citizen he is the same courte-
Gus, dignified gentleman, a strong
Republican, partisan in politics, but
thoroughly conservative in his estima-
ton of men and measures. In this
city and county, where his greatest
success has been achieved. he has
scores of admiring friends who know
of his many generous deeds, and OF
the manly heart that beats within his
bosom. He has always been promi.
nent in all public matters and is an
estimable citizen.

Hon. j. A. MOORE,

Judge Moore was born on a farm in
this county in 1898, and was brought
up to farm life and farm work. He
attended the common schools when a
boy and his school work has been sup
pleme1ted by knowledge, experience
alone has furnished. He began farm
ing in 1861 and ''his pillow the stub
born glebe has broke" until 1886. at
which time he was elected magistrate,
He served the term of 1884 in the
legislature, and was one of the best
Informed and broad-idead men in the
legislative body. He worked for his
constituents in a way that retained
their favorable plaulits, and made
him many good friends throughout
the State. He was elected county
Judge in 1886, at that time leaving
the farm that he might the better at
tend to his official duties. His re
election in 1890 is sufficient evidence
of his popularity, and he has held
the office with honor and dignity. In
his decisions he has been honorable
and concise, weighing all points care

The beneficial results of all classes
of insurance. whateve may be its spe-

freely conceded that in this day no
prudent man of business neglects to
avsil himself of the indemnify provi-
ded by reputable companies against
possible losses by fire, etc., or death,
consequently as business, protecting
and fostering all others, insurance
merits particular notice. In this, as
in ali branches of business, some com.
panies, from long and honorable Ca
reer, from the legitimate, conservative
and strictly honest policy of their
management stand pre.eminently in
the front rank. In fire. windstorm,

WASHINGTON, q. c., February Is

forage bill this afternoon, thus defeat
Ing his scheme 70 force them TO count

throughout the long flibuster against
the selgniorage bill, in which the Re-
public2ns have taken the principal part,
Reed has done all in his power TO goad
Bland and his supporters On in demand
ing that Speaker Crisp should count
quorum. This has been the sole oo-
ject which the Republicans un-
der Reeds control have aimed az
in their flibuster. They did not
care whether the seigniorage bill passed
or was defeated, or what the effect on
the country might be, II they could
only compel the Democratic Speaker TO
initiate to some degree Reeds quorum,
counting exploits in TIE Fifty.6rst Con-
gress. This would hSve been hailed
by the Republicans as great
triumph and vindicatlon Tor
Reed and the latter would not
have stepped goating over it for the
remainder of the session. For some
days Reed was made happy By signs
that Bland aud his heutsnants were
preparing TO make demand, backed mp
by caucus mandate, on Speaker Crisp
that he should connt quorum In order
to get action on the seiEniorage bill, but
these signs failed, and this afternoon
when Bland finally got a quorum by the
aid Of some northerR Democrats who
have hitherto refused TO vote, Reeds
hopes were finally dashed and he be-
came a very angry man.
There seems to be no doubt tonight
that the quorum will be maintained to-
morrow, and that the seignorage bill
will be passed without further delay.

PARIS, February. 2s.-A sensation
has been caused in the city and else
where by the appearance OF an
article in the Figaro In which
the Car of Russia, Princess
Marie d'Orleans, wife Of Prince Waldo
mar OF Denmark, Count de Beauchamp,
captain In the French army and
French military attachs At Copenhagen,
General Borius, Secretary General and
chief Of the military household OF Pres
ident Garnet and others play coaspicu-
Gus roles.
The revelations are associated with
the Franco Russian alliance and appear
to have been, generally speaking, the
result OF intriEues carried on behind the
backs Of the DepuY Ministry.
This not the first time thAF.tSa name
OF Princess Marie d'Orleans ms been
connected with court intrigues aed ex-
Minister Flourens does not scruple To
describe her as conscious artihcsr" OF
Prince Bismarck's downfall.
The Princess stands In great favor
with the Gar, both because of family re-
lations and the pleasure he takes In her
unconventional conversation and high
spirits.
Ths chief incident mentioned in con-
nsetion with tho revelations is the al
legged attempt TO obtain through the
Princess Marie D'OrlsRns an idea OF the
Cars real feeling on the scope OF the
FrGnco-Russian alliance.
Captain Bsauchamp is said to have
approached the Princess, telling her OF
the information which was required by
the French government or rather by
President CarnOt, and subsequently
handed four written questions to the
favorite Of the Car, asking the Princess
to try and obtain answers to them.
The first OF these questions was:
what does Russia expect OF France In
return for the friendship she Is mani
Testing towards her?" The second: "Do
you think the Gear considers himself
pledged towards France, at any rata %
far as the defensive IS concerned?"
Later, Captain Beauchamp wrote 10
the Princess saying that reply was
awaited at the Elysss Palace. Then, il
seems, II occurred 10 the Princess that
she could not allow the matter to pro-
cesd further without placing herself In
false position toward the
French government and consequently
she told the French Minister AZ Copsn-
hagen. Count D'Aunay. Mr.. J. d.
Pasteur, who was then Secretary Of the
French Legation AZ Copenhagen,
secured the questions. The Dupuy
cabfnat q few davs later came 10 Qriof
and when the present Ministry Was
formed. the French Minister to Dem
mark, Count D'Aunsy went TO Paris
aud delivered the documents to Premier
Casimer-P Perler, with the result already
told.
Captain Beaumont has been recalled
from Copenhagen and given a years
leave of absence. Count D'Aunay has
been dismissed from thsrtiplomatic SER
vice on suspicion that ne was the author
of the ssnsatioka publication in the
Figaro.
