Ticket in Kentucky.
He Refuses to Speak for Wat
Hardin.
BEATEN BY HARDIN.
He Was a Candidate When
Hardin Was Named.
Says Hardin Has Gone Back on
the Platform.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. go. - Cassius NJ.
Clay, Jr., of Paris, KY, who made the
race for the nomination for governor of
Kentucky with Gen. P. Wat Hardin,
the Democratic candidate, and who was
defeated in the convention by small
majority, is out today in letter to the
Democratic campaign committee refus-
irg TO speak in behalf of Hardin, the
free silver candidate, on sound money
platform.
He charges Hardin with repudiating
the Democratic conventions platform
and will not vote for him. He also states
in his letter that q change in the control
of affairs at Frankfort, the adjustment
of the state house ring, would be Of
great benefit to the state.
The card is not bitter in tone, but is
the plain statement of sound money
candidate who. objects to reputation of
the sound money platform by free sill =
yer candidate.

Here the small, brown creatures attack
the starch and sizing in the cloth bind
ings of the book and often cat the gilt
edges of books in their eagerness to
secure the albunen used therein. Nor
is it old books which attract them.
They are frequently found in fresh
packages sent from the biudery. And
this also proves that 1T is food and
warmth which they seek, and not dirt.
When Il family or q clan-for they
seem to arrive in clans-of crOton bugs
take possession of a kitchen sink it is
very difficult TO dislodge them. Their
peculiar hat bodies and their colnprcssi-
Bile skin enable them to slip easily into
the narrowest cracks. They are noe
turnal insects. coming out TO secure
food at night when the room is dc
serted.
Eternal vigilance and the continued
use of The boi-ax will keep them within
reasonable bounds. Both are neces-
sary, for too much cleanliness in the
preparation and care of food Is impossi
bic, and crotOn bugs are clearly of the
opinion that the world owes them
living,
The coellroach was an importation
from Asia to Europe, and this country
acquired it from the latter place. 1t
has been calculated that the first
Asiatic coclxroach set foot in England
four centuries ago.
They are among the most vivacious
and cornwall of insects. They are ex
tremely fond of beer, spirits, strip and
all sweet things. If you approach the
pantry where there is large gather
ing of them you will hear u noise like
heavy rain as they scamper away.
They show great ability in getting out
of sight.
They are remarkably impartial and
comprehensive in their diet. While
preferring the sweet things mentioned,
they cat all human food and also wooden
clothes, newspapers, backing, ink,
leather. emery paper, their own cast-oH
skins and their dead relations.
A naturalist of high reputation, Prof.
Mosely, of the Challenger, observed
considerable degree of intelligence in
the coekroach.
While on the ship he was continually
annoyed by a huge specimen which
visited him at night and slipped the
moisture from his face and lips, there
by rendering sleep difficult.
Whenever the man moved the cock
roach sped to bookshelf at the bot
tom of the bed. There he stood blink
ing his eyes and shaking his whiskers
derisively. When the other reached
for book or missile to throw at the
coclzroach he dropped to the floor and
disappeared. At last the man of sci
ence bethought him of the air-gun. and
Herewith shot his tormentor. The
cocl1roach was unfamiliar with this
weapon, and did not bulge when it was
aimed at him.

Wheat-Dead dull all through the

were possible, less outside business than
before. The market had firm opening
in the better Liverpool cables quoting

naturally quite surprise in view of the
limited gain in prices on this side since
yesterday. The shorts though were not
unduly alarmed over the foreign strength
ard there was no rush to cover by any
means. The buying was only desultory
and it would seem that the bulk of the
days trading was done in the first fifteen
minutes of the session because there
after u period of inertia set in continu-
ing to tire close of the days business.
The bears were not without several
forceful arguments. but the result of
their theories was not particularly profit
able. Minneapolis and Duluth had
the usual heavy run of wheat
and there was some northwestern
selling at the seaboard also in this mark.
eft. Near noon the Bradstreets report
showing the available wheat stocks to
have increased 100000 bushels found
the market around 603s cents, and on the
showing made declined to g. cents. but
very slowly The amount of wheat i'll
and atioat to Europe however decreased
about 250,00O bu. There was less talk
heard of dry weather in the winter wheat
region, in fact, some points in tina =
district reported showers. With the
breaking of the present drouth there is
no doubt but what a fall ef moisture
would be followed by a break in wheat
Corn-As to this market there is not
much to be said 1t was quite dull and
the trading limited, for all that the I'm
dercurrent for the great portion of the
day was one of steadiuess. On any bulges
corn should be sold.
Oats-Quie;, and as they are abnor-
mally low, it would appear that the pur-

slight recessions should prave profitable.

cholera which is not given credence is
the cause of the large receipts. Pork
looks like a good investment at these
prices and an upturn is bound to come

OTTAWA, Oct ga fair sized crowd
congregated yesterday to witness the
foot ball game betwet the home team
and the College of Emporia.
The game was exceedingly close and
exciting. and resulted in victory for
Ottawa by II score of to 4.
Great skill was displayed by both teams
throughout the game and notable fea-
ture of the contest was the lack of
wrangling between the clubs. The UNI
pire. of course. received some abuse.
In the first half Ottawa got the ball
and through the excellent runs of Chap
man and Page scored a'touchdown aud
goal in 10 minutes. Emporia then got
the ball and succeeded in making
touchdown, but failed 20 kick goal.
In the second half neither team scored.
Emporia took the ball into Ottawa's tsr-
ritory and came dangerously near the
line, but lost the ball. Ottawa by sharp
end runs had carried the pigskin into
the enemy's territory, and was in a fair
way to score when time was called.
This is probably the only inter colleg-
late game Ottawa will play this season.

a CURE FOR HEADACHE.

It Is Very simple, Costs Nothing and
Gives the Sufferer No Trouble.
"An excellent and never failing cure
for nervous headache said an apostle
of physical culture, sis the simple act
of walking backward. Just try it some
time if you have any doubt about it.
I have yet to meet any person who
didn't acknowledge its efficacy after a
trial. Nobody has as yet discovered or
formulated reason why such a proc
ess should bring cert in relief. Physi-
clans say it is probably because the re-
fiex action of the body brings about
reflex action of the BRAIN. and thus
drives away the pain that when pro-
duced by nervousness is the result OF
too much going forward. AS soon as
you begin to walk backward, however,
there comes a feeling of everything be-
ing reversed, and this is followed ry
relief The relief is always certain
and generally speedy. Ten minutes is
the longest I have ever found neces-
sary. An entry, or a long, narrow
room makes the best place for SUCH
promenade. You should walk very
slowly, letting the bali of your foot
touch the floor first and then heel, just
the way in fact, that one should, in
theory, walk forward, but which, in
practice, is so rarely done. Besides
curing nervous headache, there is no
better way to learn to walk well and
gracefully forward than the practice of
walking backward. A half hour OF it
once a day will do wonders toward I'M
proving the gait of any woman.

Household Pest with Comprehensive
and Ubiquitous Appetite.

A Household Pest with a Comprehensive
and Ubiquitous Appetite.
a very common l1ithen pest. hated by
the tidy housekeepcr, yet rarely to be
entirely exter1ninated, is the Ectobia
Germanica, whose family name is
Blattidae, which family belongs to the
order of Orthopetra:
But fine family names and lengthy
first ones do not always cover beauty
and agreeable habits. 1t seems almost
certain that if the distressed housewife,
who vainly sprinkles pulverized borax
and insect powder around the kitchen
sink, was informed of the claims of this
small brown bug to SO many imposing
Latin names, it would not move her
sympathies IN the least. With charm
ing incotisequence, she would probably
remark: $50 much the worse!" or,
st serves him right" and continue to
sprinkle her borax and insect powder
She is right The Ectobia Gcrmani-
ca Blattidae does not object to borax-
while it's fresh-but when he goes ne
says: ''Au revoir," and not: Good
by!" He goes to come again.
The croton bug, as his other name
denotes, is considered to have been
German importation to this country,
says the New York World. A smaller
specimen is called Ectobia Laponica,
because it is common in Lapland. The
largest species of this family is the
Battidae Orientalis, which is the COM
mon black cocl1roach. In other coun-
tries it is known as the black beetle.
Under any name, these insects are
most unpleasant nuisances. The black
coclzroaehes are extremely repulsive OBJ
jects, and the small, brown ''croton
bugs are unpleasing enough to force
one to any measures to get rid of them.
But it is not true, as some people sup
pose, that dirt alone attracts these in
sects or that careful cleanliness will
always keep them at distance. 1t is
not dirt they love, but dampness and
warmth. For this reason they infest
our water pipes, sinks and boilers, and
for the same reason cocl1roaches are
well-1nown torments on board ships,
and particularly around the boiler and
engine rooms.
For the same cause, and also on ac-
count of it's fondncss for wheat bread,
the "croton bug" is common in bake
shops, and bakers who are careful to
increase the size of their dough only
with legitimate materials must keep q
sharp lookout to restrict Mr. EctObia
Germanica to his proper place, which is
not in the currant cake.
Another place where the croton bug

In his remarks about the effects of the
storm and consequent reparation, Presi-
dent Taylor called attention to the pres

The part removed is like that destroyed
in appearance only In every point the
wall blown down has been replaced in
its proper thickness, not narrower than
that below as formerly. Long bolts
have been built into it by which the roof
is secured.
All beams shattered or loosened by
the storm have been replaced with larger
and stronger ones, and in many other
respects there have been improvements.
The structure now meets the approval of
the state board of public works and of
the board of regents. Captain Seaton

their option that the wing is fully as sale
