Cloudburst Near Frankfort.

Louisville, KY, July Fl Ten lives
were lost and great havoc wrought to
property by cloudburst last night
and early this morning, which seems
to have vented its fury on Benson
creek in Franklin county, where two
houses were washed away and every
one of their occupants drowned. The
dead are:
James Bradley and two children;
bodies recovered.
Mrs. George Bryant and two child
rem; bodies recovered.
Unknown man; body recovered.
Mrs. James Bradley and two child
rem; one body not recovered.
While the rainfall within an area
of one hundred miles ranged from
2.5 to us inches, no further loss of
life is reported, though bridges are
down and communication from the
county seat to the outlying portions
is cut off.
In Louisville over five inches of
rain has fallen during the past
twenty-four hours, flooding cellars
and railroad tracks and breaking
huge sewers. The Louisville & Nash.
vile is the greatest sufferer, the
tracks which connect the Cincinnati

REV. SAM SMALL
TALKS FOR FREE COINAGE AT THE
COURT HOUSE.
The Court Room Filled to the Doors-Lls-
tened to For Nearly Three Hours
Many Converts.

Rev. Sam ". Small, who is spend.
ing the summer in the city. consented
to make free silver speech at the
Court House Tuesday night, and
although but few hours notice was
given the court room was packed un.
til there was not even standing room
when the speaker began his address
at o'clock.
1t would be hard to give a proper
notice of the speech in the short space
alluded to this article. Mr.. Small
spoke for nearly three hours
and one after another Of the go!dbug
fallacies were taken up and answered
to the satisfaction of the vast audi
ence. At times the applause was
deafening and great enthusiasm was
aroused.
TIE Speaker dwelt at some length
upon the ability of the United States
to manage its financial affairs indie
pendent Of foreign nations, and some
of the anecdotes he told to illustrate
the proposition were bran new and
were greatly enjoyed. He proved con-
clusively that this great and powerful
nation, with seventy millions of people
and seventy billions of property, with
Sl4 OF assets for every dollar it owes,
including all debts public and private,
is fully competentto manage its own
business independent Of all the world
He discussed the crime by which
silver was stricken down, and one half
the redemption money of the country
turned into mere credit money and
piled upon the slender supply of Dor
rowed gold, sending gold up to fic-
titious value and pressing down upon
the business of the country, destroy
ing one half the value of wheat and
commodities. He made this point so
clear that many Republicans showed
by their applause that they were con-
WINGED that the proper place for those
who have to work for living is in the
party of the people. Several promi-
nent Republicans have announced
their intention to renounce the party
that demands the preservation of the
existing gold standard, the cause Of
all the hard times, and will vote fcf
Bryan and Silver.
Mr.. Small pointed out the certain
benefits that would result from the
restoration of silver and predicted a
glorious triumph for the cause of the
common people,
Many gold Democrats we're changed
and the speech has done much to
unite the party in this county and to
divide the Republican party on the
great question of the day.

Shot OF His Is. Head.

Henry Blankenship, l4-year-old
colored boy, and son of Richard
Blankenship, of Julien, accidentally
killed himself late Monday evening
while out frog hunting. The boy, in
company with one of his sisters, had
gone to pond near by 90 shoot frogs.
While sitting on log the gun slipped
from his hands and in falling was
discharged. The entire load of shot
entered his head, tearing away the
top of his skull and scattering his
brains in every direction, causing in
slant death.

Wall Street Sharks Paving the Way for

Washington, July 2O.-The gold
reserve went below ninety millions to-
day. At the close of business the
figures were SS9,76l,336.
In the absence of the president and
Secretary Carlisle from Washington
no expression of opinion can be OBJ
tanned from them, but treasury off.
Gals who possess their confidence, do
not hesitate to say that there will be
no change in the attitude of the ad-
ministration toward the gold re-
serve, and that, if necessary to main
tain it, another bond issue will be
resorted to when the reserve reaches
the point when further action is rem.
dered imperative.
1t is generally believed there will
be an early issue of bonds.

Tom Watson and Fusion.

ATLANTA, (Ga }, Oct. 2-This weeks
issue Of Thomas E. Watson's Peoples
party paper contains an attack on
Marion Butler. chairman of the Pop
ullst National Committee, and is con-
sidered significant in viaw of the
rumor that Watson may retire from
the ticket. The editors remarks are
as follows. ..rns-- 49,.
attempts have been made to show
MIR. Watson favored fusion in the
State OF Indiana. This is not correct.
Watson took the position in the be-
ginning of the campaign that no Pop
ullst could consistently vote for
single Sewall elector any more than
he could vote for a Hobart elector.
He filed with Chairman Butler a
written protest against Buffers fusion
policy. Butler has ignored Watson's
protest and gone steadily forward on
his own line. Watson's position is
now what it was when the Georgia
State Convention met. He is for Il
straight middle of-the-road ticket. In
all cases the Democratic managers
refused to abide by the ST. Louis con-
tract. Mr.. Watson's position has
been humiliating and embarrassing.
ami he has been compelled to submit
to policies he did not approve.

And nothing unpleasant OF mean.

How strong in good words and good deeds,

How they will walk in paths that are narrow,
And never get cranky or "high.'

How parents will rise up and be blest,
What patterns they will BIO for all others,
For emulation and all of the rest
Or good things to look for in future,

TREND OF VAUDEVILLE.
Harry Morris, Prominent Come
dian, Says 1t Is Upward.
TIE PEOPLE DEMAND NOVELTY.

They Are No Longer Satisfied With tho
Old Style Perfunctory Series OF VARIETY
Sketches-The Evolution of the Burlesuue
Toward q Higher Plane.
1 have been asked to write something ON
tho trend of vaudeville, and gladly COM
ply because think that there Is great
deal to be said on tho subject Just now.
For many years the tendency of this once
supromoly popular form Of entertainment
has been downward. or late. however
there has been marked demand for some
thing better. The patrons of the variety
theaters are no longer satisfied with what
would have been considered q few years
ago an acceptable show. The perfunctory
series Of turns, technically denominated
the olio, has begun to pail upon the APP
petite of the regular habituee, for the rea-
son chat the vaudeville patron usually goes
to the current entertainment ut his favor
ito house every week, and before tho end Of
the season he will have seen everything
that Is worth viewing in vaudeville. Nat
urally, therefore, when the following cen
son he begins his weekly visits and is
again treated to the same specialties, that
tired feeling is apt to come over him to q
very great extent, and he will be more than
human IL he should not transfer his ale
glance to some other form Of entertain
ment.
AS to what hos brought about this un-
questionable demand for something new
in the vaudeville world, should say that
