Militia Will Be Called Out During Ballot
ing, After Unseating Begins

Frankfort, KY, February AFTER
consultation last night, between Gov.
Bradley, DR.. Hunter and other Repub-
licans.it was decided to call out the state
militia to be present during the balloting
for United States Senator, after the
unseating of members shall have begun.
This will certainly provoke trout BILE, per-
haps today.
AT the conference the Hunter managers
announced to the Governor that some
thing had to be done. Tt seemed certain
that when Representatives. Thompkins
and Kaufman were unseated the Demo-
cratic Senate would reJaliate instantly
and would not permit the unseated Re
publicans to go into the joint session,
the Democrats having the chief sergeant
alarms and door-keeper. They also
stated, that quite number of Senator
Blaokburn's friends were going to be
sworn in as deputies to help keep out the
unseated Republican members. This fur
nished the basis for the request for the
militia.

Be Coming Next.

Boston, February THE Herald re-
ports suspicious circumstances in connec-
tion with the deaf of Miss Annie Reed

ceiyed by her friends in Pennington that

telephone message that she was dying
sent from Rangeley by DR.. Gle in whose

he sent message that the girl was dead.
DIR. g. W. Ross of Rangeley signed the
certificate, stating the cause of death AS
Inflammation Of the brain. The body was
removed to Pennington and Coroner
Charles F. Dyer called upon DR.. J. "A.
Richards to make an examination. The
physician discovered that the girl had
been in trouble and found strong evil
dence that she had taken a powerful
drug.
The Herald says County Attorney
Richards has evidence thatssthe drug was
purchased of DR.. Ross by Mrs. Gle, and
that he knew for what it was to be used.
1t is also understood that there Is evidence
duplicating others. The author Of the
girls misfortune has been kept secret.
