For the unfortunates who lie awake,
staring at the ceiling and counting the
strokes of the clock, every sleeplcss night
is an eternity.
Mrs. j. A. Sample of 1858 Broadway,
New York city, was afflicted with in
somnia until her nerves were on the
verge of prostration. She thinks her
condition was due to indigestion. Here
is what Mrs. Sample says:
81 have used Paine's celery compound
with marked and decided benefit. 1t is
especially useful in insomnia, arising
from Indigestion and poorly nourished
nerves.
81 should add that my granddaughter,
Vera Haheigh, was so thin and puny at
the age of 10 as to cause us the greatest
anxiety. We had no difficulty in Undue
ing her to take Paine's celery compound.
Today the roses bloom in her cheeks, and
never saw healthier, stronger child
than Paine's celery compound has made
her"

Houston, March 15-(Special.) Hon.
David II. Bryant, judge Of the United

A STATEMENT BY BRADLEY.

Cincinnati, March ia special to the
Commercial Gazette, received at l:3O
this morning from Frankfort, KY, says:
Governor Bradley, in an interview at
midnight, in explanation said that the
officers of both houses had called on him
for protection and that he had called on
the mayor to give it. He learned after
wards from the sheriff that the mayors
police had been insufficient and had done
nothing to remove the disturbing element.
On Saturday, March IA, the presiding
officers of the two houses, along with
Others, had made affidavits that armed
desperadoes had inundated members OF
the legislature and that some of them
had assaulted senator and refused to
let him leave the chamber; that por-
ton of them, claiming to be deputies OF
the sergeant at arms of the joint assem-.
bly,, forcibly prevented, on the, 18th OF
March, the door-keeper of the house OF
representatives from doing ms duty:
They interfered with the proceedings of
the Joint assembly and permitted out
siders to continue their intimidation and
also permitted numerous other persons,
who were armed, to occupy the senate
chamber and cloak rooms OF the TWO
houses during the joint session aforesaid,
and that the said authorities were power
less, oyerawed and unwilling to act, and,
unless | interfere to protect the general
assembly, executive action would be pre-
vented, riots and bloodshed would fol-
low, and security of the lives of citizens
and officers of the commonwealth re-
1uired action on my part. Under these
circumstances 1 felt that l could not
allow such a state of things to continue
and called out the State guards.

THE KENTUCKY STATE HOUSE
SURROUNDED BY STATE
MILITIAMEN,
MEN BENT ON MISCHIEF ARRIVE.
All Trains Brought in Armed Men-Ru-
mored That the Blackburn Forces
Intended to Take Forcible Posses
F sion of the Capitol Today

Cincinnati, March 16.-The CONNER
cial-Gazette's 1890 a. m. special from
'Frankfort, KY, says:
Inc riot bell rang from the engine
houses at IL o'clock tonight and at the
same moment Governor Bradley ordered
out the militia. Ten minutes lated the
McCreary guards, 81 strong, Captain
Noel Gains, were in possession of the
State house and martial law was pro-
claimed. Until today Governor Bradley
had persstently refused to call out the
militia, though urged to do so by citizens,
irrespective of party.
The Blackburn leaders, he was inform
ed, had been preparing all day to take
forciblc possession of the State house to-
morrow. Threats were made that the
senate would arrest the governor tomor-
row for usurpation of authority in giving
the instructions he gave last night to the
sheriff of Franklin county to clear the
corridors and cloak rooms. All trains
today brought i'll reinforcements for the
men bent on mischief tomorrow. 1t was
only at the last moment, when the pres
once of these crowds presaged serious
danger, that the governor yielded to re-
pcated requests of orderly citizens of
both parties and called out the militia.
The sergeant-at-arms, SomerS, had
sworn in Jack Chinn, Jim Williams Eph
Lillard and other men as deputies. 1T
was also reported to the governor by num-
erous affidavits that armed men had been
collecting in the capitol for two or three
days with a view to taking charge of the
joint assembly on Monday. A COM
pany from Lexington and Louisville, 300
strong, will arrive early in the morning
General Collier is in command Guards
surround the State house and permit no
one but State officers, senators, represen-
tatives and others having a constitution
III right, to pass.
Senator Blackburn came into the gov
ernor's office and asked why he was de-
barred from the State house, who was
the peace officer of the State and why
the militia had been ordered out. He
then told the governor he could see af
fidavits that would be filed in the senate
tomorrow.
This evidently referred to an effort to
impeach Governor Bradley by the senate,
which has been threatened all day.
The excitement in the city is great and
the streets are full of people. No little
apprehension is felt. Six hundred arm
ed soldiers will be here in the morning
and it is hoped they will be able to pre-
serve peace.

prejudices would be to attempt to destroy
the equilibrium in which nature poised
her endowments; but he lived upon an
official plane too high for their exercise.
and the dormancy of these is but the
counterpart of the active traits which
shaped and modelled his character into
an orb of usefulness and eminence as Il
lawyer, statesman and citizen.
His qualities eminently fitted him for
the time and events of his administration,
during which the troubles alluded to and
the lawlessness Of the border have been
entirely suppressed. He administered
the affairs of the State with Il well deiin-
ed grasp and vigor. He was Il man who
cared little for exterior show or cere-
monious effect, and ut his second in
auguration his address. which he read
from small sheet of paper, was III dig
hified and modest contrast with the vain
display which modern usage has intro
luced into installment exercises. But

ment or more fidelity or forttude III

THE NEWS RECEIVED HERE.
When it became known here that Gov
crnor Ireland was dead, expressions c.

the many friends and acquaintance he
has here. There was some talk of hav-
ing the remains brought here for inter

ton about the matter could be obtained
yesterday or last night. 1t is highly
