His body reached here on Friday
and a vast concourse OF friends fol-

The funeral service was held in the
Baptist church, conducted by Rev.

knights of Pythias took charge of the
ceremonies and laid their brother

at the Methodist Church last Monday
week will continue this week: meet
ings 2 30 in the afternoon and 7 80 in
the evening. Sixteen persons have
been received into the church. Rev.
j, o. Vaught, of Versailles, is doing
the preaching. Mr.. Vaught is an at

work. The large auditorium of the
Methodist Church is filled at each

holds them spell-bound as he delivers
in tenderness and love the beauties
and comforts of the Christian faith.
Intense interest prevades the entire
congregation and great results are
looked for.

u. S. Commissioners Court

At the examining trial of Eu-
gene Brown, of Preston, KY, before
L. F. Rogers, U. S. Commissioner,
last week, Brown was discharged,
but the fact was disclosed by proof
that a volunteer witness was testi-
flying falsely in order to obtain wit
ness fees. Commissioner Rogers
promptly issued a warrant for the
individual, Davis Turner by name,
charging him with not only per-
jury, but fraudulently obtaining
witness fees. He was held for
Covington Court. This is warn

Death Of B. P. Robinson.

Benjamin f. Robinson died at
Trinidad, Colorado, Tuesday, March
81, 1896, aged 40 years. For several
years Mr.. Robinson has been in failing
health but his energy kept him on his
feet and about his ordinary business
till about two months since. It be-
came apparent that he must seek In
another climate his lost health and
strength, and on Saturday before his
death, accompanied bv his friend and
brother-in-law, DIR. w. r. Thompson,
he started for New Mexico. He was
apparently doing we'll on the trip till
he reached Trinidad, when the end
came without seconds warning. Mr..
Robinson was one of those genial
lovable men that gather to themselves
friends from every side. He went
about bringing the sunshine of his
presence into his every day business
and making this rough, work-a-day
world of ours the brighter and more
pleasant for his being in it. Many
friends mourn his departure, and few
men in the community will be more
sincere missed than he.
He was married October, 1888, to
Miss Jennie Reed, who with three
bright little girls, Stella Love, Garnett
Reed and Emily, survive him. Ben
Robinson was a friend to all men and
against him we have never, in the

A Letter From the Great Demo
crat Stating His Willingness
TO ACCEPT A NOMINATION

Washington, April 5--The follow
ing yesterday:
Treasury Department, Office of the
Secretary, Washington, April A, '96.-
Charles RI Long. Esq, Chairman
Democratic State Democratic Central
Committee, Louisville, Kv.-My Dear
Sir: Your favor of March 30, in
which you say, in substance, that
many of my friends in Kentucky and
elsewhere desire me to become can
didate before the approaching Nation-
al Democratic Convention for nominal
ton for the office of President, and re-
questing me to give some authority or
definite expression upon the subject,
was duly received, and has been ma
turely considered.
"Many communications upon the
same subject and of similar import
have been received from friends in
different parts of the country, and
while very grateful tor these numer-
GUS expressions of confidence and es-
TEEN upon the part of my Democratic
fellow citizens, have not been able
to reach the conclusion that the con.
ditions require me to comply with
their requests by authorizing them to
announce me as candidate for the
presidential nomination.
While l feel profound in
terest in the welfare of my party,
[ am much more concerned about
its declaration of principles than in its
selection of candidates, because, in
my opinion, its failure or SUCCESS at
the election, as well as its capacity for
useful service to the country in the
future depends upon the position it
takes or omita to take upon the public
questions now engaging the attention
of the people, and especially the ques-
lions affecting the monetary system of
the country and the character and
amount of taxation to be imposed
upon our citizens. It's position upon
these and other subjects having been
agreed upon, and clearly and distinct
ly announced, the convention ought to
have no difficulty in selecting an &C
ceptable candidate who will fairly
represent its views; and, in order that
it's deliberations may be embarrassed
as little as possible by the contention
of rival aspirants and their friends, l
think my duty to the party will he
best performed by declining to partic-
ipate in contest for the nomination
"The obligations assumed when l
accepted my present official position
require me to devote my entire time
and attention to the public interests
committed to my charge, and l shall
continue TO discharge the duties i'm
posed upon me to the best of my
ability and in such manner as will in
my judgment most certainly promote
the true interests of the country; and

WHEAT WEAK YESTERDAY.
A Lower Liverpool Market and Larkely
Increased Crop Estimates Cause
a Decline.

Chicago, october Wheat today was
weak from the start and remained so
practically all day. although there were
occasional good rallies. The trend of
the sentiment and current was against
higher prices. Business was slow and
narrow and there was a disposition to
get rid of long wheat, The Liverpool
cable was a surprise, as notwithstand-
ing our advance in the market yester-
day, that market opened lower and
seemed disposed to be independent of US.
This was the first encouragement the
bulls got. but 1t was followed by big
deliveries in the northwest which were
considerably in excess OF those of last
year.
Another depressing factor was the at
titude of Cudahy, who has been until
quite recently the backbone and chief
strength Of the bull movement His ag-
gregate sales must have run into the
during the past week. The
market took this very well, until today
The almost entire absence of encourag-
ing news, coupled with this heavy SELL
ing created some apprehension and
helped materially TO weaken prices. Re
ports that the forthcoming government
crop report win raise the estimate of
the wheat crop from 4O5, 200, 900 bushels,
last months estimate to 425.OOO, 900
bushels, was also factor in the deep
ening depression.

A WILSON TARIFF VICTIM.
The Albany Woolen Mills in the Hands
Of Receiver

Albany, Or, October IA receiver
was appointed for the Albany Woolen
Mills this morning upon the complaint
in Judge Hewitt's court. The plaintiffs
are ], NJ. Meyer, l.. d. Cole, E. D. Moy-
er, Mrs. F, F. Craft, owners Of ninety
six shares of stock in the Albany Wool
en- Mills Company, of the value Of
$4,000 and constitute the whole board of
directors. The Indebtedness of the
mill is given as $4,000 and the value
Of the entire property, mill, goods notes,
accounts, etc, $4,000. The complaint
states that owing to the scarcity of
money and the great depreciation in the
market value Of properties, the defend
ant has not been able to secure funds
to meet the indebtedness of the COM
pany; that large amount of goods are
in process of manufacture, therefore
the appointment of a receiver of the
property is asked for. L. Finn was
appointed receiver.
The present action was preclpitated
by an attachment of the property of ].
NJ. Meyer & Co., of Portland, for $4,000
by the eastern firm of Lowenstey & Co,
of Chicago. Application will be made
to Judge Hewitt by the receiver for an
order to run the mill until the stock
