Maharah's NIInsirels .

Every advance report that comes
in, speaks only in highest terms of
Mahara's Minstrels, who are to APP
pear at the Opera House, Friday,
Oct. %. The Mahara Brothers have
been before the public as managers
for many years, and they promise
this season to eclipse any of their eff
forts in the past, and if their program
is any criterion 10 go by, they have
kept their word, as some of the best
colored artists on the minstrel stage
are now travelling with them. Their
every endeavor has been to combine
all the stronger portions of the old
style of minstrelsy, with the latest
novelties. The musical parts of the
entertainment are handled by ar
lists, whose voices are more fitted for
the concert platform, while their
comedians will see that there is no
lack of fun. Among the names on
the program will be found that of
Billy Young, and Charles Cass, Com
edians; Leroy Bland, an impersona.
tor of female character, who out.
womans a woman, and Master Hill
lard Brewer. a contoltionist of unusual
merit. With two big bands they Of

tainment in itself. They will parade

NOT FOR EVERYTHING

But il you have kidney, liver OF
bladder trouble you will find Swamp
Root just the remedy you need.
People are not apt TO get anxious
about their health soon enough. If
you are mot quite we'll" or "hall
sick have you ever thought that
your kidneys may be the cause Of
your sickness9
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an un
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scauty supply, pain
or dull ache in the back is also con.
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder need doctoring

that the great remedy DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, fulfills every wish in
relieving weak or diseased kidneys
and all forms Of bladder and urinary
troubles Not only does Swamp.
Root give new lie and activity to the
kidneys-the cause of trouble, but by
treating the kidneys it acts as a tonic
for the entire constitution. If you
need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar, or by mention
ing the Hopkinsville Kentuckian and
sending your address to DIR. Kilmer
g. Co., Binghamton, N. Y. you may
have a sample bottle of this great
discovery sent to you free by mail.

The Franklin case.

Benton, KY, Oct The jury to day
found Noah Franklin guilty Of the
murder of Daisy Sullivan, and fixed
his punishment at the life imprison-
ment.
The crime for which franklin has
been convicted was a most atrocious
one Daisy Sullivan was a comedy
country girl, about seventeen years of
age, and lived with her parents and
two younger brothers hear Briens-
burg,in this (MarshalD county. She
had been seduced and in about two
weeks from the time of her death
would have become mother. The
murder thus proved a double one.
On the night of October 30, last,
about 9 o'clock, Daisy Sullivan was
murdered. The house in which the
Sullivan's lived was a double log
structure with an open hallway be-
tween. Daisy left the room where
her father and mother were sitting,
her brothers having gone coon hunt
ing, and started across the hall. a
shot rang out, and Daisy screamed.
Mrs. Sullivan begged her husband
not to go out, fearing he, too, would
be shot. In terror the husband and
wife crouched upon the floor to avoid
being seen from the window, await
ing the return of their sons. 1t was
over an hour before they came and
found their sister lying dead in a pool
of her own blood. Death had been
instantaneous. She had fallen upon a
vessel which she held in her hand,
and it was broken to pieces. NE
shot had evidently been fred from
behind clump of vines just outside
the house, and had hit the CIR. at
close range The charge entered
just above her heart, leaving a gap
ing wound
Suspicion first attached to her
father, about whom ugly rumors had
been circulated in connection with his
daughters ruin. Sullivan talked
very frankly about the matter, deny
ing both crimes attributed to him.
Then it was remembered that Noah
Franklin, young man of the neigh
borhood who had been paying some
attention to the girl, had been quite
active in an effort to have old man
Sullivan indicted by the grand jury
for incest This effort failed, and
then, it is claimed, franklin made
threats of killing both Sullivan and
the girl. Daisy had conided to her
mother that Franklin had accom-.
plished her ruin. 1t was found that
Franklin had bought five cents worth
of shot on the day of the killing, as
stated.
A warrant was sworn out for Frank
Inns arrest. On preliminary trial be-
fore the county Judge testimony about
the threats was not brought out, and
Franklin was discharged. Subse
quently the grand jury indicted him
for murder. The case was continued
over one term, and this continuance
was made an issue in the race for the
nomination for circuit Judge, result
ing in Judge Bishops defeat.
In the trial over 200 witnesses were
examined, and the case was bitterly
fought from the start to the finish.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures

rainfall of melted snow in inches and hundredths,
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid
lines, connect poin OF equal air pressure; iso-
therms, dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word high" means high barometric pressure and

Lows usually first appear on the Washington
