has proven to be deliberate effort
to detauch the voters OF Ohio. 1t ap-
pears from the testimony OF the witnesses
that both TAYLOR and Preyer met Maj jor
Dick at his office. and the major, with
that innocence that has characterized
everything he has ever done in a political
way, talked freely In the presence OF q
third party. He told both men that he
was actuated by selfish motives and
was working in the interest OF the Re-
publican party, and declared that the
nomination of PopuIist ticket would
help the Republican cause. He frankly
stated that he wanted such a ticket
nominated, and added, as MFR. TAYLOR
told the Committee which met ia ColuIn-
bus, that he was, willing to furnish the
means co run the campaign, establish
headquarters provide literature and speak
ers to reasonable extent for the Peo-
pies party, provided ticket was put in
the field; that he wanted them to go to
Columbus and use their Influence in the
nomination OF such q ticket, and all
that sort OF thing. Then Mr.. Taylor said
that when they got through this part
OF their talk she ma jor, with that innocence
which apepags to mark him, asked what
they needed. for their personal expenses
Mr. Peycr uH,detly stated that lie noesied
nothing for himself, tat that inaSusuch as
Mr.. Taylor wasnos-so wei situated what
ever that might ins4a nl, he might be able to
use a little znoney
Mr.. Taylor recited how the major gave
him check for S25 for his personal
expenses and three round-trip tickets
from Cleveland to Columbus and told
him of seven others he had purchased.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.


The recent Populist convention at Column
bus, Ohio, and its action In nominating all
independent Populist ticket, has stirred
up a pretty state of affairs. Charges OF
bribery and all sorts OF things are floating
about on account OF certain checks signed
by Secretary y-Dick, of the national commit
tee The Peoples party was compelled To
take cognizance of the affair, and COM
nittee was appointed to Investigate. a
whitew ash report was made Now comes
along the minority OF that investigating
committee, and that minority tells quite q
different story; all OF whicbis stirring Ohio
politics to the very bottom, and Raising
tronhle in the Republican party, and with
Mark Hanna and Charley Dick In particu-
lar
Among the witnesses CALLED by this corn
mittee was J. Il. TAYLOR, Populist dele
gate from Cuyahoga county. Mr.. Taylor
tells an interesting story which proves
Major Dick to be tyro in politics. Mr.,
TAYLOR said that he became convinced fron
what he heard that Major DICK and his
associates were cndeayoring to secure the
attendance at the Popuiist convention OF
persons opposed to fusion and that they
were spending large sums OF money to
accomplish that purpose. To prove his
suspicious MIR. Taylor sought an interview
with Major Dick at which interview the
major said it would be greatly to the ad
vantage of the Republican party and to
Mr. Hanna, in particular, ff the People S
party would nominate ticket; that he
was willing to do all he could to induce
the members OF that party to nominate
such a ticket and that he would furnish
money to be expended for that purpose
and was desirous OF securing an inter
view with Mr.. Hugo Preyer, prominent
and influential member OF the party. Mr.,
Taylor said that MAJOR Dick requested
that he arrange an interview with Preyer.
Major Dick intimating that Mr. Preyer' s
services would be a very good thing to
have for the Republican machine in Ohio.
Instead OF keeping the appointment Major
Dick caine back to Washington, but when
he returned to Cleveland, at the suggestion
of Mr.. Taylor, the major indited note
to Mr.. PreyPr asking for an interview ard
naming the hours when he could be seen.

A teachers and commercial
course are distinctive features.
Three literary societies are
maintained-the "Amphian, " for
young ladies'; the "Philomathian"
and "Euphemian," for young
men. They have military drill
for the physical training of the
pupils, and all cadets are obliged
to participate, unless excused
for some especial reason.
The college enjoys a frst-class
reputation from an educational
and sanitary standpoint, and it's
present directors intend to keep
the school up to the highest stan
dard of excellence.
Prof. Sam'l. Shanklin Woolwine
was but recently elected Presi-

Prof. A. c. Kuykendall, secre-
tary and treasurer of the college,
has been for five years identified
with the institution, and is so
we'll and favorably known that
comment Is unnecessary. The
present excel mt standing of the
school is, in no small degree, due
to his official work. He is Pro

of Art in the school, and has the
direct supervision of the boys

fact that this house sells more
tobacco received direct from the
producers of this section than
any other house in the market.
He makes a speciality of hand

with them in the most liberal and
lust manner. He has a corps of
efficient men to assist him, who
are perfectly familiar with the
trade and good judges of to-
baCCO.
Mr.. Alternately does a strictly
commission business. His judg-
ment in selling the weed is un-
surpassed, and by his untirln g

second to none in this section.
He employs twenty-three men
in the transaction of his bust
ness. He owns and operates
two warehouses, which have a
capacity of 5000 hogsheads per
year. Identified, as he has been,
with the tobacco trade since 1870,
his knowledge of the weed and
all it's business details, reaches
from the planters here to the
consumers across the seas. Mr..
Abernathy enjoys generous
share of social as well as COM

Commissioner of the State Insane

HIGGINS & COMPANY,
CIGAR FACTORY.
"SingIe Standard" and "GOld
Standard" Tobacco Ex-
change"
SPECIAL FIVE AND TEN CENT BRANDS!

William Makepiece Thackery,
the noted novelist, pays tribute
to tobacco in the following elo-
quent words: "The cigar har-
monies society, and soothes at
once the speaker and the subject
whereon he COnverseS. | have
no doubt it is from the habit of
smoking that the Turks and
American Indians are such mon
strous well-bred men. The pipe
draws wisdom from the lips of
the philosopher, and shuts up
the mouths of the foolish; it gen.
crates a style of conversation
contemplative, thoughtful, be-
nevolent and unaffected; in fact,
l may as well cut with it, | am
smoker myself. | VOW and be-
lieve my cigar or pipe has been
one of the greatest comforts of
my life, a kind companion, an
amiable anodyne, a cementer of
friendship" What more beauti-
full tribute could there be, and
from one so noted? The Hig-
gins & Co.'S Cigar Factory is one
of the many of the country which
supplies the article which brings
such sOlace and comfort to the
greater share of men!
A manufacturing enterprise
always speaks for the stability
and prosperity of a city more
than any other branch of bust
ness. The Higgins g. Co.'s
Cigar Factory has contributed
much to that end, and has given
employment t. six skilled cigar
makers. There is nothing that
conduces to the happiness and
comfort of a smoker more than
a good handmade and honest
stock cigar. TO get such goods
made of clean stock and in a
wOrkmanlike manner, it is neces-
sary to patronize a local manu-
| faCturer of character and standI
ing, and, at the same, time en-
courage home industry.
The Higgins & Co.'S Factory make
speciality of manufacturing the
higher grades of cigars in this sec
ton, and have several brands that
have achieved more than a local rep
utation, namely: The Single Stan
dard" and "G0ld Standard, two very
fine SC cigars, and an excellent l0c
cigar, Tobacco Exchange" The
writer can, personally, attest the
quality of the latter brand. The
cigars are noted for their standard
and high excellence. Their trade is
large, extending over radius of 40
miles No statesmen are employed,
as the goods sell strictly on their
merit. 1t is a noticeable fact that
wherever the cigars of the Higgins
& Co.'s Factory are sold, a demand is
created, aud the dealer is compelled
to hand e its goods.
The factory is, at once, boon and
a commercial prop to the city of Hop
kInsvile.

made of the same, than in refer
ring to the above concern.
Here, in this city, at the above
place, can be secured the very
best work at reasonable prices.
The laundry is owned and op-
Grated by Mr.. II. L. Metcalfe,
and is a very extensive concern,
employing fifty people, and the
hum of it's machinery is heard
far into the night. They turn
out, daily, immense quantities of
work, and their wagons are kept
busy delivering the laundried
goods to all parts of the city.
Their work always gives salts
faction. and "the wear and tear"
upon clothes-a cry often heard
against steam laundries-is here
obviated, and the closest atten-
ton is given to all interests of
the patrons by this enterprising
manager.
All kinds of laundry work is
done in this house-shirts, col
lars and cuffs are here prepared
in a manner to meet and satisfy
the demands and tastes of the
most fastidious.
Mr.. Metcalfe established his

HISTORY.
The college issued it's first cat
alogue in 1880, and with the cx-
ception of a partial suspension in
1862, on account of military oc-
cupancy, and again in 1884, be-
cause of destruction by fire, it
has been in continued successful
operation since 1S49, maintaining
an extended course of study and
an elevated standard of scholar
ship. The original design of it's
founders was to establish a
school which was at once Chris
tian in all it's tendencies, while
still undenominational. It's aim
is to educate morally as well as
mentally, recognizing TIE fact
that the purpose of all education
is to develop the moral nature,
elevate the standard of right and
enlarge our conceptions of the
proper relations of God and man.

laundry some ten years ago on a
much smaller scale; and through
ia close application to a
growing and important bust
ness, and well-direCted efforts to
please the public his business
has reached it's immense proper
tons to-day. All modern appli-
ances, the most approved ma
chinery, everything to facilitate
dispatch and perfect work, are
here in use. The laundry, in
Guiding it's excellent system of
collection and delivery, is metro
politan in every respect. Agen-
cies have been established
throughout all this surrounding
section, and his trade enters
three states--Kentuckv, Ten
nessee and Alabama. Mr.. Met
calfe has an excellent and profita-
bic branch laundry in Bowling
Green, Ky. His house has a
reputation throughout this whole
southern section for superior and
satisfactory work. In the same
building wherein are conducted
the laundry and dye works, are
arranged the finest bathrooms
in the city-a boon, indeed. to
tlose in HOpkinsville without
such home comforts.
DYE WORKS.
There is no enterprise more
valuable to mankind than that
which contributes to economy.
The above is surely one-where
clothing and many other articles
can be dyed; restoring, too, if de-
sired, their original color, and
making them look like new. ANY
work placed in the hands of Mr..
Metcalfe will receive prompt and
satisfactory attention, and be
done at prices to suit the purses
of all.
THE WEEKLY INDEPENDENT.
Mr.. Metcalfe is also the genial
and popular proprietor of The
Weekly Independent" a bright,
chatty, and interesting news
