BRONCHO GETS LEFT.
ANOTHER UNKNOWN FROM cRITTEN.
DEN COUNTY 5oBs UP.
Yandell and Yerkes Get Two Juicy Plums-
Our Major Crumbaugh still
In the Ring.

Washington, June 30.-The Presi-
dent sent to the Senate to-day the
names of I. j. Yandell and John W.
Yerkes for Collector in the Second
and Eighth districts of Kentucky, re.
spectively. The other Collectorship
appointments are expected TO follow
this week.
The Second District Collectorship
story wired yesterday, and reviewing
the deal by which Deboe, finding
himself unable to land Franks, had
sidetracked his first choice and in
dorsed another man, is confirmed by
the Senator to day in all details ex-
cept that instead of w. B. Yandell
his brother, T. j. Yandell, is the man
to get the place. The greatest effort
was made by those concerned yester.
day to keep the matter secret. Deboe,
Franks and w, 3. Yandell had en-
tered into an agreement to remain
quiet on the. subject until the APP
pointment was made, in the hope that
later on the situation might shift in
favor of Franks again. 1t has been
arranged that Franks shall be Yam
dell's Deputy Collector, and it is said
that whenever Franks disability shall
be removed the two are to exchange
places, Yandell resigning and Franks
going up head. Until such time
Franks will not suffer as to salary.
Mai. Crumbaugh has been having d
continental chat with the President,
Those on the inside nod wisely at the
stately Major aud says he has little
pull of his own, independent of any
faction. The President regards him
with favor on account of his past SER
vices, and it can be reliably stated
that Crumbaugh will get good
thing, probably paying better than a
collectorship, whether Deboe kicks OK
not. 1t will be one of the Presidents
personal appointments.
Senator Deboe is said to be 10 no
good humor over his pie harvest.
Roberts and Yerkes were White
House favorites, Sapp was forced on
him, and his on y real choice, Franks,
he was unable to land after a hard
fight. 1t took long decker with Lie
berth to get Comingore slated in the
Sixth. So in the Collectorships the
Senator has not much to congratulate
himself upon. But beyond this the
pension agency has been taken out Of
his hands by the Presidents selection
of Leslie Combs, at the instance of
Sam Roberts. Hunter seems frozen
out and the Senator's indorses for
foreign positions are seeing them
selves knocked out day by day.

Cayce against j. Wheeler Cayce di
vorce was granted the plaintiff in the
early part of this term of court and
she was given alimony and the care
and custody of her children.
In paper signed by j. Wheeler
Cayce of date May 70, 1897, among
other things he makes the following
statement in regard to his late wife,
Rebecca s. CaYce, which is here pub.
lished without comment:
ION the part of j. Wheeler Cayce,
he here and now retracts any and
every statement heretofore made by
him, derogatory to the character of
his said wife, the said Rebecca S
Cayce, and he now states that any
and every statement of that character
that has been made by him, was and
is untrue, and that he believes her to
be a chaste and virtuous woman, and
that she always deported herself as
such, and that he has never had any
reason to believe her otherwise than
chaste and virtuous."

The Presidents Grandson .

A most unusual suit was filed in
Circuit Clerk Young's office yester-
day. James x. Polk is the Plaintiff ,
and G. F. & L. P. Kleiderer the de-
PENDANTS. Damages in the sum Of
S. 900 are asked because the Messrs.
Kleiderer refused to allow Polk to
stop at the Hotel Henderson.
6. F. Kleiderer talked to Journal
man about the case last night. He
said.
"Polk made himself so objection
able about the hotel that we simply
and politely told him we did not want
his business any longer. He was in
the habit of loudly criticising every
thing and trying to make other guests
dissatisfied. Henderson Cleaner.

THE RACKET STOCK.
The Rouse Attachment Set Aside and Re-
ceiver Named


ceiver Named.
The trial of the Racket attachment
occupied two days of this week. On
Tuesday afternoon the court decided
that the attachment of G. B. Rouss
& Co., for $1,000, the first attachment
made, should be set aside and the
stock distributed pro rata among all
of the creditors alike. The temper
airy receiver, Sheriff Davis, was made
receiver and the sale will go ahead on
July z as advertised. The stock at.
tached was invoiced at $4,000 and
appraised at a little less than $4,000
The attachments amounted to S2S,00C
and the entire liabilies are supposed
to be $4,000. After the expenses of
winding up the stock are paid, it will
probably pay about SO cents on the
dollar.
There is some talk of a pool being
formed by the local merchants tc
buy the stock, to keep the summer
trade from being ruined by sacrifice
sale, if the stock is sold as a whole
The sheriff has received many inuui
ries about the sale next Wednesday
and the stock, which is new and
we'll assorted one, is expected tt
bring fair price.
