reckless extravaganza in public affairs:
for its cruel and inhumsn neglect in
it's treatment of our soldiers and sail

sWe call attention to the incom-
potency of the present Republican
administration il Kentucky, the
abuses and scandals in the manage

we commend the wisdom of the last
General Assembly Of Kentucky in
the enactment Ct laws which secure
the wise and economical, administra-

I'VE believe that trust is the result,
in large measure, of tie policies
adopted and pursued by the Rspub-

cemonetization OF silver, By which the
volume of currency has been kept be-
low the demands of business, and the
enactment and enforcement Of vicious,
unwise and unpatriotic legisla-
tior, such as the protective tariff
laws, known as the Mckinley and
D;ngley bills, whereby there .s a dis
elimination in favor of corporate
wealth and against individual enter

A Monster Moose.

From the Anaconda Standard
The biggest, most magnificent and most
beautiful moose head that has ever been
shown in Anaconda is now hung upon the
walls of the Montana Hotel. 1t is moose
head that SO far eclipses the ordinary
heads that comparisons become out of the
question. This moose head was received
yesterday by George W. Reynolds, man
aSer OF the hotel, and it Is truly a wonder.
One cannot grasp the magnitude of the
taX1dermc specimen without seeing IT. The
head measures 55la inches from the tip of
one prong to the tip of the opposite prong.
The palm measures 141a inches, and there
are fifteen prongs on either palm The
head weighs 270 pounds, and it is estimated
that when the animal was alive it weighed
1000 pounds. The "belr is nearly three
feet long, and is as big as human leg.
The moose was killed in the Big Hole coun-
try, and is probably, the largest animal
that was ever seen in, Montana. Vic Smith,
the famous hunter, said yesterday that he
had never seen a moose whose head was
so large as the one Ehichohangs upon the
walls Of the Montanas sretunda. And Vic
smith ought to knox. Mr.. Reynolds is
very proud of this new acquisition to his
already large collection When asked yes
terday how much t'such thing was
worth" he replied: III wouldn't sell that
head for less than $1,000. If even that
amount would tempt me to dispose of it.

the hospital
There has been no death from the dis
ease since the present outbreak, and all
the patients at the hospital are doing 50
well that their complete recovery seems
assured OF the thirty-One patients taken
to the hospital, but one of them. a woman
of about fifty years of age, had been sue
cessfully vaccinated previous to the deyei-
opnent of the disease. She was vaccinated
in her early childhood. This, DIR. Wm. c.

lieveS, shows the desira bility and impor-
tance of successful vaccination.

lean military occupation of Cuba would last,
said:
Il have talked with the American gen.

truly convinced that there is no doubt what
ever that the United States will Loyalty
keep its promise and that Cuba will be free

recognize the fact that such a radical

rapidly they desire
1t is understood in Havana that the mill
tary authorities have requested Washing

to be distributed among the Cuban troops
The details of the conference cannot be
made public in the United States just yet,
because their repetition to Cuba by cable
might create local feeling and render more
difficult the work in hand. 1t is expected
however, that The Cubans will not recognize
