FRANKFORT, Oct 26.-The State
House Square presents very lonesome
appearance this week so far as the head
officials are concerned. Every officer,
with the exception of Superintendent
Davidson, is out in the State making
speeches for Gen. Taylor for Governor.
Even Gov. Bradley, who for the past
few months has kept the Republican
n(ninees guessing, consented to and has
been making speeches for their ticket.
A sensation in local politics was sprung
here this week when c. K. Wallace and
a colored politician named Todd made
application for a place under the log
cabin as candidates for the Legislature
Which will be given the place is not at
present known, but the unsuccessful petit
toner will undoubtedly make the race
on the Independent ticket. DR.. Wallace
is said to be Democrat and Todd life
long Republican.
The political pot is daily becoming in
danger of boiling over, and the last week
of the campaign promises to be the hot
test in the history of the State. Goebel,
Brown and Taylor leaders all claim VIC
tory, and only the counting of the bal
lots on November will decide the hard
est fought contest ever wsged for Gov
ernor in Kentucky.
The largest crowd since the street fair
greeted the Cook County Marching Club
here last week. The horseback parade
was one of this largest ever seen in Frank
fort, fully 200 men being in line
Speeches we're made by leading members

Dehoney and others. AS on Bryan day,
the rain fell in torrents, but did not
dampen the ardor of the admirers of
Senator Goebel.
Wednesday evening, September 10,
just as the shades Of evening were fall
ing and mother earth was being slowly
enveloped in mantle of darkness, evinc-
ing that another day had passed into his
tory, the soul of Miss Margaret Parker
winged its way heavenward to its eternal
reward. A little over a year ago the
dread disease consumption fastened its
merciless and relentless grip upon her.
only to be relaxed when the angel of
death claimed its victim. He life was
most beautiful and exemplary and she
was never so happy as when practicing
her holy and beautiful religion. She died
as she lived, happily attended by her
beloved pastor and fortified by the sacra-
ments of her church. Her last words
were family murmured prayer waited
to heaven for the eternal repose of her
soul. Her sorrowing brothers and sisters
should not grieve for her, as she has
gone to that place of eternal happiness
and celestial bliss that knows no sorrow,
pain or trouble, where all will be united
when the final summons comes for all
eternity. Her funeral took place from
the Church of the Good Shepherd Satur-
day morning, and Borrowing concourse
of friends followed the remains to their
last resting place in the beautiful Frank
fort cemetery. May her soul rest in
peace.
