Killed in Ear Of Orennn.

We are requested by Mrs. Curran c..
Smith, Of this city, end Mrs. G. A.
Lackey, OF Lancaster, to note the death
of J. w. Williams, in Asst 0ria, Oregon.
Deceased is a descendant of Archibald
Woods, a pioneer of Madison county,
and thereby related to the Smiths, Ca
portions, Goodies and others of this
city and county.
M. Williams was a man OF great in
telligence and personal popularity.
The county of which Astoria is the
county seat is one of the strongest Re
publican counties in the State. Mr..
Williams was a Democrat, but his per-
sonal popularity carried him through
to success in a race for the office of
Register of Deeis three years ago. At
the last election he was chosen Sheriff.
A few days ago Sheriff Williams was
called upon to make the arrest of a man
by the name of Willard, who had the
reputation of being one of the most
desperate characters in the State.
The residence Of State Senator Full
ton at Astoria had been robbed, and
circumstances pointed to Willard as the
guilty party. Sheriff Williams accom-
panied by two deputies and Senator
Fulton, proceeded to the house Of Will
lard to make the arrest. They met a
warm reception. As they entered the
house Willard opened fire on the posse
killing Williams and one Of the depu-
ties, and wounding the other. Senator
Fulton, who is said to be man of iron
nerve, was in the thickest of the affray.
The three men were shot down at his
side, but bullet from his revolver
killed the desperate.
Deceased leaves a mother and four
brothers, all Of whom reside at st. Jo-
seph, Mo. His mother resides at 27S5
Penn street, that city, to whom is ex-
tended the sympathy of many Ken
lucky friends.

WHY CHENAULT SHOULD WIN.

This section of our state has never
yet had proper representation in the
division of state offices, and unless we
are wide awake the next state govern
ment is likely to be unrepresented by
an official from this section. The only
chance we see to get in a candidate is to
pin our faith to John B. Chenault, of
Richmond, for auditor and fight for
him to the finish. The office is a most
important one to the tax payers of the
state, and in no section should the peo-
pie be so deeply interested in the selec-
ton OF cOmpetant man to fill the po-
sition as the people of the mountains.
The farmers of Eastern Kentucky, who
have in the past been Disseminated
against, owe it to their own interests to
see that the best man, and a man from
our end of the state, if possible, shall
be elected. Mr.. Chenault's experience
among the financiers of the state, the
fact that he is resident of the least
end" and his instructive devotion to
our interests especially commend him
to the consideration of the citizens OF
this section, and he ought to 90 to the
state convention with the solid vote of
every county east of Lexington. to say
the least. The way to win is to get the
start and keep it; or, as old John Har-
per used to say, run from eend to
eend." Mr.. Chenault now has the
start, and if his constituents will but
stick to him lie is bound to win, and
stick we must.-Hazel Green Herald.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only ole way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be ta-
ken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
strOYed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an ineamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.

The probable issues on which the
next national campaign will be con
tested, are thus set forth by Hon. J. NJ.
Head, member of the National Demo-
cratic Committee from Tennessee:
In my opinion no other name than
that of William Jennings Bryan will
be considered by the Tennessee Demo-
crazy, and its delegates to next national
convention will undoubtedly be in
structed to vote for him, no matter
what the issues of the campaign may
be. There will be several issues. fore
most among them being that of finan-
cial reform, beginning with the free
coinage of silver at ratio of l6 to 1,
and opposing banks of issue. Another
feature will be the question of opposi-
ton to government by injunction and
the encroachments OF the Federal iu-
dietary. The regulation aud control OF
trustsand monopolies, and, Unnecessary,
governmental ownership of them, will
be the issue Then there is the ques-
lion Of constitutional amendment ia
voring an income tax. and abolishine
all life tenure of office. There will
be raised the question of opposition to
the policy of converting war started
in the interest of humanity into a war
of conquest and to the acquisition of
territory not contiguous to our own and
absolutely unsuited TO our defense.
The military regulations of the so-called
heroes OF the skirmish with Spain,
wherein less than 300 men were killed
and more than $500 allowed TO die in
our own camps from neglect, will not
survive any very great length of time
to their credit. do not think the man
on horseback has yet made his appear

IT is a caution the way one Republi-
can editor with courage and conscience
goes for the administration. General
Forester, editor of the Louisville Free
Press, says:
I'm short we can gain nothing by
taking the Philippines: we are under nc
obligations TO take them: but McKin-
ley thinks it will cater to the popular
demand and make it easier for Mark
Hanna to get him renominated, so he is
willing 20 abandon policies and princi-
pies of a century of national success
and prosperity and launch the country
upon a treacherOus and untried ocean
of expansion, so that he may be ap-
plauded by the thoughtless rabble.
And so Mckinley who was so opposed
to expansion that six months ago he
wrote his fool message pledging this
country not to annex Cuba, is now
grabbing for sovereignty over worthless
possessions on the opposite side of the
world"
