PROSECUTING
Those Who Worked For the
County Ticket In 1897
Has Brought Many Democrats To
See The True Character of
the Common Enemy.

The exposure of the Republican
scheme to prosecute Democrats in
the Federal court on charges
trumped up for political effect ere
ated profound sensation when the
kENTucKIAN appeared on the
streets Tuesday.
The Republicans were caught
red-handed. They were hold.
ing a caucus to perfect their
schemes, examining alleged wit.
nesses and formulating new
charges, when the exposure came.
There was no denial possible. A
number of them admitted it and
gave details.
In 1897 the Democratic headquar
tiers were located in Howe's Hall.
They threaten to prosecute Mr.. ].
c. Duffy, who was one of the gen.
tlemen in charge of the headquar-
tiers part of the day.
Mr.. George Rives, of Casky; Mr..
Jno. G. Childress, of Palmyra dis
trict; Mr.. M. S. Major, of Herndon,
and Mr.. J. w. Riley, of Newstead, all
prominent farmers and citizens of
character and standing, are to be
charged with hiring negroes to
work for them on election day and
preventing them from voting.
Friends of these gentlemen, and
Democrats generally, are indig-
nant at this attempt to incite feder-
al prosecution of citizens on ac-
count of their politics.
Democrats are in possession of
facts that would imPlicate Repub-
licans in high places in some very
serious offenses against the State
laws. The Republicans made a
great flourish in 1897, after the
election, making alleged investiga-
lions, but the more they Investigate
ed the more the light was turned on
some of the investigators them
selves and soon the word was
around to "let bygones be
bygones.
The raking up of these old
charges was intended to intimidate
Democrats on the eve of the cleo
ton, but the premature explosion
has disconnected the conspirators
and Burchardized their ticket. !
some of the Brown Democrats were
on the ticket for the sup
bort OF which their fellow Demo-
rats are to be arraigned as GRIM
nails and they are unmeas-
lred in their condemnation. One
# the leading anti-Goebel Demo-
rats openly declared as soon
is he satified himself that the story
vas true that the persecution would

me the people of Hopkinsville are
rawing their own conclusion from
hat they see and hear.
There is some talk of asking
ldge Cook to empanel a special a
rand Jury to indict the Republi-
ms who are known to have bought
'tes outright in 1897. Two reput-
de Democrats are ready to testify =

Twenty-Five Years Constant Use With

The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a
sure sign of the approach of an at

peculiar rough cough. If Chamber

as the child becomes hoarse. or even
after the Groups cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is used
in many thousands of homes in this

III. COMEDY OF ERRORS.
(COncluded0
Notes on the STUDY of the Play.

l. This is Shakespeare's one farcical
play. Its sources of laughter lie almost
wholly in the situations and incidents,
hardly at all in the characters. The spec
tator is called on to accept much that is
improbable for the sake of mere fun and
Notwithstanding surprises. So cleverly,
however, are the incidents and persons
entangled and disentangled, so rapidly
does surprise follow surprise, that we
find no time to raise difficulties or offer
suggestions.
q The date Of the play cannot be ex-
actly determined, but it is certainly one
of Shakespeare very earliest Antipho-
lus Of Syracuse questioning Dromio about
the kitchen wench, who is so large and
round that she has been compared to a
globe, asks: I'm what part of her body

8. The subject of the comedy and much
of the plot are drawn from one of Plau-
tus dramas. Shakespeare transfers the
scene from Epidamnune to Ephesus, that
city which had an evil repute for it's
roguery, RIGHTEOUSNESS and magical prac-
tees. a city in which such errors might
be supposed to be the result of sorcery

Davis was introduced he received ringing
applause, and when he finished it was
some time before Mr.. Russ could secure

NOTORIOUS CROOK is
LANnED BEHIND BARS

Phil Kramer, a notorious crook, who is
also known as George Williams" and
"Frenchy," was arrested by Detectives
Dinan, Reynolds, Wren and Ed Gibson
yesterday afternoon and locked up in the
tanks at the California street police sta
ton. He will be formally charged with
burglary to-day. Kramer is suspected,
with a good deal of reason, of being the
perpetrator of numerous daylight burg
laries that have occurred in the Western
Addition during the last few weeks. In
at least two instances the police claim
the evidence against him is strong enough
to insure his conviction on a felony
charge
On Monday afternoon Kramer entered
the residence of Mrs. Gruhn, 1924 Bu-
chanan street. while the family was alb
sent and stole a lot of valuable jewelry.
After leaving the Gruhn house he entered
the residence of I. f. Ross I478 Ellis
street, where he secured several diamond
rings and other articles of jewelry. In
each instance the burglar effected an en-
trance by prying open window with a
jimmy The neishbors observed a strange
man lettering about during the afternoon,
and when the burglaries became known
they were able to describe him accurately
The description fit Kramer so closely that
the detectives detailed on the case by
Captain Bohen Immediately started on a
no trouble in making the arrest Kramer
has served time in both Folsom and San
Quentin.
Some of the stolen jewelry was found
on Kramer when he was searched at the
police station.

Judge Harris Gril1s Phelan.

Charles N. Harris, who says that he is
a Tree silver, Bryan Democrat, paid his
respects to Mayor Phelan and that branch
OF Democracy with which he affilates at
a meeting held last evening at Metropoli-
tan Temple. The speaker did not mince
words. He boldly asserted that the Mayor
was not Democrat and had taken ad-
vantage of his reputed fealty to the De-
mocracy TO betray it and deliver it over
to its enemies. He said in part: The
only thing that is worse than the avoWed
policy of the Republicanism of these days
is the cool treachery of pretended Demo-
Gratis. Fellow Democrats, see to it that
you put an end to traitorism next Tues
day. Save your schools from the bane of
the kind of politics which Mr.. Phelan rep
resents and embodies. Save this city from
irresponsible and reckless expenditures
for ornamental improvements. Save this
city from an inveterate contempt for
every advanced idea or declaration con-
tanned in the new charter. Save the city
from bossism infinitely more absolute,
vicious and intolerate than any which has
ever reared it's hydra head in the city of
San Francisco.
Perform these duties and hundred
fold more that could be named by voting
against the Phelanistic Examinerism
which is an unequivocal insult to society,
to public morals, to enlightened public con-
science, to clean Journalism, to clean
government, to genuine progress, to COM
mercial and industrial enterprise, to true
Democracy. and in general to that fair
fame of San Francisco which all good
citizens desire to create and uphold"
