HON THOS PETIT AT BRAN
DENBURG.

The Hon. ThOs. Petit, Of OWensboro,
spoke at Brandenburg last Monday in
the interest Of Goebel. Il was the FIRST
day Of Circuit Court and Mr.. Petit was
reeted with a large audience and the
usual enthusiasm He was unfortunate,
however, in that he broke down before
be was half through with his speech.

he had been up the night before with a
sick niece and had not slept a wink and
attributed his weakness to this. He

beech but failed.
Mr.. Petit is q Ans speaker, he can tell

told Monday was a rehssh Of a Popu-
speech he delivered there four years
go He said IL was the same speech
WEB not a sentence changed.
Pettirs speech was all right from
ID standpoint We have no quarrel to
make with him. They are his views and
9 accord to him the right 10 advocate
them and speak for them.
The quarrel we have TO make with
Mr.. Petit is on the school book ques-
ton. The statements he makes in re-
gard to the price and quality Of the
books are misleading. In fact they are
not true and Mr.. Petit either knows it
or is trying to deceive the people for the
purpose Of catching their votes.
Mr.. Petit carries around with him
two United States histories. He holds
them up before his audience and says,
"Here, gentlemen, are two books identi-
cally the same, published by the same
house, etc. Over in Indiana just across
the river, the publishers sell the book
for IS cents and here in Kentucky they
make MS pay 81, The former statement

It is. tits all a political trick to de-

THE Hawesville Plaindealer suggests
to the Commercial Club Of Louisville
that that city should now use the coal to
be found in less than one hundred miles
of home instead of going to Pittsburg for
it. A hint to the wise ought to be SUI
Rcient, but doubtless no attention will
be paid to jeff Sterrett's suggestion, not
withstanding the fact that the very best
coal in the State is to be found in Han
cock county. But they will deal with
the coal precisely as they did with the
Breckenridge asphalt. They will not
use 1t if it can be had elsewhere.

CRAZY KANSAN ABROAD.
Ness County Man Waiting In Rome
For End of the World

Charles Ramsey, of Topeka. the Twen-
tics Kansas globe trOtter, reached two
conclusions on his trip; that the world is
round and that the Kansas crank is
found in every country the world.
W lille in Rome Ramsey met long hair
worked his arm up and down like pump
handle as soon as he saw the badge of
the Twentieth Kansas he was wearing.
The man gave his name as G. H. Curtis,
from Utica Ness county, Kansas He
said he was hungry and Ramsey SAYS he
looked it. Ramsey took him into res
taurant and gave him a meal. The man
ate four francs worth. He told Ramsey
that the world was coming to an end
soon and that he was in Rome ready for
the ending. He gave Ramsey a copy Of
a circular he had printed in Rome. The
following is verbatim from the circular.
In the winter of 1885 the spirit told me

gospel, to perform all miricals to eStab-
fish a church for God and Christ the

The rest of the circular is in the same
vein. In one part of the circular he SAYS
owed for 20 years and he paid him so as
to be ready when the summons came. He
was arrested and sent to the Independ-
ence asylum as an insane man. The Ro-
mans are undoubtedly able to read the
circular intelligently as anyone else.

LAST EXPIRING GASP.
Kansas L. A. w. Is In It's Death
ThrOes.

The Kansas division of the League of
American Wheelmen is about ready to
go out of business
In 1885 the Kansas division was cred
tied with 500 active members. Now the
division has but 100 members. All in
terest in the organization is dead. The
race meets given last year were fail
ures, financially. Only one town has
kept up the interest in bicycle racing
and that is Salina where d number of
successful local racing men live. The
annual meet should have taken place
this fall and at the same time the an
nual meeting of the officers and dele
gates. The officers found it impossible
to stir up interest enough and the race
meet was abandoned. The state bust
ness meeting was not held because the
division is in debt and could not pay
the expenses of delegates. At the bus
ness meeting candidates for the several
offices should have been nominated and
the election, by a mail vote, held be-
tween October Is and November 10.
The election has not been held. Chief
Consul ]. B. DOncysOn, of Topeka, will
resign and Vice Consul H. E. Best, of
Council Grove, will be in line to sue

a million and into a family celebrated
for its ostentatOus display of wealth,
the need of a home for Dewey, the
grandest character of Manila, would
have been dissipated.
That the McLeans expected Dewey
to become a member of their household
was exhibited in the circumstance that
a poll parrot had been trained to re-
peat the admiraIs name. Poll par
rots are not taught to speak in a short
While.
THE HOME TRANSFERS.
When the storm broke in the form of
Dewey did not defy public criticism
and maintain his right to do as he
pleased with his own. His first act
was to stop the paper printing most OF
the criticisms against him, perhaps to
keep the unpleasant sayings from his
wife. Then he took counsel and agreed
on the programme of transfer which
lifted Mrs. Dewey out OF the problem
except as a generous benefactOr of the
admiral's son. This would have ended
the affair had not the admiral hySteri
caIly unbOsomed himself to the first
newspaper men that he had cOndescend-
ed to receive. In his statement he prac-
tically contradicted the statement of
his brOther-in-laW, John R. Mclean, by
insisting that it was the custom where
homes are owned and occupied by
American families that they should
stand in the name of the wife. The
admiral wanted to know why he could

American gentlemen, and he depOunced
the contributors to the fund which
purchased his home, alleging that they
had tied a string to it.
All the incidents of the Dewey home
episode have been of the most painful
character, and there is a feeling that
the admiral would better be let alone
hereafter There is pity for him in his
modification which has not concealed
tears to visitors, and as the property
is now in the hands of DeWey'S legiti-
mate heir, it is thought the sooner the
affair is forgotten the better it will be
for all concerned.
