skirt daintily about an inch, directly I'm

greatest care lest the space between
gown and pavement should be more
than an inch, Our grandmothers
tripped daintily about in this way,
with the mlnclng gait that accompanied
the excessive modesty and fashions OF
those days.

princess gowns came into style IA lew

BILE and resolutio was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, On the night of January
3rd, last, Edmond Weaver, Allen Jones
and Abner Harris did wantonly, and
feloniously break into and rob the
store and Pest Office kept by our fell
tow citizen Mr.. Jas. T. QUITS Jr.
Whereas, These aforesaid PARTIES
after having been duly apprehended'
tried, and convicted Of the crime of
burglary and larceny at the recent
term Of court held at Edgefeld Court
House; and they having been sentenc-
ed by Judge Watts to three years i'm
prisonment at hard labor on the chain
gang; after having had fair Impair
tial trial before jury composed Of
twelve (12) worthy, representative
citizens, (the overwhelming prepon-
derance Of the evidence Enthusiastically
proving their guilt,) and
Whereas, Pending motion for
new trial besore the Supreme Court on
the flimsy pretext that some of the
panel of jurors were constitutionally
disqualified; and while under SEN
tence, they; Abner Harris and Allen
Jones, have by some "Hocuspocus,"
technicality, or subterfuge been bail
ed, and taken from the custody of the
Sheriff, and turned aioose on our COM

sembled, that we enter our solemn and
indignant protest against this palpa-

circumyented resultant from the

GOEBEL WAS FOR GOLD
Conspired Against the Free Silver Men in
1893.

There is more trouble for Mr. Goebel. the
democratic candidate for governor of Ken
lucky. One of the complaints made against
Goebel by those who are boiling the regu-
lar ticket. and reason why Bryan should
not take the stump for him. is that GoebeI
is not a silver man and has been in wicked
plots against the white metal.
A charge has been circulated that Goe-
bel sought and held a conference with
Mr.. John G. Carlisle at Washington In
1896 with the object of defeating the free
silver candidate and electing sound
money delegation to the Lexington con-
vention Of that year, with the view of kill
ing the free Silver. movement in Kentucky
in its infancy. Mr. Carlisle was credited
with the statement while in Washington
yesterday that there was no truth in the
charge made by the silver men, and that
his conference with Mr.. Goebel was on
another subject. i,
Mr.. Carlisle noYi utterly repudiates this
denial and asserts that as matter of fact
the conference fzH the purpose of defeat
ing free silver inskentucky did take place
at Washington between him and Mr.. Goebel
in 1896. and that ii was at the instance of
MI. GoeDei II II -
He said in q statement written by himself
before leaving Washington yesterday:
THE statements attributed to me con-
corning e6nferehce between Mr.. Goebel
and myself In this city in 1895 were not
made by me and are not correct. The
conference alluded to was sought by Mr..
Goebel. whose principal purpose. as he
stated to me, was to secure sound money
delegation from Kenton county to the state
convention which was to be held soon
thereafter at Lexington. I had no other
interest in the matter and took no action
s sucn as Mr; dZebel represented to
ton OF sound money delegation
Mr.. Bryan IS booked to take the stump
in Kentucky for Mr.. Goebel. and some ~
those democrats who have bo.ted Goebel
ana 90 not think that Bryan should assist
him give as one reason for Opposition that
Gosbel was an anti-silver man in 1895.
rms statement OF Mr.. Carlisle, who was
himself engaged in trying to save the dem.
ocratic party, from the silver element at
that time. u looked upon as likely to make
an impression on the Kentucky csnra;on
The question Is asked whether BRYAN. In
the tact OF this statement will still adhere
TO his discrimination to take the stumn for
Goebel, S A''
