PLAY ON THE GOLF LINKS
Many Players Appear on the Course
and Beginners Are Making
Good Progress.

The bad weather on Thanksgiving day and
| the following Saturday prevented the mem
bers of the KountZe Place Golf club from
playing, but during last week a number oi
the members have taken advantage of the
beautiful days and have INDUCED in qul c
little practice
The beginners have already acquired the
regulation swing of the driver and are show
ing marked progress, while some Of the old
time golfers are fast resumng their old
form.
The new players should not be discouraged
IL they cannot drive the ball 200 yards at
first trial, remembering always that patience
and perseverance overcometh many Difficult
ties. To a novice it is not so much the
length of a drive as the manner and style
of the stroke and the precision with which
the ball is struck that should be desired
the length will come in due time. Three inn
portant injunctions are to be remembered:
Keep your eye on the ball, slow back and
don't press
Much has been written as to how to be-
come proficient at the game and much can
be read by those desiring to become experts.
Much more can be accomplished however,
by careful coaching OF the beginner by one
who knows the game and has been through
the MILL" Different players may have diff
ferent mannerisms, but all good players
have as foundation the same unalterable
principles from which expert golfers spring,
Mannersms and all complex handling of the
clubs should be avoided and style adopted
that is simple. easy and graceful, and good
results are bound to accrue in time.
In imparting advice TO beginners an old
local player says: "Neyer make an excuse

to disturb your equilibrium or

POPUL!STS ENDORSE ALLEN
Committee Appointed to Present His
Claims to Govcrnor-FinancinI
management Endorsed.

The scheme to endorse G. NJ Hitchcock's
candidacy for United States senator did not
quite carry before the populist county CEN
tral committee last night. About twenty
populsts were in attendance at the rooms
of the Peter Cooper club when NJ. j. O'Con-
nell sprung a verbal motion for the en-
dorsement of Hitchcock. A. w. Tidd moved
that the name of w V. Allen be substituted
and later V. E. Wilson submitted the fol-
lowing which was ultimately adopted after
nearly three hours had been spent in pas
sionato discussion behind closed doors
Hon w. A. Poynter, Governor of Ne
braska Lincoln Neb-Dear Sir The duty
of appointing a successor to the late Sem
ator NJ. l.. Hayward having devolved upon
you, we beg to endorse for your considera-
ton in making such appointment Hon. w.
" Allen of Madison county, for the fol-
lowing reasons, to-wit:
He is -eminently fitted by nature,
culture and experience to discharge the
duties Of said position
He can resume the work so ably and eff
fectively conducted by him during the six
years ending with the last session of con-
grese as though no intermssion had oc-
CURED in his term of office.
Tho magnificent record achieved by him
while in the senate, resulting in great good,
LO' Ouly W lulS SIdle, DuJ 10 tHe udllOH as
well, entities him as a matter of popular
approval to a return to that body.
If the election of United States senators
had been by popular vote, as is now we'll
nigh universally desired, he would have
been elected at the election OF 1898 by
handsome majority and therefore he has a
moral right to the office for which he was
defeated by the formalities of procedure
His acknowledged position as chief leader
OF the populist party in the nation and the
influence for good that he exercised upon
the reform forces in general by reason of
such distinction entitle him to the office,
that such influence be not impaired, perhaps
destroyed
A committee comprising V. e. Wilson, e.
T. Morearty, j. NJ. Kinney and George
Raworth was appointed to communicate the
wishes of the committee to the governor.
On the vote substituting Aliens name for
twenty members present voted and the vote
stood seven to five.
The auditing committee reported on the
finances during the recent campaign and the
report was approved. 1t showed that the
and treasurer had been charging
SIS each per week for their services during
tho campaign and that Chairman Kinney
had eXacted $25 for his services. 1t de-
veloped that there is SAL of t.5 money still
coming to the secretary and s21 to the treas
urer, with money in sight to pay both. The
and treasurer had never before
been allowed pay.

TOO LATE ron COMMISSIONERS.
Court of Appeals Decision Sets Pre-
cnhcnt for Cnntest Mnnrh.


ccdcnt for Contest hoard.
FRANKFORT, Ky, Dec. AT today's
session OF the court Of appeals the tissue
ballot case from Ohio county was decided
and the decision was concurred in by four
OF the seven judges.
The court held that all ballots should he
printed on white paper, sufficiently thick
that the printing cannot be distinguished
from the back and IL ballots are used at an
election which do not substantially comply
with the law the election is not conducted
as required by law and is invalid
The opinion of the court comes too late to
affect the decision Of the state election COM
mission, but sets a precedent for the state
contest board
The court Of appeals today announced an
other decision which has an important
bearing upon the late state election in Ken
tucky. The decision was a ruling making
perpetual the writ of prohibition issued
against Judge Toney OF Louisville, restrain
ing him from interfering with local elections
by writs of mandamus. He was charged by
the democrats with arbitrarily issuing the
writs.
