A Koutucky Feud.

The most graphic description of the
modern Kentucky feud that has yet
been published is found in the Pinck-
neysville Democrat OF recent deate as
follows:
@Man born in the wilds of Kentucky
is OF feud days and easy virtue. He
tisheth, fiddleth and fighteth all the
days Of his life. He shuns water az a
mad dog and drinketh much of bad
whisky. When'he desireth to raise

even from the cradle to seek the
scalp OF his grandsire's enemy, and
brlngeth home in his carcass tho am

ms uncle's father-in-law, who aveng-
eth the deed. Yea, verify his life is
uncertain and he knoweth not when

%He goeth forth on a journey half

shot! He getteth up in the night to
let the cat out and it taketh nine
doctors three days to pick the buck

in JOY and Rladness and cometh homo
in scraps and fragments. He refers

Conc, but not Forgotten.

The editor Of the Livingston Dem
ocrat published at Geneseo ,NewYork
threatens to elnbalm the memories of
some of the citizens of his county
in this wise if they do not mend their
ways:
Thomas Blank died at his home in
this village Saturday, July %, at the
age OF 20 years. He had been con-
fined to his bed for several weeks as a
result of a drunken brawl in which
he had several ribs broken, one eye
knocked out besides other injuries.
MIR. Blank was born at Slaugterville,
and during his youth was conside red
one Of the toughest little rascals in
town. He was continually getting in
trouble and this followed him all
through life. In 1868 he was arrested
for horse stealing, tried and convict
ed and served ten yeass in the state
prison. Upon his release he forged a
note for $500 and was arrested upon
this charge but the matter was hush
ed up and the suit was never pushed.
He was INTO crooked deals of all kinds
and was arrested time and again for
fighting, drunkenness, etc. AS pro-
fame man he had no equal. About
every other word was an oath while
talking with his associates, though he
refrained from swearing in the society
OF ladies and made very favorable
Impression. AS liar Ananias could
not hold candle to him. In fact he
could not be believed under oath.
Mr.. Blank never paid his bills and
was an all around bad man. The
funeral was held from his late resi-.
dence the same day that he died, and
there was not friend to follow him
to his last resting place, and it is the
hope Of everybody that he has gone
to hotter place than he ever got in
to in this world. The community at
large will rejoice with the family that
he has gone.

EPIGRA11S BY BRYAN.
Democratic Truths Delivered in
Terse and Taking
Style.

William j. Bryan has an epigram-
matte manner Of speech which rivets
attention and causes the truth of his
utterances to strike home and to re-
main in the memory.
In his recent address delivered at
the Auditorium meeting Bryan was
unusually forceful and remarkably
wise in his remarks, and the entire
speech was mastery IN it's logic and
irresistible in its eloquence.
In dealing with the trusts the great
Democratic leader spoke words that
cannot be forgotten. Among other
things he said:
@The trust is bad because OF the
monopoly feature. When a few PEG.
pie control product necessary to
human existence, then those few con-
troll to large extent the lives and
happiness Of all people who produce
those articles, all who work in pro-
ducipg, and all who furnish the raw
material used in it's manufacture.
."Can we afford to build up i'll this
nation system by which few shall
transmit wealth from generation to
generation where the masses can on.
ly hope for q clerkship under some
trust?
@If they say there is no way to stop
the trusts, that she Republicans are
doing all they can, remember that it
is within the power Of the President
to appoint an attorney general who
will enforce the law against the trusts
even if he has to 20 out of the Re-
publican party to get the attorney
general.
"And if the law on the statute
books is insufficient, it is within the
power Of the attorney general to pro-
pose laws which are sufficient, and if
the constitution stands in the way it
Is within the power of the attorney
general to recommend an amendment
to the constitution which will give to
Congress power to deal with this sub
ject.
@But the Republican party is power
less to annihilate the trusts as long as
the trusts will furnish the money to
keep the Republican party in power"
These words should be. studied
carefully by everyone who has the
good of the people at heart.
In them wall be found the arraign-
ment of Of the trusts, the description
Of its evils, the suggestion of the rem.
edy, the impeachment of tho Repub.
Leans and the demonstration that the
people need hope for no help from
that party.
Seldom has 30 much Of truth, wis,
dom and epigra1n been expressed
with such terseness. There are vol.
umns in less than half a hundred
ines.-Chicago Democrat.

him down. Smith was stunned by the
blow, and when he recovered his senses
the man had disappeared, having taken
the soapmaker's gold watch and chain
and about 50 with him.
There was no one to be- seen on the
street, and Smith, after picking himself
up, started out to find a policeman. AS
soon as he met one on Sixth street he re-
ported the robbery to him and the facts
were communicated to police headquar-
terS.
Smith was able to give a good descrip-
tiOn of the rObber As the soapmaker is
a powerfully built man, surprise was ex-
pressed that he was so easily made
victim of the robber who was a much
more slightly built man. He said he
could easily have overpowered the fell
low. but he did not get a chance, as the
blow on the jaw knocked him out for
few minutes.
Two detectives were detailed on the case
and after making an investigation they
discovered that the robber had visited
some of the saloons in the neighborhood
after the robbery and had spent good
portion of the SO taken from Smith. The
detectives believe that they will have
difficulty in arresting him as soon as he
gets over the debauch with the money
stolen from Smith.
A bad crowd Of hoolums hangs around
the neighborhood of LangtOn and Bryant
streets and the robber is supposed to he
