FOR COUNCILME EN-,
REPUBLICAN SPEECH.

EX-Chief Justice w. II. Holt, OF
Frankfort, followed Mr.. Brown in a
speech in interest Of the Republi-
can ticket. 1t was not a Joint dis
cussion, no, no! 1t was a play of
the lion and lamb in the same loo
cabin. The crowd, with little
of change partners, was the same
as heard Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Brown waded into that Dem
ocratic election law to which he had
prior to the convention entered no
protest, and Col. Holt braced up
against the same thing, unmindful
of wise and patriotic measure"
with which national Republicans
attempted to bride a liberty-loving
people. The Republican measure
was a force bill, while the Demo
cratic bill is a guard in favor of an
honest count.
Judge Hollis speech was eloquent,
ingenius, and strong from his stand
point. We applaud an out and out
sincere Republican, but what can
we say Of Mr. Brown. a disorgani-
ger, be he wise or foolish as to his
position.

"MoNTRosE, TRANSPORT, KY. /
September II, 1899. !
Editor J. w. HEDpEN,
Mt. Sterling, KY,
DEAR SIR: i respond cbeerfully &c
your request. Having formerly lived
many years in Covington, have known
William Goebel since his early boyhood,
and have watched with interest his rise
to his present commanding position.
There must have been unusual promise
of ability and assurance of integrity in
the young attorney, when the late Sena-
tor Jno w. Stevenson admitted him to
his office, and eventually committed to
his trust, without bond, his handsome
estate.
As the partner of the Hon. John G..
Carlisle Mr. Goebel represented the firm
during Mr.. Carlisle's long official life in
Washington, and for many years he has
been leading and trusted attorney at
the Covington bar. No man in that city
or in the State bears reputation freer
from reproach in his private, professional
and political life than William Goebel.
Unhappily, his present political emin-
ence has made him a target for calumny.
William Goebel is a splendid illustra-
ton of what young man, unaided by
fortune, unaided by influential friends or
family prestidge can accomplish by good
morals, energy, and devotion to duty.
His life is model for young Kentucky
manhood.

born, grew to manhood and be
gan his public career as an At
torney at law in Covington, Ky,
His father, James Arnold. was
the largest taxpayer in the city,
When the Christian Congregation
was without a house of worship,
James Arnold purchased a lot
built and furnished the church al
his own expense and decided it to
the congregation free Of cost.
Under powerful conviction of duty
young Arnold was soon forced to
abandon his chosen profession and
consecrate his wealth, large learn
ing and brilliant talents to the
cause Of Christ. He at once be-
came a leading minister Of his de-
nomination in the State and has
served as minister many Of the
most important churches. Before
the organization Of the Broadway
Christian church, Lexington, he
served as pastor Of the united con-
gregation, then called the Main
Street Christian Church. He was
a favorite pupil and friend Of AL
eXander Campbell who always re-
quested young Arnold to accom-
pany him on his tours through the
State.
Knowing that Rev, Arnold was
a righteous man with the full
courage Of his convictions and
that he was familiar with the life
and character of his fellow. towns
man, with no misgivings we invit.
ed him to stand forth and face the
mudslingers who are carrying on
A campaign of defamation against
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor.
His testimony is all the more
grateful from the fact that he has
not affiliated with the Democratic
party for years, and speaks only
n the interest Of truth and right

EX-CH[BF JUSTICE
B. ]. PETERS
AT THE RIPE AGE OF NINE
TY-FoUR YEARS,
Weary and Worn, Enters on
His Reward.

For some time this celebrated, grand
lawyer and model Judge, has been grad,
ually passing away. The voice, strong
and clear, showed with each succeeding
day, lack of power. A body once erect
was becoming stopped, and the firm,
elastic step had become a totter, The
eye full of mind discerning, faded with
age, and the form accustomed to pass
through our streets, going to and from
his home became less frequent; then from
strength and vigor he became an enact
ated; helpless old man, and at last, sur
rounded by friends and relatives, the God
whom he had loved and served, sent His
death angel down from the skies and
kissed away his life.
1t was Monday morning at 10. 80 o clock
that his spirit took its fight. The watch
ing ones were two sisters Mrs Henrietta
Calk, Mrs. Ada CHM, nephews, one
neice, and friends. They observed close
ly his breathing; they knew the end was
near, but before they could hardly realize
it his body was still in death, and
and the men he used to meet
with he had to do will know him no
more forever.
The body was given over to the care of
embalmers, Messrs. Sutton & Harris,
who will prepare it for interment, which
will take place in Macphelah cemetery
after funeral services at the Christian
Church Wednesday afternoon, the goth
at O'Clock by Revs. w. T. ..Tibbs
and II. d. Clark.
Honorary pail bearers will be the FL
ders of the Mt Sterling Christian Church,
members of the Court of Appeals, and
local bar.
Of Judge Peters we could say no more
than he was an honorable man, Christ
ian gentleman, courteous and kind to all
men, yet bold and brave in the defense |
of character and living principles.

Bull Whipped by a Sow.
From the Middletown Penny Press.

A rather Unusual battle occurred on the
urday last. winning Devon bull
owned by Mr. Bill had been out to pasture
for some time, and in his solitude had come
to look upon himself as monarch of all he
surveyed. On Saturday last Mr. Bill turn
ed into the same lot SOW that has also
won prizes for beauty at many of the fairs
held in the state. No one had hitherto sus-
pected her possessing fighting qualities, and
IL not until brought to a test that she
developed her most remarkable traits
The big Devon bull resented the approac CHI
OF the SOW, and almost at once proceeded
to attack her. The sow at first was inclin-
ed to run, but as there was no place to es-
cape she turned about and faced her as
saiant. When the bull made charge
Kansas Bill and one of the farm hands
who saw the combat expected to see the
sow swept into the next field. When almost
upon her the SOW shuffied quickly to one
side and planted her teeth in the laws of
the bull, who shook her off and made a sec
ond attack almost Immediately Again did
the SOW pursue THE same tactics and sue
ceeded in getting even better hold " hen
the bull finally shook her off there was
blood on his neck and jaws and he was en-
ragged to the point of madness. The bull
continued the attack, but could not man
age to gore the sbw, which fought much as
bulldog would; depending chiefly on her
fully ten minutes. when the bull covered
with blood ran=to the furthest corner of
the field and remained therefor the rest of
the day. 1t was with difficulty that he was
driven home that night. The SOW was not
much injured in the fight
