YOUTSEY IS BETTER.
Examination of Witnesses For
Defense Continues.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 17-Henry E.
Youtsey was reported better today, hav-
ing passed a Bestful night without any
serious paroxysms. His trial proceed
ed on the charge of being principal in
the shooting of Governor Goebel. James
Howard, who is under sentence of death.
was in court.
DR.. J. A. Mahaffey, Republican legis-
lator, was the first witness today. He
said Berry Howard was in the house
lobby when the shooting occurred.
VIM Lewis. a member of the legisla-
ture from Leslie county, confirmed DIR.
Mahafey's testimony.
Attorney Thomas P Carothers of
Newport, Paris c. Brown, of Newport,
and Rev. M. B. Adams, pastor of the
Baptist church at Frankfort, all said
Youtsey's reputation as a moral, up
right man was excellent.
e. c. Wolff, photographer, of Frank
fort, said he took a photograph of the
executive building about 40 minutes
after the shooting, and the windows in
Powers Office were down.
Robert Hazlock, a gunsmith, said the
bullet found in the blackberry tree was
known as a metal jacket bullet with
lead inside and a copper jacket outside,
and was fired from a rifle which, he
thought, the bullet did not fit exactly.
On. cross examination he said the bull
let was the same exactly as those ex-
hibited by the prosecution as being
sey in Cincinnati.
Colonel Crawford, the half brother of
Youtsey, told of a conference he and
Nelson had with Colonel Campbell and
Arthur Goebel in Frankfort, as follows:
Colonel Campbell acted as spokes-
man, and said he believed Youtsey knew
something about the killing of Goebel.
Campbell produced a paper which he
said contained statements that Youtsey
had made to him, and that he wanted
Youtsey to sign the paper I told him
I did not believe YOutsey had made any
such statements to him. Arthur Goebel
then said: we believe Youtsey knows
who fired the shot and who was in that
room. :"
Colonel Nelson was put on the stand
and corroborated Crawford as to what
occurred at the conference.
Colonel Campbell produced a copy of
the paper which was discussed at that
first conference, and asked in detail Of
Colonel Nelson if such and such sub
jectS were not contained in the papers
submitted to him and Crawford at the
conference and then discussed. Nelson
admitted that most of the matters were
discussed. Nelson said he did tell Ar
thur Cfoebel and Campbell in the Gibson
house in Cincinnati that Youtsey could
tell some things that would be beneficial
to the commonwealth in its prosecution
of Governor Taylor, but did not say
Youtsey knew enough to hang Taylor.
Court adjourned at noon till 1:30.

ELKINS FOR HIMSELF.
Planning Trades in West Vir-
ginia TO Save His Seat.

Charleston, w va, Oct. 1.-THE last
Republican sensation in this state is
that the Republicans are going to throw
the electoral vote of this state to Bryan
in order to save the state Republican
ticket and the legislature The legis-
lature is in doubt and Stephen B. E1kins
is afraid a Democrat will succeed him
as United States senator.
The report is that Senator Scott at
the Republican national headquarters
has figured out that the Repu blicans will
not need the six electoral votes from this
state. The Republicans will propose to
a Democrat that if he will vote for the
member of the legislature and the state
ticket the Republican will vote for Bryan
and Stevenson.

COURTESY EXTENDED
By American Mining Company to
Russians in Korea.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Mr. Horace
Allen. the United States minister to
Korea, has informed the state depart
ment OF an act of courtesy on the part
of the American mining company which
operates the mines in the Unsun district
of northern Korea
At the request OF the Russian charge
d'affaires at Seoul, the company placed
its steam launch Helen at the disposal
of a party Of wounded Russians to con-
vey them from point near the northern
border of Korea to the port of Chin
ampo- These refugees were a portion of
the force of the Russian railway com
pany in Manchuria, and had fought their
way from the neighborhood of Mukden
to the Korean frontier, persistently at
tackled the while by Chinese regular
troops and boxers. So fierce were these
assaults that they were forced to leave
the killed and badly wounded of their
party behind. The courtesy of the
American company was much appreci-
ated by the Russian charge. A similar
tender of services was made to Japanese
and the other allied bowers

AMONG THE CLERGY.
Coffee Being Replaced by Postum

Il am the wife of a minister. About
three years ago a warm friend an ex-
emplary mother and the conscientious
wife Of a minister. asked me if 1 had
ever tried giving up coffee and using
Postum Food Coffee 1 had been telling
health. She said: We drink nothing
else for breakfast but Postum Food
Coffee, and it is a delight and a comfort
to have something that we do not have
to refuse the children when they ask
for it
Il was surprised that she would per
nit the children to drink even the food
most healthful beverage, and that the
children thrived on it. A very little
thought convinced me that for brain
work one should not rely upon a stimu-
liant such as coffee is but should have
food and the very best of food
My first trial Of Postum was a fall
ure- The maid of all work brought it
to the table lukewarm, weak, and alto
gether lacking in character. We were
in despair, but decided on one more
trial At the second trial we faithfully
followed the directions, used four tea
spoonfuls to the pint of water, let it boil
full fifteen minutes after the real boiling
began, and served it with rich cream. It
was delicious and we were all Won
I have since sung the praises of
Postum Food Coffee on many, many oc-
casions and have induced numbers of
friends to abandon coffee and use Pos
turn. with remarkable results. The wife
of a college professor said to me a short
time ago that nothing had ever pro-
duced 50 marked a change in her hus-
bands health as the leaving OF of
coffee and the use of Postum Food

That's How Tt Looks to Hanna In
South Dakota.

WATERFOWL, S. D., Oct. 17.-With an
original programme of five stops. Sena-
tor Hannas train stopped at IA towns
in Minnesota and South Dakota during
yesterday, with Watertown for the prin-
cipal stopping place So much pressure
was brought to bear by committees from
various points along the line not includ-
ed in the itinerary and by Minnesota
and South Dakota congressman through
whose districts the train ran, that Sen
ator Hanna. consented to make brief
talks at as many stations as was posi-
bic to include in the days travel, and
at nearly every town of any Importance
through the valley of the Minnesota riV-
er, and across the prairies of western
Minnesota and eastern South Dakota
Senators Hanna and Frye and Victor
Dolliver made speeches varying in
length from two to twenty minutes.
Large crowds were present at nearly
every stopping place, farmers in some
instances composing large part ofsthe
audience, and the speakers We're inter-
rupted many times by questioners.
though always apparently in a friendly
spirit. In one or two instances in Min
nesota, through that part of the state
noted for its dairy industries and stock
raising, the speakers paid some atten-
ton to the tariff question, but the speak
ing generally was on the trusts and
prosperity.
That's all the people seem to care
about" Senator Hanna. "All they want
apparently is to be assured of the con-
tnuance of the present conditions. The
sentiment seems to be all one way, too
I can see onthing but an overwhelming
vote for Mckinley in this section of the
country"
The presence Of school children in the
crowds was a feature of the day At
several points. notably Marshall, Mimi,
the youngsters were present in large
numbers, 900 children in the public
schools being included in the audience
