EIGHT POISONED
From Drinking Butter Milk From
a Tin Bucket.

Between eleven and twelve o.
clock Friday night eight persons
at the home of Mr.. Lem Clark;
awoke from their slumbers death
ly sick. A messenger was speedily
dispatched for doctor, and when
DIR. Paris arrived he found he had
eight patients under his care; some
of them very sick, others not so
bad. He began to investigate and
found that all the sick had drank
butter-milk for supper, and those
who consumed the most milk were
most in need of medical attention.
1t kept the doctor pretty busy for
a time as he proceeded to keep an
eve on the condition of the eight
people, but after a few hours suf-
fering all recovered.
The milk had been in tin buc-
ket for some time: it was brought
from neighbours house mile
and half away in the bucket and
the poisonous acid was probably
generated from the time in carry
ing and iostling.

He discussed the assassination
of Gov. Goebsf and state issues
in a telling manner.
1t was a strong, logical, eloquent
presentation of the issues of the
campaign and the speaker was
frequently and enthusiastically
cheered. The speech was certain

BOURLAND SPEAKS.
An Eloquent, ForcefuI Address
to a Large Crowd.

According to announcem n
Hon. w. E. Bourland, of Dixon,
addressed the people at this place
Saturday night. He spoke under
the auspicies of the Democratic
club and was greeted by n large
and enthusiastic audience. In an
appropriate speech Mr.. Will H,
Clark introduced the speaker.
The speaker said that he was
rocked in a Republican cradle,
reared Republican and always
voted the Republican ticket, but
now the party had wandered away
from the doctrines of Washington
and Lincoln, and no longer stood
for the constitution, the flag, and
Americanism, and as conscien-
tious man who loved his country
and her institutions, he had cut
loose from Mark Hanna and the
"money changer" who were now
using that party for their nefa-
rious purposes. He took up the
question Of imperialism, and dis
cussed the treatment accorded the
Porto Ricans; how they were
brought in and then refused the
privileges of the constitution, tax
ed without representations thing
we would not tolerate in 1776.
The plea that the tax was returned
to them did not change the prin-
ciple involved, and how were they
benefited, if we collected a tax
from them, charged them for col
Letting it, and returned the bal
ance to them?
He discussed the Philippine
war, showing how the Filipinos
had been accepted as allies and
lead to believe that they would
have their freedom when the
Spanish were driven out, but we
turned upon them and were trying
to crush them as the British tried
to crush us. Why were we doing
thisp Because the money chan
gers demanded it in the interest
Of trade. The people must pay
the enormous expense of this war,
but if anything was to be gained
in the way of trade, the gain would

he took up the question OF

their millions to the Republican
campaign fund, and then we're

JOHN D. WHITE
Prohibition Candidate for Gov
ernor Speaks in Marion.

Tho Hon. John ID. White. Pro-
hibition candidate for governor,
addressed a large audience at the
court house Friday afternoon. He
opened his address by discussing
the great principles of the Prohi-
bition party-the destruction of
the liquor traffic. He said that
the Republican platform of 1896
stated that the party upheld pro-
hiDition and would stand by its
efforts. He made 100 speeches for
Mckinley and then saw the Re-
publican party back out on the
prohibition clause by allowing
whisky to be sold to the soldiers
under a wrong Interpretation of
the Army Canteen Law" He
said the Democrats had no prohi-
bition clause in their platform and
might have done the same but was
"better to have never prom
ised than to have promised and
then failed to have kept that pro
mise" He discussed the Philip
pine war, opposes it and holds the
administration responsible for the
death of many soldiers. Said Nc
Kinley was a good man but weak
one. On state affairs he dwelt at
some length. He said Taylor was
weak, unqualified man, put forth
as the Republican candidate by
the Federal Office holders; was the
nominee of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad. The fight, he
said, was truly between the l.. and
N. and William Goebel. He re-
garded Goebel as a man working
against corporate greed. The l..
and n. had tried to beat him in
Democratic convention but failed.
Brown, Stone and Hardin did not
see anything so bad in election
law until Mr.. Goebel got the nom
ination. He does not believe an
election law can be made to suit
all parties before the election and
advocates a repeal of the Goebel
law, which is not so bad, and hol-
ding elections under old law. He
said it would never be known
which party honestly carried the
state in 1896. He said in 1896 he
went before Republican caucus
in Legislature and told them that
the gross frauds practiced by Re-
publicans in Eleventh district and
Louisville justified even Goebel-
ism. The mountaineers are not as
mean as they are pictured, said he
They are influenced by party lea
ders. In speaking of mountain
intimidators that came to Frank
fort he said: "Find out what made
high Federal Office holders talk of
rivers of blood flowing in Kentuc-
ky, what made state officials talk
of President Mckinley sending
100000 men to uphold Taylor,
what made Roosevelt wire Taylor
that he stood by him in his law
less course and then you will know
what inspired the one thousand
mountaineers to sweep down on
Frankfort.
Mr.. White strongly advocates
woman suffrage and ended his adj
dress with an eloquent appeal for :
