LOUISVILLE, KY, February g.
II the agreement drawn up tonight at
the conference of the representatives
of the Republican and Democratic adj
ministrations, held at the Gait House
in this city, is accepted and carried
out, the strife which has rent Ken
lucky from end to end for the past
few weeks will be ended.
The agreement was reached shortly
after midnight, and arrangements were
Immediately made to have it drawn up
and signed.
This was slow work, however, and 1t
was after 2 O'Clock when the confer
ence separated.
The Democrats gained nearly every
point they commended for. and the Re-
publicans representatives, Lieut.. Gov.
John Marshall, Gen. Dan Lindsay and
Attorney David Fairleigh, gave assur-
ances that the agreement would be ac-
cepted by Governor Taylor tomorrow.
The agreement provides for that in
order to leave no question as to the
title of VIM. Goebel and ]. w. G..
Beckham to the Offices of governor
and lieutenant governor respectively,
the General Assembly shall pass re-
solution in joint assembly validating
the acts on that subject since the
Legislature has been prevented by
troops from holding it's regular ses-
sions at Frankfort.
Asssoon as the Legislature does this,
Beckham's title to the Office OF gov
ernor is not to be questioned. The
Democrats grant immunity to Gov
ernor Taylor and his associates from
prosecution for treason, usurpation of
Office or contempt of court for what
has been done since the shooting of
Goebel.
These matters are to be held in abey-
ance until next Monday.
The Republican Legislature is to be
withdrawn from London Immediately
and no filibustering or other attempt
of this character is to be resorted to
by the Republicans to obstruct the
carrying out of this agreement in the
Legislature.
The Democrats suggested that in
view of the great crowds expected in
Frankfort during the Goebel funeral
ceremonies the soldiers should be
withdrawn.
The Republicans asked that an
adequate guard be left to protect Gov
ernor Taylor and his associates.
It was finally agreed to leave to Gen.
Daniel Lindsay, one of the Republican
conferees, the decision as to how
many troops should be left to prevent
a clash as a result of the Goebel fun
eral the Republicans to begin at once
the withdrawal of troops from Frank
fort.
1t was agreed that the Board of
Election Commissioners, sitting as a
contest board. should be allowed to
meet at Frankfort without molesta-
ton, the Democrats agreeing that no
summary action be taken on these con-
ests, and that nothing be done with
cut due hearing of evidence and ar
gument.
The Republicans asked that some
provision for repeal or modification
of the Goebel law be included in the
agreement The Democrats agreed
that to two leading Republicans and
two leading Democrats should be left
changes in the Goebel law believed to
be wise.
The acceptance Of this agreement by
the principals is the only element of
uncertainty now remaining in the
situation. Naturally there is no OBJ
lection from the Democrats and the

The colonel,s Romance.

Colonel" said the romantic girl
tell me how you got that scar upon
your left check. Oh, just know IL
must be thrilling story. Was 1t made
by bullet or saber thrust2 I prefer
n sabcr thrust. 1t seems so much more
like the knighthood of old. You can't
sec bullet coming, and there is no
way to escape 1T or combat it, but when
your enemy rushes at you With his I'D.
lifted saber there is the possibility Of
parrying his blow and cutting him
down. That seems much more manly.
even If the victor in the fray does re-
ccive wound or two, than to just be
laid low or to lay the enemy low by
bullet that cannot be seen. There Is
no bravery in shooting man, but
there is something knightly in meeting
another face to face with n sword.
Your scar looks like one that was left
by cleaning blade, and l know that
your enemy must Mt least have been
rendered hors de combat. Tell me all
about 1t, colonel-when IT happened
and how. I am SO interested In war
stories."
Eyes" he replied, 81 agree with you
fully about the sword and saber bust
ness. There isn't much bravery in
shooting fellow, and there is some.
thing lnightly about standing up and
thrustlng and parrying with blade.
But got this wound while acting US

Cut Their Sentenced short.

Many people in every walk Of life,1
and particularly travelling men, seem,
to have craze for abbreviation. On
almost every page Of the hotel register
may be found some unique freak. Of
abbreviation.
Two Authorizations that have been
noticed are ~. o." and ~. o." Any,
where but in the residence column Of al
hotel register they would be very puz-'
cling. OF course 1t is easy to under!3
stand that the 90" means Ohio, and as]
there Is but one town in that state that
begins with ~" GAINESVILLE, and butt
one the name Of which begins With
~" Xenia, it is easy to understand
the Authorizations, and they save a lott
Of time and ink.
"11worth" is not so easy to under {
stand perhaps. but when "Kansas" Isl
written after 1t is easier. Another
puzzing abbreviation is 49," butt
when 1t is Chattanooga, TO-" it Is not5
hard to read. Columbus Is USUALLY
written "Cols." and Chicago "Cgo."
The final ''h" in the old fashioned way
Of spelling Pittsburg, which has BEEN
almost entirely dropped elsewhere, Isl
usually used In the abbreviation which
most Pittsburgcrs write ("Pgh.") nowo-
days.-Chicago Chronicle.

The soldier and HI. Heart.

Very few soldiers who have seen
much service escape what Is called
battle heart.
The ordinary state of the heart in
healthy people is one Of irritability,
but in the soldier Of five or six years
service the irritability is SO great that
it constantly affects his temper.
The soldier wears such tight clothing
That his heart has not room to beat
freely, and the perpetual struggle to
do Its work under difficulties Injuries
it. The soldiers trousers IRE tight ut
the waist His coat is buttoned as
tightly as possible and very often he
squeezes himself with belt.
Then when on the march his chest
is compressed by the weight Of his
knapsack, canteen, great coat md
heavy cartridge belt.
If you watch company of soldiers
when they are doing long march.
you Will observe that most Of them
have flushed faces, red ears, red noses,
swollen necls-showing that the heart
Is greatly overtaXed. Some, on the
other hand, are pale, which proves that
their hearts are not equal to the work
thrown on them. u
When, after q very long march, the
men have to deploy into fighting order,
and perhaps rush hill, very large
number break down altogether. Their
overstrained hearts never become
really strong and healthy again.

Regardless of the mandates of the
nabobs of the east. who now say that
the properly dressed man must wear q
shirt waist, Neil Mcleod, foreman Of
the car inspectors In the railroad yards
in this city, has adopted q fashion,
which, although trifle homogeneous,
yet has proven to be decidedly SER
viceable. For reasons not stated Mr.
Mcleod hung his trousers out to air
on Q line near the car inspectors
shsnty in the western portion of the
yards near the depot. A short time sf
ter Q hobo, returning from the late
convention at Britt, spied the bifur-
Gates and Immediately appropriated
them for his own wardrobe. When
Mr. Mcleod discovered the theft 9
short time afterwards. the manner in
which he expressed himself is for OBJ
vious reasons left to the imagination.
As during the extreme heat of the
present month workmen are not in the
hsbi. of wearing more clothes than nee
esssry, the most careful search around
the 'shsnty" failed to reveal an extra
pair of trousers, consequently the un-
fortunste foreman was forced to go
home in barrel, which was provided
BY his sympathiztng friends.

Balch is Still in a Serious
Condition,

This mornings issue of the World
Herald in speaking of the condition Of
Mr. + E Balch, who was assaulted in a
Pullman sleeper last Thursday, saws
the following:
Mystery still shrouds the case of +
q Balch, the assistant cashier of the
Omaha national bank, who was held
up and slugged in his berth in u Pull.
man sleeper early Thursday morning.
Although perfectly conscious Of
what is going on about him at thu
present time, Mr. Bllch's mind is IA
blank as to what occurred in his berth
how he was assaulted, by whom, am,
~ matter of fact he does not recol-
lect that he was assai,ed at all. TIL.
doctor thinks, however, when lie has
recovered somewhat from the shock
that he may be able to recall the Incl
dents of the encounter unless as is
possible, he was slugged while asleep
Mrs lsalch is still under the care of
DR. Hoffman. She is in a state of ner-
vOus prostration and the nurse has or
ders to allow her to talk with no one. :"
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 24:-For two
hours today, G w Cretchner, 1l64
West Twenty.ninth street, porter of
the Pullman car in which f E Balch,
assistant cashier of the Omaha ma
tional bank, who Is supposed to have
been assaulted and robbed Wednesday
night, was examined in the private of
fee of chief of detectives, w NJ Eielly,
of the Chicago & North Western. AZ
ter the examination the assistant chief,
who put the questions, said he did not
believe that tine porter was responsible
for the crime. II was learned that
Cretchner had been in the employ Of
the Pullman company for little over
! year and had earned the reputation
OF being thoroughly competent man
Previous to gong with the company
he was employed as head bell boy at
the Delprado hotel, Forty-ninth street
and the Midway.
Cretchner in the statement made t..
the officials says Mrs Balch informed
him of her husbands condition abou,
$3.50 o'clock in the morning, which was
the first intimatiOn he received of what
had happened He furthermore states
that he was awake all night and did
not hear any disturbance in his car;
that the passengers retired at the usual
hour and that he is sure none of them
left their sections.
The theory has been advanced that
possibly Mr. Balch was a Victim OF
nervous ailment and injured himself,
though the disappearance of his money
is not explained.
Superintendent Early, of the Pinker-
ION agency, does not believe Balch was
followed BY men from Chicago. Mr.
Balch, it is said. did not have any of
the banks funds in his possession at
.the time and the money he drew while
in Chicago Tuesday was sent by ex-
press to the New York correspondent
of the Omaha bank.

The local newspaper should be found
in every home. No children should
grow upignorant who can be taught to
appreciate the home papers. 1t is said
to be the stepping stone of intelligence
in all those matters not to learned in
books. Give your children a foreign
paper which contains not one word
about any person, place or thing which
they ever saw or perhaps ever heard of
and how could you expect them to
be interested? Bullet them have the
home paper and read of people whom
they meet and of places with which
they are familiar and soon an interest
is awakened which increases with every
daily arrival of the local paper. Thus q
habit of reading is formed and those
children will readthe papers al their
lives become intelligent men and wo-
men, a credit their ancestors, strong
in the knowledge of the world as it is
today. ,-Dysart Review.
