Blood

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bonemuscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow Of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved our blood
ie poor there is little nutri-
ncnt in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
It fails, take SCOTS Emulsion

The Assassination OF 1870 And
1900.

The jury in the Youtsey case on
trial at Georgetown viewed the
State Capitol buildings and the
grounds where Gov. Goebel was as
sassinated, on Tuesday. Judge
Cantrill and the sheriff and his
deputies had charge of the jury.
They did not delay here very long,
as they returned on the train at
12:45. A number Of visitors. includ.
ing members of the Legislature,
interested themselves in viewing
the court, jury and the prisoner.
Few people in the crowd which as
sembled in the State House grounds
on Tuesday knew that on 9th day
of November, 1926, only about two
hundred feet from where Gov. Goe-
bel received his death wound at
the hands of an assassin, Col. Solo,
mon P. Sharp was assassinated by
Jeroboam 0. Beduchamp. That

So, 900 reward for the detection. ap-
prehension and conviction of the
assassin on November 10th, and on
the 9TH day of July, 1927, Beau
champ was hung for that murder.
Beauchamp and his wife, the latter
staying with him at the Jail, at
eleven o'clock, attempted to COM
NIT suicide by stabbing themselves
with a case knife; her wound was
mortal and she was removed 10 a
room in the jailor's house where
she died in two or three hours.
They we're determined to die to-
gether, and had taken laudanum on
the night of the 5th, but without
success, and took no nourishment
afterwards. Col. Solomon p.
Sharp was member OF the Legis-
lature then in session, and was one
of the leading men of his day in this
State. His assassination created
a thrill of borrow throughout the
country. He had been the Attorney
General of Kentucky under ap-
pointment of Gov. Adair, and had
not reached the age of thirty-eight.
This assassination occurred nearly
seventy-five years ago, and it has
passed from the memory Of this
generation.
Frankfort had its share of as
sassinations. Judge John M.
Elliott, who wrote an opinion in a
case in the Court of Appeals against
Thos. Buford, was shot down by
Buford as he started. up the steps to
the ladies entrance of the Capital
Hotel. V. NJ. South was assassi-
mated while at work at his butcher s

WEAVER CASE
Embarrassing Attitude In Which
the Court Will BE Placed.

Will Judge Walter Evans sit in
his own case2 says the Louisville
Times. This is the question which
is now being discussed by leading
attorneys. In the Harry Weaver
case, if fraud was committed, it
was against candidate, now Judge,
Evans, in his race for Congress.
There is no principle of law bet
ter settled than that man should
not sit as Judge in his own case.
Common decency and justice die
tates that he should not do so.
Judge Evans is now holding a high
judicial position, which should be
free from political bias. 1t be-
comes more evident every day that
the case against Harry Weaver is
purely political. 1t is therefore
reasonable to suppose that when
this case is called Judge Evans
will stand aside and appoint an
other Judge to try the case in view
of his close relations with the
prosecution.
One of the organs engaged in try
ing the case of Harry Weaver out
of court says:
"It will be embarrassing to
Harry Weaver to stand before the
man, now holding an exalted po-
sition, whom he deprived of con-
gressional honors.
Assuming that it is true that
Harry Weaver did defeat him will
not Judge Evans be embarrassed,
too, in trying the case? 1t is
reasonable to suppose that he will
be, and will stand aside.
This case has been once tried be-
fore Congress, which unanimously
found that there was nothing for

RAILWAY MEN FOR BRYAN.
They Will Work Quietly to Es-
cape COerct on From the
"Powers."

hdllIOdu emplOyeS throughout tne
Western and Middle Western States
are preparing for the presidential
campaign. Profting by their ex-
perience during campaign of coerc-
tion and subsidized labor bureaus
in 1896, the railway men are organ
izing secretly and they propose
conducting their campaign secretly.
The General Managers associa-
tion of Chicago-the same organiza-
ton that handled the great Pull
man strike of 1894-handled the
campaign for the Hannaites in 1896,
and the railroad men long ago
came to recognize it's power.
The following circular has been
sent to every railroad employe in
this section of the country from the
headquarters of the Railroad EN-
ployes' Democratic league. The
league officers and headquarters
remain a secret. Following is the
circular:
To the Railroad Employees of the
United States, Greeting:
This circular is addressed to you
for the purpose of calling your at
tention to the fact that we are now
upon the threshold of the great
political campaign of 1900.
In the ,strike of 1894 it was
clearly demonstrated to the entire
satisfaction of all thinking men
that the plutocratic grasp upon
the various functions of government
must be loosened, and with this
end in view strong and deter
mined effort was made prior to the
campaign of 1896 to recover the
Democratic party from the power
and influence of corporate domi-
nation. The effort was successful,
and in that memorial campaign the
most terrific struggle for supremacy |
ever witnessed was carried on.
The plutocratic horde of merce-
naries and minions was marshaled |
and arrayed under the banner of
the FRUSTRATED Republican party,
and policy which for cruelty, in
timidation and fraud is unparal-
leled in all history was inaugurated.
Many thousand ofrailway employees
were corraled and carted to Can
ton to hear Mckinley promise
prosperity.
Verify, prosperity has come to
those already prosperous, more |
work to those already overworked;
more want to those already want
ing. ***
In railroadlng larger engines

smaller ones; switchmen no longer
