let them run their own governments at
their own expense. Open free trade be-
tween them and The States as the States

Rico and the Philippines would soon learn
which side of their bread was buttered,

powers from imposing OH them. A little
diplomacy would be all that was required,

these islands. IF any shooting seemed
necessary II would be among themselves.
The United States would be locked up

jealousy and suspicion as under McKin-

The Empire.

Within the last two years a combination
of capitalists OF America and England
have united for the purpose ofcontrolling
the action of the British government and
the United States to further their schemes
of exploitation, and have selected China
as their field of operation. This combi-
nation ofcapitalists represents collectively
wealth far in excess Of what the American
nation possessed at the opening of the
century. 1t is the most colossal comb
nation the world has ever known, and
embraces the richest and strongest men

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By focal applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con
dition of the mucous lining ofthe eustach-
ian tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
flanimation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by eatarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton ofthe mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)

New York banks are filling up with
money again, which is flowing in from

is Stacking up and the money is not being

TO make the per cent which the big

Turning TO the price current as reported
by Dun & Co, it is found that prices are
falling. Even steel unexpectedly shows
decline, and the prediction of the COM
mercial authorities is that the range of
prices promises to be steadily downward
for an indefinite period. Thus the silver
mems predictions are again proving to be
true. Gold standard and low prices are
twin evils.

The House decided to exclude Brigham
Roberts by an overwhelming vote, for
having three wives. The Cecil Democrat
thinks it was very dangerous prece
dent" Only courts are governed by pre-
cedents. Congress is governed by facts.
But suppose the Roberts case is made a
precedent, and every bigamist with three
wives that goes mp to the capitol asking
for seat is excluded, that would be right
every time, and it can't be precedent
for anything else.

What Bryan said has already come to

pass
Trusts" he said, represent the de-
struction of opportunity. If carried to.a
logical conclusion they will crush out the
opportunity of the young man of today
who has hopes and expectations of en-
gaging in business for himself. The trusts
will leave to him nothing but hope and
a clerkship.
''The yonng men who are coming to
vote this year for the first time are begin
ming to believe that the Republican party
is good thing for the monopoly and a
poor thing for the young man, who, as
things are going now, can only hope to
be poor clerk for some monopoly"
Will young men continue to vote for a
continuation of the conditions which have
brought such results, or for Bryan and
destroy them?

firemen are dead and others injured,
and property to the amount OF about
$3.50 600 was consumed.
The fire, which is supposed to have
been of incendiary origin spread with
great rapdity famed by a strong
southerly wind, and the fremen were
seriously handicapped by lack Of
water, and further by the fact that
the long bridge over the railroad
tracks, which furnished access to the
scene of the confagration, was torn up
for repairs From the packing house

the Northwestern Lime Company

Georgetown, Ky. Especially We, the
jury, find this defendant guilty and nix
his punishment at life Imprisonment.
This verdict was returned by the IL
men who were selected to try Henry
E. Youtsey, formerly Governor Taylor's
stenographer, on the charge OF being
principal in the shooting of GOV. VIM
Goebel in front of the executive build
ing at Frankfort, January 30.
When the jury entered the court
room a few minutes after O'Clock
Judge Cantrill asked:
Gentlemen, have you made a YER
dict?"
Foreman R. H. McCabe nodded his
head.
Pass up the papers to the clerk"
said the Judge.
The sheriff passed them up and the
clerk read the following verdict:
We, the jury, find the defendant
guilty and fix his punishment at con-
finement in the penitentiary for life"
Gentlemen, is that your verdict|
asked the. judge.
1T is was the reply.
Gentlemen, you are now finally dis
charged, and you can call on the trus-
NNN9 VI INC jury LuAu AOl JOuA Phyt
said Judge Cantrill
he vote was unanimous that Yout-
sey was guilty. Then the degree of
punishment was taken up. On this
question the jury was somewhat divid-
ed, but finally agreed on the life SEN
tence.
Henry Youtsey is the third man to
be found guilty in connection with the
GOebel shooting
Caleb Powers, tried on the charge of
completely, was sentenced to life I'M
prisonment, while James Howard, tried
on an indictment charging him with
being a principal in the shooting, was
sentenced to death
During the early days of Youtseys
trial the prisoner exhibited signs of
breaking down. While Arthur Goebel,
brother of the dead man, was on the
stand testifying, Youtsey rose in the
prisoners dock and denounced the wit
ness in wild exclamations, while Yout-
seys wife screamed that Goebel had
sworn away the life of her husband.
Later the prisoner became uncon-
scious, and, according to attending
physicians, has since practically been
inanimate. Each day his bed has been
carried to the door of the jury room,
where it stood in plain view Of the
court, its occupant apparently oblivious
to his surroundings.
Motions for a continuance were over
ruled by Judge Cantrill, who declared
that he was powerless to stop the trial
unless the defendant be adjudged lu-
natic. Youtsey showed considerable
Improvement, however, and his physi-
clans stated that he had resumed taxi
ing nourishment in the regular man
ner, while his respiration was rapidly
becoming normal,
The defense filed a mC,ion for an ar
rest Of judgment and Judge Cantrill set
it for hearing en- the second day of the
February term. Therefore, Youtsey
will not be sentenced until next year.
Youtsey was ordered removed to the
Frankfort jail.
It is likely jury will be empaneled
as soon as practicable to inquire into
Youtsey's sanity.
