A Chinaman is afraid to look over his

is thinking of him, and he feels that all is
right at home, but if his neighbor sneezes
and he does not, be believes himself neg

Quite like other women, the Chinese wife
has her little plans and schemes and ad-

Mr.. Stuntz, the watchman.
You see. where the Northwestern
road crosses the three mile creek there
used to be a very high wooden trestle.
I guess 1t was sixty feet high, built Oh
a sharp curve. It was q dangerous
place for a bridge. and the railroad
company always kept a man there at
night 10 watch and signal the engi-

1t used to frighten me just to stand
at the door Of Mr.. Stuntz's shanty be-
side the track when the big trains flew
by. You would think that they must
surely jump the rails on the curve and
rush right into you, or at least that the
wind they raised would suck you in

MINISTER CONGER IS ALIVE
Message From Him Is Received
BY Washington Officials.

The government accepted the mes
sage as authentic and Secretary Hay
transmitted it to oil our ambassadors
aRd ministers abroad, with instruc-
tons to lay it before the respective
governments to which they are ac-
credited, and TO urge upon them the
necessity Of cooperation for immedi-
ate relief of the foreigners at Pekin.
A message was sent by Secretary Lcug
to Admiral Remey, conveying the in
telligence of the desperate situation
in Pekin and instructing him to Fuse
and urge every possible endeavor for
relief"
The message, Secretary Long OK
planned, meant for Admiral Remey to
himself "use" and to urge" upon the
commanding officers of the other pow
ers the use of every endeavor for the
relief of Pekin. Secretary Root sent
similar notification to Colonel
Coolidge, the senior American officer
ashore, at Tien Tsin, but without in
junction. This action was the result
of the conference Of Secretaries Hay,
Long and Root.
1t was realized that the land aud
naval forces now in China could not
single-handed push on to Pekin, and
the other powers accordingly were
appealed to, on the base of Minister
Conger's message, to cooperate for in
slant relief. Secretary Hay explains
his reasons for placing reliance in the
authenticity Of Minister Conger's dis
patch, saying that it was a complete
reply in code to the code message sent
to him, and that its authenticity was
vouched for by the tsung Ii yamen.
"Of course" said Secretary Hay,
smiling, 81 am not omniscient and
may be fooled, but cannot see how
the authenticity of Minister Conger's
cable can be questioned

KentuCky--StrOng Platform
Is Adopted,

Governor Beckham was nominated
by the Democratic state convention Of

ton at 800 o'clock Friday morning,
and the convention adjourned within
thirty minutes thereafter
After the narles of Judge Black, of
Barbourville, and Judge Tarvin, of
Newport, we're placed in nomination
a roll call of the convention was be.
gun. When LcLean county was reach
ed Beckham had the SAT votes neces-
sary to nominate. Then Black and
Tarvin's names were withdrawn and
the latter at once moved that the noml-
nation of BeckhNm be made unani-
nous. The motion carried and Beck
ham was escorted to the platform,
where he made a speech of acceptance.
1t was 2 a. m. when Senator Black
burn presented a report from the
committee on resolutions. The re-
port as adopted was in part as fol-
lows:
eve heartily indorse the magnifi-
cent platform adopted by the national
Democratic convention at Kansas City
July 5, 1900, and also the splendid
ticket named by said convention and
pledge the Democracy of Kentucky to
an earnest, cordial and active support
of said ticket
THE Democratic party recommends
that the election law of 1898, known
as the Goebel law, be so amended that
the most hypercritical can find no ex-
cuse for charging fraud or unfairness
to our party in the conduct of the
election.
"The mob and the assassin shall
not be the arbitrators of the citizens
of Kentucky, nor shall the penalty of
an appeal to the law and the regular
constituted authorities be death at the
hands Of assassins.
Sincerest grief is expressed over the
death of Governor William Goebel.
Every sincere lover of civil and per.
sonal liberty is invited to join in q
campaign against the forces gathered
under che banner of ga Government
! by Assassination.
In conclusion the administration Of
Governor J. G. w. Beckham was
strongly Endorsed.
