FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 26.-A special
train bearing more than 1000 men car
rying Winchester rifles, arrived in
Frankfort at $50 o'clock a. m. The men
hail from the counties Of Bell, Allen,
Knox, Harlan, Whittier, Metcalf and
Edmonson. Frankfort is overfowing
with visitors, but none except those
mentioned carry arms. Governor Tay-
lor stated to an Associated Press repre-

He disclaimed any knowledge Of the
identity or purpose of the armed Wis
itors.
CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 26.-A special
to The Times Star from Lexington,
KY, says: The men are to be present
at Frankfort when the Goebel men will
attempt to force action on contests in
the house. 1t is said that notice will be
served on Goebel members that these
men do not intend seeing Republicans
who have been honestly elected thrown

to order the lobbies and galleries cleared,
in which event a conflict would be pre-.

Increased Attendance at the Tri-State

FARGO, N. D., Jan. 26.-The second
day of the convention of the Tri-State
Grain Growers saw an increase in at
tendance and a larger popular interest
in the proceedings. The day was given
up to papers on subjects of interest to
grain growers. A question box has been
established, all those having questions
to ask placing them, written, into box,
from which they are taken and dis
cussed. This feature seems popular
with farmers, as it gives all chance to
talk On matters of personal interest
All present consider the convention of
valuable interest to the states in an ag-
ricultural and financial sense, all Sec
tions being represented.
E. D. Childs read a paper on the
"Value of Corn as Raised for Fodder in

of the National Grain Growers Cooper

his association. Senator Hansbrough

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The comman-

mittee of the G. A. R. called on the
president and presented plan for the
establishment Of board of judges in
pension cases to sit in Washington and
hear cases on appeal from decisions of
the pension bureau. These appeals here
tofore have been decided by clerks in
the interior department. detailed by the
secretary Of the interior for this pur-
pose. It is believed by the commit
tee that a tribunal made up of
high standing in the legal profession
brought together from different parts of
the country and sitting in Washington
with we'll defined jurisdiction and pow
ers, like the United States circuit court
Of appeals or the court of claims, would
remove in large measure the dissatis-
faction felt by large class of people
with the system which has prevailed for
many years.
The president received the suggestion
of the committee with favor and prom
ised to give his careful consideration to
the draft of a bill which the committee
in due time will present to him.
