luton was offered, and went over under
the rules until Monday:

peals to meet at their accustomed and

Troops Leave. save = Small Guard.
orders were at once issued 70 Gen. Col
lier to prepare for the departure of the
troops, and in a very short time large
number OF them were ready to leave.
Six companies left tonight. and only
small detachment will remain by Mon
day morning These will be detailed only
as a peace guard and will in no way be
obtruded on the presence Of the legis-
lature.
Republicans Will Come.
Word was at once sent TO the members
of the Republican legislature now in ses-
sion at London that the next session will
be held in Frankfort and a prompt reply
was received to the effect that they would
all leave In a body on Sunday and be I'm
Frankfort Monday in time for business.
After Gov. Taylor had left the hall a res
olution embodying the sense of the meet
ing was adopted
Contest Practically over.
After the adjournment OF the meeting
1t was the opinion of the Republicans that
the gubernatorial contest was practically
over. They understood the action of to-
day to mean and II was intended TO mean
that the matter should now be fought
out before the courts and the issue there
reached to be accepted as final There
was no intention of asking that a new
vote should be taken on the Goebel-Tay-
Tor contest, but Gov. Taylor stated to sew
eral prominent Republicans that he
would ask that any former action be rati-
fled by vote of both houses taken with
out passion.
Democrats Are IncOnsistent.
Nnen informed OF tDe ACtion OF the
Democratic legislature at Louisville in
refusing to come to Frankfort Gov. Tay-
lor said:
"It strikes me that their attitude Is
somewhat inconsistent. They claim they
cannot be protected at Frankfort. and
there Is nobody here to modest them.
They objected to the presence of troops
at time when there was far greater ex-
element and danger than now. After
things have quieted down they refuse
TO return because they say they cannot be
guaranteed protection"
The action of Gov. Taylor today returns
the gubernatorial fight to the exact post
ton IL occupied on the day following the
Goebel assassination. with the additional
complication that there was but one leg
islature and one governor in fact. where
as there are now two claimants for the
position and two separate bodies. each
claiming to be the law-making power Of
Kentucky.

Executive Office.
Louisville. Ky. Feb. 10, 1890.
Gentlemen of the General Assembly:
II desire 10 inform you as to the result
OF the attempt to settle the present unfor-
tuuate state OF affairs in the common
wealth by means OF an agreement adopted
by a conference of representatives OF both
parties in this city last Monday night. We
earnestly hoped that by this agreement the
differences before US would be removed.
and thought peace and order would again
be established in the state. We have been
ready at all times that this matter should
be settled in conformity with that agree
ment. But Information has lust reached
me that the Republican claimant TO the
Office Of governor has refused 10 sign that
agreement, and consequently all nego-
tiations in that line are now at an end.
We had been led TO believe that the gem
tienian who now controls by armed force
the state departments al Frankfort would
abide by this agreement, and that your
body would again be permitted to meet in
their respective halls peaceably and unmo-
Tested; but, having been disappointed in
this hope, l desire 10 recommend to you
tHat Nou cpHtluue your SESSIONS TOT tfc
present in the city of Louisville where
every protection can be given your mem
beers from any unlawful arrest or other
unwarranted interference with your pro-
ceedings. The capital buildings at Frank
fort are now in possession of armed forces
openly In defiance OF The law, held by
those who have no legal rights to do so
ana for that reason l could not guaran-
tee TO you that safety and protection
In
AS the legally elected governor OF the
commonwealth OF Kentucky. l promise 10
you to use every legal means in my power
TO restore as soon as possible order and
peace at the state capital. that as soon as
you may deem IL advisable you may adj
1ourn your meetings 10 that place
Asking your assistance and co-opera-
ton to bring about this result / send this
message to you as a recommendation for
your action at present.

Ana Yet He HAD to Smile.

She was telling tales on her brother,

had money, which was only for two or
three day each month after he receiv
ed his allowance. Bob was sweet on
JESSIE" she said land wanted to give
her something nice. So he went to the
florist and ordered one dozen American
Beauty roses to De sent to her address.
They were IS cents apiece, and that
meant 50, enough for Bob to pay. But
what does the foolish fellow do?
HE sees some extra long stemmed
ones standing in a vase near by, and
he prices those. 'One dollar and q
quarter apiece says the man. Bob is
feeling very generous that day. His
allowance has just come In. Give me
a dozen of those instead of the cheap
ones 1 took he says and hands over

the effect his present has made. She
hasn't received the flowers yet. They
come while he is there. This just suits
him, because he will be able to see the
expression of astonishment on her faSe.
She opens the box, sees RoS's card
and lifts up the roses with q cry of rap
ture and an oh Sir. Wentworth. how
sweet Of yoI! Then she looks around

Ancient Sundials.

1t is probable that the earliest SUM-
dial was simply the spear Of some no
mad chief stuck upright in the ground
before his tent. Among those desert
wanderers, keen to observe their sur
roundings, it would not be a difficult
thing to notice that the shadow short
ened as the sun rose higher In the sky
and that the shortened shadow always
pointed in the same direction-north.
The recognition would have followed
very soon that this MONDAY shadow
changed In its length from day to day.
A six foot spear would give a shadow
at monday in latitude 40 degrees of II
feet at one time of the year, Of less
han two feet at another.
This instrument, SO simple, SO easily
carried, so easily set up, may well have
begun the scientific study of astrono-
my, for 1t lent itself to measurement,
and science is measurement, and prob
ably we see 1t expressed In permanent
form in the obelisks of Egyptian solar
temples, though these no doubt were
retained merely as solar emblems ages
after their use as actual instruments
of observation had ceased. An upright
stick carefully plumbe6 standing on
some level surface may therefore well
make the first advance upon the natu-
raj horizon. A knob at the top of the
stick will be found to render the shad-
ow more easily observed.-E. Walter

Seattle, WASH. Aug. 16.-A
special from Dawson says:
Alexander King has been ad-
judged guilty of the murder of
Herbert Davenport of Patterson,
n. j., and sentenced to be hanged
October 2. The murderer con-
fessed his crime.
Davenport was freighting goods
belonging to King down the Yu-
kon to Dawson and kept striking
on sard bars. King told him that
if this happened any more he
would kill him, and when the scow
struck another bar, King coolly
drew his revolver and emptied il
into Davenport's body, killing him
instantly.

No one event recently has shown
the temper Of the American people
toward the imperial policy of the
administration as has the liberty
congress which convened Wednes-
day in Indianapolis. 1t is COM
posed of more than 300 dele
gates representing forty five states.
The delegates are all representative
men in the states and communi,
ties from which they come and
they represent all shades of polit
ieal and religious faith and al
most every nationality. With a
unanimity and an enthusiasm that
has seldom been equaled in an
independent political-meeting
these delegates nave denounced
the administrstlon's imperial and
colonial polis y and declared for
the .slpremacN of the constitution
and the symbolic integrity of the
flag. 1t is idle to say that these
men represent only their individual
opinions. They are men who have
represented and served the people
of their respective states and COM
munities for years and whose very
life and interests keep them in
touch with the public sentiment of
their sections. 1t is this public
sentiment which they represent,
and their speeches and actions re-
feet the temper of the people
among whom they live as faithfully
as if they had been chosen by pop
ular voice for the purpose. That
they do not seek Office is shown by
the fact that they refuse to name q
ticket. They are imbued with q
patriotic purpose to redeem this
government from kingcraft and
oppression and replace it upon the
solid foundations hewn for it by
the fathers. That they have
chosen VIM. j. Bryan as the in
strument for the accomplishment
OF their purpose is not because he
Is q democrat. but because he
stands squarely upon a platform
whose feaFlessness of expression
leaves no room for equiyocation.

fact remains that while the bank

that the Peoples bank shall with
draw and leave an open field fol
