The State C. s. Convention at
Versailles.

The eleventh annual State Con-
vention of the Kentucky Christian
Endeavor Society began in Yer
sailles on Friday.
The morning trains from Louis
vile and Lexington, and a special
bearing the delegates from Coving-
ton and etc. brought in over two
hundred people, and by night the
crowd was swelled to three hundred.
Versailles entertained her visit
ors in handsome style, and he.main
thoroughfare, clothed in purple and
white bunting, with flags flying
from every housetop, presented a
holiday appearance.
The address of welcome was de-
livered by Hon. w o. Davis, in
behalf of the city, and was respond
ed to by Mr.. Harry Rogers, of Mt
Sterling, for the visitors.
Rev. A. Judson Arrick. of Louis
vile, President of the Kentucky
State c. +. Union, addressed the
convention in the evening.
This convention, is said by all
the delegates to be the most enthu
siastic gathering the yenasS; peoples
societies have ever had in this
State.
Among the speakers were Judge
John d. Ellis, Of Newport, Mr..
William $. Waller. Of Louisville;
Mr.. W. T. Burr, of Darlington;

LESS BLOOD BUT MORE
HANGING.

In addressing the Republican
convention in this city on yester-
day afternoon the Hon. A. t.
Wood in speaking of the "strug-
gle for liberty. a fair count, etc.
said in substance:
IF the Republicans are elected
on November 8 and the committee
at Frankfort counts US out |
would be willing to go to Frank
fort and take that committee and
hang them to a limb of a tree.
You may call that treason If you
want to. The people of Ken
lucky will not stand such conduct
again"
That is nearly as bad as wading
in blood knee deep, or the Re
publican plot to murder Demo
cratic members OF the Legislature
and the threats TO kill a Democrat

humiliating, shameful and murder

THE CONTEST.

After the argument had been
completed in the Kentucky Gov
ernorship contest before the Unit
ed State Supreme Court, the Chief
Justice committed the case for fin
al decision to Judge John NJ.
Harlan, OF Kentucky. The pro-
liability is that his decision will be
given during this week. There
are conflicting guesses as to what
it will be. Anxiously the people
await the conclusion, for upon it
depend in large measure the well
fare and good name of our State.

Tom Jones, the Best cavalymsn in the
Regiment.
An English general, in reviewing
a corps of cavalry, suddenly stopped
before a splendid-looking fellow and
asked abruptly:
(Which is the best horse in the
regiment"
''No. 40, sir"
"What makes you think he is the
best horse?"
"He walks, trots, and gallops well;
is good jumper; has no vice, no
blemish; carries his head well; is in
his prime"
"And who is the best soldier in the
regiment"
"Tom Jones, sir"

is obedient, is tidy, takes good care Of

PAY UP OR GO TO JAIL.

Is the order Of Judge Evans.
E. B. Nugent, the bankrupt
merchant Of Louisville, was ar
raigned in the Federal Court TO
show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt. He had
been ordered to pay into court

stock, and which he was attempt
ing to withhold from his creditors.
The Judge has given him until
May 20 to comply 1.-THE money
is not paid, Nugent goes to jail
until it is paid.
He is now an old man about 50
years old. It's sad that one so
old should have his last days so
clouded. His son is implicated in
this fraudulent transaction and in
all probability can save his father
from prison.
Such dishonesty deserves a sew
ere rebuke. What does it profit
a man 20 get money if in getting it
he sacrifices honesty, trust, honor
and the esteem Of his fellowmen?

READ WHAT THEY SAY.

At the recent Republican County
Convention delegates were ap-
pointed to the District Conven-
ton, to be held at Winchester, on
Wednesday, May 70, and State
Convention at Louisville on 18TH.
Among other resolutions they
adopted the following:
Resolved, That we heartily
approve the conduct Of Gov. w.
s. Taylor and other State officers
IN resisting the enforcement Of the
Goebel Law, and they have our
sympathy in the great wrongs
that have been practiced upon
them by the Legislature and the
Courts in the conflict to GUST them
from the offices to which they
were fairly and honestly elected.
Resolved That we resent and
denouuce the false and vilely slam
derous imputations persistently
cast upon the character Of the
law-abiding, honest and intelligent
people of the mountain territory.
Their loyalty to liberty and resist
ance to oppression shows their ii
tie clear to the respect and esteem
Of their brethren Of the Bluegrass.
Resolved, That we appreciate
and commend the course Of all
those brave and courageous mem
bers Of other political parties who
placed State above party and liber-
ty above personal preference and
SO manfully and potently aided in
our late struggle for civil liberty
and equal political rights.
Now what do you think They
appear to have no confidence in
Legislature or Courts Judge Taft
rendered a decision) and think that
their party candidates were fairly
and honestly elected"
What about the mountain"
people who are not Claw abiding,
honest and intelligent
The writer was born in the
mountains and has no apology to
make for the fact, yet he does not
approve of all acts of all mountain
people. He would have all OF
them respected and esteemed.
OF course, they must compli-
ment those members of other po-
iitical parties who affiliated with
them.
The question now, is: Since w.
S. Taylor and his Republican ac-
completes in murder have been so
ventilated, will these same "brave
and courageous members Of other
political parties" still cheerfulIy
affiliate with Taylor and his party
We presume they do not feel
like shouting.

COLTS INVENTION.


The First Great Improvement Made
In Repeating Pistols.
In this day of improved firearms the
fact that the first great improvement
made In repeating pistols by Colonel
Samuel Colt was patented in the day
of our grandfathers Is seldom recalled.
1t was Colonel Colt, then of New York,
to whom was granted the patent, Feb.
rs, 1886. The original petition In the
case was destroyed by the fire in De.
cember following. The letters patent
were returned when application was
made for the reissue, Sept. l, 1S4S. The
original letters are signed by Andrew
Jackson, president; John Forsyth, Sec
rotary Of state, and Benjamin f. But
Ter, attorney general.
After describing his invention Colo
mel Colt claims as new "the application
Of caps at the end of the cylinder, the
application Of a partition between the
caps, the application of a shoulder over
the caps as a security against moisture
and the action of smoke upon the
works Of the locks, the principle of the
connecting rod between the hammer
and the trigger, the application of the
shackle to connect the cylinder with
the ratchet" etc.
There had been revolver patented
about 20 years before by one Collin,
but until Colts invention little head
vvyou 80
til Colts invention had been given a
trial by Major Sam Walker and his
Texas rangers that 1t gained popular
ity and was regarded as a success.
