day and there Is not much comfort in
that little except that the belcaguered
garrison did not despair when they

pers. lie Is TO hold another confer
enoe With Count Won Buelow. the Ger

British Isles increases. The London
Daily Telegraph publishes a dispatch
from Portsmouth saying:
In the naval circles Of Portsmouth.
there is a strong impression that before
long the government VIII mobilize the
reserve squadron and commission sew
eral cruisers to be added TO IL. This i'm
preston is borne out by the fact that
the naval officers whe are unemployed
have been notified to mold themselves
In readiness to proceed on active SER
vice at short notice.
The work on ships in hand at Ports
mouth is being pushed with all speed.
Only the most necessary repairs on
several cruisers now reftting have
been taken In hand.
That the channel squadron had at
the last movement been retained in
British waters instead OF being sent di-
rect To Gibraltar is also considered a
sign that some important steps may
be taken. The squadron remains for
ten days or fortnight at Bantry and
then proceeds to Suda bay or Gibral-
tar"
All this, too. at time when the tone
OF the continental press is not more
hostile toward England than 1t Las
been for years; when no threat against
England is heard in Russia or Ger
many. or even in France.

FRANKFORT, KY. Feb. 1.-For the
nrst time since the shooting of Cover
nor Goebel. there were today signs of
a peaceful settlement. The signs We're
few and small and they have disap-
peared, but the hole into which they
were withdrawn has been left open
and there is chance that they may
reappear.
The original proposition looking to-
ward an amicable adjustment came
from the republican side just before
aoon wien I, l.. Edelen, of Frankfort,
one of Governor Taylor's attorneys,
appeared at the Capitol hotel TO hold
a conference with Judge Pryor, Lewis
Mcouon, and Colonel William S. Scott,
legal advisors Of the democrats. Ede-
len proposed to submit the case of the
rival governors to the Kentucky court
of appeals, which, he declared, judg-
Ing by the action of Judge Hazelrigg
In swearing in Governor Goebel, would
probably decide against Governor Tay-
lor. He then said he wanted the right
tc submit the matter to the United
States supreme court for final settle
merit.
The democratic attorneys desired to
have the matter adjudicated in the
state courts. To this Edelen objected,
saying that he wished final settle
ment to be made in the supreme court
at Washington.
McQuon urged the republicans to
conoede the election and seating of
Governor Goebel, which Edelen de-
cllned to entertain. Both sides were
then at the end of their respective
ropes. Nothing more could be said on
either side and the lawyers separated.
Edelen intimated that it was possi-
hle that he might be able to submit
another proposition at some later time.
He was given to understand that he
would be met half way and the con-
ference was at an end.
Some of the younger democrats have
broken away from control of their
leaders and are openly talking of
swearing in citizens as special police
men in order to take possession of the
state buildings and capitol grounds III

SOME HOME FIGURES.

a Nebraska corn-fed steer is worth
t12 to SIG more than in 1896, and hogs
bring $3.50 a head more. Sheep are
worth nearly double the 1896 price,
and Wyoming wool has increased so
per cent.
Meanwhile American credit at home
and abroad stands higher than the
credit Of any other nation-a condi-
ton not SO happily true in 1895.
OF course the millennium is not here,
and there is still poverty and hardship
in the world. The Republican party
does not make the sun shine nor cause
the rains to fall. But times have grown
better, the people are better employed
and the products Of toll bring better
prices.

II IT RIGHT
For An Editor To Recommend Patent
MrdiciucS?


Medicines:
From sylvan Vail y News, Breyrad, n G..
1t may be n question whether the
editor OF a newspaper has the right
to recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood
the market, yet as preventive of
suffering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
(idve known and used the medicine
In our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In
many cases dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while
physician is awaited. We do not
believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but we be-
lieve that if bottle of Chamberlain s
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on
hand and administered at the incep-
:ion of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by all
druggists.
