THE POWERS TRIAL.


Georgetown, Ky, Aug 2'-lhe
Powers trial dragged its weary
length through another day, the tes-
timony of the defendant himself be-
ing concluded. 1t was generally con-
coded that while some of the admis-
sions made by him were in a degree
damaging, he made upon the whole a
most excellent witness, the prosecu-
ton failing to tangle him On cross
examination.
Rev. John Stamper, the brother-in'
law of Wharton Golden, and whose
testimony the defense hopes to con-
tradict, was introduced, following
Powers, and created something OF a
sensation on cross-examination by adj
hitting that he, Powers FRIEND
sought to get Golden to leave tho
state and indirectly offered him w.
900. Stamper was still on the stand
when the court adjourned.
George y. Weaver, the alleged Col
orado witness for the prosecution, Is
in iail on a warrant charging him
with perjury.
1t developed here yesterday that
ex-Gov. Taylor, although he is not
before the court at Georgetown, ia
represented by counsel there. James
A. Violet, of this city, is attending
the trial to keep up with the evi.
dence as it bears on Gov. Taylor'a
case,

A UNIQUE RECEPTION.


Chicago. Aug. Headers of both
great political parties, including rep
resentatiyes of national, state ana
county organizations and state, con-
eressional and county candidates on
both tickets in Illinois, will meet and
extend greetings before the formal
opening Of the campaign in recep-
tion to be rendered them on August
II ov the Press club of Chicago. The
reception will be as unique in It's
character as national in its interest,
as it will be probably the first time
in the history of politics that so
many men of opposite political faiths
have come together on common
ground to be entertained by their
common friends and enemies, the
newspapers, and to exchange friend
" greetings on the eve of a great po-
ltical battle. The idea as at first con-
ceived was simply to bring together
the candidates of both tickets in an
informal way, with a few members
of the national organizations, but
the scheme has been taken up with
such hearty good will by the mer
who direct the. destinies of the parties
in Illinois, that it is now assured that
over 1000 men, prominent in politica
life, will be present. The reception
as now planned will take place OF
the steamship Virginia, of the Good
rich line, one of the largest and fast
~ boats sailing on the Great Lakes
Besides an informal banquet, a
which the candidates will be givel
all the opportunities they desire Il
say things to their political oppo
nents, an extensive programme o
patriotic music and other interesting
! features will afford entertainment.

THE POWERS CASE.


Georgetown, Ky, Aug. 4.-Of the
eight witnesses introduced by the
defense in the Powers case yesterday,
ull but one were called for the pur-
pose of attacking the credibility OF
witnesses placed on the stand by the
prosecution. One of these, former
State Auditor Stone, stated that wit
ness w. II. CulIon, an alleged Cocoon
spirator of Powers, was removed from
place of trust in his office because
he defaulted in the sum OF Sl'ooo'
Other witnesses, residents of Grayson
Springs, this state, testified that in
stead of being in Frankfort on Jan
uary 80, the day Of the shooting OF
Senator Goebel, as he claimed under
oath to have been, George Weaver,
u prosecution witness, was in their
town organizing a lodge of Wood
men of the World" and others from
eastern Kentucky testified that the
witness Wharton Golden, of the pros
ecution, had displayed n large roll
of money and minated that it came
from the state reward fund.
The most important witness of the
day was Daniel H. Collier, of Ian
caster, adiutant general OF kentucky
under the Taylor administration. He
offered as testimony the written or
ders of Gov. Taylor directing him TIC
bring the regiments of the state
guards to Frankfort after the shoot
ing of Goebel and ordering him tt
confer with the civil authorities o.
Franklin county as to how best pre-
serve peace there, This was the frs
appearance of the document, whicl
was never made part OF the stat
records, and Judge Cantrill ruled i
out as incompetent on the objection
of the prosecution that it was not II

the court room was not sensational
and threw no light on the tragedy.
In the afternoon r. c. 0. Benjamin,
the negro attorney who represents
"Tall0w Dick" Combs, the negro de-
PENDANT, approached Judge Cantrill
and asked to be allowed to make a
motion at the regular motion hour
to-day to have an investigation Of his
conduct in the matter of the confess
sion of Combs in which he had been
charged with betraying secrets of the
prosecution. Judge Cantrill informed
him that an investigation would not
be necessary. Benjamin then gave out
an interview, in which he says that
the Combs confession was made in
the presence of himself, Common
wealth Attorney Franklin and Victor
H. Bradley, Of the prosecution, and
that Combs made all Of the state
ments attributed to him except as
to the amount Youtsey is alleged to
have offered Hockersmith to kill Goe-
bel. He says Combs did not say $1,000.
Capt. d. B. Walcott, who had charge
Of the Frankfort militia, said on the
stand yesterday that the company was
on duty at the state capital the day
the legislature met and throughout
the session, but denied that the SOL
diers were lined up ready for march
ing orders when the assassination oc-
Cured. He said they were equipped
with guns and sidearms, but this
merely happened so.

THOUSANDS BEAR WINS

To the Value Ofthe Pyramid Pile Cur .
Thousands Of pile sufferers bear witness
to the inestimable value OF the Pyramid
Pie Cure and even those who have
undergone surgical operations without
cure have been happily surprised BY re-
suits from a few weeks treatment with
the Pyramid
The relief from pain ard itching IS al
most instantaneous and the healing oils
and astringents contained in the remedy
gradually and naturally bring about a
complete cure IN any form OF piles. itch
ing, protruding. internal OF bleeding.
Mr.. Archie Birkett of Ionis, Mich,
writes: Il was troubled with Piles 50
bad I had to quit work for a while

Pile Cure. used only two applications
and it cured me almost instantly. 1 can
truthfuuy recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure to any sufferer from piles"
Mr.. Edward DuneHen OF Wilkesharre
Pa, says For seven years I was
scarcely ever free from the .tching tor
ment Of piles I had used ointnen ara
calves without number ana often Zines
got relief from them. but It took tie
Pyramid Pie Cure to make a comp exc
cure and it did it thoroughly. and for
eighteen months I have not had the
slightest trace Of piles. I fee ali the
more rejolced because some Of M friends
told me I would never be cured unless I
submitted to surgical operation, and this
felt I never could do"
Mrs. Aaron Afedron OF Savannah. Ca,
writes: Ever since the birth OF my first
child, six years ago, have suffered
greatly from piles and rectal troubles. I
could not bring myself to bear the
thoughts OF surgical operation and had
always been prejudiced against patent
medicines.
But it was simply a case OF try some
thing or give up entirely. and 50 having
often seen the Pyramid Pile Cure adver-
Used. T determined to try it. and for two
years have never ceased TO congratulate
myself that I did so. for have been en-
tirely cured Of rectal troubles, and two
packages Of the Pyramid removed every
trace Of the piles. This may sound far
fetched and over-drawn but It is abso-
lutely true"

caine, opium nor any injurious drug
whatever, and is absolutely safe, pain
less and effective.
