PLAN FOR A TlE.uP.
Democrats In Kentucky Have Evolved
Scheme TO Prevent Gov. Taylor from
TransactiDg business

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 20.-The state
democratic contest is expected TO rem
der a decision by Saturday seating the
democratic contestants for minor
state offices. The democratic contest
ants will then be sworn in and will
make formal demand for possession
of the offices. This will be refused
by the republican ineumbents, and in
functions similar to those pending in
the courts over the governorship will
be filed. The democrats claim the i'm
mediate effect of this will be to tie
up securely every branch of the state
government, pending settlement of
the contests by the courts, as it is
generally regarded as certain that
banks, county officials and probably
everybody else who has financial busi-
ness with the state will refuse 10
recognize either set of state officers
till the title TO the offices is judicially
ascertained.

WATCHED MRS. COLLINS.


Topeka, Kan, Feb. 20.--lIenry r..
Brant, detective OF Sioux City, Ia,
has commenced suit for 1904 against
the estate of John Collins on the
ground that the deceased hired him
to watch Mrs. Collins lest she fall in
love with younger man. Brant says
he performed his duty faithfully for
l POS hours at an agreed price OF so
cents an hour, and adds that he is
confident il was his vigilance which
prevented anyone from alternating the
wife's affections. II will be remcm-
bered that John Collins was murdered
in this city two years ago and his
son, John Henry Collins, is serving a
life sentence for the crime.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 2O.-'The i'm
preston that the contest over the
governorship will not be ended till 1t
is fought 10 a finish in the courts Is
not lessened by the action taken by
the democratic senators in their ses
sion yesterday ratifying their former
action by which Senator Goebel was
declared governor. The republicans
who spoke for Gov. Taylor said he
will not recognize as legal the pro-
ceedings taken yesterday and which II
is anticipated will be duplicated in
the house to-day, but has told them
that he looks upon these proceedings
as illegal and will not quit the fight
until the whole matter is passed on
in the courts of last resort.
