noted for his excellent Workmanship
with the rifle. 1t is a good old story
that ought to be retold occasionally for

one of the encounter of Boone with the
raccoon-for it serves to illustrate the
extent of Mr.. Boone's reputation in his
day. According to the story teller
whose affidavit was not secured, Boone
was hunting one day, and drew bead
on large raccoon that was perched in

CURE YOURSELF AIT HOME.
KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS.
They Endorse Bryan and the Chi
cago Platform.

A harmonious and enthusiastic Demo
cratic State Convention, composed of
nearly 1000 representative citizens of
the Commonwealth, in one earnest days
work completed the task set before it
elecJing delegates to the National Con-
vention to be held in Kansas City, select
ing State electors, recognizing the
party in such manner as to place the
selection of committeeman in the hands
of the voters, and adopting resolutions
indorsing the Chicago platform and
Bryan, and referring all State issues to
the Lexington convention.
The platform adopted by the conven-
ton reaftirms the Chicago platform as a
whole sud in part, and instructs that the
TWEEN y-six votes of Kentucky be cast
for William j. Bryan in the National
Democratic Convention, to be held in
Kansas City on July The platform
denounces the National Admin stration
and declares against militarism, i'm
perialism and the formulation of trusts.
The financial legislation of the last Re,
publican Congress and the financial
policy of the National Administration was
condemned. The assassination of Gov.
William Goebel and the conduct of
William S. Taylor in protecting the as
sassins of Goebel, adjourning the Legis-
lature and denying the writ of habeas
corpus, were condemned.
The platform contained no reference
to state issues, though the amendment
of the present election law was discussed
in the committee room.
