THE INDICTMENT OF TAYLOR
1T is BELIEVED THAT \ TRUE NIL.
HAS BEEN FOUND.
Many Rumors Arc Ahont Concerning
scenes In the Grand Jury Room
During the Discussion.

Frankfort. Ky. April 20.--There is much
comment today over the unofficial reports
regarding the proceedings in the grand
jury room in connection with The alleged
Indictment OF Taylor.
1t Is alleged that there was 9 disturb
ance over the Indictment and the most
sensational reports are being circulated
regarding the scenes enacted at that tipio
and the alleged pressure for the indiet-
ment.
Whllo II Is genl ,ally believed that ex-
aggerated reports have been circulated re-
gardlng the scenes al the time tho vote
was taken on the Indictment OF Taylor
vet It is at the same time now generally
believed that true bill was returned IN
this case with an order that the announce
mont be not made public until Taylor re-
turned from Washington to the state
Unofficial reports, however, are that the
warrant In this case was issued at the
Davis and Green Golden and that the
three cases were considered after the
others The reports are that these cases
we're considered over and over again ana
tho exciting scenes were at the time OF
the voting, when there was an alleged at

Washington last night TO join his family
al Louisville and that he may arrive here
tomorrow. There Is said to have been
much communication by telegraph yester-
day between here and Washington.
Friends OF Taylor say he Is ready to meet
any charge that may have been brought
against him, but they do not want him
incarcerated without bail, which they say
he can give In any reasonable amount.
The clerk OF the court insists there is no
record on file OF any Taylor indictment,
and all the other indictments returned
Yesterday are on hle In the clerks office.
The circuit Judge can hold an indictment
until the bench warrant has been served,
and that is believed to be the case in this
instance Current reports are generally
credited that the warrant even has been
issued ready Tor service on the return OF

The Rock Island Springs Surprise on

Meeting.

The Trans. Missouri Committee
of the Western Passenger Associa-

at the Brown Palace Hotel. A
surprise was sprung on the Com.
mittee at the morning session, by
General Passenger Agent Sebas-
tian, of the Rock Island. Beginning
about June 20, the Rock Island will
run four excursions from Chicago,
st. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha
to Colorado common points, max
ing rate Of one fare plus 81 for
the round trip and return limit of
October 31st on the tickets. These
excursions will be run as special
excursion trains and about the
same dates return excursions will
be run from Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo to the Eastern
points, the same rates prevailing,
thus enabling Colorado people de-
string to do 30 to make tourist trips
East during the summer, with the
same advantages granted Eastern
tourists who come West.

a full set of teeth without q plate too

It's up to the People.

Less than year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists; congressman and leading men
Of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
in the outcry against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush.
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe.
The situation is a deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are not Of spontaneous
growth They are the result of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollars! Beginning with the dis.
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning of Eng
lands diplomacy in shaping the des.
tiny of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire.
quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transpiring, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with truthful
array Of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
is far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War of '6I-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
have a representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
look beyond their plausible decep-
tons. Read the Enquirer and you
will be able to discern the truth and
combat falsehood. A victory for
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins.
tration in 1900 will end the era OF
greatest good to greatest number.

The Boys Industrial School

10 the title given to Ohio's model
home for the detention, education
and reformation of the juvenile male
delinquents. 1t was originally
known as the Reform School.
The Institution is located five miles
south of Lancaster, on one of the
highest points of beautiful range
known as the Hooking Hills. The
State owns 1910 acres of picturesque
land, and has expended 100000 to
transform this tract into a home and
school for the betterment of bad
boys.
There is no wall, no bolts, no sug-
gestion of restraint. The forbidding
surroundings of the prison are all
missing. The boys are divided into
twelve military companies, and each
company occupies cottage. In ad.
dition to these cottages, there is a
handsome stone chapel, attractive
conservatory, imposing administra-
tion cottage, splendid stone gymnas-
tic hall, cold storage and electric
light plants, natural gas plant, and q
dozen other interesting departments
The boys are uniformed, and have
military maneuvers in accordance
with latest army tactics. There is a
famous band of forty pieces.
The grounds, open to visitors or
all days and at all hours, are very
attractive, and more charmingly
adapted place for Sunday School
society and private picnics could
not be found. The institution may
now be reached by rail, line from
Lancaster to the School having re-
Gently been constructed by the Fair
field Traction Company. The Tract
ion Company trains connect with al
trains Of the Hooking Valley Rail
way, and coaches with picnic parties
numbering fifty or more people will
be run through to the grounds with
out change.

tive to excursions, on application.

Street Car Strike.
The Affairs in St.Louis Seem to get
No Better.

st. Louis, May 16-Affairs iu the
street railway strike have not
materially changed. Rioting was
kept up In various parts OF the
city. In one instance the police
flred into crowd and in others
used their clubs on those who at
tempte1 to interfere with the run
ming of cars. The Suburban sys-
tenn ran all Its cars under an es-
cort of police. So close was the
watch maintained by the force that
practically no disturbance occurred
on Its lines. The Transit Co. start
ed cars on number of its branch
es, and, Notwithstanding the ample
police protection afforded, trouble
cropped out In various directions.
Two cars were taken out of the
station at Geyer and Jefferson
avenues and started for Carondel-
ct. Three hundred striking en-
ployes of the road and their friends
were around the car sheds at the
time, and when the cars came out
q rush was made for them In an
attempt to pull the motormen off
the cars. The crowd was forced
back by the police, and the cars
proceeded on their way without
further interference.
A number of men attempted to
board one of the cars on the
Compton Heights division as 1t
rounded the corner OF Vandevent.
or and Park avenues. The police
men who were on the car used their
clubs on the heads of the first of
the crowd who reached the car,
and the rest of the crowd retire at
ed. The affair occasioned consid-
cradle excitement and dozen
mounted policemen were prompt
ly sent to the scene from other
paEtb OI tne ClCy.
AS Park avenue car was going
iuto town at Park and Mississippi
svenues a crowd of about $50 per
sons assembled at that corner be,
gan to stone 1t. The policemen on
the platforms fred several shots
over the heads of the crowd with
out stopping the trouble, and then
fired directly into the crowd. So
far as known no one was hit. The
car was detained five minutes;
then it started again on its way to
the city.
An attempt was made to cut the
wires at Magnolia and California
avenues, but was unsuccessful, the
men being driven off by the police
A number of arrests were made
The Suburban lines were liber.
ally patronized, but the public
could not pluck courage enough to
take advantage OF the facilities of
fered by the Transit Co., and as a
consequence very few fares were
rung up.
