The Indianapolis Journal prints the
following interview with R. N Miller
"R. n. Miller, Catfhty Attorney Of
Breckenridge county, Ky, and the only
man in Western Kentucky for whom a
warrant has been issued by the Beck
ham contingency, is in the city at pres
ent, the guest of w. NJ. Robinson, OF 1912
North Capitol avenue. When located
by Journal reporter last night Mr.. Mil
Ter expressed rurprise that bis presence
in the city had become known, but said
he was not sverse to an interview. Said
he: 81 suppose you want to know when
l came here and when expect to re-
turn. so l might as well tell you my
story. Shortly after Secretary of State
Caleb Powers took his office l was ap.
pointed by him AZ chief OF the corpora
ton department, and Immediately en-
tered upon the duties OF the Office.
"Mr. Powers and myself, being init
mate friends aud associated together in
the office, made an arrangement where
by we occupied the same sleeping room,
and always took our meals together. l
am telling you this in order that l may
convince you of my intimate acquaint-
ance with Secretary Of State Powers. l
do not think there is a man who knows
him more intimately than myself, and l
want to say to you that il he came before
me at this present moment and made
oath that he was implicated in even the
slightest degree in the death of Mr..
Goebel, would not believe him. Know
ing him as do, l would unhesitatingly
say that he never dreamed of such q
thing. Golden, in his confession, &C.
cuses Powers Of being instrumental in
bringing the ieudists into Frankfort
from the mountains. In my opinion,
this is damnable lie that was we'll paid
for. On more than one occasion, when
it had been reported that certain men
were coming in from the mountains, !
have heard Mr.. Powers say: 81 DOM
want men like that coming in to see
me" or else he would say: II don't want
men coming in to see me at the Capitol
who can't let whisky alone"

No Warrant For Miller.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 4.-(Special.)
There is no warrant for the arrest OF
r. n. Miller, OF Breckenridge county.
1t is not thought that he had any con-
nection with the assassination, but it is
believed that he would make a good
witness for the prosecution. It is re-
garded as strange, though, that as soon
as the Commonwealth began making ar
rests Miller got a horse, rode through
the country to the Ohio river and Cross
ed over to Indiana, where he has been
since then. "The wicked flee where no
man pursueth," said one Of the prosecut-
ing attorneys tonight when asked about
Miller.
II is known that Miller was at his
desk in the outer room OF the Secretary
OF States Office when the shots we're
fred. His desk Is against the wall di
viding that room and the Secretsry's

attention aud good behavior OF all who
attend. In manifestation of their belief
that the same will continue, the mem.
beers of the Society almost unanimously
elected little Dan Roberts, the six year
old son Of Prof. Roberts, rs the only
peace officer OF the Society. Hlrrah for
Dan! Young as he is he enrolls as a
member and answers his call at each
meeting. While he may not perform
any great part in the work yet We be-
lieve in giving the children a chance and
he is now laying a foundation upon
which he will be proud to build in after
years.
All these signs of interest in literary,
together with many Others, show that
the good people OF HardinsbuTg are
coming TO the front in educational mat
tiers and wish to see the time come in
the near future when Breckenridge
County shall be known along education
al lines as the banner county OF the
grand old commonwealth.
| am strong advC cate of Literary So
cietles in public schools as we'll as col
leges for in those we receive a training
which we cannot receive elsewhere.
They not only educate US in the line OF
work done in the society (which alone
is sufficient to reward us for our time
and effort but also teach us 10 investi-
gate, to think for ourselves, to be origi-
nal in thought and expression and above
all to express ourselves clearly and dis
tlnctly.
We hope that each member OF this
school, when they shall have gone to
their different professions, may point
with pride to their work in the Society
as being one Of the many features Of the
school that has achieved for them
whatever success they may make in life.
We are proud OF the Society and we
know that under the direction and
through the efforts OF such energetic,
conscientious wisdom-loving teachers as
compose the faculty of "The Brecken-
ridge Normal College," the Society will
know no such word as failure but will
always take the word success for its
watch word.
The visitors We most heartily thank
for their presence. We are glad to have
them with us and now at each and every
one Of our meetings we extend to them
a cordial invitation to come and bring
their friends.-J. w. +.

Predicts Civil War.

II cannot say anything of the ulh-
mate outcome of the trouble in Kentuc-

is deposed civil war will follow as sure
ly as the sun shines. Gov. Taylor and
myself are intimate friends, aud 1 know
whereof speak. do not think they
will have temerity to arrest Gov. Taylor
at the present time, but imagine they
will try to indict him at some future
session of the grand jury. The whole
Beckham contingency is a black-hearted
lot, and it has called to its assistance

mate scoundrels on the face OF the

J. w. MEADoI

Since the receipt of this letter the good
doctor has had an unfortunate ex-
perience in the big city which no doubt
ver6es his first opinion of New Workers.
The New York Evening Poat tells the
story:
j. w. Meador, physician OF Trisler,
KY. according to his own statement,
was robbed Of $500 week ago Saturday,
having fallen into the clutches of bunco
men in this city. Nothing proves the
truth of his statement, except the con-
frmation OF those who knew him dur.
ing his short stay. But the fact that after
he had lost, by bogus card game, all
but $50 OF the sum which he had saved
for trip to Europe, he redeer.ed his
steamship ticket and returned sorrow
fully to Kentucky, seems to indicate that
his story is true.
The case is held up as typical one in
which the victim suffers and finds little
sympathy, either from the police or from
city officials. At the Second precinct
police station, where complaint was made
on the day of the robbery, the case had
already dimmed in the memory of the
desk sergeant, and the information was
obtained that the detective in whose
hands the case had been placed was sick
with pneumonia. The following story
is told by one who saw the Kentuckian
frequently while he was here.
"Mr. Meador came on Friday, the 23rd
and registered at smith&McNel's Hotel.
He was p MUSICIAN, and we'll along in
| life, but he was alec lecturer, and he
had $4S5, with which he planned to Wis
it Palestine for lecturing material He
said he was personal friend OF Gov.
Taylor, and showed letter from Gov.
Taylor. He claimed to have been once
a member of the lower house OF the Ken
lucky Legislature, and at another time
prospective candidate for Governor.
"On Saturday morning Mr.. Meador
boarded broadway car to go to the Office
of the Cunard Line. A pleasant
looking man followed him, aud struck
up an acquaintance, representing him
self as Mr.. Kenney, whom Mr.. Meador
recognized as prominent business man
of Frankfort, Ky. Mr.. Kenney' called
him by name, and, after he had trans
acted his business at the steamship office.
led him away to another Office in the vi
cinity Of Ann street, where, the man
said, he could make an advantageous ar
rangement to exchange him steerage

New Yorker, and eastern traders with

But New York with It's vices, its rings,
It's intrigues, money loving, and money

sacred to every patriotic American.
