Brady Burnett was the unanimous
choice of the convention for justice OF
peace.
No more harmouio Gus convention was
ever held in Benton county by any
party, and the ticket as whole is con-
sidered exceptionally strong. Every
section of the county is represented,
and the men selected are all staunch re-
publicans and eminently fitted to fill the
offices for which they were selected.
Their ability to carry their full party
strength is conceded and this means the
election of the entire ticket. The close
vote CAST where there was a contest
shows the splendid material offered for
all offices and the matter of choice be-
tween the candidates was very difficult.
The defeated aspirants magnanimously
proposed the nomination of their sue
cessful opponents by acclamation, and
good will prevailed.

Injured by Dynamite.

A distressing accident overlook the
little son of George Avery last Wednes
day.. Together with other lads of his
own age, he was playing in the woods
near Crystal Lake cemetery. They came
upon an old camp, and boylike, ex-
plored everything in the neighborhood.
Some dynamite cartridges were discov-
cred and not knowing the nature of their
find, this little fellow, who is about IL
years of age, undertook to drive nail
through the cap. An explosion resulted
which tore off the thumb and index
finger of his left Land. His companions
assisted him to town, where they fell
into the kind hands of G. B. Wells, who
took the little sufferer to the Office of
DIR. Pernot, where his wounds were
dressed. He bore the ordeal manfully
and at last accounts was getting along
nicely.

Repub1icans!

We wish to impress especially upon
voters of this county the inn
portance of their compliance with the
new registration law. A failure on the
part of a small number of republicans to
register may mean the defeat of some of
their candidates where the contest is
close in the coming June election. A
systematic arrangement on the part of
the opposition perfectly legiti-
mate-will show the name of every mem
Der of their party, thought entitled to
vote. upon the registration books before
May 18th, and no republican should be
SO lax in his duty to himself and to
his party as to deny himself the
right of franchise at the polls next June.
This is the only thing which will admit
of any republican candidate being de-
feated, and the election of the entire
ticket means solid front and successful
in the coming momentous
presidential contest.

Try to imagine bride and groom

/ have seen them do so. When left
Pretoria for the front, friend intro
duced me to young Boer couple who
were going on the same train. I
thought my friend was Joking when
he said they were going to fight the
British, although both Boer man and
wife had Mauser rifles, and wore three
bandoliers, two over the shoulders,
one around the waist.
AS we sped toward Ladysmith the
Boer and his wife chatted gaily and
unobtrusively displayed the greatest
affection for each other. I made up
my mind the woman was going as Far
as the army officials would permit and
then bid her husband good bye.
When the train reached the end Of
the line, short distance north of La
dysmith, Nine. Bocr alighted with her
husband, assisted in taking horses
from the last car on. the train and,
after leaping lightly to the saddle,
rode away toward one Of the laagers
in the distance. She sat on her horse
as well as her husband, and the rife
that was slung over her shoulder prob
ably did as much execution afterwards
as that of him who rode beside her.
And no finer, more inspiring exempli-
flcation of patriotism can be found ON

men whom I have seen wore black

apparel, but the Beers tell me that the
women often put on their husbands
clothing when their own becomes
worn. In the early days of the cam
paign the British captured three Boer
women in mems clothing and they arc
still held as prisoners of war on the
warships at Simonstown, near Cape
town, but they have been supplied with
proper clothing.
1t would be hard to keep these war
rior women from the front. They were
the first to insist that the Transvaal
should resist England; now they are
sharing the burden and expect to share
the glory.
For every Boer, man or woman, old
or young, firmly believes that the re-
publics will ultimately triumph. The
relief of Kimberley and that of La
dysmith are regarded not as defeats
but rather as victories, in as much as
the Boer forces, which have been lying
almost idle around those cities, can
now be taken where there is real fight

Alleged That Gov. Taylor Was
In Plot.
State Gives Details OF the Latest
Confession.

Louisville, Ky, April 6.-(Spl.)-The
full story Of the assassination of Sen
ator Goebel was given out by the Goe-
bel attorneys today. 1t is detailed
statement of the killing as told by var
ious witnesses for the commonwealth
before the grand jury. The statement
in part, follows:
"Jim Howard, the Clay county feu-
dist, is the man suspected by the COM
monwealth of having fred the shot,
which came from 3S-calibre Marlin
rifle furnished by Henry e. Youtsey,
who bought the steel bullet smokeless
powder cartridges from a well known
Cincinnati house. 1t Is charged in the
confessions that have been made that
Caleb and John Powers, Chas. Finley
and two or three others, whose names
are known, helped the conspiracy, and
that Jim and Berry Howard, Youtsey,
CultOn and one OF two others, each
having their special parts executed it.
Youtsey duplicates Governor w. S.
Taylor. stating that he was one of
eight or nine men who knew Of this
end of the conspiracy which was car
ried out in Caleb Powers office. The
men implicated are w. s. Taylor, Caleb
Powers, John I. Powers, Charles Fin
ley, w. III. Culton, Jim Howard, prob
ably Berry Howard, one other man and
himself.
Youtsey's advisers have pursued the
xxyhtnh r,I To
advised in having him make clean
breast.
In his confession Youtsey says that
certain Republican leaders would not
trust the negro Combs and Hoker
Smith with the work, and when anoth-
er was engaged he refused to do the
shooting until the money was paid
The demand was made just before the
shooting, while in the executive build
ing. The cash instalIment fs said to
have been $1,000 Yoursey went out of
the room, got the money and turned it
over to the proper persons. He knows
who was In the room but it is said he
claims either to have left the room or
to have turned his back when the shots
were fired.
Governor Goebei was killed with a
rife owned by Mr.. Grant Roberts, a
brother of Mr.. Sam Roberts, Collector
Of Internal revenue at Lexington. Mr..
Roberts, however, was entirely inno-
cent of any connection with the con-
spiracy, and 1t was without his knowl-
edge that his rifle was being used. 1t
was 3S calibre Marlin, and one of the
truest and best that were ever made
Youtsey raffied it and 1t fell into the
possession of Mr.. Roberts, who placed
it in the vault in the auditors office.
Several days before the assassination
it disappeared from the vault Mr.. Rob-
erts was angry about its removal and
made an effort to find out who had tax
en- 1t.
The door to Powers Office was open
ed with the key which was given to
Youtsey. Youtsey knows who entered
and it is virtually certain that he said
Jim Powers was one of them. Howard
Is under indictment for the killing Of
George Bakor, the father Of Tom Ba.
ker, who was killed in Clay county
while guarded by the soldiers. How
ard had been trying to get pardon
from Taylor for killing George Baker,
and 1t is claimed that Powers and
others assured Howard he could get
the pardon IL he would kill Goebel.

METHUEN
Believed to Have Gone to the Relief
OF Mafeking.

| This is the first mention of the de-
parture Of the main body Of Lord
Methuen's forces. The question Is,
have they gone to the relief Of Mafe-
king. A dispatch from Capetown says
there are serious difficulties between
Premier Schreiner and the other mem
bers of the Afrikander bond. 1t is
thought possible that Schreiner and
Chief Justice Solomon will resign from
