POWERS DENIES
 ANY CONSPIRACY
CONCLUDES HIS TESTIMONY HAv- ING BEEN ON STAND TWENTY FOUR HOURs-HoLLANp WHIT TAkER TEsTiFIEs TODAY.

Georgetown. Ky. October H.-This is County Court day. and there is a big crowd in attendance at the trial of Caleb Powera Nearly all the prisoners witt nesses have arrived in Georgetown. and among them are former Ad1utant General R. T. Collier, Dr. P. Morgan Vance. one of the physicians who attended 0ocbel and ex-Judge W. H. Yost. Holland Whit taker. of Butler County, Tayior's home county, and now under indictment as a principal in the crime, is here to testi- fly in behalf of Powers. Whitaker was released some time ago on $10.0O0 bond.
 When court convened this morning Powers resumed his testimony in chief
 Powers said on one had eyer had his personal key to his office except Leo Da- vidson, son of Assistant Secretary of State Davidson. He gave Davidson his key to keep while he was away from Frankfort, from January 11 to 1T. Powers said T want to say that there is a possibility that the shots may have been fired from the Secretary of States office. Duplicate keys could have been made, but when Goebel was shot I had the key to my office in my possession.
 Powers denied most emphaticsliy that he had ever conspired with any human being to do violence to William Goebel or any other Democratic official.
 His cross examination was conducted by Attorney Campbell.
 James Carpenter of Louisville testified that when Goebel was shot he came out of the senate building and found a num- Der of persons. looking up at e raised third-story window of the executive building. This is important testimony be- causs the D. osecution has made it a point that the first floor window was open and that 1t was the only one open on that day. After several other witnesses were heard. court adjourned at e;l0 p. m.
 Holland Whitaker now under indict- ment for the murder of Goebel and un- der t10.eOo bond will testify for the defense tomorrow.

A aueer Frontier rxper,.n...

In narrating the frontier experiences
of "The First White Baby Born In the
Northwest in The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal w. S. HARDWOOD tells of a queer ex-
perience that befell the family in the
first year after settling on a farm far
removed from the settlements.
The winter had been unusually long
and severe, and their stock of provi-
sions ran low. 1t was a long distance to
the nearest base of supplies, and COM
munication with the outside world had
been cut off. Indians In the neighbor-
hood one night broke into the granary
where the wheat was stored and stole
quantity. In doing this large
amount of broken glass became mixed
with the wheat which the Indians left,
so for many days, amid much merry
story telling and many a joke and
laugh, in spite of the serious situation,
the family gathered about large table
In their living room and spent the
short winter days picking over the
wheat, kernel by kernel, in order to
free it from the pieces of glass.
For this wheat stood between them
and starvation, and none Of. its pre-
cious kernels must be lost. Their stock
of flour had long since wasted away,
as had most of their food supplies, so
they boiled and ate the wheat without
grinding. Relief reached them just in
time to prevent sad ending to the ex-
perience.

Limewater has so many uses 1t Is
hard to classify. 1t is good to soften
water, to sweeten drains. to keep milk
vessels wholesome, to make milk itself
sit well upon delicate stomachs, to test
air for excess Of carbonic acid-if there
is too much carbonic acid present, the
clear limewater instantly crusts over
TO take out marks left by grease spots
which have been removed by stronger
alkalis-in fact, for so many things Ii
should always be kept on band. Mixed
with either sweet or linseed oil to a
creamy consistence, it is the very best
household remedy for burns and scalds.
1t costs practically no more than the
trouble of making. Put a lump of
quicklime as big as the two fists in a
clean earthen pitcher. cover 1t six inch
es deep with clean cold water, stir
with a wooden spoon and let 1t stand
six hours. Pour off the clear liquid
without disturbing the lime, but let II
run through double cheesecloth. Put
in small bottles and cork tight. In
using always pour off half an inch
from the top of bottle that has stood.

Arab and the Telenhone.

We had party of Arabs along with
us and took them all over great news
paper office. Everything was wildly
astonishing to them. They had mag
ined that the Koran contained all the
knowledge and wisdom of the world,
yet here were the telegraph, the tele-
phone. the electrotype and the printing
press. The place was a veritable en-
chanters' castle to them. They would
never have believed in the telephone if
| had not called up their hotel and got
one of their own party at that end of
the wire.
The deryish who had come along was
bold as well as pious. When he heard
that his friend five miles away was
talking through the instrument, he
made dash at it. He was greatly ex-
cited and yelled in a megaphone voice.
He thought we were tricking him, but
here was his friend talking Arabic He
rolled his eyes at me In a despairing
manner and then began search for
devils. being quite convinced that the
phone was an invention of satan.-In-

Cleaning Furniture.

Where a piece of furniture is very
much soiled and requires to be cleaned
and polished, first wash it thoroughly
with warm soapy water, washing only
a small surface at time and drying it
quickly by rubbing it hard with a fan
mel. Mix together one pint of linseed
oil and a half pint Of kerosene. wet a
flannel with the oil mixture and rub
the cleaned furniture. Rest half an
hour before taking a fresh piece of
hannel and then by vigorous rubbing
polish the wood until It shines like
glass. This will not injure the incest
wood and is an easy method of keeping
furniture bright. The odor soon disap-
pears if the windows are left open.

Unfortunate Deduction.

Sergeant Kelly Of the Irish bar in the
early years of the nineteenth century
used to indulge in a picturesque elo-
quence, racy of the soil, but unfortu-
nately he would sometimes forget the
line of argument and would always
fall back on the word therefore"
which generally led his mind back to
what he had intended saying. Some.
times, however, the effort was almost
disastrous.
One time he had been complimenting
the jury, assuring them that they were
men of extraordinary intelligence and
then branched off into a statement OF
his case. With wave of his hand and
smile on his face he proceeded:
"This is so clear a case, gentlemen
that am convinced you felt it so the
very moment stated it. | should pay
men of intelligence poor compliment
to dwell on it for minute, therefore
shall proceed to explain it to you as
infinitely as possible. "-Green Bag.

When brought to bay, the kangaroo
jumps like a fash for the hunters
chest and tries to crush 1t in with his
fore feet. To prevent this each man
wears across his breast a two or three
inch thick mating. Armed with a
spear, with a club attachment at the
other end, they ride upon swift horses
into herd.
With the agility and equipoise of cir
Gus riders they stand erect upon their
horses and use their spears and clubs.
The kangaroo is able to jump clear
over a horse. AS the game is bagged
1t Is skinned, and the skin is stretched
on the ground and pegged down to pre-
vent shrinkage. The flesh furnishes
meat for the camp.
Each man places his private mark
upon his booty, and when they have
100 apiece they return back to civiliza-
ton. There are 20 varieties of kanga-
roos. among them the blue, red walla-
by, black, gray and forester, the latter
furnishing the best leather, as it lives
mainly In wooded sections.

ORIGIN Of the word Mcannan ;,

On April 20, 1854. Jacques Cartier
sailed from st. Malo, Brittany, with
two ships and 81 men, for Labrador,
skirted Newfoundland, named Chaleur
bay, crossed the eastern end of Anti
cost and then headed for France
again. The next year Cartier returned
with three ships, thought he saw in
the st. Lawrence the wished for pas
sage to India and was only undeceived
by the freshness of the water on reach
ing the mouth of the Saguenay. Then
was revealed the majestic size of the
continent, for, with the exception of
the Amazon and the Orinoco, no Amer
lean river gives one such a sense of
power and grandeur
AS the Frenchmen inquired the
names of the Indian villages along the
banks they were answered Canada"

His Unlucky Day.

Even the least superstitious are often
struck by the misfortunes which at
tend some persons on certain dates. A
large firm in the city has in its employ
a living instance of the fact. On June
IL an employee lost his left arm by
coming in contact with machinery.
The accident disabled him for his then
employment, and he was given that of
a messenger. On another June IL he
was run over in the Strand while on
an errand-result, broken leg. The
next accident was a fall on the stairs
In the firms buildings, again June II;
the right arm broken this time. The
fourth mishap on another anniversary
broke three ribs. The firm took the
case into consideration and issued an
order that in future the employee was
to take holiday on that date, an order
with which he has now complied for
several years.-London Chronicle

Pay For Immortality.

An interesting suit that will be
watched with keen personal interest by
several prominent citizens of Sacra-
mento was filed yesterday in the court
presided over by Township Justice Jay
r. Brown. The title of the action,
George B. Henry VS.. Silas Penny, con-
tains no suggestion of the facts involved
in the action. The real plaintiff is the
Moss Engraving Company of New
York. After the Street Fair of 1901 an
enterprising person proposed to get up
picture made up of scenes from the
fair which would be conferred by the
presentments of the faces of such Illus
trious persons as might not be averse
to contributing S25 each for the honor.
Among these was Silas Penny, a gen.
tleman whose opinion upon sundry SUBJ
jects occasionally is emblazoned in the
newspapers. Mr.. Penny was willing to
be enrolled among the immortals, and,
it is alleged, signed a contract agreeing
to pay $25 for the enrolment.
The Moss Company allege that Mr..
Penny refused to comply with the con-
tract, his desire for immortality
through the medium of photographic
art having seemingly faded in face of
the cost of it.
There are quite number of citizens
on the roll of that Street Fair remem-
brance who fail to regard their bargain
any more lightly than Penny, but who
signed contracts and will have to stand
by them.-Sacramento News.

stock Market Tips.

Does 1t ever Occur to those who fol-
loW journalistic tips on the stock mar
ket that they are written by men who
find it worth their while to follow an
arduous and moderately remunerated
profession and that therefore the tip
ster obviously cannot trust to his tips
for livelihood?
Is it conceivable that any one whose
judgment of the movements of securi-
ties was sufficiently trustworthy to
make even the majority of his shots
bullseyes would waste his time by
compiling paragraphs for newspapers?
Would he not rather spend half an
hour or so in the morning at the end
of a telephone instructing his broker
to buy and sell and devote the rest Of
his day to the graceful consumption of
the boundless fortune that his knowl-
edge and acumen would, ex hypothesl,
inevitably provide?
And tips from stockholders come I'M
der the same suspicion, for it is not
reasonable to suppose that one who
really had tips worth following in his
possession would utilize them as bats
for clients who reward his efforts with
beggarly half crown per cent-COrp-

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The Sum-

All Doctors have tried to cure
Catarrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous
membranes causing them to crack open
and bleed. The powerful acids used in
the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers
have aimed to cure, while pastes and
oiutments cannot reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made close
study and speciality of the treatment of
Catarrh, has at last perfected treat
ment which, when faithfully used not
only relieves at once, but permanently
cures Catarrh, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing all
inflammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reaches
the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy is known as "Snuffles the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure, and is sold
at the extremely low price of one dol
