The oratorical contest last night AT
the opera house was well attended and
highly enjoyed by all who were pres
ent Purcell, Davis and ArdmOrc were
each represented with a boy and girl
as contestants for the medals. There
were two medals given away-one to
the best male speaker and one to the
best female speaker.
The first speaker on the program
was Barth Ingalls, OF Davis, who
spoke of How Girls Fish. Master
ingalls, seemed to be about s or 10
years old and delivered his speech
well and was applauded by ten whole
audience.
No. 2 was Holcomb l.atting of Pur-
cell. who told us of THE Signing of
the Declaration OF Independence
Here was masterful speech. The
young man was about 10 or IL years
lold. and spoke in clear, ringing tones,
pronouncing every word distinctly.
| His gesticulation was splendid, and
when he had finished the house ap-
plaued him long and loud.
No. g was Miss Fannie Thompson
of Ardmore, who portrayed to the aud
ience How Old Folks Won the Races.
| Miss Thompson Is a young lady about
10 or lG years old, handsome and
! graceful. she made "A splendid speech
and received round after round OF ap-
plause. and we believe she would have
won the medal If she had not talked
quite so fast. thereby making her talk
hard to catch.
No I was Ethel Fox of Purcell who
spoke OF Bette and Bear Little
| Miss Ethel Fox is about years old
and came 90 the front with a graceful
bow. and while her speech was of a
simple nature she spoke It with "A clear
voice loud and distinct, and you could
understand every syllable she utter
ed Her gesticulation was fine, her
sweet little face was bewitChing, and
many We're the comments on her
speech when she had finished
No. was Miss Myrtle ChtwOod OF
Davis. who spoke of the Night
Watch" Miss Chitwood was about Ia
or lG years old and made a splendid
speech, and had she spoken a little
louder and more distinct she would
have stood better chance of winning
the medal
No. 6 and the last on the program
was Oliver Hendrix OF Ardmore. who
spoke OF the Revolutionary times In
which figured The Black Horse and
Its Rider" Master Hendrix made a
splendid sueech his voice was splen
did, and could be heard throughout
the opera house. The only thing that
we think was lacking 20 make his
speech perfect was the lack of gestic
ulations. lie is bound To make a great
orator some day II he pursues his
studies along that line
After the speeches were all made, Q
committee, who had been previously
appointed, proceeded to compare hg
ures, and when they finally made M
. heir minds it was announced that Miss
Ethel Fox and Master Holcomb Lat
ting both of Purcell had won the two
prizes

On Monday we went to Owings-
vile, in the afternoon drove over
to Salt Lick where we spent the
night. If somebody does not give
attention to that defective bridge
on pike the county of Bath will
have a suit for damages, after a
serious accident wherein woman,
and two children have been killed
and her husband seriously crippled
because the horse stepped in one of
those openings or a plank struck
him and he ran away and demolish-
ed the carriage with above casual
ties.
We reached home on Tuesday
morning and in afternoon went to

We are identified with the party

not want the third term. They
won't have it and McKinley's

will not bring it about.

Jewell had a definition Of poll
tics. If his be true expose OF
politics and it conforms to the bi-
BILE definition of hell, truly politics
is to be dreaded. The Critic
has a word to say of politics
"Politics is jabber, would be a bet
ter dehnition-wind jabber. Poll
tics is chiefly boost, boast and
bombast. A politician is a whirla-
gig, which faces about with every
changing breeze, and is always re-
volving. 1t is no wonder that
politics is looked upon with such
odium and fear and that honest
men should shun it. "
The Critic in its definition leaves
out a word which defines the prac-
tical methods in politics and which
makes it the more odorous.

A GOOD MAN.

Several of the Democratic pa
pers Of the State have, spoken in
favor of w. B. O'Connell, of this
city, as a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Clerk of
the Court Of Appeals. II the
party want a man in every way
qualified for the position Mr..
O'Connell is the Democrat that
would fill the bill, and because Of
his Democracy and qualifications
we give testimony to the party
and urge that he he named.

Claude Chinnl let's see, isn't he
the man who was elected County
Clerk Of Fayette county by the
Democrats and who has been in so
much trouble recently? Well, if
this is the Mr.. Chinn who refused
to support Democratic nominees
recently and is now asking the Re
publicans to make him their nomi-
nee, the Republicans should con-
slider his claim on them. What is
it he possesses that is so much
like unto Republicanism.

SMALL Pox.

We will not give details of the
man who with a well developed
case of small pox rode to town
with his wife and was trading in
the store when the doctor informed
him that his disease was small pox
and told him to go home. This
occurred on the day we were in
jackson. The man did not know
he had small pox. Said his father
had the same for three weeks.
On the train coming down was
SIS Taulbee, County Clerk, en-
route to Covington as witness in
the Federal Court. We reached
home on Saturday night after spend
ing two hours at Dodge, Scholls-
Vile and at the residence of DR..
Combs.
The Democratic primary TO Sc
lect candidates for county offices
had recently been held. The
method of conducting the primary
has been severely criticised, es-
pecially by the present County
Judge, j. Wise Hagins, who was
a candidate for the nomination.
His dissatisfaction found express
ion in a hand-bill which spoke in
plain terms of fraud corruption
and ballot-box stufing.
We regret that there should
have been anything which would
cause or justify the publication of
such a remonstrance, whether the
fault be in Judge Hagins or in
those whose conduct he criticises.
If a man has been fairly de-
feated, let him graciously submit
and work for his successful oppo-
nent. He has no right to COM
plain. If frauds and downright
thefts have been perpetrated, there
ought to be protest-not by one
man only, but by hundreds.
Our opinion on such matters has
been frequently expressed, and we
presume our readers know where
we stand.

FACTS AND OBSERVATIONS
TO JACKSON AND OWlNGSvILLE.

We took dinner with Mr.. Floyd
Day. He has an interesting fami-
ly of five gir4s-all small. Mrs.
Day handed to us the babe. We
enjoyed nursing the sweet inno-
cence.
Mr. Day is, we presume, the
most extensive mill and lumber
man in eastern Kentucky and has
a fine trade.
We were pleased to meet Mack
Clark. He is a hustling business
man, but unmarried. On the
morning Of our call he had sold to
George Hon, of Winchester, for the
Reliance Manufacturing Co., of
that city, so car loads of lumber.
Mack is one of the "chief men, of
the Day Bros. Lumber Co.

GOVERNOR BEcKRAM.
Nice Things Said Abeut q eEea!
Man-His Mistakes Have
Been Few.

The following from the Frank
fort correspondent Of the Louis.
Vile Critic, we clip entirely.
1t is worth the reading and wor-
thy OF due consideration:
The Critics mention a few
weeks ago Of the fact that several
prominent lawyers had asserted
that Gov. ]. w. c. Beckham is
eligible to a second term seems
not only to have stirred up the
papers over the State, but the
politicians are discussing it every
where. AS yet Gov. Beckham
has given out no intimation as to
what his ambitions are for the fu-
tnre and he has not even medtion-
ed to his closest friends whether
or not he will try for the nomina-
ton, but this fact does not keep
the politician from talking. His
friends are delighted and there can
scarcely be found man in these
parts who does not say that he
will stand by Beckham as long as
he is candidate.
In speaking Of the matter the
other day several men who are
thoroughly familiar with the pre-
vailing conditions in the State,
said that Governor Beckham
would be hard man to beat, and
they gave as their reason that his
administration, so far, has been
one of the ablest, cleanest and
best ever experienced in the State.
They not only point out the fact
that he has been absolutely clean
and free from adverse criticism,
but that he has been wise in his
selection of good and fit men to
fill the numerous vacancies it has
been his lot to fill since he has
been in office. Then, too, they
say that. the .Lremoval Of DR.. Nc
Cormick. one of his own appoint
ees. and. a man from his section of
the State, shows that he. will ado
his duty it matters not who is
concerned. Gov. Beckham, they
assert, has issued fewer pardons
during the time ne has been in Of
fee than has any other Governor
in this State in the same length of
time. The Governors friends say
that few men would, during the
troublesome times following Gov.
Goebels assassination, have acted
so cautiously and consistently.
His calling of an extra session of
the legislature and asking for a
law which would suit both parties
alike is said by his friends to
be one of the strongest points in
his favor and they believe his un-
usual party service should be rec
ognized by a second nomination.

Of the Eighth District, was in the

view of the political situation in
the State and in conversation with
friends he said that he felt certain

it had been for some time and
that there are abundant evidences

On Wednesday morning about 3
O'Clock the residence on j. G..
Trimble's farm, neaf the city, on
the Owingsville pike, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire. A de-
fective chimney is supposed to be
the cause. The building was oc-
cupied by Robert f. White and
family. He was on the Licking
river fishing at the time. But lit
tie of the household goods was
saved by the family, as the fire
was under Roadway when discov-
cred and access to the upstairs was
prevented. Hoffman's agency car
ried a policy for 81 X.

CHANGE IN OFFICERS.
kalispeIl Cadets Select a New CAP.

The kalispell Cadets, composed
principally of high school students
have elected a new captain, it having
been the unanimous opinion that the
best interest of the organization de-
mand that the drill master be select
ed captain.
This necessitated the resignation
of the officers who had been elected.
A new election was held which result
ed in the reelection of those who had
been selected as officers at the first
meeting. All, however. will fill
positions one grade lower than they
first held.
The officers as they now stand are
captain. Il. N. Eaton: first leuten-
ant, Percy +. Dodds; second lieu
tenant, Glare Lovelace; first SER
geant. Ralph Hammond; second SER
geant. John Mccormick and corporal.
Carl Willis.
r. N. Eaton was the unanimous
choice of the cadets for
captain. An effort is being made
to secure for drilling purposes
the sixty rifles and other equipment
now in the city. A petition is being
prepared which will be forwarded to
Governor Toole requesting that they
be turned over to the cadets.
