Roasted to complete excellence
skillfully carved and served with relishes
and favors most gratifying to the palate,
is the way in which the Mems Club of
the Congregational church disposed of
over two hundred and fifty pounds of
turkey at their supper last Friday even
ing. 1t was sumptuous entertainment
of eating and social intercourse which
few clubs wholly composed of men could
plan and carry out with such perfection
in every detail. The tables were neatly
and plentifully spread, the vegetables,
salads, rolls and coffee were all match
lessly prepared and served in a pleasing
and prompt style. The male walters
were active and always alert to the
wants of the guests, so that when once
seated there was no unnecessary delay
in appeasing the sharpened appetites.
The proceeds of the evenings entertain
ment amounted to something over sixty
eight dollars, and we're very satisfactory
to the club. Each year the Mems Club
of this church give an annual turkey
feast" and as previously announced it is
a one dollar dinner for twenty-five cents
The people of Edgerton are always quick
to appreciate good thing, and for this
reason the ANIMALS of the Mems Club
are always literally patronized and high
" appraised for their entertaining feat
ures and moral worth.

STRONGER CASE
Made Out Against Powers Than
Before.
New Witnesses Reveal All the
Details of the Con-
spiracy.

Georgetown, KY, October 19. ~
Sensational testimony was intro
duced in the trial of Caleb Powers
yesterday One after another were
presented, witnesses who laid bare
to the jury in more concise and
connected form than in any of the
previous trials the details of the
conspiracy alleged. w. H. Culton
told of early plotting and of plans
to start general shooting in the
Senate chamber, in which Goebel
and other Democrats we're to be
killed, but this was called off by
Charles Finley on the day decided
upon. Finley said: "Culton don t
start the trouble to day. Gen. Duke
says other arrangements have been
made to settle the natter" Former
Chief Justice Hazelrigg testified that
Leander Guffy, son ofJustice Guffy,
warned him at 10 o'clock OF the
day Goebel was shot that 1.-THE boys
had decided the night before to kill
him" (Hazelrigg). Sherman Stiv-
ers, who was Republican assistant
postmaster at Paris, testified that
Postmaster John L. Bosley had
told him on his return from Frank
fort four days before the assassina-
ton that 1--WE have arranged to raid
the Kentucky Senate tomorrow, -
and that Goebel, among others,
would be killed and that five trust
ed men had been secured to do the
work. The next day Bosley told
him the plan was abandoned be-
cause the presence of deputy sher-
ifs made it impossible to get the
men in the chamber, and that "we
have arranged another plan.
Sherman Stivers was corroborated
by his brother Rufus, also an en-
Ploye of the Paris post-ofice and a
friend OF Bosley. The testimony
adduced yesterday Implicated all
the men under indictment and 9TH
ers. The Commonwealth will rest
its case to-day. The defense moved
to abandon the night sessions on
account of Powers health, but the
affidavit was neither sworn to nor
signed by the attorneys, and Judge
Cantrill over-ruled It.

A PROSPEROUS TRUST.

The par value Of share Of stock in
the Standard oil company " 800.
Since tine republican victory Of 1895,
the market ya.ll5 VI StGuuarG Til z575viz
has been steadily increasing. Soon
after the election OF 1896 this stock
WAS quoted at 500 per share. In Feb
ruary, 1889, it sold Tor s439 per share ;
in February, 1900, IT sold at 1912 per
share; in september OF l90O 1t dropped
back to 5000 per share. But after "con-
fidence" was once more restored by a
republican victory, this stock went
up 10 $500 per share. In January, 1901, i,
it sold for S194. On February 1, II
sold at sS0j, and the latest quotation
at hand Is SSlb.
When one reads the record ol recent
dividends declared by this great con-
Germ, il il not difficult to understand
why the market value OF the stock has
increased go rapidly.
The capital stock OF the Standard Oil
company is 500, 900, 900. In 1891 i,
1892, 1893, 1894 and 1895. the Standard
oil company paid dividends amounting
for each year to sl2 on each share OF
stock In 1896 the dividends amounted
10 s3l per share in 1897 they were
x33 per share; in the month OF jan
uary. 1900. they were $50 per share
in \ prii. 1900, the dividends amounted
% 1 o per share; in July. s. per share ;
in Noycm Der, SO per share; and the
company has now declared a dividend
payable March - Of $40 per share.
This latest dividend means the pay
ment OF SO, 0O0 600 upon the 500, 900, =
