Second TRIAL ENDED.
Caleb Powers Again Receives 9
Life Sentence.
Attorneys For Defense Made Mo.
tion For Another Trial. But II
WINS Overruied-May Go to
the Appellate Court.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 2s.--For the
second time jury of 12 men Saturday
gave Caleb Powers n life sentence in
the penitentiary for conspiracy to
murder william Goebel. The jury
was given the Indictment and instruc-
tions, and retired at $3.50 Saturday
afternoon to make a verdict. Very
few of the immense crowd present
left the courtroom, but waited and
anxiously watched the door Of the
jruy room.
At 1904, just A minutes after retir-
ing juror opened the door and noti-
fed deputy sheriff that verdict
had been reached. They filed into
their accustomed seats, and death.
like hush pervaded the audience.
"Gentlcmen, have you made q yer.

Calvert, q schoolmate of Powers, who
had been made foreman. The slip of
paper containing the verdict was
handed to the clerk, who read: 1--WE,
the jury, find the defendant guilty,
and fix his punishment at confinement

At 4:3O Judge Sims filed the grounds
and motion for a new trial, which
were overruled. The grounds were
that the jurymen were all democrats;
that Judge Cantrill should have va.
Gated the bench, and should have
granted n continuance. Judge Can.
trill then sentenced Powers, and
when asked II he had any reason for
not being sentenced, said he had reu.
sons, but would not give them now.
His attorneys prayed an appeal to the
court of appeals. and were given ill
February to file bill of exceptions.
Powers was remanded to the Frank.
fort Jail for safe-keeping, and was
taken there Saturday night.

A NEW THREE-CENT PIECE.
Uncle Sam Proposes IA Coin with n
Hole in the Centre.

Hole in the Centre.
Uncle Sam, it is said, is to coin new
scent piece. The new coin is to be Of nick
el, ana its radical difference from all 9th
er coins with Uncle Sans mint mark on
them lies in the fact that it will have
hole in the centre. 1t is the supposltion
that this hole in the middle Will enable
the hurried handler of the coin to detect
its value by the sense of feeling. Some
such safeguard is considered necessary
for the reason that it is to be about the
size and weight Of the present scent
piece. The size Of the centre hole in the
proposed coin will be large enough to
make it merely a ring of metal, this hole
being about One-half the diameter OF the
coin. 1t viii prevent one Of the difficult
ties which handlers OF small silver coins
were troubled with when the metal money
began 20 circulate after the era of pa
per money. The small coins, which got
into the hands of children and some class
es in the remote districts, were treated
as curiOsities and great prizes. To secure
their safekeeping a faTorite method was
to punch a hole in them and tie them
on string This destroyed the circula-
tion value of the coins, and dealers who
subsequently took them in had to stand
the loss, fixed scale being finally ar
ranged for deductions for punched dimes
nickels, or other pieces. The new piece
can be strung without injuring IL.
IL is the general opinion Of Government
officials that there is no crying need for
an additional subsidiary coin of small
value and large bulk and weight, the s.
cent nickel piece being considered ample
TO meet the wants Of the people OF the
West. Bank people and treasury officials
have a very lively conception Of the
bother there is in handling the present
1-cent pieces the larger institutions get
ting hundreds Of pounds Of them some
times on hand The weight as well as
bulk cuts quite a figure in these cases,
and the addition Of another intermedi-
ate between the scent piece and The l.
cent piece would, It is believed. but add
TO this trouble. Vault room for storage
purposes and dIaying facilities would
have to be provided in proportion.
The old scent silver piece which was
coined several years ago did not meet
with popular favor, and it was found i'm
possible to keep It in circulation The
sub-treasury people fear thai the attempt
to put out a new one viii be but repeti-
tion of this experience.
In the West and Southwest the 1-cent
niece was slower in coming into favor
than in the East and the coinage Of tho
new piece is supposed to meet a demand
which the scent piece is too large for
and the I-eent too small. This would in
dicate. IL il is correct, that the Western
people are reiinquishing their old idea
that nothing less than ; cents was worth
counting in a business transaction -

BICYCLES OF
STRANGE FORM.
New Inventions Based on the Old
Models.
A BIKE" FLYING MACHINE.

FornIs-A Machine That VIII Sail
With the Wind-Baby Carriages
and Lawn Mowers.

In spite of the fact that the jokemak
ers declare bicycles were mentioned as
far back as the days Of Nathan and Bath
sheba, when David gave his safety into
the keeping OF the Lord" the up-tO- date,
perfectly equipped wheel is decidedly a
modern invention. True. the bicycle can
be traced back to the fifteenth century.
but in so crude and undeveloped form
that one could not. even by stretch Of
the imagination, trace in it a semblanee
to those now in vogue.
1t is not the purpose OF this article to
enter into any lengthy description Of the
rise and fall and again the ascending pop
ularity of the inYention-such would be
both unnecessary and tiresome. The bene-
hts derived from riding the wheel; the
medical opinions for and against and its
final acceptance into the mystic circle OF
the four hundred" have been volubly dis
cussed and extensively written up. lt is
safe 10 affirm, however, that even among
wheel enthusiasts, not half of them are
aware Of the many digressions and recent
queer inventions that have been founded
upon and constructed in the ordinary
wheels name. Some Of these are really
practical and have commended themselves
to far seeing men but the greater ntslber
are at once ridiculous and absolutely i'm
possible from practical standpoint.
Take, for example, the bicycle built not
such a long time ago by New York
hardware man. which was constructed
from implements of various kinds from
his stock. The wheels were made from
circular saws and the hande-bar OF
nickel-plated stove rod; dog chain serv-
ed as a sprocket chain. and SO on, and so
on. until the wheel was completed. But
the climax was capped when the some
what questionable genius Of TIE inventor
made two grindstone eranks serve Tor
cranks and pedals Needless to add, this
remarkable wheel never made longer
trip than from the workshop to the show
window.
Another idea which proved NOR prac-
teal was that of a steam bicycle, invent
ed by Sylvester H. Roper, of Boston. Sue

THE KAISER'S BLOOD TAX"

The time is ripe for the metamorpho-
sis of swords and eannons into farming
implements. Unfortunately the great
peace of the world is as far as OF as ever.
What with the Chinese puzzle. the Turkish
and middle African problems yet unsol-
we'd, and the situation in the Western
Hemisphere in a bad state, one can hardly
blame the German Emperor for keeping
up the efficiency of his enormous stand
ing army.
The mighty mass of 100000 of men are
at the beck and call of Kaiser William as
war lord of Germany The German State
begins to lay its hand on the compulsory
service of its young men at the age OF
seventeen, when they are enrolled In the
landsturm or home reserve to the end OF
their twentieth year. This service, how
ever, except during actual war, is
more nominal than real. The service prop
er begins at the twenty-first year and
ends in March in the year in which the
man becomes thirty-nine years OF age.
Thus every German is liable to active
service for the best nineteen years OF
his life. He belongs to the standing army
for seven years, three of which are spent
in the cavalry, and horse artillery and four
in the reserves, or two in the other arms.
with FIVE in the reserve. The two or three
years with the oolors," or in regular SER
vice, are periods of ineessant hard work.
At the age of twenty-five or twenty
three the now trained man returns to his
home. from which, in the majority OF
cases. he has not been far distant, but
until ne is twenty-eight he still belongs
to the active army After that he is
Of the first levy of the landwehr, or ac-
tive reserve, for three years in the
mounted arms and five in the dismounted
and in the second levy until he is On tho
verge of forty years Of age.
Nor is he even then free from the
operation of "the blood tax" AS he has
been from seventeen to twenty in the
first levy of the landsturm, so he goes
10 the second levy until he has completed
his forty-ffth year. There is an Er-
satZ'' reserve from seventeen to forty
five of men who do not undergo train
ing under arms. though some sort OF
training but since there have been the
recent increases in the annual contin-
gents for the lighting forces the Ersatz
reserve is now composed mainly OF men
with certain physical infirmities. who do
work in the medical or administrative
services.

matters. At any rate, it is but another
curiosity added to the already long list
of odd things in wheels.
Count Magre, Mrs Tom Thumbs hus-
band. is said to have ordered the smallest
bicycle ever made. The wheel is but four
teen inches high. the frame ten inches.
and the entire weight only ten pounds.
OF course special dies had to be made. 1t
is also stated that when the count was
told it would cost him $3.50 no held up his
hands in protest, but the countess put
down the cash.
A cycling mirror that may be fastened
to the handle-bars and so enable the rider
to see what is coming behind: a new BIZ
cycle lock and a new bicycle brake; a
simple device to enable one to light
lamp in a strong wind; bicycle steps for
assisting the rider in starting. and an in
genius arrangement combining saddle and
tool-box are among the latest aCquisi-
tions toward the whee!er's comfort.
A good many cyclists travelling abroad
have complained of the exorbitant rates
charged for transporting wheels frcm one
country to another An enterprising
American, however, recently sent his BIZ
cycle from London to Paris by parcel
post. The cost only amounted to a few
pence, and he received his wheel in per-
feet order.
ne DlCyCiS SKATES, lnOuSn, are actually
here, and now and then are seen used by
some especially daring person. They cost
at present about $40, but those who use
them say that they are TO be recommend
ed for lightness and rapidity and the fact
that they may be folded up when not
needed
Perhaps the latest marvel however. in
the wheel world. and one which is wholly
practical, is the big decuple bicycle in
vented by William Van Wagner The ma
chine. when completed, weighed 150
pounds, ana was able to carry about 700
pounds. 1t is intended TO be steered by
the man in front, and is geared accord

Daily babies are SEEN swung like bun
dies in front of their proud and enthusias-
tic parents Even dogs have been taught
TO sit properly on the front seat Of 4 tan
dem. their forepaws resting on the han
dlebars. The world is wheel mad. There
are bicycles constructed for whole fami-
lies; there are bicycles made for three
year-olds. W no insist that they be taught

A fsvorite canard issued by each of the
parties in hot Indian campaign is to ac-
cuse some of the candidates Of favoring
the sale Of their country to the white
men or the repeal of the intermarriage
law, which would allow all classes Of
white men to marry their girls. Nothing
is so likely to bring candidate into dis
favor as proof that he is at heart a sym
pathizer with progress. The fullbloods in
way dominate the election, and shrewd
bosses seek the favor of the fuilbloods
rather than the halfbreeds. All of the In
