1t is often said that oratory is on the de-
cline. but this is not true. Eloquence is as
much appreciated as ever, as is shown by
the crowds who assemble to hear every
good talker who consents to address the
public. But people read much and think
for themselves. While they applaud wit
even when it seeks to gild a fallacy, they
reserve the right to form their own con-
clusons. But the statesman who has the
art of agreeably voicing his own convic-
tions is still at distinct advantage, and it
is only when he seeks to use this advantage
at the expense of his own conscience that
he falls under suspicion.

Venice.
Is Venice falling in the sea?
Oh town of glorious lore

Is Venice falling in the sea?
Oh town of glorious lore,
Your splendors as they used to be
Shall we behold no more?
If ruthless Time makes this mistake
Which ages will regret,
We'll turn our hopes unto the lake,
We've got Chicago yet
In dreamy pictures you've been done
Like some transcendent myth,
By Smith and Jones and Robinson
Particularly Smith.
And eager poets seem to find
Sweet lingering measures set
. Within thy walls. But never mind:
We've got Chicago yet.
The lofty pile which scrapes the sky
In Illinois well rear,
And watch the tug it's errand ply
With smutted gondolier
And as for art and literature,
They'll grow out west, YOU bet.
Though Venice totters insecure,
We've got Chicago yet.

A Hung Jury.

The jury in the case Of George
Cooksey for killing Ralph Marcum,
which was on trial when the NEWS
went to press last week, resulted
In a hung jury. The verdlcts OF
the jurymen are said TO have var
led all the way from acquittal to a
heavy penalty. The defense rails
ed the question as to whether the
shot that killed Marcum was fired
by Cooksey or some one else, and
the jury was evidently badly mix
cd on this point.
This has been a busy term OF
court, and the docket will hardly
be completed. The juries were dis
charged Tuesday.
The oldest case ON the docket,
that of Fulkerson VS. Large, which
began In 1877, occupied the court
Tuesday and Wednesday. About
900 acres of land are involved in
the controversy.

5000 freight cars, 100 engines of
the latest and largest type, %
coaches and SIX baggage cars. The
freight cars and engines will DO

lively short time. The placing
OF this order is In anticipation
OF the immense business the N. &

the double track Is completed from
Konova to Columbus. The coach
os which will be OF a very hand
some design, will be used oXclus-
lively from Kenova to Columbus
The baggage ears are badly needed
as we'll as tho freight ears owing to
the immense amount OF freight
business carried on this section oil

Tho order is said to be one of the
largest In the history Of The n. &

House, OF national reputation, used
the following complimentary Ian

young Democrat who redeemed

Congress; 80
"rhe Hon. James n. Kehoe, OF
the Ninth Kentucky district, has
been unanimously renominated, an
honor worthily bestowed. Kehoe
is one OF the brightest young men
In the House, an indefatigable
worker, a most excellent public
speaker and Democrat without
guile. Kehoe redeemed the dis
trict in 1900 which for several terms
had been misrepresentcd by Re-
publican. In fact the Republicans
have elected more Representatives
from this district since the war
than the Democrats. Keboe car
ried 1t by the skin of his teeth in
1900. He ought to be- reelected by
a large majority, for a more faith
ful Representative never sat in the
House in Washington. He looks
after the interests OF his constitu-
ents.-Democrats and Republicans
too. He attends faithfully to his
duties In the House itself and
looks after the wants of,his constit-
uents in the departments.
Democrats Republicans alike
hear witness to the faithfulness OF
Mr., Kehoe as the Representative
o The whole people, and reports
from all parts of tho district indi-
cate that he will be invlnclble in
