The heavy snow of last week has
been the cause of considerable side
walk talk, and as a result a few pc
titions have been presented to some
| lot owners requesting them TO clean
the snow from the walks in front of
their lots.
II rained some Friday, and for a
time the sidewalks were unusually
slippery. The sun afterwards came
out from behind the clouds and had
it not been for the snow the after
noon would have been like that Of
an ideal fall day.

Postmaster King receiveda a circu-
lar letter from Caleb Powers, form
er secretary of the State of Kentuc-
ky, asking him to assist IN securing
funds for the carrying on of his
third trial in the courts of that
State. Powers was indicted for
completely in the murder of Goebel,
the usurping governor Of Kentucky
and has twice been convicted of the
offense, but the supreme court on
both occasions has ordered new
trial, contending that the rulings
and evidence OF the lower court
were in error and were not war
ranted by the evidence. That Pow
ers had nothing to do with the
murder there is very little doubt,
but the murder was political one,
and each jury secured to try Pow
ers has been soliuly Democratic and
were predjudiced against all of the
Republican officials holding Office
at the time that Goebel attempted to
usurp the governor Office. Pow
ers has put all of his money, as we'll
as all that could be raised by his
father, in paying for his defense and
appeals in previous trials and he is
now calling upon Republicans all
over the country to assist him in
securing counsel and paying ex-
penses of witnesses in the third
trial.
The supreme court has issued a
writ OF quo warranto to test the
valinity of the incorporation of the
village Of Lucan, this county, At
torney Eckstein having secured the
same last Thursday. The writ is
made returnable on Jan. 5th, al
which time the newly elected Off
GERS will have to show by what
right the incorporation, or they, ex-
ist. In case they do not make a
satisfactory showing the whole
proposition will be declared void.
