RHYTHMIC
THE BIGGEST WINNER.
The Blind Horse From Kentucky
Made the Record for the Grand
Circuit,

The Grand Circuit races have
closed, with Jesse Turney's brown
horse rhythmic, 2:0S, the biggest
winner Of the year. He started al
most exclusively in stake engage
ments, he was raced at ten meet
ings, not being started at either
Cleveland or Reedville, and won
total of $21 $50. The only tim
he was behind the money was at
Providence, where he was distanc-
ed, but three weeks later he won
first and third moneys by distanc-
ing one of the two other starters
in the race with him. Rythmic's
winnings were over 1000 larger
than those of Electa, 2:064, who
stood at the head of the table last
year.
Close behind rhythmic in money
won this season is Ed Geers phe-
nomenal PAGER, Direct Hal, 2 2.O44,
who was, like the blind Rythmic,
an unmarked performer at the
opening of the season Direct
Hal started out by winning the
Chamber of Commerce Stake, at
Detroit, and not only won more
races than uny other horse started
in the Grand Circuit company, but
accomplished the feat of winning
every race in which he was par
ticipant.
The California mare Amelia,
2:074, by Antrim, ranks next TO
the two leaders, with total of
$14, $50, and close behind Amelia
is the bay gelding, Major Delmar,
winner of the Massachusetts $I5,-
600 stake The only other horse
in the list winning over $4,000 is
Twinkle, 2:05, stable companion
of the mighty rhythmic. The su-
perior earning capacity of the trot-
ter over the lateral-gated PAGER is
we'll demonstrated by the fact that
of the first twenty animals in the
list, not less than thirteen are trot-
ters.

These lines we're published in

les, on the morning after Gen
John A. Logan was elected to the
United States Senate after hard
fight and a dead lock of three
months in the Illinois Legislature.
They are not only worth tacking

and principle that should enter

Though days be slow
And nights be dark 'twixt days

A Disreputable Old Kinu,

So old King Leopold is planning
a visit to America
If justice should be done; if the
matter of international courtesy
was not deemed of more Importance
than mere morals, the old monarch
should be notified that America
does not want him; that he will
not be welcome.
He is dirty, disreputable King.
There isn't clean spot on his
robes. He has no respect for mod
esty, virtue, decency-for good
women and clean men.
There are many bad Kings in
Europe. Some of them are very
bad. King Leopold is the worst.
His people fear MIN and hate him.
Queen Victoria dispised him
What is the trouble?
WOMEN.
His life has been debauch.
He has had mistresses by the hun
dred. He has repeatedly robbed
his people to gain money for some
of the vilest creatures who ever
disQraced their seX
incidentally, he made the life of
his wife one long drawn out tor
ture. He disggsced her in all the
ways vicious mind could con-
ceive of.
She died the other day
Her death was release from
bondage.
What must King think when
a woman is glad to die to escape
from association with him, her hus-
band.
= If King Leopold comes to Ameri-
ca no woman should greet him,
Society should close the doors
against him.
If he must come, let him seek
his pleasure in the haunts where
painted smiles are sold to the high
est bidder, where lights and flow
ers can never hide the scarlet hand
of shame, and where music can not
dedden the groans of lost souls.
Best of all let him stay at home.
America can never feel honored by
the visit of such King.-Cincin-

1fy Dean SIR
Your name with three others of
your precinct have been given me
by your committeeman as true re-
publicans and hard workers for
your party, and that you four have
agreed to make house TO house
canvass Of your precinct; the first
canvass to begin at once, and in
making this canvass you must take
a poll OF the republicans only, CIV
ing me the names and post Office
address Of each, and mark each as
reliable. or doubtful, and etc, The
next canvass to be made the week
before the election; in making this
canvass, you must do it in a quiet
way so no one will know your bus
SinOs except our republican friends;
w$nt you to impress upon each
republican the Importance of com
ding to the polls and voting on No
'vember the 4th. And make him
pledge himself to be there; In max
ing the first canvass organize the
entire precinct in blocks of TEN,
and out of these TEN select one of
the best men to take charge of that
block, and that he will make can
vass Of these TEN men from time
10 time, and impress upon them the
Importance of voting this 4th of
November. Have him to see that
no Republican moves out of his pre-
cinct until after the election, and
at the same time keep tab of all the
democrats that move in or out of
wour precinct to keep them from
voting. We MUST have clean
vote if we win, and each man in the
sblock that is crippled or has no
Ihorse TO go to the polls must be
provided for, and brought out, the
man that takes charge of each
block, must have it understood
z@here they are to meet on the morn
ing of the election, and if one should
not be there, he MUST be sent for
immediately and persuaded to come
e~d vote.
tIon can state further that on
aoleount of the LIMITED TIME to
make THIS canvass that it is i'm
possible for me to see them all in
person, aud that requested you TO
make THIS canvass.
My idea is for you four, includ-
ing your committeeman, to have
meeting at once and lay your plans
to get out every vote in your pre-
cinct. If this is carried out in
each precinct in THIS district there
is no doubt but that / will be elect
ed by handsome majority. ] do
hope that neither of you will shun
ONE DUTY TO YOUR PARTY
and take courage and build up
courage in each Republican, and
remember that MY FUTURE and
YOUR PARTY is in YOUR hands,
and / do hope you will take good
care of what has been entrusted to
you and do your WHOLE DUTY.
I think it BEST to divide the pre-
cinct into FOUR EQUAL PARTS,
or SCHOOL DISTRICTS. DON'T
put THIS work on one man, but /
WANT and MUST have four men
TO do THIS work
Thanking you In advance, and

Whitney and O'Brien
Confess the Murder Of Addison B. Chinn,
of Lexington
They Are Taken to Louisville to Escape Mob-Speedy Trial
Promsed--Death Sentence Should be Imposed

On Wednesday morning Earl
Whitney, an accomplice in the
murder of Addison B. Chinn, the
dry goods merchant of Lexington,
confessed that the deed was done
by him and his accomplice, Claude
o. Brien on Saturday morning pre-
ceeding, although he says O'Brien
fred the shot.
He tells of their coming to Lex
ington from Louisville, how on
Saturday night they entered the
houses of O. L. Slade and M. C.
Afford in Lexington and stole a
pistol from each place; that they
then went to the Chinn residence
be tells of the entrance through a
window, their going to Chinn's
room, their demand for money, the
reply from Chinn that there was
no money, but to get what they
wanted that Mr. Chinn while sit
ting on the bed was shot by O'Brien
with the Slade pistol of the fight
in the hall with the son, Asa
Chinn; of their escape from the
residence the throwing of three
pistols under tool house at the
Cincinnati Southern depot, and of
their hiding in freight car where
they were arrested. The pistols
were found as he said
When the fact was known that
a confession was made, excitement
began to grow, and by evening an
angry assembly was at the court
house clamoring for the prisoners
The danger of mob violence was
imminent, so the authorities hur-
ried the prisoners through the rear
of the Jail premises, and caught
the delayed c. d 0. express en-
route to Louisville, outside of the
city, (by arrangement with con-
ductor
The prisoners were landed at
the Louisville Jail. Enroute to
that city O'Brien also told of the
murder, but says that Whitney did
the killing.
At $3.50 p. m. on Wednesday,
Gov. Beckham, having been inform
ed that there was prospect for
mob, notified Capt. Williams to
have companies C. and NJ. of the
local MALTA in readiness for an
emergency call, but the men were
not called out because Of the pris-
oners' departure for Louisville.
In referring to the murder the
Lexington Leader of Wednesday
said.

a desire for the speedy vengence

that the minds of some will turn,
in the natural heat of the moment,
to thoughts of speedy and prompt
execution of the guilty parties
without arrangement, Indictment
or trial.
But this must not be.
Judge Parker says it must not
be; the County Judge, the Jailer
ana the entire constabulary of the
city and county say that it must

And they are right, for over
