How TO Get Rich.

Perhaps there Is no sentiment so
universal as the desire to accumulate
or become rich. 1t Is so universe!
that only the exceptions escape 1t.
In many it becomes intensified into
sorvid passion. Those who are born
rich or who inherit riches are anxious
to multiply and increase them, and
those who begin in poverty are aux-
ious to accumulate a competency.
Riches are only relative. What would
be riches for one man would not be
riches for another What would be a
vast iortLue for one man would be
considered abject poverty for another.
But in this country 1t Is possible for
even the poorest to become we'll of or
rich. N matter what the beginning,
and the lower down the better, II Is
possible for any one who Is not pur-
sued by persistent and continuous III
fortune to become wealthy II he Is
willing to pay for fortune the price
demanded, Men of superior business
ability and who engage In business OF
any character are sure to accumulate.
They could not avoid accumulstiug.
They are blest with force superior
to that with which the average oil
their fellowmen Is endowed, and this
superior strength enables them, per-
haps unconsciously, to get the best Of
every bargain they may engage In.
Accumulated wealth gathered togeth-
er in this manner represents merely
the aggregated difference between the
buying and the selling price. The
greater the price obtained for an arti-
Gle sold or disposed Of. and the small
err the price Of the same when pur-
chased, the greater will be the for
tune. Men OF transcendent genius
may have legal title to millions and
command multiplied millions, but
they can rot b Snnsiieied' rich

Notwithstanding the many misrepresen-
tations and ISLANDERS uttered by outsiders,
concerning the conditions OF the State, IL Is
nevertheless a fact that the supremacy OF the
law In Kentucky to-day is such as to give
every citizen perfect a guarantee OF pro-
lection to life, liberty OF properly as can be
found in any state in the Union"
The above is a clipping from Beck
hams message. No denial need be
enjoined- everybody knows it Is false
including the young Governor.
Does the young executive approve
the conduct OF the Cantrillian courtsi
Does he mean to say that when Can
trill refused to leave the bench, when
proper affidavit was filed, guarantee
of justice, or conviction, that Caleb
Powers would be given fair and i'm
partial trial, that he would not be de-
prived Of his life without due process
of law? The whole of the above il
false, it's all bosh.

H0WARD'S TRIAL
Court 0verrnles Motion for Con-
tinuance Made by Attor-
s4 neyS for Defense.
THE GIST OF HIS AFFIDAVIT


ard will be tried at this term of the
Circuit Court for the murder OF Will
lam Gcebel. Judge Cantrill this af-
terrcon overruled the motion of the
defendant to continue the hearing and
ordered that the trial proceed. The
Commonwealth admitted that How
ards absent witnesses, if present,
would testify TO the statements set
forth In the affidavit which was sub
mitted by the defendants counsel
this morning. This forced the defen-
dant into trial and the court ordered
attachments for all of Towards wit
nesses who did not answer when their
names were called. Nearly all the
Commonwealth witnesses are now
here. Among them are F. Wharton
Golden, who came from Colorado; w
II. Culton, Isaac Hopkins and num-
erous Bakers and Garrards, of Clay
county, who have always been OPP
posed to the White Howard faction,
and who claim that they are in pos
session OF positive information that
Howard actually fired the shot that
killed Goebel. Among the witnesses
for Howard who are now In Frankfort
are former Assistant Secretary OF
State J. B. Matthews, of Somerset.
Mathews appearance as witness for
the defense has caused considerable
comment He was summoned as a
witness for the State In the last trial
of Caleb Powers in the Scott Circuit
Court, but could never be located,
Notwithstanding the fact that numer-
Gus persons were sent from George
town In search OF him. The subpoena
was never served on Matthews and he
escaped testifying.
1t Is expected that 1t will require
about twelve days to try Howard this
time. Judge Thomas r. Gordon, OF
Louisville, and Mr.. James Andrew
Scott, of Frankfort. will be the prison
er's active attorneys.
Attorneys Of the local bar say they
anticipate little difficulty In securing
a jury to try Howard.
When court convened this morning
at II o'clock the attorneys for the de-
tense announced that they had com
pleted their affidavit in support Of
their motion to continue the case.
care you ready to submit it?'
asked Judge Cantrill.
"Just as soon as the defendant reads
it," replied Judge Gordon.
Howard examined the document
carefully and it was then handed over
to the counsel for the Commonwealth

to read the affidavit which containeo

about the afidavitl" asked Judge
Cantrill.
Mr.. franklin arose and said: "Youi
h or or, subject to relevancy and com
potency, we admit that these witness
es If present would testify to the state
ments made herein. We object how
ever, to the Common wealth paying
the expenses here Of any OF the defen-
daut's abset witnesses, and we do not
believe that due diligence has been
shown In an endeavor to have these
witnesses here. We ask, your honor,
that this case be tried"

Judge Gordon spoke In support OF
he sffi iavit. He said Howard had
1ever asked for a continuance Of his
case before; that he had always been
ready to go to trial. He said the full
feet OF the testimony of the absent
witnesses could be had only by an ex-
animation before the jury, and this
vas apparently impossible. He said
ne did not want the testimony con-
Jained In the affidavit TO go to the ju-
~ as statements which would be made
oy the witnesses, but as facts. He
declared that due diligence had been
used toward bringing the witnesses
here, and that they were powerless.
1T is the opinion OF the court" be-
gan Judge Cantrill. that this case Is
n better shape to be tried now than
Il would at any future time. The
QUIT is willing to indulge the defend
mt in every way possible. and will dc
o. The processes OF the court are at
he disposal OF the dtiendat, and at
tachments can be issued at once for
absent witnesses. There is an album
lance OF time to bring them here. As
to the question OF the Stale paying
the expenses OF absent witnesses. the
court will be compelled to override
the motion. In one case which re-
member, the court allowed this to be
done upon the recommendation Of the
Commonwealth Attorney, but In
this case he has entered a vigorous
objection. Therefore, the motion is
overruled and the trial will proceed. "
After court adjourned Howard met
and shook hands with many Of his
friends from the mountains, who are
here to testify In his behalf. To a
Courier Journal correspondent How
ard said: IL am In better health than
ever was In my life, and am abso
lutely confident Of my acquittal."

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily

the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
