]. B. MARCUM, an attorney of Jack
son, B. eathitt county, KY, was killed
a few days since by an assassin, who
shot him in the back as he came out
of the court house. The deed was
one that has sparaiyzed the communi-
ty. Three men saw the deed and
know the assassin, but are afraid to
tell who he is, for they know it will
be death to them if they tell, as the
murder is only an incident of feud-
al war there. What a lovely country
to live in, a Fiji islander cannibal
wonld certainly feel very much al
at home in Kentucky.

THE Democratic papers are still
brewing trouble for the REPUBLI-
CANS, or trying to. by saying that
Senator Hanna will be candidate
for President, after he is elected
Senator, and that for this reason nc
resolution will be offered at the com
ing Republican State Convention
endorsing Roosevelt. This is pretty
little story that leaves out of sight
Senator Hanna's repeated declara
tions that he is not and will not be {
candidate, and the other potent fac
that he is man of much politica
sagacitY.

Mattings.

At money saving prices, possibly 90
rolls to-day to choose from; we save
you &c yard on cotton chains; you
buy here at 20c what usually retails at
25c; it is the same way with the heavy
quality OF China mating; the block
patterns you buy here for 25c that re-
tail at SOC in other stores; it's the
same way in the cheaper numbers,
you buy the 121zc grade for 10c here.
Some new things opened in mattings
in Jap goods, they are light weight,
fine in texture and choice designs.
We, however, advocate the heavy
weight China mattings for hard wear,
neat designs at popular prices, 15 to
25c. Let us show you through the
stock before you make your purchase;
it's to your interest where you can
save money; you are paying cash, it
is the way we sell goods; you are not
helping pay for anybody's bad debts
in this store. ID. M. ASEAT.

Voice From the PULPIT.

Resolutions unanimously adopted
by the Ministerial Association of Lo-
gan county, Ohio:
Whereas, The Lords day is for rest
and worship; and,
Whereas, The day is so often pro-
famed by secular labor and recrea-
ton; and,
Whereas, Excursions by land and

common, especially in the Summer

plore the fact that so many patron

Keep TIE Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any dis
turbance of the even balance of health causes
serious trouble. Nobody can be too careful
to keep this balance up. When people begin
to lose appetite. or to get tired easily, the
least imprudence brings on sickness. weak
ness. or debility. The system needs a tonic
Graves IL, ami should not be denied It.; and
the best tonic of which we have any knowl-
edge is hoods Sarsaparills. What this med
icine has done In keeping healthy people
healthy, in keeping up the even balance OF
health; gives 1t the same distinction as pre-
ventive that 1t enjoys as a cure. Its early US,
has illustrated the wisdom of the old sayinl
that stitch In time saves nine. Take Hood.
for appetite, strength, and endurance.

The Examiner speaks of the RE-
PUBLICAN's Sensational" article
about deficit in the Gas and Elec-
tric light works, of $4,000. The edi-
itor of the Examiner knew there was
nothing sensational about our article,
and that our figures were under the
mark. Mayor Haviland informs us
that the works are behind SIC. 900 in
stead of s13, 1000, and he knows what
he is talking about. The REPUBLI
CAN is not a sensational sheet, but
gives the facts. The amount we gave
as the Indebtedness of the works was
the amount shown by the certificates
of Indebtedness in one bank. They
came to US through the City Audi.
tors office, and we verified them. be.
fore publishing. And the Examiner
knew they were true when it pub
lished the article calling ours 'sen
sational." The Examiner goes on tC

knows that all debts are ''anticipa
