TIRED OF BLIND TIGERS.

It is rumored around that the most
prominent people of jackson have be-
come so deeply interested in the well
fare of their city that they do not pro-
pose in future to suffer in business
way on account of prohibition sen.
timent that has heretofore prevailed
and have their city pointed at as the
hotbed of the blind tiger element.
They are of the belief that on account
of the bad name that has gone abroad
to the effect that jackson is headquar-
tiers for very large number of blind
tiger joints and gambling dens, they
propose to have the open saloon
which they consider much more pre-
ferable to the blind tiger joints and
which can be placed under the restric-
tions of the city authorities. They
have tried in manner. to break up
the blind tiger, hut it seems that
public sentiment while it does not
favor the blind tiger winks the other

Jackson, June Ex-Governor Lon
gino returns to the city early Sunday
morning from his campaign tour of
two weeks in the northern prat of the
state. At all points, according to the
press dispatches, he- was greeted by
large audiences, and has good cause to
feel encouraged over the prospects of
his senatorial candidacy.
The governor leaves Monday to re-
sumo his campaign. He will continue
actively on the stump until the en-
tire state has been thoroughly can
vassed For the past three weeks he
has been transacting official business
by long distance phone, keeping con-
stantly in touch with his office by this
method, and matters of minor impor-
lance sent him each day in the form
of daily reports, which he disposes of
whenever the occasion presents itself.
The governors campaign is the most
energetic that has been made in the
state for many years, and thus far he
is bearing up we'll under the strain.

Lawyer Byrd of Jackson, KY, coun-

some of the witnesses in very severe
terms and also the defendants, but he
concluded his argument by saying,

/ shall move my residence to Win
chester the shortest possible time.

A Copiah candidate says that he
does not believe he could do the people
of the county much good if elected to
the legislature, but he was satisfied
that he could remain perfectly quiet
and draw his pay promptly. There
is at least some commentator about
that, for the most of them cannot re-
main quiet and keep the public from
knowing that they are short on sense.

eye and the consequence is the officers
cannot get the proper support. Not
only this, N ~ who buy the stuff are
brought up before the courts or the
grand juries and almost forced TO tell
from whom they purchased whiskey
or forced to commit perjury. This is
hurtful to the business of the city
and the business men are beginning to
realize this fact, and they want q
change.
On the other hand it must be &C
knowledged that it is a complete back
down. 1t is an acknowledgement
that the blind tiger cannot be broken
up in Jackson, and if it cannot be
broken up there it cannot be broken
up in other towns and cities and the
people are at the mercy of it. And
as soon as it is learned that it cannot
be broken up in one town the beast
will multiply tenfold and soon there
will not be a village that will not
almost sell vhiskey openly and with.
ont any pretention to secrecy.

not suffered from lack of rain and the

This endorsement by the patent
bureau shows that Mr.. Heigler has
hit upon a practical machine. About
40 years ago congress prohibited the
patenting of perpetual motion ma
Chimes unless they could be put to
practical use. Mr. Zeigler took his
machine to Washington and illus
trated it, putting it to practical test
and the commissioners we're so pleased
with it that they told him that his ap-
plication would be filed and allowed.
MIR. Ieigler has model of the ma
chine in his Office and worked it for
your correspondent last night. It is
easy to see that the machine is in
every way practical and can be made
to generate any amount of power.
Mr.. Ieigler had u wire from his at,
torney in Washington yesterday an
nounoing that all foreign patents
had been secured He is still hard
at work perfecting his machine.

AiderS and AbettOrS.

Frankfort, Ky, April 10.-Henry
IL. Youtsey today for the first time,
told on the Witness stand his story Of
the killing of the late Governor Goe-
bel. He named Jas Howard, the de-
fendant, who fired the shot. Youtsey
said he saw Howard for the first
time few minutes before the shoot
ing. Howard had Il letter sent him
several days before by the witness at
Governor Taylor's dictation. Yout-
soy says he took Howard into the
office Of Caleb Powers, then Secre-
tary of State, which had been espe5
cially arranged for the shooting. He
showed Howard the Marlin rifle, the
bullets and tho window from which
the shooting WAS to be done. He
says Howard asked what he MAS to
got for doing the shooting.
'wHAT DO YOU WANT FOR IrY'
Youtsey says he asked, and that
Howard said he wanted pardon for
killing Geo. Baker.
81 told him he could have that
and more, too," said Youtsey "About
that time," said the witness, "Goebel
came in the gate and l pointed him
out to Howard and then ran from
the room. AS I Disappeared down
the steps to the basement L heard
the crack of Howard's rifle"
Youtsoy said that after tho shoot
ing he passed through the State
House basement and a few minutes
later came back into the Executive
building from the east side entrance.
II stayed in the office of Assistant
Secretary Of State Matthew'S" said
he, "for few moments and saw
Matthews break open Caleb Pow
er's Office and find the guns that had
been left in there"
Youtsey said that at the time Of
the shooting he WAS private secretary
to Auditor Sweeney, but that as the
political status WAS not definitely
fixed it was understood he was to
have good place under Taylor
"uovERNon TAYLOR DIRECTED ALL WE
ave regarded bim AZ our leader
and he WAS moraliyoresponsible for
all we did. Wo knew we had the
Governor and the pardoning power
beside us and we we're not afraid OF
punishment for killing Goebel"
Yontsey, on cross examination,
said that after ho WAS arrested "nd
later sent to the Penitentiary he still
had hope of gaining his liberty. He
thought Yerkos would be elected
Governor and would pardon him.
Yerkes was defeated, hewever, and
about a year ago he decided to talk,
ard did tell his story to Prison
Physician Tobin.
Youtsey said further that he had
an additional incentive to tell the
story, IA Taylor, Powers and others
had used him rs catspaw and
scapegoat and then deserted him
when he got into trouble.
