BLACKBURN AND SMITH
Will Join Forces to Defeat Gov.
Beckham for the u. S. Senate.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 16.-A new
and important development IN the
anti machine campaign, which
promises to make Democratic pol
itics ia Kentucky more than usually
lively between now and the con
vening Of the general assembly in
1906, is the determination of United
States Senator J. c. S. Blackburn.
Congressman David II. Smith and
others, to Join forces to get control
of the party organization at the
Democratic State convention next
spring, remove the present Demo-
cratic state central committee and
rewrlte the party law so that no
member Of the State central COM
mittee can hold an elective or ap-
pointive Office with or without
salary or perquisites.
1t is stated here upon the au-
thority Of a politician who recently
came from Washington that with
the possible exception Of Ollie
James, who is a warm Beckhan
adherent, the congressional delega-
tion from Kentucky favors a house
cleaning in the Democratic party
and a reorganization along lines
that will prevent the building Of
another machine like that now con-
trolled by the administration.
The present state central com.
mittee is composed largely Of Office
holders, some of whom are appoint
ees of Gov. Beckham, and others
who were elected partly by the
good offices Of the administration,
On this account the committee is
one of the most serviceable pieces
of machinery owned by the admin
istration.
1t is stated that Blackburn anC
Smith, although both candidate:
for the United States Senate, are
willing to join hands to reorgauizC
the party and then take their
chances in the senatorial fight.
The effort to rewrite the party
law promises to place the admins
ton 10 an embarrassing position
as it will be necessary to favor the
proposed law as to Office holding OIL
openly admit that the committee is
needed as machinery.
II is believed that the house clean.
ing would be popular among the
voters, as the arms of ''insurgerts'
seems to be upon the increase.

CoNSUELY RISKED A STRIKE.
Italian Workmen We're Showing Mis-

she did not approve The Come.
mara product was duly delivered
in its rough state and Italian
wOrkmen were set 10 work to pol
ish it, The duchess came one dav
TO see how the polished marble
looked and she was SO disappoint
ed with its appearance that she
wired to COnnemaIa asking the
American syndicate which is
working the quarries to take it
away. When an expert from the
quarrleS arrived he discovered
that the marble had beer
"queered" in the polishing and he
asked the duchess. 10 allow him to
put one of his own men at work at
piece of marble. The duchess
was astonished at the result. Ii
was pointed ont To her that the
Italian workmen did their work
improperly because the product Of
their own country had been re.
iected. She gave orders to clear
the Italians off the premises inn
mediately. The contractors ar
gued that they were under Il con
-ract to have the work finished bv
a certain date. and if the polishers
were discharged the French and
Italian caryers would be likeIy to
strike.

glowing tribute to Gov. Beckham
and declared that be favored Beck

the collar OF anybody, but because
that policy was the outcome of
Democratic principles. He ad.
mired and houored the able young

rank and file OF the Democratic
party was back OF him.
The acknowledgements school

SENSATIONAL,
Was Speech Of Senator CantrilI
in the Senate,
He Stands BY His Record, Both
as Democrat and a Legls-
latOr.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 15.-Rising
to question Of personal privilege
on the floor of the State Senate,
Senator J. Campbell Cantrill, of
Scott county, a son OF Judge
James E. Cantrill, made a speech
so bristling with charges and in
vective as to make 1t the most SEN
sational incident of this legislative
session. In seeking to defend him
self against insinuations which he
said had been whispered against
him, as well as Gov. Beckham' s re-
quest to Lieut.. Gov. Thorne that
Senator Cantrill should not be
named as chairman of the Commit
tee On Education, Mr., Cantrill
made bold charges against the
Governors motives, aud also
against certain well-known but
unnamed persons who have been
foremost in the fight for school
book legislation. Senator Cantrill's
charges and invectives were such
as to make it practically certain
that there will be a rejolnder in
the Senate at an early date and
which promises to be equally SEN
sational
Senator Cautrill came out boldly
against the head of the Admins
tration, and in his opening state
ment gave evidence of what was to
follow by saying that his satanic
majesty in hell was no more un-
grateful than the present Governor
of Kentucky.
Talks of fIaChine.
He explained the School Book Bill
which he had introduced in the
Senate and said he was willing tc
make any concessions as to maxi.
mum rates in order to secure its
passage. Then he declared that
Gov. Beckham was working "the
machine to put himself into the
United States Senate. He recited
his now record in support of the
Goebel Election Bill and other party
platform measures, and then he
attacked Gov. Beckhams sincerity
in the school book fight on the
ground of it's being a party meas
Ure by declaring that the Governor
had called a special session of the
legislature after Goebel's death L
repeal the law that bore his name
and which was the chief plank in
the party platform. He declared
that the Governor did not incorpo
rate the school book measure in his
call for the extra session and that
the Governors supporters preveut
ed the book question being made a
part Of the platform of the Lexing
ington convention that first noml.
mated him for Governor, and that
this was followed in the recent
election by having no platform at all.
Pointing his finger at a promi-
nent officer of the House who stood
in the thropg of the Senate floor,
Senator Cantrill declared that this
official who has been loudest IN ad-
vocacy of school-book bill, had
gone in company with another mem.
Der to a representative of the school.
book trust during the House Official S
recent race and had proposed to
give fair representation on the
House committees if the book trust
agent would help hlm win his race.
Senator Cantrill said he could
prove his charge.
The speech was an hour long in
delivery and there was a death-like
stiffness in the chamber as Senator
Cantrill's powerful voice penetrated
the fartherest corners.

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 16.-A colony
of goiter- afflicted persons exist in Ca.

Indiana county. Here, according to
the Investigations of the state board of
health, more than 100 persons in a pop

peculiar disease. =
Juneau and Rossiter, the only han,-

inhabitant is afflicted with the disease,
and of, this number four are cretins or

persons four are goiter victims, and on

disease is peculiar to Canoe township
and confined entirely to the elevated

There are also several instances of
marked golfers in persons who were alb

The cause Of the disease is attributed
to the water, which is impregnated with
salts of limestone and magnesia. Al
