Republicans Joined in APP
plauding the Speakers who
Made it Hot For the
Ring.

the other attractions in the city.
Messrs. David Smith, candidate for
sheriff; Herman Southall, for rep
resentative; Jno. G. Duffy, for
attorney, and Judge Polk Cansler
for County Judge made speeches.
All were confident of success and
gave cogent reasons for TIE bright
prospects.
Mr.. Duffy made the longest adj
dress, setting forth the issues Of the
campaign in detail. His arraign-
ment of the ring for the misappro-
priation of the tax penalties by the
sheriff was severe and he promised
to bring suit on the sheriff's bond
to recover the amount estimated at
$4,000 in four years, in the event of
his election. He brought new
charge against the present sheriff,
that he has made no monthly reports
to the county clerk of taxes collect
ed since June 1903, although the law
fixes a penalty of S100 for each fail
ure to make a report every month.
He charged that the monetary tran
sactions of the county were being
purposely conceded by the power
behind the throne of the present
sheriff and the next sheriff, should
the ring elect its candidate.
Frequent applause greeted all OF
the speakers, which was Joined in
by some of the Republican voters

AT this same meeting Congressman
Stanley introduced Hon. John Yves

MY good friends and fellow eiti-
zens," said Mr.. Stanley, you are
ushered into the attitude of the man
who went after 'possum and caught
"a bear" Continuing he said: 81
thank you for this spontaneous out
burst of enthusiasm and hearty well
come to me. But there is one whose
shoe latches / am not worthy to tie
the Hon. John Wesley Gaines, the
pioneer in this great fight. What you
need are honest men more than gift

not sell their souls. / want to say to

incOrruptible as a sunbeam and as
stainless as a star. / have the honor

Bouquet For Stanley.

In his Introductory address Capt.
Ellis paid an eloquent tribute to Mr..
Stanley and his remarks received
frantic applause. He said that STAN
ley was the greatest congressman
the Second District has ever had;
that he had done more on behalf of
the farmers than any man who had
served in the national congress from
Kentucky for many years. Capt. Ellis
further said that Stanley is the Sec
ond Districts present congressman,
its next congressman, and its con-
gresham for a life timeif he chooses.
The Messenger in reporting the
speech said:
The speech delivered by the Hon.
A. 0. Stanley was one of the most
eloquent ever heard in Owensboro.
For nearly an hour he kept the hum
dreds of people, delegates and others,
assembled in the circuit court room
in state of almost breathless atten-
ton. So powerful was his influence
the crowd forgot to cheer, and his
most fervid periods were rounded
out with absolute silence on the part
Of his auditors. Congressman Stan
ley has made many fine speeches in
Owensboro, but his effort of Friday
was universally conceded to be his
masterpiece.
His audience was composed of che
people for whom he has expended his
most earnest efforts in congress and,
evidently, ne gained a new inspira-
tiOn. Any attempt at a summary of
his address necessarily falls far short
of giving an adequate idea of what
TT really was.
Congressman Stanley declared
that the thing. which he shall deem
his principal honor to his dying day
is the fact that he stood with band
of 200 farmers less than three years
ago, which band has now grown to
.2O, 900 members and which is con-
trolling the price of the principal
product over a large section of the
tobacco belt, a band that bids de-
fiance to the Vaccinations of mer-
CHESS combine Il want it written on
my shield in life,'' said the speaker,
and / want it inscribed on my tomb
in death

NAN PATTERSON AT LIBERTY
at Motion of District Attorney
Jerome Girl Is Discharged
Without Bail.

New York, May 13.-After more than
II months in prison and three mistrials
on the charge of numbering Caesar
Young, Nan Patterson walked from the
Tombs Friday a free woman. AS she
left the great building which has been
her home since few days after Young
was found dying in a cab in lower New
York, 1000 people greeted her with
cheers. .-.
Her release was made at the instance
of District Attorney Jerome, who said
he did not believe another trial would
result other than in disagreement. At
the same time he declared that there
had been serious miscarriage of justice,
He said that many of the newspapers
had labored to create sympathy for the
girl and that this step had caused one
more step in this county toward trial
by newspaper rather than trial by jury
He concluded with the motion that
Nan Patterson be discharged on her
own recognizance.

Life Insurance.

st. Paul. Life insurance companies
doing business in Minnesota had a
remarkably good year in 1904, accord
ing to the preliminary life report of
Insurance Commissioner 7. d. O'Brien,
which will be out in few days. This
report will show that the net earnings
of the legal reserve companies admit
to Minnesota were Silt, PAT, 1888 as
compared with approximately $50 200,
600 in 1903. ....
The Minnesota department is one of
the few insurance departments in the
United States that prepares state
ment showing the exact profit of each
company, and the annual report of the
Minnesota commissioner for this sea-
is much in demand among life under
writer's of other states The plan OF
preparing such a table was Inaugural
ted by Former Insurance Commission
Ell E. H. Dearth and will be continued
by Insurance Commissioner O'Brien.

MONEY IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The income tax in Great Britain is
levied on $500, 100000 of annual in
come, and produces $155, 000,0 900 of
revenue for the government.
From money invested abroad alone
Great Britain's capitalists probably re-
ceive 81 ZOO, 100000 a year of income,
though no one can tell exactly.
That is only s244 a year for. each
person if it were equally divided. 1t
isn't. Less than 100000 persons have
more than half the total income.
1t is probable that the total of pri-
vate incomes, great and small, in the
United States is over $4,000, 000 900,
though the sum cannot be so closely
estimated as in the island kingdom.
If Mr.. Gibsen Bowles is right in
saying that only one-third of the ma
tional income pays the tax, the total
of incomes of the united kingdom
must be s1O,50O, 100000, a sum almost
inconceivably vast.

RAILROAD MEN WARNED.
Secretary Taft Tells Them That Rate
Legislation Is Necessary and
Must Come.

Washington, May 10.-Secretary Taft
fairly took, the breath of the 300 rail-
way men, members of the International
Railway congress, dining Tuesday night
as the guests of the American Railway
association at the New Willard hotel,
when, after being introduced as the
apostle from the Philippines" he en-
phatically declared that railway rate
legislation must come; that if the rail-
way men of the country were wise they
would aid and not hinder it; that the
sentiment of the country is such that
failure of proper regulation meant a
campaign on the subject that would do
no good to the railroads. Absolute ST.
lence reigned as Secretary Taft spoke
his mind on the subject of rates. He was
positively against government owner
ship, he said, believing that nothing 81,
deleterious could come to the country
as this solution of the question. But,
he continued, you cannot run railroads
as you run private business. You must
respond to the public demand. If there
is danger of discrimination, then you
must allow the establishment of some
tribunal that will remedy that discrim-
nation" The secretary saw no reason
why tribunal properly constituted
should not be competent in every sense
of the word to fix maximum rate.

Is HOME AGAIN.
President Roosevelt Arrives in Wash
ington-Covered 5000 Miles
on His Trip.

Washington, May 12.-President
Roosevelt reached home at midnight
from his western trip, which he regards
as one of the most enjoyable journeys
he has taken since he has been presi-
dent. He travelled 6,006 miles and
passed through II states and three ter
ritories - Maryland. Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Indian Territory, Texas,
Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Ne
braska and Iowa. Every state and ter
ritory in the United States except Flor
ida and Arkansas have been visited by
Mr.. Roosevelt since he became presi-
dent. and it is his intention to accept the
hospitality of these states before his
term is finished. 1t is probable that he
will make the tour of the south some
time before the converting of congress
in the fall of this year. The demonstra-
tons at every point where the president
spoke are said by the official members
of the party to have been the heartiest
that has ever been accorded him on any
trip.

CASSiNI RECALLED.
Russian Ambassador to the
United States.

st. Petersburg, May 1.-THE transfer
of Count Cassini to the embassy at
Madrid and the nomination of Baron
Rosen to succeed him as ambassador
to the United States is officially con-
firmed here. The change was substan-
TALLY decided upon some months ago,
but was held in allegiance, and it was
not expected that Count Cassini would
be relieved until the conclusion of the
war with Japan. The transfer now was
precipitated by the resignation of M.
Schevtch, the ambassador to Madrid,
who has retired from the diplomatic
service and been made member of the
council of the empire. Baron Rosen's
thorough acquaintance with far eastern
questions had peace negotiations
eventually been begun or COM
pleted at Washington, peculiarly
fits him to take Count Cassini's
place. The baron and baroness are now
in st. Petersburg. The exact time of
their departure for Washington has not
been determined. ....

Chicago, May 1.-THE union must

rich or poor, must obey the law" Theo-
dore Roosevelt, president of the United

of Chicago at the Auditorium hotel
Wednesday afternoon. All the energy
for which the chief executive of the ma

committee had waited upon him to pre-
sent the grievances of the strikers, who,
during five weeks, have commanded the
attention of the public, and to protest
against the use of federal troops to pre-
serve order.
In speaking with powerful emphasis
for law and order President Roosevelt
also rebuked the strike leaders who ap-
peared before him for their sighting
references to the United States army as
set forth in the memorial presented. In
the protest it was stated that the en-
