SUGGESTIONS FOR FRANK.
FORT.

How to improve Frankfort and
make the Home Corners wish to
come home to stay:
If your store front, or house, or
residence is dull or dingy, paint it,.
If your awning is old, torn or
faded, get a new one.
If your sidewalk is needing re-
pair, fix it. If your front fence or
gate is broken or tumbled down,
fix it. or take it away.
If your advertising sign is faded
or broken, repair it or mend it.
Resolve never to throw paper any
where on the street.
Weed your lawn of all weeds, es-
pecially the dandelions. Burn all
rubbish possible, never dump it to
be scattered.
Promise not to spit on the side
walk. Organize neigh borhood i'm
provement societies, and allow no
weeds to grow on sidewalk, area OF
vacant property In your DlOck.
Ask your milkman and your gro
cerymen to paint their wagons, if
they need painting.
If your lawn is small make it the
prettiest spot in town; if large, do
the best you can.
Every effort made, every dollar
spent to improve our city, will re-
turn to you not one, but many
times.
By request of the Civic League
of Frankfort.

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic con-
ditions in the cure Of consumption
is very much Overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient
too, can do much better at home by
proper attention to food digestion,
and regular use of German Syrup.
Free eXpectOration in the morning
is made certain by German Syrup,
so is a good nights rest and the
absence of that weakening cough
and facilitating night sweat. Rest
less nights and the exhaustion due
to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking
German Syrup literally and regu-
larly. Should you be able to go to
warmer cline, you will find that
of the thousands of cOnsumptives
there, the few who are benefited
and regain strength are those that
use German Syrup. Trial bottle

ENTERS PRISON.

In obedience to the mandate OF
the L. s. Supreme Court, which
was received by the Court of APP
peals before it's adjournment, last
week, the mandate off that court
was delivered the circuit court on
Monday, ordering Jas. .B. Howard,
accused of the murder of Senator
Goebel, to be brought tosthe. prison
to enter upon his lifeIterm.
The circuit court ordered Sheriff
Heat to bring Howard from the
Jefferson county Jail, which was
done on Tuesday, where Howard
was presented before JudgetStout
and ordered sent. to the prison,
which was also done on that day.
So ends brave fight offa man
who asserts his positive. Innocence
of the crime charged, and against
whom the only evidence was that
of man who had sworn both ways
in the matter, which, OF course,
makes his testimony questionable.
The crime was one of the, most
dastardly in all history, and the
man guilty of it deservesI the ex-
treme penalty of the law, but the
evidence of it's commission should
be better than that of a confessed
perjurer.
If Howard is guilty. he,Fshould
have been hung. If innocent, he
should at least have had fair trial,
before fair and unbiased jury,
and that innocence demonstrated.
No heart, with the milk of human
kindness in it, can fail to feel the
keenest pity for the helpless family
of this man.
He met his doom with a brave
face and observation-disclosures.

COUNTY COURT DAY.
Big Crowd in the City and Lots of
Mules, Horses, Cows and
Calves on Market.

Monday last was county court
day. 1t was a bright and season
able day and there was the biggest
crowd of the year, and, in fact, the
biggest crowd in nearly eighteen
months, on the streets.
There were a large number OF
mules on the market (from year
lings up to aged mules), and the
prices ranged high.
There were also quite a large
number of horses (from common
plugs up to good saddlers and road
sters). but the demand was not so
good for them as it was for mules,
although a number OF good ones
brought pretty fair prices.
There were also number of
COWS, with young calves, which
brought fairly good prices, none of
the offerings being first class.
There was big supply of calves
and yearlings, though only in toll
.erably good condition, and the
price ruled, likewise, low.
There was, however, on the
whole, more trading than we have
had for several months.
