A great deal Of fuss is being made
among republican politicians over the i'm
prisonment Of Caleb Powers in Kentucky
for completely In the murder Of Gov.
Goebel about eight years ago. Powers
was convicted on circumstantial evidence.
| He was secretary Of State when the muir
der was committed. The shots which
resulted in Goebel's death were fired
from Powers office: this is admitted by
Powers himself. The greater weight of
the evidence was, that Powers was in his
office at the time although he claims he
was not, but he does not seriously deny
that he at least knows who fired the
shots. There is no doubt that political
feeling was at the boiling point at the
time Goebel was killed. He was elect
ed governor over Gov. Taylor, republi-
can. Taylor set up the cry of fraud and
his followers assassinated Goebel to pre-
vent his Inauguration. Taylor fed from
the state and has not returned since and
the governor Of Indiana. repubHcan,has
ever since refused to honor a requisition
so that he has never been brought to
trial. Powers was arrested before he
could get away. This. in brief, is the
history Of the case. 1t has parallel in
the Brownsville affair in which President
Roosevelt discharged an entire regiment
Of negro soldiers because some Of the
soldiers shot up town and although the
guilty parties were known to the entire
regiment, all refused to divulge their
names. The only difference in the two
cases is that Powers was connected in
some way. at leaA. with the murder Of
Coebel directly while some Of the negroes
were not even remotely connected with
the Brownsville shooting. But the Presi-
dent punished all of the soldiers because
they refused to tell what they knew Of
the crime. Powers is being punished
because he was connected with the
crime and unquestioaably knows who
killed Goebel and yet refuses to make
public his knowledge. Practically all the
republican papers and politicians uphold
the president in the one case but con-
denim the courts Of Kentucky in the
other and are even going so far as to
raise funds to buy Powers liberty. In
this case consistency is certainly shining
mark.

AS going to show that supreme court
justices can be wrong like the rest of
humanity may be cited the recent liquor
drummer decision wherein the u. S. SUI
preme court reversed the Kansas supreme
court. Both cannot be right, and since
the u. S. tribunal has the last guess their
decision is law until they take a notion
to guess again and reverse themselves.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep
Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
-Cuticura Cured in 6 Days.

Il had eczema nearly fifteen years
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were the worst
in the winter time, and were always
itchy, and I could not keep from
scratching them. I had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night I would have to scratch through
the bandages as the itching was so
severe, and at times I would have to
tear everything off my hands to scratch
the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I
had several physicians treat me but
they could not give me a permanent
cure nor even could they stop the itch
ing. After using the Cuticura Soap,
one box of Cuticura Ointment and two
bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about
six days the itching had ceased, and
now the sores have disappeared, and
never felt better in my life than I do

Haywood trial, in which he played SO

Some of the evidence in that trial
was so transparency false that it re-
minds me of a case that came off in
Alabama a few years back. One of
the witnesses in this case was an ex-
tremely ignorant man. AS his testf-
mony progressed, his ignorance be-
came SO shockingly evident that the
judge, looking sternly down at him
said:
Look here, sir, are you acquaint-
ed with the value of an oath?'

To Eiuht Fire in Mines

For fighting fire in its anthracite
coal mines a chemical fire engine is
now being used by a company in
Pennsylvania This engine is built on
4 truck which can run upon tracks
throughout the mine. When an alarm
Of fire is sounded the engine is at
tached to an electric locomotive and
rushed to the scene of trouble at a
high speed. Water played upon a
coal fire is almost instantly convert
ed into steam, which further disin-
tegratcs, forming gas so suffocating
that it drives away the men fighting
the fire Blue flames which shoot
out when water strikes the hot coal
often set ablaze pockets of gas in
the ceiling. When a chemical engine
plays upon burning coal the heavy
gases evolved cling to the floor and
smother the blaze by excluding the
air. Men are not annoyed by the
fumes and can stay close enough to
do effective work

Origin of seotIand's Motto.

It was thought by the Danes to be
cowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion when
they were waging war in Scotland,
they deviated from their usual rule.
On they crept, noiselessly and unob-
served, in their bare feet, upon the
unsuspecting Scotchman. When near
the camp one of the Danes trod upon
a thistle and in his pain cried out.
This aroused the sleeping Scotchmen,
and they gave the alarm. The Danes
were defeated with terrible loss OF
life, and ever since that time the
thistle has been the insignia of Scot
land, with the motto: Memo me i'm
pune 1acessit. mo one provokes me
with impunity."
