Caleb Powers Arraigned For the
Fourth Time for the GOebel
Murder.
Special to THE ARGUS.

Georgetown, KY, Nov. 11.-Caleb
Powers, Secretary of State at the time
Gov. Goebel was shot and killed
by some unknown person, and one Of
the half dozen prominent men arrested
for participation in that crime, was to-
day, at this place, arraigned for the
fourth trial on the charge of numbering
Gov. Goebel.
The prosecution, which has been so
persistent and unrelenting on the part
of the prosecuting attorney, will hardly
secure a conviction this time.
If Powers should, however, be con-
victed and sentenced to hang, it is be-
lieved the newly elected Republican
Governor would pardon him, SO earn

Louisville, KY, Nov. 11.-Governor
Beckham has published a statement in
answer to the editorial criticism of
him by Henry Watterson in the
Courier-Journal in which he (Beck-
ham) charges Editor Watterson of at
tempting to thwart the election of
Beckham to the Senate, despite the re-
suit of the primary held some months
ago, and adds hat the Courier-Journal
has created and fostered discussions in
the party from time to time.
The feeling against Beckham is in
tensifed by the heated threats of his
~over-zealous friends, who aver that If
any members of the Legislature fail
to vote for him in the caucus they twill
work their own political destruction"
It is believed that Congressman
James and Senator McReay will ignore
the primary and contest tor the Sena-
tarship.
The new Legislature is SO close that
a handful a prevent Beckham from
either receiving the caucus nomination
or being elected.
It is plain that the approaching ses-
sion will be the most exciting one in
many years.

DISCIPLINE The BOYS.
And When They Become Men They will
Thank You For 1t.

Some weeks ago the ARGUS made
brief comment on the prevalence of
cigarette smoking among boys on their
way to the city public schools; but to
this time we have not observed that
our suggestion, or structure on the
habit, has been fruitful of material cor
rection.
It is strange, indeed, that so little
watchfulness Or discipline seems to be
exercised by parents in this time over
boys in cities, where their wholelives are
being Influenced and inclined by their
daily associations and habits.
There are youths, and even mere
boys, who spend much of every day
and late into the hours of fthe nights
loafing the streets and frequenting the
hotel Hobbies and billiar j.. rooms, COM
ing in contact with all kinds of people
and language, with characters that
could find no welcome as companions
in their homes, and from them con-
tracing habits that are sur to deter
them as successful business men in the
VI ing ~ 1htO iIOh
whose characters are above reproach.
We believe that the law should throw
its protecting arm about these minors,
but even beyond hat should the pa
rents or guardians Of these boys know
something about their companions, and
the places in which they spend their
hours of leisure.
Parents cannot content themselves
with the idea that it is the business of
the law to keep their boys out of OBJ
jectionable places, and they are bidding
for their own unhappiness when they
utterly fail to keep informed as to the
trend and habits of their children.
The picture seen upon our streets,
morning after morning, with it's crowds
of school boys with books under their
arms and cigarettes in their months,
would be an inspiring one to some par
ents, and yetit al be seen every school
day in the week.
No structure is stronger than its foun.
dation, and in the sturdy strength and
clean habits OF the boy lies the forces
and character Of manhood. No law car
be amiss that has for it's object the pro.
lection of youth, and no solicitude and
watchfulness on the part of a parent II
toe much OF a sacrifice Of time or com
tort if it tends to the keeping of the boy
in the paths that lead to laudable, stur
dy manhood.

New Haven, Nov. 12.-The Hotel

morning and, as a result, six people
are burned to death and many injured.
Damage $40, 900. The bodies of the
dead are SO badly burned as to be be-

of them were employees of the hotel.
New York, Nov. 12.-Notwithstand-
ing the denials of "Miss" Mallory that
she never married Clarkson, and the
apparent recognition of her first hus-
band, whom she married secretly a
year Or two ago., a cable from London
today produces the record on her, which
shows she married Clarkson in Mon
treal, Octobar Goth last. The mess into
which the millionaire girl has gotten
herself into grows worse and worse.
Georgetown, KY, Nov. 12.-The
trial of Caleb Powers for the alleged
murder of Governor Goebel began in
earnest to-day. The first act of defense
was the filing of a plea in abatement
containg the pardon given Powers by
former Governor Taylor. This was
turned over to the attorneys for the
State, who took it aside and carefully
examined it. Powers looks more cheer
full.

Mr.. I. G. Ross, Of Locust Hill, to the

champion upland corn grower of
Stokes county. He averaged OF his
corn fields this year a little over fifty
five bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Ross took one of the poorest
tracts of upland in the county, aud by
a scientific rotation and cultivation, he
has got SO much strength into his soils
that he is able to do some astonishing
stunts in wheat and corn culture. Mr..
Ross does not plant tobacco for more
than one reason. First, he believes the
growing of a weed that Is not only of
no use to mankind, but a positive de-
trimept to the health of those who use

Ross thinks there is more money in
