Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 12.- William
S. Taylor, former Governor Of Ken
lucky, who is under indictment in that
State for completely in the murder Of
Governor Goebel, but whom the India
ma officials have refused to surrender
for trial, has been advised to be on his
guard, as a conspiracy has been hatch
ed among Socialists to kidnap and re-
turn him to Kentucky for trial.
II is said that the organ Of the So

offered a reward Of 1000 to any one
who will kidnap Taylor and deliver him
TO the Kentucky authorities, and the
Ex-Governor has been warned that
someone, tempted by the reward, may
undertake TO obtain it.
The reason for the offer is found in
the recent arrest Of the officers Of the
Western Federation Of Miners in Colo
rado and forcibly taking them to Idaho
for trial for the murder Of the Cover
nor Of that State.
/ II Is declared that the United States
Supreme Court has justified the kid

taken from Indiana to Kentucky, he be
ing a Republican and capitalist, whil'
the miners were laborIng men ana

Mr.. Taylor is praetieing law here an'
has been greatly worried at times b.
the action Of strange men near hi
home. He has received several warn
ings and some Of them proved to hav
J been timely. as investigation showed.
He refused today to discuss the ne'
D danger, saying that II was impolitic I
p do so. but friends say that he is cor
Z stantly on his guard, knowing this
$ 81. 400 reward may attempt some Gran
e to earn il by actually trying to TAX
b him forcibly back to Kentucky.
J. MY situation is avery delicate one,
i said the Ex-Governor today. "and
i think Il the best plan TO talk about
It as little as possible"

The Debate

The Marion and Morganfeld High
Schools met in debate Friday evening
Jan. II, at the school auditorium in
this city. The subject for discussio5
was: Resolved. That Union Labors
Are. More Pemieious than Trusts.
Marion debated from an Affirmative
point Of view, while Morganfeld dis
cussed the negative.
Gray Rochester, Misses Annie Dean
and Fenwick Wathen very ably repre-
scented our school. The argument pro-
duced by them was fine and the man
ner in which they delivered their
speeches was very good, showing they
possessed splendid oratorical power.
Our pupils delivared their speeches with
ease. showing they had been under
good training.
Miss Verie CofFman, Messrs Paul
Schmidt and Tom Waller represented
Morganfeld school. They produced
very good argument, but we're not 50
good in delivery. as they seemed lack
ing in oratorical ability. They did
well, but we think they hardly come W
to our pupils when it comes to being
well trained in school work. q
As there was a misunderstanding
there were only two judges, this causeC
a tie in the decision. Prof. Chosts. Of
Princeton, was the Judge chosen b,
Prof Kee and Mr.. Saye. Of Hender

JESSIE DICE GOES TO BELo1T.
Eleven Year-old Child VIII Be Given
Chance to Reform.

Jessie NJ. Dice the eleven year old
girl, whom G. H Hord, the seventy-eight
year old carpenter, is accused of at
tempting to assault, was cammited today
to the Beloit Industrial school for girls
by r. F. Hayden, acting as judge of the
juvenile court.
Mrs. Thorpe, the police matron, swore
to a complaint charging the little girl
with being delinquent" child and it
was on this charge that she was sent
to the correcttionary institution. Judge
Hayden had already taken the girl
away from her parents on the grounds
that she was a dependent neglected
child and had hoped to be able to
commit her to the orphan asylum, where
she could be cared for until a proper
home could be found for her. 1t was
not possible to do this as the asylum
authorities were reluctant to take the
little girl because of her reputation.

Attorneys for interests represented

tracts of land into the city.
Robert Stone of Troutman & Stone
said: I'VE represent the Keith tract,
one of the sides in the Keith tract, and
we are opposed to taking in that body
of land. In -ithe first place it is too
large and. secondly 1t is not surrounded
on all sides by the city We will fight
any attempt to bring it in"
Eugene Quinton of Quinton & Quin-

terests vested in the Keith tract. stated
that he was opposed to the absorption
by the city of the eighty acres of land
comprised in that tract and that they
also represented w. E. Sterne, owner
of the Metsker tract. 1.-The statement
that Mr.. Sterne will not fight any eff
fort that may be made to take the
Metsker tract into the city is not
true said Mr.. Quinton.
