The last issue of Burkesville News
contained the following complimentary
notice of Rev. P. A. T. Kasey, who is a
brother of Rev. A. R. Kasey, of this
place. Before leaving Bro. Kasey
was presented with handsome suit
clothes and an overcost, the gift of hi
many friends and admirers in Burkes-
vile. This token of esteem was worthily
bestowed for it would be difficult to find
nobler Christian gentleman than Bro.
Kasey. Not only the church, but large
circle of friends, will welcome his
return to Burkesville, if the powers of
his church shall so order.

A crowd of about three humid
dred people heard DR.. Bruner,
Republican candidate for Sec
rotary of State, speak here last
Wednesday. We did not hear
the gentleman, but it is our I'M
derstanding that the Republicans
presant were well pleased with
his speech. tits but just to
state that there were several
hundred people in town, the
Louisville Conference and Circuit
Court being in session. The
Jamestown correspondent to the
Courier ournal says that about
three hundred persons heard him
at that place a large majority of
the audience being women and
children.

Hon. w. O.. Bradley is now
speaking over the State, trying
to defend his administration
while Governor of Kentucky, and
claiming that Wilson will be
elected. We do not censure Mr..
Bradley for trying to defend his
acts while he was chief exec
utive of the State, for it was the
most VIGOROUSLY talked of adj
ministration ever given to the
people of the Commonwealth.
Governor Bramlett used to be
known as the War Governor of
Kentucky, but Bradley captured
the name.

WILL REMAIN WITH US.

1t is very gratifying to the citizens of
Columbia and Adair county to know
that Rev. A. r. Kasey was not remov-

he is special favorite here, and until
the appointments were read, there was
an uneaslness in the community, fear
ing that he would be removed.
1t is also pleasing to announce that
Rev. TIL. tHulse, who is an excellent
preacher will remove to Columbia and
become the Presiding Elder of this dis
trict.

Democrat, a citizen of either
Adair or Cumberland, to announce

the best opportunity to defeat
a Republican nominee since
the two counties were made into
a district.

Pettibone trial today and the asking
of ~impeaching questions Of orchard
was postponed until tomorrow. Edgar
Wilson for the defense, however,
asked Orchard if Pettibone was in

Moved to Strike Out.
On receiving a negative answer, he
moved to strike out the Orchard testi-
mony regarding crimes committed in
Colorado, and that the testimony re-
garding the Occur d,Alene troubles be
stricken out, as they did not connect
the defendant with the crime charged.
State Goes Ahead.
The motion was denied and the
state proceeded with corroborative ev-
idence and Judge Luther NJ. Goddard
of the supreme court of Colorado was
called. He was examined concerning
the finding of a bomb at the gate of his
residence. He said the bomb was To-
Gated after Orchard had confessed.

The Union Pacific will open the new
line known as the North Platte branch,
December 20, and for the time being
trains will be run each Friday between
OFallons and Lewellen, the track be.
ing laid no farther than Lewellen at

from O'Fallons, says the Omaha Bee.
The towns along the road are Glen

Lewellen. The line is laid GU and sta
tons established as far as Kelly, Neb.,
a distance OF LOT miles from Lewellen,
but the rails are not laid.
Caused Some Clashes.
This line was in the public eye more
than any other new stretch of new
road a year ago, because of the fgh:

build q line of road up the fertile
North Platte valley. Several clashes

but was simply blufing to make II
hard for the Union Ptcifc to get its

1t Is thought in railroad circles that
when the Union Pacific line is finished

over on the water level to the main
line Of the Union Pacific, and thus fur.
nish a double track from Laramie to

CHILDREN WIN.
Court Decides the Father Was Insane
When Deciding Land.

Denver. Colo, Dec. 16.-In the dis.
trict court today, Judge Greeley Whit
ford ruled that former Governor John
l.. Routt was insane at the time he
transferred his homestead to Eliza F.
Routt, his second wife. The case was
before the court in a suit brought by
the four children Of the former cover,
nor by his first marriage. Mrs. Routt
gave the property, which was valued
at 100000. to her daughter, and the
children of the first wife set up the
claim that their father was insane at
the time he decided away their claim
to the property.
