KEMP SLIGHTLY
 HURT IN PRISON
FEDERAL PRISONER HAS A FIGHT WITH OTHERS AT COUNTY JAIL. WARDEN IS DISCHARGED FOR FAILING TO REPORT.

D. M Kemp, the federal prisoner who was cut by a fellow prisoner in the county jail Thursday night, was resting easily last night. An impression seems to have gained ground that Kemp was very dangerously wounded in the affray, but to the. contrary, unless unlocked for complications set in, there will be no necessity for his removal to the hospital, even.
 Kemp is believed to have been wounded by either T. W. Long or Lonnie Price, the suspicion resting most heavily upon Long. Colonel Higdon looked into the matter yesterday, after swearing out warrants for the men, and 1t seems to be the general opinion at the sheriff office that Long is the guilty man. He and Kemp were the men fighting, at any rate.
 Sheriff 1Iigdon stated yesterday after noon that he discharged Night Warden Huey not because he did not separate the men, as that would have been practically impossible, but because Huey did not re- port the manifest ill-feeling and former threats Of the two men.
 The matter caused considerable talk yesterday, but it Is believed that there is nothing serious. It is understood, how ever, that the federal authorities have asked for an investigation. Kemp was not feeling badly last night. He has no fever. and unless unlocked for compli. rs.a'- me he will be well in a short

Georgetown, Ky, November 30.-The commonwealth in the Caleb Powers mur- der trail today introduced a number Of witnesses to prove that conspiracy had been formed among the republicans to assassinate Goebel and that Caleb Powers was one of the moving spirits In the alleged conspiracy. Among the witnesses were Captain Thomson, state house policeman; Judge D. D. Field of Whitesbnrg, Mrs. Fannie .Iif- ner and Col. Bennett H. Young.
 The most damaging testimony against the accused was given by Judge Field, who testified that on his way to Frank fort on business he fell in with a de- tachment of the mountain men in charge of Wharton Golden. Golden asked him If he could find any men in Letcher county who would kill Goe- bel" Arriving in Frankfort he at tended a meeting of the republican leaders in which Powers and W. H. Cotton took part, Powers being chair man of one of the meetings. The wit ness stated that at one of these meet ings man whom he afterwards learned was Sheriff Buston, held up a Sdl tliuBe anu eAciailHeu.A lhiS IS tne only argument the Gobelites will lis- ten to!' The witness also testified that he heard plans for killing Goebel dis cussed by mountain men on the street one saying that it had been suggested that a dynamite bomb be thrown into his hotel room.
 When cross examined Judge Field said that at the meeting referred to, he heard Powers say he would have nothing more to do with the contest proceedings if violence was attempted. but that Powers afterwards attended the meetings.

IMPROVEMENT IN
 GENERAL TRADE Business Men Are More Cheer full Over the Outlook PRODUCTS PUT ON MARKET
  Grain and Cotton Are Now Moving More Freely and While Business Generally Is Still Quiet Con-
 dtions Are Favorable.

New York. November 30.-Bradstreet' s yesterday said:
 The improvement in the tone of finan- cial affairs has become more widespread, so notable indeed as to give a much more cheerful appearance to the entire situation. For one thing. the security markets have displayed more evidences of healthy strength than for a long time past and the money market has shown signs of loosening up. The currency pre- mium has dropped quite materally-close to the vanishing point, in fact-and the expectations are widely entertained or expressed that the country will be back upon cash payment basis in a few weeks. But trade Is still quiet the coun- try over and new buying, owing partly to holiday observances and also to mild weather, which still is a check on re- tail trade, is small, while industrial oper- ations are being restricted.
 With the easing in the money situation has come more liberal marketing of the countrys products and grain receipts at interior markets are certainly large, part of which is no doubt due to the greater
  ton. The price situation as whole, however, shows signs of readjustment to the changed conditions of demand and live animals and provisions, meats and other food products have declined shxp- ly. The labor situation also shows eVi- dences of the slowing down of industrial operations. Railroad traffic is apparently smaller thaa for many weeks past and the car shortage evil has disappeared just as the close of water navigation ap- breaches.
 Collections are still very poor. While the bank situation is improving, loans are not being made with any degree of freedom and rates are still prohibitory. At the same time the system of inland exchange seems to be again tending to- ward the north. still there is room for improvement in that respect
 Reports have been received this week from lumber districts, prices for which are easier and production is being re- stricted. The cotton yarn, leather, wool, iron and steel and coal trades also note great inactivity.

Aird Thinks Bryan the Man.

J. B. Aird, chairman Of the democratic executive committee of Jefferson county, said yesterday:
 T am emphatically for the nomination of Bryan and belie--e he will be the next President of the United States. Yes, Jefferson is for him. While certain in- terests here and over the state will fight his nomination, and afterwards his elec- tion, yet the rank and file of the dem ocrats of Jefferson and of the state are for him. Those who say that he is only invincible within the party and has twice been defeated, if they would be fair, must admit that no other candidate, un- der the conditions, could have boiled the vote that Bryan did in 1896 and in 1900.
 'In 1896, when Bryan boiled over 6,5Oo,- GOO votes, a larger vote than any previ- successful candidate, democratic or republican, had ever received, he was really elected, but even on the face of the returns, the change of a very few votes in the pivotal states would have given him majority of the electoral votes-and this, too, despite the opposition of the influential men who voted for Palmer and Buckner In 1900 the oppo- nents of Bryan thought his chances of election so poor that they did not op- pose his nomination; and yet, in spite of the fact that the country was at high tide of prosperity, he made a most cred itable race-much better than Judge Par Ker four years later.
 Tn the coming campaign MT. Bryan will have sthis advantage:
 sf1 Manv who f0iIght bie nomination and election are now for his nomina- tion, and others opposing his nomination will vote for him who did not before;
 '2. Republicans are split up and no mat ter which faction prevails in the nomi- nation. it is most likely to be knifed in the election by the other;
 '3. The republicans will not have the money as In previous campaigns, as corporate officials will not dare use the as in the past;
 "A. The present financial troubles and general unrest in the country will be visited on the party in power;
 Q. The democratic policies which have been adopted by the President and fur thered from vantage ground by him. will help the democratic party led by Bryan;
 6. The country demands a President who will take the government out of the grasp of the financial gamblers of the east and make it impossible for them to bring on a panic in the midst of pros- perity.
 MT. Bryan's democracy which has twice been stamped with approval by democratic national conventions and re- gently by our own state convention, needs no defense.'

 Next President of the
 United States.
RIDDEN FAVORS NEBRASKAN

The Bryan and anti-Bryan movement in the democratic party of Alabama con- tinues to be the subject of much discus sion.
 ''The opposition to Bryan," saidS John W. Tomlinson yesterday, "since it is cer- tain that Bryan will be nominated, has changed tactics. Now they want to write the platform. They say that certain things are not democratic and should not be in the platform, and yet when it is replied that they will not be in the platform, they say it will be cowardly to leave them out. You cannot please them. They say Bryan will be his own platform. If so, why do they want to write platform for him? Is 1t for the purpose of hurting or helping his election? These are matters for demo- crats of Alabama, earnestly desiring the election of 2 democratic President, to consider. The Nebraska democrats re- gently adopted a platform for which I have had many requests, and I have asked The Age-Herald to reproduce it. What objection can there be to such a platform ?"

Concerning the report that the Hill interests
have acquired control of the Wisconsin Central

Mr. Hills attention was called TO the recent
