The Goodland republic., 1907-03-22

The citizens Of GOodIand met at the
court house Monday night at o'clock
and nominated the ticket printed
above, with the exception Of the ward
nominees, which we're nominated In
ward caucuses the preceding Friday.
Much interest centered about the
nomination of mayor, and for that
reason the court room was crowded,
voters even having to stand for the
lack OF seating capacity
The meeting was called to order BY
Mayor George Kelly. who called for
nominations for chairman. G. L Cal
vert was nominated without OppOsi-
ton, and J. Ed Stevens chosen for
secretary. The call was read, and the
caucus proceeded to the nomination
Of mayor.
The caucus was composed Of two
opposing forces: One for the renOmi-
nation Of George Kelly for a second
term. The other. it appeared, for
some candidate that could make the
strongest race against the present
mayor. And that candidate was soon
seen to be P 7 Mcbride.
Mr. Mcbride was not an avowed
candidate, but on the contrary had
told his friends that ne was not a can
didate and did not want the Office.
overlook the popularity Of Mcbride
among the caucus voters, and they put
him up anyway to make the race
against Kelly, with the hope that he
might be persuaded to accept in case
OF nomination.
The first two nominations made
were George Kelly and P. J. Mcbride,
and then followed the names Of 3. T.
Brown, W. P. Brinker and Fred Daw-
son. That made it a fve-cornered
fight When the vote was counted,
Mcbride was in the lead, but with
out a majority. The chair ruled for
a majority vote to nominate, which
was not opposed, and the voters or
dered to prepare their ballots for
second time.
AT this piont, the convention was
thrown into a little confusion. Brown,
Brinker and Dawson thanked the vot-
ers for the support they had received,
but declined to enter for the second
ballot. Just after this move, ". P.
Brinker made the announcement that
Mr.. Mcbride had told him that he was
not a candidate and did not want the
office, and for that reason the speaker
said it was doubtful if Mcbride would
accept, even if the nomination were
handed over to him. He therefore

q man that would turn the nOmina-
ton down, and then have to go to the
trouble Of filing the place again.
As Mcbride, who is an engineer, was
on on the road and could not him
self be heard in the matter, the con-
vention was for a moment left in a
state Of uncertainty. Drinkers talk
had already left the anti-Kelly sup
porters in doubt, and to add to their
momentary discontinue, Sherih Al
bert Reed arose and made the motion
that as the convention was left with
but one candidate for mayor, that
George Kelly be nominated by accla-
nation. Objection to this motion was
made by some one in the back part
OF the room, which was supported by
another protest from z. T. Murphy.
BY this time the Mcbride men began
to rally, and the chair decided that
there were two candidates before the
caucus, and ordered the second bal
lot

New Coal Find in Muhlenberg
County.

The Central City Argus says:
Mr.. j. l.. Taylor, one of Mullen
berg county's solid citizens, informs
us that by the blowing of whistles,
at a. m. last Sunday morning, the
whole world, but South Carrollton
and Central City in particular, were
apprized of the fact that a new and
important find of coal had been made
in already rich Muhlenberg county.
For over two years work has been in
progress at the j. NJ. Moody mine,
two miles north of this place, on the
l.. & n. railroad, to discover a pay
ing coal vein of good quality On
last Sunday, at a depth of 275 feet,
their labor was rewarded by strik-
ing six-foot vein of No 8 coal of
extra fine quality. The vein is 175
feet below the bed of Green river
and can &c followed over into Ohio
county as we'll as in this direction.
Being at both the river and railroad,
this find of coal is one of the most
important that has been made in
many years Ample capital is east
ly procurable and energetic and sys-
tematic development of the mine
will be commenced at once. A bright
future awaits the country around
South Carrollton, and as this city is
building very fast in that direction,
and the distance only a couple Of
miles, it will be only a very short
time until that section will be within
the city limits of Greater Central

A Good Resolution.

At a recent meeting of theKentucky
State Guard, the following resolution
was introduced by Col. w. b. Halde-
man and unanimously approved.
1t is solely in the interest of the
privates and non-commissioned Of
ficers of the State Guard. These men
attend drill, exercises and other du-
ties that require from three to five
hours of their time one day in each
week and these duties are absolute
" necessary to fit them for the SER
vice that may be required of them
and is constantly required of them
by the State.
To proper organization it is abso-
lutely essential that the regular drills
take place. and to this end it is nee
essary that at least a small compensa-
ton be paid for this attendance. The
amount named in the resolution Is the
regular army pay, Acc day for pri-
Yates, and the number of drills
throughout a year or exercises in
GLIDING State encampments, not to
exceed 50 days pay in any one year.
The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, That this Convention. in
the interest of the Kentucky State
Guard and in accord with the action
of other States in providing for their
militia, does respectfully and earnest
ly urge upon the members of the Leg
isature that will assemble in January,
1908, TO make such provision as will
insure regular attendance at drills
and other exercises necessary to the
proper discipline and military train
ing of the organized militia OF Ken
lucky. To that end we state our be-
lief that attendance by enlisted men
and non-commissioned officers at
drills, inspections, parades and other
exercises prescribed for the instruc-
ton of the Kentucky State Guard, be
construed as the performance of one
days duty and be paid for at the Gov
eminent rate of pay for such enlist
ed men and on-cOmmissioned Officers
when on duty. No charge shall be
presented against the State by any
regiment of the Kentucky State Guard
! for more than fifty-two attendances
per annum, at such exercises, by any
member of any company, battalion or
regiment.

Hints for Cutters.

John Wanamaker, the merchant
prince, who spends half million dol
lars a year advertising, says: IF
there is one enterprise on earth that
"a gutter should leave severely alone,
it is advertising. To make a success
of advertising one must be prepared
to stick like barnacle on a boats
bottom. He should know before he
begins it that he must spend money
lots of it. Somebody must tell him
also that he cannot hope to reap re-
suits commensurate with his eXpen-
diture early in the game. Advertis-
ing doesn't jerk: it pulls. 1t begins
very gently at first, but the pull is
steady. 1t increases day by day and
year by year until it eXerts an ire
sistible power"

Mrs. Guy Lyon Says Husband Was
Innocent.

jacksonville, Ky, Feb. 23.--ln a let
ter to a local newspaper Mrs. Guy
Lyon, widow of Guy Lyon, who was
hung at Russellville last week, de-
tends her departed husband and says
that he was innocent of the crime he
was charged with and that she will
devote her life to proving his inno-
cence. She declares that her husband
was not buried lin cheap pine box,
but that he was laid to rest in fine
coffin, bought by herself. She thanks
those who were kind to her in her
troubles, and those who were against
me in my troubles have the cruelest
wishes that a woman can give"
Mrs. Lyon declares that she was
with her husband as much as the Of
ficers would permit; that Guys soul
is now in heaven" She denies that
her husband was buried in an aban-
doned cemetery, and says that "he
was laid to rest in a nice cemetery"
and that she will keep the grave
green with grass the remainder of
her life. She declares that she was
not permitted to bury her husband in
the Dawson cemetery or the Ausen-
baugh cemetery, and declares that
sit would have been disgrace for
my husband to have been buried at
either place"
She says she forgives those who
wronged her husband, but is firm in
her belief that he was not guilty of
the terrible outrage for which he paid
the death penalty.

Same Price for Newspapers.

If any class of business men ever
had good reason for the formation of
a trust with a view of advancing
prices, the press of this country pre-
sents that justification at this time.
The white paper alone on which
many papers are printed, costs more
than is paid by the purchaser for the
printed edition. The cost of white pa
per has been advancing for years.
Printing ink and everything that it
takes TO make a newspaper never
cost more than at the present time, yet
the price of the output has been re-
tanned. The newspapers of the coun-
try in their columns seem to point out
everything in the news line pertain
ing to the formation of trusts in oil,
sugar, paper, coal, steel and almost
every commodity in general use, but
they entirely overlook the idea that
they could and should point with
great interest to the fact that news
papers are supplying the public with
the news of the world under a great
er expense of production than at any
time previous, while the comparative
cost of advertising has not been great
ly increased.
The newspapers have been in the
front rank in the development of
American civilization and to-day they
give more to the purchases for the in
vestment than it is possible to receive
in any other channel of expenditure.
Any thoughtful person, who will care
fully consider the increased publica-
ton cost of newspapers and the vast
amount of information and pleasure
the people derive from them at old
time prices, will agree with us that
there should be prompt payment of
subscriptions or an increase in the
/ price of same.
