BECKHAM SHY Three Votes
ADii.BeCkham Scheme 10 Postpone
Vote failed 10 go Through.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 1.-THE
capital city arose this morning in a
state Of feverish excitement. Rumors
were rife all night that no division
would be taken at today's session Of
either house and that the anti Beck
ham forces, both Republican and
Democratic, had combined to post
pone a vote until Jan. 81. When it
came to show down, however, the
Beckham men won out handily. 1t
was everywhere conceded that if the
first ballot indicated that Beckham
needed but two or three votes to win
every effort will be made to unseat
sufficient number Of Republicans.
At the vote this morning in sep
arate session Beckham failed Of elect
ron by just three votes. The vote
was as follows: Senate: Beckham,
Is; Bradley, 16; Gen. Castlemau, l !;
Dave Smith, !; John Doe, /; Charles
Wheeler, |. Charleton and McNutt,
Of Louisville, Tatb, of Hardin coun.
ty, and Campbell, of McCracken
county, were the boilers. In the
lower house the vote stood: j. L.
Beckham, -, W. D. Bradley, ~;
James n. kehoc. |; David Baird, /.
Denman, of Metcalfe county, and
Lilliard, Of Boyle, did not answer
the call. Mcknight, of Maysville,
and Mueller, Of. Louisville, voted for
Kehoe and Baird respectively. A
vote will be taken every day at noon
until an election is reached.
The supporters Of Gov. Beckhsn
are jubilant; the detection did not
take them by surprise and they are
very confident Of electing their man
in the next few days.
The House and the Senate this
morning adopted the same rules for
the joint session as obtained at the
last session, except that the Speaker
Of the House will preside instead of
the Lieutenant Governor.
The Speaker was not ready to an
nounce his committee today; they
will not be completed until tomorrow.
Senator Combs introduced the model
license law in the Senate.
Finley Fogg was elected Prison
Commissioner and Frank kavanaugh
Librarian in Joint session.
Senator Thomas II. Paynter, dis.
cussing the senatorial race yesterday
said:
There is not the slightest doubt
in my mind that Governor Beckham
will be elected United States Senator.
The claim that Governor Beckham.
If not elected on the first ballot. can
not be elected thereafter, is entirely
without reason. There are absolute
ly no grounds upon which to base
such an assertion.
Governor Beckham said that he
was well satisfied with the situation.
The first of the delegations of boom
ers, who are expected to come to
help along in the senatorial race, to
arrive from Bardstown, and included
a number of well-known men who
are interested in seeing Governor
Beckham chosen.
Not an opportunity will be lost to
gain a point anywhere which will be
of profit. Naturally rumors of va
rious kinds. most of them wild and
incredible, are afoat. These, how
ever, are given little ,redence. One
which gained circulation to the effect
that switch would be made from
Gov. Bradley to some Man of the
Hour" intended to beat Beckham,
was a sample.

on his horses. Crossing Livingston
creek the speed increased and in a
very few minutes the Dutchman drew
up in front OF Jake Crlder's hotel.
Calling Mr.. Crider to the door he
inquired whether or not he could
stay all night. Mr. Crider replied
that he had plenty of corn and hay
for his horses and plenty of hog and
hominy for the Dutch but no beds
for anybody, unless they were willing
to sleep with a dead man.
"Oh, dots all right, Mr.. Grid err ="
replied the Dutchman, IL vas used
to sleeping nit dead people.
Of course he had a mental reserva-
tion that Mr.. Crider was joking.
The corn and hay proved good and
plenty as did the hog and hominy.
And now, said the host, 'fol.
low me and will show you where
you sleep"
Lighting a candle he led the way
to a room. Opening the door they
we're met by breath of cold grave
like Air. Lying on a bed in far
corner was what appeared to be a six
foot corpse covered all but the face
with a winding sheet. The chin
stuck up straight in the air and the
hands we're crossed on his peaceful
breast. The scene was so realistic
that the Dutchman fed in terror and
only by much persuasion was brought
back and introduced to Mr.. p. S.
Maxwell, who today bears no resem.
blance whatever to a corpse. The
Dutchman was Mr.. Jake Scholen,
now travelling for Hargadine .McKit-
trick Dry Goods Co., Of St. Louis.
Following the above occurrence
Mr.. Scholen sold bills Of dry goods
for Macksy Nesbitt to Mr.. Jasper
W yatt and to Dave and Walter Byrd.
Mr.. Scholen travelled his territory
IN those old time days selling goods
and collecting for those sold on the
previous trip. About thirty or thir-
ty-fve years ago he rounded in at
Salem with quite lot of money.
Collections at Salem we're splendid.
Collections at Marion we're still better.
The last collection was made in the
store of Mr.. j. n. Woods and with
six or eight thousand dollars he start
ed for Mattoon. The ground was
deep in snow and he rode in a sleigh.
The quantity Of money he carried
had been getting on his nerves for
some days. He was suspicious of
everybody and he imagined there
lurked robber bold behind every
clump of bushes. lie could almost
feel cold knife blade down his
spiue. In this condition he came to
the Milton Terry place just beyond
the Harrison trestle. From out be-
hind a clump of trees he saw a man
coming. He came straight for the
sleigh and carried a long rife in one
hand and butcher knife in the
other. The supreme moment of his
life had now come He must give
up Mackey-Nesbitt's money or fight
this bold highwayman to the death.
He decided to fight and forthwith
went down into his grip and hauled
forth his six shooter. Standing up
in his sleigh he called on the high
wayman to halt. Mr.. Milton Terry
halted. "Now you trot the other
way Mr. Terry trotted. After
the brave Mr.. Scholeu had gotten
out of sight Mr.. Terry went on over
to George Howertou and helped
him kill hogs.

The Delaware men will take one chance in

scattering fire is kept up against Bryan here and

generally conceded that the Nebraska man has
grip on the nomination that cannot be shaken.
Bryan, then, will be the Democratic leader, and
naturally he will have some lieutenants in Della
ware There is always a chance that he may be
elected, although it is as remote at present as It
was during the last two campaigns in which he
headed the Democratic ticket.
But in the event of his nomination, Bryan in
