B. 7. FRANKS
GIVEN OVATION
AT MURRAY

Murray, Ky. Sept. 80, Especial -
A great ovation was given E. T
Franks at the close of his speech here
yesterday in the interest of the Re-
publican ticket, hundreds of men of
all political parties gathering around
him and showered congratulations,
many embracing the speaker.
The first half of Mr.. Franks ad-
dress was a political speech but IN,
latter part was devoted entirely to a
discussion of the night rider troubles
which he handled fearlessly and with
out reserve. With a full measure OF
praise for Judge Wells and other
county officials who have done their
duty he in turn made the most
scathing denunciation Of the officials
of Trigg and other counties whom he
declared should be impeached.
Franks was heard by about soc
voters which was remarkably large
because of 1t being the next day af.
ter county court and the fact that
the farmers were busy harvesting
their late crops for fear of frost that
night.
Mr.. Franks is speaking at Benton
this afternoon.

GoMpERs. MAN FOR TAFT.

Evidence is plentiful that the effect
of Gompers' attempt to influence la
Dor for Bryan is not very productive
of results. When the time comes to
vote union labor men will be found
exercising independence of action
Those that are employed will vote to
have that employment continued, and
those that are out of employment will
vote for the man most likely to give
II to him. Is there any one who sim
cerely believes that the chances fol-
the return of good times would be as
good II Bryan is elected as they
would be under Taft?
A fresh illustration in point oe-
cured at the MONDAY meeting in
New York of the Commercial Travel
ers' Republican association. John w.
Armstrong. an organizer for the In
ternationel Brotherhood OF Electrical
Workers, who was sent to Maine by
President Gompers to make speeches
for the Democratic state ticket, came
out for Taft and Sherman. In his
speech he said.
1.-THE men whom | have met and
conversed with in the American Fed

MURDER
CHARGE BROUGHT AGAINST W.
A. POWELL.
Serious Charge Resulting From Shoot
ing OF Oscar Pritchett Two
Weeks Ago.

Following the verdict of the coron-
er's jury over the body of Oscar
Pritchett, colored, who was shot
through the right lung by w A. Pow
ell and later died, warrant was is
sued for murder against w. A. Pow
ell. Powell gave $1,000 bond and
was released from custody. The cor
oner's jury failed TO state whether
the killing was justifiable or not, as
the members could not agree, and for
a thorough investigation the warrant
was issued. There are many wit
nesses in the case. Powell Is a col
lector for the Universal Supply COM
pany, In addition TO the warrant for
murder there is one for malicious
shooting and wounding, as in the
same difficulty with Oscar Pritchett
he shot Major Pritchett In the scalp.
A third warrant against him is for
insulting language, as a colored wo-
man alleges that Powell cursed her.
The trials OF all the warrants are
scheduled for October 3.

FURNITURE FOR THE BEDROOM.
5obbinet One If the Best of Materials
That Can Be Used.

Bobbinet is a material that can be
nicely used fer a bedroom set. The
bedspread and bolster case, dresser
cover and wash stand cover and nu-
meroUs little faacy-work articles can
be 6 ade with this durable, washable
material. Some pretty designs in cor
neF pieces can be worked with very
coarse cotton floss. Either white or
color may be used The bedspread
should have d fcuuce. edged with mar
now lace, and the bolster or pillow
sh2ms must be lace edged. Place 1t
over a pink silkaline cover.
Beautiful bedsDreads can be made
with lace curtains if four pieces can be
found TO match and pointed with
strips of bobbinet Is inches wide. One
curtain. If doubled. Will make neat
bolster cover. The bolster being much
neater than pillows. it can be made
with muslin and filled with fine shay
ings. False pillow shams can be made
on a light wooden frame, using thin
pieces of wood like those placed in the
bottom of window curtains. A square
of muslin is tackled very tight to one
side, then it is lightly padded with
shavings or cotton, and a cover drawn
over the top, and either glued or
tackled in place. These false shams
will not weigh over a pound apiece
and a bed looks much neater if the
lace shams have a substantial backing
These sell for two dollars in the furni-
ture store, but any woman cauld make
a pair at home.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Never beat or stir cereals or rice
with a spoon. 1t makes them pasty.
Use a plated or a silver fork.
Cake icing will not crack when cut
If little thick cream is added to it.
Allow one teaspoonful to each white
of egg.
To prevent hands from getting cold
while hanging up clothes, wipe hands
dry and rub thoroughly with powdered
starch
Milk will Immediately and effectu-
ally extinguish the flames from gaso-
line or any form of petroleum, since it
forms an emulsion with the oil.
In washing dishcloths, instead of
using soap or borax, put a quantity
of soda in the water and boil the dish
cloths. The grease and soda makes
soap that does its own work.
A good combination for serving in
grapefruit glasses or shells is pineap-
pie and grapefruit Shred both fruits
and mix with sherry and a little sugar
Decorate with two or three maraschino
cherries and serve very cold.

Indian Curry.

Take IL pounds of mutton and after
seasoning with pepper and salt cover
it with water and simmer until it is
tender. Boil one pound of rice sepa-
rately. After the mutton is tender
melt, in another pan, one tablespoonful
of butter and one tablespoonful of
lard and in this fry one large onion;
add, and cook for a minute, two level
tablespoonfuls of curry powder, then
add the broth from the mutton and
thicken with two tablespOonfuls Of
flour. Add TO this one-fourth cup Of
shredded cocoanut and the juice OF
half a lemon and pour the mixture
over the meat. The rice should be
garnished with Taisins and almonds
fried in butter, and if a banana is
sliced up and eaten with each portion
of the rice and curry it makes a good
and wholesome meal.
