On reaching the cabin he was met at the door by stranger who invited him to come in. On entering the cabin his eyes fell upon several grips sitting in the room and on asking the man what they con tained, he replied by saying the were filled with whisky and that he was headed for Oklahoma, where he would bootleg the booze to the in habitants of the new state
 After few remarks concerning the condition of the weather and the offering of bottle of this life saving beverage" the gentleman stated that he resumed his tramp in search of his hogs, leaving the stranger with his grips of booze alone in the cabin.

A BANQUET FOR
GOV. BECKHAM
To be Given by Franklin
County Democrats
IN THE CITY OF FRANKFORT
As an Appreciation of Loyal
Stand of Himself and
Other Democrats.

The KentuckyState Journal, publish
ed at Frankfort, says:
For the purpose of expressing their
appreciation of the splendid contest
made by Governor Beckham for the
Senatorship against tremendous odds,
and which would have proved success
full but for treachery within the ranks
of his own party, the Young Mems
Democratic Club of Franklin county,
at a meeting last night, made plans
and started a movement for ban
quet to be given to the loyal Demo-
cratic members of the General As
sembly at the Capital Hotel on the
night of March 18th, at which Gov.
Beckham shall be the guest Of honor.
1t is proposed to make the banquet
a meeting of prominent Democrats
from all over the State, who will be
represented by speakers and respond
to toasts. The young men of the club
are desirious of showing in this way
some slight token of their high appre-
citation of Gov. Beckham, as the lead
er Of the party and expressing their
loyalty to him in defeat as in victory,
and their confidence in his cause, be-
trayed as 1t was by wolves in sleeps
clothing.
/ The banquet will be a dollar a plate
affair, and jabout five hundred tests
are expected to be present. The affair
5 expected to be one of the most
Lretentious of the kind ever given UNI
der the auspices of this hustling or
ganization, which has always shown
that it can do things when it sets
out with purpose in view.
The club meeting was called by
President w. c. Marshall last night
for the purpose of making plans for
the clubs work during the coming
Presidential campaign. The club eX-
poets to get in the fight early this
year and be there until the gong
sounds in November. Attorney Les
lie Morris offered a resolution, en-
dorsing the game fight made by Gov
Beckham, and calling upon the club
to give a banquet in his honor. He
spoke for the resolution, and the idea
was received with enthusiasm by
the score or more of members pres
ent. Others have favored it also and
it was adopted with a whoop.

A Good Word for the Boy.

Under the head of "a Bright Ohio
County Boy" the Hartford Republic
an kindly says:
Victor Matthews, son of editor
Heber Matthews, of The Herald, is
making a great record as a linotype
operator He is employed at present
on the News, at Wilkes-Barre, Penn,
Last week he set 1900 lines in one
day. Previous to this he had set an
average of 6,371 ems of solid BREWER
per hour. His latest average is 6,5S1
ems per hour. This is a great record
for one of his age, and We doubt If
it can be beaten. We always delight
to note the success of an Ohio county
boy, and we predicted some time ago
that young Matthews would give a
good account of himself.

next July, the members of the Ne
braska Democratic Convention held
at Omaha last Thursday, made clear
officially that his home State will sup
port Bryan principles throughout the
NationalConvention of the party. They
followed this action by turning out
en- masse to cheer a platform which
admittedly reflects Bryan's views on
national affairs, and to greet their
leader with an outburst of cheer
ing that brought flush of pleasure
to the countenance of the recipient
All the proceedings OF the day were

denced by the scenes in the convention

and thousands Of private citizens hail
ed Mr.. Bryan as 'the next President

Applause that quickly changed to
cheers. then instantly turned into wild
yells, greeted him when he appeared
to begin the speech which wound up
the day. During his remarks this dem
onstration was renewed frequently and
at the end was repeated with renewed
vigor.
Two significant points were noticed
in Mr.. Bryan's speech. In one ne ac-
knowledged his debt to the Populist
party, and in the other he replied to
criticisms of his policies which Secre-
tary Taft is reported to have uttered
in a recent speech in Oklahoma.
my creed is 'exterminate the pri-
waite monopoly A legitimate corpora
ton can be regulated, but a criminal
corporation is beyond the reach of
regulation" said Mr.. Bryan.
"Mr. Taft said that ] wish to ami
hilate business combinations, while
he declared himself willing to regu-
late the great corporations. l accept
{ this issue. And in reply / will call
attention to the fact that the trusts
have regulated the Republicans, not
the Republicans the trusts"
Concerning the Populists he said:
"If any Democrat has a prejudice
against Populists, l would admonish
him that q Populist who crosses the
road to vote for a Democrat is not to
be despised by n Democrat who has
merely to vote the ticket of his own
party"
