liam Goebel, his friend and counselor,
Augustus Owsley Stanley will take the
oath of office as Governor of Kentucky
at IL O'Clock, Tuesday, December z.
while the greatest throng that ever
has witnessed an inauguration in
Frankfort will be present to do him
honor.
Carrying out his campaign promises
Governor Stanley will once more pro-
claim himself the champion of econ
omy, retrenchment and the rule of the
people,
Arrangements rapidly being COM
pleted for the Inauguration presage
the greatest spectacle it has been the
lot of Kentuckians to witness and from
reports received by the various com
mittees in charge of the details Incl
dent to the event, Kentucky from the
Beargrass, the Bluegrass, the Penny
rile and the Purchase will be present
to lend enthusiastic acclaim to the
States new Chief Executive.
Ohio Visitors Coming.
Vieing with the uniformed marching
clubs from Louisville, including the
Nose Green Club, the oldest and
strongest political organization in the
metropolis will be the Duckworth
Club, the crack Democratic marching
club from Cincinnati whose members
will join the throng in Frankfort for
the inaugural festivities as a tribute
to the former Congressman who in
many times of battle has been ever
ready to go to the aid of his Demo
cratic brethren in the Buckeye state.

From Louisville alone 5000 visitors
are expected and it is believed the
greater portion of the population of
Lexington will spend the day in the
Capital city. Already the advance
reservations have exhausted the avail
able. supply of hotel Accommodations
and for days the members of the Ac-
commodations Committee have been
at their wits end to find quarters for
the thousands of visitors who will be
in Frankfort for one or more days.
The committee has issued a call to
the residents of Frankfort asking them
to report the number of rooms they
will place at the disposal of visitors
md has fixed standard price of 81 90
for sleeping quarters for persons who
remain over night. The committee
will have the addresses of all persons
who have available rooms indexed and
will have members of the committee
assigned to the hotels and the depots
TO take visitors in charge and escort
hem to houses where they can secure
quarters, at the price agreed upon.

After giving careful consideration

There will probably be some readjust-
ments In the amounts paid for skilled
labor or piecework. depending upon

In view of the general depression In
business which has been experienced
for some time, decreases In the gen

for the present at least, with the hope
that Improvements in business will be
realized. Already there are some evi-

VIII Evict Coal Miners.

Cleveland, Jan. 8.-A coal COM
pany in this city. operating mines
in eastern Ohio, has served notice
on striking miners that they must
vacate houses owned by the com
pany on or before January Is or
be evicted.
The strike has been on for sew
eral months and was caused by
demand of the operators in the
eastern section for a lower rate
than that agreed to bet cen the
miners and operators of western
and Central Ohio. This rate was
agreed to by the latter operators
on the miners promise that 1t
would be enforced throughout the
state, and the present strike is not
only demand for a living wage
but an effort to carry out pledges
made with employers.
The strike has been endorsed by
the United Mine Workers.

When They Fail They Are Invariably
Treated as Criminals.
An agent de change paris stock
broker) can under the rule Of the code
of commerce never be adjudged bank
rupt pure and simple, his insolvency
always involving more or less criminal
responsibility In the absence of
fraud the penalty is hard labor for
term, but in case of fraud the punish
ment is no less than hard labor for
life.
The public, however, never suffers
from the insolvency of an agent de
change, because his liabilities, no mat
ter what they amount to, are always
taken care Of and liquidated in full by
the other members of the corporation,
who contribute obHgatorily each year
to sort of insurance fund or reserve
for this purpose. Besides, each of
them must before being appointed
make deposit of 250,000 or 100000
francs at the treasury, which allows
them an interest of 21a per cent.
An agent de change, according to
section IS Of the code of commerce,
must not transact any commercial or
banking business for his own account.
He must have no financial interest In
any commercial enterprise, whether in
his own name or under an assumed
name He cannot even receive pay
ment or settle any account on behalf
of his clients. The penalty for the vio-
lation of this rule may be fine Of
5000 francs and eventually the dis
missal of the offender Exchange.
