In the Much Mixed-Up Race
For City Commissioners
-Four Candidates.
VOTERS TAKE TO WOODS
In a Neck to Neck Hurdle
Race For the Office Of
Police Judge.

Keen interest is felt in the outcome
of the city election where there are
contests. DR.. Frank Bassett has a
walk-over for Mayor and is comfort
ably located on Easy street, but not
so with the other would-be hold
overs.
Police Judge Hunter Wood is seek
ing reelection with young Lorenzo
Kenner Wood contesting every inch
of ground. They were only single
vote apart in the primary and each is
bending every nerve to get a majority
of the 1000 or 1900 votes that were
cast for other candidates or have since
registered. Both are claiming the
victory.
For Commissioners, both Commits
sioner Wicks and Mayor Stowe are
seeking reelection, the Mayor shift
ing to Commissioner. Harry Leb-
kuecher and Charlie Prowse are al
their heels, in fact Leb ran ahead of
both of them in the primary. Mayor
Stowe is the only Democrat running
and this fact will cause many Demo
ocrats to vote for him and stop, to
make sure of one Democratic COM
missioner. 1t will be hard to make
the board non-partisan without a
democrat on it. Mayor Stowe ran
only 9 votes behind Prowse and the
latter only SIS behind Wicks in tht
primary, so the contest has many
elements Of doubt Only 1850 votes
were cast in the primary and there
will be at least 1000 in the genera
election. -
Incidentally Messrs. Wicks and
Prowse are contesting for Commits.
sioner of Finance, while Mr.. Leb.
keucher will want Commissioner Of
Works. Mayor Stowe is not particu.
lar which place he gets and says he
is willing to take either place.

Masked Men in Ku Klux Garb

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 29.-Herbert
S. Bigelow, pacifist, socialist, head Of
the Peoples church Of Cincinnati, and
a member of the Peoples council, who
was horsewhipped near Florence,
KY, last night bya band of men

bruises and decorations inflicted.
At the hospital where Bigelow was

was resting under the influence Of
Ooiates and that his condition was
S ,rious.
Bigelow's physician said he counted
forty welts on Bigelow's back made
by the horsewhip in the hands of a
member of the band.
A mans voice calling up by tele-
phone at Bigelow's home today said
the speake? was one of those who
were in the kidnapping party, that

low today are acceeted at their face
value and that Mr.. Bigelow is free 10

SPEECHES
BY LEADERS
Gov. Stanley and Mr.. Kinch-
eloe Heard at Several
Z Points.

Gov. Stanley, who followed Con
gresham Kincheloe al the Tabernacle
Monday afternoon, touched only
slightly upon the prohibition question.
He declared it was not his idea at all
to make Kentucky dry or to make it
wet, but to leave that to the people
themselves. His object was to make
Kentucky free and after the principles
of Thomas jefferson which are now
becoming the star of hope of every
nation, and he voiced the confident
belief that the people of the state
would not prove recreant in this.
Gov. Stanley said he had been told
that some of his supporters in Chris.
tan county were not giving the DEM
ocratic ticket active support. He re-
pudiated any such friends.
at is the duty Of every honorable
man to support the nominees of the
primary in which he participates. If
he fails to do so he is a coward and
a Stacker. No one can say | ever
sulked indefeat. / would quit politics
forever before l would let my per-
sonal ambition endanger party sue
cess in any county in Kentucky"
Both speakers complimented the
democratic candidates for county Of
fcers and urged the voters to support
them. Governor Stanley paid partic-
ular attention to any who may be dis
gruntled and sulking in their tents,
and he denounced all such and called
upon them to come forth and help
fight the battles of the party like true
Democrats.
Governor Stanley and Congressman
Kihcheloe spoke Monday night at Penn
broke to another large audience which
gathered in the face of about as dis
agreeable weather as it would be
possible TO imagine. They were CIV
en- another enthusiastic hearing.
Governor Stanley returned to
Frankfort from Pembroke, but Con-
gresham Kincheloe remained over
Tuesday and spoke at Bakers Mill
and Hawkins. Good crowds heard
him at both places. Mr.. Kincheloe
reviewed in detail the events leading
up to the war. He predicted victory
for the Allies when Americas trained
armies and her 10000 airships 90
into battle.

$500 IN ORDERS FOR TEXAS

the orders aggregates $1,000. 1t is

be purchased for them many Of them
will duplicate their orders.
This is by far the largest shipment

Texas farmers find it absolutely nee
essary to sell their cattle within the
next thirty days, owing to protract-
ed drouth, and while this stuff is thin,
the cattle which Mr.. Tucker will buy
will be in good condition, and will
put on flesh quickly as soon as they
have access to Our pastures, and par
ticularly the velvet bean fields, which
are just maturing.

THE CALF PATH

One day, through the primcyal wood
A cali walked home, as good calves
should.
But made . trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail, as all calves do,
Since then two hundred years have
And infei, the calf is dead,
But still he left behind his trail,
1nd. therby hangs my moral tale.
~
The trai! was taken up next day
BY lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise old well-wether
sheep
Purs d the rail DER vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too.
AS good be1l-wcthers always do
And from that day DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods path was
made;
And many men wouad in and out,
And lodged, and turned, and bent
about,
And uttered words Of righteous wrath
Because twas such a crooked path
But still they fo1lo&ed--do not laugh
The first migrations OF the calf,
And through this winding woodway
stalked,
Because he wabbled when he walked
V
This forest path became a lane,
That bent, and turned and turned
again;
This crooked lane became a road,
Where many a poor horse with his
load
. Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And Travelled some three miles in one.
And thus a century and half
Mlxaey trod in the footsteps of that calf
The years passed on in swiftness feet,
The road became village street;
And this, before men were aware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare;
And soon the central street was this
OF renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and half
Irod in the footsteps OF that cali
Each day hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag calf about;
And DER the crooked journey went
The traffic of continent
a hundred thousand men were led
BY one calf near three centuries dead
They followed still his crooked way
And lost one hundred years day
For such reverence is lent
To well-cstablished precedent.
A moral lesson this might teach
Were ! ordained and called to, prTach;
For men are prone to go it blind
Along the calf paths of the mind
And work away from sun to sun
? To do what other men have done.
They follow inthe beaten tr~ck
And out, and in, and forth, and back,
And stSl their devious course pursue,
To keep the path that Others do.
But how the wise old wood gods
laugh
a Who saw the FIRST primeval cali!
All nlsAy things this tale. might
teach,
But | am not ordained to preach.

INDEPENDENCE DAY IN 1895
Revolutionary Officers and Soldiers
Still Living and Taking Part In
the Celebrations.

(From Files of New Hampshire Tele-

Revolutionary Soldiers: The COM
mittee of arrangements for the cele-
bration of the Fourth of July respect
fully invite all the remaining officers
and soldiers of the Revolution In this
and the neighboring towns to join the
citizens in celebrating the anniversary
of our national independence on Satur-
day the Fourth of July next. They are
requested to meet at the Washington
house on the morning Of said day.-Is-
sue, June %, 1885.
The presentation of standard by
the ladies of this community to the
Nashua guards will add much to the
interest of the coming celebration of
the Fourth. We anticipate for those
who take part an excellent and highly
interesting celebration.
Its coming was welcomed with ap-
propriate manifestations of joy and
rejoicing through the medium of bells
and cannon. The procession formed
under direction of Capt. Thomas G.
Buck, as chief marshal, with able as
sistants, at half-past ten on the green,
near Tyler's Coffee house, and pro-
