for the watchful care of a commit
tee of his congregation, who looked
after his financial care.

dale. It quickly spread to the Armour
Packing company's cur wheel works,

Kenna Steel Working company's plant
Is on the opposite corner, but as the
car tracks are between, It is likely
that the flro will bo kept within
bounds. A general alarm was turned
in, but as the water connections in
the suburbs are not adequate for a
big fire, It is likely tho two plants
will be a total loss, which is estimated
at $150,000. There were 150 cars be

Taylor and Othnrft In Ammlnatlno
of Witllmn K Oonbol
Frankfort, Ky., March 25. F. Whar
tor Golden, of P.arboursville, was Sat
urday put on the witness stund In tho
examination of Secretory of Stato
Cable Powers, charged with con
spiracy to murder Senator Gocbel,
and it was the general opinion thnt his
testimony, if uniinpenchcd, was suf
ficient to warrant holding the de
fendant. Golden was rather nervous
on the stand but did not hesitate in
his replies to questions and his testi
mony made a deep inpression. Ac
cording to Golden, Caleb Powers was
one of the prime movers in the bring
ing to Frankfort of the mountaineers
just before tho assassination of Goc
bel, nnd nlthough Secretary Powers
simply instructed him as to bringing
to Frankfort of the mountaineers just
beforo tho nssassination of Goebel,
and that although Secretary Powers
simply instructed him to bring wit
nesses who were mountain feudists,
yet Golden understood that they were
to come to Frankfort for possibly a
more sinister purpose, that of "clean
ing out" the democratic majority in
the legislature.
Golden also brought in the namo
of Gov. Taylor in an incidental way,
also tho names of Cultou, John Pow
ers, Capt. Davis, Charles Finley, Judgo
Hingliam and others, the plan to bring
the mountaineers to Frankfort hav
ing taken on a wider scope than ex
pected. ST. LOUIS IS SLOW.

Half Cent I.llcoly to lt Coined.
Washington, March 20. A new coin,
of the denomination of half a cent,
is one of the possibilities of the fu
ture. If it should be coined, it will
be a testimonial to the influence of

wnnts. Man could make use of a
half cent, but tho new coin, if it
should be minted, will come into use

How a Llttlo Boy Was Savod.
Washington, D. C "When our boy;
was about 10 months old ho broke out
with a rash which was thought to bo
measles. In a few days he had a swell
ing on the left side of his neck and'
it was decided to be mumps, lie was
given medical attendance for about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered a salve. Ho
wanted to lance the sore, but I would
not let him, and continued giving him
medicine for about four months, when
the bunch broke in two places and be
came a running sore. Three doctors
snid it was scrofula, and each or
dered a blood medicine. A neighbor
told me of a case somewhat like our
baby's which was cured by Ilood'p.
Sarsaparilla. I decided to give it to
my boy and In a short while his health
improved and his neck healed so nice
ly that I stopped giving him the med
icine. The sore broke out again, how
ever, whereupon I again gave him
Hood's Sarsaparilla and its persistent
use has accomplished a complete
cure." Mils. Nettik Chase, 47 K St,,
