ALL DEPENDS ONTAYLOR It'lle SIijiis Louisville Agreement lVare Will be Kestoretl. Will AnnouDit HI IeoUlon Today Says He Wauls to Secure Fair Elections and lair Counts All Parties to Cnlte to Hrlng About Modification of the tioe bel Law. Frankfort, Ky.. Feb. 6 Whether it bhall b-j war or peace in Kentucky rests tonight with Governor Taylor alone. Tne question has been in his mind all day and tonight he declared that he had reached no decision and will announce none before tomorrow. The agretrnsut reached by the Jouioville conference last night waa brought to him tonight by a committee consisting of General Dan Lindsay, T. II. lUnter and T. L. Edelin. Tney handed Governor Taylor a copy of the agreement and were closeted with him for a short time und then departed. As they left the bui diog Mr. Baker remarked: "I hope and believe that the entire matter will be amicably ad justed. More than this I am unable to cay at the present time." General Jjinday and Mr. Edelin spoke in bimiUr terms and while all ex oressed themselves as reasonably conii Jent that Governor Taylor would acquiesce in the terms of the agree ment they a Jt-atre to bo understood as suying ttiat they had no authorita tive reason fiom Governor Taylor for entertaining the belief they expressed. E iriy in the morning, before he had received a copy of the agreement. Governor Tuylor auid: Wants fratir Klretlons. "Under no circ jmstances will I di cuj the agreement before a copy of it reaches me. It would be most unfair and most discourteous for me to do bo. Speaking generally, however. I would cay that if an agreement can be made by which an election law will be given to the people of Kentucky, through which a fair election and a fair count could be secured to the citizens of this state, no personal ambition of mine will be allowed to stand in the way." After the three men who brought the agreement had retired Governor Taylor remained alone in hi oUce with the cooy of the agreement. He studied it carefullv, went over its sev eral provisions in an exhaustive man ner and late in the afternoon declared that he would take no action whatever until tomorrow. I wnh to see my attorneys," he said, "a id to consult with them about certain forms of the agreement before I announce my iutention. I will not say what I intend to do until I have obta'red legal ad vie." The consultation of the attorneys was held tonight in Governor Taylor' office and adjourned at a late hour. Snutor lilackbu'n. who returned this morning frm Louisville, ex pressed himself tonight as being con fident that the entire trouble would bo settled peacefully. It is eutirely natural," ne said, "that the other side bbould wish to take time to consider the agreement and to prepare its statement to be is sued at the same time the signature is affixed. I have no knowledge of what will be done, but I firmly oelieve the agreement will be accepted substan tially as adopted bv the members of the L'mibVilio. conference and that all chance of trouble will be avoided." When asked for bis opinion of the consequences should ( vernor Tay.or decline to accept the agreement, Sen ator Blackburn sid: 'That is a question I do not care to discuss or even think about. If no settlement is made now it willjiead to endless complications before the end is reached. Has Srcorrd Its Charter.

Parmele Purchases Uocner Barn Property On Vine Street. J. II. Thrasher has closed a deal with Charles C. Parmele, whereby the latter becomes the owner of the Bonner barn, on Fourth and Vine streets. The consideration wes $1,000. It is understood Mr. Parmele will have the old structure torn down and erect some email dwelling houses on the site. The material from the old building will perhaps be used for other purposes. This will not only be a great im provement to that part of the city, but it will help to fill a long felt want. It is almost impossible to find a vacant dwelling in the city which is fit to live in, and if other enterprising citizens would follow Mr. Parmele's example and build a few more substantial dwell ing houses they would be doing a good thing for Plattsmouth and the com munity generally. RAILROAD .NOTES AND PERSONALS The most important item of railroad news announced for several months is that on May 1 the Burlington and Northern Pacific railroaJs will estab lish through-train service in both di rections between Portland and St. Louis, by way of Billings, Mont. To maintain this through service, ten trains will be required, and orders for the new equipment have already been placed. The new trains will carry sleeping, dining, tourist and smoking cars, as well as first and second class coaches. The Burlington route is be coming a big factor in the passenger situation in the northwest, and the ar rangement now Leing perfected will undoubtedly have a tendency to make the Billings gateway even more pop ular than it hes been in the past. A Chicago newspaper 6ays that sev eral western railroads will experiment this coming season with metal lies for track service, and that several of the roads intended to build the coming year have already ordered large lots of the ties. The scarcity of wooden ties and the probability that in the near future the price will go still higher has caused superintendents of construction and maintenance much worry. The Santa Fe and Burlington roads have sought to overcome future trouble by building large tie-preserv ing plants where the ties are chemi cally treated and the life of the ma terial more than doubled. With exceptional rapidity for rail road building at this season of tho year lhe work of extending the branch lino cf the Burlington from Northport to Guernsey, Wye. is progressing. The lino has been built as far as Scott's Bluff, and the station at this place vill bo opened Friday, after which time the regular operation of trains will be gin. Scott a Uiuii is aouui iniriy-iwo miles from Northport, on the north bank of the Platte river, and the com pletion cf the line to this point marks ab ut half the distance from JNortn- port to the Nebraska etate line, and ab ut one-third the length ol the en tire proposed line. Scott's Bluff is a : town which has b en in existence for several years, and despite its previous lack of railroad facilities has been a thriving business center, having a splendid farming and cattle country tributary to it. It is across the river from Gering, quite a prominent town. As rapidly as the new branch is pushed up the North Platto valley bow sta tions will be opened. Thero are two more in Nebraska Sunflower and Col lins to be provided with railroad ad vantages by the building of this branch. Another station, Pratt, will be located on the Wyrraing-Nebraska state line. The order issued Saturday by the state board of transportation reducing the local freight rates on corn, oats. mill feed and other commodities 30 per cent below the present rate has caused considerable comment in railroad cir cles. The present rale has been in effect since December 1, 1694, when Governor Thayer appealed to the rail roads to reduce the rates in order that the citizens of the western part of the state couid be enabled to ship in and out grain on a basis commensurate with the hard times and prices of the commodities. The Burlington section men wire called out last night to clear the snow from the tracks in the yard. All the trains on both the Burling ton and Missouri Pacific were late to day on account of the blizzard. Bur lington passenger No. 6 was nearly three hours late this morning while the trains from the east were each about an hour behind time. Railroad cars can be easily shifted by the use of a new implement, com prising a lever, which has a pair of plates attached to one end, with curved ends to tit the flange of the wheel, a chain being booked over the axle to increase the traction on the wheel and allow it to he revolved. Railroad enginemen make some ob jection to the new electric headlights that are being adopted by the western roads. It is said that the light is very severe on the eyes of the trainmen who are met by its fierce glare at meeting points. The Kest MeUiclne for Rheumatism "I think I would go cray with pain were it not for Chamberlain's Pain Ba!m." writes Mr. W. H. Stapleton, Herminie, Pa. "I have been afflicted with rheumatism for several years and nave tried remedies without number but Pain Balm is the best medicine I have got hold of." One application re lieves the pain.
