: CALEB POWERS PARDONED. Had Been Tried Four Times-Twice Sentenced to Death. Frankfort, Ky, Jine 13 ? Gov. Willsou today pardoned bosh Caleb Powers and Howard. Caleb Powers was released from the jail at (jeorgetown at iu o oiock anu went at ouce to a hotel. Jatnrs B Howard was released from the penitentiary - ^^t Frankfort tHi> morning. The campaign that ended ip the Wm* defeat of Goebel a. the pols, the struggle incident to the legislative contest wherebv he snatched the governorship from Taylor, his assa ssiuation and the campaign of proscription Waged by his partisans after his death weie replete with dramatic situations and crowded the stage with actors who played iin portant parts. But of all the participants, none, not even Coebel himself,focused the public attention more clearly than Caleb Powers, Republican secretary of State. Powers has beeu lighting with a halter around his neck for . eight years. During all that time he has lain largely iu the power of his political opponents. Four times Powers has been tried for his life. Howard,alleged to be the man who actually fired the shot that killed Goebel, was under life sentence. ^ tlf.llrtAw n a rttof a "*"? nn f /Y1 ro r\ VjrU*. II lliwu in a oiaKuinn gusu oat, says that the application for pardon was signed by nearly 500,000 ' - persons, some 240,000 Kentuckiaus and a large proportion of Democrats. He said that be had given the cast the most careful, conscientious aud thorough investigation and thought in his power,realizing that he wonld be ciiticized whatever his decision * might be. The governor added: The murder , of Senator Goebel bestroyed a remarkable life, brought deepest grief to his family and thousands of friends who loved hicn, overthrew the whole State election, destroyed the peace and good feeling of the State for eight years, set neighbor \ against neighbor, made politics al most war, stained the good name of s ? i i i ) -.i. _ KeutucKey ana snocaeu civilized. world. There was and is no shadow of excuse or palliation for this base crime. There can be 110 mercy for anv one guilty of murdei or of aiding or abetting it. but a more grave crime, a more serious, is the responsibility of deciding tinquestion of guilt and a more imper ative duty of guarding against injustice and wrong imposed under pressure 01 puonc excitement, passion or prejudice. ? Cultivating Politeness Many parents turn over the mental training of the'r children to the public school and their religious traiuing to the Sunday school, or cot that part out altogether and think they have done their full duty to their offspring. In the home they are a sort of neccessaiy nuisauce, always in the way, getting sick and having the doctor's bills to run up aud generally a great source of annoyance. When such children began to "grow up" they are daily reminded of what a task they have been and how "devoted" to their parents they should be. Often such children are not "devoted" to these parents; fun ny isn't it? but it's so an toe same* One of the greatest works for the parent in the home after the ch lid has begun to go out iuto the world is to teach it good manners. He will need it if he is to go on in the world Hnd live every where and at all times ^ill be so much easier for him. Act patiently. You cannot teach a child politeness and good manners by storming at him. You must act A -politely yourself, and this will have \ to be kept up all the time, "Do as I do, not as I do," does not make Nmuch impression od a child. All the little courtesies that make life easier and pleasanter are just as necessary today as they were 100 vears ago. Teach your children to be polite at all times and under all circumstances.?Greenwood Indeu. If there is a skeleton in the closet, keep the door 6hut.

Congressman Ellerbe in a Difficulty. Marion, June 15.?A personal difficulty occurred on Main street in Dillon today between Mr W Murchison of Dillon and Congressman J E Ellerbe of Marion. Neither of the gentlemen was hurt, as they were immediately separated Congressman Ellerbe was seen oy yuur turrcspuuueiu <tuu made the following statement:? "I was walking up the street, met Mr Murchison and spoke politely to him. Mr Murchison said very abruptly: "I have heard that you have slandered me to Mr Wheeler in mv absence." This I said is absolutely untrue. Mr Murchison then askdd me if I would face Mr Wheeler with him. To this 1 readily consented and we walked across the street to where Mr Wheeler was standing on the opposite sidewalk. Mr Wheeler admitted that I had said nothing i insulting about Mr Murchison nor anything reflecting upon his character. He could not recollect my exact words, be said, but it was something about Mr. Murchison and the Dillon postoffice. Before Mr. Wheeler could finish his statement Mr. Murchison cursed me and I struck him. He. attempted to strike back but we were immediately separated." Mr. Ellerbe further stated that he had never said an unkind word . against Mr. Murchison and could not understand why he shonld have sought a personal encounter with him; that * ? . ; - ' j lie had not heard Mr Murchison's name mentioned in connectiin with the Dillon post offce. Mr Murcliison wjs also asked for a statement of liis version of the affair, but he said that he did not care to have anything to say for publication. AN HtROlC ACT.
