Lexington, Ky., Sept 17.—1 n the primaries of the Seventh congressional district Saturday W. C. Owens is be- 1 lieved to have secured a safe majority of the delegates. The vote was about i as follows so far as the returns already received indicate: ' «• BrrctfaCovntt. Ou ent. ridge. "Settle.

Desha : Breckinridge said he was confi- [ dent of. his: father's election. I Said he: “I cannot give out a statement by counties, but our latest! reporte-reduce Owens’ plurality to 141. ! I am sure that the count wiR be given us by the district committee when it i meets. If it does not I am not pre- ’ pared to say what will follow; may be > a contest.” There was a report Satur- i day afternoon that Owens, Settle and Breckinridge would each issue a card to ’ the public. This was on the theory that Breckinridge -was about to contest the election. Breckinridge ab- ( solutely refuses to talk. The most thorough investigation failed to find j ground for the rumor. t Everybody is thoroughly tired of the fierce contest that terminated in-the primaries. - -I A notable indication here is the doffing of Breekinride badgesand the donning of Owens badges by the most ardent young men who supported Breckinridge throughout the campaign with their money and their personal services. These men say that they went to the election Saturday, believing that every voterat the primaries was morally bound to sup- ; port the nominee. Now that their favorite for whom they iantly' seems to have suffered defeat they feel in honor bound to support opponent. Frankfort, Ky., Sept. IT.—Breckin-J ridge men here are reluctant to acknowledge their . defeat. Some of them are still claiming the nomination of Col. Breckinridge by. a small majority. They base their hopes of contesting the election on the fact that the Owens county vote fell off 500 I from last fall. Chairman Gains, oil the Breckinridge committee here, went to Lexington to consult i with party leaders there. Owens men I claim the nomination by 241 votes. Frankfort. Ky., Sept. 17.—Newshas been received here of a double killing f in, Lockport, 12-miles from Eminence, [ in Henry county.

one of Saturday when a democratic. candidate ■for congress was chosen, tor th© Ash- i ( land district. It has been a re- j , markable, campaign, ©nd has attracted , attention by reason of the fact that the principal candidate had been a repreresentative of this district for ten years, was ] cons ids red lone of the most polished orators of i the land, and that he had fallen. When the j j sensational charges were brought against L him by Madeline Pollard hundreds of j his. best, friends believed he would not j make the race: and when the trial was de- i 1 Cided against hita they were surprised and 1 shocked when he announced his determination I to ask the people to return him to. congress, j Then followed the uprising of the people in 1 May and .June, when they held indignation ; 1 meetings. ' The women took up the tight and pushed it i until the lasthour. They have made the tight ‘ ■ in their churches, in their public meetings, on the streets, in the stores and in their homes. ’ They have allowed no opportunity to escape them and fought Breckinridge with that same i 1 determination and heroism that marked the ! pionyer women of Kentucky, when they helped their fathers and sons to tight the Indians. • The Breckinridges have talked of them in every way: called them brazen female politi- I clans, referred to them as short-haired women, i have said they would better be at home at-j 1 tending to tjieir children and household du- ; < ties, but nothing deterred these noble women, 1 They braved all censure and even faced the 1 tongue of slander to carry out the work of re- I tiring from congress the present representa- ; tire. , ■ i.

The Humming-Bird’s Nest. What a frail house to trust with family cares. Hair, string and moss in cunning complex twisted. Upon a branch exposed to windy airs. As though for nestlings danger ne’er existed! But there the humming bird, with, bravo courage, Lays, and broods on her tinted eggs so slight Within the woven cup, and for her forage Trusts thoughtless nature to give food aright. The winds may blow till like a leaf the nest Dances and whips upon the frolic breeze, Yet willghe fledgelings thrive and take their rest Rocked to small sleep amid the airy seas. The sharp-nosed fox about the! wood may prowl, , t The sharp-eyed hawk peer down In search of prey. And neath the stars may hunt the sharp-billed owl. But still the jeweled wee ones hide alway. ’ A wonder ’tis. such tiny creatures dare Perils so fearsome in the unsheltered wild! But wonder greater and heir Survives such perils safe as eagle's child! —Starr HovtNlchols, In Century. Cheap Excursions to the West.
