He bribed a nurse to make an affidavit that the Such indignities Mr. Beauchamp and his wife felt that they could no longer endure, and immediately began to concoct a plot by which' to end, the life of Colonel Sharp. They; decided that it would be best to assassinate him after night in his home at Frankfort, and never was a murder planned with mors precaution than the one which ended the life of Col. Sharp.
Mr. Beauchamp and his wife ostensibly sold all of their property and gave it out that they intended 'to move to Missouri. Goes-to Frankfort. Tn tyi aVfl ntirt ctin 1 Tl 'Tin chases in Missouri Mr. Beauchamp visited Frankfort.
When he went there, he carried in his saddlebags, for there were no railroads in those days, a mask made of blue silk and a complete disguise of a negro slave.

When Colonel Sharp came to the door Mr. Beauchamp grabbed him by the hand, and In a soft conciliatory, persuasive tone said: "Come to tho light, colonel, and you Will know me." He pulledtSharp to the door, and in horror and despair, the victim recognized Beauchamp, whose mask had been pulled aside.

Beauchamp remained In Frankfort but a few days, and when he left a band- kerchief stained with blood which came from his bleeding nose was the clew which led to hts arrest and conviction. Following the arrest1 of Beauchamp the report was startedorthat Colonel Sharp had been killed bJFbne of his political enemies, and thiemb.ers of his family wishing to hide his misdoing behind that veil, let Colonel Sharp pose as a martyr, had no disposition to prosecute Beauchamp until men of prominence were about tobeepme involved. Beauchamp was convicted and sentenced to be hanged.

For some reason that has never been explained the laudanum taken by Mr. Beauchamp was not effective, although his wife died from the poison she took a few hours after her husband was ex- ecuted on Friday morning, July 27, 1826, at Frankfort, Ky. On his way to the gallows Beauchamp could hear his wife groaning in the agonies of death, and stopped to write the following message in case she should recover: "Your husband is dying happy.

Declining to Inject politics into Ills speech at Georgetown, and proper ly so, Governor Beckham could not re train In an after interview from making the statement that he give a square deal to his opponent." How kind how very, very kind! It is true there may be some; to question whether the giving or the withholding is within the powers enumerated in the consti tution and which that instrument be-stowS'upon the governor of Kentucky, and there will be some to hold that the giving or the withholding is not within his power because of any instrument But these will be forgetful people: They will be kind enough to remem? berthat Governor Beckham is merely -using the language of the machine, which has taught its members that' not cnly the state affairs of Kentucky, but the political affairs of- the Democratic party, and its management, depend entirely on the will of the machine.
In tactthe only wonder is that Governor Beckham did not give his gracious permission to Senator McCreary to offer himself as a candidate' for a position so anxiously desired by the head of the machine himself. Governor Beckham may hold the, machine in the hollow of his hand but he does not hold the Democratic party. He may control the governing committee of the Democratic party to the of calling a primary one year in advance and against all party precedent, tradition and practice but he does not control the Democratic voters of Kentucky. It is not for him to arrogate to himself the power of giving or of withholding fairness at elections, or- fairness at primaries, nor fairness in determining the results. But it is the natural language of the machine which holds the Democratic party and the Democratic voters as merely means to machine ends-and never was machinist more woefully Another incident that the governor might note is in the statement of the Georgetown Times--always Democratic from start to finish.
Says the Times and it said it while the governor was at Georgetown "Innocent or guilty, Judge James Hargis, of Breathitt ty, ought not longer to be a member of the Democratic state central committee. The day of usefulness to the party has long since passed." True enough, hut the news comes from Frankfort that the clan Hargis has demanded of Governor Beckham that he turn the machine loose against Floyd Bird for congress in the Tenth district, and therefore -the machine will see to it that he retains his membership, for Beckham seeds the aid of Hargis. TWO GOODS TOWNS. It is well and appropriate to speak of them together Paducah and Owensboro. -There are other good towns in Kentucky, but there are no towns in Kentucky making a better showing cf increase along all substantial lines.
The fact is apparent to every citizen of Ow-ensboro, and to every citizen of Paducah, but the- proof to the outside world is in the figures of the manufacturing statistics of the bulletin issued by the census bureau for the five years, beginning In 1900. Between the years Paducah increased 20 per cent, in the number of manufacturing' establishments; 71.1 per cent, in the amount of capital invested; 37.8 per cent, in the average number of wage earners; 49.1 per cent, in the amount paid out to wage earners; per cent. in the amount of miscellaneous expenses nttnnrient. on manufacturing: 38.2 in the value of materials used, and per cent, in the value of the manufac tured output. In 1900 Paducah pro duced manufactured articles of the value of $2,976,931.
In 1905 her output was1 of the value of $4,443,223. Good for Paducah In Owensboro there was an increase of 23.5 per cent, in the number of manufacturing establishments; 69.8 per cent, in the amount of capital invested; 59.3 per cent, in the average number cf wage vearners; 85.9 per cent, in- the amount of wages paid out; 321.7 per cent, in the amount of miscellaneous expenses attendant on manufacturing; 140 6 per cent, in the value of the manufactured product. In 1900 the manufactured output of Owensboro was 1905 It was $4487,700. Good for Owensboro! And also "Good for Western -A Kentucky!" It is for Paducah and Owensboro to ctqw! Frankfort, Coying-tonr Louisville and Newport all show Til'J Famous Sharp Beauchamp Assassination is Recalled AN INTERESTING PARALLEL TO NEW YORK CRIME. WOMAN'S HONOR WAS AT STAKE Like White, Col.
Sharp, Who Was Assassinated, Was Genius in His Profession. The Lexington correspondent of the Cincinnati in view of the de velopments of the Thaw-White tragedy recalls the following story- of the now famous Sharp-Beauchamp assassination which bears an interesting parallel to the New York crime: In the annals of criminal history there are probably no two crimes so completely analogous in every detail as the killing of Stanford White by Harry K. Thaw and the killing of Col. Sol. P.
Sharp by J. O. Beauchamp, which oc curred in Kentucky, at Frankfort, in 1825. Like White, Col. Sharp was.
a genius in his profession, and at the time of his assassination attorney gen eral of the state of Kentucky; like Harry Thaw, Jereboam Beauchamp desired to avenge the honor of his wife by the death of the one who had wronged her. The confession of Mr. Beauchamp, who was hanged at Frankfort on July 7, 1826, for the murder of Col. Sharp, was weird In the extreme. On the same day his wife, who bad taken laudanum, ended her life-in the cell where she and her husband had lived together after his conviction.
Mr. Beauchamp was spurred on and advised by his wife to take the life of Col. Sharp, the man who had wronged her. In his confession Mr. Beauchamp said that when he conveyed to his wife the news Col.
Sharp was dead and her wrongs were avenged, they both spent hours in tears of joy, so long had they plotted to take the life of Col. Sharp. Bowling Green, the center of a most fertile country, was one of the first settlements in Western Kentucky. Among those of the pioneers" to settle this beautiful city ere the fcobks and the Paynes, who were wealthy and of great influence. Into the family of the Cooks came at a tender age a youth named S.
P. Sharp, whose parents were poor and lived in obscurity. As the boy had a bright mind the Cooks supported him, educated him. I and as he erew hd he became ore of i snarp, tneir protege, prostrated tneir prfde wronged MIs8 -Anne Cook. whQ was at that time' acknowledged to be the most beautiful women in West- em and Southern Kentucky, and a girl Col.
Sharp should have protected as a sister the curiosity of Mr. Beauchamp to seek her and hear the story from her own lips. As Miss Cook did not iive far from the the home of Mr. Beauchamp he intruded upon her seclusion on the pretense of desiring to borrow books from her library and she repeatedly de- I clined to see him until his visits be came so frequent she could not avoid him longer. -t The Lover" Story; A friendship unusual sprang up between Mr.
Beauchamp and Miss Cook, and before the time came for Mr. Beau champ to leave his father's home and return to Bowling Green to continue his law study. He tells his. story thus: "I was conscious that there was kin died in. my heart a feeling I never felt before.
In short, I was in iove and that with all of the ardor a that sweetest of all passions, which re- ciprocated, turns earth into heaven when I made known my feeling to Miss Cook and solicited her hand in burst of feeling as would have rendered iwraisnn? In the refusal tenfold more painful. But If there was an objection in her own bosom to marriage I felt that she did not feel that objection to- 1 ward In this she persisted long, untn at length I resolved to find ou wnat that fatal barrier to my happi ness was xo my surprise she stated with a voice of firmness which told that it was the voice of fate, and that the hand that should receive hers would have to avenge the injury of a villain who -had done her wrong. She said her heart would never cease, to ache til rol sharI1 should die throueh her instrumentality; that he had blighted all her happiness, and that while he lived she would feel unworthy of my love, but she said she would kiss the hand and adore the person who would avenge her, and that ho one else save myself should do it. Accepted the Task. "No conditions nor 'earthly proposition she could have made would have filled me with such delight, for when I contemplated a marriage with her I had always esteemed the death of Col.
Sharp a necessary consequence. Delighted with the task that had been imposed upon him, Mr. Beauchamp inspired by the tears of Miss Cook and the prayers of all her friends, left Bowling Green one morning and went to uransion aunng me eraoiuu ui legislature in xmx. met. oump on Masion, House pavement, and as CoT." Sharp was at time a member of RAGEDY THE HOME WAREHOUSE.
A site has been purchased for an Equity warehouse in and before the time arrives for the warehousing of tobacco the house will have been built. The warehouse company is composed of solid, substantial citizens some of them comparatively poor and able to own only a few shares of stock, but all of them loyal to the cause for which the society-was organized. There were, and aie, two sides to the warehouse question. Each side had its enthusiastic advocates. In the strug gle as to which plan should be adopted hard things were said.
Disloyalty was charged by the one side and a disposi tion to show the white flag to the truscs by the other. Both were hasty utter ances and without Whea the crisis came. It was demonstrated that the society is sound and strong. A weak organization, one composed cf riislnval or weak-kneed men, would have gone to pieces. The A.
S. of E. decided to hold together for the essential purposes of the society, and leave it with the individual whether he would store his tobacco with the Louisville Warehouse company or the Daviess County Equity Warehouse company. Now the home company has been organized, a site has been purchased and stock subscriptions will be paid shortly. It is supported by home men and home money.
It would seem that it should be patronized by home people. But those who think that they can do better by storing with a foreigu coneern and there are some such they may do so without incurring the enmity of their neighbors. Behold how beautiful a thing it is for brothers to dwell together in peace and unity. THE CHAUTAUQUA. The 'chautauqua is the greatest boon in the way of innocent and wholesome entertainment that the people of Owensboro and vicinity have ever had vouchsafed them.
It has already been of inestimable benefit to the community. It should be made a permanent institution. The way to accomplish this is to give it substantial patronage. Pretty words are If every citizen will go down into his pocket and cheerfully pay the price of the enjoyment he and bis family get, the Chautauqua will live forever, but if every man who cannot get on the free list, or who has petty feelings of hostility toward the management, throws cold water on it, it may not survive. It would be a great misfortune to allow the Chautauqua to die.
We believe there are enough public spirited citizens in Owensboro to sustain it. At any rate another feast is assured the patrons of the chautauqua this season. One of the newspaper reports of Senator McCreary's speech at Georgetown was as follows: "Senator McCreary was heard by many prominent Democrats from Bourbon, Harrison and Woodford counties, and after he had finished they crowded around him and promised him their support. In almost ev-joining counties, were formerly stanch supporters of Gov. Beckham, but now they promise to get down in the trenches and work for the re-election of Senator McCreary.
"One of the best known Democrats in Scott county said today that if the tide continued to change between now and the date of the primary, as it had during the past few weeks, he did not think Gov. Beckham would be' able to marshal enough men to act as election officers." Chairman McQuown insists that he dislikes the secret ballot. Neither ought any man to like it. But the secret ballot has been. the mainstay of the machine, of corruption and of the close corporation and the machinists have made the most of it.
Is Chairman McQuown hearing from the people? Army circles at Washington insist that the recent 'slaughters in the Phil ippines do not indicate any general feeling pf unrest the natives. Cf course, not And if they did, wouldn't Major General Doc Wood just crush the life out of the rebellion again? Wise Uncle Joe Cannon Is securing that congressional charm for his watch fob.
