LOUISVILLE KY. M-YY SI. Governor
Taylor arrived at Frankfort at lx o'clock
arid went at once to the custom house
lie Intended leaving for his home In But
ler county at noon but missed his tnIn.
Shortly after the decision of tho supreme
court was received from "Washington the
governor was seen by a reporter of the
Associated Press In the private office of
Collector Sapp at the cuotom houso. Af-
ter reading the Associated Press bulletin
the governor said:
"I rather expected the decision would
bo against me. The adverse rulliigs of
the state courts here made a sort of
pessimist of me and I am not surprised
that the supreme bench has overruled the
writ of error.
"This Is not a tlmo to talk. I will only
reiterate my former statements In re-
gard to re-nomination that It will de-
pend on the will of the peop'e."
TAYLOR GIVES IT UP.
Governor Taylor late In the aftarno n
Issued the following ord-r:
'-To General D. R. CoMer Frankfort
Kentucky:
"The supreme court of the United
State has decided in fa"or o' Mr. Beck-
ham nothing now remains to ue done ex
cept to dismiss the militia and sui render
your office to your successor  appointed
by (Mr. Beckham. You ve therefore di-
rected .to at once dismiss the mtUtia ami
to surrender your office to your successor
as soon s the mandate of the supreme
court Is filed or aooac-r if you w'frh.

Brocrastinalion is the thief of health
ns well as the thief of time. There are
few things in which pro-
crastination is so much
indulged as in let-
ter writing. We
menn to write hut
"to-morrow and
to-morrow creep
on" and we
neglect it.
This is had
enough when
the corres-
pondence is
social or busi
ness in its character but when it con-
cerns the vital issue of health it is in-
finitely worse.
This ttfuches'ow if you are one of the
women who have felt inclined to take
advantage of Dr. Pierce's offer of a con-
sultation by letter free. You have
studied the evidence which shows how
other women have been cured. You
cannot doubt but that Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription does cure diseases
peculiar to women ; irregularity ulcer-
ations inflammations bearing -down
pains. You cannot doubt it because of
tne torce ot the testimony of hundreds
of thousands of weak women made
strong and sick women made well and
you mean to write to-morrow.
Write to-day. Your letter will be
read in private its contents guarded as
a sacred confidence and an answer
promptly mailed you in a plain envelope
without any printing upon it. Address

' When I wrote you about my ailments I was
living in Richland Iowa" writes Mrs. M. Vas-
tine. of 6.17 South Liberty Street Galesburg. 111.
" I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription four of the 'Golden Medical Discov-
ery' and four vials of Dr. Pieicc's Pleasant Pel-
lets. Before I had taken four bottles of the
' Favorite Prescription ' I was a new woman. I
cannot make pen describe my heartfelt grati-
tude but will confirm the truth of all 1 say if
those who write inclose stamped envelope for
reply."
Dr. Pierce's Pellets are a natural aid
to beauty. They clear the complexion.

"In Bhort the nature of the "elation cf

ally speaking Inconsistent with either a
property or a contract right"
There were three diasontlng opinions.
but on only one of these was the opinion
expressed that the decision of the Ken-
tucky court of appeals should be rovers
ed. This was delivered 'y JuttJue Har-
lan. Justice McKenna was the first of
the dissenters to be heard. He stattyl
that while he concurred In the result
he was not prepared to ay that a public
office was not property.
Justice Brewer also expressed views
antagonistic to those of the court of the
point of office as property. He also held
the view that the United States courts
were not without jurisdiction but con-
tended that the decision of the Kentucky
court should be affirmed instead of dis-
missing the writ of error.
He agreed with the court of appeals of
Kentucky that upon the award of the as-
sembly no other Jadgment can be enter-
ed than that which sustains 1.

fect that public offices a.-c mere figcnclcs
