The ASSASSIN'S B LAYS Consummation of Stirs the Stat ASSASSIN'S BULLET LAYS GOEBEL LOW Consummation of a Dastardly Plot Stirs the State of Kentucky. FIRED ON FROM HOUSE OCCUPIED BY TAYLOR Goebel Was on His Way to the Sente Chamber When Shot Down. While walking through the capitol grounds at Frankfort, Ky., on his way to the capitol building at 11:10 o'clock Tuesday morning William Goebel, the Democratic contestant for governor of Kentucky, was shot down and very dangerously wounded. The shots were fired from a window of the executive building just east of the legislative hall. Harland Whittaker, a farmer, of Butler county, the home of Governor Taylor, is now in the jail at Louisville charged with the crime. There is no direct evidence against Whittaker and he was placed under arrest more because he was caught around the capital building when the shots were fired than for any other apparent reason. He denies in the most positivo manner that he had any connection with the shooting or knew anything about it. He was running toward the place where Goebel fell, and not away from it when caught and arrested. Senator Goebel was wounded by a rifle ball of small caliber, not over 38, which struck him in the right side just below the arm pit. The ball passed through the back part of the right lung, across the body on a diagonal line, passing out below the left shoulder blade. That the shooting of Mr. Goebel was the result of a carefully laid plan is without question. The man who did the work had evidently taken his stand at the window which had previously been raised in order to allow the free passage of the bullet, and waited until his victim was in full sight before firing. Ever since the influx of mountaineers last week a large number of them have been sleeping in the upper part of the statehouse. It is not known, however, that any of these men did the work, or meditated the crime. There has not, so far, been discovered the slightest direct evidence pointing to any man, and it is not likely that any will ever be found. The man who fired the shots took the precaution to conceal his location by using smokeless powder cartridges. A score of people were where they had a full view of the side of the building from which the firing was done and all of them declare that not a sign of powder smoke was visible. Mr. Goebel was on his way to the senate chamber in company with Colonel Jack Chinn, and Warden Eph Lillard, of the Frankfort peutentiary. Mr. Lillard was a few feet in advance of Goebel and Chinn, who were walking side by side, Goebel being on the right and Chinn upon the left. From the outer edge of the capitol grounds to the step of the capitol building the distance is about 300 feet. As the shot was heard, Goebel gave a quick, involuntary exclamation of pain and made an effort to draw his own revolver. His strength was unequal to the task, however, and he sank upon the pavement. With great rapidity several more shots were fired, the bullets all striking the brick sidewalk close to where Goebel lay. None of them touched him, however. Lillard hastily turned around to aid Goebel, who was supported by Chinn, who had his arms about him almost as soon as he touched the pavement. "Get help," said Chinn to Lillard, and turning to Goebel, he asked: genate Committee Decides That Island Shall Be So Known. The senate committee on Porto Rico has decided so far as it can decide, that the island shall be known as Porto Rico and not as Puerto Rico, as fixed by a recent executive order. At a meeting of the committee Saturday in connection with the Foraker bill, providing a form of government for the island, the spelling of the name was unanimously decided upon. The committee went over the bill in detail, deciding upon many changes in phraseology and some alterations in the general provision of the measure. V ) L. XV. NAME IS PORTO RICO COMPANY. SAV BULLET GOEBEL LOW of a Dastardly Plot state of Kentucky. "Are you hurt, Goebel? Did they get you?" "They have got me this time," said Mr. Goebel. "I guess they have killed me." While Chinn was holding the wounded man, supporting his head in his arms, four shots more were fired at both men. All of them struck close, making the dust fly from the brick pavement. Both Chinn and Lillard stuck to their friend, neither of them moving from his side until the firing ceased. Chinn and Lillard are men of experience in affairs in which powder smoke is a more or less prominent feature and both declare that while they could tell the general direction from which the bullets came, they could but guess at the spot from which they were fired. When the firing ceased Lillard ran for help. He had not far to go, for there is always a crowd around the gates of the capitol building. In lees than a minute dozeus of men were around Goebel. He was losing much blood and was becoming very weak. He was hastily carried to the office of Dr. E. E. Hume, in the basement of the Capitol hotel, about a thousand feet from the spot where the shooting occurred. Here he was laid upon a sofa while Dr. Hume made a hasty examination, pronouncing the wound to be of a nature that must cause death in a short time. MILITARY CALLED OUT. The Republican officials acted with the greatest promptitude. Adjutant General Collier was sitting in his office when the shots were fired. He was not over 200 feet from Goebel when he fell. He instantly rushed out of the building, and being told that Goebel had been shot, he realized that prompt steps must be taken to avoid the turbulence which might easily follow the great excitement which was increasing every minute. He at once telephoned to the armory on the hill, where all during the gubernatorial contest the local company of infantry had been in reserve and within 20 minutes the company, 30 strong, under command of Captain Wolcott, was drawn up front of the capitol building. Guards were placed at every gate leading to the capitol grounds and nobody was permitted to enter or leave. Goebel, who showed great fortitude and gourage throughout, smiled weakly as he heard the perdict and feebly rolled his head from side to side in token of dissent from the opinion expressed by the physician. He was then carried to his room on the second floor of the Capitol hotel and in addition to Dr. Hume, Drs. McCormick and Ely were summoned to attend him. There was talk on every side of placing under arrest every man who was in the building when the shots were fired, even including Governor Taylor, though, of course, nobody believed for a moment that he had any knowledge of the crime. He expressed himself immediately after the shooting as being extremely sorry that such a thing had happened. Adjutant General Collier, who is a red hot follower of Governor Taylor, and who has never minced his words in any way when Mr. Goebel was the subject of discussion, said: "It is a most deplorable affair in every way. I would not have had it happen, for it may possibly cause trouble in Frankfort, but I think not. At any rate if the trouble comes, we are abundantly able to take care of it." As soon as it was noised around that Goebel had been shot members of the legislature made a wild rush for the telegraph office and filed voluminous messages to their constituents, and within an hour replies began to pour in, the general run of them being one tenor, which was "We are comieq." It was expected in answer that fully 5,000 men would arrive in Frankfort during the afternoon and night. WILL LAST LONG TIME. Transvaal Agent Declares the End of Hostilities Is Not In Sight. The Deutsche Teges Zeitung (Berlin) publishes an interview with Dr. Leyds which represents him as havg said: "The war will certainly last a very long time. The Transvaal will decidedly not be the first to seek peace, and will refuse any proposals on the basis of the status quo." Roland Reed Recovering. Roland Reed, the actor, who has been ill in St. Luke's hospital in New York for several weeks, is reported to be resting easily. His physicians say he is on the road to recovery. Savannah SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 3. 1900. MR. MASON ANGERED British Consul at New Orleans Criticised American Officers. THE FACT IS AIRED IN THE SENATE Foreign Relations Committee Roasted. Tillman Makes Speech On Philippine Policy. After some routine business in the sonate, Monday, Mr. Mason, of Illinois, rising to a question of personal privilege, had read an interview purporting to have been held with the British consul at New Orleans, in which the Illinois senator was criticised for his speech in sympathy with the Boers. Mr. Mason severely criticised the British government, not the people, saying that not one-tenth of the English people favored the present war in South Africa and that 95 per cent of the people of this country sympathized with the Boers. He said that it was not the first time British diplomats had interfered in American politics, and he desired to have attention called to this matter now before it could injure the present administration as it had injured Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Lodge said he did not think the diplomatic or consular officer of any government had the right to criticise a senator or a representative or any officer of the government. Mr. Lodge said the gallant fight the Boers were making stirred the heart of every man. Mr. Mason criticised the foreign relations committee for taking no action upon the resolution of sympathy. Mr. Mason then-resumed his criticism of England. He said England had made the war for the purpose of getting the rich矿es of South Africa Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, said at the close of Mr. Mason's speech that he wished to enter his protest against "the abuse of free speech on the floor of the senate." Mr. Pettigrew, speaking on a resolution relating to contraband of war, said that the doctrine that a belligerent might seize foodstuffs even if it paid for them, would mean that in case of war between our two best customers, our trade with both would be destroyed. At 1:45 p.m. Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, took the floor and made a speech on the Philippine question. It was a vigorous denunciation of the administration's Philippine policy. He denied that the blood of the soldiers in the Philippines was upon those who favored imperialism. The president of the United States, by negotiating the treaty of peace and "buying the Philippos," and those senators who assisted in ratification of the treaty were responsible for the present war. Mr. Tillman said that the United States cannot govern any territory that does not belong to the United States, and where our flag floats the constitution and the principles of the declaration of independence must be in force. "BLUE LAWS" REVIVED. Policemen In Baltimore Make Cases Against Violators of Ancient Edict. Nine hundred Baltimora policemen were busy from midnight Saturday until 12 o'clock Sunday night securing the names of violators of the ancient "blue laws," together with their aiders and abettors. The edict sent out by the police department last week, in cooperation with the grand jury, proscribed traffic in every article except milk and ice, druggists being permitted to compound and sell prescriptions only. The evidence thus collected will be referred to the grand jurors, who will investigate each case and present violators of the law for indictment and prosecution. No arrests were made, but the names of all workers, known to be such, were taken and will be referred to the grand jurors. These included editors, reporters, compositors, pressmen and carriers of the Sunday papers, messenger boys, barbers, bootblacks, laundrymen and owners of sweat shops and their employees. Quite a number of storekeepers were also caught "red-handed" and will have to answer to the charge of selling cigars, cigarettes, stationery, newspapers, confectioneries, proprietary articles or groceries. STOCK MARKETS TUMBLE. A General Decline-On the London Exchange Account of the Defeat. Prices were also weak on the Paris bourse, especially in the case of kaffirs. Anti-Trust Law Knocked Out. In the federal court at Chicago, Monday, Judge Kohlsaat rendered a decision declaring the Illinois antitrust law unconstitutional. Fifteen Hundred Dead Left On Battle Field About Spion Kop. WARREN IS FORCED BACK Intrepid Burghers Could Not Be Stopped By the Storm of British Bullets. A London dispatch under date of Sunday says: General Buller reports that Warren's troops have retrieated south of the Tugela river. The Boers say that the British loss is 1,500 killed. It is believed that this includes the wounded. The Boers also claim that 150 of the English troops surrendered at Spion kop. General Buller further states that Spion Kop was abandoned on account of lack of water, inability to bring artillery there and the heavy Boer fire. General Buller gives no list of casualties. His whole force withdrew south of the Tugela river with the evident intention of reaching Ladysmith by another route. Following is the text of General Buller's dispatch, dated Speerman's camp, Saturday, January 27th, 6:10 p. m. "On January 20th Warren drove back the enemy and obtained possession of the southern crests of the high tableland extending from the line of Acton Homes and Hongers poort to the western Ladysmith hills. From then to January 25th he remained in close contact with the enemy. "The enemy held a strong position on a range of small kopjes stretching from northwest to southeast across the plateau from Acon Homes, through Spion kop to the left bank of the Tugela. "The actual position held was perperfectly tenable, but did not lead itself to an advance, as the southern slopes were so steep that Warren could not get effective artillery position, and water supply was a difficulty. "On January 23d I assented to his attacking Spion kop, a large hill, indeed a mountain, which was evidently the key to the position, but was far more accessible from the north than from the south. "On the night of January 23d he attacked Spion kop, but found it very difficult to hold, as its perimeter was too large and water, which he had been led to believe existed in this extraordinary dry season, was found very deficient. "The crests were held all that day against the severe attacks and a heavy shell fire. Our men fought with great gallantry. I would especially mention the conduct of the Second Cameronians and the Third King's Rifles, who supported the attack on the mountains from the steepest side and, in each case, fought their way to the top, and the Second Lancashire Fusilliers and Second Middlesex, who magnificently maintained the best traditions of the British army throughout the trying day of January 24th, and Thorncroft's mounted infantry who fought through the day equally well along side of them. General Woodgate, who was in command at the summit, having been wounded, the officer who succeeded him decided on the night of January 24th to abandon the position and did so before dawn January 25th. FROM BOER HEADOUARTERS. The following was sent out from Boer headquarters, Modder Spruit, under date of Thursday, Jan. 25: Some Vryheid burghers from the outposts from the highest hills of the Spion kop group rushed into the laager saying that the kop was lost and that the English had taken it. Re-enforcements were ordered up, but nothing could be done for some time, the hill being enveloped in thick mist. At dawn the Heidelberg and Carolina contingents, supplemented from other commandes, began the assent of the hill. Three spurs, precipitions projections, faced the Boer positions. Up these the advance was made. The SENATOR BACON SPEAKS. Georgian Declares Against Retention of Philippine Islands. Senator A. O. Bacon, of Georgia, addressed the senate Tuesday afternoon on his resolutions declaring against the retention of the Philippine islands and in favor of the establishment of an independent and stable government for the natives of those islands. The galleries were well filled, among those present being a number of the members of the Georgia colony in Washington. The house adjourned at 1:30, and all of the Georgia members of congress took seats in the senate chamber to hear the senator speak. Tribune.

Scaling the steep hill the Boers found that the British had improved the opportunity and intrenched heavily. Between the lines of trenches was an open velldt, which had to be rushed under a heavy fire not only from rifles, but from lyddite and slurpnel from field guns. Three forces ascended the three spurs, co-ordinately under cover of fire from the Free State Krupps, a Creusot and a big Maxim. The English tried to rush the Boers with the bayonet, but their infantry went down before the Boer rifle fire as before a scythe. The Boer investing party advanced step by step until 2 o'clock in the afternoon when a white flag went up and 150 men in the front trenches surrendered, being sent as prisoners to the head lager. The Boer advance continued on the two kopies east of Spion kop. Many Boers were shot, but so numerous were the burghers that the gaps filled automatically. Toward twilight they reached the summit of the second kopie, but did not get further. The British Maxims belched flame, but a wall of fire from the Mansers held the English back. Their center under this pressure gradually gave way and broke, abandoning the position. Firing continued for some time and the Fusiliers and the Light Horse serving as infantry, threw up thier arms and rushed out of the trenches. The British dead left on the battlefield number 1,500. The effect of the abandonement of Spion kop by the English can hardly be gauged as yet, but it must prove to be immense. GOVERNMENT CRITICISED. All the editorials in London papers of Sunday morning breathed the calm of determination. No one will allow that one reverse could deter the country from the object it has set itself to attain, whatever the sacrifices which may be involved. Very frank criticisms of the government, however, is beginning to be heard even in quarters that have hitherto refrained. The Daily Mail bodily throws all the blame upon Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Lord Latsdownne and Lord Wolsley. DADY TURNED DOWN. Judge Speer Refuses Injunction Sought Against Georgia and Alabama Road. At Macon, Ga., Saturday, Judge Speer, in the case of Dady against the Georgia and Alabama railway, refused the injunction sought to prevent the consolidation of the Seaboard Air-Line system. He referred to the fact that causes substantially similar were pending in the federal jurisdiction of Virginia and North Carolina, holding that the court which first took cognizance the case should carry it to its termination. He further held that only a majority vote of stockholders was necessary for such consolidation in Georgia and that it was not properly maintainable, that because the defendants, John Skelton Williams, occupied the position of a member of the voting trust, president of the Georgia and Alabama and of the Florida Central and Peninsular, that the merger or consolidation brought about through his instrumentality should be enjoined. An interesting part of the decision is that which bears upon the competitive character of the two roads. Tracing their general trend and calling attention to the fact that after leaving Savannah they are in nowisee connected save through the intermediary of one or two shallow rivers on which small steamboats occasionally ply and that intervening the two lines are powerful competitive systems, he says: "It is not difficult to perceive that the contemplated system of the Seaboard Air-Line, instead of tending to defeat competition, must invariably tend to preserve it." BULLER IN DANGER. Boers Now Have Opportunity For Cutting Him Off. A London dispatch to The New York Evening World says: Buller's danger is now forcing itself on the military experts. A committee of national defense has already taken it up and is gravely considering it. Lord Roberts himself has communicated his anxiety, it is said. He has, it is reported, cabled the committee that unless Buller and his forces arrive safely from their present position to the south of the Little Tugela river, they will be in imminent danger of being bottled up. NO 17. BRITISH ADMIT BAD DEFEAT They Now Stand-Before World Disgraced and Beaten. THE GOVERNMENT IS CRITICIZED It Is Reported That Lord Roberts Advises the Surrender of Ladysmith. A special cablegram from London to The New York Evening World, says: "It is learned from a reliable source that Field Marshal Lord Roberts has advised the abandonment of Ladysmith. At the war office, the dispatch adds, no confirmation could be obtained of the advices said to have been given by Lord Roberts." There is much comment in London on the discrepancy between the Boer account of the recapture of Spion Kop and that sent by General Buller. The latter says not a word about the Boers scaling the hill and attacking the British trenches and capturing 150 men who had hoisted the white flag, as at Majuba hill. Instead, he spoke of the maintenance of "the best traditions of the British army." There is not much doubt that the Boer account is correct. It is by no means boastful. It is believed that the war office has further dispatches which it is withholding. Great anxiety has been removed by the announcement that Lord Dundonald's cavalry forces, which it was feared were isolated among the hills in the neighborhood of Acton Homes, are safe on the south bank of the Tugela river. For days nothing had been heard from Lord Dunolald and his mounted brigade. The London military critics have given up hope of saving Ladysmith, which is undoubtedly short of food and ammunition. The garrison went on short rations December 2d. The Morning Leader asks: "Will Ladysmith fall in consequence of Buller's retirement or in consequence of another night attack by the victorious Boers? "The city has already held out its full time. Its last communication across the Tugela otherwise than by electric or sun flashing was on November 2d, last. It was then believed to have enough provisions and ammunition for three months. The three months are up. It is frankly acknowledged that the most serious effort of the present war has dismally failed. There is no sign of a wish on the part of the leaders of public opinion to disguise the ugly facts, but, on the contrary, there is every disposition to face the full difficulties and discover the best way out. In short, the policy voiced everywhere is the gathering up of forces for more effective blows. All hopes of the speedy relief of Ladysmith have been abandoned and the consensus of expert opinion urges the immediate shifting of the theater of war from the rocky kopjes of Natal to the open voidt of the Free State. One thing certain—another long pause is inevitable unless the Boer assumes the offensive, because, in the event of General Buller further attempting to reach Ladysmith, the planning of a new move will necessarily occupy time. The afternoon newspapers are drawing attention to the closeness of the parallel between the federal attack on General Lee at Fredericksburg and the operations on the upper Tugela. Curiously enough there is visible, especially in military circles, an undercurrent of relief at the news that the British are safely south of the Tugela, for the rumors of Saturday had conjured up visions of an immense catastrophe. SUMMING UP CASUALTIES. General Buller's operation has cost 912 men so far officially reported within ten days. Applying to the 205 Spion Kop casualties just reported the rule of proportion, the losses of officers indicate 500 casualties yet to come. The total casualties of the war, compiled from official reports are 9,523, nearly a division. Of these, 2,486 are killed, 4,811 wounded and the rest are prisoners. The aggregate British home troops in South Africa number 116,000 the Natalians 7,158 and Cape-Colonfals 21,000. During the trial in London Monday of a news vender for crying false news he had shouted, "Horrible British Slaughter"—an imperilment by murder, on hearing the prisoners confess to seven days in jail said, "I bring the war office into court." i Tha Savannah Tribune] ee PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY ad Tat TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CF, ST.

Meldrim to remedy the greatevil that exist at the Georgia State Industrial College in that ita president is dab- bling in politics when he should be paying fullest attention to the school. The Leader published in Atlanta has two very pointed articles on this ine in its last issue. One of them is published elsewhere, and the fol- loning's the other one: | “Professor Suggs of the State Normal School, College, Ge, persed throngh the city this week, returning froma tour of North |Georgia in the interest of the political life of the president of the Industrial college for colored youtbe.” If the aboveis true, it ehowsa ter- rible state of affairs at this institu. tion. It ia really bad enough for the president to take up the valuable time of the college and pay it to pol: ities but it is reprehensible for him to cause one of the main instructors of the institution to leave his class and other duties and go hundreds of miles to look after his political fen- ces; especially when the code of lawe of the college says: “These officers are not to engage in any occupation or pursuit which will interfere with aregular punctual discharge of all their official duties.” ‘The patrons of this school did not send their children there to be taught politics, or about political chicanery. ‘This reminds ns that two of the instructors attended one of the dis- trict meetings last week, presumably in behalf of the president, but tliey had the pleasure of secing him repu- diated by those of his neighbors who are determined to have politics aud education divorced. ‘Tue Georgia Baptist in its lasb is- sue, under the heading “Lhe Gospel Ministry,” says the following: “The gospel ia not a profession, it isacalling. It is not ony a high calling but the highest of ull callings. It is the means by which the atone- ment made by Jesus Christ, is to be made effective to lost men. It is the means by which the world gets a correct knowledge of sin, of right- eonsness, and of the judgment to come. The minister is called of God and anointed from heaven to bear the glorious message of salvation to the world. He stands in Chriet’s etead, making known the overtures of sovereign mercy and peranading men to accept them. The minister is Chriet’s representative among men and as buch they must exemplify in their lives and characters the beau- tiful traits which distinguished their divine Master when among men. *” ‘The Baptist has truly portrayed the calling of a true minister -of the gospel, aud ons of theabore descrip- tion cannot find time nor inclination to lead in politics, or do aught that will divide the people.

Bill’s published call of the meeting was for 8 o'clock, but for one the fellows got ina hurry. tha is, a half dozen of them, met ut 730 organized, transicted their buginese and a quarter to eight were out on the street advising good, legal repub- lican voters not to go to the temple because a row MG) in progress. nig- gers were being slain) and that 2 squad of policemen were chucking their bags full of half-de a da kies Tney succeeded in frightening away none bur themselves and some of them sneaked back and asked for: gtveness for their devilment. Ram- bler looked on in astonishment at the proceedings. Old man Murch- ison begged the policemén to clear the hall but as the hal! was rented and paid for and no disorder appar- ent the policemen flatly refused to close out the meeting, and at eight o'clock it was called to order and one of the most harmonious sessions of a political gathering me and Gnbe have ever seen held. The bolting chairman Chisolin_ was deposed for his misconduct in having pre-bolted the meeting, and Capt. W. D. Arm- strong elected in his stead. As the meeting was nearing an end Ranibler slipped out and calling Gabe, jump; ed on his back and in a few moments was at the Second district meeting on Montgomery etreet. It was some- thing new to us to see a public pol- itical gathering in a private residence but as it was none of our business we eaid nothing of it. Seeing that) the Deveaux-Bugg-Savage forces were in control of affairs heré with Dr Bugg holding Dr. Love down in bis parliamentary tactics, w~ slipped away unnoticed and mounting Gabe mad» for the Fourth district meet ing at the Iarris street hall. Here we found everything working har-| muniously and ferling that our prea ence was not needed we hurried to Tom Golden’s for our shure in the| collation which was served to the boys of the Fir-t district. Tom Gul Jen never does things by haives and very one Who went there voted him jolly, good host, and wished such | 4 meeting every night. RAMBLER'S MINOR NOTES.

Brother “Bud” Coffee, I don’t see enough in this matter to commence any bickering between us. We have too many external foes to coutend with ut this junction. But had I not forgot to say that Mr. Coffee will be reelected secretary 1am conscious he would never have demurred. You did not demur Mr. Belcber as one. | Upon the theory that at the con- vention is the time to consider can- didates, Mr. Coffee, whence came your “black horses?” Whatare you going todo with the predictions of THe Savannau Triscene of Jan, 27th pertaining to Hon H.

Don't think you can go on drawing vitality from the blood for nerves, stomach, brain and muscles, without doing something to replace it. Hood's Sarsaparilla gives nerve, mental and digestive strength by enriching and vitalizing the blood. Thus it helps overworked and tired people. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints A small man in a gray coat sat in a Valencia street car and eyed the army officer opposite with ill-concealed disfavor. Finally he remarked to his companion, a tall man: "These monkeys under shoulder straps give me the wearies: "Me, too." "They take themselves seriously," continued the small man. "If we had more real officers and fewer gift upholstered peacocks in the Philippines, the fighting of the men would count for more. I never see one strutting the street but that I want to kick his asleep carcass." "Same here," said the tall man. "There's a sample of him over there," indicating the officer opposite, for whose benefit the conversation was being carried on. "The best he could command would be a cash boy." "Sure," said the small man, with a contemptuous stare at the shoulder straps. "You're getting it pretty hard," milled a passenger, who was seated by the officer. "Yes, pretty tough." "May I ask your name?" "Funston." At the next corner a small man in a gray coat and a tall one in a black cutaway left the car. — San Francisco News Letter. THE NERVES OF WOMEN Lydia E.

I could not sleep at all and was too weak to walk across the floor without aid. The disease had reached a condition where my heart was affected by it, so that often I could not lie down at all without almost suffocating. I took Lydia E.

ACTION WAS HURRIEDLY TAKEN While Contestant Lay at the Point of Death From Assassin's Bullet. A Frankfort special says: While William Goebel lay at the point of death in his room, as the result of an assassin's bullet, the contesting boards which for two weeks had been listening to the evidence in his contest for the governor's chair declared him entitled to the governorship of Kentucky. The boards having in charge the contests between Goebel and Taylor for governor, and Beckham and Marshall, for lieutenant governor, met at 7 o'clock Tuesday night in the city hall to consider the evidence submitted to them, and prepare their report to the legislature. A few legal authorities were read to them at the request of Senator Allen, who wished light shed upon a few doubtful points. The vote was then taken, and by a party vote of 10 to 1, William Goebel was declared to have been legally elected governor of Kentucky. The Beckham-Mitchell-Hall contest was then voted upon and a strict party vote of 9 to 2 settled this matter. No announcement was made of the reasons leading up to the report being made so hurriedly, the boards taking everything at one leap. Each one of the men of both committees announced that he had made up his mind as to the merits of the case, and voted promptly as his name was called. An effort was made by a number of the Democrats to get together a quorum of both houses and hold a night session to hear the reports of the two committees at once, and adopt them, and declare Goebel the governor of Kentucky before morning. They were anxious to give him the honor before he died. So many legislators had gone to Louisville and Lexington for the night, however, that it was found impossible to carry out this programme. BOARD'S REPORT. At the close of the secret session the boards of contest announced the following recommendation to the Democratic legislature that Goebel be seated as governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky: "The undersigned, the board appointed and selected by the general assembly to determine the contest and election for the office of governor for this commonwealth between William Goebel, contestant, and William S. Taylor, contestee, beg leave to report that we have heard all the evidence offered by both parties and we now respectfully report to the general assembly of the commonwealth of Kentucky that in our opinion William Goebel was legally elected governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky on the seventh day of November, 1899, and that he then and there received the highest number of legal votes cast for any one for the office of governor of Kentucky at said election, and we therefore respectfully suggest that this report be approved, and a resolution adopted by this joint assembly, declaring, that said William Goebel, governor-elect of the commonwealth of Kentucky for the term commencing the twelfth day of December, 1899. "We decide that the said William Goebel has received the highest number of legal votes and is adjudged to be the person elected to said office of governor for the term prescribed by law." Reduces Capital Stock. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Chattanooga National bank it was decided by resolution to reduce the capital stock from $300,000 to $200,000. It was found that the amount held as capital stock was unnecessary for the transaction of its business. BRIDGES WILL RETURN. Convicted Ex-County School Commissioner Will Serve a Term. W. M. Bridges, who was convicted of appropriating $5,475.15 of the school funds of Floyd county, Ga., when he was school commissioner, and sentenced to five years' imprisonment in the penitentiary by the superior court of that county, which decision was affirmed by the supreme court, will surrender himself to the officers and serve the sentence imposed by the courts. Bridges is under a $4,000 bond, signed by the brothers of his wife, and has been in business in a small town in Texas for the past year. NUNEZ IN FULL CONTROL. Wood's Order Gives Civil Governor of Havana Full Power. The leading Havana newspapers says the order of Governor General Wood instructing military commanders not to interfere in the functions of civil authorities except in extreme cases, virtually gives General Emillo Nunez, the civil governor of Havana, and not General Lundlow, the military governor, power on the matter of budget. & UNIQUB CATELB RANCH Denuded Timber Lands Prove of Value for Grazing. The important discovery has been made that the thousands of acres of land in Potter County, Pennsylvania, that have been denuded of hemlock make choice pasture for cattle. As an experiment, George E. Brown last spring turned 700 young cattle, purchased in the Buffalo markets, into a hemlock "slashing" of about 800 acres, and during the past two weeks he has reaped a profitable harvest from his experiment by shipping his cattle, now sleek and fat, to Eastern markets. Their keeping cost him nothing, except the wages of two men, who were employed to keep them, from wandering off. Mr. Brown's unique herding having proven so successful, he has purchased nearly 15,000 acres of "slashings" from the Goodyears, and next spring will treble the number of cattle to be pastured on his novel ranch. Besides the cattle, he will also try sheep, which, it is believed, will thrive equally well. Br. Brown will first burn over the entire trace and then sow timothy' upon the soil. A wire fence will be built about the ranch, thus preventing the cattle from roving into the remote districts. Little of the ranch is level. The valleys are not much else than gullies, through each of which flows a stream. Mr. Brown paid but $1 per acre for the land, and his successful experiment in the cattle-grazing business has awakened interest in a vocation which promises to become general throughout the now almost abandoned territory where the lumber man and his axe have hewn off the trees.

The World's Sugar Crop. Two-thirds of the world's sugar crop is now produced in beets. None of the other foodstuffs has seen such rapid development. In 1854 the total product was less than 182,000 tons. Ten years later it was about 500,000 tons. In 1871 it reached and passed the 1,500,000 mark. From that time on there was a gradual increase annually, as the cultivation of sugar beets developed in the different countries of Europe, until in 1898 the product reached the total of 5,000,000 tons a year, more than twice as much as was produced from cane. The estimated crop for 1899 reaches 5,510,000 tons. Since 1892 the product of cane sugar has fallen off. The average product of cane sugar for the last twenty years has been about 2,500,000 tons. The largest crop on record was in 1894, when the total reached 3,530,000 tons. The crop for 1898 was just a little short of 3,000,000 tons. The estimated crop for the past year is 2,904,000 tons. The effect of the development of the beet-root sugar upon the price is quite remarkable. There has been a gradual out a steady decline in the cost of sugar for half a century. In 1871 and 1872 the average price for the year for raw sugar was $5.37 per hundred weight. In 1898, notwithstanding the small crop in Cuba, it fell to $2.39 a hundred weight, the lowest on record, except in 1896, when it was $2.01, and in 1894, when it was $2.15.—Chicago Record.
