the building from which the shooting was
done was enough to make trouble for
htm.
Colonel John Davis , custodian of Iho cap
ital grounds , tells a story that agrees with
that of Whlttnker.
iAs Boon as It was known that the bul
let which struck down Mr. Goebcl 'had ' come
from the building to the cast , a group of
men gathered In front of the door on the
cast sldg. Others ran around to the door
on the west aldo ( o prevent the escape of
anybody from there. Several men at
tempted to enter the floors from the out
side , but were prevented by groups of
mountaineers who stood In the doorways.
Some of these men held Winchesters in
their hands and presented an aspsct BO un
inviting that no attempt was made to
search tho. building and nobody gained en
trance to H for Bevoral minutes after the
shooting' had been 'done nnd the assassin
had had ample opportunity to escape.
Carefully Lnlil Plan.
That the shooting of Mr. Goobel was the
result of a. carefully-laid iilan Is without
question. The man who did the work had
ovldontly '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 eight
before ftrinij. Ever since the influx of
the mountaineers last week a largo number
of them have been sleeping In the upper
part of the state house. It is not known ,
however , that any of thcso men did the
work or that they had any knowledge of the
premeditated crime. Tljpro has not , 'so far ,
been discovered ! the slightest direct evidence
pointing to any man and It Is not likely
that any will ever bo found.
The man who fired the shots took the
precaution to conoeaKlits location by using
BmokftlDS8'pow4tei'l'cartrJclgc'B.ft iA' score of
people ' wor.cCwj erZfc'tbQy M Juil .yjlv of

which powder smoke is a moro or less prom
inent feature and both declare that while
they could tell the general direction from
which the bullets came , they could iiot
Biiess the spot from which they were fired.
Uenoiiiiuoil l > y ItfiitilillciuiN.
The republican state odlclals and members
of the legislature without exception de
nounced the shooting In the most immeasur
able terms. Governor Taylor Immediately
caused a email address to be published In
which ho declared the affair to be a disgrace
and an outrage and calling for the most
sober condemnation. He sent orders at
once to , Adjutant General Collier directing
him to take steps for the preservation of.
ordor.
General Collier Is a republican and Is op
posed to Mr. Goebcl. Ho declared the bhoot-
Ing to be a most cowardly affair and ono
that upon every consideration was to bo re
gretted. Ho lost no time In limiting
speeches , however , and tieforo Goebel had
been lifted from the ground to bo carried
to the hotel General. Collier bad telephoned
to the armory , a half-mile distant , directing
the local Infantry company , which was sta
tioned there'- under command of Captain
Walcott , to proceed at once to the capltol
grounds , toke pOHsejiilon of them mid Its
approaohcs , allowing nobody to enter the
catcs.
Twenty minutes after the shooting Captain
Walcott and his men marched across the
front of the capltol building and baited at
the foot of the steps. Orders were Issued
to outside companies throughout the state
to make ready to come to Frankfort , the
entire stat'C ' guard being cuiicd Into servlct.
It wdB feaied tliat-tl'C news of the shooting
wo. ild bo Intiame the democrats that they
wou'ul come lo Frankfort In swarms , while
the moiiiitatnecro would lose no time In
coming to the capital for the purpose of up
holding their party principles.
lFiiin uifH Orriitly Usclti-il.
The excitement amonc the followers of
Mr. Goebel was generated and for n time
immediately following the shooting of their
leader , there was moro than a pcojlblllty
that eomo of the hotheads would seek ven
geance upon their political enemies. ThreaU
were made against republican leaders and
attornoyn during tbo 'excitement , but leadIng -
Ing democratic members of the house and
senate soon brought them to calmer talk.
An the news spread thn ugh the- streets
that Qocbel hud. been fhoi , men began to
pour toward tbo capital grounds from nil
Hides , one throng being led by two firemen ,
one of whom carried n Winchester rll'.i' ,
which the other finally pievallcd upon hint
to lay uslde.
A shooting affray occurred In a saloon
about this time , Craig Ireland , u sporting
man , 'fatally wounding Ike Williams , a
negro. Tko men were In an altercation
when Williams struck Ireland , who prowp'.lr
ent a bullet through tbo negro's stomach.
Ireland was locked up. This uccand shoot
ing caused treat excitement for a ( line and
It wan thought the long-threatened political
shooting In ccncrul all ulrng the Una liud
been Inaugurated. Tula affair bad nothing
to do with the political situation.
Senator-elect Hlackburn , who was In
Washington , was Informed of the shooting
through the loug-dlstanco telephone and
sent back u message , urging the democrats )
! o remain quiet and take no rath action of
ny sort.
The evening trains did not bring as large
a crowd of peopleas was expected , Word
Just before retiring , If your liver ii
aluffiUliiOUt of tune and you fenldull ,
bilious , constipated , laUo ft dose ct
you'll bo all right In the mornine.
I
had been received from Covington , Ky. . the
homo of Mr. Goebcl , that n largo crowd
would bo down , but not over a. score ot
people came In nnd they were not of the
class that create disturbances. Nu'.neroua
Inquiries were received by members of Iho
legislature from their constituents netting If
they' were needed. In all cases word was
Kent back that nobody was needed and that
crowds , least of all things , were wanted just
now. Several small places In the neighbor
hood of Frankfort sent In a man or two to
obtain a general Idea ot the situation and
carry reports back. In every cns the mes
senger , whether democratic or republican ,
was sent back with the word that now wns
a good time to keep out ot Frankfort.

Jutt outside the state house gate when Sena

"Colonel Eph Lilian ! came along about
twenty feet ahead of Senator Gocbol. Ho
was alone. Goebel waa accompanied by
Colonel Jack Chlnn and there were not a
half dozen people scattered about the yard.
I heard a keen , sharp rrack of a Winchester
rifle and saw Goebcl throw both hands to
hlo right side. He reeled and Colonel Chlnn
Jumped forward to catch him. Before bo
could do KO the senator fell to the ground ,
My first Impulse was to see who fired the
shot. I saw the llgure of a man at the third-
story window nnd am sutUfted he fired It.
Ho used smokeless powder. There were
only two sbots Ilred. The second shot waa
tired after Gccbel fell to the ground , Chlnn
und Llllard were the first to reach him. "

COVINOTON , Ky. . Jan. 30. This city , the
home of William Goebcl slnco his youth , has
been In n utnlo of great excitement todny ,
slnco the shooting it Frankfort became
known.
Senator Goebcl was born In n small hamlet
In Sullivan county , Pennsylvania. With his
father and mother ho came to Covlngton ,
Ky. , when qulto young. William entered
the law office ; of Stevenson & Myers about
1S73. Ho afterward became the law partner
of Governor John W. Stevenson nnd later
of John 0. Carllele. Ik was prominent as
n member of fho democratic etato committee
for years nnd always attended conventions.
The democratic state convention at Louls-
vlllo last June nominated Oocbcl for gov
ernor over Stone and Harding.
Senator Goebcl was the author of the pres
ent election law of Kentucky , a inc.isure
which has attracted unuisual attention on
account of Us peculiar provisions. On the
returns of the county boards , afterward af
firmed by the State Board of Klectlons under
the Ooebel election law , the certificate nf
election was given to Taylor , the contcatco.
Oybel'n first advent In politics wns as a
catiuldato for etato senator to fill the unux-
plrcd term of James B. Bryan , who was
elected lieutenant governor , with , Buckncr.ln
1SS7 , nnd ho has slucei continually repre
sented Kenton county in the ecnntc.
Ho steadfastly refused to have his picture
taken up to his candidacy for governor and
persistently refused to write an n.utoblog-
raphy of his life. Ho 1ms made his homo for
years with Mrs. Bryson on Sixth street. Ho
was very slmplo In hta manners and , as Mrs ,
Bryson often remarked , he was so quiet nnd
gciitlo that they would scarcely know that
ho was in the house. Ho was a hard , close
student , continually poring over law books
or literature. Ho IBII years of ago and has
never married.
Goebcl was n fearless man and has had
various encounters , the most notable one
being with John L. Stanford , president of
the Farmers' nnd Traders' bank of this city ,
*
jAprll 11 , 1893 , and In which Stanfurd was
killed by Goebel In ficlf-defciise.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 30. There Is not ths
slightest disposition on the part of the ad-
mlnlstiatlon to Interfere In Kentucky af
fairs even In vlow of the lamentable events
of today. In tbo words of a member of the
cabinet Kentucky will be left to manage her
own affairs. There will be no federal troops
sent Into the state except on call from the
legislature after the regular constitutional
method and the ofllclals regard the possibil
ity of such n call as too remote to be enter
tained.

the loan , which Is payable la seventy-live .
years , guaranteed by all the Persian cits- '
turns receipts , except the revcnuro of the
customs house of Paw and the customs' '
house of the Persian gulf. I
- In the event of a delay In the payments '

LONDON' , Jan. 30. There la a widespread
Idea hero that the Persian loan hne finally
accomplished Russia's1 Ions-laid plans to
obtain complete political and financial con
trol of Persia , with the- double object of
ousting the British and assuring Kussla an
outlet on the Persian gulf.
HEHMN , Jan. 30. The National Zeltung ,
referring to the Russian loan , says : Thcro
Is no doubt that Persia will hereafter be
dependent on Russia. The latter may have
a doubtful financial'bargain , but , politically
considered , the transaction Is unquestionably
of the highest Importance.

that Persia has practically become Russian.
The i > rcfB takes that view , which the latest

\VASHINOTON' , Jan. 30. Hon. J. H.
Oclger , who succeeded Kroil Whlteslde as a
Htato senator In the Montana legislature
when the latter was unseated , was the llrsl
wltnewM toJay before the senate committee
on privileges and elections In Its Investiga
tion of the charges against Senator Clark
of that state. Mr. ( lelgor said that'he had
bcpn the re-publican candidate for the senate
from Klathcad county. Ho was asked
whether ho had not said In his speech ac
cepting the nomination that his vote could
not bo purchased for a democrat for the
Kcnntr. Ho replied that It was his Intention
to convey the Idea that ho could not be
"handled. " Ho had said that If ho sold out
ho hoped his constituents would tnko him out
and hang him , "and I still feel that way , "
ho said ,
Ho had not said that ho would not vote
for any democrat , but It had bee his In
tention to prevent a deadlock. He had also
said that thcro were other matters moro
Important to como before the legislature
thnn the election of some rich man for the
United States senate.
Upon being questioned concerning his
Ihinnclnl condition when he was nominated
ho said "It was just moderate. " He had
been In the Intel business and sold out :
ho could not remember Just how much he
received , but after much questioning said
ho thought the amount was about $25. Hn
also received $200 from his mother's estate
and had borrowed $300 for the campaign.
After he was given his seat he had voted
twice for Leonard for senator and then for
\V. A. Clark.
Mr. Gelger hesitated considerably over
what money ho had deposited In the National
bany at Kallspell during the session of the
legislature , but admitted that In May last
ho had bought a draft for $2,500 , paying
currency for It. Ho had afterward In
August opened an account at that bank ,
depositing $800 In currency In the name of
"John H. Oclger , agent. "
Slnco that time he had made other de
posits and had borrowed from the bank
$2,300. Ho had gotten the $2,500 first de
posited from several sources , Including $500
or $600 for his service nnd mileage in thu
legislature.
"Some of It I got at poker and tlu > faro
bank , " he said , and added : "I don't re
member whether I won any at poker my
experience was about even ; but at faro
bank I'dld. "
"Did you win $2,000 at faro ? "
"It was some short of $2,000 , but at
Helena and Uutto together I think I quit
about $1,500 , or $1,800 ahead. "
"You were u state senator ; did you not
know It was n misdemeanor to play faro ? "
"Well , I was about as conscientious in
that matter as some other Montana offi
cers. "
Continuing , he said he had never made
any great winning at one time , never more
limn $180 , but he had been uniformly lucky
and had played often. He had also gotten
$100 In money for mining stocks fcold to
Spokane parties.
PACIFICATION MUST BE FIRST
Teller llellevOH l'iilU' < l S < n < < > N' U Com
mitted1 ( o Self-Government of
the KIllpliiiiH.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 30. For more than
three hours today Bacon , democrat of Geor
gia , occupied the attention of the senate
with a discussion of the Philippine ques
tion. His argument , which had for Its basin
his own resolutions declaratory of the gov
ernment's policy toward the Philippines ,
waa listened to carefully by his fellow sena
tors and by u large gallery audience.
Ho maintained that the United States
owed as much to the Filipinos as It does
to the Cubans , to whom , by resolution o"
congress self-government had been prom
ised , and he strongly urged that hlo resolu
tions declaring It to bo the Intention of this
government to confer the right of govern
ment upon the Filipinos bo adopted , not
only as a means of terminating the war , but
of extending to : v struggling people Justice
and freedom.
As Bacon was concluding a lively col
loquy occurred between him nnd woveral
other senators. Spooner Inquired on what
theory Bacon proposed a declaration by
this congress that could In any way bind
subsequent congresses.
Bacon responded that the game declara
tion which the Flfty-Blxth congress had
made with reference to the Cubans ought
to be made with refercnco to the Filipinos.
Congress had the right to make such a
declaration , even If H were not binding
upon future congresses.
Teller , the author of the Cuban resolu
tion , said that ho had not Incorporated In
the resolution the people of all Spanish
possessions acquired by 'the United Staten
in addition to tlio Cubans. Ho believed that
the United States stocd before the world
committed to the self-government of the
Filipinos that Is , such self-government as
they were capable of. He maintained that
the pacification of the Islands must be the
first object of the United States , however.
He regretted that this pacification now must
bo by tbo sword ,
The pension calendar was taken up.
Among the bills passed was one granting
to Annlo Brumby , mother of Lieutenant
Brumby , who was Admiral Dewey's flag
lieutenant , ? 50 n month.
The following bills were pafead : "To pay
$5,000 to the widow of John Phillips In view
of his services na n dispatch bearer In thu
Sioux war. To limit the cost of the public
building at Cheyenne , Wyo. , to $325,000. ,
A resolution was adopted for the reading
of Washington's farewell address In the
senate on February 12 ! , by Senator Forakcr
of Ohio.
W. V. Sullivan , recently elected senator
from Mississippi , was sworn In.

three made n practice of taking-one or. two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia TiiblelH utter each

"Ono of them told'mo he had Buffered so
much from stomach trouble. UNI I lU one. time
lie had been obliged to quit Iho. ronili but
slnco using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets had
been entirely free from Indigestion , but ho
continued their use. especially while travel
ing , on account , of Irregularity In meals anil
because , like all traveling men , ho was often
obliged to cut what hn could gel and not
always what ho wanted.
"Another , who looked thq picture of health ,
said be never ate a pioal without taking n
Stuart Tablet afterward , , because , be could
cat .what ho pleased , and when tie pleased
without fear of. n lcoeple s night or any
other trouble.
"Still another used them because he was
subject to pin on etoinnch. causing pressure
on heart and lungs , -iiorUiess of breath and
distress In chest , which he no longer experi
enced since using the tablets regularly.
"Another claimed thai Stdnrt's Dyspepsia
