Wcuttior Thousand * at the Cemetery
Drenched With the Downpour.
FRANKFORT , Ky. , Feb. 9. Rain
-came down in sheets while the funeral
services wore being held over the body
of Kentucky's dead democratic leader.
The morning dawned dark and
-threatening , but at 9 o'clock the clouds
cleared away and the sun came out
nright and brilliant and there was
every promise of a pleasant day. The
prospect was short-lived , however , for
Just as the hour for the formation of
the funeral procession arrived the rain
began to fall , slowly at first , but with
ver-increasing rapidity , until shortly
after the hour of noon , when the
parade was on the march , the floods
began to descend. There were dry in
tervals , but after them the water came
-again with increasing viclousncss and
just as the hearse left the Capital hotel
a heavy shower began which continued
all the afetrnoon.
The exercises in the cemetery were
conducted before a crowd much smaller
than would have been the case had the
weather been pleasant , but they were
carried out to the letter and tonight
the body of William Goebel lies In the
chapel of the Frankfort'cemetery after
one of the greatest funeral demonstra
tions ever seen in this ntate. As soon
as the weather clears sufficiently the
casket will be consigned to the grave.
It had been feared that there might
arise trouble between the soldiers In
the capltol grounds and democratic
partisans in the line of march when
the parade passed the capltol square ,
"but nothing of the kind occurred. The
soldiers were kept back on the level
with the front of the capltol building
and a line of sentries was posted in
front of them to prevent them from
going near the fence on the south side
of the grounds at the time the parade
was passing the square. Orders had
been issued on the democratic side as
well that no comments should be madp
by the men In the parade as they
passed the grounds where Governor
Goebel received his death wound. The
wisdom of the commanders of the
troops and that of the democratic lead
ers , added to the fact that for twenty-
four hours all of the saloons had been
closed , enabled the day to pass with
out any exhibition of feeling on cither
side.

A TRAGEDY IN NEBRASKA ,
W. R. ICoblimon of Whitman Kills
and Vatally Wound * Illiniirlf.
WHITMAN , Nob. , Feb. 9. Tuesday
night at 9 : GO W. J. Hoblnson , employed
by the Flato Commission company of
South Omahn , shot his wife through
the abdomen , a little below the heart ;
also through the arm aid ICR. Ho
then turned the gun on himself nml
1'red ' a bullet from a 45-callber six-
shooter , which catered a llttlo below
the heart , passing entirely through and
lodging In his clothing.
None of the three shots proved fatal
until today. Airs. Uoblnson died , af
ter suffering dreadful agony. Ho is
still alive , but cannot live.
November 15 last Robinson married
the daughter of L. H. Drown , agent
of the D. & M. railway at Hccla , Neb.
Everyone supposed they lived happily
until a few days ago , when Robinson
eft the roundup and came to Whit
man. Ho drank very heavily , but
showed no effects until a llttlo bctoro
iho shooting. After drinking two
: argo beer glasses of whisky ho talked
a few minutes with friends and started
alone for the Whitman hotel. It Is
: iot known exactly what conversation
ic had with his wlfo while In the room ,
tmt she says she would not answer
his last request definitely.
Ho then pulled n revolver and said :
"Then take this , " at the same time
firing , the shock putting out the lights.
She got away In the dark and tried
to make her escape. Running to the
front door of the hotel , just as she
wont out the door , Robinson llrcd a
second shot , this one Baking effect
in the arm and leg. At this moment
lie pulled the gun on himself , the bul
let passing through his body. Ho fell
over upon his wlfo , wno lay writhing
on the floor.
In a few minutes a big crowd gath
ered and picked the two up. It was
[ ound the first bullet fired at Mrs. Rob
inson struck a corset steel which
stopped its force. The bullet lodged
under the skin , near the spine. Sur
geons extracted it. It was thought
she might live , but the wound was
more serious than expected.
Robinson has always been counted
an Intelligent , excellent cattleman.
The woman was Intelligent and both
had a legion of friends. A few min
utes before the shooting Robinson
warned his friends not to follow or he
would snoot.
The main cause of the shooting was
jealousy. It is thought that contin
ual brooding set the man crazy. Late
ly it was leained that he had threat
ened to shoot his wife. Sentiment is
divided , but is in his favor. Ho says
lie is sorry he did not make a clean
Job ; that ho has one request , to be
buried with her. Robinson Is still
alive , but suffering terribly.

BEAVER CITY , Neb. , Fob. 12 W. H.
Ulanvole , who was convicted in district
court five years ago and who escaped
before sentence was passed , caused a
sensation here by appearing and sur
rendering himself to the officers , dis
trict court going In session , Judge
Grimes of North Plattc presiding. Ho
vas sentenced eighteen months In the
penitentiary and the sheriff left with
him for Lincoln.
The crime for which Blauvelo was
tried was the shooting of Frank Brult-
haupt In July , 1894. The latter was
horribly disfigured , losing one eye
from the effects of a charge from said
shotgun. The young men were said
to bo rivals for the affections of a
popular young lady of this county.
The evidence against him was merely
circumstantial and the verdict wa
largely influenced by the excitement o :
the people and the manifest unfair
ness of the trial judge. Although six
hundred dollars was offered for his ap
prehension , the ofllccrs did not succeed
in his capture. Ho states that he has
been In Nebraska a large portion of
the time and has been at his home
at Edison , this county , frequently. In
court he protested his innocence and
said that ho was tired of being a fug
itive and wished to servo his sentence
and be a free man in order that ho
might care for his mother in her de
clining years. The blauvelo family is
an old and respected one of this coun
ty. Ills father has died since his son's
trial. Blauvele's return and his demeanor
meaner in court have done much to
change public sentiment in his behalf.

OMAHA , Neb. , Feb. 1L' . uoliector
Houtz has made a verbal ruling In a
cuso under the war stamp act of the.
Internal revenue law which will bo of
great interest to county oflleials
throughout the Nebraska collection
district. The matter came up on the
personal application of W. C. Phillips ,
cle-rk of the district court of Lancaster
county. Under the precedents estab-
lir-hed Mr. Phillips has deposited in a
Lincoln bank the money which came
Into his hands by virtue of his ofllce ,
and has issued checks for the amounts
due parties to suits , witnesses and
ethers. Thursday ho applied to the
collector for a ruling as to whether
these checks required a stamp under
the provision excepting legal processes
and other official papers.
The collector held that , as the ex
pense of stamping the cheek would be
borne by the county in case it was re
quired , the check needed no stamp.
The clerk was requested to lilo hid
question in wriltng and the matter ,
together with the ruling of the collec
tor , would be sent to Washington for
final decision , but pending the decision
a. Washington no stamps arc required

DECISION IN THE RATE CASE.
State Ilnnrd of Transportation ItmcliuU
Kit Order Alado In I HIM ) .
LINCOLN , Neb. , Fob. 9. The State
Board of Transportation oy a vote of
3 to l ! , rescinded the order of 1897 re
storing carload rntoa on live stock and
Instructed Its secretaries to Issue a
substitute order on the railroad com-
panics to make a reduction of 10 per
cent In the cxlsi'.ng cattle iaton and 5
per cent In the existing rates for the
transportation of hogs , falling to com
ply with thin order the railroad com
panies will bo required to appear bo-
lore the secretaries of the board and
show cause why such a reduction
should not bo made.
This action was taken by the Hoard
of Transportation after several hours
discussion as to the best means of se
curing equitable rates for the trans
portation of Hvo stork. The board mot
and examined several tables showing
comparisons of rates under the car
load and the per pound systems , Imll-
eating In nearly every instance an In
crease of from 5 to as high as 25 per
cent. J. V.Volfo suggested at the
morning session that the railroads be
given additional time to compile more
definite Information which would show
to a certainty whether the present per
pound rates are In excess of the rates
charged under the carload system.
Other members of the board opposed
the proposition on the ground that sev
eral tables of this nature wore then on
exhibition and that to request the rail
roads to furnish additional Informa
tion would simply add to the delay and
the work of the sccretarlon , who wore
also expected to compile flguies on the
matter of tatos.
Treasurer Mcscrve announced that
ho would endeavor to secure tun adop
tion of a resolution reducing cattle
rates 10 per cent and swine rates 5 per
cent , but the question was not debated
at the morning session of the hoard.

Dear Sir : You want to know now I
got along slnco 1 came Into Northern
Alberta. I am happy to Inform you
that I am not ashamed to' tell.
Wo located Hvo miles northeast of
Wctasklwln ; left Fnrmlngton , Wash. ,
on the 29th day of May , driving all the
way. Wo had time to build our
log house the first fall , and to make
us comfortable for the family and
stock. Wo then built four stables , 18x
20 inside , so that wo could put every
thing Inside them when the cold got
down to the fifties , and worked hard
getting up the stables , and got through
dubbing on the 1st of December ; but.
to our surprise , wo had no use for the
stables only for the milk cow and two
spans of horses. The balance of the
horses lived on the pralrlo all winter ,
and took care of themselves. The doors
of two stables wore loft open for them
to go Into In a cold time , but they
would not do It , but stayed out on the
pralrlo the coldest night wo had and
looked as spry as crickets.
I can go ten rods back of my house
and count ten residents. I know all
of their circumstances. Every one of
them have doubled their cultivated
land , and doubled thulr animals , and
a great deal more. All of us are com
paratively out of debt and an unusual
ly big crop to thresh and prospects of
a fair price , and I expect wo are as
well contented a lot of people as there
Is to bo found from Florida to the
Klondike.
My sou bought two pounds of twine
to the acre , and when wo started to
bind Bomo barley wo found that In
stead of taklnn two pounds to the aero ,
it was taking nearly live pounds. Then
you ought to have scon him hitch up a
team and nmko for town for 100 pounds
more. I cannot say how it will thresh.
All I can say Is that it Is well-headed ,
and takes an enormous amount of
twine.

tives , examine in what ho roads ; how
can a man conceal his character ?

Kcar of Catching Cold.
The appearance of the letters of
Robert Louis Stevenson has led to a
fresh outburst of reminiscence in re
gard to his American visits. One
writer tells how during his stay at
Saranac , in the Adlrondncks , durini ;
the wlnor of 1887-8 , certain hours on
Saturday wore set apart for the re
ception of visitors. To .guard agalnat
drafts the front door was stopped up
wih | quilts , and the public was re
ceived In the kitchen. Stevenson nat
urally guarded with unceasing vigll-
ur.co against catching cold , and It WIIH
an inflexible rule that no one afflicted
with a cold should be brought Into
personal contact with him.
