REV. THOMAS N. ARNOLD.
Pays High Tribute To The Demo
cratic Nominee For Governor.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 29.-(Spe-
cial. )-The Rev, Thomas N. Ar
mold, Of this city, one of the most
widely known and best-beloved
christian ministers in this section
of Kentucky, has written letter to
a friend in Montgomery county, in
which he takes occasion to say
something commendatory Ex-senator
/. Goebel, the Democratic guberna-
torial nominee. That part of his
letter is as follows:
"Having formerly lived many
years in Covington, ] have known
William Goebel since his early boy
hood, and have watched with inter
est his rise to his present command
ing plsition. There must have
been Unusual ability and assurance
of integrity in the young attorney
when the late Senator John w. Ste
venson admitted him to his office,
and eventually committed to his
trust, without bond, his handsome
kestate.
"As the partner of the Hon. John
G. Carlisle, Mr.. Goebel represented
theFlrm during Mr.. Carlisle's long
official life in Washington, and for
many years he has been a leading
bud trusted attorney at the Coving-
ton bar. No man in that city or in
the State bears reputation freer
from reproach in his private, protes-
sional and political life than Will
/ liam Goebel. Unhapplly, his pre-
sent political eminence has made
him target for calumny.
- "William Goebel is a splendid IL
lustration of what a young man
unaided by fortune, unaided by in
fiuential friends or family prestige,
can accomplish by good morals, en-
ergy and devotion to duty. His
life is model for young Kentucky
manhood.

YOUNGEST OF SHIP CAPTAINS
And Master of the Biggest Sailing Yes
sci Afloat.

1t is given to one man only to be
the youngest ship captain ahoat and
the skipper of the largest sailing YES
sci in the world. These two excep-
tional honors are enjoyed by James
W. Murphy, aged 21, and master of
the big Shenandoah.
''My people being seafaring folks"
said Capt, Murphy, ''it naturally fell
to my lot to go to sea rather young.
My first passage around Cape Horn
was made at the age of 16 months, and
l have been on the sea most of the
time since then, with the exception
of eight years spent at school at Bath,
Me-, my home. l have been on the

andoah. l have served in several ca
pacities on this ship in the four years

sages to and from England and the
continent, to New York and San
Francisco. Our narrow escape from
capture by a Spanish cruiser while
on our way to Liverpool from San
Francisco, off Queenstown, year ago,
furnished a little excitement for us.
'The most exciting experience I
have ever had was our escape from a
meteor. One day there was a rush
through the air like the descent of a
huge mass falling with prodigious
speed. The mass shot past our bows
and plunged into the sea, leaving us
gazing at each other with startled
eyes, wondering what missile of the
heavens had SO narrowly missed us.
1t dawned ON me at last that we had
been saved by margin of few feet
from being sent to the bottom by a gi-

everything possible to make their
visit pleasant one. The Rev. t.
C. Peters, pastor of the Methodist
church at that\ place, has been I'M
ceasing to his EFFORTS to prepare for
their entertainment. The pulpits

him SO badly that he could not walk

he began using Chamberlain's Pain

HARD HEELS.
Tough Feet Of People who Have Never
Worn Shoes.


People who have always worn shoes
think Of the foot as a tender and deli
cate extremity. The idea Of man
scratching matches on his bare heels
seems as startling to us as the stories
of the negro soldiers Of Dahomey
charging barefoot over thorn hedges
in their regular infantry drill. Yet
if we did not wear shoes nature would
provide the former substitute, hard
heels.
An old prospector in Nevada was
telling stories of the Washoe Indians
who live in Carson valley and the
Sierra Nevada mountains. Wearing
neither shoes nor moccasins, they
travel on foot over the rough and
stony ground, now fishing in the cold
Sierra lakes, now gathering berries
and seeds in the valleys, until the up
per surface of their feet becomes like
the outside of an old rubber ball, all
chapped and cracked. Jerry Racraft,
the prospector, was trying to give an
idea of how tough the bottoms of their
feet were.
Gone day ! was over at Genoa at
Pete Meyers blacksmith shop, get
ting my pony shod. Pete had heated
his bar Of iron red-hot and then cut
off chunk from the end. You know
how the pieces fly when they clip off
the ends that way? Maybe you have
stepped on them when you were a
boy. Well, one Of these pieces
jumped about ten feet and sunk in the
dust on the floor.
"There were some Washoes camped
in the rocks up on the hillside, and
about the time Pete clipped off that
chunk of hot iron a Washoe buck
came down and stood in the door,
watching him hammer out the shoe.
He didn't say anything, but by and by
he got interested and walked in way,
Well, sir, he planked his heel down
square on that chunk of hot iron in
the dust, and never twitched a muscle.
There he stood, as calm as you please,
looking out through his hair at Pete
pretty soon smoke began to rise
up from his foot, and after awhile he
caught a Whit of it. He swung his
head around slow and began to sniff
inf, mff, mff,' but he couldn't make
out what it was. 1t smelled as much
like horses hoof when you put
hot shoe on it as anything.
"Just as he was settling down t.
watch Pete again there came painet
look in his face, surprised like, ant
the next minute he was jumping al
over the shop, kicking out like mule
and grunting: 'Wuh, huh, umph!,
like that at every kick, while Pett
and I were laughing to bust our
selves.
swell, sir, that iron was burned il
so far he didn't get it out until about
the third kick, and then he sent il
clean across the shop and bang againSt
the wall. The Indian had hole il
his heel big enough to put his thumb
in, and I don't guess he ever exactly
understood how it got there, either
No, he didn't pay no shoemaker foul
bits to get a new half sole. JUS
limped up the canyon to a pine tree
filled the hole with pitch and walked
back fat-footed, same as ever

Rutland, June 2-James Mcdonald the
prisoner who made his escape from the

OF the Keepers at the House of Correction
and brought back to custody about 2:W
O'Clock this morning. lie was not recap

but not so bloody as the one he made TO
gain his liberty. Thinking that McDon-

practically every point where he could 60 {

Mr.. Bree and his party We're stationed
at the double road crossing" between
Center Rutland ana Proctor and when
some Of the searchers left him about 10 80
o'clock, Bree decided to stay ougcr.
About IL O'Clock, as Bree was walking
Slowly toward Rutland trundliug his hicy
Gle beside him and had reached the oil
mill by the disused Rutland Valley sta
ton, he saw Mcdonald in the road ahead
of him. The recognition was mutual and
McDcnald dove into the woods. Bree rode
up to the place where the man had disap-
peared and called to him several times to
stop but Mcdonald kept on, making as
much noise as an elephant going through
an African jungle. Bree fired at the place
where the noi.e came from several times
win no result. He then jumped to n S
wheel and rode back to the bridge where
he waited an hour or so and then thinking
he would walk along and notify the man
near Proctor, started to leave the bridge.
The m Don was up but in this spot It was
very dark.
He was just turning out of the bridge
when he ran plump into the arms OF the
man he was after and fleece struggle
began. Neither could get an advantage.
McDonald's shirt was torn off and at last
they stood, each holding the other at
arms length and glazing in each others
eyes. One fighting for his liberty, The 9TH
er. undoubtedly, for his life.
Let me co. painted Mcdonald. You'll
never get away from me alive replied Nc
Donald. He didn't 1t must have been
