A GOEBEL SHOT.
Assassinated in Frankfort, KY. On
Tuesday-- He Still Lives.

Senator VIM. GOebel was shot down
in front of the capitol building at 11:15
Tuesday morning in Frankfort, Ky.
He was on his way from his room in
the Capitol Hotel to the Senate Cham
Der. Col. Jack Chinn was with him
at the time OF The tragedy. The House
of Representatives was in session and
every one of the 90 members present
heard the five reports of the rifle as
they rent the air. In a moment Goe-
bells helpless body was lying on the
ground and as Chinn bent over him he
could see the hole in the right side Of
Goebel's clothing that told only too
we'll the awful story. There were many
persons standing about the front OF
the capitol building and willing hands
volunteered to carry the wounded
Democratic leader to a place of safety.
John Whitaker, Of Butler county,
was arrested and jailed charged with
the shooting. 1t is said Whitaker
emerged from the building a few mo-
ments after the shooting and came out
at the side, but started to go back. 1t
is thought Whitaker took part in the
shooting. Five pistols were found on
Whitaker when arrested.
Later reports from Kentucky are
conflicting. Some say MI. Goebel is
dead. while others say he is living with
chances against his recovery. On
Wednesday he wrote on a piece of pa
per these words: Tell my friends to
keep COOL" Great excitement still
prevails and there is no telling what
will happen. Mr.. Taylor, who is at
present acting governor, has adjourned
the Legislature to London, KY. The
Republicans had planned to kill two
judges of the Supreme
Court at the time Goebel was shot.

SORE.

ing at Tie Siding Last Night
TrubIe Over a room in the Hotel
Wounds May be Serious.

CD. Thayer came down from Tie
Siding today with a very sore back.
He says Richard Richardson, proprie-
tor of the hotel at Tie Siding. cut him
nearly to pieces with a long knife, and
he doesn't yet know why. Four deep
cuts in his back corroborate at least
a part of the mans story.
Thayer works on a steam shovel in
one of the grading camps. He is
about 80 years old. He says that he
has been sleeping for a month past in
Richardson's hotel but that when he
went to his room last night he found
another a in his bed. He went
back to the office and protested to
Richardson. who told him he had not
engaged a room for that night.
We'll, but I have been sleeping here
for a month" protested Thayer, ac-
cording to his story.
That don't make any difference.
Get right out of here," responded
Richardson, and mayer says he a
to fee from a big club Richardson
came at him with. He hurried to get
out of the office and to do so had to
shove the hotel man aside. Then, says
the injured Thayer, Richardson at
tackled him with a knife and almost
killed him.
Somebody certainly cut Mr.. Thayer.
There are long gashes in his coat and
the doctor found corresponding slashes
il. his back, one of them fully four
inches long.
A warrant charging aggravated Ss-
sault has been sworn out against
Richardson.

OF LITTLE
FLORENCE PEAlE TODAY.

The funeral of Florence Peale, the
J-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edmund Peale, was held this after
con from the cathedral. Services
were conducted by Dean Cope and
there was a large gathering of mourn
ing friends and sympathetic ac-
quaintances. The floral tributes were
beautiful and numerous, among them
being several dainty offerings from
the former playmates of the little girl.
A touching tribute, too, was the
thought of the school children to dec
crate with flowers and drape in
mourning the desk once occupied by
Florence in the school room.
1t has been rumored that the little
child's death was due to a contagious
disease. DR.. Miller and DR.. Stevens
have agreed after a careful diagnosis
and examination that there was not a
trace of any contagion present. Any
alarm there may have been over the
cast is therefore quieted.

had desired to do it, and it was abso-
lutely necessary now that he should
use the finest diplomacy, in order to
avoid falling between two stools. a..
II will 60 at once, general, and have
conference with Louallier and Rof-

compliance, "and, if possible, I will
have the adjournment declared"
"Governor, there can be no ifs OF
ands about it; the adjournment must
come at once" exclaimed Jackson,
with overbesr1ng ste1nness. "They
will adjourn, or will adjourn them!'
Claiborne's face paled with sudden
anger. but he made no response; sim
ply bowed and retired. As he went
out he met Lieutenant Ballanche com
ing in. The young man looked fatigued
and somewhat in hurry, as if he had
come from a distance in great haste
and was bearing important news; he
greeted Claiborne deferentially as he
passed, but did not stop. The sandy
mud showing in splashes all over him
told of long, hard ride.
The governor would have given 8
good deal to know what message Bal
lanche was bearing, and under any
other circum stances he would have
turned back into the room. he coul6
not trust himself to do this now; hi

in the young officers look and man
ner, however, that told stirring
story.

The Divine Law-Abider is Happy.

We often think of law, even the d.
vine law, as a barrier, operating st9 lilhts
our freedom and preventing our adyanee
where we wish to go. Sometimes THIS lSs
true, but only when our wish is eyit, OF.
at least mistaken. Then we always tearn
that it was better for us to be reStraineG
than allowed unchecked freedom. Law:
really is protection and glide. II y:
not like q bar across a bridge, Wmcn
stops travel. 1t is rather like the railing,
or parapet at each side, which preVenti
stepping aside and falling into the,
water. hut do not impede legitimate, nat-
ural advance. Law is something TO pe
highly regarded and cherished. For tnes
divine law we ought to have a warmer
feeling. When we have learned what lt;
really is we love it. 1t is q reYeiationt OF
our Heavenly Fathers character and,
WAYS. Next to his self-revelation I'M q
personal form, in Jesus Christ, it shovg
us what he is. Its unyieldingness Is fytt
of tenderness. Its authority is not fhats
Of selfishness or mere brute force, burz
that of most considerate, enlightened, AZ
fectionate interest in our best welfare.
Therefore Gods law promotes our tipes
happiness. For the individual, for the
community, for society in general there
is no other pathway to. prosperity and
peace excepting that which the law6ofs
God points out. Whatever, is in har-
mony with that. no matter how unlDvlt-
ing in form, is safe and rich with bless
ing. Whatever is out Of line with that
no matter how attractive, involves temp-y
tation or peril, or both To love God
rightly is to love and obey his law, bothk
because it is his and because Of itsfnhess
rent beauty and value to our souls. s
