Deed OF AN ASSASSIN
VIM. Goebel of Kentucky Shot
Down from Ambush by an
Unknown Coward.

Senator Gosbel, the Democratic
~eontestsnt for the GovernorshiP Oh
Kentucky, was shot down oy AZ
unknown assassin while passing
through the capitol grounds 81
Frankfort on Tuesday last. The shot
vas fred from the third story OF
large building opposite the capitol
in which a majority Of the State ON
Gals have their Offices, and there IL
no clue to the identity OF the COW
ardly murderer. The ball struck
the Senator under the right arm pit,
passing through the right lung ana
out under the left shoulder blade.
The victim Immediately sank to the
ground, and although everything
that surgical skill could devise has
been done for him. he is slowly
| sinking and no hope is entertained
Of his recovery.
The greatest excitement prevails
at Frankfort and martial law has
been declared by the Governor; but
as the contest board q few minutes
after the shooting declared Goebei
entitled to the g~ubernatorial office
there is a disposition on the part OF
the Democratic members Of the
Legislature to ignore Governor Tay-
lor and his orders.
A second proclamation issued by
the Governor on Wednesday adiourns
the session of the Legislature to meet
at London, Laurel county, on Feb
ruary 6. Several attempts were
made during the day by the Demo-
cratic members to call the Legislat-
ure to order at different points in the
city, but each time they were frus-
trated by the militia and it is probable
they will be obliged to go to London
in accordance with the Governors
proclamation.
Should Mr.. Gobel live until the
Legislature meets he will undoubted'
ly be declared Governor OF Kentucky,
and in the event of his death j. G.
W. Beckham, the Democratic con-
testee for Lieutenant Governor
will be given the place.

San Francisco Chronicle: An
Oakland newspaper on Saturday af-
ternoon printed a sensational story
that Miss Myrtle Montrose of the
Nevada State University basket. ball
team was SO seriously injured in the
game with the University of Califor-
mia team last Fall that two operations
had been performed on her skull and
she would soon have to submit to a
third. which might prove fatal. Two
morning newspapers of this city
worked over the item yesterday with
out any apparent effort to verify the
story at Reno. The simple facts are
that the girl, who had her nose
broken in the match game, is in good
health and is attending the college.
The story was evidently invented by
some one who objects to basket ball
as q recreation for women.

A bill is now before Congress pro-
viding for the election of United
States Senators by direct vote of the
people. A large majority of the
members of the lower House are in
favor Of the measure, but it is said
the Senators themselves will almost
solidly oppose it. Until the people
of the different States demand of
their representatives in their Legisla-
lures that they vote for no candidate
for United States Senator who will
not pledge himself to vote and work
for this measure there is no hope that
the American House Of Lords will
consent to change the methods OF
their election.

The editor of the Carson Appeal is
wrestling with the potato question
and ia indignant because California
produce dealers have gotten into the
habit OF coming into Nevada, secur-
ing onr choicest tubers and selling
them at a round profit in California.
As a remedy the Appeal says sit
would not be a bad idea for the pro-
ducers to appoint some sharp business
man and let him handle the entire
crop from this section" The idea
is certainly not q bad one. the only
difficulty with it being the impossi-
bility of carrying it out. Why would
it not be better idea for some smart
Nevada business man to forestall the

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN
STUMBLING BLOCK.

The carefully prepared Financial Oil,
which has received the endorsement
Of President Mckinley and his repre-
sentatives in both branches of Con-
gress, and which it has been confident
ly expected would pass by . strict
party vote, has been amended by
Senator Chandler Of New Hampshire,
one OF the ablest Of Republican Sena-
tors, who offers the following two sec
tons to be added to the bill:
"Section 8. That, in accordance
with the act Of November l, 1898
which repeats part of the act OF July
IA, 1890, it is hereby reafirmed and
declared to be the existing policy OF
the United States to continue the use
of both gold and silver as standard
money, and to coin both gold and
silver as standard money. and to coin
both gold and silver into money OF
equal intrinsic and exchangeable
value; such equality to be secured
through international agreement or by
such safeguards of legislation as will
insure the maintenance OF the parity
in value OF the coins Of the two metals
and the equal power of every dollar
at all times in the markets and in the
payments of debts; and it is further
declared that the efforts OF the Gov
eminent should be steadily directed to
the establishment of such q safe
system OF bimetallism as will maintain
at all times the equal power Of every
dollar coined or issued by the United
| States in the markets and in the pay
ment of debts.
"Section 10. That the provisions
of the act of March 8. 1897, authoriz-
ing the President to appoint Commits
sioners to. any international conference
called by the United States or any
other country with a view to securing
by international agreement a fixity OF
relative value between gold and silver
as money by means Of a common ratio
between these metals, with free mint
age at such a ratio, be. and the same
are hereby, re-enacted and continued
in force"
This will necessarily prove a STUN
bling-Dlock for the Administration
forces, as it will again place the party
on record on the Silver question.
Even if the amendments are voted
down it will be sure to create further
discord among the conflicting factions
of the party. And further, as matters
are now shaping themselves, tits by no
means certain that Mckinley and bis
cohorts will be able to muster a sufi-
Gent number OF votes for the passage
of their pet measure as il is To- pre-
pared. Truly
