The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1900-02-06

William Goebel was born January
4, 1856, in Sullivan county, Pa, and
was the eldest OF four children, the
others being Justus, Minnie and Ar
thur. At the age of seven years he
came to Covington, KY; was edu-
Gated in the public schools there and
in Hollingsworth's Business College
He was apprenticed to a jeweler, but
in a short time began the study of
law; was always a close student and
determined to make one OF the best OF
lawyers, and he did. He studied law
with Ex-Governor Stevenson, took a
law course at Cincinnati law school,
where he graduated before he was 81
years old. He praoticed law in the
Office OF Mr.. Stevenson and soon alter
became law partner of Hon. John q.
Carlisle, and after few years. prac-
tice with Mr.. Carlisle he was sole
partner of Hon. John w. Stevenson
and remained with him until his
death, when ne became executor OF
his large estate without bond.
In 1887 he was elected State Sena-
tor from Kenton county, which place
he held continuously until his death.
With marked ability he served as a
member OF the Constitutional Con-
vention. He was then elected Cover.
nor of Kentucky. To accept the Of
fee OF Senator he sacrificed legal
business which paid $4,000 annually.
Governor Goebel was leader in
the Legislature, leader among STATE
Democrats, and indications were tDat
The National Democrats would have
placed him second on the ticket with
W.Jennings Bryan for the Presidency.
He was leader in the Legislature in
1896 aud 1897 for Blackburn for U. S.
Senator against Hunter and Deboe.
lie won the Democratic nomination
for Governor after a hard struggle of
eight days and seven nights, entered
the campaign with much of the press
against him. That campaign was
marvellous and resulted in his legal
election.
It has been given out that Mr.. Goe-
bel during his short life had made
from his practice near quarter of a
million dollars, but his younger broth
or in conversation led us to believe
his estate would not exceed one.fifth
of that amount.
Mr.. Goebel was true TO principle
and that alone led to his death. II
was shot from an assassin's gun,
Who he is and his whereabouts are
unknown, but the people of this Com
monwealth are determined to know
him and others connected with the
cowardlY deed, and the citizens o.
Montgomery county will do their part
It is not necessary to make house-to
house canvass, for all good people will
cheerfullY contribute to a fund fol-
this purpose. We therefore ask al
good citizens, regardless of politica
lines, to see either George w. Baird
Cashier of Traders Deposit Bank, Johr

Now that the man who murder
ed Gov. Goebel-that is the man
who aimed the gun and pulled the
trigger, which sent the ball
through his body, causing death,
has escaped from the State build
ing, w. s. Taylor, then acting
Governor will give $500 personal
ly for his capture and conviction.
A long time thinking about thi:
matter.

HIS DYING WORDS.
Tell my friends to rave
and fearless and remain loyal
to the great common people.
Gov. VIM. Goebel.

Those doubling Thomases who
said they believed Gov. Goebel
was not shot, only working an
other desperate" scheme to gain
public sympathy, we hope will
now hang their heads in shame at
the littleness of their own con-
sciences.

BE cooL-Do YOUR DUTY

This is not tune when men
should give expression to wrath.
A great leader has fallen. The
blow was from a murderer in am
bush. Notwithstanding we be-
lieve that the party then in power
could have averted this tragedy,
we would cvade bitterness oil
speech and ask that the law thus
trampled under foot be permitted
to ferret out the true state of affairs
and bring to justice the murderers
and the accessories thereto, should
there be any. We would rather
weep in sorrow for shame and dis
grace, Kentucky must wipe from
her skirts ignominy and shame by
suppressing lawlessness and blood
thirstiness if we would maintain
our former stand in the nation.
Every man should give aid in
bringing to light all offenders Of
the law.

Even if Mr.. Goebel were all the
bad things his slanderers say he is,
against theback ground furnished
by the official and lay towards at
and in the Executive building, his
figure stands out in a whiteness
as Of TRANSPORTATION. Louisville

shame.

SENTIMENT.

An evidence of the sentiment Of
the people is the refusal to recog-
nize the salutations of the soldier
boys to the passengers on the c.
& o., go unnoticed. Kentuck-
ians in bad company must share
the fate of old dog tray

WHY NOT7

If w. S. Taylor wanted to cap
ture the bastard who assassinated
Gov. Goebel, why did he not or
der the house from which the shot
was fired, surrounded, and search
made at once, or why was he so
tardy in offering that personal re-
ward?

NOT HURT.

w. S. Taylor, who has rooms
at the State Capitol, did walk out
a short distance from his room the
other day, and no one hurt the
dear fellow. Naught is never in
danger.

A DAY TOO LATE

Friends, in this world of hurry
And work and sudden end,
If thought comes quick of doing
A kindness to a friend,
Do it that very minute. Don't put it off

you do it day too late9

Some ofthe Republican State
Officials and other prominent Re
publicans are, no doubt, free from
guilt in the assassination of Gov.
Goebel. Do you think that all
are innocent? Read the facts that
have transpired in the Executive
building and draw your conclusion.

Since the assassination of Gov.
Goebel, the disgracefui spectacle
has been presented Of a would-be
Governor. w. 6. Taylor, secreted
in his office, surrounded by a heav-
lily armed body guard Of lawless

NOT CERTAIN.

The act Of w. S. Taylor, former
Governor proktem., in refusing a
certificate of election to Senator
elect J. c. S. Blackburn for the
reason that the validity of the
November, 1900, election is ques-
toned, is conclusive evidence that
he is not certain that he is legally
Kentucky's Governor.
On the question: Of validity,
were he conscientious and con-
sistent he would not have issued
orders to bring the military to
Frankfort or to declare the Legis-
lature adjourned and appoints an
other place Of meeting. 1t will
be seen by these orders Taylor
crosses himself that he is not con-
scientious. Give him more rope

NEW YORK. Sept 24.-while today's
stock market continued exceedingly ir-
regular and was occasionally quite IN e.
tied, it nevertheless showed some evil
dences that liquidation of the m,rs u

completed At all events, recoveries in
prices were fairly common with the
course Of the business session. although
apparently, there was little demand for
stocks except that arising from the COW
ering of short contracts.
The market, on the other hard. sh wei
occasionally fresh and aggressive Hing,
apparently fer the short account, ard, in
fact, its general tone throughout the day
was an exceedingly confused and uncer-
tain one On the whole. however, the
course of prices probably upset the balk

portance in the several features CT the
outside situation which cngro s5td atten-

As noted, outside conditions showed
little change over Sunday At the same

regarded with more hope, and the shares
directly concerned were among the steady
features of the days market All of the
so-called steel industrials were natural

larry sharp recovery showing in American
Tobacco. The general railway list also
including the granger and Pacific stocks,
Atchison and New York Central, was firm
on active dealings.
Conspicuous features of today's market
were Peoples Gas, Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit and Tennessee Coal and Iron. The fluc-
tuations in the last named stock were
particularly vide, rejecting the unoer-
tainty on the part of persons Interested
as TO whether or not they were dealing
in 4 dividend-paying stock. 20 action
was taken upon the dividend ct Ioday's

items in Peoples Gas and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit were also wide and erratic, and
those stocks did not show the tendency
toward recovery that was apparent in the
market at large.

shade higher on the rains in the North

Yesterdays market was in some ways
a better one than had been looked for.
The bears did not find people nearly so
anxious to sell stocks as they expected.
The opening was at about the same level
as the close on Saturday. and from this
there was coed raiIy, nearly every
where, until after noon. Prices advanced
an average of point or more in a num-
Der Of the active issues The Gaming
OF this was apparently that not finding
the public wild to sell out the bears he
gan to cover. In the afternoon there was
another decline, but il was peculiar in
the fact that one or two volatile securi-
ties were singled out by the bears for at
tack. The selling was not OF an i'm
PoFisnt nature and looked as IT, having
covered. the shorts were trying to en-
