ASSASSINATION
Plays a Part in the Kentucky
Troubles.
Senator GoebeI Shot Down at the
Capital.

Tuesday, as Senator Goebel, the late
Democratic candidate for Governor,
of Kentucky, was crossing the capitol
grounds at Frankfort, to reach the
State Capital with two friends, he was
SHOT with a rife by some one who was
in the third story of the Executive
Building adjoining, and he is not ex-
pected to recover. No one saw the
man who fired, but it is supposed he
fired from the third story, Executive
building, because window was raised
a few inches in that story. No one was
seen, no smoke was seen, and no one
knows who was the assassin.
Goebel was bold, bad, unscrupulous
leader, who framed an election law to
help him steal the State of Kentucky
from the Republicans; he was mur,
derer and desperate man. He was
pushing on conspiracy that would
soon bring the State into condition ol
civil war. But all this was no excuse
for assassination. 1t is never excusable
much less justifable. Goebel's assass
in was not only murderer but cow
ard. He secreted himself from arrest
and gave Goebel no chance for his life
Such man should meet the swiftest
surest punishment. He is an enemy t.
liberty, to civil government, and t.
civilization. 1t is to be hoped that ht
may be discovered.

REVIVAL MEETiNGS
A Great Success at the New Salem
church.

The greatest revival meetings ever
held at New Salem, in the eastern part
OF the county. Yes, victory crowned
the labors of Rev. a. J. Houk, the pas
tor. For about three weeks the meet
ings have been in progress, the pastor
preaching almost every evening, and
laboring among the people throughout
the day, earnestly entreating them to
come and be saved. They came in
from North, South, East and West,
| earnestly seeking, from the gray haired
of 10 down to the child of nine years;
fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters.
! Thirty were received into full member
ship last Sabbath morning-some by
baptism, some by confirmation, and
some by renewal and letter. One lit.
tie child, whose parents thought him
too young to unite with the church, said
why, he loved Jesus. Another wa:
asked why she wanted to unite with
the church said, she loved Jesus an6
wanted to work for him. Rev. Houl
preached the plain truths of the Cos
pei, that even the little ones under
stood.
| Where many homes were darkened
now they are dark and shining.

could train five thousand and graduate
five hundred teachers annually. Who
can estimate the educational and eco
nomic value of such an army of train
ed teachers to the people and to the
state?
Ninety-five per cent. of the youth of
| the State receive all their education
and training for the life and citizenship
in the public schools, and the majority
of these never complete the common
school course.
In view of the short period of time so
many children are in school, is it not of
the utmost Importance that the COM
mon school teachers should receive
special training to fit them to do the
most possible for the future citizens OF
the State? If there is any virtue in a
trained soldier, in trained lawyers, in
trained surgeons, in trained mechanics
in trained engineers, why not have
trained teachers?
One who has taught in the rura
schools of OHIO.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The sewerage commission heretofore ap-
pointed by the City Council, deem it eXpedi-
ent to make the following statement rega rd-
ing the proposition to bond the city for $780,
600 for sewerage purposes. The proposition
and con ntemplated improvement are governed
by the provisions of subdivision Chapter J
of the Revised Statutes of the State of Ohio
BY direction of the sewerage commission.
the City Engineer has made his estimate of
the cost and expense of furnishing a COM
plete system of sewerage to the city of Belle
fOntaine.
This estimate includes the entire cost of
construction, and not only sewers the prin-
cipal streets and avenues of the city, but also
every street where water mains are now laid.
or may be laid in the near future as the es-
innate provides for several miles more sewer
age than is now laid of water mains.
When smaller amounts were asked for by
the commission, the intention was to put ii,
main trunk lines. and furnish a disposal field
after which the city was to be divided into
districts, each district to be taxed for it's own
laterals and connections. But at the request
of many citizens, we have decided to ask for
amount named above. sum sufficient tC
give our entire city complete system of sew
erage. ROBERT LAMB, Pres

London, Feb. 1-(4:30 p. m.)-The
St. James Gazette, says it is reported
on good authority that General Butler
has again crossed the Tugela River at
three places, and thatfghting has been
proceeding all day. The War office has
no news OF General Buffers alleged
movements as reported by the st.
James Gazette, but the paper says it
has no reason to doubt the correctness
of it's information, although it has not
vet learned the exact positions General
Butler seized.
The natives report that the Boer
general, Joubert has been killed by a

he has been killed.

PERMANENT ROADS.
They should lie introduced Wherever
big sums Are Now spent for Tenn
pOrnry improvements.

Report Is current that more than $780,
000,0 900 are spent annually in this coun-
try for the temporary improvement of
the public highways. A significant
sum, when it is considered that its ex-
penditure leaves the country in no bet
ter condition than before its use. The
money spent in repairing the roads is
practically waste, for it gives no per-
manency to the improvement. A bridge
may be put in tomorrow, and next
week 1t washes out; manhole may be
filled this week and next week a rain
transforms it into the same old mud
hole. A rut may be corrected, and in
less than "a hours the work is made void
and hence has to be repeated.
There is need for improvement and
repairs which shall be permanent and
substuntial-uot only Of value to-mor-
row, but for all time to come. 1t were
better and more economical thorough
ly to improve one mile of road than to
throw up a dump in the middle of 20
miles Of road and call 1t improved. The
lack Of permancncy in the betterment
of our thoroughrares is the feature of
=
importance should and does attach.
We have no definite plan for the i'm
proyement Of the roads, that at this
time would he universally adopted
with good results, but In the absence
of plan we are in the midst of so many
bad roads as to compel the recognition
Of vast need of a feasible and pruc-
ticable method. We all know the pres
ent system Is a failure, a costly bluuder
and unsatisfactory everywhere, and be-
lieve that a new system is bound TO be
ushered in at an early day. In sec
tons of Indiana and some other states
macadam roads have been constructed,
and the service is perfect. Where the
materials for macadamizing are at
hand, there is no better way of perma-
nently improving the highways. 1t is
not necessary to argue the value Of inn
proved roads to farmers, how they
would enhance the value of land, inn
prove the social conditions In the coun-
try, and enable farmers to get better
prices for their products in that they
could get them TO market when prices
were high Everybody believes we
should have good roads, but the people
are not active enough in their demands,
and not agreed as to methods which
will insure effective action. There
needs to be concentration of effort, es-
pecially among the farmers, and agita-
tion and thought should be constant,
since both precede action. What prop
erly may be called good road is one on
which the farmer can haul heavy loads
during rainy weather; one in which
there are no ruts, washouts and bumps;
one that is good when the weather is
bad, and over which team may pull
an empty wagon without experiencing
| that fatigue so common on the rough,
rutty, ragged roads which annually are
worked at large aggregate expense and
improved in general unevenness,-
