ginning of the last week of the campaign
party leaders in the Eighteenth Congress
sional District Of Illinois predict that the
district will return a Democratic Repre-
sentative TO ConrresS by a majority OF 2.00l.
The assumption IS based upon reports from
each of the six counties composing the dis
trct. and which have been carefully veri-
fled. The contest is between the present
incumbent. Thomas VI. Jett Of H.llsboro,
and State Senator John j. Brenholt of AL
ton. who was nominated by the Republi-
cans.
The Eighteenth District of Illinois has
been an important factor In State politics

house, formed the district as a Democratic
distric, and it proved a surprise by going
lowing. Frederick Reaman of Nandalia

Vile. was named his successor at a special
election. carrying the district by S.ess plu-

at this election cut the usual Republican
majority of Madison County from over 700
down To 80

one in the district. The Republicans in

would roll up a large enough total of votes

the counties AZ the other end of the shoe
string district. Mr.. Jett has made 4
thorough campaign for his part. and while
making no rash assertions, believes that

tees that he will be returned by an In
creased ma joriiy are founded on fact He
spoke at Upper Alton Friday night and at
the conclusion of the. meeting addressed n
gathering in the college chapel upon special

HIS BODY LAID 10 REST.
Funeral of william Goebsl at Frankfort
Was Largely Attended-FIoraI Offer-
ings Were Wonderful.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 9.-Thousands
of people from city and country
viewed the remains of William E. Goe-
bel as they lay in state in the Capt.
tai hotel last night and this morning.
At 1880 o'clock simple funeral serv-
ices were conducted in the parlor OF
the hotel, consisting merely of short
Scripture reading by Mr.. Taliaferro,
of the Methodist church, a solo by
Mrs. Jesse D. Caldwell, of Covington,
and a prayer by DR.. Schmitt. These
have been for the friends and inn
mediate relatives of the family.
The ceremonies in the cemetery
proper were on much larger scale
than at the hotel. The people were there
in great numbers and when Elder VIII
liam Stanley arose to make the first
prayer he faced not less than 1000
people, A solo by Mrs. Jessie D. Cald-
well was followed by addresses re-
hgious in character by DR.. T. N.
Arnold, Rev. L. G. B. Mann, DR..
Schmitt and Elder William Stanley.
Then came America sung by quar-
tette, and then the grafton of the day,
delivered by Senator Blackburn.
Speeches were also made by Gov.
Beckham, ex-Gov- McCreary. Congress
man Wheeler, Judge Pryor and others.
Senator Blackburn over Goebel's grave
vehemently denounced the dead mans
PRODUCERS and said: 1.-THE shot that
struck Goebe1 down sounded the
deathknell of the political organiza-
ton of his opponents for all time in
Kentucky"
The total number of floral pieces
and their elaborate nature was wOn-
derfuI. 1t is doubtful if at any sim
liar occasion in this country they have
ever been surpassed. Their value
must have been many thousands of
dollars All saloons were compelled
to close to avoid possible disorder.

OTIS COMING HOME SOON.
He VIII Be Relieved of Duty as Soon as
the New Philippine Commission
Reaches Manila.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Maj. Gen. Ell
well S. Otis will be detached from
duty as g&ernor general of the Phil
ippines and commander of the de-
partment of the Pacific Immediately
after the arrival of the new Philip
pine commission and will be ordered
to return to the United States. This
action will be in compliance with the
wishes of Gen. Otis, who has informed
the war department that he is in need
of rest. The president believes Gen.
Otis can be relieved after the arrival
of the commission at Manila-which
will occur late in April or early in
May-without detriment to the in
terests of the government. He will
be succeeded by the senior officer in
the islands, probably Gen Macarthur,
who will be subordinate to the new
commission, which will possess
plenary powers and will be response
bic to the war department.

Away With.

Dexter, Mo-, Feb. 9.-The bank at
Maiden, a few miles south of here, was
Wednesday night entered by masked
men, who by the use of drills and dy-
Mantle, succeeded in opening the safe
and getting away with large amount
of money. City Marshal Davis opened
fire upon the burglars and it is sup
posed that one of them was wounded,
though all three escaped in the dark
ness. The loss in actual money is
placed at $1,000 by the bank officials.
Bloodhounds are being used to trace
the robbers, but owing to the heavy
rain no trail can be found.
