First Evidence Taken I'm the First
of the Gocbel Murder Cases.
Georgetown, KY, July 15.-The jury
was completed yesterday morning In
the case of Caleb Powers, former sec
rotary of state, charged with compile
ity in the Goebel shooting. The first
evidence was heard in the afternoon.
Col Campbell, in stating the case for
the prosecution, reviewed the political
events of last fall, especially the events
following the election and the institute
ing of contests by the Democratic cam
didates for safe offices. Caleb Powers,
he declared, was the most aggressive
among those who sought to settle the
contest by violence, and that to him
largely was due the importation or
mountain "feudists" to Frankfort, or
the band Of mountain men, IT'S OF
when were retained in Frankfort reg.
ularly. He charged that a majority or
them had killed from one to seven men
each. He declared that evidence
would be produced that on Jan. 2S
Powers said that "Goebel has not as
many days to live as have fingers on
my hands" ID. Mead Woodson, ex-
city engineer of Frankfort, who made
the measurements by which the prose-
cution will attempt to prove that the
shot was fired from Powers office, was
the first witness placed on the stand.

Due to the Encouraging Features of
the Western Crop Situation.
New York, July Is. - Bradstreetsl
saws: While trade Is still of only midi
summer volume the beginnings Of im-I
provement in demand are apparently
becoming visible. The Improvement IS
still one of tone rather than OF actual
demand, but with, as seems probable,
a Weld of 100000 bushels of wheat,
a next to ecord-breaking yield of corn,
and a very large production Of oats,
the Western crop situation contains
many encouraging features. The
Southern cotton crop has undoubtedly
suffered and its condition Is unprece-
dentedly low for this season of the
year. but the acreage planted is a large
one and prices are so much higher that
a satisfactory financial return Is conf
IDENTITY locked for. In addition railroad
earrings point to maintenance Of the
business of the country at a volume in
excess of last year.

San Francisco, July 15.-The Chinese
residents Of the recently quarantined
district of this city are preparing to
demand compensa ton for losses alleged
to have been sustained owing to the
action Of the health officials. Detailed
lists of losses are being prepared which
are expected to form the basis Of a
suit for damages estimated by the at
torneys at about $2,0O0,000 against the
city of San Francisco, or a claim OF
about that much against the federal
government. Consul General Ho Vow
says it has not been yet determined
which course to pursue. The attorneys
will claim that the bubonie plague
never existed in Chinatown. and that
there was no justification for the ac-
ton of the national ard municipal au-
thOritieS.

Philadelphia, July IA. - The bark
Calcium, Capt. Smith, from lvigtu,
Greenland. arrived here yesterday with
a cargo of corolite. The bark was ex-
pected TO bring tidings from Lieut..
Peary, who is in the Arctic regions in
quest of the North Pole, but there was
much disappointment felt by the crowdl
which was waiting for the bark at the
wharf when Capt. Smith announced
that he had no news from the explorer.
Capt. Smith said the past winter In
Greenland was one Of the worst In
years, and it was his belief that Lieut.:
Peary and his party must have suffered
considerable hardships from the severe
weather. The natives In that locality,
Capt. Smith said, suffered severely.
and were generally In poor condition.
The bark was ice-bound for over al
month off Greenland, and the ice peak
reached from 100 to $50 miles of the
shore.

L. b. Dunton, of Riceville, is one
OF its merchants from before the war
OF lS6l-5. In his store may be seen
the same identical palm leaf hats that
were there then, also the same bottles
OF patent medicines. The internal
revenue law then passed required him
to place revenue stamps upon each
bottle which he did. The revenue law
passed at the commencement of the
Spanish-American War required
stamps to be placed upon all patent
medicines in the hands of dealers, by
the dealer. Does that law apply to
these antiquated medicines, or are
they exempt on the ground that Mr..
Dunton is not a dealer in them?
