EDITOR SHELDON is laying
great stress upon the duty of the
people of this country to raise a
fund for famine stricken India.
While we give him due credit for
being earnest and sincere in his
intentions to aid suffering
humanity, we cannot help think
ing that more could be accom-
plished for the starving natives
of India by this ountry giving
England, the flabby, bloated
monarchy which has sucked the
life out of India, to understand
that we hold her accountable for
the heather in her charge, in
stead OF trying, as the present ad-
ministration is to copy England's
methods of colonization, of con-
traction of the currency of the
land, of mono-metallism and mil
litaryism. England is well able
to take care of her own charges.
Besides, Uncle Sam is having
thrust upon him serious troubles
of his own.

Governor of Kentucky.

Governor of Kentucky.
FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 30.-While
walking through the Capitol grounds
ON his way to the Capitol, at ITO
o'clock this morning, William Goebel,
the Democratic contestant for Govern
or of Kentucky, was shot down and
very dangerously wounded. Harland
Whitaker, a farmer from Butler
county, the home of Governor Taylor,
is now in Jail in Louisville charged
with the crime. There is no direct ev-
idence against Whitaker, and he was
placed under arrest more because he
was caught around the Capitol when
the shots were fired than for any 9TH
er apparent reason. He denied in the
most positive manner that he had any
connection with the shooting or knew
anything about it. He was running
toward the scene of the shooting and
not away from it when he was caught
and arrested.
| Senator Goebel was wounded by
rifle ball of small caliber, not over SO
which struck him in the right side JUS
below the armpit. The ball passed
through the back part of the RICH
ling, across the body on a diagona
line, passing out below the left shout

to 144, his temperature has risen to
1919 and his respiration to A. His
normal pulse is 70 and normal respira-

AS the shot was heard Goebel gave
quick, involuntary exclamation of
pain and made an effort to draw his
revolver. His strength was unequal to
the task, however, and he sank upon
the pavement. With great rapidity
several more shots were fired, the bull
lets all striking the brick sidewalk
close to where Goebel lay. None of
them touched him, however. Lillard
hastily turned around to aid Goebel,
