Dr.. Mccormack cnieavored 10 cheer
the fast sinking man. but the latter
soon relapsed into a condition o. seIll-
consciousness. About Cne o'clock he
aroused himself again. and calling DR..
Mccormack to his bedside: Doctor.

the truth. for l have several things TO
attend to-
Mr.. Goebel. you have only few
hours to live" replied Dr.. Mccormack.
Mr.. Goe5el was silent for momen;,
then calling his brother Arthur Goebel,
ts his bedside. he asked that the physi-
clans and nurses retire. Then for 20
minutes the dying man was left with
his brother and sister, Mrs. Braunacker
Late in the afternoon to the weary
watchers at the bedside it was appar-
ent that the end was not far OFF, and
Rev. Or. Taliaferro crossed over to
where Mr.. Goe5el lay gasn!ng for
breath. and kreeling at the side OF the
bed, prayed earnestly. With tears
streaming down their faces, Mrs Brau-
nacker and Arthur Goebel knelt at the
bedside also. Then DR.. Talliaferro
arose and opening the Bible read few
selected verses from the Epistle OF -.
James.
A few minutes later Mr. Goebefs
brother announud to the anXiuos
watchers about the hotel corridors that
William Goebel was dead.
There was no excitement in the cor
ridor. Those who heard the words o.
Arthur Goebel were reverently slleiI
and did not disseminate the intelli-
gence. Within few minutes he TO-
lowing announcement had been pre-
pared and silently handed about the
hotel and in the streets.
ITO the people of Kentucky:
ut is with the most profound sorrow
that we announce the death Of Co.
ernor William Goebel. In his last mo-
ments he counseled his friends to keep
cool and bow to the law in all things.
We. his friends. beg of the people OF
Kentucky in this hour Of aftiiction to
carefully abstain from any acts Of vi
olence or any resort to mob law. 1t
would be his wish if he were alive that
there should be absolutely no stain on
his memory by any imprudent act OF
any who were his friends. The law IS
supreme and must in time be re-estab-
lished and all tie wrongs he and his
party have suffered will find their pro-
per redress.

Clash Of Authority.

Frankfort. KY, Special.-Civil and
military authority in Kentucky have
come face to face at last and unless
one or the other recedes from the posi-
tions occupied there can be but one
outcome and that is civil war.
Governor Taylor must within As
hours surrender to the circuit court ot
Franklin county the person OF Alonzo
Walker, now held in custody by him in
the State executive building, or Sheriff
Suter, of Franklin county, with pow
erful posse at his back, will attempt
his release by force, and it is hardly
within the range Of possibility that the
attempt can be made without blood
shed or loss OF life. II once blood Is
shed an armed conflict in the streets
of Frankfort it is beyond the wisdom
of any man to tell how far the flames
Of strife may spread.

The News in Washington.

Washington, D. c., Special.-With-
out regard to party the death OF Will
liam Goabel is universally deplored
here. His game struggle for life after
the assassm's bullet laid him low has
been watched with admiration and
when the bulletins were posted an
nolncing his death political friends
and foes united in expressions OF re-
gret.
President Mckinley was informed
of the death OF Mr.. Goebel at the din
ner given in honor Of himself and the
members of his cabinet by Postmaster
General Chas. Emery Smith. The
news was conveyed TO him after guests
had risen from the table and retired
to the smoking room. Shortly after
ward the President returned to the
White House.
Late at night member OF the cabi-
net said to a representative OF the as
sociated press:
When the news Of Mr.. Goebel S
death was announced to the President
and 10 those of us who were present,
no surprise was expressed, as 1t had
been expected. The Kentucky sftua-
ton was not discussed but you may
say that the President and members OF
the cabinet believe that the death OF
Mr.. Gcebel will not have the effect Oh
altering the situation in the least as
far as its legal aspect is concerned.

Fail To Capture Wepener.
Fail to Catch the Beers
In a Trap.
THE MOVEMENT OF FORCES
IS NOW
On To The TranSvaal!

For some two weeks a force of 1000
to 5000 Beers have been besieging a
force of 800 British Colonial troops at
Wepener, sixty miles southeast of
Bloemfontein. The "Colonials'' held
out against them with great gallantry.
If Phil Sheridan had been at BlOem-
fontein with one fourth of the force that
Gen. Roberts has, he would have cap
tured the whole pack of Beers a week
ago, and the sea breezes would now be
playing through their whiskers at
Cape Colony. But Roberts moved
heavy columns to the relief of Wepen-
er, from all directions except the one
on which the Beers would escape, and
Wednesday he found that the Beers
had all trekked to the North, playing
tsnipe hunting" on him, and leaving
him to hold the bag.
The Beers failed in their attack on
Wepener; as they failed in their sieges
of Mafeking, Kimberley and Lady
smith, and have shown their utter in
ability to take advantage of their op-
portunities, and in this respect have
onlo been excelled by the British-Rob-
erts' capture of Cronje excepted.
The movement of Roberts army will
now be north towards Pretoria, and the
first fighting will probably be at the
Vet and Vaal rivers.
