G0EBEL is DEAD.
Made a Heroic Fight, But Death
Claimed Elm Sunday.
Mr.. BECKHAa WAS SWORN IN
spOrtly After the Death Of the Demo
cratic Leader-Now shOrn Of the
Leading Hand of dOebel, Democrats
are at sea-what Results May
Follow None Can Tell.

FRANKFORT, KY. Feb. 4.--Wllllam
GOebel is dead. After a battle for ire
IN which even his bltterest enemies
were forced 10 acknowledge his courage
and determination, the Democratic
leader and politician succumbed to MS
wound Mt $40 o'clock last evening
lie had been sinking gradually al
afternoon, with an occasional slight
raIly but SO surely marked for death
that his physicians thrice predicted
before sunset that he could not live I'VE
minutes longer Yet he did, fighting up
10 the very last minute for existence
and with his last words a reinsurance
to the attendants who had warned him
SO many times that his hours were few.
The end came very peacefully and
quietly. He breathed his last .nt $40.
HIS brother Arthur and his sister Mrs,
Braunacker, of Hartwell o., were In
the room at the time.
Beckham Soon Sworn In.
The news of Mr.. Goebel's death was
not made public until 7;43 p. N. IN
the meanwhile 0. c. w. Beckham, who
Is lieutenant governor Of the Demo-
cratic administration, was sworn in as
governor by Judge THOMAS Painter, OF
the court of appeals. The .Goebelttes
did not want to let their chiefs death
become known until his place had been
filled.
There is much speculation as to What
eject Mr.. Goebers death will have on
the situation. He was man of strong
personality and by nature leader.
Without his influence, the contestants
against Taylors regime will be shorn of
much power, according to one view Of
the situation. Goebels directing hand
has been keenly missed even during
these four days of illness. There have
been other leadefs in the field. men
who are aggressive, acute and thor
oughly expert IN the intricate game OF
Kentuclsy politics. These men have
worked night and day since Goebel
was shot. planning and executing ma
noeuvers against the enemy.
Lack of the Leader Felt.
Goebe1's personality was not there.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
principals was held in the once Of the
city superintendent and quite number
Of subjects were discussed. All the
principals were present and the Discus
slons at times were quite interesting.
The superintendent asked the princi-
pals to discourage the habit Of asking
the commissioners to allow the dismiss
ing Of any school before the regular
time for dismissal. This has been done
in several instances in the past, and the
superintendent has been blamed when
he had nothing to do with It. The
matter Of having the larger boys to
take part in the Dewey Day" parade
was talked over and there seemed to be
a disposition on the part of the princi-
pals to oppose 1t. but as the request had
been made, It was agreed to leave 1t to
the boys Themselves and e they are
anxious to do so, everything possible
will be done to make a credltable show
ing. Principal Work, OF the high school,
referred to the matter Of teaching de-
tinitions, saying that the pupils coming
from the ward schools to the high
school were deficient in the matter OF
giving proper definitions. especially in
arithmetic. The matter was discussed
somewhat at length and various rea-
sons were given as to why this might
be the case, some Of the principals con-
tended that our pupils are required to
do too much in arithmetic, The pupils
at fourteen years of age are not able to
solve the problems they are required to
solve before they enter the high school.
Others thought differently. Our pupils
are not required 10 depend upon them
selves; the teachers do too much for
them. All OF which goes to show that
the children of the Wheeling public
schools will not kill themselves study
ing, as long as the teacher does the
most for them. The meeting adjourned
to meet again on February Is, at $3.50
o'clock.

Town Fiscal Affairs.

The town reports for the last fiscal
year of the town of Morristown we're
delivered from the printer last Satur-
day, and ere this number of the News
AND CITIZEN is in the homes of it's sub
scribers, should have been read by
most of the voters of Morristown.
Without being vainglorious it can be
said that it is the best report, both
geographically and in details that
has ever been issued by the auditors.
So plain is it that we desire to call IT.
tention to but few facts to note
that there has been an endeavor TO
reach forward to better results.
First on the list is the renovation
Of Town Hall. For years it had been
talked of, but nothing done. At a
special Town meeting held Sept. %,
1899, it was again voted to proceed
and the matter placed in the hands
OF G. W. Doty. A. r Campbell and
A. l.. Cheney, and they went ahead
with such alacrity that most Of tho
work was done by the 10Th of Octo-
Der. This was gratuitous service,
we'll executed. and it is no more than
fair that the closing part of the re-
ports should be reproduced and is as
follows: "Yourcommittee have work
ed faithfully to complete the repairs
and take care of it as a hall should be,
aud present you the eresult of their la
bors, for which they have charged
nothing for themselves, hut indulge
the hope that the Town Fathers will
enjoy clean, warm ball to do bust
ness in, and will try and keep it so. "
The cost of this improvement was
Sl222.06, and since it was inaugu
rated the town has borne an expense
tor maintenance of $60.39, and re-
celved revenue of $15S so, and the
Town Treasurer has to account for
sos IL on the rightsids OF the ledger.
Another change to the new order ia
the primary school building, voted
for in special Town meeting early in
the fall. The work is not completed
vet, but near enough to see that the
appropriation will be exceeded by
about 5000.

Sudden Death.

: Last evening at about twenty min
ites past six, Fred Brown, aged 20
years, entered Dwinell's Pharmacy,
and had proceeded about half way
across the front part of the store,
when he exclaimed, "Give me some
thing quick, l am going to have a
fit." Before Mr.. Dwinell or his clerk,
Don Sanders, could respond, he feel
to the floor and within twenty min
utes was dead. DR.. Rublee, the fami-
ly physician, quickly responded to a
call, but the young man was beyond
all help. From DR.. Rublee it was
learned that the deceased had been
subject to heart trouble for years.
David Brown, the father OF the de-
ceased, was in town and made ar
rangements with undertaken Doty to

er, the loss of their son. Until she is
heard from no arrangements for the

extent. The gorge affects the escape

enough to resist dynamite, which has
been largely employed to dislodge
the icy barrier.

to the ladies their plans for entertain

greatly reduce the work, as each one
can learn what is isexpected of her, and
thus obviate the need of a personal
canvass. 1t has also been suggested
that a discussion of "what shall we
do next year" be held at that time,
and it is hoped to hear a generous
expression of individual opinions.

The sacred concert given in st.
Paurs NJ. f. Church South on Thurs
day evening was one of the grandest
musical treats of the season in this city.
Z he cosy edifice was crowded with per-
sons, which fully demonstrated that
good music and good voices are appre-
ciated in Butte. Forty persons sang the
'Cantata Daniel and did it to degree
of perfection seldom, if ever, equalled
by chorus selected in one city or town.
The individual singing was liquid melody
III itself and showed careful training of
the voices. One of the features of the
entertainment was the singing by Miss
Marie l.. Voltz, and another the violin
cello selections rendered by Will Bal
lard, young musician of more than Or
binary ability. Mrs. Eda Nj. Hill ac-
