They Are Accused Of Being Accessory

FRANKFORT, KY, March s.-War-
rants charging the crime Of being &C.

murder OF William 0oebel, were sworn
out late this afternoon against Caleb

Square.
In q few days other warrants viii be
sworn out, and they win be against
weIl-known Republicans. The web of
evidence Is being woven tightly around
some Of the men who were accessories
to the murder of Governor Goebel,
and when the full story, a. 1t has al

to contemplate the shocking details Of
q deliberate plot which is being un-
folded BY the evidence accumulated

made will be far more sensational than
those that followed the issuance Of the
i've warrants to-day. For good and

murder plot are being withheld from

A kAFFIR SMOKER.
The Native Women Are Enthusiastic
Devotees of the Weed.

The Native Women Are Enthusiastic
Devotees of the Weed.
In South Africa the native women
smoke necessarily. Your native serv-
ant smokes as she cooks and as she
washes. The tobacco she likes Is rank.
The dainty cigarette an English or
Russian lady Of fashion enjoys, smoked
through a quill so that no nicotine can
stain either teeth or fingers, would be
sneered at by a Kaffir. Give me a
pipe and something in it can taste, "
Is In effect what she says.
The men Kaffirs are beyond tobacco.
They smoke something SO vehement
that it makes them cough and splutter,
lose their breath, choke and sneeze to
an alarming degree. They like snuff,
too, and are fond of offering and taking
pinches of it ('schniff'' they call IT.
when they meet and visit one another.
Regarding tobacco as too mild for
their taste, the Kaffirs take another
weed and smoke that. They proceed
to arrange a smoking party by squat
ting on the ground and getting ready
their "pipe," a cow horn with thin
tube in it inserted half way down at
right angles to the horn. The end OF
the tube is in basin, and it is from 1t
that the smoker sucks the strong stuff
that makes him incapable Of anything
but series of coughs and chokes for
some time after he has had his turn at
the pipe, which is passed round from
man to man until perfect chorus OF
coughs rends the air.
The tobacco the Beers smoke looks
like poor tea and is peculiar in flavor,
yet Englishmen who have become used
to it acquire such taste for it that
they never ask for any other kind

tween Religion and Politics.
A well known western representa-

ment, left a small group of takers in
an up town hotel lobby, and an elderly
man, whom he had introduced to the
party, made bold to tell story about
the departed.
81 have known him." he said, lever
since he was boy. and when he came
out of college he was undecided wheth.
er to become a lawyer and politician OF
go to theological seminary and be
come a clergyman. He was fond OF
politics and thought that with little
law and more religion on the side he
might become great moral reformer
You know that's the way most all very
young men feel when they undertake
politics for the first time.
However, before he had had time tc
determine finally what he would do
his friends came after him to run fol
the legislature, as he had the availa-
bility and pretty fair amount of cash
This brought him face to face with
the question he had been much dis
turbed over, and he went to Judge
Blank, a veteran In politics and man
of the highest character, for assistance
in solving the problem. He stated his
case In full to the Judge, and the grand
old man put his hand on the young
mans shoulder.
my boy he said, as only he could
say it, 1T can't be politics and religion
1t must be one or the other. You cant

no use trying. That is all l can say,
and you will have to make your OWL

SOLDIERS IN BATTLE.

The Peculiar Way Some Men Act
When They Are Wounded.
If you take a dozen soldiers as like
each other as peas SO far as height,
weight, strength, age, courage and
general appearance go and wound them
all in precisely the same way, you will
find that scarcely any two of them are
affected alike.
One man on receiving bullet In his
leg will go on fighting as If nothing
had happened. He does not know, In
fact, that he now contains bullet.
But perhaps in two or three minutes
he will grow faint and fall
Another man, without feeling the
slightest pain, will tremble all over,
totter and fall at once, even though
the wound is really very slight.
A third will cry out in way to
frighten his comrades and will forget
everything in his agony. A fourth will
grow stupid and look like an idiot.
Some soldiers wounded In the slight
est manner will have to be carried off
the field. Others, although perhaps
fatally injured, can easily walk to the
ambulance. Many die quickly from
the shock to the nervous system.
A very curious case is recorded in
the surgical history of the American
civil war, in which three officers were
hit Just at the same time. One had
his leg from the knee down carried
away, but he rode ten miles to the
hospital. Another lost his little finger,
and he became raving maniac, while
a. third was shot through the body
and, though he did not shed drop of
blood externally, he dropped dead from
the shock.-New York Telegram.
