The state papers nave had considerable
to say recently relative to the possible
appointment by Gov Lounsbury of Ar
thur t. Net,leton, treasurer Of the New
town Savings bank, as bank commission
or to succeed Hon Sidney W. Crofut, re-
signed. The BEE is quick to recognize
the fitness OF Citizen Nettleton for this
position. He would fill it with ability
and credit to himself ard the state. But
we should regard it as great loss to the
town and the institution he represents to
have him accept the position, even
should the governor tender it. The editor
of The BEE is in position to know that
Mr. Nettleton has abso lutely made no ad-
vsnces for the place. The Newtown
Savings Bank was meyer in better con-
dition than it is to-day and Treasurer
Nettleton has the hearty confidence OF
the board of directors and of the solid,
saving people of the town. With such
able management the bank has even still
q better future before it. AS has been
already stated, Mr. Nettleton has no in
of the governors Intentions and
while approaching the various kind
nesses of various friends throughout the
state ard the cordially with which the
of his name for this high
honor has been received, is not agitating
the matter, but is hard at work with the
intention of making the Newtown Say
ings bank one of the best institutions of
Its class found in any rural town in the
Nutmeg state.

WARM TIMES IN KENTUCKY.
Goebel Shot by an Assassin Great
Excitement in Frankfort.


The political passions of
the troubled State of Kentucky
reached a climax on Tuesday,
when State Senator Goebel,
the Democratic aspirant for
the governorship, was shot
down in the State house
grounds at Frankfort while
on his way to the Senate
chamber. Two shots were
fired at him from a window of
the State house. Only one
took effect. The ball entered
the right side and passed
entirely through the body.
Goebel's life has since been
hanging on a thread. His
physicians say he cannot live.
In fact, there was a report
from Frankfort at one o'clock
this morning that he could not
live through the night.
It is not vet known who
fired the fatal shot, although
several arrests have been
made on suspicion.
The greatest excitement
has prevailed in Frankfort
and all over Kentucky since
the shooting of Goebel and
the city of Frankfort has been
under martial law.
Goebel was nominated for
governor in June, 1899. A
convention was called by pro
testing Democrats to make ar
independent nomination, and
Ex-Governor Brown was
chosen. Attorney Genera
Taylor had been nominated
by the Republicans.
The most passionate anC
ACRIMONIOUS campaign IN the
history of Kentucky followed
Prominent Democrats all over
the State came out agains'

of contumely Goebel's 5 life was
often threatened. It had beer

The Age of Birds.

Mr.. ]. H. Quincy, in an article in
the Ibis, discusses a number of facts,
collected from various books and pa
pers, regarding the age TO which birds
live. Mr.. Dresser, In his birds of
Europe" gives an instance of raven
having lived siNty-nine years. Mr..
Meade Waldo has in captivity pair OF
eagle owls, one of which is sixty-eight
and the other flfty-three years old.
Since 1864 these birds have bred regu-
larly, and have now reared ninety
three young ones. A Batelur eagle and
a condor in the Geological gardens at
Amsterdam are still alive at the re-
spective ages of fifty-five and fifty-two.
An imperial eagle of the age of fifty
six, golden eagle of forty-six and a
sea eagle of forty-two, and many other
birds of the age of forty downward
are also recorded.
