FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. B.
The bullet fired by an unknown
assassin last Tuesday morning
ended the life of Mr.. Goebel at
Gas o'clock this evening. The
only persons present at the death
bed were Mr.. Goebel's sister, Mrs.
Braunacker and his brother,
Arthur Goebel, of Cincinnati, who
have been In constant attendance
at Mr.. Goebel's bedside, and Doctor
Mccormack. Justus Goebel, an
other brother, who has been hurry
ing from Arizona as fast as steam
would carry him, in a vain hope
of reaching his dying brother in
time for some token of recognition,
arrived forty minutes too late.
Oxygen was frequently admins
tered to the dying man during the
afternoon IN an effort to keep him
alive, at least until his brothers.
arrival, but in vain. For, by the
cruel irony of fate, the train on
which Justus Goebel was travelling
to Frankfort was delayed several
hours from various causes and
when Mr.. Goebel finally reached
here, it was only to learn that
his brother was dead. Among
bitter partisans of both parties
deep grief is manifested and al
ready a movement has been start
ed to erect fitting monument for
Mr.. Goebel's memory on the spot
in the Statehouse grounds where
he was shot.
No arrangements have as yet
been made for the funeral.
Plunged in grief and locked in the
death chamber of their brother,
Arthur and Justus Goebel aud Mrs.
Braunacker have given out no iu-
timation of their wishes, and prob
ably no definite arrangements will
be made until tomorrow. 1t is
understood that a request will be
made, on behalf of the citizens of
Frankfort, that Mr.. Goebel's last
resting place be in the cemetery
here, where lie buried Daniel
Boone and Vice President Richard
M. Johnson.
CONDITION YESTERDAY.
Mr.. Goebel's condition last night and
well into the morning was considered so
much improved that for the first time since
he was shot down hopes were entertained
for his ultimate recovery. His hiccoughs
and nausea. with both of which he has
been troubled more or less from the first.

temperature had been reduced to nearly

NO FORMAL INQUEST.

Late this evening 1t was decided to hold
no formal inquest over the remains. Thi.
is in compliance with the wishes of the
friends and family of the dead Democratic
leader. The coroner will accordingly issue
a certificate of the cause of death without
the formality OF an inquest. this being suf-
fcient TO comply with the law.

From boyhood Nansen accustomed
himself to the use Of snowshoes and
would often go 40 or so miles on them
without taking any food with him. He
had great dislike to any outfit for his
excursions. On one occasion he and
some Of his friends set off on a long
snowshoe expedition, all except Nam
sen having wallet containing their
provisions on their backs. When they
got to the first resting place, Nansen
unbuttoned his coat and took some
smoking pancakes from the lining and
asked his friends to share his food.
They all refused, however. not caring
for the mode of conveyance and heat.

A TICKLE IMMIGRANT.
Her Experience with Two Lovers at
Uncle Sans barge Once

There seem to be manifold oppor-
tuniticS among the immigrants coming
to America on shipboard for falling in
love, particularly on the slower steam
ers when people are thrown together
for a period of from l. To Is days"
says John Gilmer Speed in Ainslee's.
In this case worthy young Russian
was cheated out of u very pretty bride
by a likely Italian fellow traveller of
the maiden. Strangely enough she
knew not one word of Italian nor he
word of Russian, yet the brides
countryman was Tilted, and the panto-
mime lovers were married and set
forth gayly and confidently to learn
each other and the great new world
they had entered at one and the same
time.
another case was equally ludferous.
A Swedish maiden Of somewhat tickle
mind fell in love with a fellow voy-
ager without apprising him of the fact
that she was betrothed 10 another man
whom she was to meet al the barge
office ana marry. 1t was her intention
to hurry ashore with her new lover
and outwit the former by prior cere-
mony, but the red tape of the office
prevented that. and the first lover came
TO welcome his bride. She then as
promptly fell in love with No. |. But
when No - pleaded and threatened,
she could not decide which one she
loved the better so she was detained
while the two men haunted the barge
office, glaring at each other.
when the detention time had elaps-
ed the bride, still not knowing her
mind, was sent unceremon.ously back
on the same steamer that Drought her
over both Tilted lovers abandoning the
field in despair. But on arriving on
her native soil once more the maiden
dared not face her people, so back she
came. having just money enough to
nav her passage, and sent for lover No.

obliged. but rs he had already married
a handsomer girl in the interval he was
compelled to decline to come for her.
The maiden then sent word to No. , to
like effect, but he declared that he had
had enough of the fickle feminine, and
thus in defeat the maiden was trans
ported back again to face the leers and
ieers of her native hamlet"

A young man of this city rang up a
lady acquaintance of his in Court
street some days ago, but instead of
her answering the phone herself her
elder sister did so. The young man
recognized the difference at once and
said in suave, mellow voice:
won't you please deliver a message
to Miss Clara"
Delighted at the prospect of carrying
a message that might result in giving
her some insight into the relation that
existed between her sister and the
young man at the other end of the line,
she answered:
"Why, certainly. with the greatest of
pleasure" .
"Well, tell her to come to the phone"

THE KING WAS BETTER.
But the Doctor Got Little Credit For
His Efforts.


A story illustrating the good sense
lnd humor of the late King IIumbert
: told ut the expense of his physician,
Dr. Saglione. Sometimes the king,
rom his hunting lodge of Castle Flu
sanO went To the sea and amused him
'elf by shoveling sand into a cart.
Take care. your majesty" said Sagli.

much" "Ah, my dear Signor Doctor"
answered the king, resting his chin
Jn his two hands that graSped the
handle of his spade, this muscular eX.
'rcise does me much more good than
your prescriptions" Yes, but one
must abuse nothing" But tell you
that ! feel very well, and you are
afraid you see in this poor shovel a
competitor" And. laughing heartily,
the king finished filling his cart.
However, by exposing himself in
every way without exercising any care,
the king contracted bronchitis, which
took chronic form and gave him a
rather troublesome cough. This cough
was a source of anxiety to the faith
full doctor. as he could not convince his
patient of the necessity for taking med
icine. Occasionally the doctor was
even sent away abruptly by the king,
who would say, II have not called you.
Why did you come? You may go. |
thank you very much"
one evening, however, the doctor
thought he had gained his point. and he
prepared for the king in his bedroom
the powders he was to take during the
night. The next morning Dr.. Saglionc
rose very early, being very anxious to
know the effect of his medicine. He
was received in the bedroom and at
once asked, well, how does your maj
esty feel this morning?"
"Much better-I may say quite WE'LL"
was the response.
"Ah." observed the doctor, rubbing
his hands with satisfaction, "you see
the results of listening to reason"
What do you meanT asked the
king.
The powders"
"Bravo!" shouted Humbert. "Go
into the next room and see what you
can find
The powders were in the waste paper

Why He Wanted n Receipt.

There was a lawyer in the Indian
country who had none too good repu-
tation for honesty, says the Chicago
News.
One of the aborigines employed him
to do little legal business. 1t was
done to the clients satisfaction, the
fee duly paid and receipt for it duly
demanded. "A receipt isn't necessa-
ry," the lawyer said. But want it,"
replied the red man. There was some
argument, and the attorney finally de-
manded his reason. "Since becoming
a Christian | have been very careful
in all my dealings that may be ready
for the Judgment" answered the brave
scntentiously, land when that day
comes | don't want to take time to go
to the bad place to get my receipt from
you" The receipt was made out and
promptly delivered.

Thrive without Meat.

1t is the religion of nearly all Asiat-
les to abstain from eating flesh. fish or
fowl, because it is sin to kill for food
anything that has instinct, "lest it be
hindered on its upward way" Besides,
according to the doctrine of transmit
grafton of souls, one might kill and eat
ones grandmother But, aside from
that, vegetable food, 1t is claimed,
makes better muscle and bone than
meat. Anyway, 1t is well known that
the stevedores of Constantinople and
other eastern ports never eat meat, and
that, as class, they have no superiors
anywhere in the world in physical
strength.
