TAYLOR STILL UNDECIDED.
Hasn't Signed, but Doubtless Will
Sign, Louisville Agreement.

Frankfort, KY. Feb. S.-Governoi
Taylor has not yet signed the Louisville
agreement, although the general opinion
Is that he will ultimately do so. Gov.
ernor Taylor refuses absolutely to make
any statement in regard to his probable
action in the matter, and during most OF
yesterday declined to receive any callers
except his legal advisers.
Governor Taylor sent kilograms to ex-
Governor Bradley, Augustus E. Will
son, Judge Barr and Attorney Fairleigh
asking them to come to Frankfort for
conference. Mr.. Wilson was the only
one to arrive and shortly after O'Clock
last night he. with Judge Yost and Gem
eral Lindsay, called on the governor and
went into conference with him. Every
section of the Louisville agreement was
gone over carefully, but it Is understood
that the principal thing discussed was
that section bearing on the passage of
new election law.
che repeal of the Goebel law Is the one
thing most strongly desired by Governor
Taylor and, as the language of the
Louisville agreement Is considered by
him too vague as regards this matter,
1t is considered possible that the clause
will be made more specific before he
signs the agreement
Another cause for Governor Taylor's
delay in regard to the agreement Is said
to be the cry Of victory and sur
render" sent up by the Democrats. The
agreement as presented to Governor
Taylor is understood to be somewhat
different from the published abstracts,
in that the clause regarding the election
law and one or two other matters IS
much more specific than it is generally
understood to be, though still not strong
enough to suit him.
The rank and file Of the Republican
party apparently believe there is some
foundation for the claims set up by the
Democrats. Scores of kilograms have
poured in on Governor Taylor, urging
him not to sign the agreement, hut to
maintain his present position and await
developments.
The train bearing the remains of Will
lam Goebel arrived here from Covington
at 1915 p. m. The day was exceedingly
disagreeable. The casket was carried
into the ladies' reception room of the
the remains of the dead Democratic
leader were carried into the hotel. The
casket, heaped with flowers, was laid
on the bier In the center of the big room,
the lid was unscrewed and the face of
the dead man exposed to view.
The steady drizzle of the morning
turned into pouring rain in the after
noon which kept up without cessation
until long after nightfall. and probably
not over 5000 or 1000 persons took the op-
portUnity to get last look at the dead
man. Many Of these were country peo-
pie. Probably half of those who filed
past the casket We're women. Many
pathetic scenes were witnessed as the
crowds slowly filed past by the bier.
Many of the women were weeping.

CONCESSION TO FARMERS.
Sugar Company Advances Price
Of Low Grade Beets.
LATE RAINS AFFECTED CROP

Tho Company VIII Pay not Loss than
Matter how Low they Test Parity not
Considered.
The late rains have materially reduced
tho sugar content of the beets which
were still in the ground, and as n result
the outlook has been most disCOurnging
TO both farmer and manufactures.
Sugar company were here the early part
Of the week, this matter received serious
consideration, and for the purpose of
making the condition fall as lightly rs
possible upon the beet grower, it was
decided to pay not loss than $3.00.a ton
for any bcets that it will be possible to
work This of course does not affect
beets which come up to standards en-
titling them to II higher price, but to
those beets which test II value of S3 90 u
top or less. As there are good many
beets of this character, this not on the
part of the company is IA concession
which no doubt will be appreciated by
the farmer. Following is u copy of n
circular which is being sent to beet
growers, explaining the situation in
full:
Dear Sir: Owing to the fact that in
some localities the beets are testing con
siderably below standard which is un.
doubtedly due to the continued heavy
fall rains, we have decided to vary from
the established prices of our contract as
follows:
The purity will not he considered in
determining the price, it being based on
sugar content entirely. The 10 cent
deduction for each per cent or fraction
thereof of purity will therefore not be
made. This means that beet testing
II per cent sugar with n purity below IS
per cent will still be 81 90 beet and
likewise on lower grades the purity will
not affect tho price rs determined by the
sugar
Beets testing below 10 per cent sugar
and 73 per cent purity will be received
if the sugar content is not so low that it
is absolutely impossible to use them in
the factory. Approaching the fact that
the returns at a price Of less than S3. 90
per ton is not sufficiently remunerative,
we have decided that - 90 per ton shall
be the minimum price and any beets
that it will be possible to work will be
received mt that figure. These changes,
of course, favor the grower and are
made because the season has been very
unfnvorable so far rs ripening the crop
is concerned Yours truly,
AMERICAN BEET SUGAR COMPANY.
