last words spoken were addressed to
DR.. Furnish, state senator from Boone
county, at 5:45. He called him by
name and asked 10 be given drink
of water. At 6 he nodded assent when
the physicians asked if he would at
tempt 10 take liquid nourishment.
Soon thereafter he fell into complete
uncOnsciOusness and so remained until
the end.
At 6:30, when it was apparent that
the end was near, the physicians left
the room. Only the brother and the
sister Of the dying man, Arthur Goe-
bel and Mrs. BrOnnecker, entered the
room and were the only ones present
when the death summons came.
Justus GOebel. a brother of the dead
statesman, with his wife and two chill
dren, who had been travelling night
and day for four days as fast as steam
would carry him from Phoenix, Ariz.,
arrived one hour too late in his race
against death.
Gov. GOebel's death was not made
public for some time after ii had oc-
CURED. In the meantime messengers
summoned democratic leaders quietly

the same floor of the hotel. Arrange
ments were soon made for transfer
ring the Office and authority of gov
ernor 10 Lieut.. Gov. Beckham.

ShackelfOrd in his notarial capacity
as clerk Of the court of appeals, swore
DR.. McCOrmack's signature to the aft
davit Of death.

OF Office. After he signed it and af-
frmed the oath he said: And may
God help me to meet this response
bility."
I'VE all trust that he will," said Col.
Young, and there was murmur of
'Amens."
II was in subdued and solemn tones
that Gov. Beckham received the con-
gratulations of those who witnessed
his induction into Office.

GOebers death was made public. The
effect was a general demonstration of
