The attention of ice storage
men and consumers is directed
to a city ordinance prohibiting
the cutting and sale of ice from
Virginia and Silver lakes, pub
lished elsewhere In this issue of
The Enterprise. This ordinance
was passed at the instance of the
state board of health, the water
in the lakes mentioned having
been condemned. Virginia's ice
supply in future will come from
Turney's lake, three miles south.

Tried to Comnrnmisc.

About q week ago Pete Carroll, who
works at the Cement plant, returned
from a trip to Garnett on the night
passenger on the Santa Fe. When
he reached lola he was asleep but
was awakened as the train was leav-
ing town by the conductor and told
that he had passed his station.
Carroll claims that he had to make
the best scramble he could to get of
and that he injured his back by the
fall. The trsinmen say that the
train WAS stopped fer him and that
he was in too great hurry. The
difficulty was made known and the
road yesterday sent Its claim agent
here to see Carroll. An offer of $40
was made but was refused. Then an
offer of $40 and DOCTORS fees, and 1t lie
said Carroll was willing to take $40
and pay his own bill. The stOry is
probably the foundation for recent
squib in the X. G. Star that an lola
man wanted $50, 900 for being put Off
train.

rne outer edge of the capitol GROUNDS
to the steps of the capitol building
the distance is about 300 feet. Two
thirds of this had been passed and
the men were walking slowly when
suddenly shot rang out from a large
three-story building which stands
30 feet east of the capitol building.
This building is used for Offices by
nearly all the leading officials of the
state, Gov. Taylor and the secretary
of state having rooms on the first
floor.
AS the shot was heard, Goebel gave
n quick, involuntary exclamation of
pain and made an effort to draw his
revolver. His strength was unable
to the task, however, and he sank
upon the pavement. With great ra-
pidity several more shots were fired,
the bullets all striking the brick
sidewalk close to where Goebel lay.
None of them touched him, however.
In less than minute, crowd of
men was around Goebel. He was los
ing much blood and was becoming
very weak. lie was hastily carried
to the Office of DR.. T. +. Hume, in the
basement of the Capitol hotel and
about 1000 feet away from the spot
where the shooting occurred. Here
he was laid on sofa, while DR.. Hume
made a hasty examination, pronounce
ing the wound to be of "A nature that
must cause death in a short time
Goebel, who showed great fortitude
and courage throughout, smiled
weakly as he heard the verdict and
feebly rolled his head from side to
side in token of dissent from the
opinion expressed by the physician.
lie was then carried to his room on
the second floor of the Capitol hotel,
and in addition to Dr. Hume, Drs.
Mccormick and Ely were summoned
TO attend him. After careful ex-
animation of the wound, the doctors
announced that while exceedingly
dangerous, it was not necessarily ia
tai unless complications or blood
poisoning should set in. The pa
tient himself kept up his courage, in
sisting again and again that he was
not going TO die
Whitaker was quietly led away and
placed in Jail, while guard was
placed at the outer entrance to keep
out all people who had no connection
with the institution.
That the shooting Of Mr.. Goebel
was the result of a carefully-laid plan
is without question. The man who
did the work had evidently taken his
stand at the window which had prcyi-
ously been raised in order to allow
the free passage of the bullet, and
waited until his victim was in fun
sight before firing. Ever since the
influx of mountaineers last week u
large number of them have been

Frankfort, Ky. Jan. 31.-While
walking through the capitol grounds
on his way TO the capitol building at
ten minutes after If o'clock yesterday
morning, William Gocbel, the demo-
cratic contestant for governor Of
Kentucky, was shot down and very
dangerously wounded. Harland
Whitaker, farmer from Butler
county, the home of GOV. Taylor, is
now in Jail at Louisville charged with
the crime There is no direct evil
dence against Whitaker and he was
placed under arrest more because he
was caught around the capitol build
ing when the shots were fired than
for any other apparent reason. He
denies in the most positive manner
that he had any connection with the
shooting or knew anything about it,.
Senator Goebcl was wounded by
a rifle ball of small calibre, not over
SO, which struck him in the right
side Just below the armpit. The ball
passed through the back part Of the
right lung, across the body on di-
agonal line, passing out below the
left shoulder blade.
MIR. Goebel was on his way to the
senate chamber, in company with Col.
Jack Chinn and Warden Eph Lillard,
of the Frankfort pententiary. Mr..
Lillard was a few feet in advance of

ing side by side, Goebel being on the

A COMPLICATED SITUATION

-
Frankfort, n.y., Feb. Newer was
there n more complicated political
situation thar hat which confronts
the politicians & Kentucky, and never
was there onc Of which il seemed so
difficult to tO.m an accurate guess
at the outcome. The republican pnrty.
which two da,s ago was vainly striv-
ing TO hold ITS me mbers to their seats
upon the floor of the house and which
seemed almost powerlrss, is in the
saddle strong dnd vigorous and car
rying things with high hand. The
poWerlessneSs of the republicans Of
two days ago is more than equaled
by the apparent helplcssness of the
democrats of to-day. All Yesterday
the democracy were cropping
around, trying TO find some way in
which it could seat i'm the guberna-
tional chair its leader William GoebeI
who lies slowly dying of the wound
inflicted by the bullet of an assas-
SIN. No matter which way the dem
ocrats turned they were confronted
by the same prospect, a line of blue,
edged with steel and it was fully un-
derstood by both parties that the
line and the steel were there for bus
mess purposes only. There was no
bluit, no false alarm about it. All
day through the streets of Frank
fort soldiers marched and coulter
marched. Drills in the street were
frequently held in order that the men
might be w1rmed by exercise after
they had remained in the biting wind.
Around the penitentiary was a line

Died From Heart FaiInrn.

Tuesday evening about 6 o'clock
while seated near the kitchen stove
at the home of his parents near the
corner ofLincoln and Buckeye streets,
ed. Cummings was suddenly stricken
with heart failure and died short
time afterwards. A bout three weeks
ago he had an attack of pneumonia
but was dismissed a. cured about
week ago and has appeared to be in
excellent khealth and spirits. When
he was so suddenly stricken last even.
ing Drs. Fulton and Morgan were
summoned and they injected stimu-
lants but he died soon afterwards.
They agreed that one of the valves of
the heart had burst, as was indicated
by the sound of his heart beats before
he died.
Ed Cummings was about twenty
one years old and was pupil in the
public school until taken sick. His
parents moved here something over
year ago from farm near Piqua. His
brother Charlie works at the smelter
and he helped his father at teaming.
The funeral was conducted
Thursday afternoon from the United
Brethren church, Rev. Mrs. Price
officiating.
