AFTER comparing the material offered
for county officers on the two tickets in
this county there can appear to the
Democratic voter no reason why he
should support the opposition ticket,
while to the unbiased Republican must
appear the fact of the great superiority
of at least a portion of the personnel on
the Democratic ticket to that offered by
his party, This is going to be Demo
cratic year, and Crawford county voters
should keep this fact In mind and see
that good majority is rolled up here.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 2o.-
The report published in the Sentl-
mel yesterday to the effect that
Charles Finley, ex-Secretary Of
State of Kentucky, is in hiding in
indianapolis, has been confirmed.
Finley was joined here yester-
day by Ex-Governor Bradley, Of
Kentucky, and the two are await

nent Republican of the same State
The name of the third man who is
expected to arrive to-day is not

That he is safe here, was con-
firmed yesterday by the Governor S
office, it being announced officially
that the Governor would not recog-
nize requisition from Governor
Beckham, of Kentucky, for the re-
turn to that State of Finley or any
of his associates.
A. b. Voiles, a former Louisville
newspaper man, is in the city to
Join Finley, whose friend he is.
O"Finley is the man they are after

heat of public feeling, say that any
man is guilty of the murder of Goe-
bel and that prisoners life would

"Finley had nothing to do with
the murder of Goebel. He is a
grand fellow. Goebel was shot by

COLONEL JACK CHINN
Will Give Lectures to Help the
GOebeI Monument Fund.

Frankfort, KY, March 26,-Col-
ouel Jack ChinD, the devoted friend
of Governor Goebel, who was with
him when he was shot, announced
tonight that he would shortly take
the lecture platform. His subject
will be the political situation in
Kentucky, beginning with the cam
paign for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination and covering de-
tails of the regular campaign, the
contest, assassination, trials ofsus-
poets and all other occurrences re-
lating to it. Colonel Chinn says he
will visit all the leading cities, and
will devote the entire proceeds to
the Goebel monument fund. He
has, he says, received offers from a
number of theatrical organizations,
asking him to go on the stage, and
this suggested the lecture tour.

BROKE AN ARM.
Will Cavanah Victim of Bad Acct
dent at Princeton.

Mr.. VIII Cavanah, of West Nine
teenth street, had the misfortune to
break his right arm above the ell
bow Last Saturday. He had been
engaged at blacksmithing in Prince
ton for several weeks and while
shoeing a mule the animal lunged
and Mr.. Cavanah was thrown to
the ground. He fell on the limb,
breaking the bone in two. He was
able to return home the next day
and his condition is now as favora-
bic as the accident permits.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1900-03-30

The latest development in the
Goebel assassination is that Ii. e..
Youtsey owned the rifle from which
the assassin fired the fatal shot
Youtsey is said to have purchased
the steel bullet cartridges and to
have exhibited after the tragedy an
empty shell with the remark; The
buller that was in this shell killed
Goebel." Directly after the shoot
ing Youtsey is said to have fled
with the rifle in his trousers leg to
the basement and then to Taylor S
Office. After the tragedy Taylor is
said to have urged Youtsey to leave
Frankfort. Other startling evil
dence has also been adduced as a
result of the confessions, The
militia which had been secretly as
sembled in the arsenal was pro-
vided with overcoats and cartridges
an hour before the shooting, and
was in full marching order, Capt.
John Davis and Holland Whitaker
we're the messengers who rushed
from Taylor's Office to that of the
Adiutant General as soon as Yout-
sey arrived and reported what had
been done.
Davis has been unable to give
bond and IS still in confinement.
w. S. Taylor has left Frankfort
for Butler county, owing to the ill-
ness of his sister He spent the
night in Louisville.
