SEES ASSASSIN AT THE WINDOW.
Detective Gives Clear Version of the
shOoting-onIy Two shots.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 3O.-Charles
Noonan, a local detective. gives the best de-
tailed account of the attempted assassina-
ton of Senator Goebel. He was standing
just outside the state house gate when Sena-
tor Goebel came along on his way to the
senate session. Noonan said:
Colonel Eph Lillard came along about
twenty feet ahead of Senator Goebel. He
was alone. Goebel was accompanied by
Colonel Jack Chinn and there were not a
half dozen people scattered about the yard.
/ heard a keen, sharp crack of a Winchester
rifle and saw Goebel throw both hands TO
hio right side. He ree!ed and Colonel Chlnn
jumped forward TO catch him. Before he
could do so the senator fell to the ground.
My first impulse was to see who fred the
shot. / saw the figure OF a man at the third
story window and am satisfied he fired it.
He used smokeless powder. There were
only TWO shots fired. The second shot was
fired after Goebel fell to the ground. Chinn
and Lillard were the first to reach him."

Washington Expresses Regret.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 50.-A great many
people in Washington feared there would be
a bloody outcome on account of the bitter
feeling that has existed in Kentucky before
and since the election and which has been
growing in intensity daily.
In the house the news spread like wildfre
and was for Il time almost the sole topic of
conversation. The report was received at
first with incredulity and after confirmation
with amazement. The members gathered
in groups to discuss 1t and there were
everywhere expressions of horror that the
bitter political contest had eliminated in an
attempted assassination.

Those who are hopeless concerning
"the future of the negro" in this coun-
try can perhaps gain little hope from
the Farmers Improvement Society
movement in Texas The starter and
chief promoter of this movement Is r.
l.. Smith, originally a teacher in ne
gro school at Oakland. This idea, which
grew out of a village improvement So
ciety, first took definite shape in 1891.
These are the four "planks:" To abolish
the credit system by raising supplies at
home and by paying cash; to foster an
intelligent interest in improved farm
ing; to cooperate in purchasing sup
sickness and death benefit society
this last to draw in those who could
not be reached otherwise. In five years
this movement had SO completely trans
formed the village of Oakland that it
became impossible to distinguish the
homes Of the blacks from those of the
whites. The movement has now spread
to eighty-six different communities in
Texas, and represents the ownership of
land and live stock whose aggregate
taxable valuation is $635,00 Best of
all, in it's bearing on the negro problem
the movement, while stimulating race
independence, wins the respect of the
whites and tends to allay race antago-
nisms. Evidence Of this is the fact that
Mr.. Smith has been twice elected to the
Texas legislature by constituency
where the whites are in a majority.
Facts like these are worth more than
many learned and profound discussions
concerning 1.-The future of the negro"

So many women are striving to
straight and fiat, that fluffy fronts are
getting the go-by. But ties and scarfs
are found in many new sorts Several
new ideas are shown In stocks Some
of them look attractive, but all should
be put to this test: the collar part
should fit WELL set well on the collar
band and be stiff enough to hold up:
the scarf should then be very soft, so
that the manipulation of tying does not
mess 1t. Absolute freshness is essential
SO If you are going to take to stocks for
steady wear you must provide we'll for
a change, even though you are going to
take vacation in the wilderness
Taffeta scarfs of all varieties and
scarfs corded like taffeta are passed
from front to back and again to the
front, there tying In little handker-
chief knot A linen collar may be I'M
derneath, but a much more comfortable
stiffener is a wired porous fibre collar
foundation. These are shaped and pin
into place easily They are cool, vet
solid enough to hold up the scarf tidily.
A device that tends to GOODNESS about
the throat should be welcomed for
summer. BY the same reasoning all
hands should take up collarless bodices.
But there are many necks that this fin
ish never would become, and many
more must have time before horrid
marks made by high collars can BE- re-
moved. FLORETTE.

| Bryan, the true-hearted, was nomi-
mated last night unanimously, as every
body expected he would be, so there is
no surprise in that. Nor is there any
surprise in the platform adopted. 1t Is
as radical in the silver matter as was
| the platform of 1896. The silver plank
at the beginning of the platform, but
in the latter part of it, is the plank
adopted by the narrow vote of rs to "a
in the COMMITTEES. 1T reads: I'VE affirm
and endorse the principles of the ma
tional democratic platform adopted at
| Chicago in 1896 and we reIterate the de-
| mand of that platform for an American
| financial system made by the American
people for themselves which shall re-
store ard maintain a bimetallic price
level and as part of such system the
immediate restoration of the free and
the present legal ratio of Is to / without
waiting for the consent of any other ma
ton The talk Is that without this
plank Bryan would have no hope With
it he probably wont have much more.
The platform comes out strongest on
Imperialism" 1t says: 1.-THE import
ance of other questions now pending
before the American people is in no wise
diminished and the democratic party
takes no backward step from it's posi-
ton on them, but the burning issue of
imperialism growing out of the Spanish
republic and the destruction of our free
institutions. We regard it as the para
mount issue OF the campaign" 1t says
that the constitution follows the flag"
which is a rather neat phrase. IT as
serts that no nation can long exist half
republic and half empire, and it warns
the American people that Imperialism
abroad will lead quickly and inevitably
to despotism a home. 1t denounces the
Porto Rico law, and the Philippine poll
cy of the present administration. 1t is
not opposed to territosial expansion
which can be erected into States in the
union and whose people are willing and
fit to become American citizens. 1t in
sists on the strict maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine. 1t Opposes "militar-
ISM and government by injunction"
1t loosely and violently attacks the
trusts and then tamely says: Corpora
lions should be protected in all their
rights, and their legitimate interests
should be respected; but any attempt
by corporations to interfere with the |
public affairs of the people or to control |
should be forbidden under such penal |
ties as will make such attempts impos-
sib,e." 1t says "Nicaraguan" instead |
of 'Isthmian." 1t condemns about ev-
erything the Republican party has done I
or might, could or would do, and gives I
the Beers the sympathy Of many for |
whom it is not entitled to speak.
The platform isn't quite as wicked as
the platform of 1896 was, although it is
perhaps little more foolish. The main !
beauty of 1t Is that Bryan can stand on
it, strike his swelling breast and de-
clare that he is the same old Bryan and
that whatever else has changed he has

truth than poetry in his daclarati ton.
