GOEBEL. NOT 50 WE'LL
Frankfort. Ky, Feb. 3.-Dr. z. E
Hume came from Governor GoebeTs
room a few minutes before o'clock and
reported the condition of the patient as
a little worse than at o'clock. He
said that nausea had set in once more
and that the hiccOuEhS which had been
severe at times yesterday had reap
peared, though they were not so Vio-
lent at the time of their first ap-
pearance.
The recurrence of the hiccoughs, the
doctor said, was not a favorable symp-
tom He had hopes that they arose
from an irritated condition of the stom-
ach, in which case they were less dan
gerous than If coming from the chest.
The general condition of the patient
the doctor described as being still one
of extreme danger, with the chances
in favor of death.
His pulse and respiration are still
high, but his kidneys, the condition of
which had been regarded as the most
unfavorable symptom, are performing
IONS r1rnl n
ner, thus obviating in degree the
danger of uremic poisoning.
AT present Governor Goebel breathes
altogether from his left lung" said Dr.
Williams. "CIotted blood has almost
entirely coated his wounded right
lung, which of course forms a natural
bandage and prevents further bleeding,
but later will prove somewhat a source
of danger. The clotted blood viii de-
compose in about eight days, and then
it may be necessary to remove a sec
tion of a rib to remove the decOmposed
blood The wound will then be drained
and the danger will then be from sec
ondary hemorrhage."
At II o'clock DR.. Hume made the fol-
lowing statement in regard to Goebels
condition:
Il am sorry to say Governor Goebel
IS decidedly worse. He is very restless
and apparently losing strength. He had
been troubled more or less with nausea
and h1ccoughlng all morning and II mas
been found necessary to administer
hypodemic injections of morphine
and atrophine. Should we succeed in
restoring his stomach to its normal
condition so the governor can receive
some nourishment, there are hopes for
him. But no one can tell how long his
strength Will hold out in his present
condition The morning the governor
was shot he was sick at his stomach
at the hotel and he went to the state
house without anything in his stomach
He has had nothing since All in all the
Is a
this time yesterday"
At noon the governors pulse was 126
and his respiration 46.
His temperature was not taken.

ture adjourned to this place cat least
the Republican side of it, will be held

ing of the same. BY T3ylOr'S orders the
Faris Building a three-stOry brick
structure at the corner of Main and
Manchester streets, is being fitted up as
place OF meeting
The hotel accommodations are very
poor. There is room for not more than
100 persons in the three small structures,
the Catchings House, Riley House and
Eversole House. Probably $50 more
could be accommodated in private
dwellings.
God-fearing citizens do not want a
meeting here. They fear the cOncOurSe
of lawless mountaineers that would be
attracted, with the probable renewal of
feuds which have been suppressed for a
time through the failure of the factions
to meet
