ator Goebel dead at his desk. When
Goebelo heard this he sauntered
over to Gillespie and laughed in his
face.
While the excitement was high ex-
Representative Colson shot Lieut..
Scott, nephew Of exGov. Bradley.
and two other men who were In range
of his bullets, but the tragedy was not
considered political, although at first
80 reported. Nevertheless it created
an une asy feeling that, blood havi n q
been shed, riot and murder would be-
come infectious, and prayers were Of
fered in churches throughout the state
to avert the strife, of which the
most conservative observers were In
dread.
About the same time train load OF
mountaineers who had sworn that
Goebel should never be seated came
to Frankfort and camped in the public
square, but wiser counsels prevailed.
and they returned to their homes. Gov.
Taylor disclaimed responsibility for
their visit.

the trouble may be found before the

THE parental question as to whether
excessive study may not cause death
has arisen in ST. Louis, owing to the
sudden death of high school girl OF
thirteen. She was possessed Of an inor-
dinate ambition, and would spend her
lunch hour in studying, her instruc-
tors often urging that she lay aside her
books to seek fresh air and relaxation.
On the car, to and from her home, the
girl spent the most of her time study
ing. At home she spent much time
porting over her books. A searching
examination at SCHOOL, violent head
Of the brain-a little
white hearse. Such is the brief record
left to stand out as q warning to par
ents and teachers.

THE OLIVE BRANCH

AS there seems to be some prospect
now of peaceful ending of the Ken
lucky embroglio, the olive branch
having been lifted up yesterday instead
of the sword, q review Of the political
events that led to the tragedy which
has set the state in a commotion is oil
peculiar interest.
Mr.. Goebel was nominated for gov
ernor on June 25, 1899, after more than
unseated. Goebel at the time WAS a
state senator, and he was holding over
when shot. A convention was called
by protesting democrats to. make an in
dependent nomi q alton, and, on August
16, ex-Gov. John Young Brown was
chosen to lead the boilers. Attorney
General Taylor had been nominated by
the republicans.
The most passion ate and acrimonious
campaign in the history of Kentucky
followed. One of the charges against
Senator Goebel was that he had caused
to be enacted an election law which
virtually constituted the election board
date for the governorship. Prominent
democrats all over the state came out
against his candidacy. Among them
were Senator Lindsay, Gen. Simon B.
Buokner, Representative Owens and
ex-Representative Breckenridge. He,
however, defed his enemies, and dur
ing the campaign his life was often
10
that blood would be shed on election
day, but the polling passed off without
unusual incident and Taylor was sworn
In as governor and took his seat.
But the senator had another card to
play, and it was a trump. There was a
democratic majority in the legislature,
and he would rely upon it to register
his will. He, therefore, announced
that he would contest the election of
Taylor.
At this juncture warning letter,
supposed to have been written by
w. j. Bryan, who had taken the stump
for Goebel during the campaign, was
received by Senator Blackburn. The
writer called upon Senator Goebel to
give up his contest, as the proposed
action of the Goebel democrats of Ken
lucky was without precedent and, if
persisted in, would disrupt the demo-
cratic party in the state. The warning
fell on deaf ears. Goebel was not the
man to be turned from his purpose
He could match grit with any man in
the state, and he was fighting for his
political life.
Two republican Legislators were I'M
seated, and more cases were to follow. |
Senator Gillespie, of Nicho las, an anti !
Goebel senator, whose seat was want
ed announced that, If a motion were

that it was about to apply to the local
congresses scattered through the
south the same familiar tactics OF
crushing out competition. It was
pointed out to Mr.. Bryan that it would
be inconsistent to 60 into the campaign
with antitrust an issue while the
national committee. was controlled by
q man so completely Identified with a
trust as they claimed Senator Jones
was, but he was unnoved by their
argument. He will stand by Jones.

1T is reported from Washington that
two members of congress from cotton
states wrestled with Mr.. Bryan while
he was at the federal, capital recently
in q vain endeavor to turn him against
Chairman Jones, of the national dem
ocrstic committee. Among other
things, they alleged that Senator
Jones' connection with the Round Cot
ton Bale company disqualified him for
the position Of chairman. They de-
scribed the round cotton bale corpora
ton as having taken on the form of q
trust with extensive capital and alleged

WORST In HISTORY.
Meagre Reports From Devastated Re
gIOns Arrive.

Houston, Tex as, September 9.-Meagre
reports are arriving here fromthe country
between Houston and Galveston along
the line of the Santa re railroad. The
tornado was the most destructive in the
history of the state. The town of Alvin
is reported to be practically demolished
Hitchcock has suffered severely from
the storm, while the little town of Alta
Iona is reported without house stand
ing. Ths town of Pearl has lost one half
OF It's buildings.
L, B. Carlton, the president of the
business league of Alvin ana prominent
merchant there, reports that not q
building is left standing in the town,
ether residence or business Stocks Of
goods and house furniture are ruined
and crops are a total loss. Alvin is a
town of about 1900 inhabitants. Seven
persons were killed in and near the
town. They are:
Mrs. Prather, killed in Santa Fe rail-
road wreck

the Wharves or are floating bottom side up
III theSbay- There is q small steamship
ashore three miles north of Pelican isl-'
and, but Mr.. I1mmins could not distin-
gu1sh her name. She was flying Brit
lsh lag, Another big vessel has been
driven ashore at Virginia Point, and
still another is aground at Texas City.
At the south point of Houston island
an unknown ship lies in q helpless con-
dition.
The Hghtship that marks Galveston
bar, is hard and fast aground at BolIi-
var Point.
Mr.. Timmins and the man with him
on the schooner rescued two sailors from
the middle bay, who had been many
hours in the water. These men were for
eigners and he could gain no information
from them. a wreck OF a vessel, which
looked like steam barge, was observed
just before the party landed. In the bay
the carcasses Of nearly two hundred
horses and mules was visible. The scenes
Adur1ng the storm Mr. Iimm1ns said,
could not be described. Women and chill
dren crowded into the fremont hotel
where he was seeking shelter and all
night these unfOrtunates were bemOan-
lug their losses of kindred and fortune.
They were grouped about the stairWays
and In the galleries and rooms of the
hotel What was occurring in other parts
OF the city he could only conjecture
entirely submerged and cut off from com
munication. The boats are gone; the rail-
roads cannot be operated, and the water
is so high people cannot walk out by way
of bridge across the bay even should the
bridge be standing.
Provisions will be badly needed, as a
great majority of the people lost all they
had. The water-Works power house was
wrecked and a water famine is threat
ened, as the cisterns were all ruined by
the overflow of salt water. This, Mr.
Timmins regards as the most disastrous
problem TO be faced now. The city is in
darkness, the electric plant having been
ruined, There is no way OF estimating
the property damage at present So far
as he could see or hear, Mr.. Timmins
says the east end portion Of the city,
which is the residence district, has been
practically wiped out OF existence On
the west end, which faces the gulf and.
another portion of the island, much havoc
was done. The beach has been swept
clean. The bath houses are destroyed ami
many of the residences are total wrecks.

Prince Ching Said To Be
in Pekin.
Was Brought Under Escort of
Japanese Cavalry.

London, September 10, 415 a. m.-The
deadlock in Pekin apparently continues.
1t begins to look as if no solution would
be attained, at any rate before the ar
rival of Count Won Waldersee at Tien
Tsin. Germany seems to have introduced
a new complication by endeavoring to
organize some kind of offside movement
IN the province of Chi Ii.
From the plentiful crop Of conflicting
rumors, both as regards the actual posi-
ton Of affairs in China and the diplomat
ic aspect in Europe, it is next to impos-
sibIe to extract any definite fact. A
Washington special talks Of a movement
among the powers to appoint Sir Robert
Hart as the European representative in
negotiations with China. According to
the Shanghai correspondent OF the Times,
Ii Hung Chang is awaiting the imperial
edict appointing additional negotiators-
Belated dispatches to the Times from
PekIn say that tho court fed on the
morning Of August IA by the west gate.
While the japanese were shelling the
east gate. The intention of the court
was not to proceed to sian Flu, in the
province of Shen 81, but to turn north to
JehoI and to rem ain there awaiting
events. No high officials accompanied th'
court except Prince Ching.
In the apportionment OF the city to th'
control OF the different nations, th'
! Americans, in ignorance of what was be-
ing done, permitted a rectitcation OF th'
French quarter, adjoining the American
which transferred from American tC
French possession Prince Lii s palace, the
richest in Pekin, stocked with treasurer
worth millions of dollars.
