These charts are n work we might
have expected from the exact and
painstaking Germans rather than from
the English. but English they are. The
fluctuations In wages OF wOrkingmen
for the past % years occupy another
and most interesting chart. The
changes are indicated by a black line
curving up and down over ruled col
umns and squares. Five trades have
been selected as the basis. These are
building. mining. engineering. textile
fabrics and agriculture. We find from
the map that the general tendency of
all wages In the United Kingdom has
been upward and that wages in the
engineering branch have gone steadily
upward. this. too, quite apart from any
considerations OF the great strike OF
1897.

GOEBEL DEAD.
Kentucky Democratic Chieftain
Dies From Effects of Assas-
sins Bullet.
A DUAL GOVERNMENT FOR THE "coL-
ONELs."

FRANKFORT, KY. February 3.-Gov-
ernor William Goebel died to- night at G. A
O'Clock. at the Capitol Hotel. as the result
OF a bullet wound in his right lung, in
fiicted on Tuesday, by an assassin upon
whom the crime has not yet been fixed.
Three quarters of an hour before this
DR.. Hume had announced that his pa
tient was steadily sinking, and at 80 he
had left the dying mans bedside at the
request Of Arthur GOebel and Mrs. Brau-
maker, brother and sister, who wanted
TO be alone with him when the end came.
They had been constant attendants of the
Democratic Executive. and knelt by his
bed to await the last breath.
Exactly one hour after the death of
Governor Goebel, J. C. w. Beckham was
sworn in as Governor Of the State.
The State of Kentucky is in state Of
uproar and confusion, if not absolute an
archy. brought about by the election con-
test there. It will be remembered that
w. 5. Taylor, the Republican candidate
for Governor, bad plurality on the face
of the returns, and was declared elected.
He took the oath of Office and assumed
the duties Of Governor. Senator William
GOebel. the Democratic nominee, contest
ed. and Tuesday a week the Democratic
returning board declared him 10 have
been elected.
On the same day. just before the decis-
ion was rendered, while passing on his
way to the Senate Chamber, GOebel was
shot by an unknown assassin and fatally
wounded. The ball passed through his
body, entering Just below the Rrmpit on
the right side and passing through the
right lung. Governor Taylor dissolved
the Legislature, alleging a state of insur-
rection, but the Democratic mem bers met
at hotel, received the report of the re-
turning board, and declared Goebel
elected. The oath of Office was shortly
afterwards administered 20 Goebel, who
was in the thrOes of death.
Harland Whitaker, farmer from But
Ter county, the home county of Governor
Taylor, is now in Jail at Louisville charg-
ed with the crime of shooting Goebel, but
with no direct evidence against him. He
was placed under arrest MOI because he
was caught aronnd the Capitol when the
shots were fired than for any other appa-
rent reason. He denies that he had any
connection with the shooting or that he
knew snything about it.
