THREE CLERKS EMPLOYED
To Assist Miss Gross in Hand

The city library has been free now for
four days and nearly 600 have become

q. free library are already very apparent
Miss Gross, the librarian, has been rush
ed almost every minute since Wednesday
and yesterday she had three assistants
and there were people in line all the time
waiting 10 get blank applications and
procure books. The effect was aoparent
IN the library itself. There were more
vacant places on the shelves than was
ever seen before among the 500 volumes
in the library. One would wonder why
Wichita has not had a free library long
ago. The effect is remarkable and the
results cannot be less than gratifying to
people Interested in the public welfare.

GOEBEL DECLARED ELECTED
The Contrasting Board Votes on the
Subject and Decides That He LIS
Entitled to the Seat.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 3l.-While VIM.
Goebel lay at the point of death in his
room, as the result of an assassin S
bullet. the contesting board which for
two weeks had been listening to the
evidence in the contest for the gov
ernor's chair, declared him entitled to
the seat.
The boards having in charge the
contests between Goebel and Taylor,
and Beckham and Marshall, met at z
o'clock last night in the city hall to
consider the evidence, submitted to
them and prepare their report to the
Legislature. A few legal authorities
were read to them by the request of
Senator Allen, who wished light shed
upon few dark points. The vote was
then taken, and by a strict party vote
of 10 to l VIM. Goebel was declared
to have been legally elected governor
of Kentucky.
The Beckham-Marshall contest was
then voted upon, and a strict party
vote of to settled this matter. No

sons leading up to report, the boards
taking everything at one leap. Each
member of both committees announc-
ed that he had made up his mind as
to the merits of the case and voted
promptly as his name was called.
In the contest for governor Repre-
sentative Garberry was the one to vote
in favor of Taylor, and in the Beck
ham Marshall contest Reid and Lilly
were with Marshall,
An effort was made by number OF
democrats to get together a quorum
of both houses, hold night session
hear the reports of the two commit
tees, adopt them, and declare Goebel
governor before morning. They were
anxious to give him the honor before
he died. So many legislators had gone
to Louisville and Lexington for the
night that it was found impossible
to carry out the programme.
The republicans Will probably, as
soon as the decision is rendered ir
favor of Goebel, make application il
! the United States circuit court at Gin
cinnati, for an injunction restraining
| Goebel and Beckham from taking the
seats, and the battle will then be con
tinued before Judge Taft, of that
court.
