II Is not to be supposed that the Re-
publicans will meekly submit to see their
lawfully elected governor deposed by fraud
and sharp practice.-Helena Herald.
Goebel is yet lighting on the outside for
the governorship. and the chances are

His failure to grind out majority for

how difficult It is for a boss, with all the
advantages Goebel enjoyed, to override the

In their desperation, some of the Re-

There are some wrongs of government so
infamous that men are not disposed to con-
cede that they can or should be justified by
the formality Of law. Law is not always
equity or right. Such is the situation in
Kentucky.-New York Evening Sun.
The latest device of the Hon. Bill Goebel
is to swear out an injunction against the
constitution; and, strange to say, he has
found judge who was willing to make
this little experiment in government by in
junction. Memphis Commercial Appeal.
IF we may Judge the course of public
opinion from the utterances of the most in
telligent newspapers Of the state, there is
widespread conviction that we need in
Kentucky a revival of patriotism. which
will drive the brutal and venal leaders of
politics back to the black dens from which
they charlottesville Post.
When public sentiment reaches so dam
gerous a pitch as this, heroic measures
are in order. even at the cost Of straining
precedent and exceeding statutory provi-
sion. If conditions be as stated. the duty
OF Gov. Taylor is plain. 1t will be far bet
ter for tho reputation and future of Ken
lucky that he defy a confessedly corrupt
legislature, call out the militia and main
tain himself in office by armed resistance
pending final settlement, than that he
should supinely surrender to the vicious
forces now in the field and turn the COM
monwealth over to the mercies OF the spirit
of revolution-w which must entail appalling
conditions in the near future.-New York

FARMER INJURED.
Morris Gruwell Hurt by Runaway
Team Yesterday

A team belonging to Norris Gruwell,
a farmer residing seven miles southeast
of the city, became unmanageable on
the South Side yesterday morning and
ran away, throwing Mr.. Gruwell in
front of the vehicle which ran over his
PROSTATE body. The injured man was
brought up town, a physician summon
ed who dressed his injuries, after
which he was conveyed to the home of
relatives.
The horses ran away twice yester-
day. The first time was when Mr..
Gruwell first came into town. They
ran into a corner of building on the
South Side and We're checked with no
damage. Later Mr.. Gruwell, after
loading some farm machinery in his
wagon started for home. When he ar
rived at w. l. Peck's grocery store the
horses again became frightened, broke
the wagon pole, tipped the wagon up
and threw Mr.. Gruwell in front of the
wheels, two of them passing over his
body, one across the chest and the 9TH
er across the lumbar region, beside cut
ting an ugly cash in his head. Spec1a-
tors saw the accident, picked Mr.. Cru
well up and conveyed him to the office
of DR.. M. HI. Sprague, where his inju-
ries Were dressed. Later he was con
veyed to the home of his sister, Mrs.
Charles MADDEN, No. 1922 Orchard
street, where he now is. 1t is not
thought that Mr.. Gruwells injuries are
dangerous.

WORK is STOPPED.
lows Central Contractors Tied Up in
Litigation.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily. !.
Mention was made IN the Courier
yesterday of an attachment case filed
in the clerks office by George +. Helm
del, attorney for e. McDaniels,
against Payne, Bradshaw, McMahan &
Co. The defendants in this case are the
contractors who have the contract for
constructing the piers of the new Iowa
Central bridge across the Des Moines
river near Eddyville. Yesterday work
on the piers was stopped by Sheriff
John Doner, of Monroe county, and
Deputy Sheriff Homer Fry, of Mahus-
ka county, who each had writs of at
tachment for claims aggregating more
than $1,000. Manning & Epperson, of
Eddyville, have claim for over $7oo,
and james Mooney, of Mahaska coun-
ty, has claim for over $500. Last
week the defendants in this case plac-
ed a mortgage on their plant, hence
the issuance of the writs. 1t is prob
able that the affairs of the contractors
will be tied up for some time.

One residence and two stores were
burglarized last night, all the work be
ing done presumably by the same gang.
Notwithstanding the number the value
of the property taken will not exceed
Sc in value. The thieves were evident
ly Of the hungry kind because in most
cases nothing but food was taken al
tho in one instance they rifled the cash
register and secured So for their
trouble.
At the Sunrise. grocery on North JET
ferson street this morning the propri-
etor found the front door wide open
and evidences of three men having
helped themselves to something to eat.
Investigation showed that they had
come up thru the cellar into the store
room where they helped themselves to
| quantity of bologna, cakes and bread
which they ate at one of the counters.
One box Of Courier cigars was also
missed, but the proprietor says that his
loss will not exceed So. The cash reg
lister had been left open for just occa-
sions of this kind, hence the thieves
were not put to the trouble of break

standing wide open. In this case it
seems to be the work of amateurs.
| A block further down Jefferson
street is the residence of Will Arm
strong which was also entered but
nothing. was. secured except strawber-
ries and cream which must have tasted
well after the diet Of bologna, bread
and cakes further up the street. En-
trance was secured to this place by
way of the bay window which was
pried from it's sfastenings without
awakening the family. Mr.. Arm
strong's coat and vest were taken out
side but as the clothing contained
nothing of value outside of watch
chain and some papers the thieves
threw the articles on the ground, TAX

From Jefferson street these bold bad
men transferred the scene of their OPP
erations to Second street. They pried
open the rear window Of Fred Ding's
grocery store, entered the building and
rified the cash register of its contents.
securing SO in change. Nothing else
was missed by the proprietor.
Sunday night it was reported that
burglars were at work in Marbles gro
Gerry store at the corner Of West Sec
ond and Benton street and word was
sent for the police to come out there
as soon as possible. They responded to
the call and found one hundred-rats
all of which fed upon the approach of
the guardians Of the peace. No arrests
