FEDERAL AID SOUGHT.
Governor Taylor Appeals to President
Mckinley for Federal Interference.

Washington, February president
Mckinley has received a long message
from Governor Taylor, of Kentucky,
dated today at Frankfort. Governor
Taylor declares that he considers him
self the legally elected executive of the
state and says that a riot may occur
at n time which will cause much
bloodshed. Governor Taylor says that
he is doubtful of his power to control
the situation and appeals to the presi-
dent to end the matter and secure peace
in the state by recognizing him as the
governor of Kentucky. The appeal
for administration aid is urgently put.
Governor Taylor'S communication to
President Mckinley is in it's nature a
memorial 1t goes at great length
into the situation in Kentucky, max
ing an explanation of the conditions
there. While definite and absolute in
formation on this point is not obtain
able. there is reason to believe that a
special request for the immediate pres
ence of federal troops is not made.
No action of I'M kind has been aiken
on Governor Taylor's memorial and it
can be positively stated that up to mid
night no decision whatever with ref
renee to it had been reached It will
be considered al tomorrow's regular
cabinet session.
The president will go very slow in
the matter, in the hope that events in
the state itself will so shape them
selves as to relieve the administration
of the necessity of any action.
The president is in communication
with Governor Taylor and it is posi-
BILE that some statement regarding
their correspondence may be made
public later.

GOEBEL HAS KILLED HIS MAN.
How He Shot Colonel John Sanford
Dead at Covfngton. Ky.

William Goebel himself knows how
to use firearms. and an incident of thil
kind in his life was one of the leading
points brought against him in the re.
cent Kentucky campaign. when his op.
e OFTEN referred TO him as las
SaSsin."
The incident originated in a bill
which, through Goebel' influence, pass
ed the Kentucky Legislature reducing tc
l cent the toll across the bridge lead
ing from Covington TO Cincinnati. Col
olenl John Sanford. an ex-confederats
oIncer, VINO was then secretary OF the
Farmers and Traders bank of Gov
ington, and was one of the laryes,
stockholders in the bridge
made an attack on Goebel In a Cow
lngton newspaper. The two men had
belonged 10 rival factions in the dem
ocratic party. between which personal
encounters and convention fights had
oeen frequent, and the bridge toll cpl
o d brought the feud to a crisis.
Goebel responded to %Sanford's news
paper attack in a caustic unsigned ar
ucle. which, Ii is said. caused Colonel
sanford TO that he would
shoot the author on sight.
On April IL, 1895, Goebel. accompani-
ed by Attorney General Hendrick and
Frank Helm, president of the First
National bank of Covington. were about
10 enter Helms office. At the door
stood Sanford. He hoo hands with
Hendrick, and. turning TO Goebel. ask
ed II the latter had written the article
against him.
Il did" answered Goebel.
Both men drew pistols and there
were two almost simultaneous reports.
Sanford's shot passd through GoebeTs
clothing. GoebePs passed through San
ford's lead and the colonel fell dead
in his tracks.
A crowd gathered and there was
great confusion, during which Goebel
walked away. He sen for his brother
Justus by telephone and then gave nlm-
self up to the police. When his broth
er arrived at the Jail both men wept.
Here is the reason / killed him." ex-
claimed Goebel under the excitement OF
the shooting. He pointed to bullet
holes in his own clothing. He was
lying in wait for me-" Goebel added.
i saw him when / was about twenty
feet away. AS soon as l saw him reach
for his revolver / reached for mine.
He fired the first shot"
After hearing witnesses for an entire
day a Jury rendered a verdict
Of self-defense. Sanford's friends then
brought a charge OF manslaughter
against Goebel, but at a preliminary
hearing before Judge Stephens and a
jury he was discharged.
Colonel Sanford'S widow was ulti-
mately made insane by the loss of her
husband, and in July last was formal
ly adjudged a lunatic by a jury in the
Lexington court.
This act arrayed against Goebel in
the recent Kentucky campaign many

SOLDIER BOYS LETTER.
FENDER County Boy in the Philippines
Asks of People at Home.
Manila, December p. 1899.

! Manila, December q. 1899.
Editor Messenger:
If you will be kind enough to spare
me a little space in your paper I would
like to give a brief description of my
trip to the Philippines.
I enlisted in Savannah, Ga, on he
18th of September and was sent from
there to Jefferson barracks, Mo-, and
was then assigned to Co. G., Thirty
eighth regiment, United States volun-
teers. On the 10th of October we left
there for San Francisco and on the
10Th OF November we embarked on the
Transport St. Paul and Duke of Fife
for Manila Six companies on each
boat; for the first eight days we were
in a terrible storm but the balance of
the trip vas very good. We were ten
days making the trip to Honolulu, and
stayed there five days; that certainly
is the garden spot of the world. 1 went
ashore every day while there, and was
reate royalty by the people. We left
there on the 9Th of December and are
now in Mar.la harbor. 1 have
often heard of sea sickness, but / never
could imagine what it. was until /
went up against the real thing; / was
sick the whole voyage; for the first
eight days l didn't eat anything at all;
II l a to take my choice or the two,
being sea sick or fighting Filipinos, l
would take the latter.
/ have not seen a home paper since
I left, and if any of my friends would
be kind enough to mail me some OF
these apers after they read them l
would certainly appreciate them.
l hope you all had a good Christmas
mine was very sorry. 1 will give you
the bill of fare: We had for break
fast Christmas morning-oat meal, beef
steak, light bread, condensed milk and
coffee; and for dinner we had slum
bread and coffee.
Well. l guess by the time this reach
es you all l will know What it is to be
in a battle, but 1 hope that / may come
out on top; L want the prayers of as
many of my friends as will that 1 may
return home safe when ] have served
my time.
/ must say hat We made the voyage
without losing a man, although we had
a good many sick with measles. With
best regards to all my friends, / re-
main.
Yours truly,

take plenty OF time to digest them. No
circulating library which has to support
itself by the income from its books can af-
ford to keep many and expensive books
Of reference, since they may be called for
only two or three times in year; but
such works are like the proverbial pistol
carried by the traveller in Texas; when
they are wanted they are very badly
wanted. indeed. This is true not only OF
histories, but OF books of travel. science.
and philosophy. The circulating Libraries
of this city have had a particularly hara
time TO exist. because they have. in a
sense. competed with the Government in
stitutiOns. They cannot, therefore. sCP-
ply any books TO their patrons which are
not sure TO be frequently called for. But
it is certainly rather queer that in the
Capital Of the United States the student
who is also a worker cannot have as good
facilities for study as are to be found in
many a little city OF less than twenty
thousand Inhabitants. Some Of these mu-
inequalities have libraries which are, in
ment but whose running expenses are
partly paid by a small tax-twenty-five or
fifty cents year for each subscriber-and
by fines for failure to return books within
a certain time. Here the patron, be he
laborer. physician. Congressman. or me
chanic. can secure auy standard work OF
reference except an encyclopedia. take it
home with him. and keep it for fOrt-
night; he can then. if he so desires, give
notice that he wishes TO keep it for anOth-
er fortnight or even for a longer time
This gives the teacher or independent stu
