and Winchesters, chewing long
green tobacco and staggering
under the influence of moonshine
whiskey. This crowd of black
guards and blacklegs by express
invitation of pseuds Governor
Taylor camped in the Offices and
corridors of the state house for
the avowed purpose of intimidat-
ing and bulldozing the legisla-
ture. For some reason which
has never been given to the
public the details of the plot
were suddenly changed and
Taylor, Powers and the other
conspirators decided the best
plan was to kill Goebel which
was accordingly done.
Appeal from the decision of
the Legislature was taken to the
Supreme Court of Kentucky and
that court sustained the legisla-
tive action. Then writ of error
was sued out and the case went
to the Supreme Court of the
United States. The highest
judicial tribunal in this country
listened to an elaborate and care
fully prepared presentation of
the case and after a full hearing
by unanimous decision held that
William Goebel had been legally
elected Governor of Kentucky.
In the meantime Goebel had been
assassinated and a grand jury
had returned indictments against
w. S. Taylor and others charg-
ing them as principals in the
murder of Goebel. Taylor went
to Washington in person and en-
deavored to get President Nc
Kinley to assist him in defying
the law, but he returned empty
handed and then fed from the
State. Powers, Howard and 9th
ers were arrested, tried, convict
ed and sentenced to hang. Tay-
lor went to Indiana. Governor
Beckham issued a requisition
upon the Governor of Indiana
for the surrender of Taylor to
the Kentucky authorities. Gov.
Mount refused to honor the re-
QUESTION and thus a man indict-
ed for the crime of murder has
escaped the penalty of the law
simply because he is a leading
member of a political party to
which the then and present gov
ernor of Indiana happens to be-
long.
But this is not all the story.
While w. S. Taylor was still
a fugitative from justice he was
sent by his party as a delegate at
large to the Republican National
Convention at Philadelphia in
1900. When that convention met
for the purpose of perfecting a
temporary organization and as
soon as the temporary chairman
completed his address this same
man Taylor arose in his place
and was recognized by that Off
Ger as Governor Taylor of Ken
lucky" Thereupon the conven-
tion arose en- masse and cheered
Governor Taylor to the echo.
That convention. representing
the votes and conscience of the
great republican party was
cheering and endorsing the arch
conspirator of a crime as heinous
and as bloody as that for which
Czolgosz is now being held. 1t
was an open endorsement of a
selfconfessed criminal who had
wantonly defed the civil author
ity of his State and who was
then and still is a fugitive from
justice. To the pious bigots of
the republican press we earnest
ly recommend the reflection upon
the assassination of Governor
Goebel and the probable effect
upon the "belief and actions of
such creatures as Czolgosz" of
the manner in which Taylor has
been protected by republican
officials, and more especially the

ENTIRE LUNG REMOVED.

Perry Taylor, of Santa Ana. Cal,
enjoys the rare distinction of being
one of the few human beings from
whom medical science has successful
ly removed an entire lung.
The patient, who is 26 years of age.
was stricken about four years ago
with what he believed was tubercu-
losis or galloping consumption, and
was treated accordingly by physi-
clans he consulted.
Fully 240 cysts were removed in one
operations; then it was decided that
the whole lung would have to come
out. The operation was speedily per-
formed, the patient sewed up again
with the great void within and nature
allowed to take its kindly course.
Taylor seems to have recovered his
strength and is In the best of spirits.

Salt Lake Tribune, Aug 2: Super
intendent Frank NJ. briggs of the State
school for the deaf, dumb and blind,
and County Fruit Tree Inspector Hick-
enloper have just completed q series
OF experiments on the school farm
that may prove Of the greatest import
ance to the farmers OF the State. The
experiments were conducted with the
idea of producing an effectual remedy
for the grasshopper pest, with which
the farm was afflicted. That the ex-
pertinent was q success is evidenced
by the fact that to-day Prof. briggs
and Inspector H~ickenloper went over
the fields and gathered up bushels Of
dead grasshoppers where the remedy
had been applied. Messrs. briggs and
Hickenloper are highly elated over
the result of the test, and to-day gave
the Tribune the formula, recommend
ing its use by all who r bothered by
the hoppers. The recipe is as follows /:
Take twenty pounds of bran and one
pound Of arsenic, and mix thoroughly.
Then take q bucket of water and a pint
of molasses, stir together with the
bran, and SOW along the edge of the
feld-lucerne, orchard or vine.

a discovery shaft upon the claim located to
the depth of at least ten feet from the low
est part Of the rim Of such shaft at the sur
face, or deeper if necessary, to show by
such work a lode deposit of mineral in
place. A cut or crosscut, or tunnel, which
cuts the lode at a depth of ten feet. or an
open cut along the ledge or lode equiva-
ent in size to shaft four feet by six feet by
ten feet deep, is equivalent to a discovery
shaft. The locator must define the boun.

each side line. When a post is used it
must be at least four inches square by four
feet six inches in length, set one foot in the
ground, with a mound of stone or earth
four feet in diameter by two feet in height
around the post. When it is practically

Hard work Cures Dyspepsia.

Sufferers from dyspepsia may find
relief in most any simple occupation in
which they perform a lot Of down.
right hard work in the open air. The
experience of John d. Rockefeller,
who spends several months every
year in hard farm work to relieve dys-
pepsia, is already famous. II is not
generally known that the work OF
grooms and in fact anything which
keeps one about horses is excellent for
consumptives or those suffering from
weak lungs. The odor Of horses is
excellent for these complaints. A
prominent New York clergyman
spends hours regularly in the stable
of one of his church members, where
he sits near the horses reading.
Farming is also excellent as an occu-
patton for consumptives.

Never buy q hat, says the artistic

yourself in a full-lengh mirror. There
are plenty Of hats which fit the head
and face, and If these could be de-
tached from the body would be charm
ing. But look in q full-length mirror
and see the difference. II the woman
is inclined to ~stoutness the hat may be
too small for her body /; she appears
unnaturslly broad and her head is a
funny little pinnacle, which reminds
one Of a pyramid. Or the thin woman
with the round face is suited by a large
hat, but the f~ull-length Of slender
figure shows her to be overbalanced
like an over-rigged ship under full
sail. There are not too many views
to take Of any article Of wearing ap-
parel before buying it.

they are rduced to rods about hve-

This ribbn is wound round a man

half of the future gun barrel. The
other half is made in the way, with
another ribbn, and the two parts are
welded together SO s~killfully that the
keenest .annot detect where they
were joined. If twist barrels are
wanted the ribbons are wound so that
the edges of he spirals merely touch
each other and in that position are
welded together. For Damascus bar
rels the spiras are wound so that they
overlap each other.
Next the bsrrel is smoothed on the
outside and tored inside to the proper
gauge, by mans of a lathe. If a var
rel is to be choke bored, the bore is
given a gradual enlargement of two or
three h~undreiths of an inch, from a
point near tle muzzle to the breech-
After boring the barrels are brazed
fast to the b-eech block. and, if for a
double-barrehd gun, the connecting
ribs are soldsred in position.
The barrels are colored by a mix
ture of acids. They are painted with
the acid several times. and after each
treatment are laid away several hours
and then secured with a steel brush.
Finally they are dipped in boiling wa
ter, secured rubbed and polished with
oil.
American gun makers buy most of
the gun barrels they need, getting
them in the rough from English and
Belgian factories and putting on the
finishing touches themselves.
The different heatings, rollings,
weddings and twistings that gun metal
gets while being made into barrels
give it wonderful purity and strength.
A gun practically never bursts unless
there is some obstruction, such as
snow, dirt and the like in the muzzle.
1t is near the muzzle, too, that a gun
usually breaks.
