Capt. Dan Lacy, died at his
home at Newport, Ky, Monday.
He was lately connected with the
Pittsburg- Cincinnati Packet Line
and was purser on the steamer Vir-
ginia for some time. He was WIDE
ly known in steamboat circles, hav-
ing nayigated the Ohio for some
time and his honesty, integrity and
close application made him not
only favorite with his employers
but his associates as we'll. Last
summer he resigned and took po-
sition with railroad company at
an increased salary and was doing
well when stricken by the ruthless
hand of death. His illness was
only of few days duration and
terminated in pneumonia. He was
a married man of family and will
be missed by legion of friends.

A late fad among women is the
reading of male character by obser-
vations at not too close range of the
mustaches of their masculine 40.
quaintances 1t is held that when
the mustache is ragged and, as if
were. flying hith and thither, there
is a lack of self control. When it
is straight and orderly the reverse
is the case. If there is tendency
to curl at the outer ends of the
mustache there is a tendency to
ambition, vanity and display.
When the curl turns upward there
is geniality. Where the inclina-
ton is downward there is a more Sc.
date turn of mind, not unaccom-
panied with gloon.

A Valuable Log.

The largest walnut log ever
taken out of the Eastern Ken
lucky mountain forests has just
been taken from Cross Fork of
Kentucky river, west of Mayking,
overland across the mountains to
jackson, Breathitt county, to the
Cincinnati markets. The log was
nearly six feet in diameter and
sixteen feet long, and it required
eight large yoke of oxen to "snake
it over the mountains. 1t was
bought for 81, 900 from Joe Hale.
Members of the Kentucky Worlds
Fair Association gave Mr.. Hale a
bid on the tree with the intention
of placing it on exhibition at st.
Louis in 1904, but their bid of
$1,000 was day too late.-Cat-

The Assasslnatlon Of Gov. Goe-

bel.
Henry E Youtsy, now serving
life sentence for implication in
the foul murder of Gov. Goebel,
at Frankfort. Ky. about three
years ago. was witness for the
State in the second trial of Jim
Howard. now pending in that city.
Youtsy named Howard as the man
who did the shooting.-He test.
fed that he saw Howard for the
first time few minutes before the
shooting. Howard had letter
sent him several days before by
the witness, at Governor Taylor's
dictation. Youtsy says he took
Howard into the office of Caleb
Powers. then Secretary of State,
which had been especially ar
ranged for the shooting. He
Showed the Marlin rifle, the bull
let's and the window from which
the shooting was to be done. He
says Howard asked what he was to
get for doing the shooting.
what do you want for ftp"
Youtsy says he asked, and that
Howard said he wanted a pardon
for killing George Baker.
81 told him he could have that
end more. too" said Youtsy.
About this time," said the wit
ness, "Goebel came in the gate,
and 1 pointed him out to Howard
and then ran from the room. AS 1
disappeared down the steps to the
basement 1 heard the crack of
Towards rifle"
YOutsy said that after the shoot.
ing he passed through the State
House basement and a few min
utes later came back into the ex-
ecutive building from the east side
entrance.
81 stayed in the office of Assist
ant Secretary of State Matthews. 50
he said, for few moments, aud
saw Matthews break open Caleb
Powers Office and find the guns
that had been left in there"
Youtsy said at the time of the
shooting he was private secretary
to Auditor Sweeney, but that
while his political status was not
definitely fixed, it was understood
that he was to have a good place
under Taylor. Governor Taylor"
said Youtsy, directed everything
we did. We regarded him as
our leader, and he was morally re-
sponsible for all we did. We
knew we had the Governor and the
pardoning power behind US, and
we were not afraid of punishment
for killing Goebel."
Youtsy, on cross-examination,
said that after he was arrested and
later sent to the penitentiary, he
still had hope of gaining his liber-
ty. He thought Yerkes would be
elected Governor and would par
don him.-Yerkes was defeated,
however, and about year ago he
decided to talk, and did tell his
story to Prison Physician Tobiu.
Youtsy said further that he had
an additional incentive to tell the
story, as Taylor. Powers and others
had used him as a cat's-paw and
scape-goat and then deserted him
when he got into trouble.
Howard denies that he was in
the State House that day, and
Gov. Taylor, who is still fugitive
from Kentucky, of course, denies
Youtsy's statements.
