THE GoEBEL ASSASSINATION.
And the Poem In Hearst's Paper Re.
ferred to by Root.
Bierce's Bullet Poem.

The bullet that pierced Goebel's breast
Cannot be found in all the west.
Good reason; 1t Is speeding here
To stretch Mckinley on his bier.
Washington Times: When William
Goebel, governor of Kentucky, was as
sassinated, the bullet that killed him
could never be found The most mi
mute search failed to locate the pellet
of lead. And thereby hangs Il most
remarkable story that has just been
made public
At the time of the Goebel assasina.
ton Ambrose Bierce was writing for
the Hearst papers. He was greatly
wrought up, first over the fact of that
assassination, and second, over the
fact that there was little apparent
chance that the conspiracy would be
sifted and the guilty men brought TO
justice.
That assassination occurred twenty
months before the murder of President
Mckinley. Writing of the Goebel kill
ing one day, Major Bierce produced
eCy of what might be expected If the
crime of political assassination was to
be permitted to go unpublished.
The lines were written, as Major
Bierce now explains. not with the
thought of instigating assassination
but for the purpose of reprobating as
sassination; to suggest what might be
expected if such crimes were to go I'M
punished.
Twenty months later William Nc
Kinley was assassinated. Major
Bierce had been his friend He had
never even been a democrat, he de
clares. He was not only friendly to
Mckinley, but to his administration
But after Mckinley was killed, enc
mics of William II. Hearst raked up
those four lines, and, taking them away
from their context and without any ex-
PLANTATION, presented them as the
Harst instigation to the murder of a
president.
That story was widely circulated and
probably cost Hearst immensely in
money, as it certainly forced him to
pay heavy price in personal prestige.
They were used against him in the
mayoralty campaign, and Secretary
Root used them as part of his indict-
ment against Hearst in the Utica
speech. Yet, in fact, they were writ
ten, according to Major Bierce-and
the explanation is borne out by the
publications of current dates-for the
reprobation of anarchy.
Mr. Hearst took the medicine like a
man. Major Bierce is still in his en-
ploy and the incident, tremendously
significant as have been it's conse-
quences to him, has never even been
referred to by him

Have You Cough? If So, This Will

several winters past my wife has been

greeable cough, which invariably ex-
tended over a period of several weeks
and caused her many sleepless nights.
Various remedies were tried each year,
but with no beneficial results. In No
vember last, the cough again put in an
appearance, and my wife, acting on
the suggestion of friend, purchased
a. bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Head Consul Talbot Made Address of
the Day-The Welcome.

The Auditorium was packed with
visitors after the parade, for the after
noon exercises. Hon. John r. Hays
of this city delivered an address of
welcome to the Woodmen in behalf of
the city, the Commercial club, the bust
ness men, and all of the industries
here. He said that it was usual on
such occasions to hand large key to
the visitors, but the key had been
thrown away and the wall of the city
torn down, so that the whole town
might be owned by the Woodmen.
The address was one of the type
that have made Mr.. Hays famous as a
delightful speaker.
The address was responded to by
Supreme Organizer Ralph T.. Johnson
of Lincoln, who told of former trials
in northern Nebraska. He said that
at Pierce he made a Fourth of July ad-
dress ten years ago, when he was
dubbed the "beardless boy" by the
banker who introduced him. And he
hasn't worn a beard since. He also
said that they played him mean trick
was filled and he would have to sleep
in an empty church parsonage. He
went to bed only to be awakened later
and told that it was joke. So he felt
at home in this section.
Head Consul A. r. Talbot of Lincoln
followed with an address of some
length in which he spoke of the bene-
fits of fraternal protection. He de-
clared that he feels at home in Nor.
folk, as in other Nebraska cities, be-
cause when he gets back to Nebraska
from other parts of the nation he feels
that this is the best of them all.
He declared that progress Of civili-
cation has been marked with the
growth of fraternal organizations; that
today the plain people have come to a
great power; that cooperation, not

Why Colds Are DANGEROUS.

You often hear the expression "be.

you: Every cold weakens the lungs,
lowers the vitality and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. People
who contract pneumonia first take
cold. The longer cold hangs on, the
greater the danger, especially from the

\ class of more than 400 candidates
was initiated into the ranks of the
Modern Woodmen at the great rally
held in the Auditorium Thursday
night, probably the largest class ever
initiated into any fraternal orgin2a.
ton in any interior town Of the state.
The work was exemplifed by the lodge
officers and drill teams of Madison
and Wisner camps.
The prizes which had been offered
by the Commercial club, $50 for the
largest attendance from any one camp
and 500 for the largest number Of can
didates presented by any camp, were
of Madison. That camp had POI per-
sons in the parade and had written
112 applications for this meeting and
actually had 80 candidates present.
The Tilden lodge was close second.
When Deputy Kestor called the
Auditorium was packed to the doors
and it was estimated that there were
as many other visitors out in town.
Head Consul A. II. Talbot delivered a
short address, which was followed by
Supreme Organizer Ralph e. Johnson,
who spoke in behalf of the new build
ing which the Woodmen have built on
the state fair grounds at Lincoln. He
asked that each member contribute
twenty-five cents for the payment on
this building. This building was de-
clared to be the best fraternal build
ing on the state fair grounds.
The Madison drill team then eXem-
plified the work on a candidate. This
work was very superior.
After this Burt Mapes of Norfolk
made a presentation to Madison camp
of the two cash prizes for the largest
attendance and largest class, W. f..
Reed of that city responding in fitting
words.
After this the meeting was adj
journed for a short time, during which
the members patronized the ladies who
were serving meals for the library
fund, in the Marquardt hall, and also
the Presbyterian ladies in the Pacific
block.
The Woman's club netted about 5000
from meals, of which it is thought
$3.50 will be profit. They wish to thank

er of the Nebraska Telephone com
pany, e. B. Kaufman, r. e. THEM,

the work.
Returning to the Auditorium, the
Wisner camp officers and team also
eXemplified the work on a candidate,
doing it in a manner that met the
hearty approval of the head officers
and others present.
The work continued until o'clock
a. m. Many of the visitors then re-
turned on special trains, others took
morning trains for home and many
oversight. Some remained for the ban
quet which will be held tonight.
1t was estimated that there were
/ 900 people in the Auditorium and an
other crowd of between 500 and 1000
visitors out in town, making between
/ 800 and 1000 visitors during the day,
which nearly approached the estimate
given in advance by Deputy James.
