The date of the unveiling depends on when Arthur Goebel returns from Europe, where he has gone Tor his health. MT.

 Elaborate Exercises.
 Some member of the Goebel family, probably one of Justice Goebel's chil- dren, will unveil the statue, although this has not been discussed by the commit tee. It probably will be left to the brothers of William Goebel. The exer- cises in connection with the unveiling will be elaborate and, impressive, but nothing has been determined as to who will deliver the addresses.

 Senator McCreary Talks.
 Senator McCreary, who was here to- day to attend meeting of the Goebei monument commission is enthusiastic about the ticket named by the demo- crats at Denver, and says that he be- 1ieves they are certain to be elected. He regards the ticket as the strongest that could have been named, and the plat form as the most satisfactory which the democrats have had for the last 20 years. Senator McCreary said that his voice would be heard on the stump this fall, as usual, as he had not missed a campaign since he entered politics. He will make a number of speeches during the campaign and will enter into dis cusson of what he says are the three important questions of the day-the tar if, injunction, and railroad rate legisla-
