JUSTUS GOEBEL
Speaks At dwelling of Monument
of VIM. GOebel and Burial
of Arthur.

In memory OIL w III. UOeDel ana Cne
burial of Arthur Goebel took place
at the Frankfort cemetery Thurs
day, February 3, on the tenth an
niversary of the death of VIM.
Goebel. Owing to very inclement
weather which prevailed at Frank
fort, Immediately after the unveil-
ing and burial the assembly went
to the opera house, where the ora
tions were delivered. The speak
we're: Ex-Gov. j. G. w. Beckham
was master of ceremonies. He
spoke first, followed by ex-Gov.
Jas. B. McCreary. Both were
highly eulogistic. They were fol-
lowed by Justus Goebel, brother
of the deceased.
JUsTUs GOEBEL's SPEECH.
Friends, in view of what has
transpired in our midst since |
last stood face to face with you
ten years ago, l would be migrate
full and disloyal 70 you, the living,
and to my brothers, dead, if | did
not, in spite of impaired health,
on this occasion marshal my re-
manning strength and raise my
weakened voice to protest.
Here he gave extract from a
speech made when VIM. Goebel
was buried, as follows:
AS the mortal remains of the
kindest, gentlest and most loving of
sons and brothers are consigned to
their resting place, 1 want to say
a last word to you. Your friend,
my brother, lies dead before you,
murdered for his devotion to the
cause of the people. Should not
Kentucky now and here swear by
his blood that her sons will see
justice done to those concerned in
his foul taking off, If you fail in
this your laws are dead letters.
IF he could speak he would
say now, as oft before, Let the law
take its course
Twill designing men of high
station be permitted to use igno-
rant outlaws to furnish their am
billions, and when that ambition is
disappointed turn red-handed muir
,derers loose under the very roof
of the executive building?
GUILTY IN HIGH PLACES.
''Shall the guilty in high places
be uncovered9 Shall the honor
of the State be restored? Or shall
his life blood, split on your Capt.
tol Square, be dried up by the
sun, washed away by the rains
and life sacrifice be forcotten?"
Measured by the highest stand
ard of men, the grandest tribute
possible to be paid him to whom
you have been so loyal, is to fight
for the principles for which he lay
down his life as he fought for
them. To you, sons of Kentucky,
submit these questions.
Brother, farewell until we
meet in the better world where
outlaws cannot be hired, where
crime is unknown, where rest
comes.
Mother, brother, you have
gone before, we shall join you.
Resuming the speech of the Bird |
he said
You know what has come to
pass since then. 1ou know, IN |
three trials of Caleb Powers, three
of James B. Howard, and one of
Henry f. Youtsey, "a citizens who
composed those seven juries said
by their verdict, guilty that
there was conspiracy and that the
guilty in high places had been I'M
covered
Those verdicts, undisturbed,
would have meant the restoration
of the honor of our State.
In six opinions of the Court of
Appeals of Kentucky in these
cases, never once has it been
limited that there was NO evience

KNITTING AND ANCIENT MELODIES.
In the good old days mother was
not able to play as skillful a game
of progressive euchre or bridge
whist as the up-to-date woman, but
she was powerful gifted in the
sewing and knitting line. She
may not nave been able to paw

make Paderewski sit up and take
notice, or play the violin almost as
well as one of the masters, but she
could produce melodies with the
frying pan and the skillet in a
manner that reached the hearts of
every man through the alimentary
canal.
WENT To SCHOOL TO LEARN.
In the good old days children
went to school to learn and not to
recite lessons they had been taught
at home. The grim old school
master looked as terrible as an
army with banners;" his word was
law and theee was no interference
with his methods of discipline by
cranky parents or officious trus-
tees. He was noted for his ability
to discipline, and knowledge was
to be gotten mainly by absorption.
OLD FIELD SCHOOL EXHIBITION.
The old field school exhibition"
was the parade ground of the adj
vance guard of civilization; it was
the climax of great events in the
Olden times, and vast assemblies
were swayed by the eloquence of
the budding, sOckless statesmen.
1t was at the old field school 'ex-
hibitiOn" that the Goddess of Lib
erty always received a broken nose,
and the poetic muse a black eye; it
was at the old field school "exhi-
bition' that Greece and Rome rose
and fell, in seas of gore, about
every fifteen minutes of the day.
NO ARSON AND MURDER.
In the good old days a mans
neighbors never gathered in large
numbers to burn his property and
cruelty beat or murder him. but
they gathered for the purpose of
assisting in house raisings, loo
rollingS and corn stockings, and
our mothers had apple Feelings
and outings; when the quilt was
flushed cat was thrown&into the
center and whichever maiden it es-
capped by was sure to get married
that year.

One more attempt at Jail breaking
is chargeable against J. T. Lewis, un-
der conviction and now in the county
Jail for grand larceny. Yesterday
morning officers nipped in the bud a
well-studied plan to get out OF a cell,
using electricity as a means of cut
ting the bars surrounding and confin-
ing them. There were four men in
the large cell at the time, but the
plan for making the getaway is sup
posed to have been originated by
Lewis himself. When the officers in
vestigated, two of the bars had been
cut deeply after having been heated
by the electric connection.
In some manner two pieces of cop
per wire were obtained from some
one. This was attached to an incan
descent light wire and carried into

wrapped about the wire and this al
lowed them to handle it without much
danger. The steel bar was heated
with the wire, the officers explained
yesterday, and while in such red heal
a knife was used industriously. Two
bars alone were found to have beer
cut into deeply, but had they beer
