WET NFS DAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1S00. C

Daring the past week the Legisla- t
ture has been hard at work and has '
disposed of a large number of bills in 1
one way or another, the most of which 1
were of a local nature and of no in (
terest to our readers. The Senate 1
ha9 passed the dispensary bill and it
is now being discussed in the House
It provides for the election of a Commissioner
and three members of 8 1
I j
b;ard of directors who are to be j
elected by a j ?iut meetiog of the
Genaral Assembly. There are maDj
o'her important changes in thepresent
bill in the management of thr
institution which makes the proposed
law a great improvement over the 1
^ j
old one, and it will doubtless meet
the "hearty approval of all who favoi
the dispensary sjstem of controlling 1
the drink evil.
The Senate has amended the Jim j
Crow Car law in an essential p&rtieu
lar, which makes the provisions of
the law more (ffective and no doubt
the amenment will prove to be wholesome
in making the complete and '
entire separation of the races while 1
riding on a railroad practicable.
The suddIv act has been carefully
prepared with an eye to rigid econo [
my, and it is now being dissected j
the political doctors.
The proposition to complete the
State House has met the unanimous ,
\
approval of the State.
The Legislature in all probability
will adjourn sine die on the 17th.

All news from South Africa is de.
I
nied the public by the Btiiish censor
and the public mind is in a state
of constant uneasiness over the un
certainties of the situation there. j
The whereabouts of General Bullei
known only to those who are entitled
to seats in the charmed circle of the
Star Chamber, it not beiDg knowD
whether he has met with another do
feat aDd he together with his entire
division annihilated by the Boer
sharpshooters, or if he is marching iD
~ i
triumph to the relief of Ladysmitb.
The suspense is said to be painful h
throughout the British kingdom.
His exact position is unknown, no
correspondence haviDg been had
with him for three days. It is thought
that Natal has been completely
wiped off the map. The outlook, is
dark for the success of the British
' arms, and it now seems that the
T> :n ?ii..:
j_>uer? win gam kueu cuui^icic iuucpendeDce
from the British crown.
The agreement to leave the settlement
of the Kentucky difficulty to ,
arbitration has been unfortunate to ,
the aspirations of would be Govert or |
Taylor. His friends and advisors |
have weakened and are now readv to i
*
turn the government over to the ,
management of the Democrats vsho
will doubtless assume control before (
this issue is given to the public. ,
"All's well that ends well."'
Every now and then the Philip |
pine Iosurgents bobs up serenely ,
to annoy and harass the American ,
troop3 on their onward march of con- ]
quest. The other day the Insurgents
under General Pana showed fight,
bat the battalion ucdtr command j
of Lipton soon knocked out the de- ,
sire an j they retreated without do- .
iog any damage. i

For more than four

The " Golden Medical Discoveryis a
medicine that will help you no matter I
-what ails you. This is true because it i
works directly at the roots of all disease
?the digestive system, the blood, the
nerves. Keep these in healthy condi- (
tion and you cannot be sick.
Many of the cures of the "Golden '
Medical Discover}' " seem almost mirac- (
ulous. Its effect is almost immediate.
It takes hold at once. It tones up the '
stomach, invigorates the liver, regulates <
the bowels. j
It gets right into the blood and carries
strength and comfort to every fiber of
the body. It nourishes and invigorates (
the weakened, irritated nerves and puts
the entire system in perfect tune. i
It is a safe medicine. Safe for adults j
?safe for children. It contains no sugar,
syrup, whisky, alcohol or dangerous opi- t
ates. Therefore, it does not create a g
craving for stimulants. It is distinctly
a temperance medicine. <
If a medicine dealer tries to substitute r
. some other preparation when you ask for
"Golden Medical Discovery"?lookout c
for him. He is either ignorant or dis- j *
honest and you can't trust him.

Wiiliam Guebci, Governor of K nucky,
was brutally and foully
iSSi9^inited on January 30,fc, by a
sowardly murderer, who calmly,
soolly and d.-libera'el) planned an in
sold blood executed it, while walking
hrough the capitol grounds on bi3
vay to the capitol buildiDg at 10
ninutes after 11 o'clock that mornug,
William Gotbel, the Democratic
sontestee for Gjvernor of Kentucky,
i?as shot down and very dangerously
wounded.
Harland Whittakrr, a farmer from
Butler county, Ihe heme county of
Governor Taylor, is now iu the j til
it Louisville charged with the crime.
There is no direct evidence ag&iDst
Wbittaker and he was placed under
arrest more because he was caught
uound the C3pitol building when
ihe shots were tired than for any
jther apparent reason. He denies
in the most positive mauner that he
had any connection with the shooting
or knew auythiog abjut it. He
was running toward the scene of the
3hooting and not away frcm it when
he was arrested.
Senator Goebel was wounded by a
rifle ball of small calibre, not over 33;
which struck him in the right side
just below the arm pit. The bill
passed through the back part of the
right lung, across the body in a
diagonal line, passing out below the
i.fi. -i 13? ui J . TL ? r i- _ i ^ _
leu Buouiuer 01111?. xue viiai o:gons
were Dot iDj jred with the ex
ception of the right lung.
Mr. Goebel was on his way to the
senate chamber in company with
CJol. Jack Cbinn and Warden Eph
Lillard of the Frankfort penitentiary.
Mr. Lillard was a few feet in advance
of Goebel and Chinn, who
were walking side by side, Goebel
being oit the right and CaiDn upon
the left.
From the outer edge of the capitol
grounds to the step of the capitol
building the distance is about 3JO
feet. Two thirds of this had been
passed and the men were walking
slowly when suddenly a shot raDg
out from a large three-story building
which stands 50 feet east of the
capitol building. This buildiDg ig
used for offices by nearly all the
leading c fflcials of the State, Gov
smor Taylor and the Secretary ol
State having rooms on the first floor
A _ IL ? -1. .1 1 J n -L _1
as buo fciiot was uearu vxoeuei gavt
i quick involuntary exclamation ol
pain and made an effort to draw hi:
own revolver. His strength was unequal
to the task, however, and he
9ank upon the pavement. With
great rapidity several more shots
vere fired, the bullets all striking
the brick sidewalk close to where
Goebel lay. None of them touched
him, however.
While William Goebel lay at the
point of death in his room as the rc
suit of an assassin's bullet the con
testing boards, which for two weeks
had been listepiog to the evidence in
his contest for the governor's chair,
declared him entitled to the seat.
The boards having in charge the
contests between Goebel and Taylor
for Governor, and Beckham and
Marshall for Lieutenant Governor,
met at 7 o'clock tonight in the citj
hall to consider the evidence submitted
to thenj, and prepare their
report to the legislature. A few
legal authorities were read to th< m
it the request of Senator Allen, wl c
wished linht shed udod a few doubt
O L
ful poiLit3. Then by a strict party
rote of 10 to 1, William Goebel was
ieclared to have been legally elected
Governor of Kentucky.
The Beckham-Marshall contest
was then voted upon and a strict
party vote of 9 to 2 settled this mater.
Several Democrats sought to get
together a quorum of both house',
bo'd a night sessioD, push through
he reports and declare Goebel the
Governor of Kentucky before morn
ng, to give him the honor before he
lied, but too many legislators were
iway. It is a certainty that Gjebel
will be made Governor tomorrow if
be is alive.

Never was there a more coin piijated
political situation than that
which tonight confronts the politicians
of Kentucky, and never wa=*
Viore nro r>f if coomiel cr
difficult to form an accurate guess ci
:he outcome.
The Republican party, which twc
Jays ago was vaioly striving to hold
ts members in their seats upon the
loor of the house and which seemed
ilmost powerless, is tonight iu the
raddle strong and vigorous and
;arrjing things With a high hand.
Che powerlessness of the Republican
jf two days ago i3 more than equalled
>y the apparent helplessness of the
Democrat of today. All day long
he Democracy has been groping
iround trying to find some way in
vhich it could seat in the gubemaorial
chair its lender, "William G,e>el,

TAYLOU's I'tlor i.AMATIOX.
G ,v. Taylor this afternoon issued
the following address to the people
To the People of K?nfuck;: The
most lamentable condition of sffiirs
ever experienced by our people has
rendered prompt actiou on the part
of the Cjief Executive of the State
ub-oiutely necessary.
A long se;ie3 of unprecedented
and unlawful acts practiced by those
in charge of the legislative interests
of the State has culminated iu the
most fear fat condition of the peiiod
to the S.ate. The dreadful tragedy
which occurred yesterday shocked
aud startled all, and can be no more
sincerely deplored by anyone than
myself.
The attempt to legislate under
such conditions of excitement and
threatened violence a3 now prevails
in Frankfort would be sheer madness,
and I have, therefore, in the
exercise of my constitutional powers,
adj >urned the legislature to coovene
in LondoD, Ky, on February G.
I have taken every precaution to
preserve the peace, that every citizen
may know that life and property are
safe and will be protected with every
resource of the commonwealth. I
trust that in this laudable eff;rt I
will have the support of every lawabiding
citizen of Kentucky,
i (S'gned) W. S. Taylor,
Governor of Kentucky.
(JOVEKXOU GOEBEUTAKHS THE OATII,
Frankfort, Ky , Jan. 31 ?William
Goebel was shortly before 9 o'clock
tonight sworn in as Gavernor of Kentucky
and J. C. W. Beckham a few
minutes later took the oath of Lieutenant
Governor. The oath was administerted
to both men by Cnief
( Justice Huzelrigg of the court of appeals.
The plan to make Goebel
(r.ivprnnr sat in mot.inn Pflrlv in
the afternoon. A statement was
prepared saying that the boards
which had heard the contests for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor
had decided in favor of Goebel and
Beckham and that the boards intend
ed to leport their findings to the
legislature, but that they had been
prevented from so doing by the
j action of Gov. Taylor in declaring
the legislature adjourned.
The statement then goes to say
^ that the members of the legislature
were driven from place to place by
the militia and threatened with arrest
whenever they attempted to
' hold a meetmg. It was declared the
helif f nf all the signers of the state
meDt that Goebel and Beckham
, were legally elected Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, and each man,
as he signed the paper, announced
that he voted for the adoption of the
m ?j )ritv report of the contest boards
which declared Gotbel and Beckham
to be the men rightfully entitled to
( the office.
Mr. Gotbel a9 soon as he was assured
that he was legally Governor
of Kentucky, took prompt action regarding
the military arm of the service.
Two orders were quickly prepared
for his signature, the firtt
which discharged Adjutant General
Collier from office and appointed
Gen. John B Cistleman of Louisville
as his successor. The second
was directed to the commanders tf
the militia now staticned in this
city, directing them to return to
their homes. Word was at once telegraphed
to Gen. Castleman of h s
appointment and he is expected in
the city tomorrow morning. There
is a possibility of trouble in the matter
of the control of the State troops.

and ex-Representative Thompson,

in that stste.
Governor Taylor had appealed to

matter by recognizing him a9

with skies lowering and so stormy
an aspect that no politician of either
party can predict which will carry i
the Kentucky ship of State. There
can no longer be any concealment of

conflict in arms.
LEGISLATURE MEETS.
The Democratic members of the
legislature today effected a regular
organizitiou for the first time since
the swearing in of Gov. Goebel. A
secret session of the members of
both houses wa9 held in one of lb?
parlors of the Capitol hotel, at which
the election of William Goebel, as
Governor and J. C. Beckham, as
Lieutenant Governor, was reaffirmed
first in separate sessions of tLe house
and senate, and afterward in a joint
session.
DEATH COMES TJ GOV. GOEDEL.
Frankfort, Feb. 3.?The ballet
fired by an unknown assassin last
Tuesday inoruiDg ended the life of
William G>ebel at (j.4) o'clock this
eveniog. Exactly one hour after the
death of Mr. G;ebel, J C. W. Beckham
was sworn in as Governor of
the State, the oath beiDg administered
by S J. Shackelford, Cierk of the
Court of Appeals.
Tne summary of the situation in
Kentucky is that Taylor, the usurper,
will have to bick down or there will
be civil war. Tne civil and military
authorities are facing each other
with grim determination. Taylor
laughs at Judge and Sherilf and re
fuses to recoguiz 3 a writ of habeas
corpus for a man held as a prisoner.
Frankfort, Feb. 4 ?Armed conflict
between the civil authorities of
Franklin county and the national
guard of the State of Kentucky his
been averted, and unless new causes
should come to the front there is
small likelihood that the political
situation will again become as threatening
as it ha3 been daring the lasi
3G hours.
Gov. Taylor this morning ordered
the release of Alonz) Walker for the
possession of whom Judge Moore
had declared that Sheriff Suter would
awear in a posse, and take possession
of the capitol grounds, if such an extreme
measure became necessary.
