Got. Taylor Planned Murder.
Henry Youfcsey, one of the principals
in the Goebel murder, testified
that after the shooting of Goebel he
passed through the State house
basement and a few minutes he came
back into the executive bilding from
? ' i - e L
tne ease Side oi Hie euirauue.
UI staid in the office of the Assistant
Secretary of State Matthews,"
said he, "and saw Matthews break
open Caleb Powers^ desk and find
the guns that had been left in there."
Youtsey said that at the time of
the shooting he was private Secretary
of Auditor Sweeny, but that
while his political status wa9 notdefi,
nitely fixed, it was understood that
he was to have a place under Taylor.
"Governor Taylor," said Ycutsey,
"decided everything we did, We regarded
him as t)ur leader, and he
was morally responsible for all we
- ^ .1
did. We knew we naa trie vxovernor
and the pardoning power behind us,
and we were not afraid of punishment
for killing Goebel."
During Youteey's testimony Howard
sat with his eyes riyited on the
witness. His wife sat beside him.
Howard did not change his expression.
Youtsey on cross examination
said that after he was arrested and
later sent to the penitentiary he still
had hope of getting his liberty. He
thought Yerkes would be elected
Governor and would pardon him. He
was defeated, however, and about a
year 8go he dicided to talk and did
tell his story to Prison Physician Tobin.
Youtsey said farther that he had
an additional incentive to tell his
story as Taylor, Powers and others

scapegoat and then deserted him
when he got into trouble.
A Prominent Minister
Recommends Chamberlain's Colic Choiera
and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Rev. Francis J. Davidson, pastor
of the St Matthew's Baptist church
and President of the Third District
Baptist Association, 2731 Second St,
New Orleans, writes as follows. "I
have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy for cramps
and pains in the stomach and found
it excellent. It is in fact the best
cramp and cholic remedy I have ever
used. Also several of my parishioners
have used it with equally satisfactory
results." For sale by the Kaufm?n

Sill, Boss of New York.
Albany, N. Y., April 23?If the
New York delegation to the next
Democratic national convention dees
not turn up solid for David B. Hill
it will be because he does Dot want
ths nomination in that way. If Hill
wants the New York delegation he
can have in for the asking. Those
who are inclined to treat David B.
Hill as a brokendown politician do
not know the man and are ignorant
of the political situation.
He is more of a factor than ever
before, bis personal machine is simply
impregnable, and there has been
no time in the last dozen years when
his hold on the party has been more
i~i.~ n?,\

deposed , defeated and discredited.
Cleveland is in New Jersey, retired
from active politics, a potential tradition,
bat inconsiderable as a political
possibility. Ex-Senator Murphy,
Hill's treacherous enemy, is under
the political sod. Tammany is
under still another Murphy, friendly
to Hill's upstart machine. The Republican
majority is dwindled to the
danger line.
HILL A CONTROLLING FACTOR.
And so, at 90 years of age, strong,
self-reliant, dominant, David B. Hill
Annlvnllinn I
JUKUD UilUOCtl KUC wumvtiitig luvwi
in Democratic politics in the greatest
state of the Union.
Hill's friends are in the saddle, but
are acting with extraordinary caution
and are doing nothing to stir up antagonism.
Not a word is spoken to
throw cold water on the Parker |
boom. Why should there be? Park- ,
er is a Hill man through and through. |
He was first appointed judge by <
Hill, and the two men have been j
good friends ever since. Parker |
managed one of Hill's successful ]
campaigns for tbe governorship, and
was rewarded with the best judicial
appointment the governor had in
stock. It' Hill's mind is made up to
run for the Democratic presidential
nomination Parker will not oppose
him. If Hill sees he can't get the
nomination, or if for any other reason
he decides not to make the race,
hi3 strength and solid delegation
from New York will go to Parker.
DEMOCRATS CLAIM STATE FOR 1904.
Every Democratic leader of any
consequence in the state believes
New York is certain to go Democratic
of fUo Pi-ooi^cnfiol clortfinn
ail tuc UUAU JL lUOlUVUwiUl VAWVVAVf I
They have figures at hand to backup
their belief. McKinley's plurality of
268,469 in 1896 dropped to 143,606
in 1900, although the candidates and
the issues were the same. Roosevelt's
plurality of 17,786 in 1898 was
small enough in all reason, but it
was whittled down to 8,803 for Odell
in 1902, with anything but a strong
democratic candidate. La9t fall the
eociel Democrats vote was 39,286,
and the Prohibitionists polled 20,490,
so these scattering elements amount
nearly to seven times Odell's plurality.
The combined Democratic, Socialist
and Prohibition vote shows a
clear majority of 50,973 over the
total Republican vote.
Until the campaign of last year
the democrats had been beaten
steadily since 1892, with the single
exception of the election in 1897,
when Jfarher was elected to his
present place on the bench of the
court of appeals by 60,8S9 majority.
That, however, was not really a political
election. What beat Coler last
year was the indifference in democratic
ranks, due to the habit of
defeat.
WatchiDg the great tidal wave for
McKinley in 1836 recede until Odel
found himself in a minority of 50.000
it is no wonder David Bennett Hill
sit8 grimly in his office on Albany's
Broadway and reaches out to grasp
the fruits of victory he sees ripening
before his eyes. Hill is as forceful
today as he was ten years ago. His
sixty years have passed lightly over
him. To a man who neither drinks
nor smokes, whose personal habits
Qra nnr fr? fho nninf nf onoforiftr
sixty years are as nothing. To
David B. Hill three scorce years
seem to have brought merely intricate
experience.
Those who remember the courageous
^ght Hill made at Chicago in
1896, and who later saw him when
he stood up before the howling mob
and converted it into friends at Kansas
City and refused the second place
on the ticket; will be at least interested
to learn that he has lost none
of his splendid vitality, none of that
impassive political bravery which
won for him the respect of the wildest
populistic cranks at Chicago, and
which subsequently resulted in the
remarkable demonstration at Kansas
City.

Dreadful Attack of Whooping
Cough.
Mrs. Ellen Harilson, of 300 Park
Ave., Kansas City, Mo., writes as
follows: "Our two children had a
severe attack of whooping cough,
one of them in the paroxysm of
coughing would often faint and bleed
at the nose. We tried everything
we heard of without getting relief.
We then called in our family doctor
who prescribed Foley's Honey and
Tar. With the very first dose they
began to improve and we feel that it
has saved their lives." Refuse substitutes.

Lemon for the Toilet.
On every washstand a lemon or
two should be kept. Nothing is better
for the toilet than the juice of
this fruit. It is refreshing to the
taste, and it is cleadsing to the skin.
A few drops squeezed into the water
with which the teeth are cleansed
not only will aid in keeping the tartar
away from them, but it will also
make the breath sweet. Lemon
juice rubbed on the face aids in
keeping the skin soft and fresh. If
persistently used, it will remove
freckles, and when applied to the
hands it will whiten them. An at.
cellenfc thing for the nails is to cut a
lemon in half and dig the fingers
vigorously into the pulp. This is a
far better way of removing stains
than by too hard sorubbing with a
brueh, which injures the nails.
Not Wanted There.
A movement is on foot to urge upon
the Dominian government the placing
of a duty on cream separators
About 8500,000 worth of cream separators
or their main parts was imported
into Canada last year. A duty
of say 30 per cent, would mean that
the farmers and dairymen of Canada
would pay a tax of 8150,000 a year,
on the separators they buy. Price*
in Canada would go up just the
amount of the duty.

A BAU
One of the Baddest tragedies that
ever occurred in Kershaw county
took place Monday of last week. It
is said, that evening at the home of
Mr. C. Tiller, near Camden, Leila,
one of his twin daughters, aged 14
years, it is alleged, had an altercation
with her brother for which their
father chastised them both. The
girl took the punishment so to heart
that she procured some strychnine
and ended her life.
The BobbedG-rave.
A startling incident is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows:
"I was in an awful condition.
My skin wa9 almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain continually
in back and sides, no appetite,
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Then
I was advised to use Electric Bitters;
to my great joy, the first bottle made
a decided improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they robbed
the grave of another victim."
No one should fail to try them. Only
