in BLOOMINGTON, MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 5 1900. HOW GOEBEL DIED Touching Scenes Cluster Round the Final Hours of the Kentuckian. BROTHER CAME TOO LATE His Rival for the Governorship Sent Brief Message of Regret -Beckham Sworn In. Frankfort, Feb. Goebel, governor of Kentucky as far as the acts of the Democratic members of the legislature could make him, died last evening at 6:41 o'clock.

Though his splendid 1 fight for life during the four days that intervened since the assassin's ball gave him his mortal wound, failed, his death does not put an end to his equally tenacious fight for his party's victory. He leaves behind him the lieutenant-governor, according to Democratic claims, J. C. W. Beckham, admittedly heir to all the rights and honors of the dead chief.

The death of Mr. Goebel came at the end 'of a day of steady failing. Since morning there had been for him no hope, and it was known that he could not survive till another day. Across the continent from his home in Arizona Justus Goebel, brother of the dyIng man, was flying. His trains had been delayed, and he was later than he had expected to be, but still he hoped to reach Frankfort in time to grasp once more the hand of his brother, perhaps to hear a word from his lips before his death.

Bulletins were sent to him on the train, and his hope was kept up. But he did not reach Frankfort until too late. It was 6:20 o'clock when Justus Goebel, hastily driven, reached the hotel. He at once to the death room, but what passed there between him and the other brother and the sister, Arthur Goebel and Mrs. Brannaker, was veiled to the world outside.

They had previously requested Dr. Hume to leave them alone with the dying man, and their privacy was undisturbed. FIRST SIGN OF THE END. It was shortly after 10 o'clock when Goebel had grown suddenly worse, that Drs. McCormack and Hume were hastily summoned, hypodermic irjections of whisky and strychnine, and afterwards of morphine, were given him.At.

Mr. Goebel's request Chaplain L. G. Wallace, of the Kentucky penitentiary, an intimate friend, was sent for, and when the latter came the two had a short conversation. "Lew." said Mr.

Goebel, wish to nounce to the world that I do not hold myself in open violence to the word of God." The hypodermic injections afforded some temporary relief. But the sufferer for the first time in his long, weary struggle for life had apparently lost his indomitable courage. said he feebly, to Dr. McCorrack, who stood the bedside, afraid now that I'm not going to get over this." Dr. McCormack endeavored to cheer the fast -failing men, bat the latter soon relapsed into a condition of semi-consciouspess.

About 1 o'clock be aroused himself again, and, calling Dr. McCormack to his side, said: am I going to get well? I want to know the truth, for I have several things to attend to." TELLS GOEBEL HE MUST DIE. "Mr. Goebel you have but a few hours to replied Dr. McCormack.

Mr. Goebel was silent for a moment, then calling his brother, Arthur Goebel, to his side, he asked that the physicians and nurses retire. Then for twenty minctes the dying man was left with his brother and sister, Mrs. Brannacker. Soon after this he again fell into stupor, and at 2 o'clock his condition was considered so alarming that as a last resort oxygen was given in an endeavor to keep the dying man alive if possible until the arrival of his brother, Justus Gcebel, from the west, who was due shortly after 6 o'clock.

The pulse of the patient had in the meantime run up to 140 and his temperature to 103, white his breathing Lecame rapid and tore labored. This treatment resulted in an improvevent, but the tally was so slight and alow that to the weary watchers at the bedaide it was apparent that the end was not far off, and the Rev. Dr. Tallaferro, of the Metkodist church of Frankfort, was sent for. He came at once.

Softly entering the death chamber, Dr. Taliaferro crossed over to where Mr. Goebel lay gasping for breath, and, kneeling at the side of the bed, prayed earnestly. With tears streaming down their faces, Mrs. Braunacker and Arthur Goebel knelt at the bedside also.

Then Dr. Tallaferro arose and, opening his Bible, read a few selected verses from the Eplatle to St. James. As the words of the apostle were read by the divine, the dying and parently unconscious man stirred slightly. Quickly leaning over his brother, Arthur Goebel, said Dr.

Taliaferro La here." THE FINAL SCENE. No response came from the dying man, but as Arthur Goebel leaned over him. looking anxiously for some sign of nition. a look of intelligence came into the eyes. Shortly after this Dr.

Tallaferro left the room, and, descending the stairs, tered the reception room, where, the request of several women, wives of latore, be held brief services. Then the minister again went to Mr. Goebel's bed. side and about five minutes afterward took hie departure, Shortly after o'clock the dying taan was again given oxygen and again a slight rally resulted. but it was only temporary, His tion gradually grew more laborious and POSe to ta, while his pulse dropped to 120.

At 6:10 p. m. Dr. Hume left the dying man's bedelde and reported to the thronEs of anxious watchers in the cotridore of the hotel that death was a ter of but a few time, The brother and elster were left entirely alone with their brother, He could give no sign of further recognition, and yet he was not absolutely unconscious, As they watched the pulsatione became slower and slower, gradually but steadily growing weaker, and with alight quiver of the erelide, one breath deeper than the rest, pause, gasp, and life Nickered out.

His father was William N. Beckham, and his mother Julia T. Wickliffe, daughter of Gov. A. Wickliff, former chief executive of this state.

His earliest education was received in a private school in Bardstown. In the legislative session of 1881 and 1882 he acted as a page in the house of representatives. In January, 1884. he entered Central Union college, Richmond, graduating in 1886. Immediately after leaving college be began the study of law, and while pursuing his work in this direction acted as principal of the Bardstown high school for three years.

In 1893 he began the practice of law on his own account in Bardstown. He was elected a member of the Kentucky house of representatives in 1893. He deelined to be a candidate at the next term, but the representative who succeeded him having dropped out, Mr. Beckham accepted the position and served the unexpired term. He WaS re-elected in 1897, and made speaker of the house in 1898, in 1899 he was nominated for lieutenant governor on the same ticket with William Goebel.

ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. To conduce the public order and perfect restraint on the part of all Goebel's friends, the following address to the people of state was issued: "To the People of Kentucky--It is with the most profound sorrow that we announce the death of Gov. William Goebel. In his last moments he counseled his friends to keep cool and bow to the law in all things. We his friends and advisors, beg of the people of Kentucky, in this hour of affliction to carefully abstain from any net of violence, or any resort to mob law.

He would wish, if he were alive, that there should be absolutely no stain left on his memory by any imprudent act of any one who were his friends. The law is supreme, and must in time be re-established, and all the wrongs he and his party have suffered will find their proper redress. "Jo. C. Blackburn, Urey Woodson, J.

Heavy sheep sold 15e per hundred higher, a few thousand being taken for export. However, this branch of the trade is not so good as was pected a few weeks ago. Prices for everything are extremely high. and seemed to be somewhat strained, and with largr receipts lower prices may surely be looked for. However, with the strong demand for wool and continued light toceipts, the market throughout the season, we believe, will continue strong, until elipped sheep and iambs make their appearance.

Very few eastern lante have been marketed this week, and th few that were offered brought top prices. Feeders continue scarce and very high. Demand and prices held firm today. Receipts were heavier than usual, but had no effect on the market. AT KANSAS CITY.
