Yes- terday one of his political intimates | received a letter from the democratic | gominee for Governor. Mr. Gcoabel dosed his letter as follows: “Before this campaign is over | there is going to bea verification of | Jim Jewell’s saying that ‘pelitics is | Those who know Mr. Goebel say! that he is making no empty threats; | that he means what he writes, and | that if he starts out to prove that politics is b ” he will prove it. William Goebel is said to belong to the “gum ehoe” school of politics. He moves in ways mysterious to arry out the secret purpose of his mind. It is said of him that he can put one pair of wooden shoes and | make less noise in walking over a tin roof than a cat ona velyet carpet He is also said to be a stranger to fear; to be as cool asa cake of ice when inthe midst of danger or ex- citement. WILLING TO BET ON GOEBEL He is called the boldest aud most wudacious of any Kentucky politi- cian, and he bas a devoted following. These men—in Louisville, Lexing- ton, Frankfort, Versailles—regard the revolt of the “Brownies,” as they call the anti Goebelites, as an evi- dence of Mr. Goebel’s strength. They are backing with money their judgment of his ability to win the dection. They declare he will carry the state by 25,000, and when they tay that they produce.a roll of bills and offer to cover all bets. The Goebel men will attack ex Governor John Young Brown the first thing. They are working up “gyidence” which they say will prove conclusively that John Young Brown endeavored te secure the guberna- torial nomination from the very convention which he has publicly branded as spurious and fraudulent. They will also charge the leader of the anti-Goebelites with having designs on the seat in the United States senate coveted by ex Senator Blackburn. They allege that ex- Governor Brown was led to accept the leadership of the revolt by re- members of the legislature for U.S. wenator. It was figured out, so say the Goebel men, that with the re- publican votes and the votes of disaffected democrats in the legisla- Fture ex Governor Brown could be ‘Jalected to succeed Senator Lindsay. Joonclusive evidence that this deal Was made by Basil Duke, who is Tegarded as the political manager of Fihe Louisville and Nashville railroad.

The war in the Philippines is the gravest problem Senator Hanna and the managers of the second term syndicate have to contend with. From such staunen party men as Senator Burrows of Michigan, and Senator Nelson of Minnesota comes the warning that the war io the islands must be brought toa close.

Do not say, “I can’t eat.” Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla and say, “I am hungry all the time, and food never hurts me.” Never say to your friends that you are as tired in the morning as at night. If they happen to be sharp they will tell you Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures that tired feeling. Do not say, “My face is full of pimples” You are quite likely to be told by some one, “There’s no need of that for Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures pimples.” It is improper and unnecessary to say, “My health is poor and my blood is bad.” Hood's Sarsaparilla will give you, good blood, and good health will follow as a natural conse- quence. Refused His Picture. Ft. Scott Monitor, “I’m not looking for notoriety God knows I've got too much now,” were the words spoken by Frank James, the ex-bandit, yesterday, wher he refused to stand and allow his picture to be taken for publica- tion. The request was made by 8S. E. Dunham, who represents The Horseman, a sporting paper. Mr. James at first stated that he had his picture copyrighted for the express purpose of not having them used by every one. When Mr. Dunham per- sisted in his request and started to argue that aman could not copy- right his pictures Mr. James became slightly angry and uttered the words quoted as he walked away- McKinley’s war in the Philippines is getting to be a very expensive piece of business. in a short time if the war is not quieted the expense / will reach a million dollars a day. ee PERCIVAL, MISSOURI. the cheapest money to loan Call on us. | menenenennnennnenennnnmnnt these and other leaders, jeopardize party chances in next year’s cam- paign, and make of doubtful value the proposed legislation for placing the currency of the United States upon a single gold standard.

Sedalia, Mo, Aug. 6 —There are two cases ef smallpox quarantined at the M.K.& T railway hospital. They were received a week ago from the Indian Territory, before the nature of the disease was known. They were promptly placed in an isolated ward and are convalescing. There are also two suspected cases in Lincolnville, and if the dis- ease develops they will be sent to the pest house.

From the wharf a or gang plank ferty feet long and ten feet wide leads up to the boat. The slip hinged at the inner end, was raised or lowered to suit the tide. Thé wharf extends on both sides flush with the end of the wooden gang plank. Five timbers 4x12 inches, set ver- tically ran the length of the plank, and these were crossed by two inch planking. It is said that there was no support for the plank between the hinges and the outer end. When the excursion train from Bangor arrived there was a rush for the steamer Sappho.

A few clung to the sides of the inclined plank but at least 156 were struggling in the water. The piling of the wherf partially penned them in on three sides, and the boat lying at the wharf closed the outer end of the opening. After the first moment of stupefaction the work of rescue commenced. Ropes and life preservers were thrown to the crowd, but in the panic the people in the water clutch- ed each other and many sank in groups in death’s grapple Many were taken from the water unconscious and were revived with difficulty. By noon seventeen dead had been removed and three others were taken an board the Sappho and died cn the way to Bar Harbor. The precise number of dead will not be known for some tinie as 4 strong tide sweeps under the pier aud some bodies may have been car- ried away by it.
