Webb City, Mo., Nov. 27.—A man hnd woman registered at the Buffalo hotel Saturday night as Clark and ife from Ritchey, Mo. Yesterday Foorning Clark left ona train. At bout midnight Mrs. Clark was dis- overed illin her room. She died at o'clock this morning of morphine boison.

Fred Friend, fanding near by, wasalsoinjured by BOARD MAY FAVOR GOEBEL. Republicans Preparing to Resist. New Point Raised. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 24.—It seems likely that the state election board will give the certificate of election to Goebel and the other democratic state candidates. The republicans, having forec:st the action of the state board of elec- tion commissioners, are preparing by force of arms to resist the seating of the democrats. To this end a conference was held at Frankfort to-day between Gov. Bradley and Mr. Taylor. It was the first time in four months that these two men had met on friendly terms. It is said that the meeting was for the purpose of laying plans to resist the seating of Goebel and the other democrats. That Gov. Bradley will use the militia there isnot the least doubt. The military activity con- tinues, and only republicans are put on guard. Recruiting goes steadily on, and only republicans are chosen to command. The boldest exhibition of Gov. Bradley’s plan has occurred at Winchester, where located the erack company of the Second Regi- ment. Col. Williams, in his inspection of his command, went to Winchester and told the men of the company that they would be meeded at Frank- ford for the inauguration; that it meant a picnic if Taylor was elected, but trouble if Goebel was to be seated. During the conversation on this subject it was incidentally mentioned that all save three men of the com- pany are Goebel men. This fact seems to have been communicated to Gov. Bradley, for Lieut. Longmire has arrived at Winchester with in- structions toimmediately muster out the regiment and collect the arms. In an editorial in the Lexington Herald to-day, former Congressman W.C. P. Breckinridge raises a new new point. He says Taylor is now the governor elect, the certificates from the county boards settling the matter. He contends that the state election board has no power, and that Goebel’s only recourse is to go before the legislature and that until that body passes on hisclaim Taylor will be governor and Gov. Bradley will recognize him as such. As the editorial is evidently inspired, it prob- ably foreshadows the ‘line of action which Taylor and Bradley will take. The Nelson county election commis- sioners today refused to obey the in- junction of Judge Jones, which re- quired the certification for W.S. Tay- lor of the 1,185 votes certified in the precincts for W. P. Taylor. Before the Court of Appeals this afternoon the full bench sitting, counsel for the democrats argued a motion to dis- solve Judge Jones’ injunction. Coun- for the republicans opposed the disso- lution. The decission was reserved. is Funston Sails To-Day. San Francisco, Nov. 23.—Briga- der General Funston will leave this on the steamer Indiana.

Reese, of Albia, Ia., one of the eight members of the national executive board of the United Mine Workers of America, found guilty of contempt of the federal court by Judge Williams, of Kansas, and sentenced to three months in the federal prison here and to pay a fine of $100 and several hundred dollars cost. He was at once taken into eus- tody and locked up. The significant point in the court decision is the fact that the convic- tion was based upon theevidence that the defendant’s addresses to miners, though not delivered on company property, had a tendency to induce non-union men not to work. was this evening Grand Jury’s Report. The grand jury (J. E. Shutt, fore- man; H. Philbrick, clerk) reports as follows: “At the solicitation of numerous citizens of Butler we have visited the county poor farm and made a thor- ough examination of the house and inmates and found the house reason- ably clean and well kept, and belieye that Mrs. Hallis doing all she can for theco.fort of the inmates, consid- ering the amount she receives for taking care of them. On questioning the inmates they said they had plen- ty to eat and were well cared for. “We further commend the county court for the care and improvements which they have made. All of which is respectfully submitted. Furthermore: That we have visited the county jail and found three prisoners, who said they were well treated, and, judging from their looks, would say that they were well fed and cared for. Would recommend that the cage be repaired and made more secure. Also that the inside of the jail belined with boiler iron or some metal to make it more secure. All of which is respect- fully submitted. Brave Explorers Like Stanley and Livingstone, found it harder to overcome malaria fever and ague, and typhoid disease germs than savage cannibals; but thou- sands have found that Electric Bit- ters is a wonderful cure for all ‘mala- rial diseases. If you have chills with fever, aches in back of neck and head, and tired, worn out feeling, a trial will convince you of their merit. W. A.
