Convicted of tha aiaawlnntlon of Go?
rnor Goabal. -
Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 28. Jamea B.
Howard, who has been on trial for the
past 10 days, charged with being a
principal in tbe assassination ol Wil
liam Goebel, waa found guilty by the
jury today, hia punishment being fixed
at death.
Tlie fact that the jury bad deliberat
ed all of yesterday afternoon without
reaching a verdict led to the belief
tbat it waa hopelessly divided, and thia
fact made the verdict shocking to
Howard and those who hoped for his
ultimate acquittal. Howard did not
lose ha composure when the verdict
calling for the extreme penalty of tbe
law waa read in tbe court room. He
glanced at his attorneys, who sat bo
Bide bim, ami smiled, bat aaid noth
ing. After the jury had been dis
charged Howard waa taken back to tbe
jail, and there, for the first time, he
betrayed emotion. He oh I led for a pen
and paper and wrote a long letter to
bis wife, during which ; the tear
coursed down bia cheek. He was
joined later by bis attorneys, who
apent a good part of the day in confer
ence with him in regard to the motion
for a new trial, which will be filed to
morrow, and other matter in connec
tion with the case.
One of the juror stated to a proas
representative that a number of ballots
were taken, but tlie first ballot result
ed in a niiunimoua vote in favor of a
verdict of guilty. Aftsr that the bal
lots yesterday were aa to the degree of
punishment. Ten members voted for
the death penalty, while two voted for
life imprisonment. The first ballot
today resulted in a verdict, the two
jurors who had voted for life imprison
ment gave in to tlie majority and
voted for the death penalty. The jury
consisted of nine Democrats, one Re
publican and two anti-Goebel Demo
crats. :-
The verdiot of tbe jury, it la be
lieved, waa based largely upon the de
struction of Howard's alibi, upon
which be depended solely. One ot tbe
jurors admitted that the failure of
Howard to bring any of the oocnpantg
of the executive buildinga January 80
to testify that be was not there, waa
considered by the jury aa an indication
that he waa there. The testimony ol
Gaines aa to seeing Howard run out of
the grounds and also of Stubblefield,
who swore that Howard confessed the
killing a few day after the murder,
were the other principal points upon
which the jury relied. ,

EDICTS ARE CONFUSING
China Asks the Czar and the
Mikado to Help.
POMSHMENT OF HIGH CHI5F.SF,
arotwKhstandlng the Edicts War Free
rations Are Still Keported-abaa '
Hal Captured by the Allies.
London, Oct. 1. Beyond a number
of imperial edicts, which throw into
still worse confusion tbe complicated
Chinese situation, there 1 little in to
day's new to arrest attention. From
Shanghai come an unconfirmed report
that tbe allies bava seized Shan Hal
Kwan.
All tha new wltb regard to tha
edict eminatee from Shanghai. Ac
cording to tbe advices, in addition to
tha edict ordering Grand Councillor
Knn Kang to offer oblation before the
coffin of Baron von Ketteler and the
edict directing that Li Hung Chang'
entire plan ba followed in regard to
the punishment of tha princes and
high ministers of state responsible for
the anti-foreign outrage, and tbe de
cree ordeting that funeral honors be
paid in Pekin and Tokio to the remain
of Sugiyama Akira, the murdered chan
cellor of tbe Japanese legation, Emper
or Kwang Hsu ha addressed further
letter to the czar and mikado renew
ing bis request for their aid in tbe
peace negotiations.
Various opinion are expressed aa to
tbe impoitance of the edict. Tbe
Shanghai correspondent of tbe Morn
ing Post says:
"Tbe severe punishment ordered by
mperor Kwang Hsn will only mean a
money fine. There are trace of Li
Hnng Chang's hand under American
influence in the edicts." On the other
band, the Standard' Shanghai corre
spondent remarks: "The empress now
realizes the true nature ot the crisis.
After consulting tbe emperor aba sum
moned tbe court dignitariea and on
their assembling, through which she
remained silent, the emperor in a lond
voice delivered a tirade lasting a couple
of hours against tbe courtiers. Then
in an angry voice he dismissed them.
After this the decree were issued.
While these have been promulgated,
feverish war preparation ara still re
ported from Shanghai, and new ap
pointment have been made to tbe Chi
nese army and navy."
, MINERS' PAY RAISED.
Aa Advnnee of 10 Per Cent la the Aa
thrmelte Goal Region.
Philadelphia, Oct. 2. An offer of
an increase of 10 per cent in miner's
wages waa today made by the Phila
delphia & Reading Coal & Iron Com
pany, and thia move, it ia stated, will
be followedby similar notice at every
colliery in tha anthracite region.
It ia expected by the operators that
this increase in wages will be satisfac
tory to the men, and tbey believe many
striker will take advantage of the
offer and return to- work. Mining
operations will in thia event be given
an impetus, and the operators expect
there will be a gradual resumption un
tiMhe collieries will again have their
fnll complement of employes. The
Philadelphia & Reading Company
operates 89 collieries, and ot these 37
have been abut down owing to insuffic
ient working force.
Whether the miners will accept the
proffer of the company and return in
sufficient numhera to operate the minea
cannot be foretold tonight. Reporta
received from several points in the
Schuylkill region, where the Reading
collieries are located, rather indicate
that the mineworkera will follow the
instruction of their organisation offi
cials and remain away.
President Mitchell, of the Mine
workers, received no notice of the in
tention of the oparatora to offer the in
crease in wages, and the intimation ia
thus given that tbe miners' organisa
tion will receive no recognition from
tbe nperators.

S.TUATiON WORSE THAU EVER

New York, Sept. 29. A dispatch to

The situation in China ia now more

wbo are not likely to aubmit to the

There is danger that the friendly vice

Rusia'a possession of the railway show
by the permanent arrangement which

to swallow ti.-r north of China. No
one here believe that Russia will ever
move out except under overwhelming
pressure from other powers. Ger
many's assurance tbat she doe not de
sire territory in China, if the latter be
able to pay an indemnity, ia mislead
ing. Her demand for the punishment
of the leadera oi tbe Boxen a a con
dition precedent to peace negotiation

complete disruption of the Chinese gov
ernment. Friendly feeling between
Japan and Enasia U increasing. France
ia band in glove with Russia. Vlce
Adrairal Seymours attempt to under
take tbe isolated British occupation of
Shanghai and to patrol tbe Yangtse

tion, while losing an opportunity to
make a definite agreement for non-partition
of the empire with Japan. The
United Statea ia consistent but power

cially announced, ia to be the new
viceroy of Canton, is anti-foreign. Un
less the allies protest the friendly vice
roys are likely to have no friends left
in China. The only method of dealing
with the situation not involving the
division of Chinese territory ia through
tbe friendly viceroy, gradually remov
ing the throne from tbe power of the
Boxer leadera. Americans on tbe spot
believe that tbe settlement of the pres

enormous and increasing American and
Chinese trade.
INDUSTRIAL CRISIS.
The Indications Point to Hard Times
. Coming In Enrope.
Washington, Sept. 29. Tbe wave of
industrial prosperity in Europe, which
haa steadily risen since 1985, saya Act
ing Consul-General Hanauer, of Frank
fort, in a report to tbe state depart
ment, baa taken a tmn and baa begun
to recede. ,
"All signs," he saya, "point toward
a orisis in industrial and financial
lines, which may occur before two
years have passed. Any political dig
turbance of note may bring on the
crisis suddenly, and without warning.
Coal mining is still booming, a the
supply is not equal to the demand.
The iron and steel wroka, including
the manufacturers of many lines of
machinery and steel plates for war
ships, have orders which it will take
some months to fill but factories making
small ironware, needles, bicycles,
nails, sewing machines, etc., are cur
tailing production and reducing work
ing forces and wage scales.
"There are doubts if the immensely
capitalized electrical works of Ger
many and other countries can keep
fully employed after present contracts
are filled. Thia Its of industry which
in Germany alone represents an invest
ment of nearly 300,000,000, haa
been largely instrumental in creating
the boom.
"Failures have begun already in tbe
building trade, which, in the large
cities, bas been of a speculative nature,
and rested mainly on borrowed capi
tal. Bents for business booses and
dwellings have advauoed, but will top
ple upon tbe first beignning of a busi
ness crisis."' '"

ESCAPED DEATH.
THE UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE
GRANTED LE ROY BOWEN.
Given 17p to Die by Four Doctor Beenore
of a Serlone Complientlon ot Disease
-How He Saved Himself
From the Enterprise, Mapleton, Mine.
To escape death after being given up
by four doctors, and bidden good-bye
to family and Irienda is an experience
not granted every man. Yet it hap
pened to Mr. Le Boy Bowen, of De
eorla township, Blue Earth county,
Minn.
. Mr. Bowen ia a farmer, but formerly
! resided in Mapleton, where he was
1 clerk and city marshal for a number
ot year, tie ia a wen-Known memoer
of tbe Maaonio fraternity and enjoy
an enviable leputation for bia aterling
honesty and uprightness of character.
He told bia story ot miraculous re
lief and cure to a reporter recently and
it ia a story of the greatest interest.
He aaid:
"I was suddenly taken sick in tha -spring
of 1895. The pain was intense.
The doctor waa hastily summoned.
He pronounced my case one of gravel
and said that tbe pain was caused by
tbe passage of'a stone from tbe kidneys
to tbe bladder, i doctored with bim
for thiee months, but waa not benefited.
Frequently, once A week, I would
have a bad spell of two or three days
duration, during which I suffered un
told agony. -
"Finally I went to Mankato and
consulted A specialist. Ha stated that
I did not have gravel, but thought it
was rheumatism of tha stomach. I
continued to visit him until the end of
August, Then I became completely
bedridden and sent for another doctor.
He called my complaint inflammation
of tba bowels and treated ma for that.
1 became better, but in one week my
legs swelled up and I was worse than
ever. -
"The doctor laid my case before tha
faculty of Rush Medical College, Chi
cago, and it waa decided that I had
neuralgia ot the stomach. I waa treat
ed for that until December, but contin
ued to grow worse. Then the doctor
said, 'I can't do yon any- good. All
the help I know for yon is an opera
tion. 'Very well,' I replied, 'go on
and. operate if tbat ia left for me.'
This was on Sunday. The time of tha
operation waa set for Tuesday. My
children were sent for, and I prepared
for the worst.
"The appointed time came; the four
doctors present examined me for two
hours, then they retired and consulted
for the same length of time. They
concluded tbat they did not know what
ailed me. The bead physician asked
permission to 'cut,' as he expressed it,
and find out.' I asked bow big
place be wanted to cut. Ha said he
thought four inches far enough.' I
knew enough not to allow any uch
hide-and-seek game to be played with
me, so the operation did not occur. I
continued under the doctor's care, but
my case waa considered hopeless. I
made my will, balanced my accounts
and made every preparation for death.
"I continued to grow steadily worse.
Day after day was passed in intense
agony. Aa a last resort I told my
hired man to bring me, the next time
he went to town, a box of Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Piila for Pale People. I
had read considerable about them and
thought I wonld try them. Immed
iately after beginning tbe use ot these
pills I commenced to feel better. At
first, I took one pill three times a day,
but Increased the dose to three pills
three time a day. , In two week I'
was out of bed and around. ,
"In five weeks I took a trip to Man
kato, but thia trip waa a little beyond
my strength and I came home and bad
to go to bed. I again began the use of
the pills. The effect waa aa before; in
four day I waa on my feet, and have
betn there ever since, thank to Dr.
Williams' Pink Pilla for Pale People."
I hereby "certify the above statement
ia true, to the beat ot my knowledge
and belief. LE BOY BOWEN.

swer any inquiries to those enclosing
itamp for reply.
It was nature's own remedy that
accomplished thia cure caused by im
pure blood, for Dr. Williams' Pink
Pilla for Pale People ara composed ot
vegetable remedies that exert a power
ful influence in purifying And enrich
ing the blood. Many diseases long
supposed by the medical profession to
be inonrable have succumbed to the po
tent influence ot these pills. This uni
versal remedy is sold by all druggists.
