The legislature as a body ran through the streets to the opera house, to find a company of soldiers drawn np befora it. Then the legislature decided to deliber* ate in the courthouse, and ran through the streets in that direction. A second company of soldiers beat the lawmakers to the goal and they then took to the streets, looking for a piace in which to bold a session and declare Goebel gov* ernor of Kontncky. The proclamation of Governor Taylor is as follows: To the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky: Wherea«, A state of insurrection now prevails lu the state of Kentucky and especially in Frankfort, the capiral thereof, by vir tue of the authority vested in my by the constitution of Kentucky, I do hereby, by this proclamation, adjourn at once the general assembly of the state of Kentuckv to meet at London, Laurel county, Ky., Tuesday, Feb. 0, 1900, at 12 o’clock. *' Legislators at the Capitol. This morning not a member of the lcg:saturo knew whether or not tho bony would ba permuted to meet in tno capitoi building. All they knew was that soldiers were guarding every gato and that nobody would bi uTowed to enter without a pass. Tney decided, however, to meet at the Capitol hotel arid march in a body to the *tatelioa*o. Clerk Edward Lee of the house with Representative* Kilday and Lewis formed tho advance guard aud at 9:40 they presented themselves at the south gate of the capitoi grounds. A young lieutenant was on gnard, in commaud of a small squad. As soon as the mem bers of the legislature wore identified they were admitted and allowed to pass Into the capitoi building. Not a soldier was in sight on the out side of the building, but ouce the door was opened it looked like war. Long lines of infantry were drawn up on each side of the hall, with fixed bayo nets. At the foot of the stairs leading to the legislative balls stood Colonel Williams, and behind him a detachment of sol diers completely blocking the stair. Col onel Williams carried in his hand a large bond* of papers which be banded to each member of the house as they passod him. It was a copy of the procla mation givsu above. Colonel Williams permitted Clerk Lee, Assistant Clerk Henry 8tone and Deer**** It-Mil lo L twill tk»rt. Loud cries end exclamations filled the air and Coldnel Williams, mounting half way np the stairs, shouted: "Gentlemen, I bold io my hands a proclamation issued by the governor of Kentucky which 1 will read." He then read the proclamation in a loud tone, and directed an orderly to pass copies of the proclamation out into the crowd. The legislators were coming in too rapidly, however, and the pushing and shouting made it impossible for any ex planation to oe gtveti tnc mre comers. Adjutant General Collier then mounted the stairway aud read the proclamation a second time. When he finished a representative shouted: ‘Mr. Chairman—Mr. Chairmau!” * Well. M said the general with a laugh. ‘Where is London?" •Is it in Kentucky?" yelled another voice. The good humor soon died away, however, and loud cries of indignation were beard from tho Democratio mem bers. * PROPERTY on | PNG TIME. We offer for sale the BAG LEY FARM In a body, or in parts.

Painless, and not astrin gent or poisonous. For more than four years Mrs. Bender has been using Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med- leal Discovery as a family medicine. Mrs. K. A. Bender lives in Keene, Coshocton Co., Ohio, and from there she writes: better, nnd after having the grip is just the right medicine for a complete bracing up. Our boy ha* taken three bot tle* for St. Vitus's dance. He wan very nervous and constantly jerk- ing and twitch ing. but now is ns steady as any one; in fact eins entirely cured.” The ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery *’ is a medicine that will help you no matter what ails you. This is true because it works directly at the rooks of all disease —the digestive system, the blood, the nerves. Keep these in healthy condi tion and you cannot be sick. Many of the cures of the "Golden Medical Discovery ” seem almost mirac ulous. Its effect is almost immediate. It tajees hold ot once. It tones up the stomach, invigorates the liver, regulates the bowels. It gets right into the blood and carries strength and comfort to every fiber of the body. It nourishes and invigorates the weakened, irritated nerves and puts the entire system in perfect tune. It is a safe medicine. Safe for adults —safe for children. It contains no sugar, syrup, whisky, alcohol or dangerous opi- aies.' Therefore, it does not create a craving for stimulants. It is distinctly a temperance medicine. ■ If a medicine dealer tries to substitute some other preparation when you ask for Golden Medical Discovery "—look out for him. He is either ignorant or dis honest and yon can’t trust him. Thetf loud above the tumhlt cento a Voice clear and sharp: ••We are dealing with a pack of heathen and bounds. Let's go to the opera house." M'I'iik Outrun by Troops. Shouts of approval greeted this pro posal aud one of the door, down the broad steps streamed the crowd hasten ing along St. Clair street toward the opera boase. Close behind came Gen eral Collier, on the ran. He shouted orders- to Lieatenant Colonel Gray of the LOiisville legion, who was standing by the steps. A few quick orders were given by that tBier, and away toward the opera home .went the soldiers on the dead run. It was no parade. Every man went as though running to a fire. They ran np the middle of the street and easily dis tanced the legislators who took the side walk end handicapped themselves by the numerous posts, boxes and pedes trians that filled the way. When the lawmakers arrived all they obtained for their ran of a quarter of a mile was the privilege or standingon the opposite side of the street and gazing at the opera honse, the front of which was occupied by a panting line of soldiers in double rank with fixed bayonets. General Lyons, the oldest and most corpulent in tbe honse, bad, despite hie physical drawbacks, managed to beat tbe soldiers aud get into tbe halL He was politely requested to come out, which |ie did with tbe remark: "It does not look as though a quorum will get lu.” Thomas Heffney, tbe owner of the opera honse, demanded that tbe mem bers ok the legislature should be ad mitted? It was private property, • he claimed, and the militia bad no right to keel} anybody from it. He was com. v'-t-ly ignored by Lieutenant Colonel Gray. ojieaMr Trimble steppod np to Lien- tenant Colonel Uray and demanded en trance to tbe bail. It was refused. Turning around, Mr. Trimble addressed the crue d: --Gentlemen, we are denied aimts- (ion to tbe opera honse. We will now adjourn to the eonrthonso ” Away went the crowd with good natnred yells of derision at (lie soldiers, who had orders to remain at the opera honse aud could not leave.

Tbe second heat of tbe ruce was now on and away wont tbe dignified senators aud repre- ■entatives down tbe street in a clond of dust, yelling like a pack of Indiana fioldlrrs mucked the I’ntll. It was the same story over again and the legislators were permitted to look at tho oqtsida of tbe courthouse, while the soldiefs held tbe path. General Collier bed arrived by this time and Speaker Trimble, advancing from tbe crowd, said: "Don't shoot, general.” "I'm not going to create any tronble. I won’t shoot unless I have to." was the reply. wish to be admitted to the court- honse,” said Mr. Trimble. Both men were smiling. "It'cannoc be done, gentlemen,” said the genera 1 , calmly.

Tbe physicians, however, hold ont no strong hopes ot bis recovery and say that the chanoes are still very great that bis wound will terminate fatally.

The internal hemorrhage The courage or . -nnded man has never failed him an lien able to talk be insists that bo is 5a: reiy going to re* cover. It is not expected that Mr. Goebel will survive tbe afternoon. Tbe noiss and confusion in tbe streets and in tbs Capitol hotel have worried him greatly. His fever has inoressed and lbs doctors bava ah mt given np all hope. No progress has been made toward apprehending tbe man wbo did tbe shooting, snd it is not likely that any will be made.

Access to It is made more difiialt now by the force of soldiers wbich is stationed ut every gate. No- body is admitted to tbe capitoi gronoda without a pass and passes are not issued in profusion by any means.

Eight hnndn«e. more are expected daring tbs Jay. j.arge crowns nre expected in Frank fort today and the prediction Is made that by nightfall fully fi.OOO strangers will have arrived. The olty at present is very qniet snd there is no sorfsoe in dications of trouble from any source. It is largely dae to tbe conservative attitude assumed by the leading politi cians of both psrties that there has not been fighting in tbe streets of Frank fort. Telegrams were ponred into the eity last night from every direction an nouncing that bands of armed men were more then ready to come down and create ell sorts of trouble in tbe lend. To each and all of these mes sages were sent telling them that there is no place like home, and urging them to remain there.

It is cortain now that tbe legislators will teat Goebel at tbe first session which It holds. If he 1b seated by a joint ballot, the Xepnblieans will pay no attention to the matter aud will refuse to surrender any ot tbe offices.
