Affecting seene in the Death Chamber. Interment to Take I'laee at Frank fort-Beckham Sworn in as Governor. FRANFOI:T, Xy., Feb. 3.-The bullet fired by an unknown assassin last Tues day morning ended the life of G;ov. Goebel at 6:45 o'clock this evening. The only persons present at the deathbed were Gov. Goebel's sister, Mrs. liraun acker, and his brother, Arthur Goebel, of Cincinnati, who have been in con stant attendance at Gov. Goebel's bed side, and D)r. McCormack. Justus Goebel, anither brother, who has been hurrying from Arizona as fast as steam would carry him in a vain hope of reaching hi; dying brother in time for some token of recognition, ar rived forty minutes too late. Oxygen wvas frequently administered the dying man during the afternoon in an effort to keep him alive at least until his brother's arrival, but in vain. For the .ruel irony of fate the train on which .lustus Goebel was traveling to Frank fort was delayed several hours from rarious cause., and when Mr. Goebel finally reached here it was only to learn that his brother was dead. Among bitter partisans of both par ties deep grief is manifested, and al ready a movement has been started to erect a fitting monument on the spot in the State house grounds where he was shot. N-, arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral. Plunged in grief And locked in the death chamber of their brother, Arthur and Justus Goebel mud Mrs. liraunacker have given out no intimati.on of their wishes, and prob ably no definite arrangement will be :naude until tomorrow. Gov. Goebel's condition last night and awell into the morning was considered so much improved that for the first time Since he was shot down in front of the state house hopes were entertained of tis ultimate recovery. His hicconughs .tnd nausea, with both of which he has been troubled more or less from the ;irt, had almost entirely disappeared, vrile his temperature had been reduced o nearly normal and his pulse, though high, was apparently stronger. Grew Sudedenly Worse. About 4 o'clock, however, the time of the night when the vitality isat its low est ebb, the hiccoughs returnel accom panied by some nausea. This at first was not considered serious and the trouble soon yielded to treatment, the patient again dozing until 6 o'clock, when he grew restless. At Mr. Goebel's request Chaplain L. G. Wallace, of the Kentucky peniten tiary, an intimate friend, was sent for and when the latter came, the two hai a short conversation. "Lew," said Gov. Goebel, "I wkih to announce to the world that I do not ?hold myself in open violence to the word fi, I Lost His Indomitable Conarge. The hypodermic injections afforded some temporary relief, but the sufferer for the first time in his long, weairy struggle for life apparently lost his in domitable courage. "Doctor," said he, feebly. to Dr. Mc ('ormick, who stood at the bedside, •'I'm afraid- now I'm not going to get over this." Dr. McCormack endeavored to cheer the fast failing man. but the latter soon relapsed into a condition of semi consciousness. About 1 o'clock he aroused himself again and calling D:. McCormack to his side, said: "Doctor, am I going to get well? I want to know the truth, for I have several things to attend to." "Governor, you have but a few hours to live," replied Dr. McCormack. Mr. Goebel was silent for a moment, then calling his brother Arthur to his side, he asked that the physic'ass and nurses retire. Then for twenty minutes the dying man was left with his brother and sister, Mrs. Braunacker. Soon after this he again fell into a stuper and at 3 o'clo:k his condition was considered so alarming that, as a last resort, oxygen was given in an en deavor to keep the dying man alive if possible until the arrival of his brother, Justus Goebel, from Arizona, who was due shortly after 6 o'clock. At 6:10 p.m. DI. Hume left the dying man's bedside and reported to the throngs of anxious watchers in the cor ridors of the hotel that death was a matter of a few moments' time. The oxygen treatment was used constantly in a desperate effort to keep Mr. Geo bel alive until Justus Goebel's arrival, but no effort was made to ruse the unconscious man, and at 6:45 the end came. Becltham wore Ina. Exactly one bour after the death of Mr. Goebel; Acting Governor Beckham was sworn in as governor of the State, the oath being administemed by S. J.

One of the most insidious and debilitating of all germ diseases is Mala tia. The germs find lodgment in the blood, and as the blood is the life of the body, its corruption by malarial germs aftect:; the whole system. The pres ence of malarial poison is manifested by a feeling of languor, weariness and general debility. The appetite is poe.o~, liver torpid, bowels constipated or the reverse, digestion bad, tongue coated and breath bad. Ague, chills and fever, swamp fever, malarial fever and typhoid malaria are merely different fcorms of malarial poisoning. Malaria can only be cured by a remedy that will neutralize the malarlal poison and eliminate it from the system, and which will at the same time enrich and vitalize the blood. Casca Ferrlne, California's.famous nor-secret remedy, combines most happily all the requirements of a perfect remedy for the cure of all forms of malaria, and it has never been known to fail in effecting a cure In the most obstinate cases of chronic malarial poisoning. The tonic properties of Casca Ferrine are supplied by Pure Ctllfornia Sherry Wine, Cinchona, Iron and Malt Extract. Cinchona is regarded as a specific in all types and forms of fevers, especially malaria and chills and fevers. The iron is a pow erful blood tonic. It is, in fact, what the blood feeds on, and furnishes the latter with ai abundance of red corpu;cles. Malt Extract is a splendid nutri ent tonic, and is prescribed by physicians in all debiltated conditions and in convalescence from diseases. But to cure malarial poisoning, tonics are not alone necessary. It is Imperattve that the liver should be kept active and the bowels open, so that tie pobonotus germs can be eliminated afrom the blood and cast out of the systei through thesenatural channels. Cassca Ferrine contains. in additlio' to the tonics recognized as invaluable in all malarial diseases, the famous Cascara Sagrada. The latter, which grows only in California, is an incomparable laxative, and by its tonic action on the bowels and liver enables them to cleanse the blood of the mala rial poison, while at the same time the tonic properties of this remedy are building up strength and restoring vitality to the weak and debilitated bodIy. will be readily seen that a more perfect combination of medicines could not be effected for the cure of malarial diseases, and a trial will speed ily convince any one who is a victim of malaria or chills and fever of the vast superiority of Casca Ferrine over any of the legion of so-called "chin t.nics" on the market. It not only give: quick relief, but will promptly ef fect i permanent cure. If your druggist does not carry CASCA FE RINK In stook, write us.
