GALLOWS THIS TIME FOR GA^ POWERS Third Trial Terminates at Q-eorgetown, Ky. VERDICT CAUSE( SENSATION. Former Secretary of State Charged With Complicity in the Murder of Governor Goebel, Has Now Been | Sentenced to Hang. i I Georgetown, Ky., August 29.—TTie i third of ex-Secreta.^y of State | Caleb wers for complicity in the I murder of Governor William Goebel j 1-n anuary, 1900, closed shortly be fore noon today with the extreme pen-' alty of banging for the aistinguished , 'prisoner who has been in the peni- | teo-tiary for three years on life sen | tances. Tlie ver<lict of the jury, “guilty and the punishment of death,” was re ported into court at 11:20 o’clock to-' <iAy. Several hundred people crowd ed the court room when the verdict •was read an*u' the most intense silence prevailed. The jury was polled and ^ch man declared the verdict of guilt to be his finding. Powers sat unmov ed while his attorneys asked for time ^ to make a motion for a new trial. Arthur Goebel broke down from the strain on hearing the ver^ilct of guilty. The jurors decline to state what occurred in the jury room. George Wyatt was foreman. Arthur Goebel, brother of the vic tim, is a prominent merchant at Cin cinnati and has sp(?-nt his time and fortune for over three years in the prosecution of those accuse;! of being In a conspiracy to kill hi? brother. Powers has been convicted twice be fore. th-is being the third trial in which the Jury brought in a verdit t of guil ty against himself. At the incvious trials he escaped with a sento-ce to life imprisonment, as the evidence v/as not sufficiently strong against him to lead the Jury to inflict the extreme penalty. . . All three of the trials were con- j doictei at Georgetown, and each oi them he had the assistance of the most able laweyrs who could be pro cured. Subscription lists were circu lated l*n his interest by friends, and a sum of money was secured to defray the cost of his repeated trials and the investigation of the circumstances : which p’*eoeded the killing of Gover- j nor Goebel, in the Interest of the de fense. j TJie latest trial was distinguished by the tact that Powers addressed the Jury in his own behalf, and in a lo-ng ' review of the case showed himself t<; be a very competent attorney, while his eloquence in pleading for his life astounded those who had watched him carefully In the past trials of the case, fisheries. Let there be no relaxations nor compromiee. Keep up the figh: unceasingly, “Perhaps some of you are aware that an interesting event has recently t ik- en place in our domestic circle. I an- proud to say that ano-ther future fish erman has quite lately irortased the population of Buzzard’s Bay by one. “Now, some people are in the haL It of telling fish stories and &f>me peo ple, notably a well Jc-nown physician o my acquaintance, are accustome<l t<- weigh their catch of fisih on their own private scales. AlthougTi this happy event was not the occasion for tellinj* any unusual yarns, I put by fish scales Into requisition and weighed my l:it est catch honestly a>nd the tali was an even 9 pounds.” MEANS NEW ERA FOR COLUMBUS MACEDONIAN SITUATION.

Former President Enjoys Himself With Old Colony Club Guests. New York, August 20.—-Fiormer *Pres ident Grover Cleveland has been mak ing merry with the members aiid guests of the Old Colony club at a clam bake on Marshall’s island, says a Times special from Bourne, Mass. The feature of the day was a short, humorous address he made. “Within the past few years,” he said, “I have been widely jeered and derid ed for spending so much of my time at fishing. For those who jeer and deride me I have only a quiet and un qualified contempt. I go fishing be cause I like It, and I nope that I will continue to go fishing until as near the en-di of the chapter as possible. “I should llkie to say right here that I am more Interested in the protection of the fishing at Buzzard’s Bay than about our hoary-iieaded Infant Indus' tries. I care more for these fisihlng interests than I do about the policy of the next federal administration. ; hope that the Old Colony club will k®?? up it« for the prot^tion of Engineer Cavanaugh Reports on Chat tahoochee's Future.

Many sudden deaths are caused by it — heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy i— are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al lowed to advance the kidney - p o is o n ed blood wiil attack the vital organs or the kidneys themselves break dov/n and v/aste away cell by cel!. Bladder troubles most always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp=Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized, it stands the highest for its won derful cures of the inost distressing cases.
