HI. I’elrriiburR, Dee. 23— It I. dlrtl-

Milt to Judge whether the general po-

litical .trike can be ranked aa a suc-

<•..» or a failure. The authorltle. are

bewildered by the etrength of the

atrlker. and the .trike ha. reached

formidable proportions In St. I’efers-

burg, where, even according to offi-

cials, over one-third of the work-

men obeyed the order of the work-

serting others will be brought Into

line Immediately.

The government while entering on

n vigorous offensive canipalgnagalnst

the revolutionary leader, and mak-

ing arrest, by the wholesale main-

tains an air of calm confidence.

It has Issued a reassuring commu-

nliatlon declaring that all necessary

ineasure^^have been taken to prevent

dliw.rder.'.

The pro'eisrlat organliatlons are

marshaling all their forces.

The prevailing Impression Is that

with the limited funds at the disposi-

tion of the unions, the strike mn»l

spread rapidly and enter a new and

more violent phase or the game will

be lost by the revolutionaries.

(’old weather and hunger likely

will have a great eecl In the govern-

uivat'a favor.

In Moscow the striking railroad

men and I >wer classes who see the

bread taken from the.lr mouths by the

strike are already at each other’s

While examining a pistol the wife)

of Will Caldwell, colored, of 91.*.

North Ninth street, shot him about

9 o'cIcK'k this morning. Ho Is prol>-

ably fatally wounded.

Hhe had the weaprm, which was a

(5 caliber Colts, and waa looking It

over. The barrel was pointed to-

ward Caldwell and when she placed

too much force on the trigger there

was a loud report and Will Caldwell

fell to the floor. The screams of tho

wife attracted the neighbors and sev-

eral ran In

Drs. Bights and Klyihe were sum-

moned and they made an examina-

tion of the wound. They found the

ball hud entered the left side Just

below the heart and lodged under

the skin In the back. It was not

extracted as the doctors deemed It

Inadvisable to attempt it while Cald-

w^l was in such a serious condition.

The wound was a very ugly one. Dr.

Rlythe said that fur such a woundthat it was suriirlsing lo note that

he was not worse than he was, but

he believed that the victim would

die, although he might live.

There seems to be no question but

that the shouting was accidental as

l)uth she and her husband stated so

and there was no known enmity be-

tween them.

Patrolmen Hill and Ferguso.i

were dispatched to Ihe scene aa soon

as Police Captain Harlan heard of

the shooting and after an Investiga-

tion they reported that It was an uc-

cideni, so no arrest was made.

Mayfield, K>., Dec. 23. One year

ago yoHterday the body of a man was

found in a straw stark on the farm

of John Reynolds, oast of town. Agash across his throat Ind'iated that

tho man had died from slash of a ra-

zor. One of these wea|ions was found

under the body. '

The question as to who the manwas then arose and after a great ileal

of Kpeculatlon the identity of the

liody was still a niyste'ry.

Sufllclent evidence was later un-

covered to stimulate a Itelief that the

man had dPd iinwillinKly— that he

had lieen murdered by one or'inore

persons. .A closer Investlgittlon went

to show that his throat had lieen rut

after death had come to the man.

The liody was removed from the

grave on two different occasli^ns tor

the purpose of identlflratlnn, but It

was replaceil, and all remained un-

solved.

There are people in .Mayfield today

who lM“llevp. and believe strongly,

that the stranger waa miiidered with

drugs, in this city for the money he

had on him. There are others wholaugh at I his idea.

All marks of identifleation had

been removed from the body when It

was discovered. Every (taper had

been destroyed; the marks on his

shirt and outer garments hud been

cut away; and there was no blood on

the neck or clothing.

W. A. Beadles, of the Carter dry

goods store. Identified the bod.v as

that of W. P. ktarshall, who had Just

arrived In Mayfield from California.

He was in the store the day before

the suicide or murder and bought

some goods. The man had returned to

this city after an absence of several

year.*.

But with ail the evidence, two or

three grand Juries have found noth-

ing to cause any arrest to be made.

BETTRR SPIRIT I.\ KENTUCKY.A better spirit is coming over old

Kentucky, says the I..outaytIle Her-

ald. The Goebel revolutionary era

brought tiitiny into promiiienre, somewe freely admit on the republican

side, undeserving of nr unlit for

public honors and responsibilities.

(Joebelism created a profound shak-

ing up In the democracy. The old

time conservative leader and coun-

sellor was turned down for the vio-

lent, radical, unacriipulous mouth-

1 ,lece. Some excellent democrats left

their old-ymo jwrty naaociatlnns to

become republicans, loyal and effect-

ive. Such they have jiroved by deed,

courageous and unselfish, often re-

peated. But other so-called demo-crats, profiting by the unsettled con-

dlt.mua In their 'bwn party, also cameover, not for eonvlrtion's sake, hut

to |w>se as martyrs and cavort at-

converts, to better obtain rewarda In

the form of offices denied them In

former party surroundings. TheIcttdt-rship assumed In republican

councils by some of these unconvert-

ed democrats has worked tor muchevil In republican circles. But the

party Is awakening to the evil andfully e<]ual to its abatement.

It Is, on the other hand, pleasing

to sec iudepeudeilt deiiKM-rats take

firm stand for the honor of Kentuekyin the matter of a proi>osed statue

to Senator Goebel to be |,laced at the

ex|H>nse of this state In the nation's

hall of fame at Washington. TheOwensboro Inquirer rightly says of

that despotic politician;

"He possessed not a single charac-

teristic of the great man, except de-

termination, to achieve bU ends.

".Magminimlly is a |iart of the

great man. He would scorn success

attained by such moans as Ooebei

used and |K>riiiitted to be used in the

•Vluslc Hall convention, for iiisluiice.

"I.et us hear no more of Goebel

In this connection. If his worshipers

want to continue their idolatry, muchof which Is as Insincere as Goebel

was Insincere, let them do it, but let

not the great majority of the peoi,lo

of Kentucky suffer for their Idola-

ItCDY, PHILI,ll*M « (N>.EXEMPTING MANUFACTORIES.Some of the members of 'the gen-

eral, council appear to take a very

narrow view of the prlnolple of ex-

empting industries from taxation for

B period of five years as an Induce-

ment to their location. They get

up and fruitlessly waste time qulh-

blng over trifles nnd technlealltlos.

when a little Investigation would

show them that what the iirogresslve

jieoplc of Paducah want them to do.

so far as Paducah Is coneerned. I*

only what other Kentucky cities do.

We want to be Just as generous

and liberal as other cities, because

we sliall have to jdace ourselves on

an equal footing with them In tho

contest for ' supremacy In locating

new maniifacforles. If we cxirect to

accomplish results.

The exemption law Is rapahle of

either a liberal or a limited construc-

tion. Some hold that not only newfactories, including every particle of

Iirojierly they own, may be exempt,

but that property may be exempt that

suiiplants old fHctories that have

htirncd. In some places the latter

construction has been placed on the

law, and with satisfaction and suc-

cess to the town. It Is alleged.

Hut how Is It here? A factory

that Is undecided about where to lo-

cate, would prefer going elsewhere,

to being Juggled about In the local

boards (which seldom seem to knowtheir own minds for two days In suc-

cession) In an efforl to secure the

legal exemptions. Every advantage

of locutiiig a new factory seems of-

ten to be lost sight of in avaricious

conteinidatlon of the few dollars in

taxes Immi-dlalely in sight.

Some olliclals are short sighted us

well as unjust,*

Paducah has always nilhered to

the Idea that If a man's mill or fac-

tory burns, the factory he puts ui>

In Its place is not a new one. Sup-

pose he hiiihls It somewhere else.'

Tlie five-year exemi>tlon law Is patt-

ly, no doulil. to Induce him to hulht

It here. Ills new factory Is Just an

much anotlu-r fa< lory ns If then? had

never hoen one there. Ho might

hiilld the new factory here, or might

build It somewhere else, or might

not build It at all. The five-year stat-

ute. some cnnlenil, Is to enable a

rlty to offer him iuducemeuts to re-

build. If it Is neiessary, and the as-

sumption Is a reasonable one. At

least many good lawyers claim that

the statute may be so construed with

mfety.

Yet what Is the situation here? A :

man may live here thirty or fortyj

years, assist In u|ibuilding the city,

ruriiisb scores of people with a meansof making a* living, year In and year

out. pay big taxes every year, and In

many other ways contrlhiite to the

Goehelism and Goebellstle methods.

The late William Goebel stood for a

Idespotism, with himself as chief ty-

depriving her of capital, enterprise,

1 progress and population. I^entucky

must dissoelatc herself absolutely

from all that Is Implied by Goebellsm.

warrant charging her with the mur-

der of William M. Pryor.

After Jiid^e LIghtfoot had dismiss-

ed the warrant yesterday, the com-

I

monwealth attorneys had the case ta-

\ken to the grand Jury, and the grand

i Jury, after hearing the evidence, de-

,

elded as Judge LIghtfoot declded.and

Mrs. Gholson thus today gets her

second exoneration In two days.

The evidence seems to have been

plain enough that the ihooting was

accidental. The dismissal of the

grand grand Jury today, would not

prevent future grand Juries consider-

ing Ihe case If they Jeslred to. but

It Is believed that the dismissal today

ends the case.

The grand Jury made formal re-

port on the case this morning, cer-

tifying that It was dismissed, and the

report waa ordered spread on the re-

cords.

Thd funeral of Mr. Pryor took

place this morning at 11 o’clock, bur-

ial at Oak Grove.

The atatement that Mrs. Vella

Gliolson, was placed iu the county

Jail was a mistake. All the time she

was at the home of J. W. Troutman,

LIVELY ttl.N'I'ENT MAY lll*m'LT.

RepreHentutives of about twenty of

the labor urganixulions in I.oulsviliu

that ainilate with the American Fed-

eration of I.abor have signed a peti-

tion which has been sent to Raniuel

Gomiiers, president of the AmericanFed«*rutlon of Imbor, asking that nn

nfllrer of the nattoual biMy be sent to

Kentucky to investigate the recent

election of oIRcers of the Kentucky

State Federation of Labqr In Coving-

ton. says the Courier-Journal. ThepelHioti Is in the shape of a protest

against certain rulings of Janies DWood, president of the state organi-

zation, In which It is alleged that he

violated the constitution when he al-

lowed delegates In the state conven-

tion to cast more than live delegate

votes.

It is specifically charged that five

delegates from the United Mine Workers Union of the Western district of

Kentucky voted sixty delegate votes

In the convention when they were on-

ly entitled to twenty-five under the

provisions of the constitution. It Is

also charged in the protest that Pres-

ident Wood allowed several delegates

to vote in the cot^ventlon whosehome unions were not affiliated with

the American Federation of T.abor

and the delegates had no credentials.

I.oiilsvllle at the state convention

had twenty-one delegate votes, andwhen President Wood made his rul-

ing 1n violation of the constitution

a resolution was introduced asking

that the iiruviSions of the constitu-

tion be adhered to. ^hls was refer-

red to the conimltteo on resolutions,

which by a vote of 3 to 2, upheld

President Wood. AH the I.oulsvHle

delegates then left the convention

hall with the exception of F,. J. Klef-

fer, of the Cigar .Makers’ Union. Jno.
