WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE THE CHURCH ST. PETER CLAVER'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, ST. PAUL, MINN. VOLUME IV. ST. PETER CLAVER'S ROMAN C P. REV. FATHER PRINTON. The above is an excellent likeness of Rev. Father Printon, pastor of St. Peter Claver's Roman Catholic Church of St. Paul, Mina., to which nine-tenths of the colored Catholics of St. Paul and Minneapolis belong. We also publish exterior and interior views of the church itself which is a handsome and commodious structure and seats nearly a thousand persons. The Rev. Thos. Printon received his first charge in the assignment to St. Peter Claver's Church. St. Peter Claver's at St. Paul is the first church dedicated to the great saint who spent his life in the behalf of the Negro and under his patronage the church has grown and today it stands the pride of the metropolitan diocese of St. Paul. The venerable Archbishop Ireland takes particular delight in the church of St. Peter Claver's, as indeed he does in all things that concern the welfare of the race. Since Father Printon's pastorage the church has been entirely cleared of debt, a magnificent pipe organ installed and a commodious parsonage purchased. The membership of St. Peter's are members of the best families of the city and some of the best known Negro Catholics in the country. In fact, the members of the church have been foremost among the Negro Catholics in all movements tending toward the uplifting of the race. Rev. Father Printon is of Boston and enjoys the distinction of being the first Catholic priest to become identified in a national organization having for its purposes and ends the advancement and uplift of the Negro and the Rev. Father is very proud of the distinction. Father Printon further evinced his love for the Negro by being the first white man to join the National Afro-American Council which held its fifth annual session at St. Paul last week. Father Printon lent his presence and influence to the work in hand and his advice in the solution of knotty problems was frequently sought. Next to Archbishop Ireland he is the Negro's most true and trusted friend. The Coliseum at Chicago, where circuses and big commercial exhibitions were formerly held, is to be transformed into a mammoth indoor garden during the summer. That the great Northwest is a "land of promise" to those who have the right qualities, or, as the common saying is, have the right stuff in them, is well illustrated in the career of Mr. Peter Hanson, the well-known president of the Meeker County bank. Born at Voldsjo, Sweden, in 1845, he came to Minnesota and settled in Swede Grove township, Meeker county, in 1857. His father, Hans Peterson, was a farmer who thoroughly understood his business, for he prospered and accumulated a large estate. His son, Peter E., was brought up as a farmer's boy, receiving simply a common school education, but early developed a superior business capacity. He began to deal in real estate, and in 1879 he opened an office in Litchfield, the county seat of Meeker county, where by his unquestioned integrity and fair dealing, he built up a large business, securing the largest clientele in the city and disposing of a very large amount of land. To this business he added that of banking, and in 1891 was made president of the Meeker County Bank, a position which he still holds, and where his high character for uprightness, sound judgment and unswerving probity is a tower of strength to the institution. As a young man—too young to enlist—Mr. Henson took part in the Indian war of 1862. He helped to guard the homes and to defend the fort at Forest City, Minn. He had the reputation of being the [Name] best shot in the country and took part in two battles. He has always been a patriotic, public-spirited citizen—taking an active interest in public affairs, serving as a member of the town board and as chairman of the county board. He was elected also to the state senate, where his solid qualities found due recognition. His able services as senator undoubtedly prepared the way for higher honors which await him at the hands of the Republican party, of which he has always been an active member, supporting its measures and nominations with zeal. In one of the largest state conventions ever held in the state, Mr. Hanson was nominated by the Republican party in 1900 for the high office of secretary of state over several very able competitors, and was duly elected at the polls in November by a handsome majority. This was an honor of which any man ought justly to feel proud, for it is a distinction which only few can hope to attain in a great commonwealth, and it is the more notable, in this instance, that it comes to a farmer boy while still comparatively young. Mr. Hanson was married in 1867 to Rachel N. Halverson, and is the happy father of four children—Nellie O., Harry A., Jennie F. and Mary L. Hanson, a joy to their parents and full of promise to the state. The present state superintendent of public instruction came from Denmark to Minnesota, when a child of seven years old, with his parents, who settled in Freeborn county in 1871. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, April 25, 1864. His father was Nels Olsen, a farmer of Danish birth, who came to this country with but little means. His mother was also of the same nationality. Young John began his education in the district schools of Freeborn county. He then went to the Albert Lea high school, and from there to the normal college at Valparaiso, Ind., where he graduated in 1887, with the degree of bachelor of science. Afterwards he did college work and taught in country schools. In 1886-7 he was principal of the schools at Alden, Minn. He then went to Kansas, and was principal at Holton, Kansas. In 1889-90 he read law with Lovely & Morgan at Albert Lea. In 1890 he was elected county superintendent of schools of Freeborn county. His success in this field was marked. He was elected to this position for six successive terms and made a wide reputation for his superior administration of the schools of the county, and by his efficiency secured an extended acquaintance with the teachers of the state. In 1896 he was elected president of the County Superintendent's State Association. In 1899 he was made president of the Minnesota Teachers' Reading Circle. In 1900 he was supported by a strong representation of the teachers in the state, for the position of state superintendent of public instruction, and was appointed to the position by Gov. Van Sant—an office which he now holds. [Name] J. W. OLSEN. Mr. Olsen has always been a Republican. For the last ten years he has taken an active part, being many times a delegate to the district, county, and state conventions of his party. In 1900 he was the chairman of the county Republican committee of Freeborn county. In religion, Mr. Olsen is a Methodist, and is the secretary of the board of trustees of the First Methodist Church of Albert Lea, and is superintendent of its Sunday school. He was married July 21, 1891 to Carrie L. Navlor. They have three children—Olive M., Florence M. and Carroll B. Olsen. FIRST COMMANDER OF COLORED TROOPS Among many who claim the distinction of being the first officer of Colored troops during the war there is only one claimant who can read his title clear. That one is Col. C. T. Trowbridge of Minneapolis. The official records and orders support Col. Trowbridge's claims, and the first colonel of the First regiment, the illustrious Thomas Wentworth Higginson states that the first recruiting officer of Colored troops was Sergt. Charles T. Trowbridge of the First New York volunteer engineers (Col. Serrell), who had been Gen. Hunter's trusted orderly. Col. Higginson makes this statement both in his history of the first black regiment and also in an article in the July number (1898) of the Outlook. In this Outlook article Col. Higginson describes how then Sergi. Trowbridge one May morning in 1862 addressed the Negroes of Ladies' Island, S. C., on the advantages of enlisting in the army and how as he proceeded the cautious darkies took to the woods. This interesting article for want of space in this issue will be continued in our next.

To Our Readers. Owing to our absence from the city in attendance upon the state Republican convention, we were unable to publish full reports of the national convention of the Afro-American council, to which we were a delegate. We expect to publish a full report in our next issue. The ladies in particular will receive attention. Messrs. R. B. Montgomery, representing the Afro-American Press; J. J. Miles, representing the Afro-American League, and Rev. L. W. Lewis, representing the various religious organizations, attended the convention of the National Afro-American Council at St. Paul July 9-12. The sessions were held in the commodious state capitol building and the delegates were welcomed by the governor of Minnesota and the mayor of St. Paul. The convention was a grand one and well attended. They discussed race questions and there was considerable oratory. Some of those present were Hon. T. Thomas Fortune, editor New York Age; Hon. Booker T. Washington, Hon. F. L. Barnett, Illinois; Hon. John C. Dancy, South Carolina; Bishop Walters, Mrs. Mollie Church Tyrrel, Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams, Prof. Jesse Lawson, Mrs. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin and others. The citizens of St. Paul were profuse in their hospitality and everyone enjoyed themselves. The old officers were all re-elected. The next meeting will be held in Louisville, Ky. * * * The banquet given by Holyrood Commandery, Knights Templar, last week, at Kaiser's hall, was a grand success. * * * A certain woman who was formerly one of our shining lights but who has now fallen into innocuous desuetude by reason of her somewhat peculiar relationship with one of the swell young bloods of Edison avenue, has been lately giving some of our young women some very bad advice. If this woman desires to consort with the low class of white men who select negro women as their companions de nuit, she should not attempt to lead our young and respectable women into such questionable conduct. * * * It is with sadness that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Nellie Bowman, nee Berry, who departed this life at the home of her parents at Beloit, Wis., about two weeks ago. Mrs. Bowman underwent a severe surgical operation at Beloit, from the effects of which she never recovered. Her sister, Mrs. Cora Rountree, was at her bedside. Her husband is almost frantic with grief. She had been a resident of Milwaukee for several years and was universally beloved. She was a charming young woman. The Advocate extends sincerest sympathy to the bereaved husband and family. GO WAY BACK AND SIT DOWN. The editor desires to convey his personal thanks to Mr. Booker T. Washington and also to his private secretary, Mr. Scott, for his kind information given to the editor concerning a few of our enemies who have been writing backbiting letters concerning us. We will say to these officious ex-friends of ours that if they will write to the garbage collector of Tuskegee or to the gentleman who empties the waste baskets they can doubtless have their letters returned. The Just and the Unjust. Tommy had been worrying papa with the usual number of unanswerable questions, and had been threatened with condign punishment if he did not keep quiet. He fidgeted about in silence for some time, but at length broke out: "Pa, they say the rain falls alike upon the just and the unjust, doesn't it?" "Yes, yes. Don't ask silly questions." "And it isn't just to steal another man's umbrella, is it?" "Certainly not. If you ask any more" "But, pa, the rain doesn't fall upon the man that steals the umbrella, and it does on the man that had his stolen. Funny, ain't it, pa?"—London Answers. LA SAINTE MARIE DE L'ANSE INTERIOR OF ST. PETER CLAVER'S CHURCH. ST. PAUL NEWS. Delivered the Address of Welcome. Gov. Van Sant delivered the address of welcome to the convention of the National Afro-American Council on its opening day. He welcomed the delegates on behalf of the state of Minnesota, and took the house by storm. Many regard it as one of the best ad- M. B. dresses delivered. So popular has Gov. Van Sant become within his own state and throughout the country that his name has frequently been mentioned as the next Republican nominee for the office of vice president of the United States. The state of Minnesota may well be proud of its code of state officials. They are all men of the highest type of character, their administration has been so clean that they have been renominated by acclamation. With such a man at the head of the ticket as Gov. S. R. Van Sant, a man who stands for the law, as has been shown in the manly stand he took against the consolidation of parallel railroad lines of the state shows the nerve and the grit he is made up of. The state is one of the leading states in the line of giving equal rights to all and special privileges to none, in the Union. Governor, Hon. S. R. Van Sant. Governor's Private Secretary, Robert Jamison. Jamison. Governor's Executive Clerk, James A. Martin. Governor's Assistant Executive Clerk Charles J. Moos. Charles J. Moos. Governor's Stenographer, Minnie Helwig. Governor's Messenger, David E. Beasley. Governor's Office Boy, Neil Jamison. The above comprises a list of the office staff of the governor of the state of Minnesota. For politeness, sociability and good breeding, they are indeed hard to beat. They are every one of them efficient and painstaking, and the editor is always a welcome visitor. * * * As an amusing coincidence when we went into the office of Auditor Dunn he informed us that he was about to vacate, but added, "Send my paper to Joe Davis. We swear by him." The following comprise the staff of the superintendent of public instruction: Superintendent, J. W. Olsen; assistant, C. G. Schulz; clerks, Christ Lindahl, Mrs. W. M. Deming, Mary W. Bean. These are all readers of the Advocate and attended the sessions of the council. All are interested in the Afro-American Council and in the welfare of the colored race. Another leading Afro-American of St. Paul, Minni., is J. W. Woodfork, president and chairman of the board of governors of the Ramsey County Afro-American Club, whose cut and history will appear in our next issue. Mr. Woodfork is prominent in Masonic circles and --- * * * was the leading spirit in the organization of the Grand-Lodge of Minnesota. * * * Billy D. Black, vocalist, comedian and impersonator, is leader in his line, and St. Paul would not be complete without him. He furnishes cakewalkers, singing troupes, dancers and all kinds of high-class amusements. Mr. Black is well known in all parts of the Union, uses only the best talent, and is a credit to his profession and his race. Messrs. Phil E. Reid and J. J. Hirshfield conduct a fine place at No. 40 East Third street, where they serve their patrons, who are among the best in the city. It is the favorite resort for bankers, newspaper critics and board of trade men and does a thriving business. They have all the modern improvements, are pleasant and obliging to all and are representative business men. Emil Deuster will Run for Congress. Formal announcement was made today of the candidacy of Emil Deuster for the Democratic nomination for congressman in the Fourth district, to oppose Congressman Theobald Otjen. Mr. Deuster, who lives in the Fifth ward, where he conducts a laundry, was born in that ward in 1860, and has always lived there. As early as 1874 he was a messenger in the state Legislature, his father, Joseph Deuster, being at that time sergeant-at-arms. Not long after he was occupying a position with the law firm of Jenkins, J. H. Elliott & Winkler, but when George H. Paul was made postmaster of Milwaukee, he was placed in charge of the stamp department at the main office, a position he held until Win J. Nowell four years later became postmaster. Mr. Nowell recommended him to Mayor George W. Peck for a position and he was made water registrar, this being his last public office until he became alderman five years ago, in which he served four years. Mr. Deuster was in the national guard fourteen years, rising from the ranks to the captaincy of the Turner Rifles, afterwards known as the Pabst guard. Gold Dollars at a Premium. The United States gold dollar is so scarce that dealers in old and rare coins are advertising everywhere for them, offering from $1.5 to $3 apiece for as many as they can get. Since 1889 the United States mints have not coined any gold dollars. Since then their value has increased steadily. In the mint in Philadelphia, where the dies for all United States currency are made, a reporter of the Philadelphia Times was told the present value of the gold dollar of 1889. Those marked C (Carson City) are worth from $1.75 to $2.50. Those marked D (Denver) are worth from $2 to $2.50; those marked S (San Francisco) are worth from $2 to $3, and those without any mark, indicating they were minted in Philadelphia, are worth from $1.50 to $1.70. -A piece of real estate was sold in New York the other day at the rate of $5 per square inch. CONFERENCES FRUITLESS. Railway Managers Willing to Yield but Repudiate the Union. THE PEACE PLANS FAIL. When Told that Terms are Subject to Approval by Union the Negotiations are Dropped. Chicago, Ill., July 9.—At noon today indications were that the conferences arranged to take place between the railroads and committees from the warehouses would fail to bring about peace in the freight handlers' strike. Committees were appointed this morning to confer with the managers or superintendents of the respective roads. They were not prepared, however, to make a final settlement, that being reserved for the union as a whole. The Rock Island, the Lake Shore, the St. Paul and the Monon officials refused to treat with the men on this basis. At the offices of each of these roads propositions for a settlement were made, but when the men said the matter would have to be approved by the executive committee of their union the managers declared the conference at an end. The conference between officials of the Illinois Central and the strikers was still on at noon. As the railroads all along have insisted that any settlement must be made with their own men alone, it is thought that all the other conferences on now will terminate as have the ones mentioned. At 1 p. m. General Manager Gardner of the Chicago & North-Western, reported that the conference with his men had terminated in an agreement, the men stating that they had the right to make a settlement. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the Chicago & Alton conferences at the hour named were still on, the hitch, it was said, being over the statements by the committees that any terms agreed upon would not be binding unless ratified by the executive committee of the union. Developments Summarized. Secretary E. L. Turley of the National Teamsters' Union warned teamsters to take no part in the strike. Six companies filled freight houses with men shipped in from other points. Wholesale houses reported freight shipments from 20 to 70 per cent. lighter than they would have been had no strike been called. Forty negroes, imported by the Chicago & Alton, deserted on appeal of pickets. Five railroads placed dining and sleeping cars on sidetrack for accommodation of their employees. Crowd of pickets angered by importation of men was dispersed by police at Taylor street and Fifth avenue. Illinois Central and Chicago & North-Western officials announced that they had more men than were employed when the strike was ordered. Lake steamer lines refused to take freight consigned to interior points which they do not usually handle. South Water street merchants obtained supplies and the threatened famine in food is not imminent. Erie liner Conestoga cleared from Chicago for Buffalo by way of Milwaukee without cargo, because railroads were unable to deliver freight at docks. Scores of truck teamsters demanded instructions from their officers at headquarters and were told to haul freight as usual. Pickets were withdrawn from some of the freight houses pending the conferences to be held today. All the roads announced last night that they would receive freight today. Shippers and the large firms about town found things in better shape at the freight houses today and were enabled to secure freight and deliver goods for shipment on the various lines of railway as was usual before the strike began. Asked to Fill Strikers' Places. Babcock, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—A call has been made upon some of the employees of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company of this division to go to Chicago, and temporarily take the place of the strikers at the freight houses. As a rule the call meets with objection. Miners' Chief Confident of Success. Nanticoke, Pa., July 9.—President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers came here from Wilkesbarre today and addressed the delegates of District No. 1, who are now in annual convention here. He said in conclusion: "In all my experience in the labor movement, I have never participated in a strike in which I felt so confident of success. If our membership will stand as I know they will we shall in the not distant future achieve a victory and shall settle for all time the right of the coal miners to receive for honest labor and unremitting toil at least a sufficient wage to enable them to live, maintain and educate their families and enjoy a few of the pleasures of our civilization." STRIKE AT CORLISS Twenty-five Imported Freight Handlers Refuse to Continue Work Racine, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]— Twenty-five of the 150 men brought to Corliss to transfer merchandise from one car to another to be shipped directly through Chicago refused to go to work this morning and the railroad officials, fearing that other men would leave or that freight handlers who are on a strike would reach Corliss at 9 o'clock this morning and seek to get others to leave their work, ordered all the men into the freight cars which are used as lodging places and the train was backed to Sylvania, a station three miles west of Corliss. As soon as clerks and checkers arrive from Milwaukee and Chicago the train will be brought in and the men put to work. On one side of a platform 460 feet long are many cars loaded with merchandise for Eastern points and all brought to Corliss from Western avenue. Merchandise will be transferred night and day into cars across the platform. Telegraph operators are there with offices in a box car and with two switch engines the railroad officials expect to defeat the Chicago freight handlers, now on a strike. Another platform is to be built opposite the present one and men are now at work on it. The officials state that unless a settlement is made with the strikers hundreds of cars of merchandise will be brought to Corliss daily and transferred. CLOSE FAIR ON SUNDAY. Directors of St. Louis Exposition Adopt Formal Resolution to that Effect. St. Louis, Mo., July 9.—The board of directors of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition adopted a resolution that during the whole duration of the exposition the gates shall be closed to visitors on Sundays. After the meeting a telegram was sent to Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, at Washington, notifying him that the Sunday closing resolution as forwarded by the treasury department had been adopted. HOD TAYLOR TO GO Secretary Shaw is Making Arrangements to Swing His Axe in the Treasury Department. Washington, D. C., July 9.—Secretary Shaw has defined one policy in his administration of the treasury department, which is that the usefulness of every officer of the department must, of necessity, have become seriously impaired after a period of four or five years. No secret is made of this belief on the part of Mr. Shaw. An intimation of it was given as early as April, when it became known that within a few months Assistant Secretary Spaulding, who is in charge of the customs administration, would have to make way for a successor. Gen. Spaulding has held the office for five years, and, according to Mr. Shaw, has outlived his usefulness in the department, not from any fault of his own, but simply because no federal officer can continue to act with the same efficiency after the lapse of a few years. Resignation Acceptable. The same rule is being made to apply to Assistant Secretary Taylor, who has charge of the administration of the immigration laws, public buildings and other important matters in the treasury department. It has been an open secret for several weeks that Mr. Taylor would within a few months receive an intimation that his resignation would be acceptable to Mr. Shaw. The resignations in the cases of the assistant secretaries would, of course, go to the President, for these officers are appointed by the President, but it has been generally understood that President Roosevelt would allow Secretary Shaw to arrange the personnel of the treasury according to his own ideas of sound and efficient administration. Assistant Secretary Ailes probably will continue to hold his place, for he has been in office only a little more than a year, and therefore has not reached the point where his term of usefulness can be said to have ended. Slated for Dismissal. At least two or three division and bureau chiefs are believed slated for dismissal, and in all cases these are men who have held their present positions for four years or more. Mr. Shaw was quoted recently as saying he believed Secretary Gage, Assistant Secretary Spaulding and Assistant Secretary Taylor should have been superseded at the end of their four years' term. He recommended the removal of T. V. Powderly, commissioner of immigration, and carried his point, although strong influences were used to secure Mr. Powderly's retention. It has been said that George E. Roberts, director of the mint, would resign some time during the summer, but Mr. Roberts will neither deny nor affirm the report. BOW NEARLY CUT OFF. Fa. River (Seamer Priscilla in Collision with the Powhattan—Passen- Newport, R. I., July 9.—The Fall River line steamer Priscilla is at her pier in this city with a big hole in her port bow and one of her crew dead, due to a collision with the Merchants and Miners' Transportation Company's steamer Powhattan, in Narragansett bay last night, in a fog. The victim was John Muniz, a Portuguese deckhand. Beside him no one was injured. The Priscilla was struck fair by the Powhattan and her bow was nearly cut off. The stem of the latter penetrated fully 20 feet into the hull of the Priscilla. The inflow of water very soon extinguished the electric lights, and the passengers, most of whom were in bed, were turned out of their rooms in darkness. Their nervousness was intensified as they found the men on the ship passing out life preservers by candlelight. There was no panic, although no help was in sight and the steamer was apparently in great need. RIVERS RISE RAPIDLY. Flood Situation in Iowa is Very Serious Lowlands are Submerged and Bridges in Danger. Des Moines, Ia., July 9.—The flood situation in Iowa is more serious than at any time in ten years. The Des Moines, Ia, Raccoon, Cedar and Skunk rivers are from 7 to 15 feet above low water mark and the lowlands are submerged. Hundreds have been made homeless. In Des Moines 200 persons have already been forced to abandon their homes and have suffered the loss of horses, cattle and hogs. At Des Moines and elsewhere throughout the central section of the state continued rain has fallen for twenty-four hours, the precipitation at Boone and Fort Dodge being reported as nearly 4 inches. Rivers continue to rise rapidly and are filled with driftwood. False work on a concrete bridge has gone out here and two other bridges are in danger. A bridge across the Des Moines river near Boone is reported to have gone out. Levees in Des Moines are weakening and if a break occurs hundreds of acres of residential property will be flooded. DISASTROUS FIRE IN DALLAS, TEX. Dallas, Tex., July 9.—Fire this morning completely destroyed the wholesale drug houses of Patton, Worsham Company; Texas Drug Company; J. W. Crow Drug Company and H. W. Williams & Co. The wholesale paper house of Scarff & O'Connor was badly wrecked and considerable damage was done to the Santa Fe depot. The loss will reach $225,000 to $250,000, insurance about $175,000. DEATH OF A FAMOUS HORSE. Linden Tree, Given to Gen. Grant by Sultan. Liver Thirty-three Years. Omaha, July 9.—Linden Tree, the fine Arabian horse presented by the Sultan of Turkey to Gen. Grant, died at the farm of Gen. L. W. Colby of Beatrice, Neb., aged 33 years. Gen. Grant met the Sultan of Turkey during his tour around the world, and on his return home the Sultan sent him the finest specimen of the pure Arabian horse that was to be obtained. The horse later was purchased by Gen. Colby of Beatrice. He was used as a saddle animal for several years, but since he became too old to be of practical value has been tenderly cared for. WRECKED THE JAIL. Prisoners Explode Dynamite but are Covered with Winchesters. St. Joseph, Mo., July 9.—Prisoners in the St. Joseph jail exploded dynamite in the structure, wrecking the rear wall and shattering windows of the court house adjoining. None of the prisoners escaped. Pandemonium reigned in the jail. Deputies with Winchesters are keeping the prisoners back. GET TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. Jessie Morrison, Convicted of Murder, is Sentenced. NEW TRIAL OVERRULED Eldorado, Kas., July 8.—Jessie Morrison, convicted June 28 of murder in the second degree for killing Mrs. Olin Castle at the latters home here in June, 1900, by cutting her throat with a razor, was today sentenced to twenty-five years in the penitentiary. Motion for a new trial was overruled. Miss Morrison, who has gone through three trials, took the sentence with little show or demonstration. The case will be appealed to the state supreme court. At her second trial Miss Morrison was given but five years. Rivalry of Two Women. The rivalry of two "girls," one of them 30 years old and the other 26, for the love of a boyish young man of 24, was at the bottom of this sensational tragedy. Olin Castle was a clerk in the Racket store. Jessie Morrison was also a clerk in the Racket store. Her tender regard for her fellow clerk, Olin Castle, was no secret. For two years or more Olin Castle "kept company" with her, seeming to prefer her to Miss Morrison. On June 13—unlucky day—Olin Castle and Clara Wiley were married. The wedding passed off smoothly enough, and eight days later there was a reception given by the parents of the groom. The next morning Castle went to the store about 6:30 o'clock, as was his wont. At 9 o'clock came a message that his wife had been murdered. He hastened home and found his bride of a week lying on the dining-room floor with her throat cut. Caught Red-Handed. Neighbors teid what they knew of the case. Mrs. E. R. Spangler called to neighbors across the street, and one of them—Mrs. Moberly—came over, broke open one of the screen doors and hastened to the dining room, where she saw Jessie Morrison, the defeated rival, standing over the prostrate form of the bride of a week, with a bloody razor in her hand. It was thought that Mrs. Castle would die before sundown. She revived sufficiently in the afternoon to write an ante-mortem statement, accusing Jessie Morrison. Miss Morrison claimed she had acted in self-defense. WEST CALLS FOR MONEY. Large Sums Shipped from New York to Chicago, St. Louis and Other Points. New York, July 8.—Movements of currency to Chicago, St. Louis and other Western money centers have in two days reached a phenomenal figure, considering that it is too early in the season for the regular demand for cash needed in crop movements. Currency to the amount of more than $1,050,000 was shipped West from New York on Saturday and Monday, and the incident is sufficiently extraordinary to have arduous comment in financial circles. Further requisitions upon New York are expected by those who have studied the situation in the West the most carefully. "We have the largest amount of currency on hand that we have ever held." said Cashier Kilborn of the National City Bank, "and it was just in anticipation of this demand that I planned for the large holding. Our people here laughed at me, but I felt sure there would be an early and large demand from the West. Chicago has been loaning money to New York, and now, as the season of crop movement approaches, she is preparing for large necessities. Instead of renewing loans she is calling for currency. That is the whole stary." Assistant Cashier Alexander of the National Bank of Commerce, which shipped $400,000 in currency to St. Louis, attributed the early call for money to the demand in many Western states for funds to finance large enterprises, and to the change in New York exchange rates, which have recently gone from 30 cents a thousand premium to 40 cents discount. THE PANEL DISCHARGED. Court Believed that Certain Jurors Were on Friendly Terms with Andrews' Associates. Detroit, Mich., July 8.—Judge Alfred J. Murphy of the recorder's court created a sensation in the early proceedings today for the trial of Frank C. Andrews, former vice president of the wrecked City Savings Bank, which began this morning, by dismissing the entire panel of jurors drawn for the July term of court. Judge Murphy said in explanation of his action he had receive certain information affecting members of the jury and he considered it proper in the interests of justice to discharge the entire panel summoned for the rest of the term. While it has not been developed in court, it has been rumored that several of the men on the jury were very friendly with some of Frank C. Andrews' close political associates. Andrews' attorneys announced that the ruling of the court in regard to the jurors took them by surprise and entered an exception. Attorney Baker then moved to quash the charge against Andrews on the ground that the prosecution had not set up a proper case. S. W. DORSEY MARRIES.

Answer of Committee of Cardinals on Subject of Friars' Lands. Rome, July 8.—The answer of the committee of cardinals to Gov. Taft's recent note on the subject of the friars' lands in the Philippine islands was presented to the Pope this morning by Cardinal Rampolla, the papel secretary of state. The pontiff expressed his pleasure at the celerity with which the business had been dispatched and said, jestingly: "We are teaching the Americans the renowned art of hustling." The answer will be translated into French and will be printed. OUTLAW ESCAPES Officers Had Tracy Definitely Located, but He Plunged Into Brush and Got Away. Seattle, Wash., July 9.—Harry Tracy, the fugitive convict outlaw, has for the fourth time since his arrival at Meadow Point, escaped from the officers. Tracy was definitely located in the home of Charles Gerrels, one mile north of the town of Renton at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At 4:45 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Cook arrived with a fraction of the posse and advanced up the track towards Gerrels' home. Tracy stood in the rear of the premises and overheard a conversation between one of the women inmates of the house and two young men from Renton, and then the convict plunged into the brush and was lost to view. When Tracy disappeared from the Gerrel's home, the bloodhounds were hastily brought up from the rear and turned loose on the hot scent. Both dogs struck the trail down the stream, following it for a quarter of a mile and crossing the track only to double back and swim the river. Half way between Cedar river and Burroughs' boathouse both dogs ran into cayenne pepper sprinkled in the outlaws' retreating footsteps. Their nostrils were filled with the fiery substance, and fully ten minutes were lost in relieving the dogs so that they could again exercise their powers of smell. Pressed to desperation Tracy made a circuit, headed due north and plunged into the outskirts of the lake, where he finally succeeded in casting the scent. It was now dark and Guard Carson returned to Renton. Posse in Close Pursuit. A messenger from Black River Junction, ten miles from here, said Tracy was seen in a hop-drying house near there just before 8 o'clock. Hundreds of armed men are in the vicinity. Tracy was subsequently driven from the hop house and is going in the direction of the southern point of Lake Washington. The posse is close after him. Guard Carson with hounds and men has left Renton to intercept him. PREVENTED A WRECK Boy Uses Sister's Red Frock to Flag Train and Disaster is Thus Averted. New York, July 9.—Eldridge Finkle, 15 years old, and his sister, 13, saved a train on the Poughkeepsie & Eastern railroad from being wrecked by flagging the locomotive just in time to prevent it from rolling upon spreading rails, which would have thrown the engine and six cars down a steep embrankment. The children were gathering raspberries near Boston Corners, Duchess county, and the boy noticed that the rails were spread. The girl wore a red fock and, as the children knew that the train was almost due, they had a hurried consultation on the track. With the red dress in his hand the lad started up the track to meet the train. He had not gone 300 feet when it came along. It was a part of the road where fastest time is made and the train was running at about thirty-five miles an hour. The frantic waving of the red frock by the boy was enough to warn the engineer, and the brought his train to a standstill within a few feet of the dangerous trap. BARN STRUCK BY STORM. Mass of Machinery and Hay Falls to Basement and Causes Death of Two People. St. Paul, Minn., July 9.—As a result of the terrific storm which prevailed south and east of Waseka, Minn., Saturday evening the family of Adam Bishman, Sr., is plunged into the grief of a tragic death in the family. Adam, Jr., his two sisters and the hired man were in the basement of the large barn attending to the milking when the storm burst in all its fury, the barn was torn asunder and the heavy mass of farm machinery and hay with which the upper floors of the barn were filled, crashed into the basement upon them. One of the daughters was killed instantly and Adam, Jr., was so crushed that he died from his injuries yesterday. The other two occupants were rescued from suffocation only after long hours of work by the neighbors. Eight head of horses and six head of cattle were also killed. The damage was very heavy about Wanda and at Perham the storm leveled a circus tent, which caught fire from the lights. Several people were burned and bruised, but none fatally injured. MANY PEOPLE DIE FROM EXTREME HEAT. Pittsburg, Pa., July 9.—Six more victims of the heat were reported up to 1 o'clock, making eleven deaths since yesterday.

Pioneer of Frozen North Killed in New York Street Fight. New York, July 9.—In an altercation in front of the Rossmore hotel, Broadway, near Forty-second street, a smooth-faced man, said to be James S. McDonald, the famous prospector who came back from the Klondike with $15,000,-000 and untold wealth in his claims, was injured so terribly that he died in the New York Hospital. Klondike McDonald was a picturesque character, who, working as a miner at Aspen, Col., caught the Klondike gold craze at the right time and amassed a great fortune. His story was the sensation of the day. He rode in a private car, was married with great ostentation and was then forgotten. LONGER LIFE FOR THOMBS. Governor Grants a Respite TiM August 11 to Give Time for an Appeal. Chicago, Ill., July 9.—Gov. Yates yesterday granted a respite until August 11 to Louis G. Thombs, sentenced to be hanged for murdering a woman on the steamer Peerless.

Redlands, Cal., July 9.—Dr. Charles Kendall Adams, former president of Wisconsin University, who is seriously ill in this city, was pronounced past the danger point by Dr. Norman Bridge of Los Angeles after a consultation. TO SEIZE SUPPLIES Force of Moros Plot to Make an Attack Upon Train Belonging to the Americans. Manila, July 8.—News has reached here from Camp Vicars, Mindanao, to the effect that a strong force of Moros, including twenty-one riflemen, was out skirmishing to make an attack on a supply train. Troops with artillery were sent out and frustrated the attempt. The would-be ambushers were recognized by the friendly natives as part of the force of the Sultan of Bacolod, who is carrying on a successful agitation against the Americans in the country about Lake Lanao, and has sent a defiant ultimatum to the American commander. The Moros in the towns of Masieu and Bacolod are growing more aggressive. Gen. Chaffee has advised Gen. George W. Davis to disregard the insulting letter received from the Sultan of Bacolod and to remain unaggressive unless attacked or an overt act is committed. Fails to Prove Charges. The investigation into the charges against American officers and troops made by Maj. Gardener, governor of Tayabas, was concluded yesterday. In response to the invitation extended by the court of inquiry to Maj. Gardener to submit proof of his charges as to the hostility of the military officials to the civil authority, the governor of Tayabas says it is unavailable. He thanks the court but refuses its offer for him to visit any part of the archipelago for the purpose of gathering information to substantiate his charges. Accused Captain Wins a Point. The court martial which is trying Capt. James A. Ryan of the Fifteenth cavalry on the charge of having been unnecessarily severe with the natives of the province where he was stationed has decided to exclude portions of Judge Rhode's report, which forms the basis of the charges against the officer, as not bearing on the specific charges against the captain. Judge Rhode was then excused and Capt. Ryan was called and began the defense of his conduct in administering Jiminez, Mindanao. . Cholera on the Increase. The cholera is slowly increasing here. The municipal board of health is cooperating with the insular health authorities and is preparing extraordinary plans for the destruction of the filthy districts of Manila and the removal of 40,000 persons to suburban sanitary camps. DODGE THE OLEO LAW. Vegetable Coloring Matter Used or Artificial Color Sold Separately— Palm Oil to be Used. Washington, D. C., July 8.—Oleomargarine manufacturers threaten to defeat the object of the dairymen and the will of Congress, as expressed in the bill which passed at the last session taxing "artificially" colored oleo and process and renovated butler. The commissioner of internal revenue, who is intrusted with the enforcement of the law, finds that he will be restricted to its letter, and that the manufacturers, by using natural vegetable products, can give oleo a shade of yellow without subjecting their output to the prohibitive tax of 10 cents a pound imposed upon oleo "artificially" colored in imitation of butter. One of the largest concerns in Chicago manufacturing oleomargarine has struck another method of evading the law. Instead of giving their product a butter color by the use of vegetables they intend to furnish with each package of the uncolored oleo a little pellet, with instructions for using it. The housekeeper purchases the uncolored oleo and receives the pellet, and in the quiet of her homeside proceeds to give the oleo a butter color. Palm oil, a pure vegetable oil, said to be more nutritious and cheaper than cotton seed oil, rich yellow in color, which will impart a beautiful yellow to oleo, will probably be extensively used in giving it a butterlike color without enabling the commissioner of internal revenue to tax it 10 cents a pound. Commissioner Yerkes frankly confesses that he is unable to see how he can prevent the spirit of the law being violated. The law is clear and explicit, and unless some "artificial" ingredient is used to color the oleo he can only tax it one-fourth of a cent a pound. MEN TERRIBLY BURNED BY DYNAMITE EXPLOSION Pittsburg, Pa., July 8.—A premature explosion of dynamite in a blast furnace slag dump near Duquesne, Pa., today killed one man and dangerously injured four others. All were workmen engaged in the blasting of the slag. George Dezuka, aged 28 years, was literally torn to pieces. The injured men were all terribly burned and are in a serious condition. Their names are: James Clemming, foreman; John Corlass, Vincent Archer and Michael Skellish. It is believed that the heat from the slag caused the explosion. TWO BOYS ARE DROWNED One was Rocking the Boat and Finally Upset the Craft. Peoria, Ill., July 8.—Frank Cannon yesterday afternoon dragged Frank Case to death with him. They and two others went boating on the Illinois river, near the south end of the city. Case disrobed to take a swim and began rocking the boat. Cannon begged him to desist, as he could not swim, and the more Cannon begged the harder Case rocked. Finally he upset the boat, dumping all four into the river. As Cannon was about to sink he threw both arms around the neck of Case and resisted all efforts to dislodge him. Both were drowned, and when their bodies were recovered an hour later Cannon still had Case clasped around the neck. William Auer and Joseph Blondell, in the boat at the time it overturned, swam to shore, but could not assist their companions. All were about 15 years of age. A Bath on the Prairie. Col. Harry Hall of Washington says that on a journey across the prairies he stopped with a farmer for the night. He asked if he could have a bath, for he was dusty and travel-stained. "Certain." replied the farmer. Then he shouted to his son: "Jim, get the fixin's for a bath for this yer gent." Jim came back with a towel, a chunk of soap and a pickaxe. "What's the pickaxe for?" asked Hall. "Oh." said Jim, "you'll have to dam up the crick." Jacko Hilligan of Jersey City is still leading the Eastern Leaguers with the excellent average of .389.

PEACE! “Peace!” is the word, to the war-sweot pelt, rE Trat the galloping burghers bring. “Peace!” is the cry in a tone heart-felt From coster znd peer and king. “Peace!” is the chorus—: mighty voice Upraised in a ee 1efrain— As nations, a world-wide throng, rejoice— But the graves of the dead rematn. Cheers from a myriad bursting throats Greeting the welcome news. Songs in a flood of thankful notes, ‘Till even the stones enthuse. An end to the dread-pent day and sight, ‘An end to the long, long strain, An end to the battle and march and flight— But the graves of the dead remain. The rifle is mute on the Lowldered top, The evening lamplights giow: The farmer thinks on a different crop Than bullet and shell may sow. Over the veldt, all silent, vast, The vultures wheel in yaln. ‘The banquet of war is done, at last— But the graves of the dead remain. Mothers there are who n»w may sleep, Nor dream of a moaniug poy?’ - Wives who out of their ot weep; Maidens who dance with joy. But in many. a homestead tears art hot, And many an English lane, nee ee of the tidings peace comes For the graves of the dead remain. —Edwin L. Sabin in Leslie's Weekly. REWARD OF THE FAITHFUL A Dusky Tale of Love and Victory. fhe casty Diace race ove aE ee hole into which the iron digger dropped with power, was as wooden as the oaken handle of the tool itself, but the impas- sive exterior was but as the ashes that choke the mouth of the voleano—there were fires of emotion within. Ben's biue check sleeves were wet from shoulder to wrist in the vehemence of his exertions, but his hands could not keep pace with the rush of his thoughts, Herein lay his trouble: Lurinda, laun- dress at Locust Hill, going hqme from “meetin’ ” the evening before, had scorn- fully refused (for the third time) to name the day she would take him as her sec- ond husband—and he had loved Lurinda with the faithful love of a dull man long before she married Shay Beazley—yel- low-faced Shay—with whom she had led anything but an easy life until a fatal combination of whisky and pneumonia made her a widow. “Lurindy,” Ben had pleaded, “whuf fuh yuh keep puttin’ me off dat way? I’s wait en’ wait all de seben yeah yu mah’ed tuh Shay. Now Shay been dead en’ gone tuh glory dese two yeah, whuf fuh yuh g’wine mek’ me wait any longuh?” And Lurinda, tall, stern, and gaunt as a bear in spring, but to faithful Ben all that was lovely and desirable, had looked down from her superior physical and mental heights to answer: LURINDA’S REASONING. “I’s ain’ g’wine fuhgit my duty-tuh de dead tuh grat’fy de lub o” no libin’—naw suh—I ain’ nigh got de slab obeh Shay. nuh yit de coffin roun’ him paid fuh— an’ ’twell dey paid fuh, tuh de las’ cent, I ain’ g’wine let mahin’ come in my hade?!” Ben looked at the set jaw of his be- trothed with a sinking heart. Well he knew it would be many a day before Lurinda couid spare enough from her hard earnings to complete the payment on the casket and the oaken slab over Shay; she had the rent to pay and the five children to feed. Yet he dared not offer to help her, for had she not said, time and again, that she would neyer marry another man who could not give her a home, and was he not depriving himself of everything but ‘the bare neces- sities, to make slow payments on the house with the crooked chimuey at the outskirts of Little Mason? He said no more, but in humility and dejection bade Lurinda goodnight at her door, “7? waited longah fur Lurindy dan Jacob fur Rachel,” he mused, as the iron cut into the yellow clay, “en’ Lawd knows how much longah I's got tuh wait wid de poss’bil’ty 0’ a fine ‘oman lak huh, uh gettin’ uh bettuh chanst den me. The fence the heavy-hearted lover was building lay between the mghwav and a sloping pasture-field, in the upper corner of which next the road was the negro cemetery, protected by a tumble-down “worm” fence from the encroachments of the yellow Jerseys in the grass-field. The railroad lay, hot and shining, in the Indian summer sun across the southern end of the field. A Jong freight train, weighted with gray building-stone, tore by, leaving a stream of sparks and smoke in its wake. Ben wiped away the sweat drops as the stifling air grew hotter, but it was not until the two Jersey cows, with bel- Jows of fright, ran by him in a frantic rush for the great ponds which lay be- side the fence at the foot of the upward slops, that he observed that the long, dry grass, inflammable as tissue paper, was a wall of flame. : THE RESCUE OF THE SLAB, His heart leapt in his throat. Shay’s grave with its unpaid-for wooden marker was in the rude cemetery on the hill, close by the tumble-down fence with its corners heaped with dry ieaves and dead growth of goldenrod and -‘everlasting.” If that slab was burned—goodby to his hopes of Lurinda! He threw two quick glance at the coming firecloud, then looked toward the graveyard on the hill- top. Could he make it? Before three seconds were gone he had dipped himself in the pond, and with his ragged cap running rivers of waters and bis dripping coat in his hand, was run- ning like a mad thing up the road. The hot air burned his cheeks and took his breath when he reached Lurinda’s mound, bnt with the energy of despera- tion he wrenched the oak slab loose from its foundation block and wrapped his wet coat about it just as the fire leapt through the fence and caught the ever- lastings and the short grass on Shay’s grave. The stinging smoke choked and blinded him—the scorching flames licked at his hands, but he clasped his precious bur- den hard and stumbled into the road. Happily a dozen hurried steps brought him to the great pond with its waters of safety. After a time Ben crept painfully up the road to his cabin. A gaping crowd of neighbors came to exclaim over him and minister to his needs. Old Aunt dinny, Ben’s best friend, was loud in condemnation of his foolhardy feat. “Lawd, Ben, you is sho’ crazy!” she exclaimed, as she bound up his blistered hands and bathed his scorched face— “Dat nigguh Lurindy ain ’wuth no sich strivin's ez dis, no way en’ no how!

Volunteers were not lacking, and a lit- tle later, Ben, leaning on the arm of Lu- rinda. with the light of love and the fruition of hope illumining his counte- nance, walked down the road to her cab- in. A broad shaft of light from the open door fell on the coal ash path, and five little woolly heads were thrust out to welcome “Mammy.” “Chilluns,’ ‘announced Lurinda, proud- ly, as she led Ben in, “I's foteh you uh new pappy!

In a bright and interesting article in the Fortnightly Review, entitled: “Ameri- can Wives, and English Housekeeping,” Mrs. John Lane, an American woman living in London, tells how much harder and more expensive it is to keep house in England than in the United States. ‘The comforts and conyeniences at the com- mand of the dweller in the ordinary flat in this country, according to the writer, are to be had in England only in the homes of the very rich and most pro- gressive residents. Among other things she says: 2 “How I wish I could clap a big, stolid, conservative, frost-bitten English matron into a snug American house, with a fur- nace, and heaps of closet (cupboard) room, and all sorts of bells and lifts and telephones, and then force her to tell me the absolute, unvarnished truth. What would she say? I know!” Of her search for a moderate priced house in London she tells in this way: “No model fiat turning up here, we were reduced to take a house, for which we were willing to give from £150 to £200, The agony of that search and the | horror of the various mansions offered! For the first time I recognized the wis- dom that puts no clothes closets in Lon- don houses, when I think of the reposi- ‘tories of dirt they would inevitably be- come. At that time I was not on such intimate terms with the climate as I haye ‘since become, and I did not understand ‘that it is humanly impossible to rise tri- -umphant over fogs, smuts and beetles. “For my benefit grim and dingy care- takers rose out of the bowels of the earth as out of a temporary tomb (al- “Ways in bonnets), and showed us over awful houses in which every blessed thing had been carried away, even to the, door knobs and the keyholes—I Jean, of course, the. oe around the holes. Awful, closeth houses, guilt- of comfort, with “dreary grates, promising a six months’ shiver, and great, gaunt windows rattling forebod- ingly. As for plumbing—but it is well to drop a curtain over the indescribable. I do protest, however, against the peo- ple who live in these houses—houses whose discomfort an American artisan would not tolerate—looking with ineffable self-complacency on their methods, and sniffing at our American ingenuity and our determination to make life com- fortable. Of course, we got a house, thanks to no estate agent, but as we could not rent it we had to buy it—or rather the thirty-eight years’ remnant of a lease—a mysterious arrangement to an American, _ “The most obvious defect we discoy- ered in our house was that it was very cold—a universal English drawback— and the inadequate open fires seem to ne- centuate the chill. I admit that furnaces are not a crying need in England all through the winter, but from December to Mareh it is a pretense to say you are comfortable, for you are not. There is no doubt but New England has bad throat and lung trouble, yet so has Old England, and the hardening process does not save, if statistics are right. If I must take cold and die, at least I prefer to do so comfortably.” When Mr. and Mrs. Lane decided to remove the unattractive mantlepieces from the honse for which they had searched so diligently, they discovered that the English wooden mantels were “too expensive and clumsy.” The sug- gestion was made that they do the pur- chasing in New York while on the visit they were about to make. The sugges- tion was acted upon and Mrs. Lane states: “We went to New York and there we bought three wooden mantels— six feet high and six feet wide—one of the best quartered oak, of so simple and graceful a design that they are aiways noticed and admired, and these three were packed, sent and landed at our front door in London, and the price, all included, was not much more than we should have paid for’ the only one in London of which I approved.” ACCORDING TO RULE. Courting Sundays are Feature of Vil- lage Life in Holland. Holland is a place where primitive cus- toms abound. ‘Traditions are sacredly handed down and observed, and this ven- eration for ancient things has kept alive in the country what are known as court- ing Sundays. Throughout Holland the four Sundays of November are kept as fete days. They are named severally Review, Decision, Purchase and Posses- sion Sundays. On Review Sunday every- ene goes to church, and after service there is a church parade, when all the young men and maidens look at each oth- er, but forbear speaking. On Decision Sunday each would-be benedict ap- proaches the maiden of his choice with a ceremonious bow, and from her response judges whether he is acceptable as a suitor or not. On Purchase Sunday the consent of parents and guardians is sought, if the wooing during the week has been happy. Possession Sunday wit- nesses the first appearance of the va- rious lovers before the world as actual or prospective brides and bridegrooms.— Pearson’s Weekly. Story on Mark Twain. The Missouri papers are telling this story of Mark Twain's recent visit to the state: A big crowd gathered at a rail- way station to meet him. A little boy knew that somebody was coming, but he did not know Mark Twain from Bossie Francis. This kid perched. himself on top of a freight car, where he could see what happened. The train rolled in, and as Mark stepped off the people became excited and shouted, “Here he is! Here he is!’ The kid on the box car thought a great criminal had been canght, and shouted, “Git a rope! Git a rope!” Dr. Clemens laughed till the tears ran out of his eyes. MANY DASHED 10 DEATH. Electric Car Crashes Down the Mountain Side. ELEVEN PEOPLE KILLED ‘The Motorman Lost Control of His Cat and the Brakes Refused to Work. ee ee ene oe ne en en ee ee ad road late last night caused the almost instant death of eleven persons and oue victim died in the hospital here early to- day. It is believed that several other victims will succumb to their injuries. The bodies of’ many of the victims were erushed and maimed almost beyond rec- ognition and the scenes about the wreck were horrifying. The accident -was caused by a combination baggage and passenger car getting away from the mo- torman and rushing down the mountain side at terrifie speed. The brakes refused to work and at the end of the grade the heavy car crashed into a loaded open car, also de- scending the mountain. The latter was hurled from the track, turned on its side and over 50 per cent. of the passengers were injured. Those who were pinued directly under the car were crushed to death and in some instances terribly mu- tilated. The combination car also left the track and turned on its side. As the scene of the accident is remote from the city it was two hours before appliances to raise the open car and release the victims were secured. Collide on Sharp Curve. The accident happened at a sharp curve where the track turns to make the climb up the steep mountain side. ‘The wreck occurred at the end of a day of pleasure at the resort at the top of the mountain and the cars were loaded with excursionists. The car on which the dead and injured persons were riding was an oper one in charge of Motor- man Arthur Perkins and Conductor James Cameron, and the ear which was responsible for the wreck was in charge ot Motorman William Dodge. Accord- ing to Conductor Cameron, of the open ear, the closed car ran away while com- ing down the grade above the curve and collided with the open car as the latter was rounding the curve. Both cars then went down thesgrade at lightning speed. At the foot of the hill the cars came together again. Just before the rear ear had reached the one ahead, the lights in the first car went out and added ae ness to the horror. ‘The heavy double ear struck the other with such force that it raised the rear end of the first car into the air and over the right embank- ment on the side. Both cars were de- railed and the passengers were thrown in every direction. Many were killed instantly, others died from their wounds immediately afterward. Names of the Victims. The following is a complete list of dead and most seriously injured: ‘The dead, all of Gloversville: MRS. EDWARD J. BAIRD aged 68, MISS BLECTA BAIRD, 32. MISS MARGARET MAIN, 32, MRS.

Lord Salisbury Said to be Desirous of Re- tiring from Public Life—His Successor, London, July 5.—At the earliest possi- ble moment Lord Salisbury contemplates retiring from publif life. But that sev- erance from the affairs of the empire which he has so long administered is not likely to come until after the coronation and it may possibly be still further de- layed by now unseen reasons of state or politics. During the last few months the premier has more and more detached himself from the cares of office. With increasing age his dislike of publicity and dread of details which higii office- holding involves have been strengthened into an antipathy so strong as to render even conservative leaders less importunate in their demands that he remain pre- mier. Those who have recently been brought into contact with the aged statesman privately comment on his ab- sent-mindedness, which is only overcome by great effort when it is absolutely nec- essary for him to deliver a public utter- ance on a question of importance. Peace in South Africa having been procured, Lord Salisbury is said to consider the crowning of the King as the moment when his services to the nation may most fitly be ended, he curiously veiled intimation in the Times this morning, when, referring to the appointment of Schomberg MeDon- nell, principal private secretary of Lord Salisbury, to succeed Lord Esher as sec- retary of his majesty’s office of works, that paper said it thought it doubtful if Lord Salisbury will try to fing a new crete adding “that the Brpenionene of Mr. MeDonnell cannot fail to revive the rumor of the premier’s resignation after the coronation,” is the only notifi- cation here that the often-repeated ru- mor is now on the verge of becoming a fact. The Westminster Gazette (Lib- eral), while not professing to know the truth or otherwise of the ‘Times’ rumor, sadly admits that if Lord _ Salisbury retires it will not bring the Liberals into power and prophesie= that the “Uniorist party, if Salisbury goes, will probably move along the line of least resistance, make Mr. Balfour premier, leave Mr. Chamberlain at the colonies and exchange some old lamps for new by the process which is called reconstruction. How long the — recon- structed government might last and whether Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chamber- lain might not change places before the end of Parliament are questions which at present are too speculative to an- ewer’? Fatal Termination of Balloon Ascension —Parachute Cords Probably Gave Way. Mount Vernon, l., July 5.—Robert Holbrook, aged 23, a St. Louis aeronaut, who made a balloon ascension at the celebration here yesterday, was found dead a mile and a half from the starting point of the balloon. One theory is that the parachute cords gave way and that the parachute itself was turned wrong side out. It is estimated that Holbrook fell a distance of from 400 to 500 feet. Lafayette, Ind., July 5,—Jack Win- ters, an aeronaut from Jacksonville, Ill., had made an ascension here, expecting to descend by his parachute. He leaped out, but the repes caught and he could not open the parachute nor loosen it from the balloon. He struck the ground, but was rendered unconscious for a time. Physicians think he will be all right in a few days. KID CURRY GANG. Believed to Have Perpetrated the Re- cent Robbery of Rock Island Express Train. Chicago, I., July 5.—That the mem- bers of the Kid Curry band of bank and train robbers, wanted for alleged com- plicity in the recent Union Pacific holdup perpetrated the robbery of the Rock Is- land tee train at Dupont, Ill., Thurs- day night, is believed probable by detec- tives, 100 of whom are working on the case today. It was officially stated today by an offi- cer of the United Siates Express Com- pany that the robbers secured only $50 worth of jewelry. They carried away a package of worthless vouchers and other papers, but overlooked a package containing $100,000. eo MAN SHIPPED BY EXPRESS. Starts on a Journey in a Box, but is Dis- covered and Arrested. Niles, Mich., July 5.—As the American express’ fast westbound train reached Marshall on the Michigan Central, Mes- senger George Hall was sorting express matter for transfer when he turned over a box which struck bis experienced touch as being suspicious. The box was shipped as merchandise from Boston and was ad- dressed to partes in Cheney, Wash. Mes- senger Hall tore the cover off the box and found a man within. The messenger searched the inmate of the box and find- ing him unarmed, replaced the cover, and at Kalamazoo the fellow was arrest- ed. He had prorigine in the box and stated that his friends shipped him as merchandise becaues he had no money and desired to go to Washington.. He is a foreigner. AMNESTY FOR FILIPINOS, President Puts Philippines Under Civic Control. PARDON FOR REBELS. Praises the Troops Who Served in Cuba and Also Those in the Archipelago. ee Se Le ee ee ee Roosevelt has formally declared peace re- stored in the Philippines, placed the islands under civil control, and extend- ed general amnesty to the Filipinos who have been in rebellion, These three things, marking one of the most impor- tant chapters in Philippine history, were accomplished through the issue of three separate orders and proclamations—one by the President over his own signature, extending amnesty; one through Secre- tary Root by the President's order, re- lieving Gen. Chaffee from his duties as military governor, and a third which takes the shape of a general order ad- dressed to the entire army of the United States, in which Secretary Root takes oceasion to express the President’s high appreciation of the work it has accom- plished, both in Cuba and in the Philip- pines, 1 Eo amnesty proclamation is as fol- lows: oe the President of the United States—A ‘roclamation: ‘Whereas, many of the inhabitants of the Philippine archipelago were in insurrection saree the authority and sovereignty of ¢ kingdom of ce at divers times from August, 1896, until the cession of the archt- pelago by that kingdom to the United tates of America, and since such cession many of the persons so engaged in insur- rection have until recently resisted the an- thority and sovereignty of the United States, and ‘Whereas, the insurrection against the au- thority and sovereignty of the United States is now at an end, and peace has been established in all parts of the archi- pelago except in the country Inhabited by he Moro tribes, to which this proclamaticn does not apply; and Whereas, during the course of the insur. rection against the kingdom of Spain and against the government of the United States persone engaged therein, or those in sympathy with and abetting them, commit- ted many acts in violation of the laws of civilized warfare, but it is believed that such acts wete generally committed in ig- nuorance of those laws, and under orders issued by the clvil or military insurrection- ary leaders; and, Whereas, It 18 deemed-to be wise and humane, in accordance with the beneficent purposes of the government of the United States toward the Filipino Ts, and con- ducive to peace, order and loyalty among them, that the doers of such acts who have not already suffered punishment shall not be held criminally responsible, but shail be relleved ‘from punishment for particl- pation in these insurrections, and for un- lawful acts committed during the course thereof, by @ general amnesty and pardon; Now, therefore, be it known, that I, The- odore Roosevelt, President of the United States of Ameica, by virtue of the power and authority, yested in me by the Consti- tution, do hereby proclaim and declare, without reservation or condition, except as hereinafter provided, a full and complete pines and amnesty to all persons in the Paililppine archipelago who have Sat on ok ed in the insurrection aforesa! or who have a! ald and comfort to persons par- tieipat ing in said insures eat sae the of- fenses treason or sedition, for all offenses, political in their character, com- — the course of such oo: purstant to orders issued Li ie civil or military Snieesertany authorit or which grew out of internal policed feuds or dis- sensions between Filipinos and vo lgheomt or the Spanish authorities, or which result- ed from internal pensest feuds or dissen- sions among the Filipinos themsetves dur- ing either of sald insurrections.

Traverse City, Mich., July 5.—A spe- cial Pere Marquette passenger train made up of an engine and two cars was run into late last night at Williamsburg by the regular main line flyer. Engineer Roy Pickett, of the special train, whose home is in Grand Rapids, jumped and struck his head on a switch standard. He was killed instantly. Fireman Dwyer also jumped and was severely in- ‘jured. None of the pasengers were hurt and the financial loss is not heavy. ee WILKIE IS WORRIED. Little Protection for President in Tem- porary White House. Washington, D. C., July 5.—Chief Wil- kie of the secret service says he will be glad when the President gets safely set- tied in Oyster Bay. The reason for Mr. Wilkie’s neryous- ness lies in the fact that while transact- ing business in his temporary residence the President—uniess he should choose to climb behind a desk or crawl under a hed—is necessarly in plain view of a dozen or more windows, “Why, goodness me,” said the secret service officer who has been on guard around the President’s office since the white house was vacated, “a man could sit in ane one of those windows on H street and pick off the President with a rifle bullet and make his escape without any one being in the least aware where the shot came from. The President, al- ways careless of his personal safety, has been in the habit of ee at the win- dows or out in the yard with the mem- bers of the cabinet and other callers. It’s a mighty lucky thing he is going to ve. HASTENED BY THE KING. Edward Overrules the Doctors and Says Coronation will Not be Delaved. London, July 8—The news that the coronation of King Edward was to ba held before the middle of August was published in America before it was known here. But the London Times and other papers this morning confirm the Associated Press announcement. Front the same excellent source the Associated Press learns today,that the pressing for- ward of the coronation was due to the personal insistence of the King. His doc- tors were at first opposed to such an early date, but the King declined to agree to any other plans, and the doctors, final- ly realizing that more danger was likely to arise in opposing his majesty on this Point, agreed to it. They now see the King was right and that it will be far better for him to get through the turmoil of the coronation as soon as possible than to have it hanging over him for months. King Edward has determined to break ng the court at Buckingham palace until after the coronation. He may go on board his yacht for a few days’ cruise, but he is more likely to re- main in London until the affair is over and then take a a holiday. The bulletin regarding the condition of King Edward posted at Buckingham palace at 10 o'clock this morning says: “The King’s progress is all that can be desired,” WOMEN BARRED OUT. Turners Refuse to Admit Them to Mem- bership in Society—Would Tax Church Property. Davenport, Ia., July 8—Women were barred from membership in the North American Turnerbund by a vote of 183 4-5 to 1541-5, after a iong and heat- ed discussion. For some time there has been agitation looking toward the admis- sion of women to the. order, and advo- cates of the measure came to the na- tional convention prepared to make 2 hard fight. A two-thirds vote is neces- sary to make the change. Women now heve societies of their own which are affiliated with the Turners. An important place was given in the proceedings to a roseinn to favor the taxation of chure eae to which is pledged the support of astern dele- gates, in whose states much Turner s0- ciety property is exempted from taxa- tion. The Peomaitnon was generally sup- ported by Western delegates. It was decided not to hold the next national turnfest until 1905, thus defeat- ing the hopes of St. Louis and Chicago delegates for 1904. With great enthusiasm the bund Sr ed a resolution favoring free text books. Pittsburg secured the next business con- vention in 1904, Indianapolis was con- tinued as the business headquarters, the Indiana district to elect head officers. The delegates were entertained last night with an excursion on the Missis- sippi river given by local Turners. SHORTS SQUEEZED. July Corn Sells at 90 Cents, the Highest Price Reached Since 1892—No Excitement in Pit. Chicago, Ill.,.July 8.—Shorts in July corn were squeezed again today and the cornered delivery went to 90 cents, the highest price since 1892, when the mar- ket touched $1. July closed at 84 cents yesterday, an advance of 7 cents over the previous close. Opening bids today were from 84 to 85 cents. Shorts were the bidders, and by running the market up to 90 cents a little before noon they _got appproxi- mately 250,000 bushels. It is estimaced that in selling this much the manipu- lators of the market made a profit of $60,000, as most of their line, estimated at 15,000,000 bushels, was purchased between G1 and 65 cents. No excitement was evident in the pit, although all were interested in the problem of where the Gates coterie would let the price advance to before easing their grip. The price is already far past the maximum at which Phillips allowed shorts to settle in his first and most successful deal. Shorts who have covered have paid heavily for the privilege and those who are still on the wrong side of the market are gen- erally believed to be in the most serious predicament of a decade. July corn closed at Sic. PRESIDENT AT WORK. Official Business ‘Transferred to Oyster Bay from Washington—An Anti- Trust Measure. Oyster Bay, L. L, July 8.—A tremen- dous rain storm kept the President in his Sagamore hill home early today. During the morning hours he was busy in his library with Secretary Cortelyou attending to a mass of official mail and disposing of some routine departmental matters that had been transmitted to him from Washington. A rumor gained currency today that John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, would be here this after- noon; but if he should come it would be on his own responsibility and without having made an engagement to see the President. It is quite likely that in a week or ten days a conference will be held with the President by Representative Littlefield of Maine with respect to the anti-trust bill which Mr. Littlefield is drafting. This interchange of views will be made the basis of the first draft of the measure. While the executive offices in the town now are in possession of a corps of clerks the President has let it be understood that he will spend litfle time in them, TWO VOLCANOES ARE IN ACTIVE ERUPTION.

The French Academy of Medicine, at the unanimous request of the Chamber, has: issued a report strongly condemning the drinks used as “aperitifs,” or appetiz- ers, by the bulk of the French middle and lower classes. After careful analy- sis Dr. Laborde, who was specially com- missioned, declares that every quality of absinthe contains poisonous elements. He discards the fallacy that vermouth, or noyeau, is harmless. Chartreuse is.dan- gerous in a lesser degree, and ought only to be used in tiny medical doses for spe- cific purposes. French gin is a form of wood spirit, and the superstition which makes “vluneraire” a popular remedy in certain emergencies is perilous to hu- man’ life. The Legislature ought, ac- cording to the report, to forbid the fabri- cation of these liquors and the immedi- ate enforcing of the law of 1846 against absinthe. Dr. Laborde considers that the fiscal revenue loses as much as it gains by fraud or adulteration, and by_ the criminal or mental heredity caused by the terrible spread of alcoholism ‘in France.—London News. ~Johnson commonly required three or four months for the composition’ of a drama. He generally revised it after the reheerssls had begun, adding here and toting sway there, as his judgmeut and *aney dictated. ——————————— f in it MAIL ORDERS SOLICITED. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED.

A most interesting story was told a Banner reporter concerning the origina] possession of the island of Martinique. ‘Phe story concerns Mrs. S. C. Reese of this city. whose grandmother once owned a greater part of the volcanic isle. Mrs. Reese’s grandmother was Mme. ;Gouvain, who was closely related in marriage to Count de Trobriand of France. She was an intimate friend of Josephine de Beauharnais, who after- ward became the wife of the great Na- poleon, and she left France on the night on which Napoleon married the Austrian princess, Marie Louise, and came to America. Not satisfied with her possession in the Frerch West Indies after her coming to America, she traded her land on the island of Martinique to Count d‘Estang. the gallant French officer to whom were }given valuable lands in America for hie service to the colonies during the revo- jution. Most of these lands were in the Southern stares, and 20,000 acres were situated. in Georgia, some of which em- braced ’the present site of Athens, and others of which Jay near Callulah Falls. - Mmé, Gouvain ‘was advised by her agent to sell her possesions in Martin- ique ‘on acount of the voicanic condi- ‘tion of the country, and time has proved the wisdom of her choice. She was a very Wealthy woman and in close confi- dence with the powers of the monarchy of Frence. Mrs. Reese has now in her possession a most gorgeous dress of her grand- ‘mother, which was worn at the mar- riage of Napoleon to Josephine Beau- harnais and which is a priceless relic. The story of the division of the Gou- vain estate, formerly belonging — to @Estang, is one of piecemeal separation and division until. it became possessed by hundreds of relatives of the noted French woman, Mrs. Reese possesses much information in the shape of pa- pers, maps, ete., concerning the island of Martinique, which. descended from its original owner. Dyeing of Milk. Evidence is accruing that the practice of adding artificial coloring matter tc [milk .is increasing. Samples are com- monly. met with thus colored to give them a rich but false creamy aspect. The nat- ural color of milk~bears no relation nee- essarily to the amount of cream present. Annatto is the dye commonly used, and it is fortunate that it is harmless. Cer- tain coal-tar dyes have, however, been detected in milk, and among them the sodium salt of dimethylanilineazobenzene- sulphonic acid.—Pearson's Weekly. _——— 2 He was Bunkered.

Pride of a New Orleans Man, Who Has One of Them. “Here is a cigar which was made for the Czar of Russia,” said an euthisias- | tie plebian, as he yarved a cigar at least seven inches lon~ -;y. +f his pocket, “and [ll bet its one ef 4 finest on the globe. It was given to me by a man who just dropped in from Havana, and he got it from a cigar firm there which has the contract for making all the cigars for the Czar. It is a_ special brand, of course, and great care is exer- cised in making them. Making: cigars for princes and potentates and the crowned heads is a great business in Ha- vana, and incidentally I may remark, from what well-posted men told me, that they turn the royal contracts to good use in more than one way. You see, it is a good advertising feature. It gives the cigarmakers a prestige which they cannot get in any other way. King Edward of England has his cigars spe- cially made. By the way, that reminds me of the fact that we frequently find cigars in this country which are fre- quently labeled with the English coat of arms, just as the cigars are labeled which are made specially for his majesty the King of England. “Of course, they are not the same cigar. It is simply a catch system. All the cigars ‘that are made for crowned heads by Cuban manufacturers are ‘bought by the men they are made for, and scrupulous care is exercised in the “matter. The only men who ever get any of these cigars either get them on orders ‘from royal personages or they get them as guests of the royalty. A particular kind of tobacco is used in the manufac- ture of these cigars. Take a case for ‘intance, of the Czar of Russia. Cigars that are made for him are branded with the Russian coat of arms, and he buys all the cigars the factory can make out ‘of the material and in the way specified ‘in his order. But, of course, the cigar I have is one of the lot, because it comes ‘from the factory. I suppose it was ueezed out of the box in some way. ‘They had .one over, and I was lucky enough to get it. FE expect to lay off for na day so I can smoke it at.my pleasure, -and'then I will be able to tell whether the Czar has an educated and refined taste for tobacco.—New Orleans Tmes- die bea German Carp Take the Hook. Numbers of German carp were caught with hook and lien along the river front Saturday morning. some of them meas- uring from 12 to 18 inches in length and selling readily at 10 cents each. Hereto- fore the few fishermen who delighted to sit around the docks down town and in- dulge in their favorite pastime were re- warded only by landing an occasional catfish, hence the news that good big carp were biting in the various docks brought large numbers of amateur ang- Jers to the river front, with more or less success. It is estmated that about 300 fine carp were caught during the day and the yeteran piscatorialists upstrect were ‘put to it” to explain the phenome- non. dome said the catch was due to.a stock of small carp placed in the river ‘years ago, but the most spigneible theory, ‘and one advanced by John J. Fowler. was that the supply is from some valua- ble fish pond in the upcountry, which was probably broken by the recent heavy rains.—Wilmington (N. C.)

Madison, Wis., July 16.—[Special.] It was exactly 12:15 when Chairman Bryant called the delegates to order, and in almost a moment quietness reigned. Never were delegates more orderly. After the invocation by Rev. Dr. Butler, on motion the reading of the list of accredited delegates was dispensed with. Gen. Bryant appointed Zeno M. Host secretary, F. E. McGovern first assistant secretary, C. O. Maas second assistant secretary, E. E. Smith official stenographer, William Helm sergeant-at-arms and F. W. Gilman assistant sergeant-at-arms. Judge Bancroft was then named as temporary chairman and immediately began to address the convention. It was 12:45 when Chairman Bancroft [Name] concluded. Senator McGillivray immediately secured the floor and moved that all resolutions and amendments offered be referred to the committee on resolutions without being read. It was unanimously adopted. Chairman Bancroft then ordered the roll call of congressional districts for announcement of the committees on resolutions and permanent organization. Gen. Bryant informed the convention that the committee on resolutions was at liberty to meet in the Senate chamber. Gen. Winkler presented the Spooner resolutions, and then Chairman Phillipp of Milwaukee offered another set, both being referred to the committee on resolutions without comment. A motion to adjourn to 3 o'clock was declared lost, although a majority seemed to think it was carried. A motion to adjourn until 4 o'clock carried. The New State Central Committee.

Bradford, Hudson. Opening of the Evening Session. At 8:15 Chairman Bancroft rapped the convention to order for the evening session, and after making a number of announcements called for the report of the committee on resolutions. Chairman Chynoweth responded. He said Secretary Edmunds had not arrived, but he was expected to reach the hall presently. A few moments later, before the delegates had time to become restless the secretary of the committee arrived. He was escorted at once to the platform He read the report amid a quiet that would seem could hardly be possible with such a vast assemblage of sweltering people. The quiet was soon broken, however, when Mr. Edmunds read that portion of the report in which Senator Spooner's name was mentioned in complimentary terms. A thousand voices rent the air with shouts and round after round of applause greeted this allusion. The platform pleased the multitude and it gave vent to pent up feelings in a most robustious manner. But this shouting and cheering was eclipsed when the name of Gov. La Follette was mentioned. It was worse than bedlam let loose and the cheering was long and continued. The enthusiasm was intense and it was reaching a high pitch rapidly. The delegates were in excellent humor and a spirit of good cheer prevailed up to this point. Then it was, at the conclusion of the reading of the report, that the first gun was fired by the friends of Senator Spooner, who wished an unqualified endorsement both of his past record and of him as a candidate for re-election. J. W. Wallrich, presented the minority report. The minority was signed by Mr. Wallrich, F. C. Winkler and A. A. Williams. Winkler's Appeal for Spooner. Gen. Winkler of Milwaukee said in justification of his course in signing the minority report that from the President down to the humblest laboring man, the people of the North and of the South, all want him in the United States Senate. "It is upon his record that this demand for re-election is based," he said. "It is not necessary and it is an insult to a man like Senator Spooner to exact pledges." There was a disapproving demonstration at this statement, but Gen. Winkler insisted that if Senator Spooner should be endorsed at all it should be on his record. It was evident that the delegates were tired of debate and the chairman put the question, the roll being called by counties. The result was $353\frac{1}{2}$ voted for the substitute and $709\frac{1}{2}$ voted against it. It was declared lost. The platform which was finally adopted is as follows: We, the Republicans of Wisconsin, in convention assembled, reaffirm our support of the principles of the party as represented in the last national platform and as loyally exemplified in the policies of administration by William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. Lamenting the enduring loss to the country in patriotism and statesmanship through the untimely death of President McKinley we testify our confidence in the ability of his successor worthily to administer the high trust; and we record our appreciation of his splendid courage and unyielding integrity made manifest in his official conduct. We approve the public service of Wisconsin representatives in both houses of Congress. We especially commend the official career of Hon. John C. Spooner who, by his notably able, conservative and patriotic course upon questions of national and international importance, has become recognized as a leader in the United States Senate. We again express our regret for his announced determination not to serve the state another term in the Senate, and should he now find it possible to reconsider this decision and express his willingness to stand as a candidate in harmony with the sentiment and in support of the platform principles here adopted by Wisconsin Republicans in state convention, and for the election of a Legislature favorable to their enactment into law, his decision would meet the general approval of Republicans everywhere, and we pledge him the enthusiastic support of the party for his re-election to the high position which he has filled with such distinguished ability and with such great honor to the state and nation. And in case Senator Spooner shall not find it possible to again be a candidate for United States senator, we demand that all candidates for this position shall endorse the principles of the platform and favor the election of a Legislature pledged to enact these principles into law. We adopt the last Republican state platform and reaffirm its principles. We endorse and approve the administration of Gov. Robert M. La Follette as conspicuously able, honest, impartial and even mindful of public interests. We commend his patriotic devotion, his long-continued and courageous effort in behalf of good government. The just, fearless and conscientious performance of his plain duty to secure the fulfillment of pledges made to the people has received the most emphatic approval of the Republican party of Wisconsin, and we take great pleasure in recording that approval in convention. His renomination by overwhelming majority is the best assurance of loyalty and faithful adherence to principle that could be given to the people by any party. We regret the failure of the last Legislature to enact those laws pledged to the public by demands of the Republican party through platform in its last state convention. We condemn the pernicious activity of federal officials in this state, in disregard of civil service laws, in attempts to forestall and control the convention action of the party to which they owe their preferment, and in assisting professional lobbyists before the Legislature and elsewhere in the work of defeating legislation in repudiation of party pledges. As representatives of the Republicans of Wisconsin, chosen in a contest and after a campaign which has left no reasonable ground for doubt, we declare that equal and uniform taxation of all taxable property and the right of every citizen to an equal voice through a direct vote in the nomination of candidates for office, are issues of supreme importance in the ensuing state campaign. Therefore, we repeat that the great reformation effected in our general elections through the Australian ballot inspires us with confidence to apply the same method in making nominations so that every voter may exercise his sovereign right of choice by direct vote without the intervention and interference of any political agency. We therefore demand that caucuses and conventions for the nomination of candidates for office be abolished by legislative enactment, and that all candidates for state, legislative, congressional and county offices be nominated at a primary election upon the same day by direct vote under the Australian ballot. We heartily endorse the careful, conscientious and judicious work of the tax commission, as shown by its reports and recommendations to the last Legislature, and give assurance of support in the advancement to completion of its difficult task. We renew the demands of the party for the enactment of such laws as may be necessary to compel each individual and every corporation transacting business within the state—except such fraternal and other associations as are now exempted from taxation by law—to bear a justly proportionate share of the burdens of taxation. To the immediate accomplishment of this end the Republican party of Wisconsin stands pledged. And we ask that all candidates for Senate and Assembly at the coming election be called upon by the voters to give assurance of their support of measures in accordance with these pledges made by the party, and we here record our censure of those who for purely selfish purposes have obstructed the earlier fulfillment of these party obligations. Minority Report on Spooner. Following is the minority report on the endorsement of Senator Spooner: Strike out all relating to United States senator and insert in lieu thereof the following: We approve the public service of Wisconsin Republicans in both houses of Congress. We especially commend the official career of Hon. John C. Speener, who by his notably able, conservative and patriotic course upon questions of national and international importance has been recognized as a leader in the United States Senate. We recognize with proud satisfaction his preeminent position in the councils of the nation and that the highest public interests as well as the wishes of the people demand his continued service in the Senate of the United States. In full accord with this sentiment we endorse the Hon. John C. Spooner unconditionally for re-election. Minority Report on Primary Elections. Gen. Winkler presented the following minority report on the primary elections resolution in the platform: The undersigned, members of the committee on resolutions, report an amendment of the majority report as follows: Strike out all relating to primary elections and in lieu thereof insert as follows: Resolved, that the subject of reform in our system of nomination for office is one requiring the careful and thoughtful consideration of the Legislature. We favor such legislation as will secure to every citizen the freest expression of his choice in the selection of candidates of his own party, and the right of political parties, subject to proper regulations of law, for an honest vote and an honest count, to control their own primaries and conventions. Political parties are voluntary organizations, which the people who compose them have the right to govern in their own way, but legislation is justified to enforce opportunity for a full and free vote at their primaries and to favor giving effect to such vote. The right of political parties or any political organization to get in convention for the consideration of public questions, the adoption of platforms and the designation of candidates for office, is a right inherent in American freemen and should not be prohibited by legislation enacted for it. THURSDAY'S SESSION. Madison, Wis., July 17.—Little time was lost by the convention in getting down to business this morning. The suffering because of the heat yesterday afternoon and last night was sufficient to make the delegates anxious to rush matters and conclude the business with as little delay as possible, so they began to gather early. gavel fell sharply and the convention came to order. Matheson Names Whitehead. Four minutes later the roll call for nominations for governor began. Responding to the call of the Fourth district, A. E. Matheson made his way to the platform to present the name of Senator Whitehead amid great applause. When Senator Whitehead's name was presented a roar went up, the Stalwarts arising and shouting for their favorite. Chynoweth Nominates La Follette. The tall form of H. W. Chynoweth arising in response to the call of the Third district presaged the presentation of the governor's name, and for the first time this morning did the applause come near equaling the wildness of last night. It was 9:50 o'clock when Mr. Chynoweth began to talk. When Mr. Chynoweth concluded there was an interesting scene. Mrs. La Follette, who was on the platform, seized Mr. Chynoweth's hand and shook it warmly. It required twenty-five minutes to poll the vote. In the Fifth district five votes were cast for Gov. Scofield and in the Sixth district three for W. H. Froelich. The total vote cast was 1064, there being one delegate absent. R. M., La Follette received 790; John M. Whitehead, 266; Edward Scofield, 5; William H. Froelich, 3. Hats and fans went up into the air on the announcement of the result of the ballot. Made Unanimous. With a roar of applause the informal ballot was unanimously made formal. A committee of five was appointed to wait on the governor and bring him before the convention. Senator McGillivray moved that nominating speeches be limited to ten minutes and seconding speeches to five, which carried. which carried. The chair appointed Senator J. H. Stout, Gen. C. F. Winkler, J. C. Kerwin, Senator O. G. Munson and E. L. Philipp to wait on the governor. The convention then proceeded to the nomination of a lieutenant-governor. nomination or a lieutenant-governor. A. H. Long of Madison nominated J. O. Davidson of Crawford county, referring briefly in doing so to his record as state treasurer. A delegate in the Ninth district wanted the nomination by acclamation, but objection was made. Attorney F. C. Boden of Milwaukee placed the name of H. August Luedtke of Milwaukee before the convention for lieutenant governor, as a man whose record and character would bear the closest scrutiny, and a man who has been opposed to everything in form Republican but in essence Populistic. This remark was greeted with hisses and shouts of disapproval. Davidson Nominated. The vote for lieutenant governor was practically the same as that for governor, the Stalwarts supporting Luedtke and the La Follette men Davidson. The main difference in the ballot was due to the fact that some of the delegates were obliged to leave the hall because of the intense heat. It was high noon when the balloting was completed for lieutenant governor. Because of the torrid atmosphere in the convention hall many of the spectators had left the building so that while every bit of available space was taken when the convention came to order there was lots of room at noon. Varsity Yell for La Follette. It was exactly high noon when Gov. La Follette appeared. In an instant the convention was on its feet. With an enthusiasm never excelled even on a victorious football field, the varsity yell was given and then thrice repeated. For a moment there was quiet when Chairman Bancroft presented Senator Stout, who in turn did likewise with Gov. La Follette, presenting him as not only the present, but the future governor. When the governor stepped forward the varsity yell again broke forth, this time even with greater vigor and wilder enthusiasm. Six times was the well-known cry repeated and ending with a mighty roar. For nearly ten minutes the ovation continued, delegates climbing on chairs, waiving hats, fans and coats in giving vent to wildest feeling. Meanwhile the governor stood smiling continuously bowing. La Follette Speaks. The governor spoke with great emphasis and was frequently interrupted. "Give it to 'em, Bob," a delegate would shout. The governor would smile and then when the applause subsided, proceeded to do so. Gov. La Follete spoke as follows: Gentlemen: I am informed by your committee of my nomination for governor of the state of Wisconsin by the Republican party which you represent here in convention. I accept the nomination with a deep sense of the honor which is conferred and of the duty which is imposed. I am grateful for the approval of the acts of the administration by the Republican party for which you are authorized to speak, and to which you have given strong expression here today. Called for a second time to represent the Republican party as its candidate for governor, permit me through you to convey my profound appreciation to your constituents for this evidence of their continued confidence. When William McKinley was officially notified of his renomination for the presidency, he was able to say that faith with the people had been kept; that the pledges made to the people by the Republican party had been redeemed. It has been the proud boast of the party from Lincoln to Roosevelt that its obligations were always honored. A citizen of this country could at any time ascertain the lines upon which the Republican party would legislate by consulting its platform declarations. It never equivocated; it never dodged; it never straddled. In plain terms it presented its promises. In good faith it redeemed them. Political platforms must be upheld if political parties are to be maintained. Their declarations are the expression of the deliberate judgment, the consensus of opinion, the common intent, the generally accepted and well understood policy of the party on important issues. Platform pledges express the convictions of the party and are the inducements offered by the party for the votes of the people. They are the party's promise to do specific things. They are the voter's guide in determining with what party he will affiliate. They constitute a written contract deliberately entered into with every man who casts his vote for the candidates of that party. Neither the party nor the official representative of the party can with honor change or repudiate that contract. The candidate who is unwilling to be bound by the platform of the party has no moral or political right to accept a party nomination. If having accepted a nomination he finds that he is not in accord with the pledges of his party, if he cannot carry out its promises as an official, if he decides to be independent of platform obligations, he is then in honor bound to so announce, at once to withdraw as a party candidate and stand, if at all, upon his individual declaration as a candidate for office independent of party support. These propositions require no argument. They are the unwritten but unchangeable law of political ethles. They enforce themselves between the candidate and the party, and the official and the public. That the platform promises of the Republican party have been broken and its honor stained in Wisconsin, no man is permitted truthfully to deny. After years of discussion of just and equal taxation and nomination by direct vote, no party platform pledged to these issues could have been adopted unanimously two years ago, unless that platform proclaimed the will of the Republican party. That many legislators remained loyal to the party and faithful to their constituents for the enactment of these pledges into law, battling for the right and steadfastly endeavoring to hold the party erect in honor, will never be forgotten by the people of Wisconsin. Opposition to that platform ought to justify itself upon the plea that the pledges were not well understood and did not represent the real sentiment of the party. That claim will not be made again. For eighteen months the debate has been on. If the arguments have not always been addressed to reason. If the discussion has not always been parliamentary, at least the lines have been clearly drawn and the count finally made. There can be no misunderstanding as to the Republican platform of 1902. Whatever difference of opinion individuals may have heretofore entertained, as Republicans they must now acquiesce in the expressed will of the party. It has spoken in no uncertain voice for the enactment of these platform declarations into law in twentythree of the thirty-three senate districts and seventy of the one hundred assembly districts of the state. It has proclaimed by overwhelming majority, from Lake Superior to the Illinois line, that its promises shall now be made good to the last letter. Twenty-nine years ago, before a cultured audience in the Assembly chamber of the capitol, Chief Justice Ryan made a warning forecast. I see him now as then—his bowed figure, his transparent face, his luminous eyes, through which, undimmed with age, shone the genius of one of the great intellects of the last century. Again I hear his ribrant voice across almost a generation of time: "There is looming up a new and dark power. I cannot dwell upon the signs and shocking omens of its advent. The accumulation of individual wealth seems to be greater than it ever has been since the downfall of the Roman empire. And the enterprises of the country are aggregating vast corporate combinations of unexamined capital, boldly marching, not for economic conquests only, but for political power. We see their colors, we hear their trumpets, we distinguish the sound of preparation in their camps. For the first time really in our politics, money is taking the field as an organized power. It is unscrupulous, arrogant and overbearing. Already, here at home, one great corporation has trifled with the sovereign power and insulted the state. There is great fear that it and its great rival have confederated to make partition of the state and share it as spoils. Wealth has its rights. Industrial wealth has its honors. These it is the duty of the law to assert and protect, though wealth has great power of self-protection and influence beyond the limits of integrity. But money as a political influence is essentially corrupt; is one of the most dangerous to free institutions; by far the most dangerous to the free and just administration of the law. It is entitled to fear, if not to respect. The question will arise, and arise in your day, though perhaps not fully in mine; which shall rule—wealth or men; which shall lead—money or intellect; who shall fill public stations—educated and patriotic free men, or the feudal serfs of corporate capital?" How prophetic his words! How prophetic his words: The greatest danger menacing republican institutions today is the overbalancing control of city, state and national legislatures by the wealth and power or public service corporations. This is not more marked with one political party than with another. It deals with public officials. It makes no political distinctions. It cannot be cured by denunciation. It cannot be defended by the cry of "purist" or "populist" or "demagogue." It goes directly to the root of government. It threatens to sap the life of American citizenship. The voter elects the candidate; the corporation controls the official. It leaves the citizen the semblance of power which is actually exercised against him. The problem presented is a momentous one. It calls for no appeal to passion or prejudice or fear. It calls for courage and patriotism and self-sacrifice. It calls for solution. Shall the American people become servants instead of masters of their boasted material progress and prosperity—victims of the colossal wealth this free land has fostered and protected? Surely our great cities, our great states, our great nation, will not helplessly surrender to this most insidious enemy which is everywhere undermining official integrity and American institutions. Surely the party of Abraham Lincoln which abolished slavery, which kept the United States undivided upon the map of the world, will not abandon its traditions, its memories, its hopes, and become the instrument of injustice and oppression. It will do its plain duty now, as it did in that greatest epoch of the country's history. It will meet the issues with rectitude and unfaltering devotion, strong in the faith of ultimate triumph. Gentlemen of the convention, the contest for equal and just taxation and nominations by direct vote is not yet completely won. The nomination which you have just tendered me is the unmistakable, the emphatic demand of the Republican party for the prompt enactment of these laws. But between that expressed will and the rlpening of these measures into law, there are caucuses and conventions for the nomination of candidates for the Senate and Assembly. When the Legislature convenes there are the same forces to be met and contended with that led to the undoing of the last Legislature. I appeal to you, and through you to the people of the state, to be vigilant to the last hour. Do not relax your efforts until this good work is finished. Let no man be named for the Legislature who is not fully in accord with the Republican platform. Name only men who are willing to go on record for this legislation, who are free from all entanglements or complications that may force them to vote contrary to desire and conscience. Wherever senators or assemblymen already have been nominated, let them openly and publicly proclaim their position with respect to these issues. This is equally the right of the party and the public. Gentlemen, the contest through which we have just passed strengthens the pillars of government by the people and for the people. It teaches the sacredness of public obligation. It elevates moral standards in public life. No Quarrel with Individuals These are lessons which we should cherish. Let all else of this contest be forgotten. It does not signify who began it, or why it was begun. It has been decided. Let that suffice. I do not treasure one personal injury or lodge in memory one personal insult. With individuals I have no quarrel and will have none. The span of my life is too short for that. But so much as it pleases God to spare unto me I shall give, whether in the public service or out of it, to the contest for good government. Every pledge of the platform which you have adopted here today has my unqualified approval, and, if elected, I shall, in so far as the direction of public affairs is committed to me, faithfully strive to carry out these pledges. I accept a nomination firm in the resolution to discharge every duty that devolves upon me conscientiously, sustained by the abiding conviction that the Republican party will redeem its pledges and press on to other victories. If again chosen chief executive of this commonwealth, it will be my highest endeavor personally, and with the aid of my associates in office and the co-operation of the legislative department, to give the people of Wisconsin an efficient and economic state government, honestly administered in a spirit of justice to all men and to all interests. The late adjournment and the hot weather made the delegates slow in assembling for the afternoon session so that it was 2:30 o'clock before Chairman Bancroft brought his gavel down. There were few spectators in the building, the long line of chairs in the rear of the delegates' seats and in the galleries being mostly vacant. On motion of Fred Lorenz nominations for secretary of state were called for. In order to hasten matters nominating speeches were limited to five minutes and seconding speeches to two minutes, and the number of speeches be limited to one nominating and one seconding. Houser Placed in Nomination. The Seventh district was called before there was any response and then J. W. Whelan of Mondovi arose to nominate Walter L. Houser of the same town. Farr Withdraws. When the Tenth district was reached Assemblyman Cady of Marshfield, standing on a chair, announced that the name of Joseph R. Farr would not be presented to the convention. Mr. Farr, he said, decided to withdraw from the contest this noon, but he was anxious to thank his friends and assure the convention of his loyalty to the party and his warm support of the platform and the nominee. Senator Mead of the Eleventh district was roundly applauded when he took the platform to place Rock J. Flint in nomination. On the informal ballot Walter Houser received 639 votes and Rock Flint 423. The vote for secretary, like that for lieutenant-governor, was practically the same as that recorded for governor, the Stalwarts voting for Flint. The informal ballot was declared formal and Walter Houser of Buffalo declared the nominee for secretary of state. Kempf Placed in Nomination. At 3:30 o'clock the chairman called for nominations for state treasurer. Peter Koehler of Milwaukee presented John J. Kempf. In so doing Mr. Koehler told of the political career of Mr. Kempf and said one of his essential characteristics was loyalty to his party. A. W. Pott of Sheboygan nominated Joseph G. End for state treasurer as a representative of a section famous for its cheese, chairs and children, claiming recognition at this time because of the remarkable growth of Republicanism in Sheboygan county. Jardine is Urged. In a voice that could not be understood by half the delegates, a delegate from Fond du Lac nominated Leander Ferguson of Brandon. E. E. Brown of the Eighth district pleaded for recognition for Waupaca county, one of the strongest Republican counties in the state. Senator O'Neill, in behalf of the Eleventh district, nominated L. A. Clausen for statetreasurer. The result of the ballot for treasurer was announced as follows: Total number cast, 1061; Ferguson, 5; Claussen, 27; Kempf, $614\frac{1}{2}$; End, 414. The nomination of Kempf was then made unanimous. At 5:10 o'clock nominations for attorney general was called for. Mr. McDowell of Racine nominated C. C. Gittings of Racine. Mr. Bashard nominated Martin Bergh of La Crosse. F. A. Tucker of Clark county nominated L. M. Sturdevant of Neillsville. Mr. Pamperin of Oconto presented D. G. Classon. Sturdevant Victorious. For attorney-general, W. C. McDowell placed in nomination C. C. Gittings of Racine, Mr. Boshard of La Crosse named Martin Bergh of that place, Mr. Pamperon of the Eighth district advocated D. G. Classon of Oconto, and Mr. Tucker named L. M. Sturdevant of Neillsville. Mr. Gittings subsequently withdrew in favor of Mr. Sturdevant. The result of the ballot for attorney-general was as follows: Gittings, 3; Bergh, $125\frac{1}{2}$; Sturdevant, 702; Classon, $210\frac{1}{2}$. Sturdevant was declared the nominee of the convention. Cary Defeats Harvey. For superintendent of public instruction L. E. Gettle of Rock county nominated Prof. C. P. Cary. State Superintendent L. D. Harvey was named by George H. Buckstaff of Oshkosh. W. D. Hoard seconded Harvey's nomination. Delegate Cady of the Ninth district seconded Cary. The vote resulted: Cary, 564½; Harvey, 465½. The informal ballot was made formal and Mr. Cary was declared the nominee. Thomas for Railroad Commissioner. M. E. Dillon of Ashland nominated F. O. Tarbox of Ashland for railroad commissioner. R. A. Nye named Jonas Swenolt of Shawano county. D. E. Jones of Bayfield advocated Nels Nelson of Washburn and Delegate Peterson nominated John W. Thomas. Mr. Williams of Fond du Lac spoke for Hugh A. Winslow of Fond du Lac. The name of A. W. Anderson of Grantsburg was withdrawn. The vote resulted as follows: Tarbox, 315; Nelson, 1; Thomas, 601; Winslow, $ \frac{1}{2} $ ; Swenholt, $ 93\frac{1}{2} $ . The vote was made unanimous in favor of Mr. Thomas. Host in Spite of Broken Slate. Gen. Bryant nominated Zeno M. Host for insurance commissioner, Robert Keith of Milwaukee spoke for Robert T. Hazelwood and A. H. Smith of Sparta made a strong plea for J. E. Broadwell. Host was made the nominee by the following vote: Host 696, Hazelwood 232, Broadwell 72. The convention adjourned sine die at 8:30 p. m. La Follette 790 Whitehead 266 Scofield 5 Frochlich 3 For Lieutenant Governor— Davidson 783 Luedtke 275 Secretary of State— Houser 626 Fllnt 435 Attorney General— Sturdevant 701 Classon 231 Bergh 132½ State Treasurer— Kempf 614½ End 414½ Clausen 27 Ferguson 5 Superintendent of Public Instruction— Cary 573 Harvey 465 Railroad Commissioner— Thomas 602 Tarbox 315 Swenholt 102½ Winslow 5½ Wilson 1 Insurance Commissioner— Host 696 Hazelwood 241 Broadwell 72 Bryant Chairman Again. Before adjournment, on motion of Mr. Frear of St. Croix county, Gen. George E. Bryant was unanimously chosen chairman of the state central committee. BLUNDERING COURTESY. Excessive Kindliness of Heart Productive of Amusement. Excessive kindliness of heart, when allied to a blundering courtesy, is occasionally productive of an amusing incident. Of such is the following: A president in recent times of one our royal colleges was noted for the possession of a trim little yacht, which he was fond of sailing in one of the reaches of the River Thames. One day the president had the misfortune to capsize his craft, with the consequent result of complete immersion. He was immediately assisted ashore and a change of clothing provided at an adjacent boathouse; this, however, did not include a hat of any description. The president, who is an old man, and correspondingly bald, stood shivering, his scant hair uncomfortably stirred by the breeze. His plight was observed with respectful compassion by one of the students of the college who had witnessed the catastrophe, and offered his own headgear. The president, however, seemed reluctant to accept it, saying: "If I take yours, what will you do?" "Oh, sir," said the student, "it doesn't matter for me. I've got hair on my head." This statement was accepted as final by the president, together with the cap, and he laughed heartily at what, after all, was not wholly a one-sided joke, for the consternation of the student may be better imagined than described.—Candid Friend. He Found a "Curio." Seven years ago a man, in passing a rag and bone shop in the Paris slums, saw an old panel lying among a lot of cast off clothing in the window, and being a collector of curios, he went in and secured it for the trifling sum of 3 francs. He took his purchase home, and when it had been cleaned he was astonished to see the signature of Rembrandt, with the date 1629 in one corner. Experts proved that the panel was indeed the work of the great master, and shortly afterward the owner refused £4,000 for the curio which the poor shopkeeper had long been unable to get half a crown for.—London Tit-Bits.

Miss Brown of La Crosse Makes Four Unsuccessful Attempts. IS DECLARED INSANE. First Tries to Cut Throat, Then Takes Poison—Attempts to Drown Herself. La Crosse, Wis., July 8.—[Special.]—Miss Hattie Brown, age 26, formerly of Trempealeau, from which place she came to La Crosse some time ago, has been sent to the Mendota asylum for the insane after four different attempts to commit suicide. The first time anything wrong was discovered was a couple of days ago when her parents discovered her running around the house with a carving knife. She attempted to cut her throat, but was frustrated and attempted to slay her saviors. A short time later she tried the carbolic acid route, but was discovered again. Then she rushed down through town and attempted to find relief in the deep Mississippi river, but was caught while making ready to leap into the cool, inviting waters.

REFUSES TO PAY TAXES ON FISH IN HATCHERIES. H. C. Pierce, Residing Near West Superior, Declines to Pay Amount Assessed. West Superior, Wis., July 9.—[Special]—Can fish in a private hatchery and in private ponds be assessed and taxed? That question is likely to be taken into the courts here for determination. The town of Nebagamon, in this county, and H. C. Pierce, president of the Mexican Central railway and a resident of St. Louis, disagree upon the question. The assessor of that town put Mr. Pierce down on the rolls this year for $35,000 worth of property in the shape of fish. Mr. Pierce has a private hatchery, larger than any in the state, a few miles south of Nebagamon on the Brule river, and has been hatching fish there for the past few years. He has several fine ponds filled with them and it is claimed that the stock is worth fully the amount alleged by the assessor. When Mr. Pierce paid his taxes this year, however, he refused to pay on the fish, claiming that the town could no more tax them than it could tax wild animals that he might have fenced in on his place for his own pleasure.

During the night the lake rose four inches and today continues to raise as the flood comes in from the hills and marshes.

The large new barn of Thomas Wood was blown down and some cattle injured. Along the lake shore are numerous rowboats with oars and fishing tackle, which shows that their recent occupants must have had a narrow escape. At Bellevue five men were out in boats 200 yards from the shore when the storm struck them. Their boats were capsized, but all managed to reach the shore after a hard fight. At Rocky point the Aspirant was blown off its cradle and damaged somewhat. The damage at the beach was exaggerated and only the pavilion was wrecked.

Outside Dealers will be Required to Pay $500 License Fee to Do Business. West Superior, Wis., July 7.—[Special.]—"Pay Up or Get Out." That is the ultimatum quietly given to the outside breweries operating in the city by Mayor O'Hare last week. The mayor said nothing about the matter, but told each agent of a brewing concern that he must pay into the city the regular $500 license fee for saloons and liquor establishments by tomorrow or quit the business in this city. It is expected that there will be one or two quit the business, some will fight the proposition, while others will pay up. There are nine or ten Milwaukee, La Crosse, St. Louis, Duluth and other outside brewing firms operating in the city, and should they all pay it means in the neighborhood of $5000 to the city. However, it is not expected that all will pay but that on the contrary there will be something of a fight on the part of some of the men representing the brewers. GREEN BAY FLOODED. WITH BAD MONEY. Counterfeit Dollars are Abundant in the Towns of Brown County—Suspects Being Watched. Green Bay, Wis., July 7.—[Special.] Counterfeit silver dollars have been circulated in farming towns in the vicinity of Green Bay within the last few days. The design of the spurious dollars is almost perfect, but otherwise the bogus coin is a very-crude imitation. Some of the dollars are made of lead unalloyed. Others are cast of an alloy of lead and silver and have the ring that is found in the real article. There is a roughness in the surface of the counterfeit coin that is easily noticed. District attorney Cady has received numerous complaints of the workings of the counterfeiters, but probably will take no action beyond reporting the matter to the treasury department for investigation. In two instances the counterfeit money was passed at right-time celebrations of the Fourth of July in country places. F. Wittig took in twenty-three of the dollars and Joseph Wattama of Hebel's Corners took in fifty-two of the dollars. QUEER FREAK OF LIGHTNING. Peculiar Accident Happens to Andrew Wedlake of Dodgeville.

Foreigners Have Been in Habit of Raising Disturbance When They Came to Town. La Crosse, Wis., July 7.—[Special.]—The race war between Americans and Assyrians, which culminated in the riot Saturday night, has caused such intense feeling on both sides that it is expected that other troubles will occur before the matter is settled. The leading participants of the Saturday night riot were brought into court today. Jack Murphy, Abe Lockman and Louis Wachter, the three Americans, the worst cut up by the Assyrians are out today, the stab wounds not being serious. The story as told by the Americans is that the Assyrians who have come into town three or four hnudred strong in the past couple of years, claim absolute ownership to that part of town, which they inhabit and where they have bought much property. The immediate cause of the trouble Saturday night was the refusal of a party of Assyrians to let Hans and Carl Koehr get a drink at a public artesian fountain on the street corner. This brought on blows and the Assyrians called for help and were answered by a hundred dusky men armed with clubs and knives appearing from the neighboring buildings. The Americans, too, were reinforced and a pitched battle with knives and clubs between the warring factions was the result. First the Assyrians were vanquished, but they gained more reinforcements and charged the Americans, gaining a temporary victory. The Americans, however, finally outnumbered and overpowered the Assyrians and beat some of them into insensibility. Their names cannot be learned, as they were dragged back to the nearby houses and hidden by the Assyrians. Severa shots were fired, out no one hit. The Assyrians were free with their stillettos and many Americans were badly cut, but not seriously. A platoon of police stopped the rioting and sent the Assyrians to their homes. During last night several appeared at one of the police substations, stating that someone was shooting into their houses. The police, however, were unable to locate the parties using the firearms. Feeling runs high between the warring factions. The trouble is the outgrowth of former minor brushes and it is feared will yet result in bloodshed. There were at least 300 participants in the riot Saturday night and the streets were jammed with fully 800 spectators. The Assyrians held a mass meeting at a house on Mill street, Sunday, but refuse to state what transpired. They say it was a meeting of one of their secret societies. A second riot was narrowly averted here last evening by the police. A bus load of Assyrians passing down Mill street, caused a renewal of the trouble of Saturday evening. The Assyrians were attacked by a mob of about 100 men and boys. The police arrived in time to avert any serious trouble. MILWAUKEE SELECTED.

SALE OF A HEART. BY J. TORREY CONNOR. / The ball is over, in a pretty boudoir, lighted only by a taper and the flames that flicker on the hearth, the belle of ‘the evening recalls her triumps. She ee wheeled the easy chair within the circle of firelight, and its fitful gleams ‘reveal her, wraithlike, in the white bali dress that is scarcely whiter than the face above it. An hour ago, one of a brilliant thron«, her glancing feet kept time, unwearie with the measures of the latest waltz. An hour ago! Yet the cheek that is pressed against the downy cushions has lost its bloom; yore is the sparkle fron her eyes, and the crimson roses on her breast are drooping, dying. She holds in her hand a jewel casket, and slowly, with half-reluctant’ admira- tion, lifts from their satin nest a string of glowing rubies, laying them against her_bare white throat. “Fit for a princess,” she murmurs: “but what a price to pay! I am to tram- ple my heart underfoot, forsooth; and ‘all that the world—my _world--most prizes, is mine. To be admired, courted, ‘the observed of observers, is as the very breath of life to me. Why do I hesitate? With his name, his millions, there are no heights in the social scale that 1 would not dare. And yet—what did I read in the bold gaze that followed me everywhere tonight? Not love. Passion, admiration, it may be—love wears not ‘the guise of a serpent seeking its prey. Ah! well. He wishes a handsome figure- head for his establishment. I long for wealth and ere barter one sees every day. So shall it be.” The flames die out upon the hearth, and amid the gray ashes a single ember glows. The woman shivers, murmuring: “How cold it has grown! I seem to see phantom faces on every side—his face, as I saw it yesterday. One moment his eyes met mine as my carriage whirled by, and oh, the reproach in that glance! Enough of this. I will ring for my sleeping draught and drink oblivion.” Her hand seeks the bell to rouse the sleeping maid; she hesitates, then lifts to her lips the flowers dropping on her breast. “Send back to me one little rose,’ he said, ‘that I may know I can hope.’ Ah, Robert, my love, my own—once I thought the world well lost, gazing into your earnest eyes!” “It seems so long ago, that happy sum- mer. “Do you remember, dear, as I do, that quiet country lane where the wild roses ran riot? And there was the lilac-scent- ed graden where our mornings were passed, and the lake where we gathered water lilies. I was Marion to you—never the society butterfly. Though you wooed not boldly, I well knew the words you longed to speak; and often I pictured an- other and a better life, when I should place my hand in yours, and we should go forth inte the world together. — But that is past; why dally with fate! Sleep is not for me this night, until the words that seal my destiny are penned.” Again her hand is on the bell; then, turning, she seats herself at the escri- toire, 'The trim maid who enters noiselessly in answer to the summons marvels much at the carelessness of her mistress, as her glance falls on a chain of rubies, trailing its glittering length upon the hearthrug. And with the crimson roses resting above her heart, the maiden writes.—New York Daily News. A GREAT SALT FIELD. How Product is Obtained in the Middle of the Colorado Desert. In the middle of the Colorado desert, a little to the north of the Mexican bor- der, and 264 feet below the level of the sea, lies a field of crystallized salt more than a thousand acres in extent,,present- ing a surface as white as snow, and be- neath the noondare glare of the sun so dazzling that the naked eye cannot stand its radiance. It stretches away for miles and miles about Salton, Col., an ocean of blazing, blistering white. Here daily throughout the year men are at work overturning the great depos- it with massive plows and scrapers, get- ting it into great piles preliminary to put- ting through the refining pie ‘The salt plows used to secure the harvest are great four-wheeled implements, driven by steam and managed es two men. The salt crust is thrown up in parallel ridges, then laborers with hoes work it to and fro in the water, washing out the dirt, preliminary to stacking it in mounds to be taken to the mill. _ Salt springs in adjacent foothills are constantly contributing to the deposit, | and so heavily laden are they with almost pure salt that the plow has hardly passed on before a new crust has formed in the furrow left. This fact renders it un- necessary to operate more than a small portion of the vast deposit. At present only ten acres are worked. é As may be supposed, work in these fields is performed under the most try- ing conditions. No white man can stand the intense heat, and for this reason the work is done wholly by Japanese and by Coahiuila Indians. Of these the Indians are by far the better adapted to the work, the Japanese performing only one portion, sewing the sacks in which the salt is shipped. The atmosphere, laden as it is with particles of ae gives rise to a painful thirst, and the only available drinking water comes from a single well. It is warm and ill tasting. | Beautiful mirages frequently appear above the great salt field in the dayne, sky pictures of magnificent cities and flower-dotted, tree-shaded fields. The moonlight, too, produces wondrously beautiful effects upon the great field of gleaming salt. For several weeks in the year the thermometer on the salt fields averages 140 degrees, and the reflection of the sun produces a glare like that from a furnace. The deposits vary in thickness from 10 to 20 inches, and form a solid erust over the great marsh. It is estimated that about 700 tons are now lowed up daily —New York Tribune. Uses Mast for a Smokestack. A New York. yacht owner, W. G. Jameson, is having built for him by De- siguer Fife, who fashioned Shamrock I. for Sir Thomas Lipton, a shallow draught motor schooner of about forty tons which has many origina) features. The chief one consists of making an. ex- haust pipe of the mast, which is, hollow, thus doing away with the necessity of a smokestack. The eseape valve of the motor has been Jed into the foremast. and the vapor will thus discharge itself into the upper air. Outwardly this mast has all the appearance of an old-fash- ioned wooden spar, whereas it is a tube of light but finely wrought steel. sheathed with yellow pine. The boat is sparred for a big sail plan, and, judging from the stepping of the main mast, she fis to be thoroughly modern, insomuch pice the greater part of her wings will be in the mainsail. eee BOY CROESUS.

Apropos of some of the legends and superstitions that have been quoted in connection with King Kdward’s post- yee coronation, the Marquise de ontenoy tells this story relating to the fate Sir Joseph Yorke: “Lady Yorke Was at a concert one afternoon in Lon- don when she suddenly saw the figure of her husband berore her dripping. with water. The illusion was only mo- mentary. But it was so remarkable that she became alarmed and went hurriedly away. Just as she was leaving she met an acquaintance, who remarked to her: ‘I have just seen Sir Joseph, but he was in such a hurry _that I could not speak to him.’ Lady Yorke went homie trem- bling with melancholy forebodings. The next day there came news tbat the yacht in which Sir cone had been sailing on the Solent, with some friends, had been struck by lizhtning, sunk and al! hands drowned. This story is as. well authenticated as any tale of the super- natural can be.” A Counterblast Against Fireworks.

Very few Deorls know how or where German street bands spring from, but they may be interested to know that it is a regular business, carried on by agents who are of the same nationality and who are fairly well established on this side. Most of the men who come over are from the Black Forest and have a little knowl- edge of brass instruments, and they im- mediately make for an agent of this de- seription. One of these agents keeps all kinds of brass instruments in bis house and could turn out his German bands by the dozen to anney the poor, suffering rate payers of the district. There may be many more, we know, who may have commenced in the same way before they appeared as full-blown professionals.— Leslie’s Weekly. pathy ONES SS Do Your Feet Ache and Burn?

When cars have to pass, the motorman ‘of one merely has to remove his trolleys from the wires for a moment while the other car slips past. The ability to change direction within limits, of course, will be necessary to allow passing other vehicles on the road. The basic idea of such a line is not & new one. As far back as 1882, Siemens & Halske ran a-carriage through the streets of Berlin by. means of a suspend- ‘ed wire.
