: , . ' was testing Dolliver's heart with a
stethoscope as the senator sat in a
chair , the heart suddenly stopped beat
ing. The physician shook his steth-
. ' oscope and thought it was not work
ing. Then he looked into the states
man's face and saw his eyes staring
, , off into space. Mrs. Dolliver had just
\ stepped into the door of the room to
.speak to her little son George when
death came. The physician told her
simply that her husband was dead.
Not a tremor of the body marked the
passing away of one of the greatest
present } day statesmen of America.
He had just finished a recital of his
physical } condition during the lay , in
saying he.had not been feeling as well
as usual , and th6 physician with his
stetlfoscope had counted fourteen reg
ular strokes of the heart and had told
' ' the senator. "That's good : , the most
: , I've been able to get is seven. " Two
more beats of the herat and two very
. faint 'ones again and Dolliver was
dead. .
Dolliver the past week had suffered
from regurgitation : of the blood ]
through the valves of the heart back
i Mnto the lungs causing labored
breathing and bleeding at the mouth
and nose.

MAKES PLEA FOR BEVERIDGE
Roosevelt Plunges Into Indiana Cam.
paign and Tells People Why Sen-
ator Should Be Returned.
Indianapolis , Ind.-Theodore Roose-
velt plunged into the Indiana cam-
paign Thursday with a trip across the
state , in which he made a vigorous
plea for votes to send United States
Senator Albert J. Beveridge back to
the ; senate.
The last speech of the day from the
balcony of the Hotel English here was
delivered before a crowd of. 50,000
people. *
From the time the colonel got on the
back platform of his private car at
Covington , just across the border line
from Illinois , until he left Indianapolis
he urged the throngs to elect the
whole Republican state ticket so that
a legislature would be put in that
would support Beveridge.
The ex-president went to the utmost
lilmt in indorsing Beveridge. He gave
him credit for having initiated ' the
fight against the beef trust that re
sulted in the passage of the pure rood
law. Without the amendments put in
that bill by Senator Beveridge , the col-
onel insisted , there never would have
been any pure food legislation passed *
that was worth anything.

SEVEN TOWNS OFF TH&-MAP
'i'i\ , .
Fifty Miles of the Rainy i . Lake Coun-

for the Stricken District-Whole
Families Are Destroyed.
-
Rainy River , Ont.-It was estimated
Monday that at least 500 lives and
$700,000,000 worth of property had
been lost in the forest fires prevail-
ing in this region.
The tales of horrible suffering
brought in Monday by refugees is al
most beyond narration. Oscar John- . . .
son , wife and three children stood
five hours in the Baudette river duck-
ing their heads when the heat became
too intense. They say the water in
the river was heated to an uncomfort
able temperature and that steam rose
from the surface.
It will be some time before the loss
of life is known even approximately ,
and in fact It may never be known.
The residents of Rainy River , Ont. .
are doing everything possible to as-
sist the homeless residents of the two
American towns.
Poverty of the worst kind Is added
to the woes of the throngs that flocked
into International raIls and Rainy
River. /
There were hundreds of homes de
stroyed in the territory , and as there
are no roads In the district save for
the trails through the bush , It is
, feared that many lives have been lost
that will not be reported for weeks.
The state of Minnesota is sparing
no expense to check the fire. The
state fire warden is mustering every
man he can procure , and he is in-
structed to use every possible means
at his command , regardless of cost.
Rainy River , Ont.-Fire rangers
throughout the forest fire territory be-
tween this place and Warroad , Minn. ,
sent in reports Tuesday that 139
bodies had been located. Of these but
90 were recovered and only 60 have
been identified.
While fires can be seen to the east
and southeast , their progress is not
dangerous to human life. Fire rang-
ers here complain that the heat of
the surface and gases arising there-
from prevent their proceeding far
into the masses of charred tree limbs
and burned underbrush. The air in
the devastated district is still smoky
and no further attempt I will be made
to locate bodies until re-enforcements
and relief are secured.
Five nurses , a doctor , 50 cots and
thousands of loaves of bread and
thousands of pounds of meat have
reached here from Winnipeg.
The streets of Rainy River are be-
ing patrolled by 60 armed guards un-
der Fire Warden Hurst and national
guardsmen ' from Bemidji , Minn. ,
guarded old Baudette. The funerals
of 19 fire victims have been held here.
The burned area is at least 36
miles wide and many of the settlers
are new1 to the country and compara-
tively unknown locally. Much of this
land was thrown open to homestead
entry this summer and many of the
settlers have gone in far beyond the
roads , where they had only a path to
reach their place. It may be months
before they are discovered , and some
of them may never be found.
Many bodies of fire victims have
been robbed. This caused an order
of "Shoot to kill , " which applied to
all the burned \ district
. Arrested for Mall Fraud.
On a charge of using the mails in
a scheme to defraud , H. Brooks , man
ager of the Redeemable Investment
company of Boston , a concern having
capital stock amounting to $10,000,000 ,
was arrested.

Although the tobacco trust , Stand
ard Oil , railroad and the corporation
tax cases are regarded as the'most
important ones now before the Su-

lars are involved as a result of the
livision [ of Virginia in its original
state. The suit consists of an at-

in Virginia at the time of the division.
There are two peonage cases ap
pealed by the state of Florida ; the ap-
peal of a number of railroads in the
western territory in the suit brought
jy them against the railroad commis-
sion of Missouri ; three criminal cases
brought by the United States on ac
count of alleged violations of the pure
oods : and drug act ; the appeal of the
Jnited [ States from the United States
circuit court for eastern Missouri in
its suit against the Western Terminal
issociatlon of St. Louis ; ; which Is

ompany : of New York which grew out
of articles printed in the New York

GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE IS PA
RALYZING BUSINESS.
.
Labor Leaders Boast They Will Make
Tie-Up Cqmplete - War : Measures
Are Adopted.
Paris.-The railroad strike has com
pletely tied up the Northern , Eastern , ,
Western State and Paris , Lyons and
Mediterranean lines , and the situation
has assumed a most serious aspect
The leaders of. nearly every class ol
workingmen 'are threatening to call a
general industrIal' ' strike that will par
alize business in > every section of the
country. ,
The electricians and the employes
of the omnibus , metropolitan and sub
way transportation lines of this city ,
Wednesday considered the advisabil
ity of seizing this opportunity to
launch a strike for the redress ol
long-standing grievances. The situa
tion throughout the republic is re
garded as grave.
The railway companies are ma .
king a desperate struggle , to maintain :
servico with the aid of military en
gineers and men from the navy , but
are meeting'with little success.
The president of the grain syndi :
cate said that the stock of' flour on ]
the Paris market did not exceed 75-
000 quintals which is less than eieht :
of
days' supply for Paris.
This does not Include the flour in
bakers' hands , which , however is not
large. The bulk of -meats , vegetables
and fruits come in over the Western
and Paris , Lyons and Mediterranean
lines. "
The National Railroad union , com
prises only 100,000 of the total of
300,000 men employed in the railway ;
service , but a large majority of the +
nonunion men are participating in the +
strike. .
The government is adopting meas
ures similar to those practised in
time of war. " '
The calling of 30,000 of the strikers :
for army reserve duty is not likely to
have any Immediate effect on the
situation , as the military code allows
a man a delay of 15 days before re
sponding to the call.
The strike leaders boast that soon
the tie-up will" be complete throughout
the country. Premier Briand has is
sued a public statement in which he
denounced the strike as an insurrec
tion , purely , built up on criminal :
foundations. .
The garrison of Paris has been rein
forced by troops from the provinces
and all the principal points along the
railroads effected by the strike are
guarded.
Many telegraph wires were cut In
cluding several connecting French
points with London and Brussels.
President Fallieres hurriedly re
turned from his estate in the south
and conferred with the ministers
The problem of food looms ominously.
Already the market is pinched. Enor-
mous quantities of milk and fish en
route from Normandy and Belgium
are stalled at points along the North
ern road.
