Billy McCord was np from Oolum

to pack np the stock of dxy good be
longing to Geo. Lewis, which will be
shipped to Albion and become a part
of Morehead & Co.'s stock. Mr. Mc

Dr. G. W. Bartlett, who has been
practicing here for a couple years past
and apparently was doing a good bus

last week. Since then his wife and
household furniture have also gone.
Jnst why he went, or whv he went so
precipitously, we aon't know, xne
many rumors are conflicting, and it is
immaterial which one is correct.
Likewise the place where he has gone
is a subject of controversy among the
gossips. We have plenty of good doc

SCORE OF PEOPLE KILLED IN
F'GHTS WITH TROOPS.
FRESH TROUBLE IN WARSAW
Operations in Manchuria at a Stand
still Father Gopon Said to Be in
Switzerland -Russia Cannot Now
Consider Peace.
Su Petersburg. Feb. 8. For the mo
dent the startling crime ia Helsing
fors has withdrawn attention from the
strike situation throughout Russia.
The events in Poland and the Cau-
ca.:s. however, are quite serious
enough in themselves. Disorders in
lhe smaller industrial towns of Po
land havo added more than a score
to the total of the killed and troops
have been sent to Warsaw and Kutuo,
eighty-three miles west of Warsaw, to
quell uprisings there. The strike con
ditions in the Caucasus are "oecoming
worse and traffic of the Trans-Caucasian
railway is interrupted.
A large nail factory in the Vassill
Ostroff section was burned and re
ports of incendiarism were current.
The central committee of the Rus
sian Social Democratic Workmen's
party has issued a violent proclama
tion, which has been widely circulated
in the factories of St. Petersburg,
calling on the operatives to array
themselves under flfe red flag of so
cial democracy and prepare for an
armed renewal of the January demon
strations. The proclamation bitterly
assails church and state and the
higher classes, and concludes: "In
order to gain victory we must organ
ize a vast workmen's army. Then
again will we start for the palace to
present our demands, not with ikons
and not with supplications, but with
arms in our hands under the blood red
standard of the Russian Social Demo
cratic party."
The renewed peace talk, resulting
from the visits of Ambassador Cassinl
and Minister Takahira at the state
department in Washington and the
conferences of Ambassador Durand
and Mr. Spring-Rice, first secretary of
the British embassy at St. Petersburg,
with President Roosevelt on Sunday,
finds not the slightest echo in official
and diplomatic circles in St. Peters
burg, where Emperor Nicholas' oft-repeated
declaration that the war must
be carried to a satisfactory conclusion,
remains the keynote of the situation.
The present current of press and pub
lic opinion in Russia appears to be
setting towards peace. The newspa
pers no longer proclaim the necessity
of continuing the war at all costs.
Father Gopon in Switzerland.
St. Petersburg. Feb. 8. Father
Gopon. the leader of the workmen of
St. Petersburg, in the affair of Jan. 22.
is now known to be In Switzerland.
ASSASSIN IS NOW IDENTIFIED
Man Who Killed Finnish Official Is
Former Student.
Helsingfors. Finland. Feb. 8. The
assassin of Soisalon Soiningen, pro
curator general of Finland, who was
shot and killed at his residence by a
young man dressed in an officer's uni
form, has been identified as Karl
Lenard Hohenthal. formerly a student
at the Imperial Alexander university
here. Hohenthal, who laterly had
lived in Stockholm, returned to Fin
land Jan. 13. He maintains obstinate
silence under examination. Senator
Ackerman, who has assumed the du
ties of procurator of the senate, is
directing the investigation of the
crime. The wounds inflicted on the
assassin by the son of Soiningen are
not of a dangerous character.
Situation at Lodz.
Lodz. Feb. S. It is estimated that
the number of men at work is slightly
less than yelerday. The workmen
appear to be effectually terrorized by
the strikers. The manufacturers are
holding conferences daily, but thus
far have been uable to agree upon a
definite policy. The governor main
tains a firm position between the par
ties and declares that if the manu
facturers close their shops he will re
gard them and treat them exactly as
strikers. Strikers attempted to rescue
an arrested comrade who was in the
hands of the soldiers. The latter
fired, wounding three of the strikers.
A strike was declared at Wloclawek.
RATE BILL DEBATE IN HOUSE
McCaU of Massachusetts Points Out
Objections to Measure.
Washington, Feb. 8. The feature
of the debate in the house on the
freight rate bill was the speech of
McCall (Mass.). who, in opposing the
proposed legislation, declared that it
was not to be imagined that the su
preme court would stand between the
government and its victim, following
that utterance up wiih the statement
that the courts usually reflected the
policy of the party in pewer.
The views of the speakers as to
legislation needed were many and
varied, but with the exception of Mc
Call and Sibley (Pa.), all were agreed
that the time had arrived for the
granting of relief. The names of
William J. Bryan and President
Roosevelt figured prominently m tne
discussion, the allegation being made
from the Democratic side of the cham
ber that the president in his recent
message to congress on the subject
of rate legislation only reiterated the
views of Mr. Bryan and the declara
tions of the Democratic party in three
national platforms.
Disastrous Blaze at Manning, la.
Manning, la., Feb. 8. Fire in the
business district of Manning, la.,
caused a loss of $35,000. For a time
the fire threatened to destroy the
business section of the town. Fire
departments from Carroll and Manilla
assisted in bringing the flames under
control. The principal losers are:
Voss & Frahm. saloon, $6,000; Leo
Gilbert Furniture company, $C,000;
Mutual Telephone company, $3,000;
Marshell department store, $18,000.
MEAT PRODUCERS CONVENE1
Corn Belt Association of Iowa Is Hold
ing Meeting at Des Moines.
Des Moines. Feb. 8. The second
annual meeting of the Corn Belt Meat
Producers of Iowa convened here,
with 100 delegates present. Commit
tees were appointed and the balance
of the day devoted to discussion of
various subjects.
Ex-Senator Harris of Chicago, prime
mover in the reorganization of the
National Live Stock association at
Denver, who was turned down by the
executive committee upon his invi
tation to the Iowa body for affiliation
with the National association, stated
that he was not here to interfere
with the Iovra body, but that he mere
ly "dropped in" in passing through
ihe city. Secretary A. E. de Riqules
of the American Caftle Growers' asso
ciation, an off-spring of the national
association, has been invited to ad
dress the Iowa body.
Former Governor Van Sant of Min
nesota and Governor Cummins of
Iowa spoke on the railroad rate issue.
They urged farmers and shippers of
Iowa to assert themselves for freight
rate regulation and hekl out hope
that by so doing they would get what
they wanted. The association de
clared Itself in favor of the Townsend
Esch bill in congress, denounced rail
road passes and asked their prohi
bition and indorsed President Roose
velt and the United States supreme
court. The convention also declared
that the Iowa delegation in congress
does not hear the voice of the people
as it should. The attendance at the
convention was large and representative.
RAILROAD BILLSJN NEBRASKA

Lincoln, Feb. 8. A stringent anti
pass bill was introduced in the lower

ance of railroad passes, to all except

SENATE PASSES THE JOINT
STATEHOOD MEASURE.
BILL NOW GOES TO CONFERENCE
Provides for Admission of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory to the Union
as a Single State and New Mexico
as Another Arizona Must Wait.
Washington, Feb. 8. After a con
tinuous sitting of almost nine hours
the senate passed the joint statehood
bill. As passed, the bill provides for
the admission of the states of Okla
homa, to be composed of Oklahoma
and Indian territory, and New Mexico
according to the present boundaries,
with Arizona eliminated.
The long session was charactered
by exciting incidents and many sur
prises. Beginning promptly upon the
convening- at 12 o'clock, the senate
proceeded to consider the various
amendment which had been suggest
ed by the committee on territories
and which had been passed over.
One of the first of these taken up was
the amendment prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquors, in what is now
Indian territory, for the next ten
years, and this was displaced with a
substitute offered by Gallingcr. which
extended the amendment to the entire
state for a period of twenty-one years,
and this was adopted.
fThe first surprise of the day came
when the committee accepted For
aker's amendment providing for a
separate vote by each of the terri
tories of Arizona and New Mexico on
the constitution to be adopted by the
proposed state of Arizona. That pro
vision had scarcely been made a part
of the bill when Bard presented his
amendment, which had been original
ly offered by Patterson, and which
provided for the admission of New
Mexico as a state without the addi
tion of Arizona. This amendment
proved to be the point around which
all the subsequent proceedings of im
portance revolved. It was at first
adopted by the close vote of 42 to 40.
This vote was taken while the senate
was sitting in committee of the whole
and was reversed in the senate proper

INVESTIGATINGJTOCK YARDS
Joint Committee of Missouri and Kan
sas Legislatures at Kansas City.
Kansas City, Feb. 8. A joint com
mittee from the legislatures of Kan
sas and Missouri met at the stock
yards and questioned the president of
the Kansas City Stock Yards com
pany. C. F. Morse, and the general
manager, Eugene Rust, as to the con
dition of the yards. The purpose of
the inquiry was to obtain information
for use in discussing legislation hav
ing for its object the regulation o?
yardage charges and the price of hay
and grain. Such a measure is already
on the statutes of Kansas, making
the fee 15 cents a head for cattle,
whereas the company now charges 23
cents, its cattle department being or.
the Missouri side of the line. Thv
two legislatures hope to enact a law
simultaneously to legulate this am!
other charges.
RECEIVER N0TJ1EC06NIZED
Manager of Lincoln Street Railway
Declines to Give Him Possession.
Lincoln, Feb. S District Judge
Holmes appointed L. J. Dunn, cashier
of the City National bank, receiver
of the Lincoln Street Railway corn
pay. After furnishing a bond in the
sum of $1,000,000. which was approved
by the court, Receiver Dunn made
formal demand for the property,
which was refused by Manager Cox
and Attorney Allen, acting for tho
company. No attempt was made to
secure forcible possession, but the re
ceiver and Messrs. Cox and Allen
are in joint possession. Representa
tions will be made to the court on be
half of Receiver Dunn and contempt
proceedings, it is said, suggested.
General Colby is Acquitted.
Omaha, Feb. 8. Judge Carland in
the United States district court hand
ed down a decision in the case of Gen
eral L. Wr. Colby, former adjutant
general of Nebraska, exonerating him
from the charge of . embezzlement.

Free Concert at Gray's
w w m m
by the "tie" vote of 38 to 38.
Subsequently the senate decided by
a vote of 38 to 3G to entirely eliminate
New Mexico and Arizona from the
bill and this result had hardly been
announced when Bard, in slightly
changed form, renewed his propo
sition for the admission of New Mex
ico as a state, and this time the
amendment prevailed by the vote of
40 to 37. One of the affirmative votes
was, however, cast by Beveridge, in
charge of the bill, for the purpose of
moving the reconsideration of the
vote. He was prompt in entering his
motion as soon as the result was an
nounced, but the motion was laid upon
the table by a vote of 39 to 38. The
effect was to eliminate Arizona from
the bill and to establish a state of
New Mexico and another of Oklahoma
and Indian territory. In this form
the bill passed.
The defeat of the Bard amendment
in the senate after it had been adopt
ed in committee of the whole gave
rise to some interesting Incidents.
Bailey intimated that there had been
a "trade" regarding the adoption of
an amendment adding a portion of
Arizona to Utah.
The Mormon question also received
an airing during the day. While the
provision for the separate admission
of New Mexico was under considera
tion Burrows, chairman of the com
mittee on privileges and elections, an
nounced his opposition to the bill and
stated it was due to the practice of
polygamy in that territory to such an
extent that he considered it unwise to
take the administration away from the
federal authorities. Dubois, McComas
and Piatt (Conn.) referred to the
question of polygamy and to the reve
lations before the committee. The
bill originated in the house and will
go to conference.
Frosted Wheat Must Pay Duty.
St. Paul. Feb. 8. A case of import
ance to farmers of western wheat
growing states was decided by United
States District Judge Lochren, who
hantX-d down an order reversing the
decision of the board of appraisers at
Minneapolis and declaring that frosted
wheat imported from Canada must
pay the regular tariff rate of 25 cents
per bushel. Evidence was taken to
show that large proportions of the
wheat was capable of germinating
and on this evidence Judge Lochren's
decision is based.
Such at least is the result implied by
the sustaining of the demurrer im
pleaded by his attorneys. General
Colby was indicted for the misap
propriation of some $2,000 or more,
proceeds of the alleged sale of a
quantity of blankets belonging to the
federal government and loaned to Ne
braska for use of the National Guard.
Stock Losses Small at Alliance.
Alliance, Neb., Feb. 8. For the first
time in more than a week the ther
mometer registered a good margin
on the best side of zero. This closes
the longest spell of continued bitter
weather that has been experienced
here in seventeen years. There is no
great amount of stock suffering re
ported. This is accounted for by the
better shed protection that exists
throughout the stock co-mlry. The
prospects here and west are that the
cold snap is at an end and th::t better
weather will prevail.
UsualResult in Missouri.
Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 8. The
seventeenth ballot of the joint ses
Bion of the Missouri legislature, to
elect a successor to United States
Senator Cockrell, failed to break the
deadlock and the relative standing of
the candidates was practically un
changed. Representative Wamsley
again changed his complimentary
vote, casting it for Senator E. H.
Frisby of Harrison county.
Mail Pouches Stolen.
Poplar Bluff. Mo., Feb. 8. Two
pouches of mail matter, one contain
ing registered mail, have been stolen
from a mail car on the iron Mountain
route while the train was standing at
the station here. Both sacks, ripped
open and rifled of their contents, were
found in Black river, near here.
Rejoicing in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City, Okla., Feb. 8. The
announcement that the senate had
passed the statehood bill providing
for joint admission of Oklahoma and
Indian territory is creating great en
thusiasm in both territories. Public
demonstrations of rejoicing are tak
ing place all over both territories.
6R0FFS ANB MACNEN IN PRISON
Postal Grafters Will Serve Sentence
in West Virginia Penitentiary.
Washington. Feb. 8. August W.
Machen. the former head of the entire
free delivery system of the postofflce
department and the foremost figure
among the officials, politicians and
contractors indicted as a result of the
postal Investigation, and Diller B.
Groff and Samuel B. Groff. both of this
city, convicted in connection with the
promotion of a letter box fastener
scheme, left Washington with a party
of eleven other convicts for the
Moundsville (W. Va.) penitentiary to
serve a sentence of two years im
prisonment. None of Machen's rela
tives was at the depot to see him off.
but a large number of friends greeted
him, shook his hand and In several
cases pledged him their readiness to
supply him money if he needed it.
Machen said that he had spent prac
tically all of his money In his de
fense and that to liquidate the fine
of $10,000. which he also was sen
tenced to pay, he would take the oath
of insolvency and spend one more
month in the penitentiary.
MORE BALLOT BOXES OPENED
Colorado Democrats Allege Fraud in
Las Animas County.
Denver, Feb. 8. The Democratic
attorneys in the Peabody- Adams gu
bernatorial contest are securing depo
sitions of voters in several counties
outside of Denver. Before the joint
committee three ballot boxes from
Las Animas county, where the Demo
crats allege flagrant frauds were com
mitted by the Republicans, were turned
over to experts selected by the Demo
crats. Several boxes from Las Animas
county will be opened and possibly
some from Huerfano county. While
the Democrats discreuit all expert
testimony on handwriting, they as
sert that in these two counties over
1.000 ballots were written by one or
two persons, and if the committee ac
cepts the reports of experts regarding
Denver votes it should also accept
similar reports concerning Las Ani
mas and Huerfano counties. If this
be done, they declare, Governor
Adams will retain his seat.
Storm Conditions in South.
Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 8. With a
blizzard raging in north and east Tex
as and rain and sleet falling in many
districts in southern Texas, Louisi
ana, Mississippi and Tennessee,
weather conditions are decidedly
worse than at any time since the pres
ent storm began. A blizzard has been
sweeping over the cattle ranges of
western Texas for two days and shows
no signs of abatement. Thousands of
cattle are reported to be suffering and

MIS KM
STEAMER FOUNC1RS NEAR HALI
FAX IN DLINDlJSG TNOWSTORM.
MANY LIVES REPORTED LOST
Chief Officer, With Eighteen Members
of Crew, Reach Shore After Tortur
ing Experience Captain and Part
f Crew Xre Missing.
Halifax, N. S., Feb. 8. During a
raging gale and blinding snowstorm,
which has swept the Nova Scotia
coast for the past twenty-four hours,
the ocean steamer Damara of the
Furness line ran on the rocks at
Musquodoboit, thirty miles from Hali
fax, and Is believed to have roundered
with the loss of many lives.
The first officer of the ship, with
eighteen of the crew, escaped in one
of the life boats and landed at Pleant
point, after a terrific struggle with
wind and sea. Captain Gorst. master
of the Damara, four passengers and
the rest of the steamer's crew left
the vessel in another life boat. They
have not been heard of since and it
is feared that they have perished.
The occupants of the boat which
reached shore were utterly exhausted
and many of them were badly frost
bitten. They had a harrowing ex
perience, battling in the darkness for
hours in the open boat against tern
pestous seas on a treacherous coast,
with the thermometer 10 below zero
and an Arctic blizzard raging. They
landed on shore some time during the
day and reached the telegraph office
at Musquodoboit harbor, whence they
wired the first news of tho disaster to
the agents of the Furness line at Hall
fax, to which port the Daraara was
bound. The survivors say that the
steamer struck about 2 o'clock in the
morning, when the blizzard was so
thick that it was impossible to see a
ship's length ahead, on what proved to
be Musquodoboit ledge. An immense
hole, through which the sea poured
in torrents, was smashed in the bow
of the steamer. The shock of the
impact awakened everyone on board,
and huge breakers swept the vessel
fore and aft. Life boats immediately
were ordered over the side and all
hands left the ship. It is believed
that the steamer must have foundered
quickly and small hope is entertained
by the survivors of the wreck that the
captain and other occupants of the
missing life boat could have success
fully withstood the extreme rigor of
the weather prevailing on this coast
for the many hours which have
passed.
ENTIRE C0LLE6E, QUARANTINED
Smallpox Breaks Out Among Students
at Gettysburg, Pa.
Gettysburg, Pa.. Feb. 8. The entire
stadent body of Gettysburg college
was placed under quarantine because
of the discovery of smallpox in the
institution. Two freshmen, Roy V.
Stambaugh and Ralpfi Zimmerman.
were stricken with the disease and
the board of health deputized a large
force of men to guard the dormitories.
Before their arrival, however, more
than 100 students had fled from the
college, many of them leaving the
building by way of the fire escapes,
while others jumped from the win
dows. A few of the students left
town immediately, but the greater
number remained here, expecting to
board later trains. They were all ap
prehended by the authorities and re
turned to the dormitories.
