Gas In Well Hxplodes.
CRK3TON, la., Aug. 21. -(Special.)
Being blown twenty feet by the exploslun
of gas in a well, having their hands and
faces badly scorched, their hair burned,
their clothes torn, being scratched and
badly bruised waa the rather startling and
unpleasant accident that , befell James
Keever and Jack Rhodes, employes of Uault
Bros, elevator at Preacott. It seems that
the two boys were working about the ele

this city, when something occurred to the
engine, and in the Investigation that fol
lowed they chanced to look down a well
from which the water was pumped to feed
the engine. A

SPRING FIELD, III., Aug. Jl-Mllltary
ule ceased n Springfield today, the militia
fcrce here being reduced to one rcglmenl
ana the task of preserving order being
turned over to the civil authorities. The
First cavalry broke camp at daylight an1
the Seventh infantry "patrols were with
drawn from the streets. Sheriff Werner
had an Increased force of deputies on duty
aud the city police force was also rein
forcfd by a few special policemen. Except
for the closed saloons, and the ruined
homes and business houses in some of the
streets, there was nothing to Indicate that
a week ago the city had been In the hands
of an uncontrolled mob.
Brigadier Genera! Frank P. Wells, com
manding the First brigade of Illinois Na
tional Guard, was rellevi d of his command
this morning and left for his home In De
catur. General Wells has been command
ing the troops in the east part of the city.
This leaves Major General Edward A.
Young the only general officer remaining,
who will probably remain as long aa the
troops remain.
The early morning hours were praclcally
without incident. One case of shooting was
reported from the northeast section-of the
city, a sentry assertir-g that some one had
discharged a double barrelled shot gun in
his direction. The "Shafter cavalry" waa
sent from the Jail headquarters but no trace
of the marauders was found. The promis
cuous shooting had practically ceased since
the troops began to depart, the absence of
tha numerous patrols and -ser.trles having
seemingly eliminated the incentive to cause
excitement by the firing of guns and re
volvers. Except for the Incident mentioned,
there was no authenticated Instance of
"snipping," this morning.
- Hope for Peace Xotv.
It Is believed that this sort of amusement
will disappear this evenlrjg, because the
police and deputies will not attract the at
tention on the streets that the rifle-bearing
and broad-hatted soldiers have. Staying
under the glare of electric lights at the
street intersections, the sentries have been
fine targets and the fact that none of them
has been hit la taken as proof that the
trouble-makers have fired their weapons
chiefly for the purpose of hearing tlio calls
for the guard and of. seeing the arrival of
the flylrjg squadrons which have been sent
to Investigate all such cases.
Rollu Keys, tlio boy witness against the
alleged assailant of Mrs. Mabel Hallam,
who was shot accidentally by a companion
yesterday, was In a satisfactory condition
according to early reports from the hospi
tal today. The 22 calibre revolver bullet
which struck him, ranged Into the upper
portion of the right lung, it is thought, but
the extent of Its damage cannot be accur
ately determined as yet, but Keys' chances
of recovery are not considered bright by the
surgeons. At daylight jie waa reported as
resting comfortably.
Esteem for National Guard.
Residents of the east section of the city
were awakened by the flatter of hoofs as
the First cavalry, under Colonel Milton J.
Foreman, marched to Its train. The em
barkation waa not attended by' the' hurry
and bustle which marked the detraining of
the command on it arrival here, but It waa
accomplished with a clerity that confirmed
the good Impression which the regiment
has made aa to Its efficiency. The entire
national guard has, lu fact, risen in the
esteem of the residents of the capltol, the
bad Impression made by skylarking sold
iers during the annual encampment at
Camp Lincoln, having been dissipated by
the conduct of the troops durlrjg their tours
of riot duty. Of the 4.200 men assembled
here during the past week, less than a
score have been found derelict, the guard
tents being the least busy places In the
camps. AH the ground occupied by the
troops has been restored to its former
condition as nearly as possible, the lawns
of the state house, for Instance, showing
practically no effects of their occupation
by hundreds of "pup" tents.
No announcement has yet been made as
to when Colonel Moriarlty'a command, the
Seventh Infantry, will be ordered home.
This regiment was the strongest nmneil
cally in the capital. Ita departure will
depend upon the ability of the police and
sheriff's forces to prevent further depre
dations. Grand Jary Iteiames Work.
The grand Jury resumed its investigation
this morning. It is understood that further
charges against Abraham Kayner, who
was made the subject of ill indictments
yesterday, weVe Lelng considered. R.iyner
now stands formally accused of murder,
malicious mischief and riot. The indict
ments, exctpt the one charging murder,
are all based upon his alleged actions,
while the mob waa destroying Loper's
rtataurai t, Krlduy last. The murder Charge
alleges that he took part in the lynching
of William Donlgan on the succeeding
night. The authorities claim to have evi
dence that he was also a ringleader In the
raids upon the "black belt," which followed
the Loir riot and resulted In the burning
of about thirty-five structures, tha
demolition of a score of buginesa twufes
and the lyi.chlng of Scot Burton.
Kate Howard, who was indicted for
malicious mischief and riot In four forma,
was arrested on a bench warrant last
night. Her ball has b'-en fixed at lO.Oitt
by Judge Creighton of the circuit curt
who Issued the warrant. The charges
against her relat to the looting of the
Loper restaurant.
Loper was a Wilms before tha coroners'
jury last night at the inquiry Into the
deuth of Louis Johnuon, who was found
dead in the basement of the restaurant.
It developed that no autopsy had been held
on the body by Coroner Woodruff, and
none of the physicians, who viewed the
remains would venture a positive opinion
as to the cause- of death. The possibility
that the boy was killed by fulling Into the
bastmeiit and breaking his ne k may cause
an exhumation of the coipsu.

Abbott toast Star on Ticket.
Whether Fred Abbott withdraw! from
the race for the nomination for railway
commission or not he cannot get hla name
off nf the ticket now. The law provides
that persons deslrtn to withdraw must
do so within fifteen days before the eleo
tlon. Secretary of State Junktn said to
day, however, If Abbott desired to with
draw and .would pay the telegraph tolls
he would wire county clerkt who had not
yet printed ballots to leave his name off.
This action, however, would be recognised
as a clear violation Of the primary law.
It Is presumed the legislature had an
object In mind when it provided when can
didates might get their names off of the
ticket. Had fio limit been put upon the
time Of withdrawing, then It would have
been easy for some organisation to bring
out a number of candidates for a special
office and then at the last minute have
thm withdraw. The large number of
candidates could be worked to keep other
parties from running and they could get
out of the way at a date too late for
others to get On the ballot.
Haward Mar ot Renlan.
The talk around the atate house Is that
Will Hayward. chairman of the state com
mittee and secretary of the national re
publican committee, will not resign his
office at the present time, but will simply
request the vice chairman, Representative
Kelfer, to come to Lincoln and take charge.
Thl arrangement may be kept up until
after the new committee Is selected, which
will be two weeks after the primary. The
new committee probably will get together
at the same time the platform conven
tion meets.
Mr. Kelfer was selected' vice chairman
at the same time Mr. Hsyward was chosen
chairman. He Is at present a candidate
for renomlnatlon iTa state representative
from the Nuckolls county district, but his
friends say he will act aa chairman and
come to Lincoln If the committee desires
it. Secretary Corrlck is at present at
tending to the Work at the headquarters
and everything is getting along nicely.
Wanted to See Hheldon.
Govecrn Sheldon hae honored the requi
sition of Governor Hughes of New York
for the return to that state of Richard
Cameron, charged with assault in the sec
ond degree. The man Is under nrrost In
Omaha. Sheriff John Morey of Dutchess
county. New "York, came after the prisoner,
and this is what he bad to say to a num
ber of people In the governors' office:
"I came after the prisoner myself be
cause I wanted to see Governor Sheldon.
We in New York have heard a lot about
your governor and he Is looked upon there
as a big man mentally. It was Just to get
an opportunity to see him and to talk with
him that I came after the prisoner ffly
self." Discrimination la Denied.
The Nebraska Telephone company has
filed Its answers In the case wherein dis
crimination In rates is charged by panloi
living In Johnson county. The charges
were that the company permitted some
parties to talk for 6 cents between certain
towns and charged others It cents. The
answers set out that the company does not
discriminate against anyone. Where the
charge la 6 cents it Is to members of the
exchange, either In one town or the other,
where connections are made.
Yalae of Sidetracks.
Secretary Schavland of the State Board
of Assessment has made a compilation of
the values placed upon main track and
sidetracks of all railroad companies by
county assessors under the provisions of
the terminal tax law. Thin compilation
shows only the value of the tracks and
does not Include the lands In the right-of-way.
He has divided the actual value of
this track as found by the assessors by
the mileage in each of the towns to find
the actual value per mile. The Board of
Equalization will at Its next sitting equal
ize these values. The work of the asses
sors shows a wide difference between
the values placed upon the different roads.
The following table shows the result of
the compilation;
Average value per mile.
Railroad. Main track, tide Track

St. Joe & Grand Island.. 7.461 4,61tS
The board will meet tomorrow and begin
the work of equalising between the values
placed on railroad properties In the cities
und towns. That this will be a hard Job
Is indicated by the great difference In the
minds of the assessors of the values of the
different roads. When the board has equal
ized this value It will be necessary for It
also to equalize the value of lands and
buildings assessed locally and also to dis
tribute to eaoh town its proportion of the
value of the franchise of the railroads.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3. An announcement
waa made at republican national headquar
ters today by Representative James 8.
Sherman republican candidate for vice
president, confirming the Associate Press
dispatch from Oyster Bay that President
Rnnnevelt's conference with Dartv leaders
at Sagamore Hill yesterday had developed
that political exigencies aemana tne re
nomination of Governor Hughes. Chair
man Hitchcock waa present, when Mr.
Sherman stated the results of the con
ference and he aasented to all the vice
presidential nominee said.
The statement made today unquestion
ably will put an end to organired opposi
tion to the candidacy of Governor Hughes,
although It la possible that certain indi
viduals will continue to voice protests.
With President Roosevelt, Mr. Taft, Mr.
Sherman, Mr. Hitchcock,, several New
York members of congress and other atate
leaders for Mr, Hughes, it Is not believed
possible that the fight against the re
nomination of Mr. Hughes can gain any
headway. In fact, political leaders are now
predicting that no other name will be pre
