At the last republican state convention, the Duluth crowd, which by the way, includes some who do rot live in Duluth, was driving a big long knife into S. G. Iverson, then a candidate for the nomination of state auditor. Now report states that the same crowd is clamoring for Iverson for governor. With Duluth and its contingent territory behind him, all Iverson would need to do would be to reach over and pick the guberna- torial plum from the political tree.— Grand Rapids Independent. The “Duluth crowd” probably figures that, with Iverson a candi- date for governor, there would be a clear field for the ‘“native son” Haldin as candidate for stste audi- tor. Iverson was too stiong for the Duluth bunch at the last. republican state convention, and hence their Iverson boam for governor, to get the latter out of the race for auditor. OBSERVATIONS: It doesn’t take the average man long to throw. off the greatness that is thrust upon him. Your enemies are seldom as black ..as you paint them or vour friends as white as they appear to be.

TROOPS ON THE SCENE. Wil Maintain Order During 8treet Car 8Strike at Muncie, ind. Munele, Ind, Jan. .—Twelve com- panies of infantry, one battery and a company of hospital and signal corps of the Indlana national guard have arrived here under orders from Gov- ernor Hanly to malatain peace dquring the strike of the employes of the street rallway.

He concluded his'speech here with these statements: “We have now passed from the Val- ley of the Shadow of Death, and in passing out we see the Republicans “just entering into the valley, and if they have as hard a time as we had, Wwe are likely to see some fun. “Those of you who may never have an opportunity to hear a live presi- dent of the United States can at least Fay now that you heard one speak who on two different occasions cher- ished the delusion that he was going to be a real live president, and he feels the disease coming on again.” ENDLESS CHAIN SYSTEM. Figured in the Transactions of John . R. Walsh, Chicage, Jan. .\—Substantiation of the “endless chaln” system which fig- ured in the governm(nt's case against John R. Walsh was given by J. W. Faithorn, former vice president of the Chicago and Alton, a witness for the defense. Faithorn and Walsh formed a syndicate in 1900 to take over the ‘Wisconsin and Michigan' raflroad. On cross-examination Mr. Faithorn ad- mitted that he secured some of the certificates of stock in the syndicate, but that he. did-not pay any money therefor. Instead he gave a note for $50,000 to the Chicago National bank. When “the note fell dus it was can- celled and paid with another note. ‘Evidence Points to Murder.

EARL-TO DEFEND SUIT. Will Contest Divorce Action of Count. ess of Yarmouth. London, Jan. ,.—The solicitors of the Earl of Yarmouth, whose wife, formerly Miss Alice C. Thaw of Pitts- burg, has begun suit for the nullifica- tion of her marriage, have given no- tice ‘that they propose to defend the action. The case probably will not be heard for seéveral weeks. i While 'this action is quite different from a divorce it will be heard in the divorce court, the sitting of which be- gins Jan. 11. The court has only two Judges and there are on the calendar 166 undefended cases, which take precedence over the defended suits. The Yarmouth suit stands sixty-one on the llst of defended cases. Lewis & Lewis, the famous firm of sollcitors of which Sir George Lewls, the best known lawyer in England, is the head, will represent the countess. Insanity previous to marriage, non- consummation of the marriage rela- tlon or an existing marriage are the only .grounds upon which, under the English law, a marriage may be an- nulled. ) MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.

BUILDING 15 SHAKEN Bomb Explosion in First National Bank at Kansas City. THREE EMPLOYES INJURED Explosion Causes Much Damage to Structure and a Panic Ensues Among the Several Hundred Cus- tomers In the Banking Room. Kansas City, Jan. .—A bomb was exploded in the basement of the three-story marble * building of the First National bank, Tenth and Balti- more streets, In the business center. The force of the explosion was ter- rific and caused much damage. Three persons were injured, none. fatally. There {8 no clue to the person who placed the bomb and set it off. The injured are: Elbert Ward, negro porter . in Dbank, condition serious; T.ogan Wilson, bank clerk, rendered unconsclous, will reccver; J. Donald- son, bank clerk, cut by falling glass, not serious. 2 John F. Telletien, superintendent of the fire insurance patrol, who was in the banking rooms at the time-of the explosion, and E. F. Swinney, presi- dent of the bank, are authority for the statement that the explosion was the result of a bomb set off by some person unknown to them. At first it was supposed to have resulted from leaking natural gas. Neither was able to give any cause for the act. The bank at the time of the explo- sion was crowded with customers and employes numbering perhaps 250. A panic ensued and there was a wild scramble for the doors. Investigation developed the fact that the bomb had been placed in a tollet room In the northwest corner of the basement twenty feet from the main vault. The tollet room was 18 by 20 feet and was separated from the adjoining room by a threedinch plas- ter partition. This was supported by a steel post. The bomb struck this post with such force that it bent it a foot out of plumb, wrecked the parti-| * tion and the plumbing and sent. a cloud of dust up the wide stairway leading to the banking rooms. Half a dozen basement windows with: the steel rods protecting . them were blown out into Baltimore avenue and across the strest. The building was shaken as if by an earthquake and its force may be appreciated from the fact that it was felt in all parts of the city. Every one concerned is at a loss to find a motive for the explosion. 5 FOR VIOLATING INJUNCTION| Three Butte Labor Leaders Sent to Jail by Federal Judge. Helena, Mont.,, Jan. - .—Jail sen- tences and fines were imposed on three Butte labor leaders by Judge Hunt of the United States court.

Judge Hunt sentenced Shannon and Cutts and Edwards, two more defend- ants, to jail for three months. In addition to the sentence Cutts and Edwards were fined $200 and $100, re- spectively. TO GUARD MORALS OF CITY Ministers and Laymen of Minneapolls Plan Organization, Minneapolis, Jan. '.—Plans for pro- moting the moral and physical im- provement of Minneapolis were:formu- lated at a meeting of ministers and lay delegates of the city churches. Rev. W. B.

ANOTHER “HOPE ~DISSIPATED Vessel Just Arrived at Portland, Me., Did Not See Missing Liner. ° Portland, Me,, Jan. .—Another hope that the missing Canadian Pacific steamer Mount Royal, with her 400 passengers and crew, might be towed into port was dissipated here on the arrival of the steamer Hungarian. As the latter ship was twenty days from Glasgow and a week overdue ship- ping circles in London were led to be- lleve that she had fallen in with the Mount ‘Royal, which left Antwerp Dec. 7 for St. John and is now long over- due, and expected to hear she was be- ing towed into Portland. No trace of the Mount Royal was seen by the Hun- garian. The Allan;liner had a hard passage, due to heavy head winds, but sustained no damage. Attacked by Vicious Buck. ‘Wheeling, W.

Cham! PERJURY CHARGE DROPPED Fight for Estates of Duke of Pertland to Continue. London, Jan. 7.—The perjury eharge brought against Herbert Druce by his nephew, George Hollamby Druce, has tollapsed, bt the civil action for the recovery of the estates of the Duke of Portland will be continued. This became known. when Mr. Atherley- Jones, counsel for George Hollamby Druce, announced that in view of the discoveries made when the coffin of Charles Druce was opened and exam- Ined Dec. 30 it will be impossible 'to proceed with the prosecution. The statement was made after the presen- tation of evidence by Professor Au- gustus J. Pepper of the University of London and others, who were present at the exhumation. Herbert Druce was charged with committing perjury by swearing that his father, Thomas Charles Druce of the Baker street bazaar, died Dec. 28, 1864, and that he saw the dead body pbced in a coffin and buried in High- gate cemetery. George Hollamby Druce declared that this must be un- frue because T. C. Druce was, in fact, the fifth Duke of Portland, who lived until 1879. Upon this ground George Hollamby Druce claimed that he him- relf was the rightful heir of the Port- land dukedom and estates, the income from which is placed at $1,500,000 a Year, MARKET QUOTATIONS.
