Stan-| ton of International Falls as asso-| ciate judge of the Fifteenth Judicial dsstrict, to succeed Marshall A.| Spooner, resigned, is meeting with universal approbation from all sides, and Governor Johnson is to be con- ex-| gratulated or making such an cellent selection. That a “prophet is not without| honor, save in his own country,” does nothold good with Mr. Stan- ton, as he is popular at home as well as abroad, as witness the following, ! taken from the Border Budget, pub- lished at Intetnational Falls, Mr. Stanton’s home town: “When Governor Johnson re- ceived Judge Spooner’s resignation he immediately tendered the posi- tion to C. W. Stanton. Mr. Stan- ton took the proposition under con- sideration and Thursday advised the governor of his acceptance. “The citizens of International Falls are frank in their approval of the honor that has been con- ferred upon one of our leading citi- zens, and it is needless to say that|tion of former Governor Frank Steun- it met with unanimous favor. ~Mr. Stanton is recognized as one of the leading attorneys in the district, and among the members of the bar he is credited with being a good, sound lawyer of ability. ' [Since the organization of Koochiching county he has acted as county attorney and has given general satisfaction. No doubt Mr. Stanton will make an able judge and a model presiding officer.” OBSERVATIONS. [By "Doc"] A rolling stone beats two in the bush. A man may be “dead easy” all his'life"and yet die hard. How many men do you know who allow their religion to interfere with their business? How can the Japanese hope to have longer legs, when they won’t allow anyone to pull them. If there were no fools in the world a whole lot of lawyers would undoubtedly starve to death. When a man lays down the law he doesn’t necessarily resign. There may be other inducements. Itisa good deal easier to say “brother” in'a smooth way than to spend time smoothing your brother’s ways. Rents, the real estate dealers re- port, have not advanced any of late. Who is responsible for this over- sight? When associated with the es- teemed Mr. Lawson the simple public generally: spells it “Vou-con mining.” . Folks who are see-sawing between right and wrong think that Provi- dence gives them a good many ups and downs in life. It’s remarkable how easily a girl can adjust herself to circumstances. She can be fond of almost any young man when there are no others around. . Ohio boasts a candidate for sher- iff who can carry a 400-pound barrel of oil. Lots of men think they are strong until they attempt to carry their own precincts. — st e PICKLING CONCERN CLOSES Wisconsin Cucumber Product Dam- aged by Fungus Growth. Manitowoe, Wis., March 31.—Dis- ease, which has appearéd in the fields, has forced a Manitowoc pickling con- cern to close its plant and abandon its business and there is no chance that the company can reopen for at least five years, say experts of the agricultural department at Washing- ton who have investigated condi- tions. The cucumbers are affected by a fungus growth which spots the prod- uct and makes it unmarketable, it is claimed, and as a result the business is practically destroyed. The trouble was experienced last year and less than 30 per cent of the product grown could be sold by the company. The condition is said to result from at- mospheric conditions of the lake shore district and has forced ome of the largest pickling companies in the country to close several of its growing stations. | Sustains DYNAMITE FOR WELLS Home of Former Adjutant General of Colorado Blown Up. HAS A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE Only Slight Injuries, Al- though Hurled Some Distance in the Wreckage—Had Been a Leader in Suppressing Labor Troubles. Telluride, Colo,, March 3 .—Former Adjutant General Bulkeley Wells nar- rowly escaped death or serious injury at his home here from a well planned effort to assassinate him with dyna- mite. Despite precautions against such an attempt, as patrols and arc lights about the house, a stick of dynamite or a prepared bomb was placed under or near General Wells’ bed. General Wells was sleeping, as was his habit, on an outer porch of the house and he was hurled with the debris many feet from the wrecked house. The side of the house was torn completely out, hardly a stick of the bed remained and fragments of wood were scattered over the neighborhood. Though badly shaken up and bruised to some extent General Wells escaped without serious injury. General Wells took a leading part in the suppression of labor troubles in this state in 1904-5 and was prom- inently identified* with the recent prosecution of officers of the Western Federation of Miners at Boise on the charge of complicity in the assassina- enberg. He had been active also in securing the extradition from Idaho of Steve Adams, who is to be tried here on charges of murder in connec- tion with the miners’ strike here in 1904. Wells Now Mine Manager. Mr. Wells is general manager of the Smuggler Union mine and his home, where the explosion occurred, is lo- cated on that property, at Pandora, several miles from town. The general appeared in town fol- lowing the explosion with his head bandaged, but otherwise apparently none the worse for his experience. One suspect has been arrested and is held iIn the city jail pending a thor- ough investigation relative to his al- leged connection with the explosion. The entire city and county police forces are working on the case and more arrests were expected. That Wells had a most miraculous escape is evidenced by the damage done to the room and its contents. Every window was blown out, a huge hole was torn in the floor, plaster was jarred from the ceiling and side walls and nearly every window light in the house was cracked. The wire springs of the couch on which the general slept were twisted and broken. General Wells’ predecessor as man- ager of the Smuggler Union mine, Arthur L. Collins, an Englishman, was shot to death at Pandora several years ago. Steve Adams, the alleged accomplice of Harry Orchard, the mur- derer of ex-Governor Steunenberg of Idaho, is now in jall at Telluride awaiting trial for that orime. General Wells is a graduate of Har- vard university and is a prominent clubman. He was alone in the house at the time of the explosion. NEW BRIDGE THREATENED Fire Damages Joy Line Pier at New York City. New York, March 31.—Fire on the Joy line pier in East river and an adjoining pier resulted in the injury of several firemen and caused a loss of $150,000 and for a time seriously threatened the steamer Edgemont and the scaffolding of the new Manhattan bridge. Of the loss $100,000 falls upon the Joy line and $50,000 upon the Terry & Tench company, contractors, who are at work on the new Manhat- tan bridge. The fire started under the flooring of the piler and, fed by the coating of pitch which covered the heavy timbers, made rapid headway. A high pressure hose which broke away from two firemen while they were attempting to direct a stream urider the blazing pier injured several men before it was brought under con- trol. Several of the men required at- tention from an ambulance surgeon. NO CLUE TO DYNAMITERS. Ten Thousand Reward for Assailants of General Wells. Telluride, Colo, March 381.—Re-) wards offered for the capture of the person or persons who dynamited Gen- eral Bulkeley Wells Saturday in an effort to kill him aggregate $10,000. Sheriff Fitzpatrick said that sufficient evidence to warrant arrests had not yet been obtained. Henry Anker, a waiter, arrested for using incendiary language, has been found to have had no connection with the crime. General Wells is suffering greatly from the shock to his nervous system due to the explosion and has joined his family at Colorado Springs for a rest. Gamble Secures Passage of Bill. ‘Washington, March 31.—Senator Gamble of South Dakota achieved a victory over his colleague, Senator Kittredge, when by a vote of the sen- ate he secured the passage of the bill creating an additional land district in his state. Mr. Kittredge recently pre- vented the consideration of the bill, but when Mr. Gamble called it up in the absence of his colleague there was little objection and the measure was allowed to pass.

It Is o rank disgrace for any man to die except from' old age.” e iephe present generation is going to live long, for It knows more about the laws of health than ever was known before.” Men of Sclence have made no discov- ery in ancient or modern times of such vast importance to the health and happi- ness of the human race, as the recent animal life—of Vitality.

The condition of Governor Guild of Massachusetts continues unchanged. The Aldrich financial bill has reached the house. After lying on the table for a few minutes the speaker referred it to the committee on bank- ing and currency. The conciliation and arbitration board governing the Scottish iron trade has agreed on a reduction in ‘wages of 71 per cent on account of the decrease in the iron business. Most Rev. Prospero Maria Alarcon ¥ Sanchez de la Barquera, archbishop and head of the Roman Catholic church in Mexico, is dead after a lin- gering illness. He was eighty years of age. The condition of Premier Sir Henry Compbell-Bannerman shows no marked change for the worse, but the diabetes, which apparently is in its incurable form, is making gradual inroads upon his reserve vitality. The Switzerland government rail- road tunnel through the Ricken moun- tains near Lake Zurich has been com- pleted. Construction on the tunnel, Wwhich is nearly five miles long, was begun four years ago. MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat. \ Minneapolis, March 30.—Wheat— May, $1.03%; July, $1.013%.

Dynamite Exploded on River Steamer at St. Paul. St. Paul, March 31.—By the explo- slon of a heavy charge of dynamite Pplaced in the cabin of the steamer C. ‘W. Cowles by unknown hands the craft was damaged to the extent of $300 and several other steamers moored near at hand, as well as the freight depot of the St. Paul road, placed in danger of destruction by fire. The explosion occurred shortly after Captain George Winans, the owner of the boat, and four men who were em- ployed in getting her ready to go into commission had gone ashore. No one was kurt. The dypamite had been placed in the stateroom which Captain Winans ‘was having prepared for his own use. It was inserted through a transom in the outside door and hung immediate- 1y beneath the ceiling with a long fuse attached. When the charge went off it completely demolished three of the after port staterooms, reducing the thin bulkheads to kindling wood, shat- téring thelr furniture and badly dam- aging the galley in the rear. It is believed the dynamiting of the Cowles was the work of vandals, as no more tenable theory to account for the attempt to destroy it has so far been advanced. Fails in Effort to Save Wife. New York, March 31.—With the hope of saving the life of his wife Dr. Luis de Lazo, consul general of Hon- |duras in New York, gave of his own blood, submitting to the rare opera- tion of transfusion, but the desperate expedient failed and the woman, who was twenty-nine years old, died in the French hospital. Her husband is seri- ously ill both from the effects of the operation and the shock of his wife’s death. Jerome Commissioner Resigns. Albany, N. Y., March 31.—Charles Andrews, former chief judge of the court of appeals, has resigned as com- missioner to take testimony for the governor in the matter of charges against District Attorney Jerome. Judge Andrews gives as his reason that he had arranged to go abroad in June and that the progress of the hearing thus far indicated that the in- vestigation cannot be completed in time to enable him to make his report before the date set for departure, Lumbermen Will Appeal. Toledo, O., March 31.—The convict- ed lumbermen, whose sentence to im- prisonment by the common pleas court for conspiracy in restraint of trade was affirmed by the circuit court, will apply for leave to file a petition in error in the supreme court.

Battleship Gun Explodes. ‘Washington, March 31.—During tar- get practice at Magdalena bay 140 inches of the muzzle of one of the 6-inch broadside guns of the Missouri blew off. No one was injured.

FIFTY-EIGHT KILLED Two Explosions Occur in'a'Col- liery at Hanna, Wyo. ENTIRE FORCE WIPED OUT Deadl Include the Superintendent, Three Foremen, Gas Watchers, Sta- ble Bosses and Others—Rescue Party of Forty Men Give Up Lives. Hanna, Wyo.,, March 31.—Fifty- elght men are dead as the result of two explosions in mine No. 1 of the Union Pacific Coal company here. The official force of the mine was com- pletely wiped out by the disaster. From Superintendent Briggs and his three foremen down to the gas watch- ers, stable bosses and others all are dead and complete reorganization of the working' forces will be: necessary. The entire official family of the Unit- ed Mine Workers is enrolled on the roster of the dead. Two of the women who lost husbands in' this disaster were also made widows by the calam- ity at the same mine five years ago. Fire started in the colliery a week ago, since which time attempts at reg- ular intervals-have been made to ex- tinguish it.” Saturday it was deemed unsafe to send the miners down into the workings and they were notified not to report for duty. Superintendent Briggs, with a team of picked men, the best and most - ex- perienced hands in the camp, went into the mine to fight the fire, but at 2 o’clock the flames had got beyond their control and at 3 o'clock connect- ed with the walled off gas and a ter- rific explosion followed. Of the nineteen men in the mine at the time of the first explosion eight- een were killed, including a superin- tendent and three bosses. The second explosion ocourred seven hours later, snuffing out the lives of a rescue party of forty men, including State Mine Inspector D, M. Elie. Five bodies have been recovered,” but it is considered unsafe for a further search to be made at present. Killed by an Employe. Mason City, Ia., March 31.—George Stevens, shot by F. H.
