BARON HUMBUG JUMPED FROM GAR: WAS NOT HURT Splendid Saddle Horse Owned by A. 0'Kelliher Narrowly Escaped Be- ing Killed This Morning. “Baron Humbug,” the thorough-| bred saddle horse owned by A. O’Kelliher of Blackduck, from a car on a rapidly-moving, north-bound freight train on the M. & I. railway this morning, while being shipped to Blackduck from Bemidji, and escaped with only a few slight bruises. Mr. O’Kelliher brought the “Baron” down from Blackduck last week and he was used here for several days by Mr. and Mrs. O’Kelliher. Mr. O’Kelliher decided to ship him home and placed him onan M. & L. car at an early hour this morning, tying him securely and closing the doors. The trainmen started with the car on their nonth-bound trip and got as far as Turtle River when it was noticed that the horse was not in the car. In the meantime the horse showed up at the the Bemidji Lum- ber Company’s yards, on the east side of Lake Bemidji. The horse was brought to Pogue’s livery stable in this city. It was noticed that the horse’s nose was bleeding slightly, and that there were a couple of bruises on his leg. Word was got to Mr. O’Kelliher at Blackduck, who chartered a spec- ial engine and made the distance from Blackduck to Bemidji looking along the track for the horse. He was much relieved when he arrived in Bemidji to find that the horse was placed in the stable here and was not much worse for its ex- perience. It appears that while the train switched the car back the ani- mal must have kicked quite vigor- ously while in the car, tearing the strap on the halter, through which the “Baron” slipped his head and jumping through the door, made his escape from the train. As the “Baron” is one of the most valuable saddle horses in the state Mz O’Kelliher is to be congratulated that the horse was not more serious- ly injured. jumped Fine Job of Printing. The executive committee in charge of the recent reunion and annual convention of the Minnesota State Association of Elks is to be con- gratulated on securing so good a job of printing on the souvenir program. The printing was the work of the Security Blank Book and Printing Company of St. Cloud. The vari- ous half-tone cuts and other matter in the book was excellently printed, everything being very clear and dis- tinct. The company did them- selves proud, with the program book.

MARSHALL GETS HIGH VOTE Faile, However, to Secure Nacessary Forty Per Cent to Insure Exclusive Nomination—Stalwart Republicans Carry the State Ticket. Fargo, N. D,, June 26.—The indica- tlons, according to a statement by Na- tional Committeeman James Kennedy, are that C. A. Johnson, stalwart Re- publican candidate for governor, was nominated at the primarfes and that be has carried the whole of the stal- wart tleket with him by majorities ranging from 10,000 to 12,000. Hanna and Gropna are nominated for con- gress. ForUnited States senator Con- gressman Marshall 18 probably high man and the other candidate will be either Little or M. N. Johnson. Sen- ator - Hansbrough is low man of the four. Neither one will get the 40 per oépt necessary to insure exclusive nomination. Marshall’s big vote in the valley and slope eountry was a sur- prige to the stalwarts. For supreme couft judge B. F. Spalding has the lead. The complexion of the legisla- ture is very uncertain. The Demo- crats polled a very light vote, but they will get the percentage neces- sary to allow the party to be repre- rented on the official ballot in Novem- ber despite the handicap under the terms of the primary law.

Mec- Cleary of Mankato, Minn., second as- slstant postmaster general, has re- turned here from his home district, where he has been looking into the political situation and conferring with bis old friends. Mr. McCleary has de- cided that he will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for con- gress in the Mankato district, but he Will not make a formal announcement of his candidacy for several days. It is probable he will mot resign from his position in the postoffice depart- ment until after the primaries in the district. He believes such a course, the example having been set by Sec- retary Taft in not resigning from the war departrient until after he was nominated, will be amply justified. Tweedmouth May Resign.

CIRCUS TRAIN WREGKED. Eight Men Badly Hurt in Accident at St. Paul. St. Paul, June 26.—A promiscuous heap of 100 circus hands was pinioned ‘under the debris of two sleepers when & Bt. Paul freight train crashed into the first section of Hagenbeck & Wal- Tlace’s circus train at the foot of Chest- nut street. Eight persons were serk ously {njured and twenty others slight- ly injured. Four loaded flat cars and two sleepers were completely wrecked. _The circus train _was passing through St Paul from New Richmond, ‘Wis,, to Mankato, Minn., and was tak- ing xhe slding at the foot of Chestnut street when the freight train came tearing down the incline. It struck the circus train in the middle, hurling the four flat cars to one side. The big mogul engine plowed through the two sleepers, almost telescoping them. The circus hands were thrown from their berths and pinioned beneath the seats and other debris. To add horror to the moaning victims a fire sud- denly broke out in the wreckage and for a time threatened the entire train. The department was called and soon had the fire under control. The injured were taken te the eity hospital in the police ambulance and patrol wagons. None of the men are in a dangerous condition. LIGHTNING KILLS THREE.

The dead are Mrs. Mary Nolan, janitress of the building, and her four daughters, Mary, Jennie, Emma and Helen. They seemingly had been hemmed. in by the flames and suffo- ocated before help reached them. The explosion wrecked the front of the bullding and the fire spread rapidly owing to the inflammable nature of the chemicals stored in the basement. The employes of the Pabst Chemical company escaped, though several were ipjured by flying glass and debris. They were nearly all girls. The build- ing is almost a total wreck. SHOW NO VINDICTIVENESS Progressives Control lowa Republioan Convention. ‘Waterloo, Ia., June 26.—While “pro- gressives” were in control of the Re- bublican state convention they did not eontrol with any vindictiveness, but in reasonable good temper. They adopted a state platform glving em- thusiastic endorsement to Governor Cummins and the progressive legisla- ton on railroad and eorpordtion ques- tlohs, but they also gave Warm en- dorsement to the services of the Iowa delegation in congress, and especlally te Sénator me? lljgon, @ ledge for his re-sldetion b the next egislature. The “progresejves” se- cured control of the new state eam- paign committes, controlling it by a majority of one. The convention nomirated John Scott Ladd and Silas M. Weaver to succeed themselves on the supreme bench and also went through the formality of approving the nomina- tions for state officers made in the re- cent primaries. +The convention gave loud applause to the mention of the names of Sena- tors Allison and Dolliver and it gave & demonstration of some minutes when Governor Cummins responded to calls for a speech. Governor Cummins spoke in good spirit and pledged himself to work for Republican success. FISH QUITS OLD ROAD. Man Who Built Up Illlinois Central Selling His Stock. Chicago, June 26.—The Inter-Ocean gays: Within the last few weeks Stuy- vesant Fish, formerly president of the Illinois Central railroad, is said to have sold approximately 10,000 shares of his Illinois Central holdings. ‘With the liquidation of the balance of his holdings—a matter of 2,500 shares—which, it is presumed, will soon take place, he will discontinue his interest in the road he began to build thirty years ago and over whose destinies for twenty years he presided as president. The Fish connection with Illinois Central affairs, now believed to be drawing to a close, covers a remark- able perfod in the railroad history of the country and in that period ne fig- ure was more conspicuous than Stuy- vesant Fish. The pioturesque and long drawn out fight waged against '| him by Edward H. Harriman for the control of the Illinois Central, defeat in which is apparently acknowledged with the sale of the stock, was only » type of the battles he fought through three decades.
