Stephens of Crooks- ton, a political power in the state senate and the Ninth Con- gressional district, is Jlooking- for- ward to the time when he will occupy the Minnesota governor's chair is the statement credited to one close to the Crookston sen- ator. Mr. Stephzns has had two terms in the state senate and last week was nominated for re election over John Saugstad. If he has the Minnesota guber- natorial position under considerat- ion and it seems certain that he has, he probably will work with thatend in view during the coming legislat- ive session. He hasdone much for northern Minnesota and would se- cure strong backing in this territory. SHOWS SIGNS OF ACTIVITY Arizona Volcano Has Been Extinct for Ages. Flagstaff, Ariz., Sept. 27.—Seven members of a construction gang ar- rived here with a story of having been driven away from their work near the base of an extinct volcano in the Co- conino forest, forty-five miles north of Flagstaff, by a series of fifty-two vio- lent earthquakes. Last Friday night, when slight quakes were felt here and in other Northern Arizona towns, the shocks were so violent and the rumblings within the dead volcano so terrifying that the men broke camp and left in a panic. C. McNichols, foreman of the gang, said the shocks began on the night of Saturday, Sept. 10. The first shocks threw a lamp off a camp box in Me- Nichols’ tent and broke his bed. There is some apprehension here that the volcano, which apparently has been extinct for ages, is about to become active again. CAR STRIKES AUTOMOBILE Wife and Children of Cleveland Physi- cian Killed. Cleveland, Sept. 27.—Backing his automobile across a country road in an attempt to reach a private drive- way Dr. Morris D. Stepp, prominent Cleveland surgeon, drove the machine directly before a speeding electric freight car. The machine was hurled high into the air and Mrs. Stepp and two children, Morris, aged eight, and an infant daughter, were killed. Dr. Stepp was removed to a hos- pital, where it was found tlfat he had sustained three fractured ribs and in- ternal injuries. Two Kllled When Train Hits Auto.

REPEATS FORMER STORY Member of Illinois Legislature Tells .of Alleged Bribe of $1,000 for Vot- ing for Lorimer for United States Senator—Latter's Attorney Objects to Testimony Relating to the Leg- islative “Jackpot.” Chicago, Sept. 27.—State Represen- tative Charles O. White of O’Fallon, 111, was the first witness to take the stand in the investigation into the election of United States Senator William Lorimer by the senatorial subcommittee on elections and priv- ileges. Six of the seven members of the committee were present when his ex- amination by Attorney Austrian, rep- resenting the Chicago Tribune, which, in writing White’'s story several months ago, brought on the investi- gation, began. ‘White, after giving his name and address and saying he was a duly elected member of the Illinois legis- lature, identified letters he said had been sent him by Lee O’Neil Browne asking White’s help to establish Browne’s position as minority leader in the lower house of the legislature. The witness then began to tell of his relations with Browne leading up to his acceptance of an alleged bribe of $1,000. White, on direct examination by At- torney Austrian, declared he had been asked by Minority Leader Browne to vote for Lorimer and that Browhe told him he would receive $1,000 for his vote. The testimony was the same as has been given by White in the two trials of Browne. First Clash of Hearing. The first severe clash of the hear- ing came when Attorney Austrian asked what money was promised White. The representative replied: “I asked Browne how much I would get ‘from other sources’ and he re- plied, ‘Oh, about as much more."” Senator Lorimer’s attorney objected to this answer, arguing that the “other sources” were entirely outside the case. “This brings up,” he said, “what has been’ referred to as the ‘jackpot.” By the . words of the witness ‘other sources’ it is shown that it has no connection with the election ot Sen- ator Lor'imer.” To - which, Attorney Austrlan re- plied: “We claim that this line of testi- mony is relevant because’ we will show that the Democratic state senators and .representatives who voted for Lorimer voted for him as a part of a system in which their votes on other measures, and their vote for Senator Lorimer were corelated. We are try- ing to.show there was a general state of corruption in that legislature and that men there were trying to bribe others.” The committee retired into execu- tive session to consider admissibility of this line of evidence. “KID M'GOY" NEAR DEATH Passenger on Naphtha Launch De- stroyed by Fire. New York, Sept. 27.—Norman Sel- by, known in the prize ring and cafe business as “Kid McCoy,” narrowly escaped death from fire, explosion and drowning in the North river, when a haphtha launch owned by Ernest Tribelhorn, a real estate man, was to- tally destroyed. McCoy ‘was™ saved from death through the prowess of Frank George, who was his only companion in the little vessel when it went down. George swam ashore from the burn- ing launch and rowed back with a boat in time to save McCoy, who was weakening fast. S WEEK black and blue. shrunk and afternoon. Each T0 TA FMMING GOUNTHY Electric Line From 8t, Pa ul to South- e ern Minnesota. St. Paul, Sept. 27.—An electric, in- terurban railway connecting St. Paul with the vast territory tributary to the Minnesota valley in the. southern part of the state is projected by St. Paul capifalists. The. exact route of the line is not announced as yet, but enough is known to say authoritative- ly that Mankato, St. Peter and other citles in that locality, will be on the main line. Branch lines will be con- structed reaching the outlying farm- ing districts.” ‘The lines will tap a rich. agricultural district. Child Crushed by Wagon. Berthold, N. . D. Sept. 27.—Eva Flora, aged' three years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Berry, was crushed to death under a wagon loaded with filled' water barrels. She was playing about the wagon, which had been stopped on a small knolt, and in some manner it gained a start down hill The child fell under one of the wheels and the wagon stopped just soor enough to pin her down. Widow of Ira D. Sankey Dead. New York, Sept. 27.—Mrs. Francis Victoria Sankey, widow of Ira D. San key, the singing evangelist, died at her home in Brooklyn. She was seventy- one years old. Mrs. Sankey was born in Harrisburg, Pa.,, and married Mr. Sankey in 1863. Again Tries to See Governor. St. Paul, Sept. 27.—With a loaded revolver in his pocket Michael Angelo Scavo, ‘the former proprietor of the “Bucjet of' Blood” saloon, again at- tempted to force his way into Gov- ernor Eberhart’s. office. He was stopped . by ‘Special Officer O’Connor, who arrested him and turned him over to the officers of the Central station. He is believed to be demented. The Curious Mistletoe. The story of how the mistletoe gets on the treesjs a most interesting one Covering the mistletoe twigs are pear- ly . white berries. These come in the winter season, when food is compara- tively scarce, and hence some birds eat them freely. Now. when a robin eats a cherry he swallows simply the meat and flips the stone away. The seed of the mistletoe the bird cannot flip. 1t is sticky and holds to his bill. His only resource is to wipe it off, and he does so, leaving it sticking to the branches of the tree on which he is sitting at the time. This seed sprouts after a time, and pot finding earth— which, indeed,its ancestral habit has made it cease wanting—it sinks its roots into the bark of the tree and hunts there for the pipes that carry the sap. Now, the sap in the bark is the very richest in the tree, far richer than that in the wood, and the mistletoe gets from its host the cholcest-of food With a strange foresight it does not throw its leaves away, as do most parasites, but keeps them to use in winter, when the®tree is leafless. Already Planned. There were few persons who knew the Locke !umlly even in a casual way who had mot dfscovered ‘that Mrs. Locke was.in the habit of nagging her husband and children. She loved them dearly, but at times nobody would have surmised it. “What did Mr. Locke say whe,n he found himself safe after those hours of danger?” some one asked a friend who had been in ‘company with Mr, Locke on an ocean steaemr which met with an accident in mid-Atlantic. “He never says the ordinary thing.” “No,” said the friend, with a dry smile. “He didn’t that time. I said to him, ‘James, we ought to make some- thing more of our lives from having them spared to us in this way,” for I had felt pretty solemn, I can tell you. .| I've no doubt James did, too, but what he sald was, ‘Willlam, a good share of the rest of my life will be spent in ex- plaining to Theodora how I happened to choose that steamer when. there were dozens of others that ' reached home without any accident.’ "—Youth's Companion. . The Long Spoon. “Tomkyns” recently heard the ex- pression .“If, you sup with. the devil you-will need a long spoon.” “Though I never heard It before,” he says, “it is evidently fairly well known, and what I should like to know is, What does 1t mean, and where does it come from " It means that if you are going to sit down to a meal with his Satanic majesty you will need a long spoon to avoid the necessity of getting too near the .old gentleman and, in its general sense, of course, it implies that if you have dealings with a dan- gerous or notorious person it behooves you to use great caution. It:comes from one of the “Ingoldsby Legends,” and the quotation reads: Who suppes with the Deville sholde have @ long spoone. ~London Answers. A Queer Diagnosis. A celebrated Dublin physician was.

However, a highly respectable maiden aunt of mine had a different experi- ence. She went to consult him.

SAYS CONTEST IS CLOSE “Old Guard” Will Make No Predic- tions, but the Progressives Claim They Will Name Roosevelt for Tem- porary Chairman by One Hundred Majority—Platform Prepared by Progressives Decidedly Rooseveltian. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 27.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has arrived from New York and his coming increased the confidence of the progressives, who predict he will be chosen tempo- rary chairman of the Republican state convention by a majority that may reach 100. With the coming of Vice President Sherman on the scene of pelitical bat- tle the “old guard” forces redoubled their energies to secure control of the Republican state convention and pre- vent Colonel Roosevelt and the pro- gressives from naming the candidates and writing the party platform. Mr. Sherman had scarcely alighted from the train before he was in con- ference with William Barnes, Jr., who frankly stated that neither side had a majority of the delegates. “No, there is nothing to say,” said Vice President Sherman. “And there won’t be anything to say later, as I look at it.” “Who is going to be temporary chairman of the convention?” “L.am,” was the reply; “that’s what 1 came here for.” “Doesn’t it look rather gloomy?” asked an up-state newspaper man. “Oh, no; perfectly delightful.” Mr. Sherman was in high good hu- mor and was cordially greeted by the leaders of both sides. Roosevelt Men Confident. The most hopeful of the “old guard” leaders will not go beyond saying that they expect the fight will be a close one, but in the progressive camp there is no one who does not say that the battle has already been won by the friends of Colonel Roosevelt, whose arrival filled his supporters with confidence. The colonel insists that his friends will have a majority of at least 100 delegates. The former president’s declaration that he would accept no compromise on the direct nominations’ plank will, it is believed, bring up that issue, which was the chief cause of the pres- ent contest, as the principal point to be fought out, aside from the struggle self. The tentative platform of the pro- gressives has been described by one of its drafters as “short, crisp and dis- tinctive Rooseveltian.” It is understood that the main plank is for direct nominations on the lines already announced by Lloyd C. Gris- com. The document. is said also to contain a labor clause and a strong commendation of the work of the leg- islative probe committee. Retribution. Young Father «in the future)—Great spakes!
