At the present time most of the war horses in the world are Missouri mules, At last the secret is out. The John- sons over here are the Vitches of cen- tral Europe. “Be truthful, be honest, and perse- vere,” says Senator Platt on his sev- entieth birthday. When the ice man wants more money he just takes it, without any preliminary negotiating. There is no war on the Bulgarian frontier, but the Turkish and Bul- garian troops are fighting. Crimes caused by jealousy are at most always inspired by a woman who isn’t fit to be jealous of. As yet no arrangements have been made for an exchange of visits be- tween the mikado and the czar. If a man could be as good as he intends to when he gets married what @ happy time women would have. It is a mean woman who will ask her late returning husband to pro- nounce one of those Servian names. Again Santos-Dumont in his airship has circled the Eiffel tower without bumping into it. Now what will he fly at next? Anecdotes of children’s smartness are a lot funnier when they are our own children than when they are our neighbors. It seems much more refined to lay @ small wager than to gamble, but you can lose just as much one way as the other. It is to be hoped that none of those didn’t-know-it-was-loaded fools will get off without a few years in the peniten- tiary at least. It was only the lamp that hit young Willie K. Vanderbilt. How would he like to get a crack from the old buck automobile itself? King Peter has just had a birthday. We would strongly advise him to have as many of them as possible at his earliest convenience.

A New York woman lawyer has just been wooed and won by the attorney whom she defeated in a legal battle a few weeks ago. There’s a man with courage. This tendency toward consolidation in financial circles is a wonderful thing. There is even to be a merger of the warring members of the Van- derbilt family. The fact that an opera singer kissed Sir Thomas three times before he suspected what she was about is no sign that he means to desert the yacht for the smack. There were cries of “Vive Loubet!” as the President of France rode through the streets of London. He probably is still wondering what the enthusiastic people meant. The San Francisco man who has been obliged to go into insolvency in consequence of his unsuccessful at- tempt to corner lima beans, realizes ‘that he didn’t know them. When the prince of Wales departed from the Kearsarge the band played “God Save the King,” though just how the prince knew that it was not play- ing “America” we can’t quite make out. © The decision of a Brooklyn magis- trate that for one woman to call an- other an old maid is a serious case of disorderly conduct increases the swelling ranks of our Dogberrys by one shining member. It cannot be denied that the emo- tional fervor of the compliments ex- changed by kings, ministers, visiting naval officers and others attests to the stimulating qualities of the cham- pagne used on these occasions. Humanitarians would be happier over the abolishment of the cudgel and knout in the Russian penal sys- tem there was not a new provision for beating with birch rods up to 100 blows for “slight offenses and mis- demegnors..”. Before giving its unqualified ap- proval te the agamo mermis culicis the public will want to know some thing about it.

PATRIARCH OF VENICE ELECTED PONTIFF OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. HIS ELECTION WAS UNANIMOUS MEMBERS OF THE SACRED COL- LEGE ARE WELL SATISFIED AT RESULT. IS OVERCOME WITH EMOTION CARDINAL SARTO FAINTS SEV- ERAL TIMES WHEN ELECTION SEEMS SURE. Rome, Aug. 5.—The conclave after ‘being in session for four duys, yester- day elected Guiseppe Sarto, patriarch of Venice, as pope to succeed Leo XIIL, and he now reigns at the Vaticdn and over the Catholic world as Pius X. Last night all Rome was illuminated in his honor. His election and the assumption of his holy office were marked by a strik- ing demonstration and impressive cer- emonies at the Vatican. To-day the new pope, clad -in his full pontifical robes and with all the ritualistic cere- mony, will receive the members of the diplomatic corps, the cardinals and the bishops, who will then offer their official homage, this notwithstanding the fact that twice yesterday the car- dinals and many high officials of the Vatican went through a similar cere- mony. The date upon which the coronation of Pius X. will occur has not yet been decided, but the impression prevails that it will occur Aug. 9. Election Was Unanimous. The election of the patriarch of Venice was unanimous. After Mon- day’s ballots it was a foregone con- clusion that he was the only candi- date sufficiently acceptable to all to se- cure the necessary two-thirds. which the laws of the church require. All the members of the sacred col- lege dedlare that they are very well satisfied with the election of Cardinal Sarto. but the anti-Rampolla party consider it as their special victory. When the first ballot was taken it showed that the sacred college was di- vided into two groups, the stronger one for Rampolla and another. not quite so strong, for Serafino Vannu- telli. The other votes were scattered, but included four for Sarto. On the subsequent ballots, while the two principal parties were losing ground, Sarto gradually gained, drawing « Strength From Both Sides as well as from the neutrals until the ballot on Monday afternoon, when his vote had increased to 37, within 6 of the necessary two-thirds, When the result of this ballot was announced in the conclave Cardinal Sarto was so overcome with emotion and so touched by the unlooked-for confidence reposed in him that he could no longer control his feelings, and to the surprise of all he broke down, declaring that such respousi- bility and honor were not for him, and that he must refuse if offered. Tears rolled down his cheeks and he seemed firm in his determination to refuse the dignity. He was so palpa- bly sincere that consternation reigned in the conclave and ‘the cardinais spent the whole evening~and far into the night in convincing him that his election was the will of Providence, and that he must accept. Several times he almost fainted and had to be revived by the use of salts. He seemed Happy but Broken Down even after all the other candidates had retired, and on the final ballot he looked a statue of resignation. As the yote approached 50, the cardinals, as of one accord, surrounded the new pontiff, and, according to traditions, demanded to know if he would accept the pontificate. Cardinal Sarto’s lips trembled so that he could hardly ar- ticulate, but after a visible effort he said: “If this cup cannot pass from me,”— there he paused, but the cardinals around him insisted that it was neces- sary for him to answer “yes” or “no.” Thereupon he replied firmly: “I ac- cept.” Cardinal Gibbons, speaking to a rep- resentative of the Associated Press, said that the election of Cardinal Sar- to had produced the best impression in the entire sacred college, being a man of much piety, tact and culture, and that he was best fitted to be the head of the church at the present time. Continue Leo’s Policy. It is generally believed that Pius X. will continue the policy of his prede- cessor. * Guiseppe Sarto was born in Riesi, diocese of Treviso, June 2, 1835, ana was created a cardinal in 1893. He was made patriarch of Venice in 1893 and bishop of Mantua. He be- longed to the ecclesiastical congrega- tions of bishops and regulars, sacred rite, indulgences and sacred relics. The new pope is one of eight chil- dren, two sons and six daughters. One of his sisters is a dressmaker, another is married to a sacristan and peddlar, a third married a wine shopkeeper and the others are unmarried. 4 MURDERED TWO. Request for a Match Is Followed by é the Killing of Two. : Helena, Mont., Aug. 5.—Alex Sheely shot and killed Bert Crawford and fa- tally wounded Walter Alkire at. Pony. Alkire asked Sheely for’a match to light his cigarette, and Sheely replied that he had none. A!- kire put hfs hand in Sheely’s pocket looking for a match. They commenced to scuffle, when Sheely broke away and picked up a pick, which was taken away from him. He then went away and got a gun, came back and re- sumed the quarrel and pulled his gun and shot Alkire. Crawford stepped in to prevent the shooting, but Sheely turned his gun on him and shot him | twice, killing him instantly. He had al- ready shot Alkire and fatally wounded him. Alkire and Crawford were part- ners in a blacksmith shop, and both were recently married. Sheely was arrested and placed in jail. Excite- ment ran high and there was talk of lynching, but better counsel prevailed and the feeling soon subsided. IOWA SWEPT BY STORM. Rain and Hail Causes Considerable Damage. Council Bluffs, Iowa, Aug. 5. — Spe- cials from Logan, Woodbine, Atlantic, Mason City and Clear Lake indicate that the past twenty-four hours have witnessed the heaviest falls of rain and hail that have been recorded in the state this season.

South Dakota Has One Experience Al- ready with the Flames. Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 5.—So rank is the growth of all kinds of vegetation throughout South Dakota this season that disastrous prairie fires will result this fall unless extraordinary precau- tions are taken. The first fire of this character this season occurred near Blunt, and was caused by the appar- ently trivial act of a farmer engaged in haying lighting his pipe and throw- ing the match on the dry grass. Aided by a fierce wind the flames covered an area of nine miles long and two miles wide before they were extinguished by the scores of men and boys who wére comyelled to turn out and fight the fire. Hay and other property worth several thousand dollars was de- stroyed as a result of the fire. ALLEGED HIGHWAYMEN.

Minneapolis, Aug. §—Four persons: were wounded last night and eleven shots fired through the madnese of a crazed man, thirsting for blood. Ed- ward Clark, the man who started the shooting, lies at the city hospital in a dangerous condition from a bullet at the hands of Patrolman Peter Mc- Laughlin. After Clark had shot Mo- torman Nelson of a Sixth avenue car without provocation, he fired two shots at a bystander, injuring James W. Williams, a colored man, and shot Lieut. George Revier of the centrab station as he was trying to arrest him. : The cause of Clark’s action is un- known, He absolutely refuses to speak. of the matter and declares he does not remember of firing a shot. The affair occurred at 11:30 o'clock last night during a heavy rainstorm. Clark was: standing by the street car tracks at Hennepin avenue and Third street when a Sixth avenue car, in charge of Motorman Marcus Nelson, ap- proached. Without a word of warning or any cause whatever he opened fire on Nelson, hitting him once in the right side of the head, just above the cheek bone, and once in the left wrist. The other two shots did uot take ef- fect. Clark men turnes und immedi- ately started running .o Washington avenue. He passed a patrolman in his flight, Who Gave Chase and followed him into Lock-up alley, firing three shots. Lieut. Revier and Patrolman MeLaughlin were in the station, and, hearing the shots, ran out, A man shouted that Clark Had run on down andy Revier followed down First avenue, while McLaughiin went down High street. Revier, ac- companied by a newspaper reporter, sighted the man near the union depot. The reporter accosted him and asked him if he had seen a man _ running. Without a word Clark pulled a revol— ver and fired point blank at the report- er, missing him and wounding James W. Williams, a colored man. Lieut. Revier caught his arm with his left hand while he dove into his pocket with his right to pull his gun, but Clark, with a snarl of rage at the sight of the officer, turned and fired at him. The bullet entered tht forearm, caus- ing a painful fiesh wound and Clark jerked himself loose and ran, while Revier tried to secure his revolver witth his ltft hand. McLaughlin, who had heard the shots, came running toward the spot and saw the crazed man start torun. He fired three shots into the air, and then aiming his re- volver, fired, striking Clark in the top of the head and bringing him down. A carriage which was passing was utilized and Clark was thrown into it and carried to the lock-up. He was placed in the patrol and taken to the city hospital, where it was found that, although the bullet did not penetrate the brain, concussion is probable. WHEAT IS DAMAGED.
