By C. E. KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, MINNESOTA. The long skirt is the rage. If you want to see the rage, step on the skirt. i The poetry of motion is all right, but the poetry of emotion sells better to the magazines. The sublime porte is exposing itself to the danger of having its sublime nose knocked out of shape. If the Newport millionaires object to the curiosity of the common herd they shouldn’t keep a Harry Lehr. The new $20 gold certificate is said to be extremely hard to counterfeit. Unfortunately it is also hard to get. Of course M. Witte’s courtesy to his Jewish visitors was not tempered by the fact that most of them were bank- ers. Philadelphia may vote its dead men, but there is ample evidence that it does not put them on its baseball teams. The Harvard professor’s discovery puts one vexed question forever at rest. The moon is not made of creen cheese, Wait till the football hero comes on the scene and then see how much ice the star pitcher and the ring “athlete” will cut. Small waists, according to the fash- ion authorities, are to be “the rage.” Plump sister, lace up with the tashion authorities. Professors may require measure- ments to determine who is beautiful, but most people can do the measuring with their eyes, Astronomers all agree that the moon has become thoroughly dried since it was scooped out of the place where the Pacific ocean now is. We all know what kind of a time the sailors on the steamship Montrose had wher 200 monkeys and forty par- rots broke loose from their cages. Some Englishman thinks there are too many Americans in London. There is, however, no complaint of a super- abundance of American money there. The New York World suggests that we be kind to burglars. If they can find anything valuable in our house we are willing to share it with them. It is explained that the New York woman settlement worker who danced in blue pajamas for the gentlemen is 60 years old. She certainly acted like sixty. Blame the earthquake on the sun- spots, if it is any consolation to you. But have you stopped to think the sunspots may be caused by the earth- quakes? A London cable dispatch says the prices of sables have been nearly dou- bled, but unless there fis an upward movement in “imitation seal” most of us will not worry. The number of cigars manufactured in this country last year is given 7,689,337,207. We are glad those last seven were included, for we think we know where they went to. Life, according to John Oliver Hobbes, is becoming hard and serious, and we need humor as a relief. Yes, and something in the way of comfort to enable us to enjoy humor. How would you like'to be Mr. C. T. Crocker only son of the late Califor- nia millionaire, who reached his 21st birthday last week, and now comes into his inheritance of $6,000,000? Despite the fact that peace has been declared, Godzyadani, Manchuria, is dying hard. Godzyadani looks so tough, despite familiarity, that we shall feel lucky if it is finally killed at all. Young man, when your father says, “When I was your age I never had half as easy a time as you have,” he is usually repeating what he heard when he was your age.—Chicago Tri- bune. Prof. Williston of the university of Chicago is much more pleased at find- ing the remains of that dinosaur out in Wyoming than he would have been if the dinosaur had found him when it was alive. Mr. James Edward* Britt, represent- ing the United States, and Mr. Mat- thew Oscar Nelson, representing Den- mark, settled another international dispute in a method somewhat out of the recent order of things. According to Dr. Carpenter, a Penn- sylvania surgical expert, the rush and hurry of living—the pursuit of the al- mighty dollar—is the most plainly de- ducible cause for the existence of ap- pendicitis. Go a little slower after this. A New York theatrical manager has signed a contract with a young lady in California, who, he believes, will turn out to be another May Irwin. Her picture, however, shows that at pres-} ent she doesn’t weigh more than 120: pounds. Washington. President Roosevelt signed an order creating thé Dixie forest reserve in Utah. The new reserve imbraces 465,- 900 aeres, 94 per cent of which.is pub- lic lands. Charges have been preferred against several western roads for giving dis- criminating rates to the Standard Oil company in Iowa. The Marshall Oil company of that state has preferred a complaint with the interstate com- merce commission. The Burlington line, the St. Paul and subsidiary roads are interested in the case. Consul General Rogers‘ at Shanghai, cabled the state department as fol- lows “There is. no longer any evi- dnce of boycott conditions in or about Shanghai, and American trade is ac- tive, particularly with the northern part of China, and there has been no stamping of goods (boycott marks) as was reported. On the whole the condition of affairs seems to be satis- factory.” Foreign. Russia has ordered 60,000 tons of the best steam coal at Cardiff to be deliv- ered at Kronstadt within a month. Another tornado caused enormous damage in Calabria, Italy. A clear- ance of the debris caused by the re- cent earthquake shows the number of persons who perished was greater than thought. Reports from the famine districts in Spain show that the workmen threat- en to burn and sack if they are not furnished with food. Appeals have been sent to the government to dis- tribute rations. 5 It is reported that President Amador and the canal commission are endeav- oring to attract Spanish immigrants from the famine-stricken districts. of Galacia. They are considered to be the best workmen for Panama. During the naval maneuvers at Cher- pourg two torpedo boats collided and remained interlocked until they were towed to port, where*they were sepa- rated by tugs. Investigation showed that the boats had suffered serious damage. Mr..C. Miller, the Minneapolis man who has promoted the Guadalajara- Chamela, in Mexico, has been granted another federal concession for a line extending east from Guadalajara to San Miguel Allende, a station on the National road. Twelve thousand spectators of a bull fight at Nimes, France, broke up the chairs and set fire to the barris- ters surrounding the arena because the matadors refused to kill another bull as another encore after they had dispatched five. The London Daily Telegraph’s Tokio correspondent says that the British Far Eastern squadron will assemble in Tokio early in October, after the rati- fication of the Russo-Japanese treaty, and that the Japanese fleet will also assemble at the same place. Large forces of troops have already been drafted into Finland. Over 1,200 men arrived at Helsingfors to rein- force the garrison of Sveaborg, which is adjacent to Helsingfors, and garri- sons at other points have also been re- inforced by 700 to 1,000 men. Criminal. John A. Norton, once a candidate for governor of Connecticut on the So- cialist ticket, committed suicide by inhaling gas through a tube. James P. Hennessy, a clerk who re- cently confessed to stealing $40,000 from the estate of D. Percy Morgan, was sentenced to seven years. i Capt. G. M. Godfrey, assistant sur- geon in the United States army, sta- tioned at Fort McPherson, shot him- self through the brain. The cause of the suicide is not known. A double murder occurred at Lock- port, La., near Lake Charles, R. B. Holloway of that place and Tom Bow- man of Orange, Tex., being the vic- tims. No clue to the assassin. John M.

The Meteor, the fast Frisco line passenger train, bound for St. Louis, was wrecked near Catoosa, I. T. The engine, tender and four coaches jump- ed the track and were demolished. Several persons were injured. Thomas Johnson, aged 32, was saw- ed in two while at work at Bucyrus, Ohio. He was running the saw and stooped down to remove a piece of bark.

The girl’s body was bad- ly crushed. While returning from the ball game between Newark and the Columbus American association team at Newark, Ohio, three street cars loaded with players and spectators were in col- lision.

The enormous sum that the Standard Oil company pays in dividends yearly igs not widely realized. This year the company will pay about $37,000,000. The question as to what amount John D. Rockefeller receives of this amount has often been asked, and though there is no official figures for his hold- ings of Standard Oil stock, it is thought that he owns at least one-third of the capital.

EDDIE CUDAHY PLANNED THE SCHEME TO WORK BOY’S FATH-— ER FOR RANSOM. TELLS A VERY WEIRD TALE COY¥ WAS LEADING SPIRIT IN AD- VENTURE AND WAS NOT A PRISONER. GOT $6,000 OF THE RANSOM “PAT SAYS HE IS TIRED OF BEING HUNTED AND WANTS TO BE Goop. a Butte, Mont., Oct. 4..—.Pat Crowe, who was arrested in Butte Monday night by two detectives after he had been openly about the oity for a week and had introduced himself to various persons, last night made a sensational statement relative to the kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy, declaring that the proposition to work the boy’s father for a ransom came from the boy him- self. Crowe gives a story of his life and says he was a prosperous butcher in South Omaha when the elder Cudahy came there, built a packing house and drove him out of business. After that he went to work for Cudahy and thus became acquainted with the family. st How It Began. On Sept. 6, 1900, he met young Cud- ahy on the street and the boy first broached the subject of “working the old man” for a big ransom, he says. At first Crowe paid no attention to the proposition, but it was repeated later and with such details that he concluded to go in with the boy. A third person was taken in, but he got “cold feet,” believing the scheme was atrap. The Cudahy boy proposed de- manding $50,000 from his father, but Crowe and Callahan, the second man he took into the scheme, thought $25,- 000 was enough. The story of Crowe as to how the kidnapping was worked and how Cudahy drove out into a lone- some place and left the money agrees fully with the first published stories of the affair, but he says young Cudahy was the leading spirit in the adven- ture and was never a prisoner. The three divided the $25,000, young Cudahy being giver $6,000 as_ his share. He was then taken to his home and left a fe wblocks from the Cudahy house. Pat Crowe’s Story. In his statement Crowe says: “I was laying low in Omaha one day at the corner of Twentieth and Farnam streets, when I met Eddie Cudahy, as T have told you. He knew me as hav- ing at one time worked for his father, and I knew who he was. “*Pat,’ he said, ‘we can make $25,- 000. I need the money and I guess you do, too.’ This was in the early part of September, the Cudahy. family having returned from their summer yacation trip on Sept. 2. Then while we were standing on the corner, Eddie briefly mapped out the kidnapping plan, which we later executed. “At first I thought he was just kid- ding; that it was a crazy idea that he had no idea of going through with. I met him again and he had the scheme mapped out in earnest, to the smallest detail. Then I saw he was in earnest and decided to go in with him. I got an- other féllow and we began work on the plan. Everything was arranged for pulling off the deal in October, just about a month before it really oc curred. He Got ‘Cold Feet.’ “Then, just a few days before the kidnapping was to have taken place, my partner, the third man in the deal, got ‘cold feet’ and he thought it was trap and quit. We had to postpone the move and wait until I could find another man, which I did within a few weeks, and again the time of the kidnapping was fixed. It was Nov. 18 and the plan as originally mapped out by young Ed Cudahy was executed on Nov. 18, with, of course, a few slight alterations. “I want to go back to Omaha and face it all out. Only God Knows how I have suffered, being chased from city to city like a dirty cur. I hope I may be given an opportunity to mend my ways, and God knows I will be come a good citizen.”” The interview was in the presence of an old friend of Crowe's father and mother, and during his talk Crowe al- most broke down, so great was his emotion. His -veice was husky, and jt was only with an effort that he was able to articulate. Ball Player Hurt. Harmony, Minn., Oct. 4.—William Norton, a young man from Cresco, was seriously injured in a ball game here by being hit with a pitched ball. He remained unconscious for ‘several ‘hours. It is thought he will recover. ‘Farmer Hangs Himself. ‘Eau Claire, Wis., Oct. 4. — Thomas Mitchell, fifty-eight years old and a well-to-do farmer of the town of Wash- ington, hanged himself in his barn be- cause of {ll health. ENE Bas and tedatstriak Interests Favor Monarchy. Christiania, Oct. 4.— Attempts to create agitation in favor of a Norwe- gian republic are finding no support from the country. The leaders of the movement appealed for addresses for presentation to the storthing in favor of a republican form of government, but so far the appeal has met with no response. The commercial and in- dustrial interests appear to desire no disturbance of the existing order of things. At an important meeting held here yesterday of representatives of commercial and shipping interests, it was unanimously resolved to present an address to the storthing declaring that the submission of the subject of a change in the constitution to the plebscite would greatly injure the country’s economic interests. An ad- dress was drawn up embodying the foregoing and tn addition asking the ,Storthing to insure tranquility by the speedy election of a king. LET DOWN BARS IN TWO WEEKS. New Orleans Surgeon Reports Condi- tions Improving. New Orleans, Oct. 4.—Having gone almost to the Texas State line, Sur- geon White of the marine hospital service, returned yesterday generally pleased with the result of his trip. He expressed the opinion that quarantine over a large portion of the state would be materially modified by the middle of the present month. The surgeon general has ordered another of Dr. White’s officers to Mississippi to help out on the gulf coast, where the situ- ation is far from promising. The report to 6 p. m. yesterday was as follows: New cases, 30; total to date, 3,072; deaths, 2; total deaths, 396; new foci, 5; under treatment, 210; discharged, 2,466. The situation in Willswood, where elecen cases were discovered Monday, has resulted in the establishment of an emergency hospital there. KEPT HIS SEX A SECRET. Supposed Female Lion Tamer Is a Milwaukee Man. Chicago, Oct. 4.—It was learned yes- terday.that the supposed young wo- man who was fatally mangled by the lions in Robinson Bros.’ circus at Gil- man, Ill., Monday afternoon, was not a woman, but a young man who has been acting as a female impersonator for several years. His name is Frank Kennedy, and his father, Ed Kennedy, is a resident of Milwaukee. George Gruss,.a friend of Kennedy, who revealed the real identity of “Miss Blondel.” IS GRANDSON OF HAMILTON.

Murdered by Negro Robbers. Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 4. — Early yesterday six negro desperadoes en- tered a Greek boarding house at Ray- land, Ohio, and, after robbing about thirty laborers, killed one man who resisted. The police are searching the vicinity for the negroes. Killed by a Train.

PRESIDENT IS IN DANGER SWEDE WHO DID SHOOTING SAYS HE WAS GOING TO SEE ROOSEVELT. IS A DANGEROUS CRIMINAL THE INFURIATED SPECTATORS WOULD HAVE LYNCHED MAN BUT FOR POLICE. Pittsburg, Oct. 4—Hugh Hamilton, a prominent poultry raiser of Greens- boro, Green county, Pa., was perhaps fatally shot yesterday in a crowded dining room on Smithfield street by Anthony Olson, a well-educated young Swede who had never seen Hamilton before. The police are of the opin- ion that he is the same Olson who, on Oct. 5, 1904, entered the White House with evidently murderous intent, shot an officer and made his escape, and that Olson came from Minneapolis, having lived at £43 Cedar avenue, in that city. The Minneapolis police have been asked concerning him. Olson is-in the central station, where he was taken only after the greatest trouble by a squad or police- ment. An infuriated crowd of spec- tators gathered around the Swede after the shooting and would Have lynched him had it not been for the overwhelming number of police. Picture of Debs. When searched a number of an- archistic papers and a photograph of Eugene Debs were found on his per- son. He also had $92 in cash in two posketbooks and a ticket for Washing- ton. To the police he admitted that he was en route to the capital for the purpose of seeing the president, but he would not say why he wanted to see him. The greatest mystery surrounds the shooting. Shortly before noon Ham- ilton entered a hotel on Smithfield street and sat down at one of the tables. Almost at the same time Olson entered and took the opposite seat at the same table. Shooting Is Sudden. Without a word the Swede drew a revolver from his pocket and fired at Hamilton. The latter, although hit, rushed for the street, with Olson in pursuit. Hamilton entered a jewelry store next door. Olson followed him. There the Swede fired two more shots, both of which took effect, before he could be placed under arrest. The Swede refused to say anything of himself or even to give his name. Although so many had witnessed the shooting Olson denied all knowledge of it. He admitted that he had never seen Hamilton before and did not know him. . Is Carefully Watched. The police believe that Olson is a most dangerous criminal and he is be- ing most carefully watched. An ante-moriem statement was made by Hamilton at the hospital last night. He declares -he never saw Olson before and that the assault was entirely unprovoked. Doctors say Hamilton cannot live. Hamilton is well known as a business man and is quite wealthy. TEXANS JEER AT MILITIA. Searchers Are Unable to Find Negro Who Escaped. Edna, Tex., Oct. 4.—There is little new in the situation regarding the chase after the negro, Monk Gibson, charged with the murder of five of the Conditt family. There are still 700 men in the bottoms who have been searching for miles, with no trace of the negro that has led to anywhere. Four companies of militia are en- camped here, and they are being jeered by. many of the younger ele- ment, while the older heads content themselves with criticisms of the gov- ernor and facetious remarks about “tin soldiers.” There are now many who believe that the negro either got away or died. The negro escaped on Friday night after having been given a thrashing severe enough to‘have ma- terially weakened a much stronger man. J. W. RIDDLE MEETS KING. St. Paul Man, Minister to Roumania, Presents Credentials. Bucharest, Roumania, Oct. 4.—John W.
