ALBERT LEA, Mimi. Oct. 2S.-On no.
ticing the items in the st. Paul Pioneer
Press and the Minneapolis Journal with
reference to the letter of DIR. r. B. Abbott,
president of the Albert Lea college, on
John A. Lovely's candidacy for congress. the
GLOBE correspondent interviewed Dr..
Abbott, who expressed himself as follows:
have always been Il Rep lblican and / am a
Republican still. l expect to vote the Re-
publican ticket in the main, but claim the
right to make corrections according to my
own Judgment, and as for John A. Lovely,
have had no reason to change my opinion as
expressed in my letter In the GLOBE some
weeks ago. Whoever took the responsibility
of forwarding those items to the Press and
Journal had no authority from me to do SO
and falsified my position.
DR.. Abbott further said that he had writ
ten the Press and Journal informing them
that he had made no such statements. lie
APPEARED VERY INDIGNANT
because he had been so mlsrepresented, and
handed me letter to the GLOBE in his
own handwriting and over his own sigma
ture, as follows:

has occurred to induce change. No Que

statements. Yours truly, r. B. ABBOTT.
The above shows the desperation of the
Lovely workers. They have to resort to
deliberate lies to help his cause-just like
the rest of the lies that he is Methodist,

SHAKoPEE, Mimi, Oct. 2S.-The cir
cular issued for distribution in this district
headed Republican Reasons Why Repub-
licans Should Not Vote for B. B. Herbert"
and signed Many Republicans. is proving
the great card of the campaign. 1t has
been widely circulated throughout the dis
trict, and wherever it has gone it has
created decided sensation. causing Repub
licans who had been intending to vote for
Herbert to declare they could not support
such traitor to their party. and that they
would either vote for Macdonald or leave
congressman blank. While this has been
the result all over the district it is probable
the circular produced greater excitement
and Indignation here in ShakOpee, the home
of Maj. Strait, than at any
other place. The Republican friends
and supporters Of Maj. Strait
very generally knew that Mr.. Herbert had
uniformly opposed him when candidate
for Congress- but they had no idea such OPP
position had been carried to the extent the
circular proves it to have been. and when
they read in cold type HerbertS abuse Of
the Major, his'charges OF iliteracy and cor
ruption. and the dirty BOOM comparison.
their Indignation was most pronounced and
emphatic; and. what is worse still, the in
dignati0n seems to become more intense the
more the circular is studied and the proofs
analysed by which this disgraceful opposi-
ton is brought directly home to Mr.. Her
bert. Only this morning three Of the lead
ing Republicans of the city. strong friends
of Major Strait, and active workers in all
his campaigns, were discussing the effect of
the circular, when one of them remarked
ut will change a thousand votes in this
district" to which another of the party re-
sponded, ''If it does not change twice that
number of votes shall be disappointed.
And then the third clipped in with the re-
mark, If Herbert continues making such
lame apologies for his bolts as he did at
Pennington. the figures will be nearer five
thousand than two" And so Republicans
are commenting all over the district. and
while there are hardly doubt of the cleo
ton of Judge Macdonald before the appear
ance of the circular, this result is now
secured beyond question.

KAssoN. Mimi, Oct. 2S.-Here is the
place where John A. Lovely committed
political hara kiri, and the Republican
party has reason to hang its head in shame
at the mention of the name of KasSon.
The memory of the disreputable primaries
and the diSgraceful manner in which the
congressional nomination was secured, still
hang over the place like dark pail. The
kasson convention has passed into history
as a black spot upon the political record of
Minnesota. and its evil effect will not soon
be obllterated. John A. Lovely was a
defeated man from the moment the con-
yentiOn adjourned. and he has never been
able to make any headwaw against the tide
that set in against him then and has
steadily increased in pace until now.
Judge Wilson spoke here tonight. and
MADE MANY FRIENDS,
and obliterated number OF erroneous inn
pressions that had been formed owing to
the circulating of false stories about him.
Amos Coggswell was announced to assist
i'm the speaking, but was unable to be pres
ent owing to an engagement in Steele
county. The Republican majority in
Dodge county is usually 600, but well posted
men here are confident that LOvely's major
ity cannot exceed 300, and Wilson is liable
to carry the county himself. In the Scandi-
navian settlement especially Wilson has de-
veloped great deal of strength. Lovely
has no very warm friends here, and his
support will not BIZ very active and enthu-
siastic. There are scores of Republicans
who have vivid recollection of how Lovely
carried the primaries. and they are out
spoken in their condemnation of him. He
will be surprised wnen he reads the returns
from the strong Republican county in which
he was nominated. The citizens of Kasson,
irrespective of party, gave the judge cor
dial welcome, and he received many callers
at his hotel during the afternoon.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 2S.-From all &C
counts there must have been a frightful
scene in the car wherein the fatality oc-
Cured. The pressure caused the coach to
assume the position of the letter A.
Lamps were broken, the stove overturned,
scattering the fire and flames in all
directions through the coach. Mangled
and bleeding, nearly all the passengers
were pinned securely by broken seats. many
shrieks told the story of fractured limbs. to
which was added the horror of cremation
alive. 1t is positive that only three escaped.
Charles R. Smith is medical student of
Chicago. His parents live in Charles City,
La. Mrs. Scherer's two children, whom
she reached out OF a window as the flames
surrounded her. are years and months
old respectively. The hero OF the catas-
trophe was the engineer, who. in
the face of seeming death. held his
hand on the throttle and thus saved the
lives of all the passengers in the sleeper,
then when the train stopped crawled out
from beneath his engine, bleeding, and
alarmed the sleepers of the danger from
fire. Passengers from the sleepers gathered
around the blazing cars, but they were
powerlesS to render assistance. Men and
women could be seen tearing their hair in
the agony of the moment. and
FRIGHTFUL SCREAMS
issued from the death trap. One heavy
woman in particular, tore up one
of the heavy seats with almost superhuman
strength and endeavOred to break her way
out of the flaming pile, but her strength
failed and she fell to the floor and met O.

A man was observed as he forced his

cars were consumed, with the exception of
