JOHN Voss of Kiel was in the city a
couple of days this week. He is pro-
nounced in his advocacy of tariff reform
and says he cannot understand how any
farmer can hesitate to join the democrats
on this issue. Mr.. Voss is in no way de-
ceived by the claim that farmers are pro-
tected. He asks: "what is the danger to
Us farmers if wheat is shipped in here
from Canada or India? 1t must go out
of the country again with our surplus to
that great wheat market of the world,
Liverpool 1t does not make any differ
ence to us by what route Canadian or
Indian wheat reaches Liverpool"

tion of the War Records OF the H00sier
and Other Copperheads-A Magnificent
Grafton.
WAsHlSGroN, May 2-Senator Ingalls,
made great campaign speech yesterday.
II was for the country, and not for the gall
leries, for the Kansas Senator is always
sure Of an audience on whatever subject
he talks Among his hearers were the
families of Justice Lamar and several Cab
met officers. Fred Douglas sat In one of
the galleries, while on the floor Of the Sen
ate was another distinguished eol0red man,
ex Senator Bruce, OF Mississippi. Over on
the Democratic side were Postmaster Cen
eral Dickinson and Secretary Villas Both
were close listeners. There was a fun reg
lment OF Southern brigadiers on the floor
and Democratic members Of the House. All
Of Ingalls,, and most Of them despise the
class of Northern Democrats, like VOOr-
bees, who gTovel al their feet.
Ingalls, told friend that ne intended to
make a speech which every Republican
could indorse. and he kept his promise.
His review OF the historic relations Of Ne
Ciellan and Hancock to the Democracy was
so calm that it disappointed many Of his
hearers. But it was one that when read
will be found unanswerable A striking
point in his remarks was the statement
that the Supreme Court will DC one 81 the
greatest issues IN the coming campaign II

A Whole Family Found Dead In the Ruins
of Barn-Foui Play Feared.
OMAHA, Neb., May 5-Seven persons
were burned TO death early yesterday
morning in barn on g farm near Airing
ton, Neb They are:
Mrs. Freeze who was a widow; Fred
6rotclnsCfen. her scn-in-iaw: Mrs Fred
GTotelnschen; three children Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Grotelnsehen; Louis Grotelnschen.
They all lived on the farm, and had no
neighbors nearer than half a mile. Smoke
was seen in Arlington, and party of cit
liens went out TO investigate. Upon arriv-
ing at the farm they found the barn de-
stroyed, together with twenty FIVE head Of
stock In the ruins. scattered among the
dead horses and cattle, were the remains Of
the entire family.
No one knows how il happened. Some
entertain suspicion Of foul play. but ma
jority incline to the belief that the barn
took fire, perhaps through tho act of
an incendiarv, and that the family
rushed 10 rescue the live stock, and
while attempting to loosen them were suf-
located. The only survivor of the family
is a daughter, who IS away visiting. Ths
body Of Mrs. Grotclnsehcn was crushed ia
der the body of a horse, and was the on. y
one which could be recognized, the others
being terribly burned
The dwelling was found TO be in excel
lent order and the mornings work wGs
well under way. Every thing gees 10
show that upon discovery of the fire
in the barn rush was made t. save
the lives of the animals and all were
caught and smOthered. The three children
ranged in age from to G years. II 5 sing
UIar that these Young children should also
have been caught IN thebarn. The youn gest
one must have been carried there by thC
mother in her excitement.
At the coroncr's inquest no evidence was
produced to show foul play. The verdict
was that the fire was accidental. Louis
Grotelnschen, who was employed as u Ia
borer on the farm and who also persisted,
was a great smoker, and the fire may have
caught from sparks from his pipe. The
family is not known TO have had an enemy

HEAVY IMMIGRANT ARRIVALS.

Seven Thousand Foreigners Brought -
New York Friday-Railroads SWamped.
NEW YoRK, May 5-Yesterday was a
great day at Castle Garden. Immigrants
poured in by the thousands. and so great
was the crush that the railroads decided
not to sent out any immigrant trains last
night They were compelled 20 this course
because the immigrants, once in the garden,
could not be got back after registering
to the floats which take them TO the rail
road depots. The jam was so great that
the registered ones had to stay where they
were, packed in the garden The number
of immigrants landed was $3.50, as follows
Polaria, from Hamburg, SIS; Rotter-
dam, from Rotterdam, So; Gallia,
from Liverpool, l,25S; Britannia, from
Liverpool, oil: leasing, from Ham
burg. q16, and Lain, from Bremen,
rs. In addition the Rhaetia, from Ham
burg. with / .29s, and the Antilla, from Ma
pies. with 662, arrived. but the immigrants
could not be landed in the garden, and re
manned on shipboard over night. The grand
total Of immigrants arriving yesterday was
thus 1910 the third greatest day
since the Immigration Commission vas
started The record for the year up to date
is III, 80, an increase Of 1l.2S5 over the
same period last year. Three quarters of
the immigrants arriving on the Losing
and Polaria were Hungarians and Poles
bound for the coal mines and unfin-
ished railroads Of Pennsylvania. The
Rotterdam immigrants were H0llanders
with big families and having the farming
lands Of Michigan for their destination.
