GREASE FOR CAMPAIGN USE.
wo Civil Service Commissioners
Ante Up.


WAsHINGToN.O Oct. 30.-A well known
Republican leader, not now in office.
but prominently connected with the
congressional campaign committee, has
received from Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
civil service commissioner, contribu-
tion of $50 to be used for the legitimate
campaign expenses in any congressional
district where it is needed. EX-GOY.
Hugh Thompson, also member of the
commission, has sent in a contribution
in aid of the Democratic cause. In con-
yerSatiou to-day Mr.. Roosevelt said:
,"'rhere is no reason why. under Re-
publican administration, all the con-
tribuIiOns should be made to the Re-
publican campaign fund, and under
Democratic administration they should
all be to the Democratic fund. The
clerks are as much at ty to con-
tribute to one party as to another,
and they are perfectly safe and
free to make 10 contribution il they so
prefer. Within the classified service
the employ es are under obligations
TO no party. Gov. Thompson is Dem.
Ocrat, serving under this admiDistra-
ton: he makes contribution to aid his
party. / am Republican; / aid mine.
If we did not want to contribute we
would not. No one can force govern
ment empl0ye to contribute. nor, il he
desires to contribute. compel him to
contribute to this party rather than
that. That is all there is in the ques-
ton except that no employe shall solicit
directly or indirectly from any other
employe, and none shall give to OF take
from another employe. If there are po-
litical clubs of which government en-
ployes are members, there is no reason
why they should not be Democratic as
we'll as Republican. But any of them
will be prosecuted il we have evidence
of their trying to force contributions by
intimidation"

ing at full length On his back, with his
face upturned and covered with the
rime of the nights frost, poor old John
Jacob Searley was found by his son
early this morning. The body Was
quite cold, and death had evidently
taken place some hours before. A short
distance from where the body lay an
exploded rifle was found. and bloody
trail led from the gun to the place where
the body was discovered. The cause of
death was apparent. He had set trap
for deer, and had fallen into the snare
himself. The dead man was Seventy.SlX
years old and came here from Elkader,
To-, two years ago with his soh. He
settled on some land eight miles south
of this city. and being vigorous man
for his years he gave good deal of time
to hunting. Yesterday morning he left
home to look after his traps. He had
set two rifles Oh deer trails and fasteu-
ed them so that Il body passing on the
trail must touch the string attached TO
the trigger and explode the gun. 1t is
supposed that he encountered one of
the strings in the dim lignt of the early
morning. The rifle was fixed with
deadly precision and tue ball, piercing
his body at the hip and passing right
through. caused hemOrrhage which re-
suited IN his death from loss OF blood.

Owners of Sugar Trust Shares
PrOmulgate the Plan.

NEW YORK, Oct 30.-Judge Pratt in the
Kings county supreme court to-day. heard
arguments of the counsel in the sugar trust
case. The proc edings were opened by Law
yer e. NJ. Shepard. presenting an affidavit
from John e. Searles, secretary of the sugar
trust in which he said that these proceed
ings were onlv O hndrance to the best inter-
ests of the certificute holders. and that a
plan of reorganization was ready. A financial
statement would have been made publ C but
for these proceedings, he said. He was fol-
lowed by Lawyer Elihu Root, who opposed
the appointment OF receiver, saying that if
that was done, the trust would be terminated.
Counselor John q. Gleason. who represented
some of the certificate holders, then made a
strong argument in favor OF the appOintment
of a receiver. The trust had certain prop
erty in its hands which should be turned
over TO a receiver. 1t was not a matter of
discretion with the court. He asked that
this property be taken out of the hands of
the persons who had no title TO it. The argu-
mentin the case ended by Judge Pratt re-
serving his decision, but he modified the in
junction SO as to allow the publication Of the
plan Of reorganization and the financial
statement. The plan provides for the issue
of s. .,00I,0 CT per cent preferred stock,
SO 900 900 in common stock, and So 0,G0J
900 in bonds 10 be secured by q mortgage on
the property. Eacn holder of certificates in

BLOCKED BY THE ALTON.
Plan to Even-Up Rates on Packing
House Products EStopped.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-At the special
meeting Of the Western Freight asso-
citation to-day the question of what
changes should be made in the rates on
hogs and packing house products. to
equaliZe them, III accordance with the
order of the interstate commerce conl-
mission, was the one subject conSld-
cred. After general discussion OF the
situation, and some strong arguments
from the representatives OF various
roads in favor of "evenlng up'' instead
of ''evening down. the rates, resOlu-
ton was offered providing that the rate
on packing house products be advanced
from Is cents TO % cents, per 100 pounds
from the Missouri river to Chicago, this
being the rate on hogs. Every road
voted for the resolution except the Chi
cago IL Alton. which has already fled
notice OF its intention to reduce the
rate OH hogs to the 1S-cent
basis. 1t was thus demonstrated that
all lines except the Alton are IN favor of
an absolute maintenance of the existing
rates on live stock and of meeting the
requirements of the law by all advance
rather than q reduction of the eStab-
lished tariffs. Of course the one mega
tive vote defeated the resolution, but as
the rest were all apparently OF one
mind a committee was appointed to
wait upon General Manager Chappell Of
the Alton and ascertain whether he
could be persuaded to modify his prop
oSition. The meeting thereupon adj
jOurned to await the action Of the COM
mittee. which soon alter obtained coll
ference with Mr.. Chappell in the lat
ter;s Office. 1t was represented to that
gentleman that reduction of seven
cents per 100 pounds on hogs from
the Missouri river would not only
as affecting the revenues Of all lines,
but would result in pulling down Iowa
| rates TO an extent that would be espe-
cially severe on the roads doing busi-
ness in that state. The Alton, how
| ever, is not interested in Iowa traffic.
| and Mr.. Chappell saw no good reason
| why his company should refrain from
| acting upon its best judgment in the
| matter merely to please ROADS that have
| lines in other territory. He contended
| that the proposed reduction from KAN
sas City need not necessarily affect the
| rates from Omaha and Iowa points, and
| he intimated that there were certain
| lines in the Southwest whose contracts
with Kansas City shippers would make
| it impossible for them to maintain 25
| cent rate on packing house products.
even though they might pretend to
| do SO.
| While the Chicago & Alton has not
receded from it's original position, the
| committee gathered from the interview
that a compromise basis of adjustment
might be favorably considered. 1t
| therefore went into secret session and
after long discussion agreed npon a
! proposition to be submitted to the Alton
| people Tomorrow. 1t is understood that
this plan is to bring the two rates to-
| gether on 22-cent basis, making re-
| duction of three cents on hogs and an
advance Of four cents Oh packing house

Novel Feature of Archbishop Fee
hans Jubilee.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3,.-Nearly 5000 children,
representing almost every nationality known
in Chicago, greeted Archbishop Feehan this
morning at the Auditorium to begin the cele-
bra,ion with him of the second day of his
silver jubilee. Upon the front OF the stage.
in a chair of state. sat the archbishop; on his
right was Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia,
and around him were the visiting bishops
and clergy The programme began with the
singing OF jubilee hymns by the assembled
children. number of addresses from the
different schools were presented to the arch
bishop, and Columbia. the next feature,
was sung by everybody to an organ and or.
chcstra accompaniment at the beginning
of the chorus of each tune every little child
in the building stood on tiptoe and waved
tbeifag of which they snng. The effect was
beautiful, with its mingling of the cleaning
national colors with the more subdned col.
ors of the banners ahd costumes of the vari.
GUS societies. The remaining numbers of
the programme were interesting and we'll
rendered. Archbishop Feehan then del:y.
cred the jubilee benediction. In his re.
marks he said that OF all the beautiful exhi-
bitions he had ever seen this, the childrep's
portion of the celebration, was the loyelIest

MANKATO, Oct. 50. - Congressman
Lind challenged Gen. Baker to meet
him in Joint debate in this county,and
good deal of capital was attempted to
be made out of the boast that Gen.
Baker would not dare meet him. AS
soon as the latter heard of the challenge
he authorized his committee to accept
and designate Mapleton as the place OF
meeting this afternoon, which was
done. There is a large public hall at
Mapleton, capable of accommodating
1000 people, and an Alliance meeting
and barbecue was held there this after
noon. Mr.. Lind also had an engage
ment there tomorrow. and by making
one change he could have met Gen.
Baker and had the benefit OF probably
the largest meeting that will be held in
this county during the campaign. Mr.,
Lind's representative, the editor of the
Mankato Free Press, declined the invi-
tation to speak at Mapleton. but offered
TO hold joint debate at st. Cloud, a
small village fourteen miles east
of Mankato, this afternoon. while
only about 200 people eau be accOmma-
dated. and which can only be reached
by team. There was no time to give
notice of a meeting and no accomm0da-
ton for the public if meeting could be
got together. Besides, Gen. Baker had
gone 10 his home, sixteen miles distant
from Mankato, to prepare for the Mapli-
ton debate, which was to open at 2:30
p. M. and he could only he reached by
team. Mr.. Lind has no desire to meet
Gen. Baker, and the challenge was
given out as bluff under the belief
that Baker would not see it in time to
accept. Lind was fviled in this suppos-
sition, and he has shown the white
feather. as he did two years ago in re-
fusing to meet III. S. Wilkinson, his
Democratic opponent. The truth is.
neither he nor any of his hackers dare
face Gen. Baker OF any other we'll
equipped speakers on the tariff issue
before an intelligent audience.

1T DID NOT EXPLODE.
Another Experiment. With the
Justin Dynamite Cartridge.

UTICA, N. Y. Oct. 30.--Another expert
ment with DR.. Justin's dynamite cartridge
was made at Perryville to-day in the pres
ence of number of experts. The shell was
similar to the one used last time, excepting
that It was bored out Of solid steel aud no
blowholes, and was three-fourths instead
of five-eighths inches in thickness.
A twelve-ton Blakely rife was used, similar
to the two that have been burst in previous
experiments. The shell wighed 275 pounds.
and contained nine pounds of sand instead
of dynamite in the inner cartridge. The
charge was thirty pounds of hexagoral pow
der The shell was fired into sand bank
at the distance of thirty wards. and
was recovered almost intact. Their
mometric apparatus in the shell meas
ured the force of the heat eXerted,
and dynometric calculations showed the
force and direction of the explosive power
behind it and the influence on the inner
dynamite cartridge. The shell was opened
and testified to the correctness of DR.. JUS
tins theory OF the late explosion in the gun.
Another test will be made with the same
shell. and on the third test dynamite will be
again used, the inventor being confident that
all difficulties have now been removed in
firing charges of dynamite from any smooth
bore or rifed gun.

Railroads and Lumbermen De-
spoil State Lands in Wisconsin,.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Oct. 30.-The de-
partment of public lands of Wisconsin
gave notice of sale November 10. at
Madison. of swamp and railroad iRdem-
nifty lands lying in this section. This
caused many explorers to go forth and
look Up lands with view to purchasing
only to find that all indemnity lands
have been stripped of timber. 1t is
said the wrong-doers are the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad
company, and many heavy lumbermen,
1t is charged that the company made Sc
lections of indemnity lands which it was
well known would never be approved.
and sold the lands and pine timber to.the
lUmbermen, who promptly stripped il off
and manufactured it into lumber. Now
the company, when the lands are finally
patented to the state, cheerfuily gives
up all pretenSe Of title, but the timber
is gone and lands which were worth
from 81 to SO an acre are not worth pay
ing taxes on. 1t is claimed the value of
timber cut from these lands without
equitable right is about Sl.00O,0 ,009.

WooDsTocK, Ont, Oct. 30-The near
approach of the fated 18th of November
does not seem to have much outward
effect on Brchall. He processes to feel
less concern than many of the senti-
mentalists who are troubling themselves
about his fate. He plays leap frog in
his cell with his guard, and thinks it
royal sport to send the guard sprawliDg
on the floor when the occasion offers.
Pitching cuppers is another tavorite
amusement of his. The arrival OF his
spiritual adviser, however, is always the
signal for his adopting an appearance
of solemnity suitable to the occasion.
People here are shocked al many of the
stories current about Birchall's levity.
The colonel fiction is pretty we'll ex-
ploded. There is little doubt that the
letter was prepared by Blrchall himself,
in the hope that it might create diver
sion in his favor at Ottawa. How he
