OUT OF THE FRYING PAN

Into the Fire, Is About the Situation in
the Iowa Middle.
Dies MONIES, Jan. 90 The deadlock in the
house on the question Of permanent organic
alton took the place of the old one yesterday
and it is a question which is the more burg
lar-proof The fight has started out on the
same lines that the one did two weeks ago.
The Democrats claim the speakership, and so
do the Republicans, and there the issue is
joined.
Went with the Democrats.
The caucuses of the two parties were held
yesterday morning. For the first time since
the legislature met all of the five independ-
ents went into the Democratic conference.
The caucus, after some balloting, selected
Hamilton of Lynn county, and made nc
other nomination, intending to make their
fight for this one Office and concede every.
thing else If they can get this one position.
Republican Nominations.
The Republicans put up full ticket Viii
son, of Cass county, was named as the can
didate for speaker without opposition. The
other nominees of the Republican party
were as follows: Clerk, Ben Van Steinberg;
first assistant, j. A. Shelton; second assist
ant, A. w. Renshaw; enrolling clerk, Miss
Anna Davis; engrossing clerk, Miss Olive
Congor; bill clerk, Miss Kitty Jordan; SER
geantat-arms, J.'F. Senior; doorkeeper, j. w.
Sheldon; postmistress, Miss Grace S. Martin.
The Action in the House.
After these preliminaries had been con-
cluded the house got together i'm regular ses-
sion and Representative Richman, of Musca-
tine, speaking for the Democratic caucus,
put Hamilton in nomination, and Luke, of
franklin, got in a good word for the Repub-
lican nominee. A roll-call followed the
speechmaking, and the first ballot demon
strated that the deadlock was again on.
Wilson got Democratic vote, it is true, but
1t was that of Hamilton, and as the Repub-
1ican candidate returned the favor in kind,
the result was: Hamilton, Al; Wilson, Al.
So it went on for five fruitless ballots, when
the house adjourned for the day.
Trying to Kill the Trusts.
The senate met only to adjourn, except
that Kelly, Democrat, offered resolution,
that went over, calling upon Iowa congress
men to secure the passage of law If posi-

A. WRIT OF MANDAMus GRANTED,

With n Decision That the Republican
Legislative Certificates Are Good
Democrats Not Giving Up the Fight
The Supreme Court Ruling-Iowa So
Ions Resume the Struggle with Re-
newed Energy ON Permanent Organiza-
tion.
HELENA, Mont, Jan. 29-The supreme
court handed down its decision yesterday in
the case of Thompson VS.. Auditor Kenney,
involving the question of the validity Of the
state canvassing board certificates Thomp-
son is one of the Republican members from
Silver Bow county, who claimed his seat by
the throwing out of the tunnel precinct. He
applied to the court for writ of mandamus
to compel the auditor to issue him war
rant for salary and mileage as member Of
the legislature. The auditor refused Thomp-
sons application for pay on the ground,
first, that there was no appropriation out OF
which to pay him; and second, that his seat
was contested as well as the legality Of the
body of which he was member.
The Question of Certificates.
Referring to the claim that it was the duty
of county clerks to issue certificates to mem
bers, and that they are the only legal evil
dences of election, the court says that the
claim is untenable, ordinance Of the state
constitution requiring that the returns OF
election for the adoption or rejection OF the
constitution shall be made to the secretary
of the territory, who, with the governor and
the chief justice of the territory, or any two
of them, shall constitute board of canvass
ers with power to meet, canvass the returns,
and declare the result The same ordinance
provides that "the votes for all the state Of
ficers, members of the legislative assembly
and district judges shall be returned and
canvassed i'm the same manner and by the
same board as is the vote upon the constitu-
ton"
The Old Law Void.
The court holds that the old law, which re-
Quired county clerks to issue certificates, was
rendered void by the sections of the ordi-
nance quoted above. 1t had been contended
by the auditors counsel that the ordinances
framed by the constitutional convention
were not part of that instrument, and did
not have the force and effect of constitution
al provisions. The writ was granted.
Effect of the Decision.
AS tho status of members of the legislature
depends on the legality of the certificates of
election the Republicans claim that this de-
cision makes the Republican body the legal
legislature The concensus of opinion among
Democratic members of the legislature is
that the only result of the decision will be
to give Thompson and the other Republican
contestants their salary and mileage, and
that n will also be of use to Sanders and
Powers in their contest before the United
States senate. They say they will pay no at
tention to the decision, but will keep up the
organization of the house.

PEORIA, Ill, Nov. 3.-The business
portion of the town of Chillicothe was al
most entirely jes troYcd by fire last night.
The FIRE originated in Hancock's livery
stable and spread rapidly in all directions.
The mayor of Peoria in response to a call
for aid sent a special tram with fire en-
gines but they could not be unloaded ow-
ing to the light facilities. The telegraph
and telephone offices burned and all COM
munication was cut off. The loss is about
500, 900, only partially insured. The
buildings burned are mostly small stores,
saloons and shops. Among the promi-
nent buildings burned are the Chilicothe
Bulletin office, the Cottage hotel, tele-
graph and telephone Offices and the post
office. Matthews dry goods store was
Quilted. Between thirty and forty build
ings in all were totally destroyed.

shot and killed his two brothers-in-law,
Charles and Matthew Vaun, while they
we're asleep in Mason's house. After
committing the deed Mason fed into the
woods, armed with his rife. More shots
we're heard in the woods, aud, as Mason
had made threats against others in the
neIghborhood. it is feared he has killed
them, or may have killed himself. No
cause can be assigned for the %murderous
deed, except insanity. as Mason and the
Vann brothers were apparently on good
terms. Mrs. Mason is living unconscious

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 3.-The voters
will be called on to elect a secretary of
state, judge OF the supreme court, mem
bers of the board of public works, besides
congressman. The election OF members
of congress is the first under the reappOr-
tionment by the last legislature. By the
vote eff two years ago. six of these would
elect Republicans, viz: The Second,
Tenth, Twelfth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth
and T~wenty-frst. The Others should
elect Democrats. The campaign has had
very little of state issue in 1t. The cleo
ton OF congressman has made national
issues important factors in all the speeches.
Perhaps the most interesting feature OF
the campaign in Ohio is the candidacy of
William Mckinley in the Sixteenth dis
tnct. Last year the counties in his dis
Ilct gave a Democratic majority, yet there
mas been a most earnest effort by the
Republicans to elect Mckinley; partly on
account of his value to the party In con
gress and partly as a vindicatlon OF his
policy on the tariff law. Equally earnest
Efforts have been made to elect his oppo-
nent, Judge Warwick. to show that the

SAN Francisco, Nov. Fire was
discovered this morning under the Bur
lington house adjoining the Grand hotel.
The flames spread rapidly to the block
bounded by Market. New, Montgomery,
Stevenson and Second streets her to the
first floor on which we're offices, stores and
board OF trade rooms. The smoke mean
time aroused the inmates of the Grand
and Burlington. The frightened guests
rushed to the sidewalk with what valu-
ables they could carry. The FIRE soon
shot up through the freight elevator in
rear of the Grand. At e o'clock the roof
OF the Burlington fell in carrying with it
part OF that OF the Grand. In a short
time the interior of the Burlington was a
complete wreck and the front of the
Grand on Market and the eastern end
was also in ruins. The western end was
saved.
The Grand wasopened in 1870 and at
the time was considered one OF the best in
the world. The total loss including the
buildings, stores, furniture and stocks is
estimated at 81, 500, 900. IL IS believed
the fire Is due to spontaneous combustion.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 3.-Minnesota Is one
of the interesting political states of the
northwest this fall. The phenomenal
growth of the Farmers Alliance within
the last six months makes it likely that
this new party will tomorrow cast over %
per cent of the total vote Of tie state. AS
Minnesota, heretofore. has been strongly
Republican, the growth OF the new party
naturally has been greatly at the expense
of the dominant party, but with four full
state tickets in the field, the Democrats
and Farmers Alliance having failed to
combine, the chances are slightly in favor
of the Republican ticket. The most san
guine party in the state is without doubt
the Farmers Alliance and they claim the
state by $1,000 to 10000 plurality, Of
course the older parties contest this, but
it Is frequently conceded that any Of the
three parties is almost equally liable to
win. The Republicans claim the entire
i've congressional districts OF the state but
in several of the districts their claims are
stubbornly contested by the Democrats
and Farmers Alliance.

wagons, and employs negro boys to drive
them. This morning about 1880 o'clock
Watts was in his room. Sam Hayes en-
tered. and a dispute over a box OF shoe
polish ensued. Hayes accused Watts
OF using it. and told him he would not al
low him to do so any more. A heated
quarrel followed. and a few seconds later
a loud report OF a gun was heard in the
room. Watts was found in the middle of
the floor, resting In a pool of blood. The
weapon, a single barreled breech-loading
shotgun, was found lying by the side of
the dead man. Jim Hayes, a brother Of
Sam, heard that Watts had been shot,
and at once notified DR.. Williford, telling
the physician that Sam had shot him ac-
cidentally. Hayes was arrested.

The Judgment of Sl5, 3s4.5O recently

Pomeroy made his celebrated unsuccess-
full attempt to be reelected United
States senator. Pomeroy quartered his
political friends at the "Tefft house"
during the campaign, creating a bill Of
S19,32l.50. After his defeat Pomeroy
paid Smith $4,000, claiming that was
enough. Smith t]hereupon instituted
proceedings in the district court of At

including interest and costs, amounts to
