Simpson is pronounced unbeliever, and
during his campaign for congress in the
seventh district the whole force of the
church was arrayed against him. Mrs.
Lose is an infidel, and Mrs. Diggs, who
next to Mrs. Lose was the most powerful
campaigner in the Peoples movement, is a
very liberal Unitarian.
A ballot-reform measure has been intro
duced in the senate of the Maine legisla-
ture, and the general expectation is that it
will become a law without much opposi-
ton. 1t provides for a blanket ballot,
with the names of the candidates arranged
under each Office in alphabetical order,
each name to be followed by the residence,
street number when there is any, and pol
tics of the candidate. This is the most
thoroughgoing form of the Australian bal
lot which has been adopted in this coun-
try, but it has been found to work well in
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and other
States in which there are large cities with
many ignorant voters.

JOHN MINERS PLAN

JOHN MINERS PLAN.
John Miner, a member of the Michigan
legislature from Detroit, has been think
ing out a way to avoid some of the objec-
tions to the present method of choosing
presidential electors. His idea is to pro-
vide by law that each congressional dis
trict shall choose an elector for itself and
that two shall be elected at large on a
State ticket. Under this method the
electoral votes of the State would not all
be cast for the same candidates for presi-
dent and vice-president, as at present, un-
less one party was strong enough to carry
every congressional district. The votes of
the two electors chosen at large would in
all probability be cast for the same candi-
dates, but majority of the votes of the
other electors might be given to the oppos-
ing candidates.
1t is argued in behalf of this plan that it
seems to be more in harmony with the one
which has been universally adopted with
the provision of the national constitution
that each State shall be entitled to as many
presidential electors as it has representa-
tives and senators in congress. Although
there is another provision that each State
shall appoint its electors in such manner
as the legislature thereof may prescribe,
and therefore the legislature of State
may prescribe any manner it pleases, yet
it would obviously be in accordance with
the spirit of the constitution to prescribe
that the electors should be appointed much
as representatives and senators are chosen
1t is not probable that Mr.. Miners sug
gestion will find much food. The present
method has its defects, but it perhaps
works, on the whole, as well as any would

A Dinner Lost and Won.

An enormously large hawk poised in
midair few days ago over Jacob Heather's
fine flock of Shanghai chickens at Durham,
Bucks County. Selecting one of the finest,
a seven pound rooster, the hawk fell upon
it, and majestically bore it skyward- The
contemplated meal was never to be eaten,
however for Walter Hammortin happened
to be cunning under the path of the hawks
fight, and succeeded in bringing the latter
to earth. The rooster was uninjured while
the pirate had his head blown off.

Ohio's New Senator.


Senator-elect Brice is of medium heigth,
and slight in figure. He is inclined to be
round -shouldered. He has neither the dress
nor the appearance of the typical statesman.
His dark green checked business suit is not
the usual senatorial costume. His black
derby hat will doubtless be replaced by a
high silk when he is sworn into Office.
The coming senator has a peculiar free.
His complexion is dark and keyed to the
general pitch of brown seen in the wavy
lines of his half-curling and not closely
cropped hair, in the deep shade of his
eyes, and again in the lighter shade of a
long mustache and medium-sized beard
His nose is dropping Roman, much re-
sembling the Semitic nose of the Fast.
There is not gray hair in his head He
has the reputation of great financial sue
cess, which makes him the center of eager

DRUG STORE BURNED.
Building and Contents, Worth
$1,000, Go Up in Smoke.
STARTED BY AN EXPLOSION.
Couison & Co.'s Place OF Business
Burned DIR. Farwelps Severe
Loss and Narrow Escape.

Last evening the drug store of J. w.
Coulson & Co., on the corner of Ninth and
Stewart streets, was burned.
The store had been closed but a little
while, and both of the proprietors, William
Couison and Henry Yandell, had gone
home. No one was in the building except
DR.. and Mrs. A. A. Farwell, who live in
the apartments above.
They were just going to bed when loud
explosion, heard for many blocks around,
occurred in the store and blew out all the
big windows in front. At the same time
the inside of the building down stairs
burst out in flames.
DIR. j. ID. Faulkner, who lived across the
way, ran out and helped DIR. and Mrs. Far
well out Of the burning house. DR.. Far
well tried to save trunk of valuables and
succeeded, although in so doing he nearly
lost his life.
The flames spread so quickly that moth
ing else was saved-not even the clothing
of the occupants.
The fire department responded quickly
to the alarm, but it was necessary to bring
the water from the hydrants on the cor
ner of Eighth and Pine streets, at least
1,600 feet away. In consequence two or
three lreels of hose had to be
used, and so the fire had gained
great Roadway before the first water
was thrown by engines 2 and 4. The chem
icals meanwhile poured small streams,
which were Ineffective, as the fire had got
ten over too large part of the structure.
The building, owned by n G. Clark, was
completely Quilted before the fremen fin
ally got control, and it was nearly total
loss
The value of the building was $1,000,
covered by partial insurance in Gazzam's
agency. The drug stock was worth over
$1,000, and was insured with the
same agency for $500. Dr. FarwelPs
furniture and fixtures were valued at over
$1,000, making total loss of something
over 81 900. 1t could not be ascertained
whether the doctor had an insurance
The till in the drug store contained about
$125 in paper money that was lost.
No satisfactory reason for the origin of
the fire could be given last night, as neither
Mr.. Coulson or Mr.. Yandell could be
fOund

rpAHo's Latest SENATOR ELECT.
Clageft. at the Jubi1ation Meeting,
Thanks Democrats who Elected Him.


BoIsE CITY, Feb. 12.--TSpeciai. THE
senatorial farce in the legislature culmin-
ated yesterday by Clagett receiving
twenty-eight votes, all the Democrats in
the body except two voting for him. The
scheme, SO far as the Democrats are con-
cerned. is to disrupt the Republican party,
but it will have the effect politically 70
bury those in both parties who originated
and carried it out. 1t is estimated that
this farce has cost the people of idaho not
less than $50, 600, besides delaying legisla-
ton on imperative matters.

lican party to keep its pledges.

GOULD WANTS THE MAPLE LEAF.
Rumorcd Transfer to U. P.-Jim Hill
Can Buy the Road for 500, 900 900.

Can Buy the Road for $1,000, 900.
CHICAGO, Feb. Especial. "A new
rumor has been started in railroad circles
here that Gould has an eye on the Chicago,
st. Paul & Kansas City road, and would
be very glad to extend his Union Pacific
system to Chicago by securing that prop
erty. President Stickney favors the prin-
ciple of consolidation. He has been heard
70 say that the time is not far distant
when all the railroads of this country will
be combined into about three systems.
The fact that President Egan has Wis
tied Omaha number of times recently
and has been in close consultation there
with the Union Pacific officials. doubtless
contributes to the belief that Gould would
be pleased to gather the Maple Leaf into
his fold. 1t would give him direct Chi
cago connection both for the main line
from Omaha, and the Kansas Pacific from
Kansas City. This is in view of the al
most settled determination of the Maple
Leaf people to construct that long contem-
plated extension from Des Moines or near
there to Omaha
Regardless of any rumor of possible
transfer of its membership, there is no
longer any doubt that the Chicago, st.
Paul d Kansas City is rapidly gaining
prominence as one Of the most desirable
systems between Chicago and the Missouri
river. Its owners realize that they have
good thing, and do not propose to let go of
it without getting their price in round
figures. Their price is 800, 100000.
There are 900 miles of the road, and the
value placed on it is 100000 a mile. Jim
Hill can get it by buying the property
outright. The Union Pacific might come
into control through consolidation on a
longtime lease.
