ApLEA eoR NEWSPAPER ASSISTANCE

The friends of GOV Hogg in some
quarters are becoming alarmed at the
want of enthusiasm at his appoint
ments and have taken the cue of their
candidate and are accusing the news
papers Of Misrepresentation. In view
of the fact that Gov. Hogg has
in every speech endeavorcd
to dscredit the newspaper
reports it is little singular
that his friends should enter plea
for moro Aattering accounts of his re-
ceptions, but friend at Seguin has
entered a plea for the patronage of
the press, Notwithstanding the gov
errors reiterated assertion that the
daily papers are not to be relied on,
The San Antonio Express, though at.
tackled in its own bailiwlok by the
governor as utterly unreliable aud
unworthy of belief, the enmity
of which was as Acceptable as its good
will has been appealed to for more
favorable reports Of Gov. Hogg's
speeches In response the Express
says editorially: can Express com
municant at Seguin writes lengthy
protest against the report of Governor
Hogg's speech at that place. In.
stead of being met with wild and in
frequent applause, he says, the ap-
proval of the governors utterances at
times rose TO the dignity of enthusi-
asm. So much the worse for Seguin.
If since the inception of the campaign
his excellency has said or done any
thing that ought to arouse enthusiasm
in a man who has the well being of
his state at heart The Express has
not heard of it. He has attempted to
defend an administration that has
been prolific of harm to the common
wealth of his birth: he has stood as
the chief exponent of policies that
have been ruinous in their Tenderness;
he has done more than any man with
in the state lines to drive out such
foreign capital as we hsd and to repel
such capital as contemplated com
ing to US; he has come to
be regarded by all liberal men
as the portly incarnation of the spirit
of narrowness and intolerance; his
sombrero, Ike the white plume of Ma.
ware, has been the guiding star Of the
frenzied hosts which have rushed to
the butchery of corporations. In
attempting the defense of the con-
duct Of a government that has cost
Texas millions upon millions Of
dollars, Mr.. Hogg has undertaken a
hopeless task What is there in it to
arouse enthusiasm. Land titles
clouded, homes impoverished, honest
industrious citizens made mis-
cradle, reputable men of business
bankrupted, banks devoided Of cash,
vast and beneficial enterprises stran.
gled in their birth, an enormously high
rate of interest, the checking of all
railway building, a weakening of the
confidence of the world in the stability
of the prosperity of the state, are a
few of the fotsam Of destruction that
Governor Hogg has left in his wake.
Enthusiasm in the front of such a
speaker and in the face of such facts
would be excusable if it were the en-
thusiasm Of condemnation. "

LAKE MARINE HORROR.
THiRTY-ONE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR

ny the Foundering OF the steamer Gil

South Manltqp Island: {

The huge steel steamer, w. III. Gill
cher, foundered in the recept big, gale,
OFF South Mahitoa Island, or near the
Foxes. The Gilcber was sighted by
the Westover near Mackinac and
seemed TO be laboring hard with wind
and wave and this was the last seen of
her. After the storm wreckage began
coming ashore on the islands and main
land. Capt Corbett, of the schooner
Wa1Ilkesha, reports that he saw a
steamers lights for sometime and they
suddenly disappeared. There can be
no doubt that the Gilcher went down
rs some of her wreckage has been
identified.
The Glicher was owned in Cleveland
and was duplicate of the steamer
Western Reserve, which went down in
Like Superior some months ago. The
Gilcher was, excepting the Pope, the
largest carrier on the lakes She was
valued at $500, 900, insured for $3.50, 900.
She was commanded by Capt. l.. Ii.
Weeks, man of the highest standing
in marine circles, reputed for fearless
ness, skill and good Judgment. Capt.
Weeks lived at Vermillion, Ohio, and
IoavCs family. The first mate was
Cast. Ed Porter, of Lorain, Ohio, who
fonesly sailed the schooner, Three
Drethsrs, and later the Thomas p.

bound for Milwaukee. She passed the
straits, was sighted by the Westover
and was never seen again.
Weckage from the schooner Ostrich
is also coming ashore at the Manitous.
The crew of six men and woman have

Artificial Rain Experiment at washington

For nearly week rain-malxing ex-
periments were conducted by the agri-
cultural department at Fort Meyer,
across the river from Washington.
Two of the new explosives that were
being tested promise well. One is
rosellite, a powder resembling in APP
pearance moist brown sugar and smell
ing like fresh concrete. II is the in
vention of DIR. Roselle and is made by
mixing one part to seven of chlorate of
potash and asphaltum oil. 1t is one of
the safest known high explosives to
handle and can be exploded only by
means of a decorating fuse. 1t ranks
above dynamite and is cheap. The
other explosive is intended to take the
place of the rather expensive oxygen
hydrogen balloon. 1t is vast paper
bag 80 feet long and five feet in diam
eter, filed with carbuTetted vapor,
which eXplodes with enormous energy
and is likewise cheap of preparation.
The experiments were successful. The
party across the river practically salts
fed itself of the value of the new com
pounds and "broke up camp and left
for San Antonio, Tex, where attempts
on gigantic scale will be made to
shake rain out of the clonds on the dry
Texas prairies-

bond being fixed at S10,O 900 by the city

for S12, 500. Soon after the council dis
covered that the bond was too low and
the commissions allowed too high. On
the strength of such belief a $4,000
bond was asked of Mr.. Melsheimer.
Upon his refusal TO furnish so high a

lie Hangs Himself on the Highest Beam In
the Church Belfry.

For the first time in the history of
Trinity Catholic church, of Milwaukee,
there was no second service last Sun
day. The break was caused by the
discovery of the body of George Janke,
the sacristan, hanging high up in the
church spire after the congregation
had filed the church.
The greatest excitement prevailed
for time after Father Conrad dis
missed the congregation with the ex-
PLANTATION that something terrible had
happened. JanlSe had been sacristan
of the church for i've years. He rang
the bell for service the night before at
vespers and that was the last seen of
him.
When FIR. Conrad found that his
robes had not been laid out for service
as usual he inquired for Janlle and not
finding him search was Immediately
inaugurated. The searchers finally
climbed to the helfry where they found
Janke's dead body hanging on the
highest beam. FIR. Conrad was notified
and Immediately dismissed the con-
gregation.

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING.
A jackson Man Shot Through the Head
His Vito Attempt, Suicide.

Ills WHO
Bert Tingley, aged about 80, was
fatally shot at jackson, though
whether it was case of murder or
suicide, is not yet known. The police
are working on the case on the sup
position that it may be murder. He
was shot through the head. He is now
unconscious and can live but short
time.
Tingley lived with two women, one
his wife, the other is paramount. They
are two hardened females, who appear
to care little for the fate of the
wounded man. There is suspicion
that one of them did the shooting.
Tingley's wife took two spoonfuls of
aconite with suicidal intent, but her
stomach was pumped out and she will
recover.
The women declare Tingley did the
shooting. There has been consider
able friction between these women.
One shared Tingley' apartments while
the dead mans other flame slept on the
floor above. Tie La Monte woman,
who is supposed TO be his wife,
says Tingley has been i'll for a long
time. She was awakened, she says, by
the report of the pistol. She says she
retired about midnight and was
aroused when the shot was fired.
Tingley, she declares, had threatened
to take his life.

which resulted in finding his body
lying across his bed, evidently dead
several hours. No reason has SO far

went to that city from Pontiac about
four months ago and his parents reside
there. He was keeping company with

FATAL RAILWAY WRECK.
Thirteen Persons Killed and Many Seri-

ousiy ihJureu by COLLISION.
railway accident occurred near
Thirsk, in Yorkshire, England, in
which 13 persons were killed and a
large number injured. The express
train which leaves Edinburgh every
evening for London was running at full
speed as it approached Thirsk when
ahead of it appeared heavily laden
goods train. The engineer of the ex-
press ira in reversed his engine and put
on the brakes, but the momentum of
the heavy express was too great and it
dashed into the goods train, making a
most terrible wreck. The carriages
caught fire and were destroyed. The
scene at the wreck was pitable. Some
of the bodies taken out of the debris
had been burned beyond all semblance
to humanity. The clothing had been
destroyed aud in some cases the jewelry
worn had been melted by the intense
heat. This will render the identified
ton of the dead in some cases ex-
tremely difficult, if not altogether inn
possible.
