peradoes visited the doctors cotton gin
and set it on fire. burning it TO the ground.
They then fired the depot and proceeded
through the streets, firing their Winchest-
ers in the houses as they went along. with
view of keeping the villagers indoors.
The depot was totally destroyed. The

Dynamite Explosion at Dublin Castle

A cable from Dublin says: A decided
sensation was caused in this city by ru-
NOR that the physical force party bad
resumed operations here and that their
first attempt had been made against Dub
lin CASTLE the official residence of the earl
of Zetland, vicerpy of ireland. The rumor
was fosnd to be based on fact 1t tran
spred that number of workmen have
been employed in making alterations lately
in and about the castle. One Of the places
which was being overhauled was the Office
directly under the room in which the
privy council holds its meetings. The
workmen were being hurried in their la
bors so that all tho changes proposed
might be completed in time for the open
ing of the ''castle season." which begins
on February 2, with the holding Of the
first levee. While the workmen were at
their meals a tremendous explosion took
place and severely shook the castle, COM
pletely wreclking the ceilings Of two stories
directly above the place of the explosion.
Very fortunately one was injured. The
affair created CONSERVATION ameng the
people living in and employed about the
castle. All the dynamite outrages that
have been perpetrated in London and
other places in Great Britain are called to
mind, and large number of people have
no other opinion than that the physical
force" party have again put their policy OF
terrorism into effect The crowns best

Shortest Message on Record.

Ohio politics have been an interesting
theme for some time past and now atten-
ton has been drawn TO that states chief
executive who has won the credit for
writing the shortest message on record.
The occasion WAS the opening of tho gen.
eral assembly at Columbus. The message
is as follows: To the SEVENTEEN general
assembly: The constitution commands the
governor to communicate annually his
views To the general assembly. AS this
function will doubtless be we'll and fully
discharged upon one week from today by
the incoming governor, the present in
cumbent confines himself TO renewal OF
the suggestiphs and recommehdations
made by him to the sixty-ninth general
assembly. Especial attention is called TO
the benevolent, penal reformatory and
educational institutions Of the state and TO
the satisfactory exhibit made by the
various public bodies in their recent
annual reports. CAMPBELL, Gov

PLuMR'S SUCCESSOR.
Bishop w. Perkins the New Senator
From Kansas.


The remains of the late Senator Plumb,
OF Kansas, had scarcely been laid away be-
fore wires were being placed by several as
piTants for the vacant seat. Gov. Hun
phrey was very undecided because of the
number Of candidates and the political in
iuence OF each. But the fight is ended
and the palm is given to Bishop w. Per-
kins. one OF the best known politicians of
the state.
The contest for the honor was an unique
one, even in Kansas the state of political
eccentricites. The day after the funeral
of the dead senator the political hosts
which had been in attendance upon the
solemn occasion assembled in Topeka. The
various candidates went to work with a
system. They established headq uarters at
the various hotels, chose their lieutenants
and marshaled their forces as if there was
a whole legislature TO work upon instead of
one governor. The governor decided to give
each candidate and his friends an open
hearing for the presentation OF their claims,
and as each candidate was announced he
was given number according TO the sue
ces7ion of the announcement Two candi-
dates were heard each day until the List
was exhausted.
Bishop w. Perkins was born in 1882 at
Rochester, O. He served in the war for
four years and rose from a sergeant to the
staff of Gen. Steadman. Admitted TO the
bar in Illinois in 1867 and located in Os-
wego, KS, two years later where he
served US county attorney and probate
Judge. Served seven years as Judge of the
eleventh district and in 'S2 was elected to
congress; delegate to Chicago convention
in 80 and reelected to congress- for three
terms. He is a stauuch republican.
