amount Of the ordinary stock in part pay-

tho preference stock is preferential as to

result is the providing Of security in the

The fully paid ordinary stock of such

they are in demand, and who in this

Futile Attempts to Save Woman and
Five Children from "a Burning Build

BERLIN, April "A dwelling house in
Poser, caught fire during the night just
passed. and before all the occupants could
get out the stairs were burned away. On
the fourth story Of the building were a
woman and five children. The crowd in
the street procured blanket, which was
spread open and held in position by a
number of men. The woman and chill
dren were then told to jump.
The woman jumped first. She struck
the blanket with such force that it was
torn from the grasp of the men and she
was dashed to the stone pavement and in
stantly killed. One of the children jumped
and met the same fate, it seeming to be
impossible for the men to hold the blanket
firmly enough to break the fall. The other
three children also jumped, but each of
them received injuries that will probably
prove fatal.

REPUBLICAN REVOLT IN MINNESOTA.
MINHEAroLIs, MINI. April There is
a big split i'll the Republican party in this
state. growing out of the opposition to
Governor Merriam and his followers. He
was elected governor this year by very
questionable tactics, and is anxious to sue
coed z. *. Davis to the United States
Senate next year, and have Knute Nelson
elected governor.
Merriam is very Objectionable to the
farm and labor classes of the state and the
Republican leaders know it, and, accord
ingly q delegation of prominent Repub-
llclns from all over the state, really
anxious Tor the success of the purity next
November, called on Merriam and told
him politely that the welfare of the party
demanded his withdrawal from politics.
Merriam couldn't see it in that light and
told the delegation that he would get to the
United States Senate anyhow. There was
a red hot time and words were not minced.
The governor left the next day for an
eastern trip.
The Republican League Clubs have
taken Up the matter, and il they cannot
have Mcrriani's man Nelson, for the
gubernatorial nomination they will bolt.
The feeling against Merriam and his
methods is very bitter, and as the governor
Will not withdraw there is no hope for q
Republican victory in the fall, especially
as the Alliance vote is very heavy and the
Democrats have about made up their
minds to select S. w. Owen, a leading
Alliance man for governor. Senator Davis
has an immense personal following
