D. assumes the pastoral care of the church and will preach for the first time Sunday. Two new instructors begin work-E. L.. Morris '9l in the biological department and W. L. Rankin in physics.

 than thirty years, said: "Mr. Ames had not been well for several years, though his condition was not such as to excite alarm He had been troublsd with the gout and this interfered with his general health. Apople Ky has been very fatal disease in the Ames family. His grandfather, his
 mother and his sister died of the same dis ease, cerebral apoplexy. Several weeks ago, for period of two or three days, he was severely troubled with insomnia, but
 he recovered and was improving in general health.'
 Mir. Ames may become completely pros-
 trated by the shock. She Is in such con-
 dition that only the immediate members of
 the family are permitted in the house.
 Expressions of sorrow and condolences
 have been received by the family from all
 parts of the country and the death of Mir.

COUGHLIN MAY ESCAPE.

The Chicago Detective's New Trial
 For COmpiicity iR the CrOnin Mur-
 der.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Dan Coughlin, the ex detective, convicted of complicity in the Cronin murder of 1889 and recently grant ed a new trial by the supreme court, may escape with no more than a sham legal bat tie for the sake of legal technicality. Many of the most important witnesses are dead or impossible to locate. The evidence against the other defendants cannot be used against Coughlin. Some of this in- direct testimony had much to do with weaving the web which finally landed Coughlin in jail, and it's absence may assist him in escaping the legal penalty for his alleged wrongdoing.
 State Attorney Kern, Inspector Schack and Captain Chuettler were in conference the greater portion of yesterday going over the records of the case. The outlook was not encouraging, to say the least, and the three officers were by no means confident of winning in the fight to come. The case will be called for trial In another week or ten days.

 The great race of the day-the mile inter national record-was won by H. o. Tyler after the most exciting bicycle contest ever seen on the track. Windle made pretty racs for place with the leaders and pushed Sanger closely to the home stretch, where the race seemed to be betwe=n the latter and Zimmerman. The two came down the stretch almost side by side with Sanger 8 few feet ahead until about rod from the tape, when Tyler made magnificent spurt and finished first
 The half mile open was a loaf for the first quarter and sprint in 27 4 5 St cond for the last quarter. It was between Win de, Zimmerman and Banker, who rounded the last turn together, Zimmermsn oross- ing the tape ahead of Windle by wheel.

The Campaign in That State Has
 Opened With a Speech by Law
 renee T. Neal, the Candidate For
 Governor.
 NEWARK, o, Sept. 14-Ths demo- cratic campaign in Ohio opened here to- day with large attendance. A beauti- fully decorated platform was erected fiji front of the court house for the speakers. s. M. Hunter, late candidate for supreme judge, Hon. William Vesch, aged eighty, an honored veteran of democracy, was president of the meeting. When the parade had finished there was an immense throng facing the speaker on the grand stand. Lawrence T. Neal, candidate for governor; Colonel W. A. Taylor, csndi- date for lieutenant governor, and other candidates for state offices, with state and local managers, were grouped on the plat form. The main speech of the day wss made by MT. Neal, after short con- gratulatory and introductory speech by Chairman Veach.
 MT. Neal strongly favored the repeal of the purc hasing clause of the Sherman sil- yer law, lnd gave the declaration of prin- ciples adopted by the democratic state con- vention at Cincinnati his personal endorse | ment. Continuing, he said:
 "The greatest foe to the prosperity of the people is McKinleyism. So long ss the federal system of protective taxation is continued we can have no general and per manent prosperity ia this country. To re- | tain sueh prosperity We must apply the axe | to the root of the evil with earnestness and | vigor, and forever destroy the McKi nley method of taxation.
 | "The whole burden of taxation under that system rests upon the consumption of the people. The property and wealth of the country pay no part of these taxes This destroys the principle of equality
 which is an essential requirement. of just

 tributions of taxes under such system
 The taxes paid by them are not in propor

WILL THE WILSON BILL PASS,

Interviews With romfnent Senators Who Have Var. ing Opinions. WAsHIEGToS, Sept. IA. - There ars many prominent m members of the senate who think the Wilson bill will never become law on account of the determined resistance of the filibusters. Senator Frye Of Maine is one of the most pronounced in his opinion.
 ''I do not think the bill will ever pass the senate in Its present shape" said he. "The democrats taught the country two years ago how 8 minority can have its way in the senate, and the minority at that time claims to have been sustained by the country. The minority at the present time take the same ground, and don't zee but what they have just ss good reason for their action ss the minority had two years ago."
 Senator Msnderson-I am inclined to think vote will be reached after time, but just when is not easy to guess. There is more or less talk In the air about com promise, but 1t seems to be merely talk.
 Senator Mitchell of Oregon-I do not be- lieve vote will be reached unless some compromise is made, and doubt If the president will accept any of those that have been suggested.
 clined to think that after a time, perhaps by October, 8 vote will be reached
 Senator Sherman said that he still re- tained the opinion which he had always held-that whenever a majority in the sen. ate want to bring question to @ vote they will find way to do it. He thought that the bill would pass
