company for an office and this would

the ferry house were found over 200
people who had lost their homes and
everything they possessed except the
clothing which they wore. When the
st. Paul and Duluth relief train. which
left Duluth at o'clock, arrived at Mil
ler's Junction word was received that
the town OF Sandstone was entirely
burned and the people there were, In
need Of immediate attention. A party
Of the relief committee aboard the train
started with provisions TO look after the
destitute. After passing the Eastern
Minnesota tracks and Just before COM

when they will be cared for by another

Austin. Tex, Sept. S.-There is some
speculation as to whether State sena-

sign as senators in order that an
election can take place at the general
election to I'LL the vacancies that will
occur when they are elected to con-

III congress meets in March, but this
would be II bad time to hold an cleo
lion. 1t Is therefore expected that
Jhese gentlemen will resign either very
soon or as soon as elected. In that
event their successors can begin their
duties at the first Of the session and
can therefore be more useful to their
constituents than II elected at or near
the close OF the session. 1t Is strangely
probable that the next session of the
legislature will be of 30 days duration.

A curious theory regarding the
origin of coal has just been an
nounccd Rock oil or petroleum Is
genorally supposed to have resulted
from the exposure OF coal to tho iu-
tornal heat OF tho globo; In iuct, to
have been produced by natures pro-
oess OF dlstillatlon. The hypothesis
lust started involves converse prop
osition--yl1., that coal itself arises
from tho condensation OF petro-
loum which first comes from
the action OF heat on plants. The
pitch lake OF Trinidad Is referred
to In support OF this idea Trees
grow on the hardened pitch OF this
lake within u short distance OF Other
pitch In q state OF obullition, and
one can readily conceive OF tho hard
encd pitch In some cases bolng soit-
oned by an eruption OF the boiling
pitch, and OF trees growing on il
being thus enguliod The theory is
Ingenious, but II docs not explain all
the facts. and Is entirely irreconcll-
able with some OF them. For OK
ample, 1t could not possibly explain
tho origin OF coal-be containing all
the constituents Of petroleum. and IL
would not account for tho presence
