recognized fact that Berkeley has long
lead in building up her track athletics,
and while Stanford has shown constant
improvement each year, she can hardly
expect to defeat Berkeley on the track in
the fourth intercollegiate meet.
The intercollegiate debaters are making
final preparations for the contest Saturday
evening in Metropolitan Hail. San Fran
cisco. Ever since A. M. Cathcart, III. d.
Sheldon and ]. M. Ross were selected as
Stanford's representatives for this event
they have been diligently working up
their arguments. The contest should be
highly interesting this year inasmuch as
it will be the fourth debate, of which
Stanford won the first two and Berkeley
the third.
Politics are boiling here at present. All
nominations for student body offices were
made yesterday and candidates are more
numerous than ever. There are so many
men up for each position, and new ones
coming IN every day, that it is impossible
to know what the outcome will be. Still
1T is exciting enough to keep students busy
visiting or lodging the candidates and
their friends. The greatest efforts are
being made for the presidency of the
student body and for the treasurership.
For the first Chris Henne '97 O'Neil '97,
and Pomeroy '97, are all canvassing. For
the treasurership, which is $3.50 position.
there is also contest, Morrison '96,
Brown '96, and Story '96, being up. At
present the chances appear brightest for
the hrst mentioned of these men.

SEATTLE, WASH, April 23.-James E.
Allsop, arrested in this city Thursday aft.
ernoon, April 16, by Detective John Court
ney of the Minneapolis Police Department
for the murder in August, 1894. of Miss
Lena Olson, and who committed suicide
by hanging while IN the city Jail, was not
only murderer and possibly multi-mur-
derer, as now seems certain, but he was a
bigamist as well.
There are rather than one two widows.
for En- ma Allsop of Salt Lake City, Utah,
claims to have been the arch-criminal's 8
wife. Unlike the Tacoma widow she was
not disposed to desert her erring husband
when in trouble, for Emma o. Allsop of
Salt Lake sent him money and messages
of love while in Jail in this city. They
were not, however, delivered, for the Salt
Lake Mrs. Allsop, upon learning from
newspaper dispatches on the morning of
the 18th of her husbands suicide, wired
the Postoffice authorities to return her let
ters, and the request was complied with.
She wrote A1lsop. extending assistance,
upon learning of his arrest-at least, after
having by wire been informed that the
party in custody was the person who
stopped at a certain lodging house in this
city-a fact which discloses that Allsop
was keeping his Salt Lake wife pretty well
informed as to his movements, notwith-
standing his attention to the Tacoma
wife.
Courtney left this city, and the police
are said to be of the same opinion, firmly
believing that Allsop had to do with the
murder in Seattle of Mrs. Charlotte Fet-
ting, on the night of September 4, 1893,
and also the murder in Tacoma of her SON.
in-law, James King, who was shot and his
body thrown into the bay on the evening
of November II, 1898.
After gagging her, the murderer or muir
derers crushed Mrs. lettings skull in
with a stove-cover, her life having been
taken in much the same manner as that
of Miss Olson at Duluth. She was
woman so years of age, and the CRIME was
done for $500 in cash, that amount of
money having been taken from her trunk
after its commission.
AT this time James King, whom the best
criminal officers of Seattle and Tacoma saw
was an accomplice, was at theater with
Ernest Fetting, the old womans son.
They attended the place of amusement-a
vaudeville affair-at Kings earnest solici-
tation, and remained until after midnight.
1t is now known that King and Allsop
were bosom friends and that thew PLAYED
cards together almost nightly about this
time, and that frequently William A. Will
cox, who was thrice tried for the murder
of Mrs. Fetting. being convicted once and
finally securing his acquittal, was one
of the party.
Just four days after Wilcox's arrest, No
vember %, 1893, Allsop made his appear
ance at the Minneapolis boarding house
where his valise, the telltale letters and
will were found. King was killed, the po-
lice think, because he was about to turn
States evidence, not having been given his
share of the money stolen from the Fet-
ting house as the proceeds OF the murder.

Kinley, ard declaring him the choice of
the party in the district for President.

RELATIONS PURELY PLAToNIC.
Such Was the Evidence ELECTED at the
Trial of the Couple for
Adultery.

Los ANGELES. CAL, April 23.-J. w.
Pitroff was shot through the thigh and
his 12-year-old daughter in the shoulder
this evening by Charles S. M. Peyton, the
alleged paramour of Pitroff's wife. Mrs.
Pitroff, who is a spiritualist medium, left
her husbands bed and board at San Ber-
nardino nearly year ago and came to Los
Angeles, where she set up housekeeping
with young Peyton, who was one of her
disciples in the occult art. Pitroff followed
them and had the couple arrested for
adultery. They set up the defense that
their relations were purely platonic and
the complaint was dismissed on the
gounds of insufficiency of evidence. Pit
rolf went armed and repeatedly threatened
to shoot Peyton if he caught him in COM
pany with his wife. The tragedy was post
poned, however, by Mrs. Pitroff's depart
ure for San Diego, while Peyton remained
here.
This evening Pitroff, on hearing that
his wife had returned from San Diego,
went to lodging-house on First street,
where she was staying, to see his little
girl. He found Peyton there with his
wife and child and proceeded to carry out
his long-standing threat. Drawing a re-
volver, he fired three shots at Peyton, all
of which went wide of the mark. Peyton
meantime drew his gun and fired several
shots at Pitroff, one of which wounded
him in the thigh. During the melee q
spent ball struck Pitroff's little girl in the
shoulder, inhicting a painful but not dan
gerous wound. Pitroff walked to the Po-
lice Receiving Hospital for surgical treat
ment. Peyton ran from the house and
has not yet been captured.

The C.stprit Said to Be a Student of
Columbia College.
NEW YORK, I'LL, April 23.-The stu
dents OF Columbia College are much exer-
cised about a series of thefts extending
over nearly four months. Early in Janu-
ary members of the crew lost watches and
wallets and scarfpins from their lockers in
the gymnasium. After the crew had been
pretty well plucked the field of operations
was transferred to the Manhattan Athletic
Club gymnasium, where the track team
trained until April i. The mode of pro-
cedure here was the same, except that as
many of the lockers had no KEYS the losses
were more frequen..
light OF their losses at first, but the thefts
continued with increasing frequency. So
far the guilt has not been placed on any
one. The attendants at the gymnasium
are not suspected. 1t is thought that the
thief or thieves must be of the student
body. At first there were rumors of a
kleptomaniac, but these are discredited bv
the system and continuance of the work,
The college people have made every en-
deavor to keep the facts quiet. 1t is said
that detectives have been employed. The
students are indignant at the thought that
one of their number should be guilty of
such conduct, and are anxious to have the
identity of the thief discovered. The value
of the articles SO far stolen will probably
not fall far short of $500.

Progressive Dunkards) to this sect1on to
engage in diversified farming. The follow

RESOLVED, That it is the desire of this Farm
ers' Union TO encourage immigration into our
neighborhood and extend cordial welcome
to all persons desiring to purchase land and
that every member of this union will use his
best endeavor to show said persons about our
neighborhood that they may see the fruitful
ness of our soil, the perfection of our system
of irrigation, our public schools and churches,
the healthfulness of our climate and the socia-
bility of the citizens of this district.
Terms for handling the land were agreed
upon and the probability is that all the
farmers will offer part of their holdings
at specially low price for a limited time
as an extra inducement to the first set
tiers.
Messrs. Harrison and Lichey have been
searching several months for the best
available soil for a colony. They have
been very careful and thorough in their
investigation of the soil and climate of
this section and they feel positive that
they have found the place here that they

Chairman William Lamb of Norfolk
raped the Republican State Convention
to order at IL O'Clock to-day, and made a
short speech, declaring that no matter
whether Reed, Mckinley, Allison or any
other good Republican was nominated,
Virginia would be for him.
In the course of a speech, Hon. ]. A.
Frazier OF Rockbridge referred to Stone
wall Jackson, whose picture adorns the
convention hall, and some one hissed.
Raising his voice to a high pitch, the
speaker said: Hell is too good for that
man.
After lively discussion Colonel Craig
was elected temporary chairman.
AT o'clock a recess was taken in order
to allow the various committees to make
their reports.
at IL o'clock tonight the convention
had been in session for three hours and no
business had been transacted.
The committee on credentials is tied up
and nothing can be done until report is
made. 1t Is absolutely certain that moth
ing of Importance will be transacted before
tomorrow. 1t is understood that the con-
vention will favor Mckinley, but that no
allusion will be made to the currencv uues-

BALTIMORE, ND, April 23.-The Pro-

the purpose of electing twenty two dele
gates to the National Convention of the
party, which will meet in Pittsburg Nav
q. The principal business of the conven-
tion was to generate enthusiasm for Joshua
Levering for President of the United States

done. The twenty-five delegates were i'm :
pressed with the fact that Maryland is for
Mr.. Levering first last and all the time.
Aside from the Levering enthusiasm the
event of to-day convention was the pres.
ence and address of Samuel Dickie, the
chairman of the National Committee of
the party.
