HIS MAJORITY Is 90.
Mr.. CULLkY BECOMES MAYOR OF
KENOSHA.
AFTER A VERY STIFF BATTLE
The Republicans Gain One Alderman and
one School Commissioner Demo
cratic Major1ties Cut Down
Some Surprises.

For the next year Frank G. Culley
will be mayor of Kenosha. When the
ballots were counted it was found that
he had small majority of SO votes.
The battle fought this spring be-
tween the republicans and democrats
was one of the hottest experienced in
Kenosha in many years. The issue
was closely drawn between the two
parties, especially on the platform Of
the republican convention.
The battle was very close in its re-
suits all through as will be readily seen
by reference to accompanying table,
corrected completely. from the mid
night edition Of this paper.
There we're several surprises in the
result. For instance Culley's majority
in the Second ward was but AS. The
Fourth ward is generally pretty close,
but Culley got out of it with D. The
First ward was considered pretty safe
for Van Ingen, but Culley captured it
by 81, while in the Third ward, owing
to elements of extraordinary weakness
on the republican ticket and excep-
tional strength in the democratic ticket
what would ordinarily be majority
of 300 for Van Ingen was cut down to
about 100.
In the First ward w. p. O'Donnell is
retired from the council Charles FL.
Gonnermann will take his place by the
grace of six votes. A. j. Burg holds
his place on the school board by 40
majority Henry Beck defeated c. A.

The Title of Admiral.

It should here be explained that
the title of admiral was not used
in England in the earlier days. In
fact, the better opinion is that it
was not so used before the beginning
of the fourteenth century He was
called capitaneus maris Captain of
the sea), keeper of the seacoasts, y
captain of the kings mariners. =
The title admiral or "amiral, "
probably derived from the Arabic
amir or emir (prefect), was used in
foreign countries much earlier than
in England and came from France
Prynne Administrations, page
1867 states that there were admi-
rails and an admiralty court in Eng
land as early as the time of Henry
I, derived from our ancient Saxon
kings Alfred, Edgar, Ethelred and
others who had the dominion Of the
British ocean None of these kings
probably was more potent than
King Edgar, who, possessing an alb
solute dominion Of the neighboring
sea, sailed round about it every year
and secured it with a constant
guard These ships, being very stout
ones, were in number 1, goo Some
writers even affirm that there were
4, 800 sailing ships-London Maui

Jrrbana Mob Wreck Vengeance OH
the AssaiIant of Mrs. Gaumer.

1Irbana, Ohio, June 5.-After the fir
ing Of the militia on the crowd OF spec
tators during the early morning hours,
Governor Bushnell ordered Company
E of the Third infantry of Sprlngheld,
to come here at once. They were notl-
fed that they were not needed, ana
marched away. The local military
company had previously refused 70
serve longer, and had gone to the sec
ond story Of the sheriff's residence, and
there gone to sleep. With no resistance
offered the crowd at once made rush
for the side door, two strong ana deter
mined men kicked it down in snort
order. and gained admission to the
iail, the crowd following. There were
plenty of sledge hammers, chlsels anu
other tools and the men went to work:
part of the crowd had previously forced
themselves upstairs into the private
apartments Of the sheriff, and found a
bunch of keys, which proved to be the
keys of the tailor The crowd got into
the Jail in short order. They dld MOI no
wait to unlock the doors OF Mltcnell ;
cell, but burst the lock with sledSe
hammer. and the door soon flew open.
Mitchell was standing in his cell, and
offered no resistance, and dld not uttei
a word, Some one in the crowd had a
rope, and it was placed over the brute
neck and the crowd made for the door,
Mitchell following at the end.
In going down the steps OUTSIDE OF
the Jail, Mitchell fell down, and the the
rope snapped off of his neck. me
crowd surrounded him and jumped on
him like a thousand hungry dogs after
a bone. The brute was kicked, beaten
and nearly killed. The rope was quick
ly slipped over his head again and a
rush made for a tree in the corner OF
the court yard. The end was thrown
over strong limb and a thousand
willing hands pulled the wretch up.
The end was tied to an iron fence ana
Mitchell was left hanging there IN run
view of several thousand people, to die.
All this was done in a shorter time
than II takes to tell the story.

ProSpectOrs-Chang in Poor
man Mnnagement.

Kendrick reports that travel toward
the old gold fields of the Florence, Elk
City, Warren's and Pierce district still
continues in large numbers, the disap
pearance of the snow having great eff
feet in livening up travel toward these
districts. The Banner shaft at Flor
ence is sunk to a depth of 1870 feet. and
is said to show fine, well-defined
ledge, measuring four feet in width.
Owing to water interference, work has
been suspended until the new steam
hoist which is on the road, can be put
in position to renew work. They have
about 600 tons of ore on the dump, and
say they will put a 10-stamp mill on
the property as soon as it can be done.
The camp has been greatly interested
in strike made on the Toledo. The
ore is said to be quite rich. A force of
men have been put to work on the prop
erty. Travel toward the Pierce camp
is increasing, but it is apparent that
the Florence district claims a grea ter
number of the prospectors going into
the mountains of this portion of Idaho
at the present time.

Prospecting Near Nelson.

There We're Alb new mineral locations
filed for record in Nelson, B. c., from
May l to 27, inclusive. Calculated at
so acres to a location, over 10000 acres
of land are represented by the filings.
The hills around Nelson are swarming
with prospectors who are branching
out in all directions. A majority of the
locations recorded so far have been in
the Wild Horse or Quartz creek dis
trict, and Immediately adjacent to Mel
son. A number of claims have been
staked on Toad mountain, and the 10
Gators say that they have good ground,
although it was previously thought of
as being thoroughly prospected. On
both sides of Kootenay river from Mel

PATENT LAWYER SHOT TO KILL
Young Woman VIII Probably Re-


Washington, June S.-The throng of
government clerks and others hurryin 6
up Pennsylvania avenue yesterday
morning were startled by the attempt
ed murder of Miss Dorothy Squires
and the suicide of Charles Barber, n
patent attorney, who had gained much
notoriety of late by his eccentric ac-
tions. Barber shot Miss Squires i'll the
back of the head, and then put pistol
ball through his brain, causing almost
instant death. Miss Squires will PROB
ably recover.
Barber had considerable patent prac-
tice for several years, and Of late many
of his friends thought him mentally un-
balanced. Miss Squires formally work
ed for him as stenographer, and upon
| leaving his employ he annoyed her with
his attentions, threatening to injure her
if she would not permit him to call.
Finally she had to appeal to the courts
for protection, and he was placed under
bonds to keep the peace. Since then the
girl has received several threatening
letters from him, in the last of which
he announced that he would do some
thing which they would both regret.
Barber also came before the Wash
| ington public in another but similar
role few days ago, being brought into
police court for an assault with some
sensational features arising out of a
struggle for a fine dog he possessed. He
came to Washington from Plattsburg,
N. Y, and was associated in a few
cases with the late Benjamin F. Butler
of Mass SachusettS.

The Greenwood camp in the Boun-

the veins are capped with iron, occur

IN others as magnetic. Upon these
caps being pierced the veins proper are
exposed. These as a rule carry from 8
to Is per cent copper, and approx

CROWS NEST PASS RAILWAY.
Something of the Country Through
Which the Road Will Pass.

Something of the Country Through
Which the Road Will Pass.
Spokane, June 7.-Speaking of the
Crows Nest Pass railway, one who is
we'll acquainted with the country
through which it will pass said to a
Spokesman-Review reporter: "At the
present time there are thousands of
Spokane and Washington people inter
ested in the mineral deposits along the
proposed line Of this great road, who
will be made wealthy by it's construc-
ton. I have just been up in the Fort
Steele country, and there are hundreds
of prospectors from the states up there.
They are on their way to the Moyie,
Perry and Werner creeks, to the wild
Horse and Bull rivers, into that great
ravine east of the mountain spurs
which cast their shadows on the east
bank of the Kootenay; they swarm up
the ST. Mary's and off towards the
North Star property and the Sullivan
group, where there are supposed to be
some excessively rich deposits; they are
off on the range, far back Of the new
townsite of Wardner and many have
gone toward the upper waters of the
to locate the minerals of that region.
All will not get interests there but
many will. and as those interests will
be reasonably close to the railroad, de-
ye1Opment is certain to follow.
'"The Sullivan group, one Of the
most wonderful ore bodies yet found in
America, is owned by Spokane men al
most exclusively. Besides one must not

few days I have been told Of discov-

hereabouts, is of more Importance than
that of gold and silver, and that is the
discovery of a large deposit Of venia-
tite iron. With such iron near coal
deposite like that of the Crows Nest
pass, there is no reason why a great
iron manufacturing center should not
spring up near us, which would pro-
duce all the steel required not only in
British Columbia, but in this section as
we'll, at greatly reduced rates. Spo-
kane is the nearest city to this new sec

1T WAS AN AWFUL CRASH
Five Men Instantly Killed on the
Omaha Railroad.

Hudson Wis, June S.-Five men were
instantly killed and four were badly in
jured by collision on the Omaha rail-

the crews no possible escape. The
dead:
E. S. Hurd laborer.
Jose H. Leightheiser, laborer.
Thomas Reilly, laborer.
Milton Swain, laborer.
Herman Reby, fireman.
The first four named are Of Eau
Claire, Wis. Four others were injured.
A way freight, westbound, was rum

when, upon nearing a short curve, on
a down grade, 1T came upon a work
train backing east at a speed Of 25
miles an hour. The collision was some
thing terrific. On the rear Of the wor K
train was the boarding car, in which
were four men belonging to the work
crew. They were never aware of their
danger and were undoubtedly instantly
killed. The car took fire and three
bodies were burned in the wreck.

FAVORABLE OUTLOOK FOR CROPS.
Squirrels, GrasshOppers and the Hot
Wave Practically Hnrmless.

Spokane, June Especial crop reports
in the Spokesman-Review say that while
the hot wave passed over the Palouse
country it did not do much damage to
grain and that in the vicinity of Pullman
wheat is so far advanced that it would
take weeks Of exceeding hot weather
to do it much damage. Moisture is retain
ed in the soil to a wonderful degree in the
Big Bend country, and as a general thing
excellent crop prospects are reported.
More than the usual amount of barley and
oats will be raised this year in the Pot
latch country, and the prospects of crops
in general are excellent, especially in the
matter of fruit. In scattered spots there
are reports of grasshoppers and squirrels,
but the damage caused by the pests is
insignificant.
