PLOT AGAINST NICHOLAS,


Tunnel Built In Warsaw to Assassin-
nte RussIn's Emperor.
Warsaw, Sept. 2o.--Though an official
denial will be forthcoming. it has leak
ed out from official circles in such
manner as leaves no room for doubt
that there was deliberate and deter
mined plot against Emperor Nicholas
at the time Of his recent visit to this
city. Its success was only frustrated
by accident
Several weeks before the arrival of
the imperial party q number OF per-
sons supposed to belong to the German
Socialist party undermined NorVy
SWAT the principal street in Warsaw.
between the governor generals palace
and the royal castle.
As the tunnel, which had been under
taken from the cellar o. a beer house,
approached completion the conspirators
became apprehensive of a collapse or
the roadway, and called in several Po-
lish mascns to build supports. The ma
sons. whose suspicious were aroused,
notified the police, and loO arrests FOL
lowed.
Among those in custody are four dis
guised German officers either on leave
or belonging to the landwehr. which
had been active in the actual work of
tunneling. number of merchants and
manufacturers from the town Of LodZy,
Poland, are also implicated.

Miserable Lives Made Happy.

Ill health brings misery into our lives

physical weakness that tho family physi
clan cannot drive away brings serious fore.
bodings, depression and gloom, Great
numbers of people live out their lives un.
der those hard conditions because the
underlying cause of oil is beyond tho
reach of tho treatment known to the
ordinary practitioner. 1t takes specia.
list like DIR. Greene to cope with these
despairing cases. This distinguished
physician is the most successful and ex.
perienced specialist in the world, and he
offers consultation and advice absolutely
free Of charge. His discoveries in modi.

owe to DIR. Greene their present comfort,
and in many casos life itself, are living
evidence of his unverying success.

Gillls, an attorney of this place. claims
to have seen the wife Of A. l.. Luet-
CERT. who is now on trial in Chicago
for her murder, long after the woman's
body is supposed to have been boiled
to pieces in the sausage factory. He
says the woman came to him in the
latter part Of May and consulted him
about getting a divorce. He had no
idea the woman was Mrs. Luetgert
until last Wednesday. when he entered
the court room IN Chicago and heard
her described, and afterward saw her
photograph, He did not make his be-
lief known at that time for fear of be-
ing detained in Chicago as witness,
thus interfering with pressing business
here. He will now testify for Luetgert.

WILLIAMS FOR GOVERNOR.
The Massachusetts Silverite Captures
the Democratic Nomination.


the Democratic Nomination.
Worcester, Mass, Sept. 29.-George
Fred Williams. of Dedham. was yes
terday nominated for governor Of Mas
sachusetts by the Democratic state
convention on platform that square,
ly endorses that adopted by the ma
tional convention at Chicago last sum-
mer. The other nominees are: For
lieutenant governor, Christopher T.
Callahan Of Holyoke; state secretary.
c. d. Nash of Whitman; attorney gen.
eral, John A. O'Keefe Of Lynn; treas
urer and receiver general. T. A. Wat
son Of Boston; auditor, ]. L. Chalifoux
of Lowell.
The convention was so dlsorderly at
times as almost to require the inter-
veution Of the police. George Fred
Williams was the principal figure in
the convention. There was no opposi-
ton to his nomination for governor, but
his insiStence on the turning down OF
old party leaders who were lukewarm
in support of himself and Bryan last
fall created tumult at the outset, be-
fore permanent organization had been
effected.
Williams wanted men of his personal
choice selected as members of the state
committee at large, and over this the
contest waged hercely. 1t was not nee
essarily a Williams-anti.Wil con-
troversy for the free silver advocates
plainly had a great majority of the del
egates In sympathy with him. But the
pride Of old party leaders was touched.
Their personal reputation and home
prestige was at stake, and they pro-
posed to have the convention accept
their pledges of loyalty, and not sub
nit to personal inquisltion as to their
sincerity.
Congressman Fitzgerald was called
to order by the chairman when he
branched off on the Dingley bill and
free raw materials, and the congress-
man refused to be seated. Finally, on
motion of Mr.. Williams, he was given
q. five minutes time. Mr.. Williams re-
sponded. charging the congressman with
inactivity during the last campaign
and dsloyalty to the Chicago platform.
Finally the tumult subsded and the
work of the convention was proceeded
