The Battleship Maine Destroyed.

Washington, D.. c., Feb. l6.-Special.
"A cable message from Havana last
night conveyed the startling Information
that the United States battleship Maine
had been practically destroyed by u
terrific explosion which took place at
6:45 o'clock and in which 253 men lost
their lives.
The vessel was living in the harbor and
the idea that Of boiler explosion is rid
iculed by the officials as under the cir
cumstances, the steam pressure carried
would not be great enough, as Que off,
cial put It, ITO blow u mans hat off,"
Captain Siesbes reported that, from the
best information he had, there appeared
to have been two explosions. one in the
water underneath the vessel and the
other In the powder magazine of the
ship itself. This appears to indicate
that torpedo had been exploded in the
water, but whether the vessel had &C..
cidentallv tou!ed q torpedo placed for
harbor protection or the tragedy WAS the
result of the deliberate act of some evil
disposed person cannot yet be deter.
mined.

kotans laugh, with his witty and cpl
grammatic sayings, and no one has i'm.
pressed the multitudss more fayorably
with his eloquence. Therefore the fol.
lowing from tho Grand Forks Herald
will be read with universal regret: "rhe
many friends OF Col. w. C. Plummer
will regret to learn that he is hopelessly
insane. and is confined in IN asylum in
New York City. Last fall. during the

stages of insanity we're first noticed. and
Alex Mckenzie and other friends in the

to stay the disease if possible, but he
has grown worse from week to week and

alton is that he is Banker PIummer Of

Beatty's Organs ana Pianos.

Hon. Daniel f. Beatty, Of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and Piano
Manufacturer, is building ana chipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a penniless
pIow-boy, and by his indo,nitable will
he has worked his way up 80 as to sell so
far. over 100000 Of Beatty's Organs and
Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles laid in his
way, that would have wrecked an ordi-
nary man forever, he turns to an adver-
tisement and comes out of it brighter
than ever. He was navor of Washing
ton, New Jersey from 1879 to 1883, five
terms, and recently declined renomi-
nation for the sixth term. His instru.
ments, as is we'll known, are very popu-
lar and are to be found in all parts of
the world. We are informed that dur
ing the next ten years he intends to sell
200 600 more Of his make; that means
business Of $4,000, 600, if we average
them at $500 each. 1t is already the
largest business Of the kind in existence.

Washington, New JERSEY, for catalogue.

With these words Cowboy Doc Tanner
faced his executioners on the morning
of Jan. 2, at Valdez pass. The men who
passed sentence upon him were mem
bsrs OF a party of Massachusetts pros
pectors bound for the Copper river
country. Alaska. and the crime for
which Tanner paid the penalty WAS the
killing of N. A. Call. of WoIthinRton,
MIMI, and William Lee, of Massachu-
sets. The expedition consist ed of forty
men and NJ. F. Tanner had joined them
in Seattle on their way north. He was
supplied with an outfit, and taken into
membership, but unmindful Of that fact.
he was quarrelsome, and 40 overbearing
that his companions decided that he
must leave the party. On the evening
of Jan. l. = meeting was held in Calls
tent, and during the conference the
statement WAS made:
I'VE must get rid of Tanner; let him
take his share of the outfit and shift for
himself. We are up here for business,
and we mean what we say"
There were four men at the meeting,
and no sooner had the remark been
made than the flag of the little tent was
pulled aside. The cowboy stood there.
six-shooter in hand.
"Boys, I overheard your talk about
me-" he said deliberately. PPM here
for business"
Before his victims realized what had
happened, Tanner had shot twice, and
the bullets pierced Call and Lee through
the chest. Tanner fred again, but his
preceding shots had extinguished the
candle, and the bullet did not take effect.
Ono Of the remaining members crouched
down behind some baggage, and the
other, cutting his way out OF the tent,
gave the alarm. Tanner, supposing the
three men to be dead, took station in
some brush and waited. 1t was not
long before he was surrounded.
"You'd better surrender your gun"
was called out to him.
IF you say so. boys, I'll do it," was
his response, and be then handed over
his weapon. The miners at once con-
vened, and by an overwhelming major.
ity decided that Tanner should he
hanged. There was some discussion OF
the question of shooting him, but the
majority decided on the rope. When
notified of the decision, Tanner observed
that he hoped they would not tantalize
him by strlnging him up and letting
him down again before he was dead
He was led out in the snow in the early
morning. He fearlessly allowed the
rope to be tied about bis neck, and &C
met his doom. He was buried face
downward.
A. C. Lobbe, of San Francisco, who
witnessed the execution, said he never
saw such an exhibition of nerve. Tan
ner declined to make q statement, othel
than to cay that at 9 years of age he wal
loft an orphan. Call and Lee had fam
lilies.

Kansas City Star: Upon the office
desk Of Ex-Governor y. f. Crittenden
in the Massachusetts, building are two
small busts in clay. One does not re-
quire a second glance to tell whose
likenesses they are. One is William
Jennings Bryan and the other is of
the governor himself. They arrived
from the City of Mexico recently and
were made during Mr.. organs and the
governors recent trip to the southern
republic.
The man who made those busts,"
said Governor Crittenden, lis really
one Of the wonders of the age. He is
an untutored Indian. but "A most re.
markable genius. Mr.. Bryan and |
went to his shop and each sat before
him for a few moments. He first took
Il large piece of clay, peculiar TO that
country, and with his fingers and a
small tool he soon had the busts made.
They were taken home and baked.
That caused the delay in arriving.
This Indian is absolutely without
education. AS a younster, members
Of his tribe noticed that he spent most
Of his time fashioning birds, fish and
animals. AS he grew older he began
on faces. His reputation Travelled and
several years ago he went to the city
and opened a shop. He is now one of
the best known men in all Mexico"
The busts are six inches tall and are
perfect as to detail. Coat and shirt
buttons, neckties and all facial pecu-
liarities are brought out with remark
able eXactness. They are Of a dark
brwan color and have taken a high
polish.

CANNOT HOLD TWO OFFICES,
Question Concerning Federal Serv-
ants and Army Conn
mnnlppS

hluiltitESs
Washington, May 1O.-An interest
ing question has arisen at the war de-
partment in connection with the APP
pointments TO military places in the
volunteer army of persons who now
occupy federal positions. 1t m up
particularly with reference to Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt, Consul Gen
cral Lee and Representative Wheeler
of Alabama.
The judicial authorities of the wal
department say that when Il person
holding civil Office returns to the duty
thereof, after having been sworn into
the military service, he ceases TO be an
officer Of the army. They base their
contentious on section 1929 of the re-
vised statutes which reads as follows:
NO officer of the army shall hold
civil office, whether by election or APP
pointment, and every such officer who
accepts or exercises the functions of
civil office shall thereby cease to be an
officer of the army and his commits
sion shall be thereby vacated"
4" The purpose of this act" said al
official is to make the military al
ways subordinate to the military
ways subordinate to the civil branch
of the government, which is the cusa
tom generally among the English
speaking people"
The same authority pointed out the
persons holding Office in the states can
not hold official positions in the vol
unteer army, although there IL moth
ing to prevent their enlistment as pri-
Yates, who in the general acceptance
Of the term are not regarded as Off
GERS.

the shape of a cable from United
States Consul Wildman at Hong Kong,
which merely read:
Hong Kong, McCulloch. Wildman."
That is the usual form ian which a ma
val announcement is made by cable,
and Secretary Cridlcr was routed out
by the telegraph messenger at 4:4O
this morning to receive it,.
The officials then awaited with much
interest the arrival Of the dispatch eX-
pected to surely follow from Dewey.
About $3.50 Manager Marcan Of the
Western Union Telegraph appeared at
the navy department with a sheet
bearing four lines of a mysterious jar
gon, which constitutes the naval eli
pher. Long turned it, over to a trans
lator and set himself, with little sue
cess, to the transaction Of other bust
ness while the translation was being
made and word was getting around.
Alger and other officials came to the
department in order TO be on hand for
the earliest intelligence when the ci-
pher was worked out into its English
equivalent. At 10 o'clock Roosevelt
gave the waiting newspaper men an
abstract of the part already d~eciphered
and half an hour later Long read the
full dispatch as already sent.
1t was Immediately noticed that the
cablegram, as officially promulgated,
did not entirely agree with the brief
summary Of the points previously Civ
en- out. The presumption was at once
reached that the officials thought best
to edit the dispatch. Thus, as made
public, it contained no reference to
Dewey's cutting the cable or to the
fact that he lacked men to take pos
session of Manila, or that he had Ma
Mia bay at his mercy. II was also no.
ticed that the dispatch was dated May
], the day on which the first fight was
made, and it was evident that it had
not taken all of that time for the Me-
Cuiloch to steam to Hong Kong. SO il
was considered probable that Dewey
held the McCulloch for further devel-
opments, and that, as subsequently
proved true, she brought further news
of the doing after Sunday morning,
dated at Cayite, May 1, or Wednesday.
which is contained in the dispatch
First From Dewey.
Manila, May 1~.-Squadron arrived
at Manila at daybreak this morning.
Immediately engaged the enemy and
destroyed the following Spanish war

struck the earthworks repeatedly. The
Vicksburg fired but three shots from her
~6-pounder. The Spaniards continued to
fire shot and shell for twenty minutes, but
the shots were ineffective. Some of them
were so wild that they aroused the Amer
lean "jackies' to jeers. The Spaniards
only ceased firing when the Morrill, and
Vicksburg were completely out of range
Officers Of both the Morrill, and Vicks-
burg frankly admit their own recklessness
and the narrow escape of their vessels
from destruction.

Later In the day the Morrill, captured the
Spanish schooner Espana, bound for Ha-
vana, and towed the prize to Key West.
On Friday the French schoolship fri

In all, entered the harbor of Havana. She
was stopped by the Morrill, and two sa-,
lutes were fired by the Morrill, before she
showed her flag.
