Chicago's One-Armed King of Gam

Chicago, June 16.-MFs Wesley Shin

ups and downs, but always has man
aged to keep afloat. The loss of an arm
and his peculiar personality have
caused him to become well known in
Chicago.

HAS A SURE THING.
Candidate For Supreme Court Judge
Named by Pennsylvania Democrats.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 16.-The con-
test before the Democratic state con-
vention for supreme court judge ended
with the unanimous nomination of
Judge S. L. Mestrezat of Fayette coun-
ty on the twenty-eighth ballot. Chas.
J. Kelley of Williamsport, permanent
chairman of the convention was nomi-
mated by reclamation for judge of the
superior court and Representative Will
liam T. Greasy, of Columbia, was the
unanimous choice for state treasurer.
After making these nominations the
convention adjourned.
The nomination for supreme court
judge is equivalent to an election by
reason of the fact that two are to be
elected in November and no elector as
entitled to vote for more than one.

GAVE ALL HER LAND.
Mrs. Stanford Deeds 1850 Acres to
the University.

San Francisco, Cal, June 16-Before
leaving for Europe Mrs. Jane Stanford
prepared two deeds which We're placed
on record today, conveying valuable
real estate to Stanford university. The
property consists of LOO acres in Las
sen county and $50 acres in Tehema
county. All of this land was recently
purchased by Mrs. Stanford to secure
valuable water rights and grazing land
for the big f1ocks of sheep owned by
her and which are to be transferred to
the Vina ranch, now owned by the uni
versity. All this is in addition to her
recent endowment of over 81, 600 900.
By this latest gift Mrs. Stanford has
transferred all her realty to the uni
versity save a house and lot in Sacra-
mento, the residence of the senator and
his family in early days, and particular
ly at the outset of his career as a rail-
way magnate. She will eventually
give that property also.
Mrs. Stanford is now on her way to
Europe for a three months tour While
away, it is said, she contemplates in
vesting 81 900, 600 in rare bric-a-brac for
the university museum.

NOT HALF THROUGH.
Russian View of Operations In the
Philippines

New York, June 16.-Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador to this coun-
try, at the Waldorf-Astoria, said last
night that he would make the predic-
ton that the United States would reap
great commercial advantages from the
TranSsiberian railway.
There are thousands of miles of tele-
graph lines there now, and the preju-
dice against the innovation has almost
died away. 1t will be the same way
with the railway. At present there is
a fierce prejudice against it, but let the
natives once see the benefits and they
will not oppose it. The United States
will be a great gamer by the building
of the new road. The commerce of
Russian and Eastern Siberia is very
small at the present time, and it will
take years to develop it. The United
States, on the other hand, is already in
vading eastern China and Siberia with
American manufactures and as soon as
the Transsiberian line is running look
to see you distance all Corners.
Speaking of the American occupancy
of the Philippines, he said: I'VE Rus
slams are rather glad than otherwise,
but you are not half through with your
troubles over there yet. General Otis
needs about twice as many men as he
is using now"

Cleveland Police Never Catch Any
Rioting Strikers.

Cleveland, O., June 16-While the
sixth day of the street railway men
strike started peaceaOly enough, there
was serious rioting before nightfall ard
hospitals in consequence. The trouble
began shortly after noon near the Lake
View car barns on Euclid averue. A
crowd attacked a car on which several
non-union men were riding and the
conductor, James Murphy, VINO came
from st. Louis, was hauled from the
platform. Murphy drew a revolver and
fired into the air and then took to his
heels. The mob then assaulted some
of the other non-union men on the car,
injuring them quite severely, but the
rioters had disappeared when the po-
lice arrived.
Soon afterward another car, in which
were several women passengers, was at
tackled. Bricks and stones were hurled
through the windows, but the women
escaped injury The conductor, Antho-
ny Wuerst, from Milwaukee, was struck
in the face by a brick and a stone
which hit him on the head rendered
him unconscious MotOrman Fox also
of Milwaukee, was hit by a shower of
brick and stone and was so badly hurt
that he had to be carried with WuerSt
sequently sent to a hospital. In this
case as in the other the mob had dis
perSed when the police arrived. little
later a third car was stopped by
crowd q men which had been concealed
in bushes at the side of the street.
Fifteen or 20 men boarded the car and
a desperate fight ensued between them
and E. w. Newman and G. w. King.
the conductor and mOtorman both from
Buffalo. Both men were chased from
the car and were beaten with clubs and
kicked in a brutal manner. Newman
was so badly injured that it was nee
essary to send him to a hospital. This
mob disappeared before the police ar
rived.

STRIKE TAKING EFFECT.
Colorado Roads Begin to Lay OF
Train Crews.

Denver, June 16.-J. B. Grant, chair
man of the operating committee of the
American Smelling & Refining company,
has refused a. request of the executive
board of the State Federation of Labor
for a conference with a view to ending
the strike at the trusts smelters. I'VE
are willing to commence the operation
of our smelters and pay the same scale
for parallel classes of labor that is
paid at the Hanauer smelter in Utah
and the Argo smelter in Denver" said
Mr.. Grant.
The executive board will now en-
deavor to bring about a conference be-
tween the trusts representatives and
the smelter employees. Nothing has yet
developed to justify a prosecution un-
der the new eight hour law all the
men are out of the Grant and Globe
smelters and the law is in force at the
Argo. over 900 miners employed at the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Co.'S mines in
the Trinidad district have struck for ten
hours pay for eight hours work.
The railroads have begun laying off
crews on account of the falling off in
ore shipments.

BOOK JESSE JAMES.
The Young Man Has Published q
Story of His Fathers Life.

Kansas City, June 16.-"Jesse James,
My Father is the title of a paper
covered volume bearing on its outer
page picture of Jesse James, jr. Young
Jesse claims the authorship of the book
which purports to be the life of the old
bandit. However, it deals very largely
with the arrest and trial of the young
man for train robbery. Chapters from
the writings of the late John n. Ed
wards are distributed through the vol
ume. His story, Noted Guerrillas,"
while interesting, is more poetic and
romantic than historical or true. Jesse's
book has a preface declaring it to be
the only authentic and genuine history
of the old bandit. Several chapters are
given to the exploits of Quantrell and
bis men. This, too, is largely gathered
from Major Edwards book, which was
originally intended as almost pure ro-
nance. In Jesse's book Jesse James is
made a sort of leader of the Quantrell
band. His battles with "Jayhawkers,"
"Redlegs'' and Home guards are at
tended with almost as many fatalities
Jack Harkaway'S Indian fights.
These visitors from across the border
must have been very numerous for in
a few chapters Jesse sends several bat
talions of them@ to the happy hunting
grounds.
Jesse wrote his book for profit And
uphill fight. 1 ask the public to give
me credit of having worthy motives and
of being DESTROYS of succeeding in the
world as a business man and a good
citizen of the good state of Missouri. on
whose soil my father fought and bIed
and suffered as few men fought and
suffered for the lost cause"

HATHAWAY PROMOTED.
Now Assistant superintendent c
Western Rural Delivery Routes.

E. H. Hathaway, the special agent
for the establishment of rural delivery
routes, has received notice that he has
been advanced to be assistant superin-
tendent of the western division of the
rural delivery service. The western d.
vision includes all the territory from
Ohio west, and the superintendent re-
sides in Indianapolis. Mr.. Hathaway
thinks of making his headquarters in
Topeka.
The present appropriation for the ru-
raj delivery service is $500, 900 per year,
and when that amount is used up the
extension of the service will stop until
the appropriation is increased. The sal
aries and expenses of agents and sup
erintendentS will use upwards OF $1OO,-
900 of this but about the same amount
will be saved by the abolition of small
postofficeS and star routes, so that there
will be about $780, to spend on the
salaries of carriers. This means 500
carriers in the United States, or an av-
erage of about II to state
Mr.. Hathaway already has applica-
lions enough in Kansas to nearly use
up this number, SO that communities
which want to get rural delivery mad
better get in their applications in the
immediate future.
1t is hoped that the next congress will
increase the appropriation for this pur-
pose to $3.50, 000 If it does it will allow
the service to be greatly extended. This
expenditure will in time come back to
the department, 1t is claimed, as rural
delivery will increase the business of
the postoffice system sufficiently to pay
for it's cost.
Mr.. Hathaway has appointed A. P.
Roundtree colored, a brother of Coun-
Gilman Roundtree, to be carrier on the
Tecumseh route, and c. A. Lewis, of
North Topeka, to be carrier on the
Soldier route, with William Mccoy as
substitute carrier. Each applicant was
required to undergo an examination in
reading addresses, making out reports
and other things necessary for carrier
to know, and the applicants making the
best general average were given the
jobs.
Mr. Hathaway has been called to at
tend a meeting of all the special agents
of the entire system in Washington on
July 1, at which different methods OF
establishing routes will be discussed.

WAR DANCE MEDICINE.
It Nearly Killed One Man and Ex
cited Others

Morris Cummings. who was arrest
ed Thursday noon for horse stealing,
drank a few swallows from a bottle of
Oxalic acid in the afternoon and but for
the prompt work of City Physician
Peers would have died from the eff
fectS.
When Cummings was arrested he was
intoxicated and after he was locked up
in the Jail he begged the officers to send
out and get him a drink. He found
a bottle with some white stuff in it,
and in his desire for drink thought he
would venture few swallows. He did,
and the doctors worked over him for
two hours.
Jailer Hopkins wet the cork in the
bottle and placed it to his tongue to
try it. He dropped the bottle and few
for the nearest watering place. He
danced around like a person on hot
irons and his tongue is still sore.
Sheriff Cook happened in and he tried
the stuff on his tongue. He executed
a war dance while the crowd kept time
for him. The stuff was hotter than
any red pepper could hope to be and the
two officers are tOngue-tied today.
