THEY CANNOT AGREE.
The State Democratic Convention In Ken
lucky DisOrderly Affair-GOe-
bel in Control.

Louisville, KY, June ga continu-
GUS performance Of farce lasting eight
hours; rare vocal entertainment with
soloists and chorus of several hun
bred voices; declarations and tin horn
tests Of lung power made up the pro-
gramme of the sixth days session OF
the democratic state convention, and
it narrowly escaped winding up in an
exhibition of pugilism and marksman-'
ship. From ten O'Clock until six yes
terday, Central Music hall contained,
without doubt, the most uproarious
and disorderly body Of men that ever
gathered for the transaction Of politi-
cal or other business.
Behind this spectacular entertain
ment the three candidates for governor
worked like beavers Yesterday it was
clearly Goebel against the field, and
the Kenton county leader, cold and
nerveless as ever, has successfully defed
his two opponents to combine and beat
him. They may do it yet, but SO far
they have shown themselves wholly
lacking in ability to throw their vote
in any one direction or keep it silent
when it seemed best to their managers
that no votes be cast Goebel controls
the organization of the convention and
through it the state central committee,
and they probably will attack him
here, too, If they can get together.
Yesterdays events will tend to bring
them closer, but at present the fight is
as open and fierce as it has been at any
time.

FOUL CRIME COMMITTED.


Bluff City, Kan, June %. Minnie
Kornstead, the ten-year-old daughter
of Tony Homestead, four miles north OF
this city, was found in an old aban-
doned well with a severe confusion on
the side of her face and she died half
an hour after the discovery. She left
her home Tuesday afternoon on an err
rand to her aunt, living two miles
away, and failing to return a party
was organized at night to hunt for her.
The well was an old one, located in a
lonely spot surrounded by trees back
of Mrs, Philes barn and was covered
with heavy boards. The boards were
in perfect order, showing conclusively
foul play,

ACCUSED OF FORGERY.
kOta United States Senator Gave the
Public Bogus Letter.

Sioux Falls, S. d., June 27.-Alf
Burkholder, newspaper man, has
created sensation in political and
army circles in South Dakota by charg-
ing that United States senator forged
a letter in support of the senator's hos
tility to expansion and to the ward
politicians. The letter purported to
have been written by an officer of the
First regiment, South Dakota volun-
teers, whose name was withheld
through fear that the writer would
be court-martialed. The letter re-
Elected on practically every feature of
the conduct of the war in the Philip
pines, limited at an investigation and
at dreadful exposures, declared that
sick volunteers were compelled to
leave the hospitals and take their
places on the firing line; and,
in fact, described the conditions
in the American ranks as being little
better than in the convict camps of
Siberia. The point in the letter which,
according to Burkholder, led to its be-
ing exposed as spurious, was the fact
that it was dated at Manila, April Q,
and described the fighting which re-
suited in the capture Of Calumpit on
April 26, more than two weeks after
the letter purported to have been writ
ten.

Pingree as the republican national

desires in the coming convention a
complimentary mention that will place
him in the list Of presidential posi-

Is A MYSTERY STILL.
Probably a Defective Switch Was
Responsible.

The wreck on the Union Pacific at
Ogdensburg has made much wonder
among the railroad men. The cause
is a mystery, although it is attributed
to a defective split switch at the
point where the train left the main
track and bumped over the ties on
the siding. The switch was found in
proper position after the wreck and
trains have used it since. Frank P.
Root, mail clerk, was severely
bruised and injured internally. 1t is
that he will recover. He
was taken to his apartments at the
Glenarm hotel in Denver. Frank
Root is the son OF DR.. j. P. Root and
formerly lived in Kansas City, Kas.

Warning Cry Against Trusts.

Des Moines, Ia, June S.-ln his adj
dress to the annual meeting of county
attorneys of Iowa, Attorney General
Remley uttered some startling express
sions on the subject of trusts. In con-
clusion, he said. Socialism follows in
the wake of the trust. The French
revolution was the logical sequence of
concentration into the hands of the
church and the mobiles of the greater
part of the lands and wealth of France.

near at hand in our country, but |

ing in that direction.

The apparent lethargy of the iron
trade is not due to dullness, but to the
refusal Of furnace men to make con-
tracts beyond the first six months of
next year. While some few contracts
as high as S25 per ton have been re-
ported for delivery during the last half
OF 1900 neither party are fully satisfied
with the arrangement, says the Ohio
Valley Manufacturer The price for
iron is considered an uncertain factor
twelve or eighteen months ahead, and
furthermore, the furnacemen are de-
termlned to share the profit Of the flu
ture.
Pig Iron.-There is no immediate
prospect of dullness in pig iron, as the
output is absorbed for the next six
months, and many furnaces are not
producing their full tonnage because Of
the scarcity OF coke.
BIllets.-W While sales OF billets have
been small prices have been firm, as
the supply has been engaged for
months to come, and any marked
change Of price in the immediate fu-
ture Is unexpected.
Finished Material.-The weakness in
sheets has not extended to other lines,
and the firmness Of the market is due to
the demand for bars and structural
material, while on the other hand the
price has limited the demand to press
Ing wants.
Old MateriaI-The. continued high
rate has brought to the market large
supply Of scrap, and while the tone
continues strong concession in the
price is probable for the near future.
