PREACHERS House DYNAMITED.
While Rev. Peter, of Lapaz, l. Out of TowI

While Rev. Peter. of Lapaz. Is Out of Town
His Enemies Get in Their Work.
Last Saturday night someone mali
ciOusly put dynamite under the house
of Rev. Martin Luther Peter, of Lapaz,
and demolished the entire front of it.
Suspicious have been fixeG, but no con-
victing evidence can be adduced. The
trick was prims facie the work of a
coward. Mrs. Peter and her little baby
were alone in the house, as Mr.. Peter
was absent from town. All this were
the perpetrators doubtless aware of,
and hence chose that very night for
their contemplate job. When TIE ex-
plosiOn came, Mrs. Peter was fright
ened almost into insensibility. Al
though escaping any physical injury,
she was so Frustrated that she could
not investigate to determine the cause
bors rushed 10 the house, attracted by
the loud explosion, they found her in the
same exhausted condition from which
she was revived only 10y careful minis
terinp.
The men who planned and carried
out this malicious plot are unknown.
Their reason for doing it may at least
be guessed at. Rev. Peter, it must be
remembered, has been carrying on a
constant warfare with the saloon ele-
ment of LapsZ. Recently on more than
one occasion he has caused arrests and
forced the accused parties into the
courts to defend themselves. a natural
conclusion would be that the affair Sat
urday night was bit of pique prac-
ticed by the saloon men upon their
followers Some, however, refuse to
believe that such an explanation
satisfies the situation. The men
placed under the ban of suspicion are
men whose characters are above
anything so cowardly and low. 1t fol-
lows that some enemy of the saloon
men themselves may have done the
deed in order to gain a personal triumph
and see the innocent uDjustly accused
by the public eye.

Senator Lin,Isay's Point.

Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, before
the American Bar association Tuesday
made strong argument as to the legal
ity of the acquisition of the Philip
pines, and one which does not require
the technical knowledge of the lawyer
to appreciate. Not discussing the
question of the legality of government
without the consent of the governed,
without regard to the sonndness of this
contention, he says that the Philippines
have had no opportunity to give their
consent to government by the United
States. The Tagals, who constitute
only minor portion, are in rebel
lion, without the consent of the
rest of the FilIpinos. Moreover, the
Filipinos as a class are not familiar
enough with the principles of the
United States government to be quail
lied to give an intelligent consent.

" Flew the Coop"

Wednesday the citizens of this usual
ly serene city were somewhat startled
at the announcement that Pittman,
manager of the Colorado hotel the
past four months, had quietly showed
down all the cash and skipped for parts
unknown, taking his family with him.
1t is also said that he leaves many local
creditors who mourn his departure and
will not be comforted. We hear it ru-
mored that the owner of the house will
make an effort to have this "slick
knave" brought to justice, if he can be
located. We await developments

The Meteor won, finishing at S;i5:l5.
Britannia was second finishing at 3;j6;50,
and Santa finished al 413:50.
The Moteor's victory disappoints Eng

cause they do not like to have the cup

result causes doubts rs to the Shamrock 3

When told by over one and one-half MIN

The Meteor's fine form is attributed to

yawl rig and a prominent yachtsman eX-
pressed the opinion that she would now
prove a formidable rival to the Shamrock.

THREE CASES IN PHOEBUs.
Business There and at Hampton Has
Been Suspended,

ant development of the day in the yellow
fever situation was the discovery of three
cases in the town of Phoebus, adjoining

victims and The most remarkable feature
of his case is the fact that he believed he
mad yellow jaundice. While walking
about the streets to-day he was seen by

pronounced the disease yellow fever Dr.

tined.
The other two victims are old soldiers
who were found in saloon. They were
sent to the hospital at the home. These
are the only cases that have been report
ed at Phoebus, although many wild ru-
more regarding the outbreak there have
been in circulation. The report that two
negroes died there to-day is erroneous.

tically dead here. The leading hotel clos
