One may be little surprised at the
confidence displayed by intelligent men
everywhere regarding the probable sue
cess of the Republicans this fall 1t is
to be regretted tina this confidence
tends to apathy, but intelligent people
cannot conceive how business men,
laboring men, farmers, mechanics, and
in fact all citizens who are enjoying
such full measure of prosperity can
vote to overturn that prosperity. And
while this is inconceivable; it cannot
be impressed too often upon the minds
of those very persons who are enjoying
the prosperity which is the fruit of
Republican rule, that they must see to
it in the November election that their
votes are cast and counted in order to
continue the blessings which are now
being enjoyed.

who did not feel the disastrous effects of
Democratic rule from 1893 to 1897. If
this class Of citizens realized to-day that
the return to that same Democrat rule
is almost sure to plunge them into the

no apathy nor possibility of Bryan's
success. The great difficulty is in con-
vincing contented men that there is a
possibility of danger ahead. Everybody
reali yes that in 1892 the same difficulty

Democratic disaster, four years of hard

HOUSES WRECKED.
Seven Persons Injured by Ex-
plosiOn of Natural Gas.

Beaver Falls, Pa, Dec. 20-Three
houses were wrecked and seven per-
sons injured by two natural gas ex-
plosions here today. The injured:
Three-year-old son Of Frank Barnes,
burned fatally.
One-year-oId daughter of Frank
Barnes, burned seriously; may die.
Mrs. Frank Barnes, burned about
head and hands.
Frank Barnes. burned slightly.
Mrs. H. A. Moore, burned slightly
about head.
Mrs Henry Cooper. burned slightly.
Mary Moore, burned about head.
The first explosion occurred about 6
o'clock in Mrs. Celia Coxe's house where
the Barnes family lived. The gas had
accumulated in the cellar and lower
part of the house, having followed the
water pipe from the street. The ex-
plosion was followed by fire which
spread to the adjoining dwelling and
both were consumed, the occupants
barely escaping with their lives An
hour later, or about z o'clock, the resi-
dence of H. A. Moore, just across the
street from Barnes, was torn to pieces
by a terrific explosion. The inmates
were slightly burned, but not seriously.
The property loss is estimated at &c.,
O0O The explosions were caused by the
breaking of a valve gate of the Fort
Pitt gas line.

HAD MURDERED THREE.
Martin Stickel, Hermit, Must Suffer
Death For His Crimes.

Kalama, Wash, Dec 2O-Martin
Stickel has been found guilty of murder
in the first degree for killing William b
Shanklin in November, 1899, at his home
near Kelso. Shanklin was shot while
eating his supper and the house was
burned by the murderer. The case was
shrouded in mystery and no clue to the
murderer could be obtained
On the evening of November %, 1900
Mr.. and Mrs Cornelius Knapp, an aged
couple living near Castle Rock, were
killed while at the supper table in the
same manner as Shanklin was one year
before. Tt was evident that the same
man had committed both crimes The
crime was traced to Martin Stickel who
lived on a scow near the mouth of the
CoWl1tz river and he was arrested. He
maintained his innocence until confront
ed with the fact that his watch and
keys had been identified as having be-
longed to Shanlxlin, the murdered man.
Then he made a confession of all three
murders When arraigned in the su-
perior court he pleaded not guilty. The
detenSe attempted to prove that the
man had inherited a criminal disposition
to the extent that he was not account
able for his actions. His mother testf-
fed that before his birth she was mad
at everybody and that the child was
born sick and was always unnatural
The jury was out but one hour The
prisoner was sentenced by Judge Miller
to be hanged on a date to be hereafter
fixed, not sooner than thirty nor later
than ninety days from date.

following the show for two weeks. Kibbe
represented himself to be a Harvard stu

of the theater, and has been refused en-
trance since. Last night he tried again,
disguised with a red beard He was rec

FEARFUL STORMS
Reported From All Sections of
British Coast.

London. Dec. -20.-Aerial depressions of
great size and depth are spreading over
Great Britain from the westward.
Storms are reported on all the coasts,
numbers of minor wrecks have oc-
CURED, and the southwest gale con-
Iinues with undated fury on the Irish
coast The White Star line steamer
Teutonic, which sailed at noon today
from Queenstown for New York, expe-
rienced the full force of the storm.
The Teutonic arrived at Queenstown
somewhat late, and after embarlxing
her passengers and 1872 sacks of mail,
she had some difficulty in clearing port.
The Teutonic passed the White Star line
steamer Cufic in tow at 1 a. m. off Tus-
kar light.
There is great uneasiness at Queens
town in regard to the Cross channel
steamers which left yesterday evening,
so violent is the storm. All arrivals at

A TRIP TO CUBA
Will Be Made by Archbishop Ireland
at McKinley's Request.

Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 2O.-Archbishop
Ireland. of st. Paul, is to make a trip
to the island of Cuba shortly after the
first of the year by commission from the
president, and will investigate certain
matters there with reference to the in
terests of the Roman Catholic church
in the island, and will make recommen-
dations to the president with reference
thereto. Bishop McGolrick has been in
vited by the archbishop to accompany
him
The mission of the archbishop is said
to be to investigate the questions in dis
pute respecting the allotment of church
property in the island. It is surmised
that the president believes the selection
of one of their own church men for the
mission will convince the members of
the church in the island of the fairness
of the intentions of the government of
this country in its treatment of them,
and the president at the same time has
confidence in the fairness Of the dis
tinguished American prelate.
When the archbishop leaves for Cuba
a government boat will be placed at his
disposal, and he will make a, tour of
the island studying the conditions and
all phases of the question which he is
asked to solve.
