Georgetown. KY. Aug. 6.-In the
trial of Ex-Secretary OF State Powers
for alleged completely in the Goebel
murder conspiracy r. C. Blanchford
testified that he was present at the
conference in Frankfort at which Gull
ton presided. Sheriff Burton of

speech, saying "the only way to stop
the contest was to explode cartridges
in the neighborhood of the Capitol
hotel" and was rebuked by Powe.s.
E. R. Bullock of Lexington said he
was in the adjutant generals building
when the shooting occurred. He
came out and saw Jack Chinu walking
rapidly toward the state house. A
man was standing behind the fountain
in STOPPING position. The witness
couldn't tell whether he was white or
black and did not know what became
of him.
Stewart Stone, Governor Taylor's
stenographer, testified that he was iii
the governors room when the shoot
ing occurred. When they heard what
had happened Taylor expressed the
fear that all the occupants of the ex-
ecutive building would be mobbed
They broke into the Office of the sec
retary of state to get some guns to
protect themselves with. Taylor tolt!

IMPORTANT ISSUE RAISED.
Express Company Fined for Illegal
Violation Of Iowa Prohibition Laws.

Violation Of Iowa Prohibition Laws.
Newton Aug. 6.-For some weeks
agents of the anti-saloon league have
been quietly securing evidence against
local violators of the liquor laws, and
as result of their work have COM
menced suits against a number Of
druggists, restaurant keepers and 9TH
ers in Newton and adjacent towns.
Among the suits commenced was one
against the Adams Express company,
charging it with violating the prohib-
itory law by bringing liquor into the
state cash on delivery.
The league made the claim that a
sale of liquor made on an order from
Iowa, filled by nonresident dealer,
and completed by delivering to the
Iowa customer at point in the state,
cash on delivery, is sale within this
state and falls under the criminal laws.
This company contended that such a
transaction is a foreign sale, and not
within the jurisdiction ofthe Iowa law
and fully protected by the Interstate
commerce clause of the constitution.
The case against the express com
pany was tried before Judge Clements
and he found the company guilty and
imposed fine of $500. The company
will appeal. The case is important, as
it will be of statewide influence

DEATH TO ENeLAND's QUEEN
Gigantic Anarchist Plot Said to Have
Been Discovered,

London, Aug. 6.-Every member of
England's royal family has been mark
ed for death by anarchists.
This much of gigantic plot was
disclosed by Scotland Yard officials
yesterday. They have received a let
ter warning them of the plot and the
anarchists who have been chosen to
perform the work.
According to the letter, Queen Vic
toria and the prince of Wales are the
first on the death list. Then follow
other members of the royal family.
Nobody of the Guelph family is to
escape the hatred of the anarchists.
AS result of the warning every
precaution possible to protect the
marked persons has been taken Dy
the Scotland yard.
The queen has beea advised to re.
maisi in. her palace and avoid riding
in her carriage in public places. This
she has promised to do, for she has
had experience with would-be assas-
sins and is quite naturally afraid.
Since the murder Of Humbert and
the attempt on the shah, her majesty
has been in a continuous state of ..igh
nervousness. Her physician has been
in almost hourly attendance upon her.

STATE PRINTER is HIT.
Attorney General Remley Makes
Sweeping Decision.

Des Mofnes, Aug. 6.-Attorney Cen
eral Remley handed down to the exec
utiye council an opinion respecting
the duties of the state printer and
holding that the state must have all
its blanks and blank books and most
OF its general job work done by con-
tract on the competitive bid plan. 1t

take from the state printer third o
the most profitable of his state busi-
ness. According to Attorney General
Remley's Interpretation of the law, the
state can only have printing done by
the state printer, as follows: For
laws, Journals and reports. letter

holds that the state must buy by con-
tract on competitive bids all blanks,
blank books, record books and all
mat class of work which is the most
profitable to the state printer.

Search of Parents.
Burlington, Aug. 6.-The publication
in the Times-Herald Saturday of st.
Louis dispatch telling of the long and
patient search of Pittsburg couple
for missing 1S-year-old son may be
the means of furnishing happy Sc
quel to the story. 1t was recounted
that Christopher and Margaret O'Niel
and five children were travelling in
two wagons in search of the boy
Charles, who had left his home over a
year ago. The story was seen by
George H. Seifkin, of Danville, Iowa,
who has written that he thinks the
missing boy took supper with him
Friday evening, August 5. The boy
gave his name as Charles, and said
he left his home in Pittsburg over a
year ago, that he was homesick, but
had no means of going back. He
wrote his father but received no re-
ply. He went on to Ottumwa, hoping
to earn enough money to pay his ex-
penses to his home. (Police officers
in this city have heard nothing OF
the youth mentioned in the above.

TO be EIectrocuted.

Sing Sing, N. Y, Aug. O. Every
thing is in readiness for the electrocu-
tion OF Aaron Hall. the slayer of Ma
mie Brannigan, today. Hall was in
high spirits when visited by priest
yesterday and he evidently does not
mind the fate which awaits him.
Hall killed Miss Brannigan because
she would not marry him, her reason
being that Hall was a Hebrew. Hall
killed his victim while she was work
ing in store. When the case came to
trial Hall made the attempt to play the
part of morphine f1end but his ruse
did not succeed. His trial was one of
the shortest on record, he being con
yicted in thirty-siX hours after the
proceedings were begun.

fined in the county jail here charged
with bigamy by his alleged son, has
been released and has returned home
with the woman whose husband he has
all along claimed to be. 1t seems that
no one appeared to continue the case
against Rev. Mr.. Queen and it begins
to look like somebody had either been
mistaken in their man or unsuccessful
in carrying out their plan, ill-conceiyed
or otherwise. The woman in the case
has never appeared to substantiate
her claims and the son is reported to
have left for parts unknoawn.

purpose of making preliminary ar
rangements for the same. Colonel
Caughlan further stated that it is the
intention of the commanding officers
of the regiment to have the camp all
prepared upon the arrival of the first
companies. The idea in abolishing
the work of preparing camp is that it
will give the boys more time to devote
to other regimental matters which
will be of greater benefit than the
knowledge of how to prepare camp.
The camp will be all ready to enter
Immediately after the parade Wednes-

camp will be supper Wednesday even

TORCH USED IN IOWA TOWN.
Incendiaries Start Eight Fires in Fort
DODGE and Alarm Citizens.

Fort, Dodge, August A plot to
burn all the barns in Fort Dodge seems
to be in progress of execution here.
Eight have been fired within the last
twenty-four hours. All of them have
been the property of prominent people.
Congressman J. P. Delivers barn
was the first to be fired. The other
fires during the day We're at property
of S. T. Meservey, w. l.. Sperry, e..
E. Prussia, j. NJ. Schaupp, Alfred Flint
and George Hopper. ALI of these
barns are located in the. center and
most populous part of the city.
The theory is that the work is being
done by tramps, who are taking this
method of getting even for inunici'
discipline. A large force of extra po-
lice in citizens clothes has been sworn
in and will patrol during the night.

Fay, one of Denver's ~ and best
known citizens, but a. late had
lived at Anaheim, Cal. Sc he had
the courage to defend a woman in an
adjoining berth against the ruffians'
threats. The crime was committed
near Hugo, Colo.
The monetary profit of the escapade
to the robbers will probably not ex-
ceed 5000, and 1T is probable they may
suffer the wrath of Lincoln county
If they are captured, for an infuriated
populace is said to be gathering in UP
on them. They escaped at Hugo, but
a number of detectives and the sher-
iff were not long afterwards on the
ground to institute a systematic pur-
suit.
The Union Pacific promptly ported
a reward of $1,000 each for the cap
ture of the two bandits.
On the train that left Denver at
1885 o'clock this morning Superinten-
dent ]. G. Fraser, of private detec-
tive bureau, with three operatives,
Deputy Sheriff Delue and Union Pa
cific Detectives J. w. Penrose and U.

Conductor Faces Revolver.
The two men boarded the Union Pa
cific passenger at Liman Junction.
They were told by conductor d. ,B.
Smith of the rear Pullman, to get off
at the next stop. Smith was soon az
ter held UP with revolver and the
men set about their work. The taller
Of the two carried a sack for the val
uables, while the shorter one preced-
ed him with weapon and intimidated
the aroused passengers one at time.
They got well along without raising
any disturbance, it is said, until they
reached the berth of Mrs. w. D. Har-
ger. of Denver. Mr.. Fay heard the
disturbance that ensued. The first
robber was holding revolver at the
woman's head and demanding her
money. Mr.. Fay quickly reached into
his berth and drew forth his own re-
volver.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Fay was count
ed crack shot his bullet went wide
and the bandit turned upon him and
fired two shots in quick succession.
The first missed Mr.. Fay, but the sec
ond struck him in the mouth and
emerged from the back of his head,
killing him instantly. He fell back
ward into his berth, his feet hanging
out upon the floor.

To Knock Out Bucket Shops.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-By an almost
unanimous vote the Chicago Board of
Trade resolved to restrict the posting
of grain quotations to intervals of five
minutes, instead of sending them con-
tinuously, as at present. This, it is
believed, will mako it impossible for
the bucket shops to continue business.
