the LIBERAL party with Joseph Chamber
lain in opposition to home rule, bur al
ways remained on cordial terms with
Mr.. Gladstone. He was then the Mar
quis of Harrington, not becoming Duke
of Devonshire until the death of his
father in 1891.
The Duke is now 81. Plainness is the
keynote of his life. Personally he is
not attractive His face is heavy, his
frame lacks grace, and he has no taste
for dress. In the House of Lords he sits
with his hat tilted over his eyebrows.
His body is buried in long. dark-col-
ored coat with deep pockets. His hair
and beard have grown entirely gray.
He always speaks from notes and
makes no attempt at oratory, but de-
ponds upon the common sense and can
dor of his expressions.
In 1892 the Duke married a woman
who was already duchess-the widow
of the Duke of Manchester. The bride
and her husband had been firm friends
for over thirty years, and it was even
said that they had been engaged before
the marriage to Manchester, but this
has been denied with positiveness. Her
first union had been most romantic.
The Duke of Manchester travelling in
France, saw her In an opera box in
Nice, fell in love with her ON the spot,
was introduced, and at once began q
successful eourtship. She was then

SIX KILLED In WRECK
FORTY PASSENGERS HURT NEAR
GREEN BAY. WIS.
Wisconsin Singers Crushed to Death
or Injured Through an Excursion
Train Running Into a Freight
Coaches Smashed and Burned.

An excursion train carrying 6UO mem
bers of the Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Nee
nah and Menasha singing societies Of, the
sangerfest at Green Bay, Wis. was
wrecked near Depere at 1915 O'Clock
Sunday. Six persons were instantly kill
ed, FIVE fatally wounded and forty others
injured. The wreck occurred at Donald's
curve, one and one-half miles from De-
pere, the excursion train overtaking
double header freight. The engine, bag
gage car and two smoking cars OF the
passenger train were completely crushed.
To add to the horror the wreck caught
fire and many of the injured were burned
before they could be rescued
At the time of the collision the excur-
sion train was running at a fairly aver
age speed, and is said TO have been ten
minutes ahead of time. The engineer,
fireman and occupants of the baggage
car saved themselves by jumping, as did
the members of the freight train crew
in the caboose. The passengers had no
warning.
The jolly singers in the smoking car
were joining in chorus just as the crash
came. The song came to an abrupt stop
and was followed an instant later by the
shrieks and groans of the injured. The
uninjured men in the cars farther back
on the train now rushed to the rescue and
dragged their comrades from the wreck.
But so rapidly did the flames advance
that it was necessary in one instance to
chop off the arm of a young man to pre-
vent his body from being burned The
dead and injured were taken to Depere,
where the school house was turned into a
hospital Some of the injured were taken
later to the General and st. Vincent hos
pitfalls in Green Bay.

the honest and law-abiding element of
citizenship all over the country looks to
the Democratic party to lead the way
to the establishment of government
upon sound basis again. The McKin-
ley administration has shown such an
evident desire to get rid of constitu-
tional restraint, both at home and
abroad, that the people are alarmed.
The average citizen is not blinded by
the glamor of Imperialism and mill
tarism, nor is he enthusiastic about
trust prosperity. The average citizen
realizes that he has to foot the bills
for the imDerialistic extravaganza and
trust prosperity neither warns him nor
feeds him nor clothes him. When it is
conceded in Washington that the drift
of popular sentiment is toward the
Democratic party as the party of safe
ty and law and order. it is an indication
of how strong must be the sentiment in
other parts of the country. The admin
istration is thoroughly frightened. but
still tries to soothe itself by assuring
the people that it will do better IL 1t is
only gwen another trial.

National Issues,

In 1896 Hanna made up his mind that
the tariff must be the great issue of the
campaign, and the Republican presses
We're kept busy turning out education
al tracts on the tariff for use during
the political fight But the people didn't
consider the tariff its chief issue by
any means, and the literature on that
subject had to be cast aside and a new
line of education" had to be taken up
on the money question.
This year Hanna wants the money
question to be the chief issue because
he knows that that question has been
practically settled by Congress for the
next four years and he wants to direct
attention from Imperialism, trusts and
militarism. But it looks as though
Hanna would again be disappointed
While the money question is important,
the people are thinking more to-day

WHEAT PRICES BOOM.

Heavy Demand for hecerea1 by Shorts

Continue Rad-Predictions that the
Price Will Reach 81.

Wheat advanced with giant strides on
the grain exchanges of the country We'd
nesday. On the Chicago Board of Trade
prices advanced nearly cents, and the
July delivery touched the high point at
the close, S1$s cents, and later sold up to
So cents. The close showed jump of 16
cents in two weeks. AT Minneapolis
prices advanced 4s4 cents. There was
only SSa cents between prices in Chicago
and IN Liverpool, while the cost of ship
ping and selling is 10 cents. Frantic ef'
forts on the part of those who were short
to purchase the advancing cereal and a
marked increase in the number of buying
orders received from the country were
phases of Board of Trade dealings.
There has been no such excitement on
the Board of Trade in ten years, says a
dispatch The pit was the scene of a
struggling mass of shouting humanity
yesterday, so crowded that it was difficult
to get in. 1t became so large market
that individual operations cut no figure,
and the big traders were lost sight of.
Hot, dry weather in the Northwest,
temperatures in some places being report
ed at 100, is seriously affecting the spring
wheat crop in the Dakotas and Mime

weeks ago estimated the yield of the

they are talking 81 wheat with much un-
concern. Minneapolis and Duluth ex.
changes experienced a rising market and
the daily crop reports from the Dakotas
and Minnesota showed that the condi.
tons were worse even than former bulle-
tins had reported. Correspondents in
those regions said that instead of half q
crop there was strong probability that
the yield would be less than one-third.
Flour felt the influence of the advance
in wheat and sold in Chicago at $4.40 a
barrel. Conservative men who have
studied the crop bulletins carefully did
not hesitate to say that they would not
be surprised to soon see dollar Wheat.
