Washington, May 1l.-Plans for the
Republican convention at Philadelphia
are rapidly taking shape. Just who
will place Mckinley in nomination has
not been definitely decided, but 1t will
not be Senator Depew, and is likely to
be Senator Foraker. Governor Roose-
Welt, it has been said will second the
nomination. Senator Lodge, who has
already been chosen to act as perman-
ent chairman of the convention, will
present the name Of Secretary Of the
Navy Long as New England's candi-
date for the presidency. This
fact alone seems to make certain Roo
sevelt's absolute refusal to accept the
second place on the ticket. for II he
were to be nominated at all he would
prefer that his old friend Senator Lodge
should make the speech.

NH. GEARS FRIENDS REJOICE.
Reelection of IOWa's stJunior,' senator
Gratifying Mt Washington.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The re-elec-
ton of Senator Gear is gratifying to
public men who know him well; and
particularly to the eminent gentlemen
who served with him in the national
house of representatives.
President Mckinley Saturday said to
a republican senator: ''My old friend
Gear seems to be kept in public life
as long as he lives and he is a good
public servant. l remember well the
work he did on the tariff bill which
was finally named after me, because I
was chairman of the ways and means
committee. He was always hard
working member of the committee and
of the house,"
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, said:
When Gear and were serving on the
ways and means committee, we worked
together on the sugar schedule, and
Gears work was mainly deserving of
commentator because he did so much
to secure cheap sugar for the plain
people"
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota,
Senator Carter, of Montana, Senator
Clark, of Wyoming, and others who
served with Gear in the house of rep
resentatives speak of him in like man
ner, and all are pleased to know that
he is TO serve another six years in the
senate.

Burned the Pest House.

Des Moines, JAM. 16.-The building
fixed upon by the board of health FRI
day for the occupancy by patients af-
fected with smallpox, shouldesthe dis
ease make it's appearance in the city,
was burned at $3.50 Saturday night.
Threats were freely made Saturday
that if the board attempted to make
the building a refuge for patients suf-
fering from the malady it would be
burned or blown up. The board OF
health, learning of these threats, and
being further pressed by residents,
rescinded the action of the. previous
day, but information of this seems not
to have percolated to the vicinity, and
Saturday night the building was set on
fire and wholly destroyed.

had been tried, no one denied that it
had most mischievous influence on
the financial morals of the mercantile
world.''
Mr.. Kimball quotes from recent
speech of Judge C. C. Kohlsaat, of llli-
nois, as follows:
The old bankruptcy law amounted
to no more than absolute confiscation.
The new law does away with this and
now every man burdened with debts
has a chance TO get on his feet again
and make a success of life. However
this law is needed only in cases of fl
nancial depression. In the Mosaic Pc
Rod every fifty years there was jubi-
lee in which debts We're Cancelled slaves
freed and all We're given opportunities
to get new starts. The present time
is such a Jubilee. But it would not
do to lose sense of honor and payment
OF debts by going into bankruptcy. 1t
is immoral for a land to have law
which would permit dishonest men to
get the better of their creditors. This
law may be all right for year. After
that time it should be repealed.'"
Continuing, Mr.. sKimball says: "rhe
most serious objection to the bank

ESCAPES BEING BURIED ALIVE.
Movement of an EyelId Releases a
Woman from AN Undertaker,s Care.

East ST. Louis. ILL.,, Jan. 16.-The
movement of an eye,id Sunday
morning saved Mrs. Christina Hirth
from horrible death by embalming
fluid, or that worse fate Of burial alive.
Yesterday morning she passed from a
three months illness into coma
which SO closely counterfeited death
that the county physician was deceived.
He felt the woman's pulse, listened for
heart beats, and could perceive no res
piration.
After these and other tests he pro-
nounced the woman dead, and the
county undertaken was summoned. He
brought with him the usual embalming
instruments, among them q cooling
board, upon which the woman was laid
in the, dead room of the county hospi-
tai The body had been cleansed,
weights were laid upon the eyes, and
the bleaching process was almost COM
pleted, when the weight on the wom-
ans right eye fell to the floor.
The undertaken had his back turned
at the time, and says that the noise
startled him. as he was entirely alone
with the corpse. He closed the lid of
the eye which had opened and replaced
the WelghIs5 Again 1T. fell to the floor.
This time the undertaken thought he
noticed twitching of the eyelid. He
felt the woman's hand. 1t was still
warm; but no HEART beat or breath
could be detected!s Then the most pow
erful test known to undertakers was
applied, with the result that the
woman gave Enthusiastically signs of
life. Ss
Assistance was summoned and the
supposed corpse was returned to her
bed, where restoratives were applied.
She regained thetuse of her body, but
was unable to talk and tell of her ex-
periences while in the trance and be-
ing prepared for burial.
Mrs. Hirth missed death by embalm-
ing by only five minutes, as the under
taker was on the point of injecting the
poisonous fluid when the weight fell
from her eve.

turers whose goods were excluded
from the benefits joined those whose
products were threatened by the COM
petition of low-rate French goods.
Those who have sounded sentiment
in congress touching the treaties claim
that it will be impossible to secure
enough votes to give the treaties the
sanction of both houses required by
the Dingley act under which they
were framed. 1t is said that even if
the senate committee on foreign rela-
lions reports the treaties favorably to
the senate, demand will be made for
their reference to the committee on
finance, and the opposition there is
insurmountable.
In the committee on ways and
means, to which the treaties will be
referred, under the provisions of the
Dingley act for concurrence by the
house, the opposition is strenuous.

ministers VIII Contest.

Des Moines, Jan. 1e-The Ministerial
association of this city has decided to
contest the saloon petition. The Off
.cial canvass of the. petition is to be
made in the auditors Office Wednesday
Jan. II. The ministers will have a
man there to watch and they will take
measures to defeat the saloon men
even tho the petition has the
required number Of names. At
torney E. d. Marshall will be in
charge of the investigation. If it is
learned that the names attached are
genuine it probably will be printed in
the newspapers. The ministers ex-
pece to get good many men to sign
a petition of remonstrance for fear OF
having their names printed in the pa
pers. The managers of the anti-saloon
campaign have reason to suspect that
there are some names on the consent
petition that ought not to be there.
