A Republican was elected governor of
Kentucky, but through the decision of a
partisan tribunal young Mr.. Beckham, a
Democrat, was given the Office. Mr.. Beck
ham is a candidate this year, and, at a
rally at Bowling Green few days ago, he
inadvertently made an admission which
will embarrass him to explain away. EEL
low citizens and fellow Democrats" :" he
cried, 81 want you to come out in force
this year so as to overcome the Republican
majority Of last year"--and then the can
didate paused to hear his audience respond,

aghast at the break, while the anti-Goebel
Democrats and Republicans responded
with what the reporters of debates in Con.
gress call "derisive applause"

Potato Pingree, the demagogic governor
of Michigan, has been a strong supporter
of the voluntary arbitration law, which
was enacted in his state some time ago.
The shoe firm in which he is senior part
ner, had some trouble recently with the
workmen. The firm appealed TO the state
board of arbitration, which gave decision
in favor of the employees. Mr.. Pingree,
instead Of abiding by the judgment of the
law he had espoused when he expected il
to be applied to others, at once raised the
question of the constitutionalty of the ar
bitration act, and took the case to the
state supreme court, which has pronounced
the law valid

Montpelier, Oct. 4-The organization of
the senate has been completed today, the
new governor and lieutenant governor
have taken their seats and the retiring
message of Governor Smith and the inaug-
ural message of Governor Stickney have
been delivered. William w. Stickney is
now the chief executive and ward Curtis
Smith has joined the long list of honored
ex-governors of which the state boasts.
The principal features of the day have
been the two joint assemblies, this morn
ing to hear Governor Smith and this after
noon to listen to Governor Stickney. The
first occurred at 10:45 and was preceded
by only little unimportant business in the
House.
The second joint assembly was at
o'clock. The first business was the report
of the Joint committee to canvass the vote
for state officers. The report gave the fig
ures precisely as they were printed in The
Phoenix recently. Lieutenant-governol

to have such persons supported by the
towns where they belong.
This being the year when amendments
to the constitution can be instituted, Gov.
Stlckney recommends some changes in the
law in this respect. He calls attention to
the growing evil of frequent and needless
alterations in the laws, and says that much
of this could be avoided II the work Of
each session were taken promptly in hand
and attended TO at once without leaving
everything for a grand rush in the last few
DAYS.

Hurled to Death.
Minneapolis, Feb. 4. - Edward Ed
munds' life was battered out at the
foundry Of the Peteler Car works,
Thirtieth avenue southeast. No ont
knows exactly how the accident nap
.pened. The first intimation received
by other workmen a an agonized
yell from the upper floor Of the build
ing, followed by a horrid humping.
The men fastened to the place and
found Edmunds' body twirling about a
rapidly moving shaft. The engine was
stopped, but the man was already
dead. An oil car lying near by seemed
to indicate that he had been oiling the
bearings of the shaft, when his CLOTH
ing caught. Coroner Nelson, who ex-
amined the remains, found that the
body was frightfully bruised. The
clothing was nearly all torn of and
the lower extremities had been
whipped into jelly by contact with the
nearby timbers.

TERMINALS AT EVERETT.
Northern Pacific Turns Seattle Down
VERY Hard.

Very Hard.
New York, Feb. 4. - The Northern
Pacific has purchased from the Stand
ard Oil company its interests in the
western section of the Everett &
Monte Cristo railroad and its termin.
ais in Everett, Wash. The deal was
completed here. 1t is more important
than appears on the surface, because
the Northern Pacific will build up
Everett as its Puget sound headquar-
ters. It will come into direct compe-
tition at that point with the Great
Northern. The Everett e. Monte Girls
to western section) runs from Snoho-
mish to Everett, between eleven and
twelve miles. The terminals are ex.
tensive and adequate. The particular
reason why the Northern Pacific has
purchased the road is to secure more
tern inals for its growing Pacific coast
business. Tacoma proved too small
and Seattle was too exacting. The
latter city recently turned down the
Northern Pacifc's proposition to build
a large depot. The Northern Pacific
will handle the Standard OILS business
over the line tust purchased.

IT'S a very hard lot, I must say,

upon woman for her lack of the power
to choose and to plead! Know We not,
my lords of creation, that by far the
most frequently We are the chosen and
not the choosers? II she wills you to
come you come. II she wills you to
speak you speak, and, more than that,
she has the added power to send you
away empty if so her caprice decides.
This in the common life Of every
Day. What, then, might be expected
in the mystic time when love rules all?
At least, Valentine Sprite holds royal
sway. II she wills your missive flies to
her. II she Wills she even binds a
snowy message to the wings of Mer-
curry and bids him speed with it to her
chosen valentine, for who shall say her
nay? The Valentine Sprite mistakes
not-whom she chooses him she holds.
heretofore, my brothers, I have
warned you, though the warnings were
vain, but against this enchantress I
cannot bid you steel yourself, for the
soft witchery of her innocent smile has

you this-your struggles against her

flies from chamber to chamber and
touches sleeping eyes with the feather

his way before the white lids unclose

WARDS OF THE II

Annual increase of Population In
the Institutions.
st. Paul, Feb. 4.-Monthly statistics
Of the state institutions reported to the
board Of corrections and charities
never before compiled so promptly
show an increase in the insane hospi-
tails of los above last year, and in the
penal and other institutions Of lis.
For a long time the parole system re-
suited in q reduction Of the inmates in
the correctional institutions, which has
now been overcome by the fact that
the system has got into thorough ope-
ration. Taking into account the num-
Der of United States prisoners at Still
water, the real Increase OF the states
wards for this year is 22S, where last
year it was 237. The net increase is
between 3 and 4 per cent, which is
still less than the presumed increase
in population.

They say she is out of date in this
end of the nineteenth century, but that
81 wrong. She may be more coy. more
reticent, more elusive, but she is still
with us. On each st. Valentines day
she peeps from her easement window,
either literally or figuratively, with
dust as enticing a glance; her smiles
are no less alluring; ner signs create
4ully as much havoc. IL
Perhaps she no longer pins bay
leaves to her pillow to tempt fate, or
makes a pretense of drawing her lot
nom q bundle of names written upon
alps of material paper-all that was
but form at best. The Sprite of the
Valentine knew well who was her fate
without such expedients. And she

LABOR TROUBLE SUDDENLY ENDS.
Trainmen Accept Great Northern
WaGe ~Schedule.

Vra1nmen Accept Great Northern
Wage Schedule.
st. Paul, Feb. 4.-There will be no
strike On the Great Northern. The
traiEmen, it became known late yester.
day afternoon. accepted the wage
schedule offered by the company. The
elimination Of the disagreement Is
said to be unparalleled in the history
Of grievance adjustments. Both Cen
eral Superintendent Ward and mem
bers Of the grievance committee were
surprised at the result. During the
past two weeks the brakemen and
freight conductors (the only ones in
volved have been balloting on the
proposition to accept or reject the
wage schedule offered by the road.
These ballots have been received by
the committee, sealed, but accompa-
MED by letters %purporting to give the
total Of the vote cast. On the strength
of the letters the committee claimed
the decision vas almost unanimous for
rejection and a probable strike. The
sealed ballots were held until the ar.
rival Of w. G. Lee, vice grand master
of the National Order Of Railroad
trainmen, and e. e. Clark, grand mas
ter of the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors. These officials arrived yesterday
morning and Immediately proceeded to
canvass the ballots. There were less
than a dozen more than a majority
against the acceptance of the schedule.
whereas the constitution of the order
declares a majority Of two-thirds is
necessary. Then the letters accom-
panying the ballot packages were pro.
duced and compared. In some in
stances they tailed, but there were
many that differed. There was no go.
ing behind the returns. There was the
vote Of the trainmen and the conduc-
tors and it showed plainly that they
did not insist upon an increase in pay.
