paragraph of the precept and the de-
partment's response thereto, such
correspondence is part Of the official
record.

New York, Aug. Illustrated over
his rejection by his sweetheart, and
not wishing to live to see her the wife
of another, John Hall of Trenton, N.
standing under her window sang the
song she liked best to hear him sing
and as he sang he slowly drew a
across his throat. Hall and
Miss Bertha Corbin have been lovers
for a year. He is an amateur perform
er and has a sweet voice of consider
able strength. It was Miss Corbin's
praise of his singing that led Hall to
try and become a professional singer.
During long moonlight walks together
in the beautiful suburbs of Trenton
he would sing to her sweet old-fash-
Toned love songs. A few days ago
they quarreled. Last night he tried
to move her to a reconciliation by
going to her window, as he had done
SO many times before and singing one
Of her %favorite songs. But she was
not ready to forgive. She raised the
window and interrupted him by cry
ing that if he did not go away she
would call the police. He hesitated,
began to sign again and stopped. Then
he walked a little way, sang n line
of Because l Love You, Dear" ard
fell on the ground. Alarmed she ran
out to him. He had cut his throat.
He will die.

the Sentinel from Salt Ste Marie,
Mich, says: A double tragedy was
enacted in a Canadian 500 home this

his wife and II year old step daughter
in a drunken fit of jealousy. The wife
died almost instantly and the girl who

some words with his wife, during
which he worked himself into a
frenzy. He seized his revolver and
fired at his wife. Her daughter was
clinging convulsively to her mothers
neck and received one of the bullets.
Schultz made his escape.

San Francisco, Aug. 7-Today's
feature in the local strike was the
walkout of 500 sand teamsters and all
the firemen of the Pacific Coast com
rany's vessels in port. By the strike
Of the sand teamsters the hauling Of
building material is brought to a
stand still, save in a few instances
where the contractors have their own
teams. The strike of the Pacific
Coast steamship firemen was unex-
pected by the steamship people, who
had made no preparations to obtain
non-union men. The striking firemen
say that after mature elaboration
they find it necessary to join their
fortunes with the other ~federationists
who are striking for the principle of

says that the Beers are as far from
defeat now apparently as a year ago,
and that they are confident of win

bitter at those aiding the Beers, and

IN IOWA REPUBLICAN STATE
CONVENTION.
Get EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
Goes Without Saying That Ticket
Nominated Will Be Elected
at Polls.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Aug. 7-Governor,
A. B. Cummins, Des Moines; ~lieuten-
ane-governor, John Herriott, Stuart;
judge Of the supreme court, S. M.
Weaver, Iowa Falls; railroad commits
sioner, E. F. Brown, Sheldon; super
intendent of public instruction, r. G..
Barrett, Usage.
With the above ticket the republi-
cans of Iowa will go into the next
state campaign.
Cummins swept the board. He and
his followers took everything that
they went for, and from the first rap
Of the gavel to the putting out of the
ligths there was no time when they
did not have the situation well in
hand. They had a hard fight before
the committee on credentials in the
effort to ave the delegations of Jack
son and Carroll counties, and came
form the committee room beaten men.
They expected to have six of eleven
LlCLlUCIS VI C1c COu1lllltCCS, UuI III CllC
morning caucus they fell one short
of that number and the vote of the
committee went against them in both
cases by vote Of five to six.
This defeat was of no particular
consequence, however, Is they had
the strength on the floor of the con-
%vention to seat their men whenever
they wished. They won their fight on
the first ballot taken in the conven-
tion. and from that time to the finish
there was never the slightest doubt of
the ultimate result.
The members of the steering COM
mittee who had decided to make their
fight with Hartman as their candi-
date, came into the convention in bad
political odor. The morning break of
the Herriott remnant had convinced
them that they had but little chance.
The first blow that they received was
when the Cummins men took control
of the committee on permanent organ
ization.
The steering committee had counted
with confidence on organizing the con-
vention, and had declared over and
over again that the best chance for
winning with Hartman lay in this di-
rection. When once they had the
organization, they said, they would
proceed to name the nominee. They
failed utterly to name their men in
the makeup of the regular organiza-
ton and when Permanent Chairman
Byers, who is a strong Cummins man,
took up the official gavel, his first
blow drove home the first nail in the
coffin of the committee. They had
previously been knocked out on the
report of the credentials committee
end from that time on it was simply
a question of waiting for the hearse
that would carry them eway.
Although Herriott and all his per-
sonal following denied up to the time
of the convention opening that he
would take anything on the ticket
less than first place, there is no doubt
now that the deal was fixed with the
Cummins men and the delivery of the
last ninth district delegates to Cum
minis was a step in the interchange of
votes.

From mere report that few cases

coast were supposed 10 be part Of the
cargo Of the British ship Ardnamur-
chan. the London salmon market has
riafn about a dOller case and the re-

Examiner
The Ardnamurchan left Fraser river
IN British Columbia. December 3. last,
laden with 5000 cases Of salmon from
the Fraser river canneries and bound
Tor Liverpool. At that time fierce
storms were swe sping the North Pacific
ana several weeks after her departure
several cases of salmon were picked up
among the nOtsam on the Oregon and
wa shingtOn beaches, between AlseA
ri"er and Willapa harbOr. These cases
were marked ~. r.. Liverpool the

al SIC ,0g) by Hogarth & Co., her Lon
don owners. Both cargo and ship We're
heavily insured and those who carried
big lines on the vessg, reinsured all
they could even at the enormous rate.
About a month after the first cases
were picked zip an officer on the steam
er Tees, that plies between the Gamer
les and the mouth Of the river and Van
couver, stated that after the Ardnamur-
chan had left her berth the Tees had
brought a belatsd load of salmon down
from the upper river. He said this was
placed aboard the departing ship and
az the matches were closed, was stored
In the deckhOuses and. in fact. every
available nook and corner above deck.
When the fact became known experts
declared the vessel might have struck
a storm and in that event the cases
washed ashore might have been jetti-
soned 20 relieve the ship Of top heav-
mess.
lAtS AheuTy was DoIhe Out oy thc AdSt
that no wreckage had floated ashore
with the salmon and the insurance men
breathed easier. Then one Of the Vic
toria owners Of the cargo asserted that
the cases found had been stored in the
bottom OF the ship. but despite this the
rate of reinsurance dropped TO 80 per
cent. and the London salmon market
fell perceptibly.
The ship Is not expected to arrive for
a month yet. and many believe the re-
ports OF the alleged wreck Of the Ard
namurchan were circulated by parties
interested in raising the London price
OF salmon.
