the law forbidding tobacco dates from

intended to prevent priests from

taken too literally, and nowadays even

repeated in his state.
Senator McLaurin said the move
ment against him in the democratic
! party was one to keep alive section
alism. Speaking of his views on the
tariff, he said that Samuel J. Randall
was protectionist; Hancock said
the tariff was a local issue. and David
b. Hill opposed the income tax, but
none of them had been read out of
the democratic party.
Jones and TiIIman Reply.
Senator Jones (Ark.) denied some of
the statements made BY Senator Me-
Laurin, especially so far as-it indicat-
ed that he (Jones) had any Interior mo-
| tiyes in any action he took regarding
Senator McLaurin's connection with
the democratic party.
Senator Tillman replied to Senator
McLarin, denying there was a con-
spiracv against him, Senator Tillman
referred 10 the designations of the
senator's from South Carolina and
their subsequent withdrawal.
Senator Hoar referred to this fact
and said that he did not understand
how designations could be withdrawn.
Again Offer to Resign.
Senator Tillman said he would be
glad to have the judiciary committee
investigate the matter and the senate
declare both seats from South Caro-
lima vacant, so we could wash our
dirty linen elsewhere"
Senator McLaurin said he would
join with Senator Tillman in having
the seats declared vacant and meet
him anywhere.

Senator Tillman declared that he did

'new-fangled issues"
Senator Hoar again asserted that
upon the statement of the senator's
from South Carolina he did not believe
either of them were entitled to seats
on the floor.
Senator Tillman said he was glad to
find his own opinion backed up by the
distinguished chairman of the judi
ciary committee. He did not believe
the governor had anything to do with
the matter and could not refuse to ac-

WOLFE HAD ANOTHER SECRET.
Divorced Wife of the Shoe Trust Presi-

OenS M0CFto8 t%9dtHs
Columbus, o., Oct. 16.-Another and
perhaps the final chapter in the dra-
matte life of Robert +. Wolfe, president
OF Wolfe Brothers Shoe Company, of
this city, and of the national shoe trust,
was disclosed to the public today. sun
day Mr.. Wolfe freed himself from a
horde OF blackmailers who had been
bounding him for twenty years by pub
fishing a statement in which he re-
viewed the circumstances of his i'm
prisonment during his youth in IN, Indi-
ana penitentiary.
Today the secret marriage Of his
divorced wife was announced for the
first time. Ten years ago, while Mr..
Wolfe was comparatively poor man
and struggling to overcome the odium
OF his prison record, he met Ada Thurs
ton. and after courtship of several
months they were married. Mr..
wolfe's good fortune began to come
them and he lavished everything that
money could buy upon her. But her
love had cooled and quarrels were fre-
quent. For seven years they lived in
this way and then she fled petition
for divorce. He did not contest and
the decree was granted on the general
charge of neglect Of duty. He gave her
the homestead and a large sum of
money, sufficient to keep her in lux
ury for the rest Of her life. That was
last spring.
Mrs. Wolfe is handsome brunette
OF less than 80 years. Not long ago she
met Charles Stettson. OF this city,
youth ten years her junior. Ten days
ago she accompanied him to Coving-
ton. XIV. and they were married.

There was objection to the testimony in
regard to the three hairs found on the
ak on the morning following the crime,
but the state contends that the hairs
were kept by the county attorney and
turned over to the expert for eXamina-
tion, and were sufficiently identified.
The chief point in the controversy over
this case relates to the testimony in re-
gard to quarrels between Mr.. and Mrs.
Hossack, but the state contends that 1t

serious quarrels between them. begin
ming about seven years ago and ending
about year before the crime was COM

to the case at much more than usual
length, and makes a clear argument in
favor of sustaining the verdict of con-
viction under which Mrs. Hossack is
serving a life sentence.

Mason gave brief account Of the
battle of July 8. but nothing new of
Importance was brought out. He said
he had not discussed the question of

served as Schley's signal officer, was

He slipped away from them and in q
few minutes was dead, by his own
hand. 1t was disclosed afterward that
he had secured s125,ooo on fraudulent
mortgages. One of these, held by a
Chicago man, had been made out on
land actually owned by Lund. but in
the name of fictitious person and
Lund afterward sold the land. The
court held that the mortgage was good
as between Lund and the mortgager,
but as it could not legally be filed it
was not notice to other persons. But
the men who purchased the land of
Luna did not prove they were bona fide
purchasers and innocent. so that the
holder Of the mortgage is able to fore
close on the land. 1t is only one of
many cases growing out of the Lund
frauds.

Iowa. Michigan Foot Ball Game There
5 Thanksgiving Day.
Chicago, Oct. 16.-Managers Fred Me-
Cutcheon, of Iowa, and Charles Baird,
OF Michigan, yesterday closed contract
with President Hart, of the Chicago
club, for the use of the West Side base
ball park for the Iowa-Michigan game
en- Thanksgiving day. The contest will
be played in the morning, probably at II
o'clock.
The game had been scheduled for Chi-
cago since the agreement to play was
first reached, but the choice of location
rested between the West Side and CO.
miskey's park. The former was chosen
because it is farther frcm Marshall
Field, where Chicago and Wisconsin
clay in the afternoon, and because Of
the large receipts, more than $1,000.
realized at the Wisconsin, Michigan
game there in '99. Hart's compensation
is supposed to be the same as in '99, 20
per cent of the gross receipts.
Manager McCutcheon admits that the
early season work of the Hawkeyes is
rot as good this year as that of the
crack '99 and 1900 elevens, the latter OF
which beat both Chicago and Michigan,
but is hopeful of the outcome of the
three big games scheduled for this sea-
son. These are Illinois, Minnesota and
Michigan.
Excursions to the Thanksgiving day
contest will be run from both Iowa City
and Ann Arbor. McCutcheon says at
least 1000 Hawkeyes will make the trip,
and Baird says Michigan will send a
good delegation. McCutcheon returned
10 Iowa City last night.
