TUNNEL ALL RIGHT.
Northwestern Officials Say Cascade

st Paul. MINI. March 2O.-The state
ment that the Great Northwestern is eX-
periencing difficulty from gas and heaI
in the new Cascade tunnel is denied by
Chief Engineer Stevens Mr. Stevel
was indignant when shown a copy OF the
alleged report from the tunnel
You may say that the statement Is 4
fake pure and simple he said 'There
is not a word Of truth in it. We have
had no difficulty whatever. as described
since the opening Of the tunnel. All
trains, both freight and passenger, are
moving through the tunnel on scheduled
time east and west without the least
discomfort or danger to either passsn-
gers or crew.
The report is absurd on the face Of it.
If there is, as stated, a strong current OF
air from west to east how can the tun-
mel remain intensely hot at all times as
is alleged2
"All of the officials of the road who
have had to do with the Cascade turnel
are more than pleased with the results
which have been attained a. they are far
better than we had anticipated"

+MR. CAPERS' APPOINTMENT.
1t Pieases white and Troubles the
Black Republicans of Carolina.

Charleston, S. c.. Oct. 6.--The an
nouncement sent out by Senator Han
ma Saturday night to the effect that
Capt. John G. Capers had been ap-
pointed to represent South Carolina on
the National Republican Executive
Committee caused rejoicing among the
white and CONSERVATION among the ne
gro Republicans of this city to-day.
Capt. Capers was recently appointed
United States district attorney for
South Carolina. He is the accepted
leader of the movement to build up a
new white Republican party in the
state When he sought tie place made
vacant by the death of Boss" z. A.
Webster. the negro Republicans made
vicious fight against him. A mulatto
named Deas announced himself as a
candidate, and was supported by the
old-line party men.
Capers was strongly Endorsed by
Senator John L. McLaurin and the APP
pointment is supposed to be strictly
in line with his wishes. 1t is declared
to be especially significant of the re-
ported determination of President
Roosevelt and the national leaders to
eliminate the negro from politics. Capt.
Capers said to-day that the appoint
ment was not a surprise to him, but
he did not know the announcement
was going to be made till Tuesday. he
declared that it was indicative of the
desire at Washington to see new
Republicanism in the South. A party
that would receive the allegiance OF
the thinking men of both races and all
| classes.

ment of Mr.. John G. Capers on the
Republican National Committee in
place of E. A. Webster. deceased, is a
severe blow Senator Hanna has given
the old-iine Republicans in South Car

tions of controlling the organization:
They must stand from under. Edmund

bers of the State Executive Commit
| tee. indorsing him for the position, and
he considered such Endorsement insured
his appointment. There Will be disap-
pointment and CONSERVATION in the

The appointment of the young us
trict attorney on. the National Com
mittee must also be considered dls-
tinct gain for McLaurin. Capers was
his man. and his appointment seems
to refute the declaration that Hanna
does not think we'll of the junior Sem
ator from South Carolina. 1t might
also indicate that President Roosevelt
has fallen in with MeLaurin's plans
in South Carolina.

NEGRO KILLED AT VALD0STA.
Officer Bud" Dampier Finishes Up a
Desperate in short Order.

Valdosta. Ga, Oct. 6.-The people on
Ashley street were terrorized last night
by negro desperate, who happened
to reach the end of his path before he
had gotten beyond the city limits. The
Negroes name was Frank Coleman, and
he came to the city yesterday from the
Cat Creek neighborhood. About 0
o'clock last night, in company with
another negro, he started for home.
Both of the negroes We're drinking and
as they drove along the street they
fired their pistol into the homes of
residents along the thoroughfare. The
first shot was fired into the county Jail.
and the next three shots were fired
into three different homes.
Officer BUD Dampier heard the
shots and he decided to arrest the Of
tenders. He jumped in buggy which
was in charge of negro boy and made
the boy whip up his horse until the
two negroes were passed. Then the
officer jumped from the buggy and
grabbed the bridal rein of Coleman's
horse as he drove along the street.
The negro, with Coleman, jumped out
and ran, yelling 1T was him: it wasn't
me-"
Coleman also jumped out but he hit
the ground firing at the officer. He
fired but one shot, however, as his
pistol was empty. He continued to
snap it and Officer Dampier shot him
three times. killing him instantly. The
officer did not know whether the pistol
was loaded or not.
The dead negro was brought back to
the city and coroner's inquest was
held. The verdict was that he came
to his death at the hands of an officer
of the law who acted in self-defense.
Officer Dampier is generally COM
mended for his bravery in trying to
overtake the desperado. and he is con-
graduated upon his escape from the
negroes bullets.
