Everybody should keep hands off in the in
terest Of q selection OF man who should
another crisis come, will come fully up to
the demands of the public.
Mr.. Bixby says that he has made no
recommendations, and shall not make any.
Several men have asked him to write the
governor in their behalf, but he has de-
clined.
Somsbody in the third district has been
having some fun by talking Mr.. Bixby as
candidate for congress next year. AS a
joke, this is all right, but the gentleman
from Muskogee hopes nobody is taking 1t
seriously. He says he does not want to
go to congress, and would not accept q
nomination, If offered.
Generally speaking, the republican
outlook in Minnesota seldom has been bet
ter than 1t now Is, in Mr.. Bixby's opinion
The legislature made a great party rec
ord last winter, and was one of the very
best in the history of the state. The gov
ernor is wearing well, and will be stronger
and stronger with the people as he nears
the end Of his term. The party Is united
and ready for a great contest in the off
year. There is no reason why there
should not be another old time republican
victory. Mr.. Bixby believes there will be
one 1t is quite likely that he will not
be able to give any of his time next year
to the campaign. Last year, against his
business judgment, he gave up his work
in the Indian Territory and spent several
months in Minnesota as head of the Van
SAINT campaign committee. The time he
lost from his work was important. 1t will
be out of the question for him to take an
other long vacation next year. He did
not ask me to say this for him in the in
terview, but I put 1t in by way of timely
warning to those who may be expecting

During the last few minutes of sailing Con-

very much higher than the other two.
Ills p. m.-The yachts are now standing to-
ward Point Judith, on the port tack, Con-
stitution apparently leading Columbia over
mile. while the latter boat is about half
mile ahead of Independence. The wind Is

1:40 p. m.-The wind has increased to over
eight knots an hour and both the lndepend-

A A1wo-FoId Mystery Develops as the
Result of a Sudden Death
on Saturday Night.
The Dead Man Wore Conway's

to Have Disappeared.

however, convinced him that the dead
man was not his brother.
The body was removed to the morgues
where the brother called again, but
could give no other information con-
cerning it. Later it was taken to the
undertaking rooms Of the Craig company.
whence it was taken to the burial ground
this afternoon. During the forenoon
score or more of conductors, brakemen
and enginemen from the Milwaukee
road called and viewed the remains.
Some were quite certain that the body
was that of the conductor, Conway, but
those admitted that they had never no.
ticed whether there Wre any fingers miss
ing.
Upon a closer examination of the body,
tattoo mark, the letters 'FW. w. A.,
was found on the upper arm. 1t is rea-
sonably certain that these letters are the
initials Of his name. The brother has been
busy since yesterday morning. when he
learned of the death, trying to locate the
conductor, but so far has been unable to
do so. One Of the trainmen wh1 visited
the undertaking rooms this morning had
seen Conway with the unknown man sew
eral days ago. Conway had not been work.
ing for the company for about four N onths.
The unknown man was, apparently, a
tramp, or ''vag" With the exception of
the god oclothes he wore, which were iden-
titled as Conway's, there was nothing to
indicate that he was anything else.
P. ]. Conway, who has mysteriously
disappeared, was well known railroad
man. For many years he ran out Of the
twin cities, but at the time he resigned
his position as conductor, he was on
run on the Milwaukee between Lar
Crosse and Superior. He has a family in
Lacrosse.

knew Conway several years ago. They
were on the same train crew on the Wis
consin Central, McAlligat as fireman and
Conway as brakeman. Passing under a
bridge near Lake City at one time, Con
way was struck in the head by the ov err
hanging beams and was knocked unco n
scious. He fell to the car and wou ID

caught him. There was an ugly cut on
the top of the head, which left scar that
he could never outgrow. The dead man
of to-day had no such scar.

DIVORCE FOR MERRIAMS
1owA's STATE AUDITOR INVOLVED
Property Settled Outside the
Courts.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, July 8-Auditor of
State Frank F. Merriam has begun suit
in the district court of Polk county against
his wife, charging desertion and asking
for divorce. 1t is the understanding
the decree will be granted by Judge
Holmes to-day, the details of the legal
separation and the disposition of the
property having been settled out of court.
Mrs. Merriam will retain the custody of
the only child, boy, and will receive
monthly allowance from the husband for
herself and son.
The suit for divorce is the outcome of
sensational troubles, and while divorce
proceedings have been expected, 1t was
generally supposed Mrs. Merriam would
be the aggressor. They have been sep
arated for some months. Last spring Au-
ditor Merriam and his chief clerk. Ed
ward L. Camp, engaged in a fist fight at
the Equitable building, the difficulty
arising over the alleged attentions Mer-
riam was paying Mrs. Camp and the hus-
band visiting the auditors apartments in
the building while Mrs. Camp was there
1t is said, however, this was not the
direct cause for the divorce, and that
Merriam and his wife were not living to-
gether then.s

board of pardons late this afternoon. The
three members of the board preserve a
rigid watch on their lips, and will give no
intimation of what they purpose to do
The feeling about the capitol is, how
ever, that the Youngers will have to wait
while longer
Members of the board were very much
disguised with the action of the legisla-
ture last winter. The majority of the
house members were opposed to the
Youngers, but lodged the responsibility
by tacking the amendment on the Deming
bill requiring the unanimous consent of
the board of pardons. They counted on
the well known opposition Of Chief Justice
Start, and one of them went so far as to
tell the chief justice that they expected
him to block the way. The chief Justice,
it is said, was highly indignant and de-
nounced the member. as coward for
shifting the responsibility in such a way.
The act is believed to be invalid, and
was SO declared by Attorney General
Douglas in an opinion furnished Gov
ernor Van SAINT while the bill was in his
hands. Chief Justice Start has only to
rest on that opinion, and it is predicted
that he will.
Governor Van SAINT received letter this
morning from Former Governor w. J.
Stone, of Missouri, and one signed by
twenty business men of Sedalia Mo, urg-
ing the parole.
The YOungers Hope.
The Younger brothers have been look
ing forward to this day with mingled hope
and fear. So often disappoited. thew
hardly dare expect release at the hands of
the board of pardons, but the parole
proposition is somewhat different from an
absolute pardon, heretofore urged. and
they have been building up hope on that
ground.
SAID Cole Younger yesterday:
After twenty-five years it looks as though
there may be a rift in the cloud that has
oversnadowed our unfortunate and luckless
lives, and oh, what glorious awakening
this break of new day would be-

and with regard to our possible parole, /

NoA AAASN "AoI " say
One thing ! would like to have you print
is that we desire to thank our friends in
Minnesota who have taken such an active
interest in our welfare

who shot Jim, and who shot at me. and who
signed our petition for pardon; Captain G.

In event of parole we have no plans In

hands of the state agent and the warden,
and we are informed by both gentlemen that
we will find plenty of work without delay.
