eye was copy of a newspaper contain

by Staples pO70"
calling the Duluth News Tribune m

ing:
You may state for me and make
1t as emphatic as possible that no
acton has ever been taken by the pres
ent members of the railroad and ware

either as regards appointments or
otherwise, when the vote was not unani-
nous, and L repudiate the statements Of
the Journal l deny the statement that
Mr.. Staples left the office and refused
to vote on any proposition before the

me nor Mills and is simply straining it,

COL. OLCOTT TO LECTURE
FOUNDER OFF PHILOSOPHICAL So
CIETY WILL SPEAK ON d.
VINE HEALING

Col. Henry Steel Olcott, president and
founder of the Theosophical society will
arrive in the city this morning. Tonight
ne VIII speak at Unity church, his sub
Ject being Divine Healing To this
lecture the public is invited. Col. OF
colts other lectures will be before the
members Of the society living in this
city
Col Olcott is in many respects a re-
markable character. He first won prom
lnence throughout the country In connec-
ton with the movement in scientific agr;-
culture. After serving as associate
agricultural editor of the New York
Tribune and reporting upon agricultural
schools in Europe, Mr.. Olcott at the out
break Of the war went with the Burnside
expedition to North Carolina He re-
NAMED at the seat of war, going through
the whole Of the North Carolina cam
patgn, until he contracted a disease
which necessitated his return to the
North. He later served Secretary Stan
ton in conducting inquiries into suspected
frauds on the government at the muster
ing and disbursing Office In New York.
In 1874 Col. Olcott met the late Mime.
Blavatsky and became deeply interested
in the problems of Eastern occult science
and philosophy. Together they formed
the Theosophical society, and in 1878, with
Nine. Blavatsl1y, he transferred his resi-
dence to India, where he has lived ever
since. They were untiring in their eff
forts to build up the society and it grad
ually grew to be large and influential Up
to a year ago charters had been issued
for $40 branch societies in all parts Of
the world. For the past two years Col.
Olcott has been making an inspection
tour among the societies of the world.
Although seventy-one years old he enjoys
the constitutional vigor of a young man
and his friends count upon his living
many years more to go with the work
he has so successfully started.

Although it is still claimed by the rail-
roads that the rates for the Woodmen
national convention are definitely fixed,
indications are that the balance of the
roads in the Western Passenger asso-
citation will meet the fiat rate of one fare
which has been made by the Chicago,
Milwaukee &, st. Paul. The Central Pas
senger association has come down a peg
within the last week by giving one
fare rate plus 81, and abolishing the GER
tificate plan and a fare and a third rate.
This action is quite certain to be fol-
lowed b the Grand Trunk and the New
England association. The Diamond 10
packet line has made low round-trip
rates. The Northern Pacific offers an
excursion after the adjournment Of the
convention TO the Yellowstone Park for

REPUBLICANS LAY WIRES
WANT PRESIDENCY OF CITY COIN
GIL, MAYOR OF CITY AND
OTHER THINGS
BENSON HAS ASPIRATIONS
Col. Kiefer Is Willing to Serve
City Again as Chief Elk
ecutive and So Are
Others

Republican city lawmakers, their hopes
inflated by rumOrs of desertion from the
ranks of the Democratic majority in the
common council, are open in their dec a
ration that the coming month will see
change in the politics of the executive
of that body.
OF the nine Republicans that compose
the Republican element of the council
each has q secret laundering for the job.
and were a secret ballot taken it is
probable that each man would vote for
himself. Assemblyman Benson is an
avowed candidate, Maj Denny is being
doomed and Assemblymen Wheeler,
Warner and Alderman Knauft are
spoken of as dark horses.
Assemblyman Dix, who. it is reported
will resign when the annual election
comes up, is credited with a design to
hold to his Job, and this fact may cause
complete demolition of plans. In addi-
ton to acting as clerk of the municipal
court, his friends say he could do the
honors of president Of the council and
acting mayor -creditably, and in view Of
this fact he may take it upon himself
to stay with his job and enter the con-
test
With detection Of two from the Dem
ocratic majority, the Republicans might
carry out their cherished plan Of gain
ing control and electing the president
OuI ea'S LllIS ubASCLlOn Is not likely 10
mater1alfze it is hard to figure cut Just
what the Republicans base their hopes
on. One vote less on the Democratic side
of the house would simply cause a dead
lock and compel the retention Of Presi-
dent Schiffmann. which it is generally
conceded will be the case
WOULD-BE MAYORS.
While it is little early to talk Of
mayoralty candidates, and rather uncer-
tain to mention probable winners. in view
OF the fact that the new primary law
will supersede the time honored conven-
ton, yet in Republican circles the head
OF the ticket is at present receiving no
little problematical consideration.
by many Col. Keifer is looked upon as
Moses that will lead the way to the
land Moving with milk and honey. In a.
convention packed with the BOYS who
in the past have received crumbs at the
masters table, the colonel might be
called winner, but with a primary sur
rounded with legal enactments that pro-
h1bit indiscriminate hobnobbing with the
boys his fate might lie different The
colonel however. is credited with an n
satlate desire to lead the clans to victory

KILLED BY ACCIDENT.
Terrible Disaster Occurs In Ohio
Steel Plant

YOUNGSTOWN, o., May 1.-TWO men
are dead and three are expected to
die as the result of an accident in the
bessener department of the National
Steel company's plant today. The ac-
cident was caused by the cover Of a
mammoth converter becoming detached
and allowing thirteen tons of molten
metal to flow over the mill.
The dead are two unknown Hungarians.
The injured:
Thomas Maxwell, burned about the
body and head, will die
John Sole. burned about the upper part
of the body and head, will die
Unknown Hungarian, burned about the
body will die.
Michael Melee, slightly burned about
the face.
Thomas Greed, slightly burned about
the neck and face.
The body of one of the Hungarians
who was killed was literally burned to
cinder, while that of the other was
nearly as badly burned. It is thought
the accident was caused by the bolts in
the plate being crystallized.
