An extraordinary race was witnessed at
Hastings, Neb., the other day. 1t was be-
tween passenger train and barn; and
the barn came mighty near winning The
train was at the depot when ''twister"
OF wind was seen to be approaching. 1t
was headed directly for the train. On the
way 1t picked up a barn bodily and
brought it along. The engineer seeing
the danger to the train pulled open the
throttle and put on full steam. The barn
was rapidly gaining, however, when the
wind swerved to one side and the train
escaped.

Iowa Republicans are Gathering at
Cedar Rapids for the Republican
~ Convention.
Cummins Men Claim They Have Con-
troll of the Situation, Which is
Vigorously Denied.
Several Anti Cummins Factions Ready
to Unite Their Forces to Defeat
Him,

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Aug. 6.-Amidst
a mass of claims and counter claims
regarding Wednesdays gubernator:al
convention and between estimates
that radically differ and statements
that fatty contradict, one factor is
that the convention will be battle
royal from the start.
Anti-Cummins men say they will
make a fight in the caucuses that will
prove an eye opener to Cummins and
confidentially predict that they will
control the make up of all the i'm
portant committees. Carroll Wright,
manager of the Cummins campaign,
denies that his man will get the worst
of it in the caucuses and declares he
has a sure thing in the convention.
Shortly before noon Candidates Tre-
win, Hartman and Herriott held a
short conference with the object of
determining how they could best op-
pose the Cummins strength. All three
denied that they had agreed upon any
one man to lead the opposition to
Cummins in case they find it neces-
sary to unite against him. They did
agree, however, to pool their issues IL
such step shall seem necessary and
claim they can control the convention
with $50 to 975 votes. Cummins
claims a sure nomination on the first
or second ballot.

afternoon flames burst suddenly from
the old Exposition building, occupying
a half square of ground in the eastern
end of the city. The fire Immediately

hundreds of people awaiting the open
ing performances The circus employees
aided in getting the people to places
of safety.
The Exposition building. which is
situated three miles from the center
of the city, is a landmark. and was to
have been blown up with dynamite
next Saturday to make room for a
new structure.
So far as known no one was injured.

Gus tents In safety and the animals

The exposition building was erected
at a cost of 100000, but for years has
been in dilapidated condition and
practically was of no value.

N. p. LAND DECISION.
Commissioner Hermann on Rights Of
Minnesota Settlers.

commissioner hermann on Hi9ntS OF
Minnesota Settlers.
Washington, Aug. 6.-Binger Her.
mann. commissioner Of the general
land Office, has rendered his decision
concerning the rights of large num-
ber Of settlers and homesteaders in
Northern Minnesota.
These settlers originally located on
the second indemnity belt of the
Northern Pacific railroad land grants.
They were never given patents, and
Mad to give up their lands under de.
cision of the secretary of the interior.
Under the provisions Of an act
passed at the last session of con-
gress. all settlers who had thus been
compelled to forfeit their lands are
entitled to take up homesteads, and
pay the communication price.
There are quite a number of the
settlers who wish to make entry on
the Red Lake reservation lands, and
when their applications have been pre-
sented the register and receiver at the
them to advertise their entry for six
weeks, and then make an additional
trip to the local land Office. when their
final receipt and certificate is given.
The settlers did not like this and
petitioned for a modification of the
rulings Of the Crookston land office.
In his decision Commissioner Her
mann holds that all who had paid up,
either by residence or the, commuta-
tion price on the Northern Pacific
lands, are entitled now to an entry
without any delay whatever. The 9TH
ers who had not proved up or paid up,
will be credited with whatever time
or money they had expended during
the time they we're possessed of the
railroad lands. and must then prove
up in the ordinary way.

WATCHING SHAFFER.
Amaigamated President Expected to
Make Next Move.

Pittsburg, Aug. 6.-Now that the
suspense induced by the uncertainty
of the outcome in the strike negotia-
tions is over there is less excitement
here than there was last week and the
people are looking matters squarely in
the face. Everybody is watching
President Shaffer, as it is recognized
that from him will emanate the next
move in this great struggle. He was
at his office early but refused to say
anything. Notwithstanding good
nights rest he looked haggard and
careworn, which showed that his ex-
perience OF the past few weeks is tell
ing upon him. Speculation is now rife
when he will issue the order for gen.
eral strike of all the Amalgamated
men employed in the mills of the Unit
ed States Steel corporations plants
Although President Shaffer did not
say so at this time he explained not
long ago that before an order for
strike was issued a circular letter
would be sent out from the general Of
fees to all lodges of the organization
explaining the situation, giving a COM
plete report of all that had occurred
between the members of the executive
board and the officials Of the trust, of
the earnest efforts made by the asso-
settlement and their failure. This cir
cular will be read in lodge meetings in
order that the men in the mills can
have
S,ear ana comprehensive InsIgnr
of the entire matter and act intelli-
gently. With this information in their
hands the men will be able 10 see
that the officers have acted carefully
and with an earnest desire to avoid an
open rupture. The strike order will
then follow and will be taken up with
out the least misunderstanding on the
part of the members. Doubt is ex-
pressed in some quarters that the
strike will spread further. 1t Is sug-
gested that the employees Of the FEEDER
al Steel company, National Steel COM
pany and National Tube company are
at the presnt time the strikers main
source of revenue and to call them out
would weaken the association in its
fight by depriving it of the funds nec-
essary to carry on the struggle. An
other reason given was that the
Analgamated association, having sign
ed contracts with all these companies
for one year beginning with July 1.
1901 would. by violating these con.
tracts, give MFR. Morgan and his asso-

statement Regarding Knights of Pyth.
las Insurance Branch.
Milwaukee, Aug. 6.-Ogden H.
Fethers, supreme chancellor of the
knights of ,Pythias, issued a state
ment in which he says the insurance
branch of the order of Knights of
Pythias is improving every day.
"The reckless and scandalous mis-.
use of its funds by former officers and
hangers on brought humiliation and
shame to every honorable knight" :"
said Mr.. Fethers, "but the exposure of
the wrong doers and the swift action
of the supreme lodge in directing the
prosecution Of all offenders has put
the order on its mettle and from all
parts of the supreme domain come
ringing assurances of loyal support
and confidence. The fact of the pay
ment of over 100000 to the families
OF the deceased brethern during the
past four months is an earnest of the
vitality of the endowment depart
ment"

Boy Who Shot His Playmate at Mon.
ticeIIo, Mimi.


Buffalo, Mimi, Aug. 6.-Ernest Elzo.
meier of St. Louis, who shot his plav.
mate, Gerald Bailey, at Monticello
Friday, has been arrested and is
locked up in the Jail here. The two
ooys had some words over the possess
sion of knife and, according to an
ante-mortem statement of young Bail
ey, Elzemeier had said that if he did
not give him the knife he would blow
MS head off. Almost immediately
atter this threat. the shotgun in the
possession of Elzemeier was dis
charged, the load striking Bailey in
the right side. Death ensued in six
hours.
The authorities were at first inclin-
ed TO believe that the threat was not
meant in seriousness and that the
shooting was purely accidental. The
county attorney, after Investigating
the affair, decided to have Elzemeier
placed under arrest. He is l6 wears
old and Bailey was 13.

ftate to use to Che best effect.
An intimation has been made that
there is still one hope of ending the
strike soon, and that is by the return
to work of the men at the Painter,
Lindsay & McCutcheon and Clark
mills. These mills were non-union
last year. The men went out when
the strike was ordered and they are
now members Of the Amalgamated as
sociation. In the efforts to secure an
adjustment Of the strike, however,
their status has been an embarrassing
factor.

Fredrick of Germany is Received
In Europe.

Mourning in Several European King

The Empress.

London, Aug. 6.-The news of the
death Of the Dowager Empress Fred
erick spread slowly in London. The
Associated Press gave Buckingham
palace, Marlborough House and the
Mansion House the first intimation
that her majesty had passed away.
AS all members of the royal family
and many of the officials are out of
town for the holidays, It is probable
that no official recognition of her
majesty's death will be issued before
morning. The bells of St. Pau1s Ca
thedral will be tolled when the home
secretary, Mr.. RHchie. officially in
forms the lord mayor of the death of
the dowager empress. The officials Of
the German embassy had not officially
heard the news at 7:30 p. M Their
colleagues at The Hague, on the other
hand, received the news of the death
of the dowager empress before it had
occurred and halfmasted the legation
flag at about $3.50 p. m. The foreign
minister, and the members of the le-
cation here, cabled the legation at The
Hague when the mistake was discov-
cred and the halfmasted flag was has

Shaffer arrived at the Amalgamated

if a settlement could have been reach
ed in New York Saturday had they
waived their rights at the Painter,
Lindsay &, McCutcheon and the Wells
Vile plants. He said:
"The Amalgamated association
could have settled in New York if they
had given up these mills, but as long
as we can fight we are going to fight
for them. They are much of us as
any other lodge. Our fight is theirs
and their fight is ours"

to the president and his answer was
"Within week."
"Can you say how many men will be
affected?"
II do not know how many the strike
order will affect
"Will the board be called for any
more conferences"
"No; the board has been dismissed
and will not be called unless the
other side wants peace. They have
declared war"
Mr.. Shaffer said the statement that
he had stopped at Washington was
true, but he did not see President

sured Mr.. Shaffer the Federation Of

West Superior, Wis. Aug. 6.-Three
hundred feet of the S00-foot bridge
over the St. Louis river on the Stony
Brook division of the Eastern Mime
sofa road collapsed during the after
noon with the first ore train that ever
passed over the new road.
Jerry OReilly, head brakeman. was
crushed to death and Thomas Phillips,
engineer, and H. G. Odell, fireman,
were badly bruised and cut, escaping
greater injury by jumping to the
water, 80 feet below. Assistant
Trainmaster John Postal was probably
seriously injured.
The ore train consisted of 80 cars,
carrying 100 tons of iron ore
Eight cars with the engine were on
the main part of the bridge when it
collapsed. Sixteen cars went down
and all are at the bottom of the river.
