100000. A great fire is also raging

tor Flynn, Colonel Richardson and
Governor Stone have been in confer

would not even say whether the con-

a proposition to President Mitchell
which will tend to end the struggle in
the hard coal field. The conference

Boone Ia, March Engineer Tom
Herecon is in receipt of a mysterious
letter from Clinton, In which the anon

penalty of death by slow torture. The
ransom is demanded at once, though a
significant feature of the weird propo-

rs to where the money may be placed
The address given is 1918 Third
street, Clinton, and the detectives are
low making search of that vicinity.
Herecon is much wrought up over the
matter. He believes the writer fully
intends to carry his threat into execu-
fioh, and while he will not make the
pfyment exacted, close watch is to
bf kept on the matter with a view Of
making an arrest.

Dubuque, Ia, March Archbishop
Keane and the parish priests of Du-

last night a petition urging the adop-
ton of an ordinance somewhat along
the lines of the mulct law. 1t provides
for closing the saloons Sunday and at
10 p. m. on secular days and prohibits
wine rooms and sale of liquor to min
ors or drunkards. There is no pro-
vision concerning screens or other de-
tails of the mulct law. This law is
not in force in the city, as no pc
tition of consent has ever been circu-
lated, and the revised city ordinances
are silent concerning saloons.
