SOME HAPPENINGS
OF THE WEEK.
GOSSIP FROM
THE OUTSIDE
WORLD.
IOWANS GO TO CUBA.

"A large number of Iowa farm
ers, tired of the rigor of northern
winters, have decided to emigrate
to Cuba. A party sailed from
New Orleans last week for the Isle
of Pines, the location of the new
colony, and more will follow short
ly. The towns of Spirit Lake and
Fairfield have furnished most of
the emigrants to date.
T. L. James is a leader in the
big colonization scheme to locate
good, thrifty American farmers on
this, the least known Of all of I'm
Gle Sans new possessions. Mr..
James says all the Iowans are 60
ing into the fruit raising business
and he believes the westerners will
convert the Isle of Pines into one
of the most famous places in the
world.
HOLE-IN- THE-WALL TO BE BLOWN up.
The county commissioners of
Caspar, Wyo., have decided to
finally destroy the famous and no.
torious valley fastness, known as
the Hole-in the Wall. This is
done, not because the place is still
a rendezvous for outlaws. but be-
cause the entrance to the valley is
so narrow that wagons cannot pass.
A portion of the red wall will be
blown away and the roadway
widened.
The wall is huge pile of rock,
rising to height of several hun
dred feet and extending several
miles. Its sides are perpendicular
in places and there is only one way
to enter the valley.
In the early days when cattle
rustlers and outlaws infected CEN
trail Wyoming they used the Hole
in-the- Wall valley as a rendezvous,
the stolen cattle being driven
through the narrow crevice. Once
inside, the thieves were safe, and
while one or two outlaws guarded
the narrow entrance the brands
were changed and the stock made
ready to ship. AS late as 1897 it
was used as a hiding place for
criminals.

| A CASUAL ROBBER.
While fast in a boiler William
Sutherwaite, an employe of the
Yaryan Company of Evanston,
ILL.,, who is placing smoke consum-
ing devices in the plant, watched
a man ransack his coat and take
500 and run away Thursday.
Sutherwaite saw the man pick
up his coat, which he had dis
carded when he put on his work
ing clothes. Heyelled at the man
to drop the coat, but the thief only
turned his face away and continued
his work.
Then Sutherwaite attempted to
get out Of the boiler, but the space
he had to crawl through was very
small and he had to go carefully.
When he got out the man had
boarded train for Chicago.
A BOTTLE DRIFTS AROUND THE HORN.
About year ago Walter Roeder,
of Bloomington, ILL.,, wrote a mes
sage, sealed it in a bottle and set
it adrift in the Mackinaw river.
Last Friday it was picked up on
the beach of Santa Monica, CAL,
by Jesse Williams.
The bottle undoubtedly drifted
down the Mackinaw Until that
stream joined the Illinois, down
the latter to the Mississippi, down
the Mississippi to the Gulf of
Mexico, out into the Atlantic,
skirted the coast Of South America,
rounded the Horn, to be caught
up by some unknown current and
carried northward, a journey ex-
ceedlng 10000 miles. The bottle
and message betrayed little evil
dence of the long journey.
USED DYNAMITE TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Because he had little trouble
with his wife, Joseph III. Bovine,
a prominent Bohemian of Coal
City, ILL.,, committed suicide by
blowing himself up with dyna-
mite.
The family row occurred last
Saturday morning. Bovine brood
ed over it until afternoon, when he
went to the village and bought
stick of dynamite. He placed the
Explosive in his inside vest pocket,
went behind the barn and laid
down on the ground. He struck
the cap ON the stick with his
knuckles, and was at once blown

MINORITY WILL
 FIGHT RECIPROCITY
DEMOCRATS HAVE FORMED A COMPACT ORGANIZATION FOR THAT PURPOSE AND HAVE SO NOTIFIED SENATOR PLATT.

Washington, April 4.-The Post tomor- row will say:
 Senator Platt of Connecticut, the chair man of the Senate committee on Cuba, yesterday received two notifications One from the Democratic side was to the ef- feet that the minority proposed to fight reciprocity at every stage and had formed compact organization for that purpose. The other came from promi- nent Republican who stated that at the proper time he would offer an amendment to the bill declaring that reciprocity should be contingent upon the agreement by the Cuban government to a treaty with the United States embodying the text of the Platt amendment, the Senator putting his statement on the ground that he feared the Cubans, after they had formed a government, would attempt to nullify the Platt amendment.
 Both notifications were the beginning of the fight to be made in the Senate against the enactment of the measures.
 Senator latt said that if reciprocity was not to be enjoyed by Cuba until a treaty had been signed and ratified, 1t would postpone until next winter the promised relief for the island.

AERONAUT TELLS
 SOME OLD HISTORY
WENT IN BALLOON TO SPAIN TO PERSUADE MARSHAL PRIM TO PROCLAIM REPUBLIC IN SPAIN. ISABELLA FLED.

Paris, April 4.-An interesting histori- cal revelation has been made by Count de Keratry. former prefect of police, at a banquet given by the Aero Club in honor of the thirteen surviving aeronauts who left Paris during the siege of that city in 1S70-71 The count, who descended at Prillon, near Bar-Lee-Duc, Depart ment of Mouse after a perilous journey said he was employed by the national government with a mission to Madrid, where he was to try to persuade Marshal Prim to proclaim republic in Spain. Keratry had in the balloon 60 000, 900 francs in treasury bonds. which detach- ment of Prussian Uhlans nearly captur- ed. The money was intended to equip and pay an army corps of 5000 men which Spain was to place at Frances disposition. Marshal Prim refused to un- dertake the task, although Senor Caste lar and other Spanish republicans sup ported the proposition. Marshal Prim was assassinated three months after and his murderer was never discovered.
 Marshal Prim organized the movement which, in September, 1868, resulted in the flight from Spain of Queen Isabella. He subsequently, became minister of war in the provisional government and furnish ed the pretext for the FrancoPrussian war of 1870-1 by offering the throne of Spain to Prince Leopold of HohenZollern. In the aut umn of 1870 Marshal Prim ob- tained from the Spanish cortes the cleo tion of the Italian Prince Amadus. Duke of Aesota, as King of Spain.

in all other modes of travel than by ve- hicles over the public highway and he argued energetic prosecution of the good roads movement. A telegram of regret was read from Admiral Schey.
 Senator Hanna was introduced by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee as a good fellow Whose grandfather had been born in Virginia, not fifty miles from Charlottesville. The senator was loudly applauded. He said the road question was practical one and the question of transportation in this great country of ours q serious one. The surplus products must find market NO where had there been greater develop mant industrially than at the South and he would speak on Southern development rather than on the road question. The South was richer in minerals than any other part of the country east Of the Rocky mountains, and Tennessee and Alabama, in his judgment, would some time be the great steel center Of the Tinted States. The interest shown in good roads was gratifying to him, as 1t showed the people of the South are awake to their own interest. He favored im- provement of the waterways of the South also.
 Other Speakers were Representatives Davis of Florida, Littlefield of Maine and Tongue of Florida. The convention came to an end this afternoon.
