ONE good reason why the tariff
on Canadian wheat should be
removed is the opportunity it
would give farmers here for a
better chance to change their seed
grain. Everybody knows that a
change of wheat every few yexrs
insures better crops, and the hard
wheat coming from Manitoba is
the best change that can be made
for these states.

ANOTHER $4,000 dot guessing
contest has been inaugurated by
the Tribune, of Minneapolis, in

cash prizes are to be given to the

has been devised simply to adver-
tise the unquestioned merit of
their twice-a-week newspaper,

contest is interesting, there is ne

boil island, off the north coast of Sicily,
has commenced a terrible eruption. A
colossal column of fire is rising, and in
candescent stones are being emitted from
the craters. Many houses on the island
have been destroyed.
The Stromboli volcano was reported Sept
to be In full eruption. 1t was then throw
ing up columns of fire and torrents of
stones as it is now. This eruption lasted
for several days. Lava streamed down the
sides of the mountain to the sea, while
huge powders were hurled from the crater
to a great height. falling into the sea fully
two and a half miles from the shore. Co.
incident with this eruption there was prob
ably a submarine eruption between Strom-
boil and Sicily.
Stromboli is the northernmost of the
Lapari islands, in the Mediterranean, off
the coast of Sicily. Its population is placed
at 500 persons and Its area is eight square
miles. 1t is wholly of volcanic formation

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. 13.-J. B. Mar

Gus plots are said to have been directed,
is in Lexington, en- route to Frankfort TO
take a case before the Court of Appeals.
In fear Of assassination he left his home

panied by his two sisters and his wife,
who proceeded with him by a circuitous
route to the depot. Marcum is trustee of
the State College, attorney for the Louis

missioner in his district and attorney for
several eastern Kentucky corporations. Un-
til to-day he had not left his house but
twice since June. Within the last few days
he has been afraid to leave his room. he
says, having been warned by friend that
two men had been stationed in a house
commanding view of his porch and were
to shoot him when he followed his custom
of sitting on the porch. He says that in
one room of the house indicated the blind

sash raised several inches.
In support of the sensational statements
made by Moses Feltner in an affidavit, MIR
cum says that at time when he knew
Feltner had no money or a gun, he came
to his house one night and showed him $50.
a shotgun and shells loaded with buckshot.
and told him that plot had been formed

fear he had agreed to do the work: Feltner
told him the plan was TO shoot him at dawn

summer Marcum made practice of carry
ing his baby in his arms as protection. He
says he knows the babe saved his life once

Information Seemingly Reliable In
dicates that This Will be the
Outcome.
KUHN WILL DECIDE TO-DAY
1T is NOT THOUGHT HE WILL CON-
TEST THE ELECTION.
Republican Press Bureau to Be Main
tanned in This City-POlitical
News of Interest.

With the departure of Senator Fairbanks
for Washington politicians who are inter-
ested in the appointment of the successor
to Judge John H. Baker, of the United
States District Court. began comparing
notes and drawing conclusions as to who
will land the position. 1t was the opinion
of majority of those who are supposed to
be on the inside that r. o. Hawkins
cure the appointment.
The information comes from apparently
the most reliable sources that Mr.. Hawkins
is the winner of the race that has been
lively, although not short, for 1t has been
pointed out that the candidates and their
friends have been active ever since the ap-
pointment of Judge Francis E. Baker to
the United States Circuit bench. Mr..
Hawkins's friends urged him at that time
for the Circuit judgeship.
Senator Beveridge was credited with the
appointment of Judge Francis E. Baker
and, as a result, the naming of the Sue
cessor to Judge John H. Baker has been
left to Senator Fairbanks. Ever since the
election the latter has been engaged every
day with friends of the respective candi-
dates for the honor, but 1t is now under
stood that the matter is closed, that Sena-
tor Fairbanks will recommend Mr. Haw-
kins and that President Roosevelt will
send the appointment to the Senate for
confirmation early in the approaching ses-
sion-before the holiday recess, at least
An Eighth district Republican leader who
was in the city yesterday stated that he
had positive assurances that Mr.. Hawkins
would receive the appointment. He said
that he knew the promise had been given
that President Roosevelt would name the
Indianapolis man and that the Official an
nouncement would be made at an early
day.
The name of Robert j. TraceweIl, of
Corydon, controller of the treasury has
been mentioned in connection with the dis
trict Judgeship within the past week or
two, and in some quarters Ii was intimated
that Mr.. Tracewell was in line for the
place as he stands very close to the Presi-
dent but in discussing the matter yester-
day one of Senator Fairbankss friends
stated that he was reliably informed that
Mr. Tracewell was not a candidate for the
position and that his friends would not
urge his name.
Among those whose names have been
mentioned i'm connection with the appoint
ment and whose friends have bestirred
themselves, are Judge Lucius c. Embree.
of Princeton, Enoch G. Hogate, of Dam
Vile and G. c. Shirley, of KOkomo

REPUBLICANS HAPPY IN OWEN.
They Overcame n Democratic Plura7i-
ty by Hard Campaigning.

A. w. Howard. of Spencer. editor of the
Owen County Journal and chairman of the
Republican committee of Owen county, was
in the city yesterday and called al state
headquarters. Mr.. Howard says that the
Republicans of his county are still jollify-
ing over the great showing they made in
the recent election and that they have
about come to the conclusion that they are
the salt of the earth.
There is some little justice in their claims.
by the way. Owen county is normally
Democratic by plurality of between 800
and 400. but this year the Republicans en-
tered the campaign with do-or-die spirit
and wound up by electing their entire coun-
ty ticket, except a couple of the county
councilmen. This is the first time such
thing has happened in that county and
consequently the Republicans are to be
pardoned for their unusual elation and the
mutual admiration society they have
formed.
''The best thing about il ALL" said Mr..
Howard in telling of tile victory, lis that
the party in Owen county is now in har
mony. We came out of the campaign two
years ago with some little factional trou-
bles, but these nave all been smoothed
away and We are in the best shape we have
ever been in. We are all pulling together
