FREEDOM FOR IRELAND.
Mr.. Redmond Says 1t Will Speedily
Be Realized.

Boston, Oct. 20.-On the steamship
New England, which arrived from
Queenstown and Liverpool, was John E..
Redmond, NJ. p, chairman of the Irish
parliamentary party, and president of
the the United Irish League John Dill
lon M. p, for East Mayo, and Michael
Davitt. Mr.. Redmond, in speaking of
the present condition in Ireland and of
matters relating to the United Irish
League, said:
"The United Irish League is ruling
power in Ireland today, as truly as ever
the land league was. The government
played into our hands by the coercion
policy, and now the country is aroused.
We are on the eve of settlement of
the Irish land question, and after that
national self-government will speedily
come to Ireland.
"The Irish party now in the house of
commons is the only real opposition in
the English parliament, and 1 believe
the day is near at hand when it will
have the controlling influence in Great
Britain"

there is campanile, 800 feet high, and
a grand architectural work. 1t Is the
tallest of the Italian towers. But the
tower of Pisa, on account Of Its pecu-
liar and startling appearance. leaning
nearly fourte IN feet out Of the perpen-
dicular, Is more widely known. 1t
used to be classed as one Of the seven
wonders of the world, and pictures OF
1t have been published in school books
the world ove.. for a century or more.
The tower is 179 feet high and so
feet in diameter. 1t Is cylindrical in
form. The summit is reached by $50
steps. Some people have an idea that
the tower was built out Of the perpen-
dicular, but this is not the fact. The
fault was manifest before the tower
was completed, and extra braces were
put In place to guard against disaster.
The upper part Of the tower was built
Of imitation stone to Tighten the
weight, and finally the seven bells
were placed In the top of the tower in
such a way as to counteract by their
gravity the leaning Of the tower. The
largest Of these bells weighs $4,000
pounds. The tower is divided into

BAD OMEN FOR WINTER.
Expected British Revival of Indusl
try Has Not Yet Come.

London, Oct. 1.-THE labor depart
ment of the board of trade has issued a
report which is considered to be bad
omen for the coming winter, as 1T shows
that the revival of industry which 1t
was anticipated would come after the
termination of the South African war
has not yet been realized.
The report says the general state OF
employment has continued to decline
and is now worse than it was year
ago. Wages everywhere are tumbling
and the number of unemployed persons
rapidly increasing.
The newspapers comment upon this
report this morning and predict hard
winter for the laboring classes. Meat
bread and coal are all dearer than a
year ago while thousands of reservists
who have returned from South Africa
ana are unable to find employment are
oeginning public demonstrations to call
attention to their destitute condition.

the following reference to hazing:
During the year there has been no

is that OF cadet who, without author

jim YOUNGER SUICIDES
Former Notorious Outlaw, Out
on Parole, Puts a Bullet
Through His Head.

st. Paul, Oct. 20.-James Younger,
! formerly a member of the notorious
James band of outlaws which infested
the Western country quarter TO GEN.
fury ago, who committed suicide by
shooting, left a letter to the press. in
which he gives as reason for his act
dependency over continued iii health
and separation from his friends. The
suicide is supposed to have occurred
about o'clock. Younger occupied a
room in down town block, and when
he did not make his appearance as
usual, search was made for him.
About 5 o'clock the door of his room
was broken in and his dead body found,
stretched on the floor beside the bed.
A revolver was clutched in his right
hand. He had shot himself through
the head and evidently had been dead
for several hours.
Younger, since his pardon from the
state penitentiary in July of last year,
has led an exemplary life. His first
employment was as travelling agent
for tombstone dealer, and on one of
the trips he made about the state he
was quite seriously hurt by fall from
wagon. Old wounds he had re-
ceived earlier in life also gave him
much trouble, and, although he soon
obtained lighter employment, his
health was extremely precarious, and
this caused him much worriment. He
was 81 years of age. On the bureau of
his room was found long manila en-
velope, on one side of which was writ
ten:
"To all that is good and true | love
and bid farewell. Jim Younger"
On the other side of the envelope
were these words:
ooh, lassie, goodbye.
Gail relatives, just stay away from
me. No crocodile tears wanted.
Reporters: Be my friends. Burn
me up. Jim Younger"
Could Not Secure Pardon.
The envelope contained package OF
letters that had passed between Young
er and a lady with whom he is said to
have been very much in love. The
lady, who is prominently connected, is
said to have reciprocated his affection,
and it was reported at one time that
thew were to be married. The lady S
relatives raised strenuous objections to
the wedding, and further obstacle was
the fact that it was pointed out that a
paroled prisoner could not legally con-
tract a marriage. The couple deter.
mined to disregard the objections OF
relatives, and an effort was made to
overcome the other obstacle to their
marriage by securing from the state
board of pardons full pardon and re-
storation to citizenhsip. This effort
failed, and this, it is thought hao
much to do with Younger's determlna-
ton to end his life.

been President since 1876 and now
that he has passed the 10th milestone
Of his life he Is willing to retire from
the cares of office.
His most probable successor Is Gen.
Bernardo Reyes, Secretary of War. In
almost every respect Reyes Is a Sec

battle. He never fOrgives an enemy
and never goes back on friend. Reyes
Is strongly opposed to gambling In any
form, or drinking. So Is Diaz. Between
them they have succeeded In checking,
to large extent, the gambling and
drinking in the Mexican army.
Gen. Reyes was born In the State Of
Jalisco in 1850. At the early age of
10 he ran away from home to join the
patriot army. The French army had
invaded Mexico for the purpose of
overthrowing the Republic. Reyes,
learning that the foreign soldiers were
marching toward the City of Mexico
and slaughtering all who opposed
them, started off to join his country's
army. He was captured In the noun
tains by a band Of imperial sympa-
thizers and turned over to the COM
handing officer of the imperIalists,
who, owing to his youth sent him back
to his native city.
But he again ran away, made his
way to Jalisco, and joined the army
that was stationed there. Before he
was 20 years old he was promoted to
the rank of first lieutenant. Shortly
afterward he took part in the battle Of
Queretaro, and. while leading his men,
received a saber wound In the fore
head. He also fought In the battle Of
San Lorenzo and was present when the
City of Mexico was captured.
In all of these engagements with the
French and Austrians he displayed
great military talent.
During his subsequent career Gen.
Reyes has frequently been called upon
to put down revolts and these tasks he
discharged with success. He steadily
grew In the favor of the President,
winning promotion after promotion.
Since becoming Secretary Of War he
has introduced a number OF reforms
In the army, the most recent Of which
was to put stop to drinking and gam
bling among the officers.

ANCIENT DOCK AT EVERETT
Piling Found by Dredger Many
Feet Under Water.

Everett, Oct. 20.-The remains of
what appears to be prehistoric dock
has been unearthed by the dredgc Seat
tie, while deepening the anchorage
around the Everett improvement Com
pany's docks. A lot of old piles, some
of them fifteen feet long, were struck
from eighteen to twenty feet under
ground where the dredge was working.
How they got there is a mystery. They
were about forty feet north of the pres
ent dock. at point where there never
has been dock located during historic
times.
The engineer for the old land COM
pany, George Mentandon, laid out all
the water front improvements during
the early days and he has no knowledge
of dock having been built there or
any piles driven for any purpose. Moth
ing is on record to show there was.
To all appearances the piles have been
used in some ancient dock, but by
whom constructed is not known. Old
settlers say that there is tradition
among the Indians that many years
ago ships from some foreign power
landed here and engaged in trade with
them. 1t is argued from this that
there may have existed trading post
here before historic times and that the
piles discovered embedded in the harbor
are the remains of some ancient land
ing place for ships.

HON. ROBERT c. BROWN.
One of the Most Prominent Men in
Southwestern Illinois.

Robert C. Brown, of Sparta, ILL.,, has
represented his district, the Forty
eighth, for six years, and was recently
notified of his coming appointment as
clerk of the u. S. court for the southern
district of Illinois. He was born in
1859 and has worked his way to the top
simply by force of application, energy
and good common sense.
After working several years as a
blacksmith, he studied law at night and
was admitted to the bar in 1894. He is
a prominent member of the Knights of
Pythias, the Elks and Modern Wood
men. February 20, 1901. he writes as
follows:

LIPTON's NEXT YACHT.
Sir Thomas Will Have New ChalIen-
ger Built by Fife.

London, Jan. 14.-Wm. Fife of Fair
lie on the Clyde, is to build Sir Thomas
Liptons next challenger for the Ameri-
cas- cup. At a conference just held be-
tween Sir Thomas and his advisers,
definite arrangements were made for
the construction of the Shamrock III,
and an order for the new yacht was
given to and accepted by Mr.. Fife. In
view of the probability of a big revival
of British yachting and the fact that
designing and experimenting a cup
challenger necessitates constant work
for at least a year, Mr.. Fife was some
what disinclined to accept the contract,
but Sir Thomas found means of over
coming his objections. George l. Wat
son has promised to assist Mr.. Fife in
every way by handing over to him the
details of the construction of the Sham
rock II and all the calculations and de-
tails of the tank experiments made at
the Dennis yard. With this and the ex-
perience gained with the Shamrock 1,
Mr.. Fife starts with a distinct advan-
tage over his first efforts.
Mr.. Fife is already collecting material
and will commence designing the Sham
rock III so soon as the boats now on
hand for the next British yachting sea-
son are fairly started, which probably
will be at the end Of this month. The
Shamrock III is to be ready early in
the spring of 1903.

for the Republican nomination for sec
rotary of state has been made. Mr..
Burrow is reported to have a barrel"
He is president of the First National
bank of Smith Center and has the repu-

Smith county.
He has lived in Smith county for the
past rs years. At one time he was a
mail carrier between Red Cloud. Neb,
and Osborne. That was before Smith
county had a railroad. Since that time
he has made a good-sized fortune.
He will have the Sixth district solidly
behind him and probably a large por-
ton of the Fifth. Thus far only one
other man has been mentioned for the
place, Charles Harris of Emporia, and
he is not pushing his candidacy as yet,
although there is plenty of time for him
to do so before the state convention.

STEEL TRUST NOTIFIED
That It Must Pay a Larger Sum Into
Illinois Treasury

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Notice has been
served on the Illinois Steel branch of the
United States Steel Corporation that IL
must pay into the treasury of the state
of Illinois from $4,000 to $4,000.
Secretary of State Rose sent a repres-
entative to the local offices of the Steel
trust in the Rookery building yesterday
and demanded the feeS-reaching the
above figures required under the for
eignNcorporation act for the privilege of
doing business in this state.
Mr.. Rose announced that the steel
combination must respect the state
laws, and failure to obey will be the
signal, it is threatened, for proceedings
against the big corporation before the
United States supreme court.
The local officials of the trust declined
to pay the amount, pleading that in
reality the Illinois corporation was still
an integral quantity. They declined to
admit that they were part and parcel
of the United States Steel company.
