JUDGE sHIRAs' SUCCESSOR
The Dubuque Candidate Losing Ground,
but Refuses to Withdraw.

5@5 DUBUQUE, iowa.. G. LonguevilIe
of this city, who Is a candidate to succeed
Oliver r. Shiras on the federal bench, Is
being urged by friends of Senator Healey,
Craig Wright and the other candidates
to drop out Of the race, as they declare
place and has not the slightest chance OF
winning. Mr.. Longueville, however, in
sists that his chances OF securing the
appointment are better than those OF any
Of the other candidates and refuses to
withdraw his candidacy. Congressman
Birdsall Of this district has pledged him
his support and he is confident that SEN
ator Allison will give him kindly con-
stderatton In recognition Of his thirty
years service to the republican party in
Iowa. Longueville and Allison have
stumped the third district together on
numerous occasions during congressional
campaigns and are lifelong friends. 1t is
also understood that Judge Shiras is
secretly supporting Longueville's can
dldacy and is very DESTROYS that the lat
ter be appointed to succeed him.
There is disruption in the ranks Of the
Dubuque Bar association over the federal
judgeship. When Mr.. Longueville an
nounced himself as candidate to sue
coed Judge Shiras several weeks ago the
bar association Immediately adopted reso-
buttons pledging him Its support. Since
the VISIT or Senator Hubbard and Attor-
ney Kennedy Of Sioux City In the inter-
est Of Craig Wright, however about one
half Of the members Of the association
have changed front in favor of Wright
and Reed of Cresco, and LonguevilIe's
strength has been waning by degrees
One of his most vigorous opponents is
]. j. Mccarthy, former president Of the
| Iowa State Bar association, who is look
ing after Senator Healey's interests here
ME-, Mccarthy was a former law partner
OF Longueville. He declares that Senator
Healey is better qualified than any of the
other candidates to succeed Shfras. which
statement has aroused the ire of Mr.
Longueville. Mr.. Mccarthy is attorne,

LIFE OF A SEED
The Interesting Results Of Some Expert
ments by the United
States.
Harper eekly.
-

The United States department of agri-
culture is making experiments for the pur-
pose Of determining the extreme vitality
Of seeds. Over 100 species Of plants have
beer packed in a soil consisting of dry
clay frclosed in pots and buried at vary
ing depths undergroundei eight sets at "a
depth OF six inches, twelve at a depth
of twenty. and a third set of twelve at a
depth Of three and half feet. At the end
of one two, three, five, seven, ten and
fifty years, a set from each depth will be
exhumed and tested. The results Of the
experiment are likely to be of extraordin-
airy value to agriculturalists, both COM
mercially and scientifically incidentally,
it may be recalled that authentic cases are
on record which prove that certain seeds
have the power Of sprouting after having
been buried for long periods Of time, re-
liable tests having shown that twelve out
of twenty one species have the power Of
terminating after twenty years.

"OLD GLORY" KISSED
A Winnipeg Audience Impatient at

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. II
Winnipeg, Man, July 2o.-The American
flag was roundly Missed by crowded au-
dience on Saturday night at the Winnipeg
Grand Duchess by the Wilbur Opera
company. Discussing the incident the
Morning kilograms dramatic critic says.
"a too obtrusive Yankeeism is frequently
displayed by American companies perform
ing in Winnipeg. On this occasion tho
stars and stripes were thrown by lime light
onto the stage. Why the United States flag
should be SO particularly honored more
than the French, Russian or Polish, in
front Of a British audience no one can un-
derstand. On this occasion the audience
resented it by hooting and kissing, but the,
management quickly substituted King Ed
wards head and the Union Jack for "Old
Glory with wholly satisfactory results.
It wasn't really any particular demonstra-
tion against the United States. but a final
articulate protest against the habit Of
years standing which New York compa-
MES have had of carelessly putting on ex-
actly the same thing to British audiences
as they do to American houses, instead
Of accommodating themselves to the real
condition Of affairs this side of the boun-
Diary. On American Day this week, "a spe-
cial occasion, the starry banner will be
received with acclaim, but on ordinary oc-
casions there is absolutely no necessity to
everlastingly faunt a foreign standard to
q British crowd in general or a Canadian
audience in particular. There IS usually
not much time wasted south Of the line
in displaying the Union Jack or the royal
| standard to the average American audi
| ence."
| The opening Of the Winnipeg: exhibition
| week this morning marks point in the
years events of the province. A prelimi-.
nary canter round the grounds revealed
the fact that preparations for to-days
official opening are much further advanced
than in previous years. Everything is to
! day as complete as it was on Tuesday or
Wednesday of last exhibition week So far
the election has done the exhibition good
! by compelling many exhibitors to send
| in their stuff earlier than usual.
| The Red river claimed it's second victim
of the year last night, when w. r. Hall
was drowned. The accident happened
about fifty yards below Norwood bridge,
which is near the spot at which James
Barclay was drowned on May s. w. R.
Hall and Henry Noah Bowman rented a
canoe and went down the river. When
they neared the bridge, Hall got up in the
canoe and reached for his coat. The ca
noe tipped and both occupants fell into
the water. Bowman, being swimmer,
reached the upturned canoe, but Hall was
drowned. The body has not yet been re-
! covered.

BASIN, WYO.-Walters, one Of the
men who was shot by the mob here yes
to-day morning was editor and proprietor
Of the Lead Democrat at Lead, S. D.,
from 1891 to 1892 and was one Of the
prominent men of South Dakota. From
Lead Walters went to Deadwood, where
he was appointed United States deputy
marshal. This office Walters later lost
thru excessive dissipation and some al
legged crooked work. Coming home in an
intoxicated condition one night Walters
found another man talking to his wife
and would have killed him but his con-
dit1on rendered his aim ineffective. For
the attempted murder Walters served a
jail sentence. Walters steadily went to
the worse and Mrs. Walters finally Sc
cured divorce. Walters met Mrs.
Hoover at Thermopolis and after three
days acquaintance murdered her upon
her refusal to marry him.
The other man who was lynched was
Jim German. who killed his brother about
a year ago and ran off with his brothers

state Of lawlessness now prevails in
northern Wyoming, as result Of which
all law and order seem to have been abol-
ished. Sheriff Fenton Of Big Horn county
has arrested a number of prominent cat
tlemen near Thermopolis and he has APP
pealed to the governor for assistance
from militia in getting his prisoners to
the basin.
An alarming state Of affairs is reported
from the vicinity Of Thermopolis. About
SIX weeks ago. as result Of a range feud
that has been bitterly waged, a sheep
man, Ben Minnick, was killed by cat
tlemen. The sheriff, it is asserted, has
captured the murderers. who are all
prominent cattlemen and whose names
have been withheld owing to threats made
against the sheriff.
Sheriff Fenton is unable to get his pris-
oners to Basin. It is said the same mob
that lynched German and Walters are
sympathizers and have declared that
Sheriff Fenton will never get out Of the
locality alive with his prisoners. Sheriff
Fenton has wired the governor of Wv
oming for permission to use the state
militia at Lander, and has also sent a
telephone message to Basin and other
towns asking for volunteers to assist him
in unfolding the law.
