has daughter who is heir to his for
tune. The Waterloo relative is to be
comes of age when he is to receive a

Ito the millions. 1t is only thru the
kindness of the prison official that the
letters are permitted to be sent. Fin
ally the man has been confronted with
the demand of the officials for money
to pay the costs of his prosecution

means The beautiful heiress is to come
to America and reside with the Water
loo relative and will start as soon as
funds for transportation arrive and the

died in prison.
UP to this time the correspondence
was interesting but the Waterloo man
sought the advice of the American
consul at Madrid and thereby saved
a couple of hundred dollars. 1t was
the same old game. The persons con-
Quoting the correspondence were not

All the lines were forced to muster into
service every available passenger coach
to care for the Tastlcrowds.
Never before in its history was the
union depot crowded like 1t was yester
day. From 4so'clock until the last
train pulled out. shortly before mid
night, the army of country visitors
thronged the station. There was not a
vacant seat in amy of the waiting or

en- and children were forced to stand
while waiting for their trains TO ar

The railroads.. warned by the heavy
influx of travellers, had prepared for
the homeward trip, but their prepara-
tons counted for little. Although every
train carried eXtra-eoaches, the seating
capacity Of the cars was inadequate.
Men and women alike were forced to
stand in the aisles during their home
ward journey.
Many of the trains were run in two
sections, but even this did not relieve
the congestion. 1t was impossible to
care for the crowd, which was the
largest that. ever visited the Twin

Timothy d. Sullivan is now the head

ing been elected grand worthy master
at the convention in Tammany hall
today. The election was spirited and
there was lively campaigning from be-
ginning to end. Sullivan's election had
been expected, but many Western con-
tingents favored the election of Vice
President Palletier, of Kansas City,
and waged vigorous fight to place
him at the head of the order. On the
first ballot Sullivan polled 795 votes,
Palletier 729 and Henry ''Hy" Davis,
dfdates then withdrew and the con-
gressman's election was made unani-
nous.
protest was made against the
votes from Honolulu which were rep
resented in proxy by the California
delegates. AS the Hawaiian islanders
were in favor of Sullivan, his adherents
fought vigorously until the California
delegates were permitted to vote the
Hawaiians. Cape Nome, Alaska, the
state of Washington and Texas went
solidly for Sullivan.
The congressman drew from all over
the country, even the far Western
states sending him good vote.
