Fort Dodge, May 4.-It is believed
among the friends of Senator Healy
that they will present him as a candi-
date for the federal jI1geship when
Judge Shiras gets ready to retire. which
may be in the not very distant future.
Senator Healy is said to be not averse
to such an honor being conferred upon
him. Some even credit him with an act
i've ambition to fill the seat on the
bench. Senator Healy, it is said, will
have the support of Senator Dolliver
and 1t is also believed that Senator Dol
liver will be able to hold Senator ALI
son in acqufescence. Senator All son
would hardly have a home candidate to
push for the place, since Dubuque has
had the honor since the organization of
the northern district. Sioux City may
have a candidate in the person of Craig
Wright. Mr.. Wright has for some time
had his eye on the place. What effect
the recent harmony developments in
northwestern Iowa viii have on the
judgeship Is hard to foresee. The eff
fects, however, may be considerable.

40 pounds of this ore was recovered by
the officers making the arrest and is

Port Angeles, Jan. 2S.-The most
gratifying progress is being made by
the construction department of the Port
Angeles Pacific Railroad Company.
Monday the steamer Rapid Transit ar
rived here with another load of rails
and material. In the cargo are two
more miles Of rails with the necessary
adJuncts for track building, a lot of
construction cars, an additional lot of
logging trucks, portable saw mill
outfit, donkey engines and other ma
terial. A force of about leo men is at
work grading and laying ties and rails.
The first mile of track has been COM
pleted, and work is now being pushed
on the wharf, which it is necessary to
complete before a locomotive can be
landed and the first construction train
equipped.
New color is given to the story that
the Port Angeles Pacific is owned, or
at least is being backed by the North
err Pacific by reason of the fact that
the construction cars, constituting part
of the Rapid Transit's cargo, now UNI
loading, all bear the Northern Pa.
citic's label. The master of the Rapid
Transit reports that he is engaged for
three or four other immediate trips
with still further material for the

Hoy, shooting him one, through the
cheek and once through the shoulder.

ENGLISH FIRE HORROR.
Insane Asylum Burns With a Loss
Of More Than Fifty
Lives.

London, Jan. 28.-One of the most
sensational fires known here in many
years partially destroyed the govern.
ment insane asylum at Conley Hatch,
North London, and caused the loss O.
probably 81 lives. The fire started at
500 in the morning in the j. wish
wing, which has 600 inmates.
The building stands on an eminence
whose approaches have very steep grad
tents, making it difficult of access to
heavy vehicles. The fire wagons, which
had to come from considerable dis
tance1, toiled painfully up and slowly
the hill while the flames were max
ing tremendous Roadway. Before the
firemen could reach the scene pande-
monium re:gned throughout the build
ing. The lunatics, who had been asleep
when the fire started, broke away from
the attendants and raced up and down
the corridors, shrieking frantically. A
number escaped from the building and
are still at large. Others were trampled
and fatally injured.
The firemen devoted their attention
to the main building, leaving the wing
to be destroyed. The fire was under
control at o'clock. In the meantime
the inmates were removed from the
wing as rapidly as possible. 1t was at
first supposed that all were taken out
or had escaped, but after the fire had
been subdued nearly so bodies were
found in the ruins charred and disfig-
ured beyond identification. All those
found dead after the fire were women.
Relatives OF many of the missing have
arrived and are in an agony of suspense
while waiting to learn whether those in
whom they were interested are among
the escaped or the dead. There is no
other means of learning the identity OF
the dead than to find the patients who
got away,
