Candidates in a Quandary.

The candidates Tor State offices are
IN quandary as to what to do in
the matter of newspaper announce
ments. It is conceded that a state
candidate cannot announce in one
paper without announcing in all, as
such policy would subject him to
criticism Of partiality or parsimony.
Many of the papers answer the can
didates in reply to requests for rates,
that the announcements of state call
didates will be made for $40 This
seems to be the uniform price, with
a few scattering exceptions. Of
course many OF the papers have put
up the names of candidates who are
themselves newspaper men, as pro-
fessional courtesy.

PROM HEADWATERS TO GULF.
Electric Railway Contemplated from
Minnesota to the Gulf.

st. Paul, Minn.-An electric rail
way, chiefly for freight business,
but which will eventually carry
passengers, is tc be built from Du-
luth to the Gulf of Mexico. John w.
Gates and leading capitalists of the
Twin Cities and the East are
identified with the enterprise. Mr..
Gates is said to be the real head.
The estimated cost will be $40, OOO.-
900. There will be double track
and the route will be through the
Twin Cities to Des Moines, thence
to st. Louis and on to the gulf. The
company will be known as the
Texas, Iowa and Minnesota Electric
Railway Company. Thomas Lowry,
of Minneapolis, pr esident of the 500
Railway and of the Twin City Rapid
Transit Company, and former Sena-
tor w. D. Washburn, are among
those connected with the enterprise.
There will be separate company
in each state through which the line
passes. Later these will be corsol1-
dated into one large company. The
road will furnish a new gateway to
Europe for the vast expo rts CT the
West and Northwest.

prieved by the governor at the in
stance of committee of citizens who
believe that an accomplice may be
convicted by his testimony, seems to

City and the officials of the truth of
his confession. Campbell admits
being a party to the killing of Bunk
Collins, and admits going to the
house with shotgun for that pur-
pose, but he states also that another
negro went with him aud that the
shot that killed Collins was fired by
another man. Campbell had shot
gun and the fatal shot was tired by
a revolver. He has repeatedly told
this story since his conviction and
says he would have told it in court
II he had been put on the stand in
his own defence. Campbell has
charged Ben Steward with the kill
ing, and Steward is now under ar
rest.

Important, Invention.

New York. the current issue
Of the Electrical Review is described
an important invention in wire
less telegraphy by Peter Coop
err, of New York City. son of the
late Abram S. Hewitt. This device,
which is a development OF the Coop
er Hewitt Mercury vapor lamp,
takes the place of the usual spark
gap for discharging in the antenna
or sending mast. It consists of a
glass globe eight to ten inches in di-
ameter, with two mercury electrodes
contained in tubes sealed into the
lower part Of the globe.
The device is very effective, and
It is stated by this authority will en-
able much more powerful cleo
trical wave to be set up than is pos
sible with the methods at present
In use. and will also make secrecy in
transmission easily possible.
DR.. M. I. Pupin, professor of
eleetro-mechanlcs at Columbia Uni
versity, and widely known from his
inventions of the long distance tele-
pnonic transmission, is quoted by
the Electrical Review as saying:
1.-THE Cooper Hewitt mercury
vapor interruption at once estab-
fishes wireless telegraphy on COM
merclal basis. The problem of Sc
lective signaling is solved and
transatlantic transmission will be
easv."

TERRIFIC FIRE.
Clifton House Destroyed, Nine Persons
Cremated and Forty Injured.


Cremated and Forty Injured.
Cedar Rapids, Ia.-Fire early
Saturday morning destroyed the
Clifton Hotel. cremated nine Of the
guests and caused injuries to forty
two persons who were scorched, or
forced to jump to the frozen street
from second and third story win
dows. After an all-day search in the
debris four bodies were recovered.
Five more bodies remain in the
ruins OF the hotel. The burned
building was filed v ith delegates to
the State Mer's Christian Associa-
ton convention and the district con-
vention OF the Knights Of Pythias.
The hotel register was destroyed,
thus making it difficult to ascertain
names OF missing persons.
The flames started in g pile Of
rubbish in the basement, pre-
sumably igniting by defective cleo
trio light wires. The night clerk
was on the second floor when the
cry OF fire, raised by a bell boy,
startled him. He took up the cry
and in an instant the Railways were
choked with frightened guests. A
rush was made for the stairways. It
was then the heartrending cries
OF anguish and desperation were
raised, for the fire was rapidly eat
ing into the stairway, completely
cutting off escape.
Then followed stampede for the
windows, the only means of exit
left. The street below was now
filed with a crowd scarcely less
frantic than the despairing ones in
the fast burning building.
The victims were literally driven
by the flames to jump. Nearly ev-
cry one of them fingered until the
last moment, urged by the people
below to wait as long as possible in
the hope of assistance. Then a cry
would tell that the fire had reached
them or the smoke had made it i'm
possible to breathe and one after an
other jumped, some to the street
and some more fortunate to the roofs
OF buildings adjoining. In short
space of time the street was filed
with men and women bruised, bat
tered, broken-limbed and half
crazed. All were in their right
garments.

sage of Attorney General Knox sent
to President Bo, of the canal COM

part Of the directors of the company
at parting with the property for
this price, as they regard the offer
of the United States as continuing
the option beyond March 4 in the
event of the failure Of the senate TIC
ratify the Columbian treaty by that
time, could not be ascertained.
William N. Cromwell, attorney for
the Panama railroad and also for the
