Commencing June I, the Minneapo-
lis & St. Louis will inaugurate another
through sleeping car between the Twin
Cities and St. Louis, which is evidence
OF the increasing popularity of the
through St. Louis service established
by that line little more than year

best, and will leave St. Paul on Train
No. at a. m. daily, except Sunday,
Minneapolis at o:35 a. M, arriving at
St. Louis Union Depot at 7:15 a. m.
the following morning.
AS with the through sleeping car
now running on No. E, "The North
Star Limited" the above service will
be very popular and convenient for
Worlds Fair visitors. The train will
arrive at Worlds Fair Station (oppo-
site main entrance to grounds) at ?
a. n., thus obviating the necessity and
inconvenience to passengers of going
into the Union Depot and return, as
we'll as the saving OF at least two hours

ing plant, was blown 20 feet into the
canal. He was rescued from the water
and taken to his home, Thirty-fourth

A gasoline torch carried into the ex-

have ignited an accumulation of sewer
gas, causing the disaster.
The force of the explosion was ter
rifle. 1t wrecked the temporary pump
ing plant adjacent, erected by the city;

missiles over radius of a hundred feet,

TO SUCCEED KNOX.
Secretary Moody to Be Appointed At
torney General When Va
cancy Occurs.

Washington, June 14.-William H.
Moody. secretary of the navy will be
appointed by President Roosevelt as at
torney general, to succeed Mr.. Knox,
who has been appointed senator from
Pennsylvania. This appointment will
not be made for two or three months, or
probably not until after the election.
Mr.. Moody desires to resume the prac-
tice of law, and some time ago made
known his intention to retire from the
cabinet for that purpose. His work in
the navy department has not been en-
tirely congenial to the Massachusetts
man, and his transfer to the department
of justice may induce him to remain in
the cabinet until the end of the present
administration. 1t is not improbable,
however. that he may retire sooner, but
it is certain he will not serve longer
than March 4, even in the event of the
election of President Roosevelt.

ABNER M'KINLEY DEAD.
Brother of the Late President Expires
Suddenly at His Home in
Pennsylvania.

Somerset, Pa, June 13.-Abner Nc
Kinley, brother of the late president,
was found dead in chair in his home
at eight o'clock Saturday morning. His
death came without warning to his
family. His colored servant, who slept
in his room, was up with him at two
o'clock, and it is not known at what
time Mr. Mckinley got up again, as he
did not waken his servant. Mrs. Nc
Kinley walked into his room at eight
O'Clock and found him sitting in chair
cold and apparently dead. A physician
was summoned, who said death had
probably occurred two or three hours
before. A widow and one daughter sur
vive him.
Mr.. McKinley's death was due to
Bright's disease, which developed
shortly after the death of his dis
tinguished brother, three years ago.
Since then Mr.. Mckinley has devoted
nearly all his time in vain attempt
to overcome the fatal malady, consult
ing the most eminent physicians, and
travelling from one climate to another.
Abner Mckinley, brother Of the late
President Mckinley, was born in Ohio
He was the son of William and Nancy
Campbell Mckinley. He was admitted
to the bar in New York and Ohio and
practieed law in Canton until 1897, when
he removed to New York, becoming at
torney for several large corporations,
with an Office at So Broadway. He was
member of the Union League and Law
yers' clubs, and was prominent figure
in New York society and in Washing
ton during his brothers occupancy of
the white house. Abner Mckinley, both
in person and in character, bore 4
marked resemblance to the president.

Syracuse, Kan, June 11.-Ninety-
eight deported Victor (Col.) miners,
sent out from their state on special
train in charge of half hundred Col
orado militiamen, were literally
dumped into Kansas Saturday, and left
destitute upon the prairie.
The miners had been placed on the
train, which was special made up
by the authorities in control in the
disturbed Colorado town, and in
charge of well-armed militiamen start
ed for the east late Friday. At La
Junta, COL, where the first stop was
made, the cars were closely guarded.
The miners were not permitted to
leave the cars, nor were any Of the
hundred or SO men who gathered at
the station allowed to communicate
with them.
When point in Kansas half mile
east of the Colorado state line was
reached early Saturday a halt was
made. 1t was deserted spot on
the wild prairie, with no railway
station, eating house nor farmers
house within several miles.
Without delay the men were disem-

men, and the train started west with
the militiamen, leaving the miners to
make their way to some habitation as
best they might.
While the miners were deciding upon
what they were to do, Sheriff Jack
Brady, of Hamilton county, Kan, and
40 armed deputies arrived on the
scene and ordered the unhappy men
back to Colorado. Three of the
miners had already started east afoot.
The others retraced their steps at the
command of the Kansas officers along
the railroad track westward. After a
long, weary tramp, they struggled into
Holly, COL, small town near the
Colorado-Kansas boundary, where
they were furnished food at the big
Salvation Army station located there.

murder were drawn up Friday against
