and members of the press to visit the
fair at st. Louis Before returning to
their homes. Senator Depew started
to read the invitation from his seat, but
MT the demand of delegates and sp0cta-
tors he mounted the platform. There
he passed the invitation over to q
clerk to read. When it was concluded
Chairman Root suggested that the SEN
ator might want to make few re-
marks. The suggestion was accepted,
and in recommending that the invita-
ton be accepted Senator Depew said
the Democrats are claiming the credit
of gaining an empire psaceably on the
ground that the party through Jeffer-
son had bought the land. The Repub-
licans, he said, had titled 1t and were
going to share the harvest. The speech
was received with favor and the inyi-
| tation accepted.
There is a practically unanimous be-
lief that the Indiana senator will be
chosen. There has been some commu-
nication with Representative Hit, and
| he has been informed of the situation.
1t is expected that he will authorize

Contractors in Controversy Over New
Grade OF Road.

INV" SIVis III controversy over New
Grade of Road.
AS a result of the repairing of the
road between j. j. Kielty's store and
Tue postoffice, more or less serious
controversy is reported to have sprung
up between the contractors who have
IN hand the work of raising and re.
setting the Homer Heminway barn 1t
Is said that in raising the barn so as 10
bring 1T on level with the newly
graded road the contractor shifted the
barn so that when the new foundation
Is completed 1t will not be directly
plumb with the building. AS stated
above, this fact has caused a disp~te
Detween the two contractors as to
which one should retrace his steps and
Degin his work so as to have it conform
with the work of the other. This, If is
said, each one refuses to do, so that
contractors and owner are at present
at loggerheads.

a Great Fight Between
Rival Monsters of the Deep.

Christiania, Feb. 6.-The captain Of
a government vessel cruising between
Iceland and Greenland reports fight
between an immense whale and an oc-
topus, witnessed in the part of the Po-
lar sea known as Danengatt.
1.-THE lookout reported a whale
says the captains letter. "and when
we steamed towards the point, we met
Ma, most unusual sight. A pott-whale
was dancing wildly on the surface of
the ssea, sending UP fountains Of water
and blood. For ten minutes the big
monster jumped about like q dolphin,
throwing himself from one side to the
other, diving and hurrying to the sur
face again. Finally, he turned over
and was apparently dead.
Investigation showed that the head
of the whale, some fifty feet in length
was ripped open, the wound measur-
ing sixteen feet. The mouth, too, was
frightfully injured, evidently by the
arms of an octopus. Deep wounds
and decorations were likewise found
upon the whole length of the whales
body. 1t looked as tho the great fish
had suffered the embrace Of his enemy
several times. The octopus that killed
him was evidently one of the larges
i chat ever came to the surface. W.

water from the East Side pump which

trouble and is now undertaking a re-

The cold is keenly felt on the open
surface of the river. The pumping
apparatus which supplies air to the
diver is housed and a big stove is used
to warm the air to be pumped to the
man beneath the water. Three men

nails from the diver and to keep the

Each morning it has been necessary
to clear the opening of the ice formed
during the night. Lund is beneath
the ice at a time when the mercury is
registering 10 and IL degrees below
zero at the surface. It is a perilous
task but Lund does not think If that.
He is seeking to give relief to q part
Of the city where the death rate from
typhoid fever has been abnormal dur

tLOVE SHOULD BEAR THE UNION LABEL"

Miss Mauro in her talk at the labor
mass meeting at Druids' hall last
night said:
A union girl should not even speak to
a nonunion man. If all union girls would
find out first whether or not man be-
longed to the union before they entertained
him. and if he did not would refuse to
recognize him, then the men wouldn't be
long in joining the union.
Men who work at trades or professions
where there are no unions should be en-
couraged by the girls to patronize union
houses and buy only union goods. Even
then if man didn't belong to any union
or organization he could in that way show
that he was a. union man at heart. Where
there is a possibility of organizing union
the girls ought to insist that their sweet
hearts or men friends organize one.
