O'Connor, a Burlington section man, is
dead as a result of drinking a quantity

explosive had been left by burglars in
the rear of Robert McNish's saloon,

loon and sat on the steps, where he died
a few minutes later. Those who first
discovered the partially filled bottle did
not know its contents. 1t was yellow

FLOOD CONDITIONS BAD.
River at Wilkesbarre Is 80 Feet 6 Inches
Above Low Mar.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. March 1.-THE
lood situation here is more serious
thar yesterday. At 8 today the river
was 80 feet 6 inches above low water
mark. The river is clear OF ice in this
vicinity but the big gorge at Nanti-
coke emains intact.
The temperature has fallen twenty
degrees within the last five hours. This
should bring some relief. River street,
the main residential t~horoughfare, is
under three feet of water and resi-
dents are greatly alarmed.
The pressrooms of the newspapers
are fooded and 1t was with difficulty
that today's editions could be issued.
People living in the lowlands who
remained in the homes thinking the
worst over had to be rescued by the
police in boats early today. Practical
ly the same conditions prevail all along
the river SO far as Danville, fifty miles
below here, and the loss Of property
will be greater than that sustained in
any previous flood. No town along
the river front has escaped.

PETTIGREW'S CALL.
Former Senator Tells President Rose
bud Lands Are Worth Not Over
81 Of Dor Acre
SIPS Per Acre.

Washington, March 10.-EX-Senator
Pettigrew had a conference with the
president today on the bill for opening
the Rosebud reservation. He spoke for
a number Of South Dakota citizens. He
opposed the plan Of the president for
selling the lands at auction, and said
the price now fixed in the bill, So an
acre, was too high. He thought 81. 25
an acre was enough, as the land. he
says, is grass land.
Discussing politics, he said Roosevelt
would be renominated, but the cleo
ton was an uncertainty. With the
scandals nov in the air he believed
there was much reason to regard the
situation as favorable for a good demo-
cratic candidate and platform. He said
he was for Hearst, but would uphold
any good nominee not a republican.

Chicago, March 11.-Judginent was
rendered in circuit court today against
the Chicago, Rock Island II Pacific
railway company, commanding produc-
ton OF the company's books and the
minutes of the stockholders meetings
showing the contracts II terms by
which Moore brothers and their aSSo-
GATES secured control OF the Rock ISL
and. The judgment is in the case of G..
H. Nenner, of Boston, representing the
minority stockholders.
A complete investigation of the Rock
Island deal will expose the most re-
markable of all latter-day operations in
haute finance. The Moore crowd got
control of the Rock Island when it had
less than 1000 miles Of road; vested its
operation in an Iowa operating COM
pany; expanded, bought, leased and an
pany and it's ownership in a New Jer-
Sey holding expanded,
bought, leased and annexed till
