DEATH OF SENATOR VEST

Senator George sGraham Vest
whose death had been daily and
almost hourly expected, for the
past two weeks, passed quietly
away ut his Sweet Springs home
last Tuesday morning ut five
o'clock. Senator Vest was one of
MissOuri's brightest inteIlects ms
we'll rs one of its most distinguished
and honOred citiZeus. He was
elected to the United States Senate
in 1879, and for four consecutive
terms--R quarter OF n century
served in that body, where he was
recognized as one Of its greatest
men. He was Il man of wonderful
intellectual force and rare forensic
ability, an incompatible and ready
dcbater, and one who always cap
tivated his auditors with the Gle
gance of his diction, the clearness
of his arguments, the humor of his
wit and the incision of his biting
sarcasm. 1t was these rare gifts
that lifted Senator Vest into
prominence and by which he main
tanned his position against all com.
ers, for he was not in the common
acceptation of the term a political
manipulater or what is known as
"a good mixer" with the people.
In his passing Missouri and the
Nation loses one of its great men.

had been detailed to the excursion.
Van Tassell was on the main deck,
while Kilt was on duty on the upper
deck forward.
Van Tassell was one Of the first to
reach the mainland from North Broth

what he believed to be an explosion,
everybody screamed and some men as

few minutes later the upper deck gave

Patrolman Kilt had similar ex-
perience. He said he tried to quiet
the passengers on this deck but could
not and when the decks gave way he
fell into the water with them, swim

Tassel pulled a number of persons
from the water.
Rev. George c. F. Haas, pastor Of
the church, was saved, but his wife
Gertrude and his daughter, Anna, are
among the dead. Mr.. Haas told this
story Of the disaster:

WISCONSIN FIGHT
IS TO THE DEATH
Continued from First Page.

This seems to suggest that the ma
tional committee is to hear the case,

vored in many influential quarters.
1t IS confidently predicted by the
inner circle that the committee will
decide in favor Of the "stalwarts."
cabinet, who is also the acting chair
man Of the committee, and a man who
has rendered the party distinguished
services in several hard-fought ma
tional campaigns, and with both
United States senators and the most
of the state delegation in the house
of representatives, including the chair
man Of the republican congressional
committee, on one side of the case,
that side, before word of testimony
has been taken, will have a decided
advantage over the other, which is led
by the governor almost single handed,
so far as prominent men are con-
cerned. There is further a well-de-
fined belief here that the "stalwarts'
have a preponderance Of right on their
side.
"Stalwarts" Confident.
The "stalwarts' seem confident Of
success-unless the president should
interfere. They say that tremendous

leaders. If the president should in
tervene~ the half breeds may win.
But such Intervention would cost the
president dear, If one may believe
what the "stalwarts' are saying. They
insist that this is not the president s
fight, but that if he should see fit to
become a party to it, they will let the
half breeds" carry Wisconsin for
him. Such a threat, if carried out,
would probably lose Wisconsin to the
republicans.
There is so much bad blood on the
part of the "stalwarts," who are first
on the ground, that one finds it diff
real meaning. They are saying the
most extravagant and incorporate
things, and this does their cause nc
good among those inclined to take a
judicial view of the contest. When

1t has been suggested that If the ma

! ticket and permit the half breeds
to have a clear field. Such a program

Mr.. Coles Opinion.

It is the opinion of Thomas F.
Cole, president of the mining de-
partment of the United States Steel
corporation, that the iron and steel
business of this country will grow
until it has attained wonderful
dimensions. He believes the time
not far distant when America will
make twice as much steel as now
and when every mine in the Lake
Superior country, including pro-
ducers of all grades of ore, will be
working full handed. Just now, he
states, there is no question that the
business is unsatisfactory, and that
little time will be needed to set it
going at it's former pace. President
Cole says that the policy of the
Steel corporation has been to keep
prices on a standard basis. When
prices, in time of unprecedented
demand, might have been greatly
increased, it was insisted by the
directors that there should be no
advance.
