Quilted BY FIRE.
Iowa's State Capitol Is Badly
Damaged.
The Northwest Wing of the Structure
Destroyed - Building was SUPP
posed TO be Fireproof-Loss
About 100000 - origin
of Fire Unknown.

Des Moines, Ia, San. 5.-Fire yes
terday gutted the northwest wing of
the Iowa capitol, causing a loss of
100000. The chamber of the house
of representatives is charred mass
of debris and cannot be repaired in
time for the approaching session of
the legislature At one time it was
thought that the entire building was
doomed, and Gov. Cummins ordered
the contents of all the Offices re-
moved. 1t was announced last night
that the convening of the Legislature
would not be postponed, but it would
meet next Monday in temporary
quarters.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and Gov. Cummins will order an in
vestigation. The supposition is that
it started from candle or from an
electric light wire.
The fire originated near shaft in
a committee room and spread upward
and all around the ceilings of the
chamber.
The fire department was hindered
in fighting the flames by the height
of the building and the elevation of
the capitol They worked only to cut
off the progress of the flames.
The gallery of the house chamber
fell with a crash, the debris injuring
two firemen and endangering the
lives of several The state library
was hastily removed and the state
offices were emptied.
The funds of the state treasurer
were hastily loaded on a wagon and
carried to bank.
Gov. Cummins, clad in rubber boots
and rough coat, fought the fire. The
fire finally burned itself out.
The capitol presents a scene of des-
olation. The marble staircases are
covered with ice, the floors are flow
ing with water and the offices under
the burned part of the building are
flooded. The Iowa capitol is built
along the lines of the New York cap
itol at Albany. 1t cost $3,OOO,OO0. The
state capitol commission had just
completed the repair of the building
at cost of $125.O0O, most of which
had been expended in the chamber
which is ruined.
The building was supposed 70 be
fireproof, but the use of several false
ceilings furnished material for
flames.

Charles a. Towne and Congressman
De Almond. EX-Congressman Bourke
Cochran, who acted as toastmaster,
introduced as the first speaker Mayor
Mcclellan.
Mr.. Olney was then introduced as
diplomatist who had never followed
the policy of wandering around the
world seeking quarrels with weaker
nations, and as the pride of New
England, but enthroned in the hearts
of all his countrymen." He made a
speech in which he said Grover Cleve-
land was the logical candidate for
president.
Gov. Montague, of Virginia, follow
ed Mr.. Olney.
EX-Gov. David b. Hill was greeted
with loud applause when in his intro
ductory remarks he eulogized the
leadership of Charles f. Murphy and
predicted that Mayor Mcclellan would
be governor of the state and finally
go to the White House. He made
bitter attack on President Roose-
welt.
Mr., Hill was followed by Congress-
man De Almond and ex-senator
Towne, both of whom spoke en-
Enthusiastically on the democratic out
look. At the conclusion of his ad-
dress, Mr.. De Almond read message
of greeting from William j. Bryan,
sent by wireless telegraph from the
White Star liner Celtic, on which Mr..
Bryan is passenger, returning from
Europe.
The message, which was received
when the Celtic was off the Nova
Scotian coast, read:
civilian j. Bryan sends greetings
to the democrats assembled at
Sherry's. l wish you a happy new
year and hope you will have bril-
liant success. My heart is with you.
Do not forget the western democrats
who polled 6,5OO,OO0 votes in 1900"

ureH 10 Prevent importation OF Me-
groes.
Connellsville, Pa, Jan. 5-Five hun
dred striking miners of the Mer-
chants Coal Co., in Somerset county,
gathered at Garrett Sunday night and
held up a special train carrying about
60 negroes to the Boswell mines of
the company on the Berlin branch of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The
train ran as a third section of the
Duquesne limited and it was almost
midnight when it approached the sta
ton at McFadden. The strikers
would not permit the operators in
the tower to throw the switches and
it was some time before, the train
was permitted to go through. When
it reached Garrett, where connections
are made, the men had gathered fully
500 strong. The switches were nailed
down and under but one considera-
ton were the men willing to permit
the engines and cars to be switched
upon the Berlin branch. This consid-
Grafton was that the cars be
emptied.
BY this time the negroes were in a
terrible state of excitement and
many of them jumped through the
windows and made off. After several
hours parleying and the sending of
many messages to headquarters the
train was sent on to lockwood with
the few remaining negroes in the
coaches. The miners made no at
tempt to injure the negroes, but
were determined that their importa-
ton into the field should not be ac-
complished. The miners have been
out since December 16, when they
refused to accept reduction in
wages.

A VICTORY FOR DIETRICH.
The Indictment Charging Conspiracy
to RrIbe Us Qunshed.

Omaha, Jan. 5.-At the beginning
yesterday the trial of United States
Senator Charles H. Dietrich, Judge
Nandeventer in sustaining de-
murrer by defendants counsel in eff
feet quashed the leading indictment
of conspiracy to violate the statute
against bribery. On this Indictment
the government had prepared itself
for trial and subpoenaed a large
number of witnesses. Indictments
charging the senator with profiting
by the leasing of building for the
United States government while a
member of congress, and charging
him directly with bribery in connec-
ton with the appointment of a post
master at Hastings, Neb., still stand.
Senator Dietrich was charged with
alleged conspiracy with Jacob Fisher,
postmaster at Hastings, Neb., to vio-
late the statute against bribery, and
with direct violation of the bribery
law. Gen. Gown, counsel for Sena-
tor Dietrich, fled demurrer to the
conspiracy Indictment, attacking it's
sufficiency and alleging that it would
have the effect of placing the senator
on trial twice on the same charge.
This point was bitterly contested by
opposing counsel

! Summary

These results were deemed so i'm
portant by the Commission, that it
communicated the same officially to
Governor VI h;le, with the expressed
hope of saving the state the large
sum of money, winch would be le
quired to ,.ake The Survey of Marion,
Monongslia, and Wetzel ceunt es,
authorized by act OF the last Legis
lature.
The Commission TO make this
Survey has just received its appoint
men f.om the Governor, and since
the areas in question, a-certalned by
the impartial engineers of the U Sc.
Survey, must be absolutely accurate,
and much more detailed than re.
quired by the Leglslature( since they
give the areas of each district in
each county, separately, there would
seem 10 be no sufficient reason whv
the results of this Survey should not
be accepted by all parties to the
Augusta county controversy, and
thus large sum OF money be saved
to the State Treasury, as well as to
the treasures of the different coun-
ties affected thereby
The plans of the State Geologist
for carrying on the work OF the
Survey during the year 1904, were
fully approved by the Commission.

The First SIS Bill.

The first s. greenback issued by

since 1864 has been the heirloom OF a
prominent family. Its age has To-
creased its value greatly. This is also
true 10 regard to Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t was introduced fifty years
ago, and because it positively cures
stomach, liver aud bowel disorders it
is valued more highly than any other
remedy. Those who have once tried
1t always keep bottle on hand to
cure dyspepsia, nausea, Indigestion,
dizziness, heartburn, insomnia, chills,
colds or malaria. Sickly women, too,
realize its wonderful value as a health
maker and regulator. BE sure to try

TRAIN NO. 1wRECkED.
Ran Into String Of Freight Cars
Tuesday Near Pittsburg.

Passenger train No. from Nor
gantowr to Pittsburg had small
wreck near the Soho bridge, Pitts
burg, Tuesday morning, in which
Engineer F. A. Leiberger, whose
home is in Connellsville, was slight
ly injured. Some cars were lett on
the track by shifting crew and the
iiagman was back only few car
lengths when No. l came around a
curve. Engineer Leiberger got his
train slowed down to about Is miles
per hour and jumped just as his
engine struck the first car, which
was loaded with eggs.
He was slightly cut and bruised.
The flagman was responsible for the
wreck, not being back the required
distance. None of the passengers or
other trainmen were hurt 10 the
smashup. The engine on No. was
pretty badly battered up and de
rallied.
