nv A,sooiate,1 Press.

BY Associated Press.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. 10
The legislature today in joint session
took the third ballot for United States
senator without result, and then ad-
journed euntil tomorrow. The third
ballot stood: Thomas K Niedringhaus,
81; Francis M. Cockrell, 81; r. Z.
Kerens, 6; DR.. Pettijohn, 8; total, Ill.
Necessary to choice, Sc.
This was a loss of four votes for
Niedringhaus since yesterday.
Richardson, who voted for Niedring-
haus Yesterday, voted today with Kirk
ham for Dr. Pettijohn Hatfield, who
voted for Kerens, voted for Pettijohn
today. Two Democrats and two Re-
publicans were paired, while Me-
dringhaus man was absent being ILL.,
Vice Chairman Boutwell, issued a call
today for the meeting of the Republi-
can state committee Monday afternoon
to consider the situation.
In view of the continuance of the
deadlock the names of Gardner Lath-
rope of Kansas City and Cyrus p. Wal
bridge, former mayor of st. Louis, are
mentioned today as possible compro-
mise candidates.
1t is stated today on the authority of
Kerens lieutenant that the fight is
not on Thomas K. Niedringhaus, but
on Thomas J. Atkins and that unless
Niedringhaus repudiates the national
committeeman he must stand defeat.
National Committeeman Atkins is now
in Jefferson City.
Eight members of the legislature
who voted against T. K. Niedringhaus
today for United States senator, to-
night gave out long statement in
which they justify their action.
They say that it behooves the Re-
publican party of Missouri to elect a
senator who is free from suspicion in
any way. The statement then reviews
the charges against Mr.. Niedringhaus
in connection with contribution of
$4,000 by st. Louis brewers to the Re-
publican campaign fund, and contin-
ues:
1--WE feel that it would be a great
injustice to the Republicans of this
state to elect any man to the exalted
position of United States senator
whose name is tainted in this manner"
The statement protests against the
activity of the federal office holders of
Missouri in Mr.. Niedringhaus behalf,
and declares that the eight members
will continue to vote against him.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 19-The
ceremony of the blessing of the waters
this year was accompanied by an event
more mysterious, unprecedented and
extraordinary than any afforded by
the annals of Russian history.
For a Russian sovereign to fall by
the hand of an assassin is no new
thing in Russian records, but that the
Emperor should narrowly escape death
from a shot from his own artillery
while he was engaged in a solemn re-
ligious rite, surrounded by priests of
his own church is so difficult to realize
as to be almost incredible. Yet this
is what happened today and the Rus
sian public is left wondering and mys-
tilted.
By the merest chance the imperial
family escaped unhurt but public opin-
ion is stunned by what might have
been the tragic results of the affair.

A Victim of Fanaticism is Crucified in
Colorado.
On the cross, just as the Savior died
centuries ago, fanatical member of
the Penitentes is reproted to have died
last Friday at Torres, Las Animas
county, Colorado.
According to the report current the
victim was nailed to a cross of his
own formation and died in agony that
he did not seem to feel, wrought up as
he was to delirium of religious fervor.
The story of the crucifxion is
vouched for by Henry D. Robinson,
an automobile agent of Trinidad, who
saw crowd of Mexicans who had
been eyewitnesses and were discussing
the tragic scene. ..: -.
In the old days, so it is said, the
carrying out of an actual crucifixion
was not uncommon among the Peni-
tentes, but it was supposed to have
been abandoned long ago, although
it is known that the practice of self
torture is still carried out among the
members of the order during holy

Should Look Into the Boxes.

In reply to inquiries from patrons
on rural delivery routes as to whether
carriers are obliged to examine the
boxes to ascertain whether or not they
contain mail for collection the depart
ment at Washington says:
"You are advised that the rule of
the department requires rural letter
carriers to examine such boxes as have
the signals attached thereto raised. in
dicating mail to dispatch, and also
are required to examine all boxes
which are not provided with signals
for mail dispatch. It is very desir-
able that patrons boxes which are not
provided with signals be supplied with
some device and it need not neces-
sarily be elaborate or costly, whereby
the patrons by displaying the same
can indicate to the carrier that there
is no mail in the box for dispatch
thus obviating the necessity of the
carrier examining all the boxes, great
numbers of which contain no mail, in
order that mail for dispatch may be
promptly collected. If patrons would
adopt this suggestion it would relieve
carriers of a great deal of hardship
and result in the betterment of the SER

given to the memory of Mrs. Kaliher
than to say that through all her life she
has been respected and beloved by her
acquaintances and friends and that she
has trained her large family to walk
in the way they should go, so that
they are now highly respected young

were played according to the rules of

The defense interposed a demurrer,
alleging, among other things, that
plaintiff did not state cause of CON-
plaint sufficient to base an action on,
that there was an improper joinder of
several causes of action. The Mobiles

murrer and the supreme court without

the case, sustained the lower court.
