whose clothing and hair were all
ablaze. She ran quickly through the
diningroom into the street and fell
unconscious upon the sidewalk Many

effort was made to extinguish the
flames and relieve her sufferings. She
was terribly burned, however, before
the flames were put out. Her cloth

hair upon her head. So deeply was
her flesh burned that when an at
tempt was made to lift her, great
pieces of 1t fell from her body. Physi-

Young of Huron, S. d., made his es-

Slack, who had been arrested at San

property in Dakota, is consumptive,

his escape. For that reason it is feared
he may have lain down to die in the

The Threatened Bolt.

The counsel of Mr.. Blythe prevailed
at the August day convention in Des
Moines and there was no bolt.
But the danger of an organized bolt
is not past. None appreciate this
fact better than the Des Moines Reg
lister aud Leader, chief supporter OF
Gov. Cummins. 1t devoted column
aud three-Quarters Of It's space in Mon
days issue to a citation Of reasons
why there should be no bolt. 1t reach
ed the crux Of the whole matter in
this: g
HLowa has had g tie vote in the
house in less troubulous times than
these and could have democratic
majority without the least trouble
under circumstances 1t is not difficult
to foresee. II is worth while to specu.
late on what a democratic majority IN
the house might mean in certain not
fmposstb BILE contingencies. Surprising
the coming legislature should have
two vacancies Ia the United States
senate to I'LL and tho democrats should
be In command of the situation
Would it be at all impossible to con
calve Of vote that would land a.
least one democrat In the Unitec
States senate?"
The Des Moines Register and Lead
er NAV not know it. but 1t has stated
the reason why the enemies of Gov
Cummins in the republican party will
bolt. At che risk Of seeming tndeli'
cate and unsympathetic, there must
be frankness in newspapers which
profess to serve the news. The convic.
tion grows that Senator Allison will
never attend ano other session OF the
senate. He has lost forty pounds In
weight and there is no prospect of bis
recovery. His removal from tie SEN
ate would mean, If not before or dur
ing the next session Of the Legislature,
the appointment OF bis successor by
ttle governor. Governor Cummins, II
elected along with Garst, would be
Senator AlliSon's successor. Cummins
would resign as governor al
Garst would appoint him to the va
cancy.
Cummins will never go to the senate
il simple thing like bolt will keel
him out. That bolt 10 present anc
coming every day, and as the new
spreads, will grow. There may be nj
pyrotechnics attending it, and M
band. But 1t will be soon sweeping
with fury nevertheless.
Why should the prospect of one
democratic senator deter bolt sc
long as his election would effect tt
keep Cummins from achieving hiE
ambition? For the democrat at best
would have only single term and al
its expiration a republican Legislature
would elect republican other thar
Gummins.
The opportunity of thwarting Cum
minis ambition is too attractive tt
