Denver. Colo, Sept. 14.-Not to be
influenced by any thought of the pro-
verbal i'll luck of Friday. the republi-
cans of Colorado assembled in conven-
ton in Denver today to name state
ticket which they are sure will be sue
cessful at the polls in November. A
total of nearly 900 delegates were in
their seats when the convention was
formally called to order in the Broad
way theatre at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. The forenoon was taken up with
the opening addresses. roll call, COM
mittee appointments and other bust
ness of a perfunctory nature. The
nominations will hardly be reached
before late this afternoon or evening.
The nominations to be made are for

NO Surrender on our banner. We
are ready to be stripped of every
thing and II that Is done we will be-
gin all over again and evangelize
France as the Apostles did"
The French are willing martyrs If
needs be-" continued the archbishop.
NO man can be a more willing martyr
than the Frenchman. They are being
martyred every day in the East. You
know that a few bad men can make
more noise than a whole city. 1t is
all nonsense to suppose that there is
no faith In France. The bad element
among the laity at the head of the
government have encouraged all this
confiscation of church property that
they might benefit thereby. 1 will give
you an instance:
"A group of men made $4,000 900
francs by the confiscation of the con-
vent of the Sacred Heart alone. This
confiscattOn business is simply a game
of stealing on the part of irreligious
men not even Christians"
The distinguished prelate visited
Rome, Ireland and France. Speaking
OF Pope Plus, Archbishop Farely said:
Il was much impressed by the
tremendous vigor of the Holy Father.
Dispatches have painted him as being
dying, but found him showing pow
ers of resistance under the stress of
his duties. He is a wonderful man,
physically and mentally.
I'm ireland / spent four weeks

surprises! 1t had been IA years since

believed that country would show such
material improvement in that time.

character, devoted fealty to country
and home and the courageous qualities
OF the martyr whose statue served to
inspire the sentences.
The monument unveiled today takes
first rank for artistic beauty among
the many that have been exerted a
the memory of President Mckinley.
The memorial consists of three central
figures, two groups and the statue of
the president, in the middle. On one
side Is Peace" and on the other "Pros-
perity," representing in bronze two
cardinal principles for which the dead
president stood. When he received the
wounds which resulted in his death,
he was talking prosperity and peace.
The statue represents him as he an
peared standing before the people at
Buffalo, and large part of the text
of his last address is in relief. The
statue is warmly commended by those
who were most closely acquainted with
Mr.. Mckinley. 1t was with some diff
ficulty and only after months of study
that the sculptor felt satisfied that he
truly reproduced the president in the
pose that was characteristic of him
and one so we'll known to the people of
the entire country.
The group of Peace portrays a child
and Its mother, in an easy pose, ap-
parently listening to what the speaker
Is saying. 1t is a bronze statue of a
typical American woman. The figure
of Prosperity shows toiler and an
apprentice, both listening to the re-
marks of the president. The statue
-of the president and the two groups
are of bronze and the entire memorial
stands upon handsome granite base,
the sides of which bear suitable in
scriptions. The location of the monu-
ment is conspicuous one, being di-
rectly In front of the main entrance
to the state capitol.

beat me-" said Wheeler. HE did not
touch me, or offer to fight me. In
stead of beating me he was thrown on
his back and beaten by a woman-Mrs.
Newton, a cousin of his wife. Mrs.
Newton, Mrs. Rivers. Dr. Weber and
myself were in the alley. The doctor
and l made bet that the one who
scored the first strike would kiss the
women. Rivers arrived Just after a
strike, and he misunderstood the sit
uatiOn. His talk was offensive to Mrs.
Newton, and she revenged herself on
him."
When Rivers heard this statement
of Wheler's he became indignant, and
avowed he would tell all. He said he
looked through the window and saw
his wife and Wheeler embracing and
kissing" He asserted he ordered
Wheeler out, land when he didn't get
out as fast as I wanted I seized him
by the throat and started to throw
him out" Then. he said, the two
women pcunced on him. II was hit
by bowling balls. pins and everything
else," he said. when | came to my
senses my collar was torn OFF, my era
vat was missing, my shirt was torn
and l was In tatters."
Rivers then made his allegations
about Wheeler's pictures in Mrs. Riv-
ers' bedroom. my wife," he said, has
one big picture of Wheeler facing the
bed. On the wall there is row of four
pictures. First is the picture of Wheel
er in citizens clothes, then my daugh-
ter Midgie, and then Wheeler in uni
form. Time after time I tore Wheel
er's photographs to pieces, but always
there were new pictures to take their
place."
Williams denied that Wheeler was
spiritualist, or that spiritualism had
in any way entered into the case. He
also said that Williams believed an at
tempt was being made to blackmail
him.

RATES HANDED OVER
Northern Pacific Surrenders to
Railroad Commission Its
Coal Rate Agreement.

Associated Psess 10 The Evening Times
st. Paul. Sept. 14.-The contract
which the railroad and warehouse
commission some time ago demanded
from the Northern Pacific railroad. and
which shows the agreement with that
road and the ST. Paul road for carry
Ing coal from the head of the lakes to
st. Paul, was today filed with the
commission.
The demand for this contract was
originally made by James Manahan,
attorney for the shippers of Hastings,
Mr.. Manahan demanded that this con-
tract be produced at the hearing. which
has been set for Sept. 81.
But the counsel for the St. Paul
road. F. w. Root, objectedsto the filing
OF this contract as evidence. Mr.. Man.
ahan claimed that the Northern Pacific
was carrying coal from Duluth to St.
Paul for the Milwaukee road at so
cents ton and. if that were true, then
the rate of $1.O5 to $1.25. which the
shippers of Hastings are paying, was
excessive.
The matter was referred to Attorney
General Young. who, a short time ago,
secured subpoena from Judge Hal
lam. of the Ramsey county bench. is
sued out to Richard H. Relf. assistant
secretary of the Northern Pacific. who
was the custodian of the contract be-
tween the roads.
The orders of the subpoena were to-
day followed by the appearance of Mr..
Relf at the office of the commission,
and it seems that the Northern Pacific
did not risk being in contempt of the
order of the court, for which it would
be liable to fine.
Yet the railroad and warehouse COM
mission decided today not to divulge
to the public the contents OF the con-
tract before the hearing of Sept 21.
This the commission thought was JUS
tice to Attorney Root. who has object
ed to the contract as evidence in the
.case, claiming that rate contract be-
tween ST. Paul and Duluth is immat-
erial evidence in a rate controversy
between Duluth and Hastings.
Mr.. Root will be given an opportun-
ity to be heard as to whether the con-
tract is material evidence or not. and
the commission ruled today that the
public must wait until he is heard.
before it will know what is the ex-
listing agreement between the two
roads.

the preceding day the attention of the
whole world was centered on the Mil
burn house at Buffalo. from which
bulletins were issued in the afternoon
announcing that President Mckinley
was sinking. Vice President Roose-
velt who, like the rest of the public,
mad been led to believe by the ply
slcians' reports earlier in the week
that the president would recover, had
gone on a trip in the New England
mountains. When he received word
that there had been a turn for the
worse in the presidents condition he
hurried on to Buffalo and arrived lust
De1ore the end came. In the middle
OF the afternoon, shortly after the mar
tyred president had answered the final
summons, President Roosevelt was
sworn into office by Secretary of State
Day.

Fargo Forum: United States Dis
trict Attorney Rourke and Assistant
United States District Attorney Town
send. after consultation this morning,
decided to issue subpoenas in as many
criminal cases as it was thought could
be tried within two weeks time. 1t
is the intention to devote the first
two weeks of the term of the federal
court, which opens here Sept. 25 to the
trial of criminal cases. Then the civil
cases will be taken up.
1t is possible that after the civil
cases are disposed of more criminal
cases will be taken up, but this has
not been definitely decided upon as
yet. 1t is not probable that the grand
jury will be summoned during the
term.
The most important cases for trial
are the government against Joseph
w. Bristow, Drags Wolf and two 9TH
er Indians, Andrew B. Martin, Peter
NORM and a number of Indians.
Bristow is charged with the murder
of an Indian on the Standing Rock
reservation but, because of the :sact
that he was released on his own rec
ognizance soon after he was arrested,
it is not supposed that the govern
ment has much hope of securing a
conviction.
Drags Wolf and two Indian COM
panions are charged with assaulting
an Indian policeman on the Fort
Berthold reservation nearly year
ago. Drags Wolf, it is claimed, was
the leader in the assault of the police
man, who was left for dead after he
had killed one of his assailants and
had been himself seriously injured.
The row between the Indians and the
policeman was the result of a sun
dance.
Hanson is charged with embezzling
postoffice funds. He was connected

POOR MARKMANSH|P
Last Night at Fargo Frank
Lake Indulged In Prac-
tice Fire.

Fargo, Sept. 14.-Fearing that old
trusty might get cold joints if not
pressed into use, Frank Lake, probably
the best known character in all Fargo,
who is already held to the district
court on two separate charges, being
out on bail, got busy yesterday morn
ing and gave the people in the hollow
district another opportunity to smell
smoke that is more appropriately kept
corked in cartridges. The most pallid
silence reigned in the district of glim-
mering lights and it is stated that
some of the crimson colored globes
turned pale.
1t was in the neighborhood of 4
o'clock in the morning and it was but
short time after that when every
one in the hollow district knew that
Frank Lane was abroad and probably
thirsty. 1t is possible that being held
for two shooting scrapes that he want
ed to make it real good and play the

Franks hand was Just little un-
steady this time, however. and If he
was shooting at anyone in particular
the bullet went wide. for it was foun1
in pest later in tha day. The police
went down yesterday morning and
made inquiry into the affair. Lake
stated that some one had smashed in
two windows before he opened the
bcmbardment. The windows had every
appearance of having come into forci-
BILE contact with cord wood stick, but
whether there had been a mix-up in
side or whether some of Franks
friends who were passing wanted to
play a joke on him hasn't been estab-
lfshed. At any rate Franks revolver
Is known to be all right and the people
of that section can be assured of a
few nights quiet and solitude before
target practice is again indulged in.

The Life of Mark Twain

New York. Sept. 14-Mark Twain
wrote and published burlesque auto
biography some twenty years ago,
which still brings good price as a
rarity at auction sales. This was
sheer romance. He has, however, been
at work on real autobiography,
which will present important facts and
details in his life, although wherever
possible in the guise of genial and gen.
erous fun.
He began this many years ago, and
he continues to add to it day by day.
1t already reaches 225.OO0 words. 1t
had originally been his intention to
publish the book posthumously in its
entirety. He has been persuaded, how
ever, to allow selections to appear
serially.
In a mock heroic introduction Mr..
Clemens informs the world that he in
tends this autobiography shall become
a model for all future autobiographies,
when it is published, after my
DEATH" He also intends that it shall
be read and admired good many
centuries, because of its form and
method-a form and method whereby
the past and the present are constant
ly face to face, resulting in contrasts
which newly fire up the interest all
along, like the contact of flint with
steel. Moreover. this autobiography of
mine does not select from my life its
shadowy episodes. but deals mainly in
the common experiences which go to
make up the life Of the average human
being, because these episodes are of a
sort which he is familiar with in his
own life, and in which he sees his own
life reflected and set down in print.
Discussing genealogy in general and
his own in particular, Mark Twain
goes on to tell story about the late
William Walker Phelps, whom he met

ALCOHOL FROM C0BS
Department of Agriculture
Makes Discovery of Great
Future Possibilities.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington. d. c., Sept. 14.-In the
manufacture of alcohol from corn cobs
and corn stalks. at small cost, the
department OF agriculture is develop
ing new industry that the depart
ment says is likely to be of large COM
mercial value. The investigations
which the department is making at
Hoopeston, ILL.,. have proved that large
quantities Of corn cobs, which every
year heretofore have gone to waste,
can be converted into alcohol in suf-
ficient quantities to justify the erec-
ton of distilling plant in connection
with every corn cannery.
The department of agriculture sent
two chemists to Hoopeston to make
experiments at the large cannery
there. They have succeeded by the
simple methods of fermentation, in
getting yield of eleven gallons of al
cohol from ton Of green cobs, and by
similar methods in getting six gallons
Of alcohol from a ton of green corn
stalks.

Havana, Sept, 14.-Congress will
meet in special session at o'clock
this afternoon. President Palma's mes
sage has not yet been given out. but
it is rumored at the palace that he will
resign to congress, but this has not
been verified.
Outside OF the great amount of more
or less excited controversy about the
wisdom of landing the blue jackets
from the Denver and the propriety
OF their recall, there is the absolute
agreement that the landing of the
marines had wonderful influence to-
ward procuring an offer of surrender
from the insurgents. This offer was
made just as the concentration of the
insurgents in Havana province had
been practically accomplished, pre-
sumably for a movement on Havana
City. For this reason there is general
satisfaction with the landing incident.
The rebels have destroyed the water
tank at Salud, on the Western railroad
about twenty miles south of Havana.
They also attempted to burn a train
at Salud

terminus is unable to leave on account
of the lack of protection.

New York, Sept. 14.-Another evil
erect of the South American earth
quake developed today with the arrival
OF Juan B. Flores of Ecuador. He
brought the news that the great straw
fields of the Maiglar Celtic district of
Ecuador were destroyed by the earth

OF the Panama hat industry is threat
ened.
The inhabitants of the district, who
have been deprived of employment, are
IN dire want. Thousands of persons,
including many Indians, have been
employed in the industry. 1t is feared
that the Indians will take to pillage
and violence in an effort to supply

person who could be exaggerated. The
incidents which looked most eXtrava-

facts of his life, and l was present

"The real COL Sellers. as knew him

beautiful spirit, manly man,
straight and honorable man, man
with big, foolish. unselfish heart in
his bosom, man born to be loved, and
he was loved by all his friends, and by
his family worshipped. 1t is the right
word. To them he was but little less
than god.'
Once when Mark Twain and George
w. Gable were giving their dual enter
tainment in Mr.. Lampton's town the
latter called upon the distinguished
performers at their hotel. After some
exchanges of courtesy hampton, in evil
dent embarrassment, said something
about his having left his pocketbook

banking hours.
