LOOKS LIKE A HooDoo.
Unhappy Portent in Startling Incl
dents at Time Of Norway and
Sweden's Separation.

terest in occult phenomena will find
much to their taste in the 'Annales
des Sciences Psychologiques, just
published, IN which are reported sew
eral strange occurrences which took
place when Norway was separated
from Sweden.
IA On November 10 last, we are told.
a number Of officers were assembled
in the hall Of the Casino Of Akerhus,
waiting for King Haakon to make his
entry. Suddenly a cracking noise was
heard, and before anyone could turn
round a full -length portrait Of King
Oscar fell from the wall to the floor.
The picture was picked up unhurt,
but the crown on the top Of the frame
was smashed to atoms
few days afterward reception
was being held at the house of Mr..
Hagerum, a former prime minister.
and the guests were talking Of the
accident at Akerhus. Some one said
that evidently the Casino walls need
ed repairing, when suddenly life
sized marble bust Of King Oscar,
which stood between the windows Of
the room. fell to the floor and was
broken to pieces. Several other oc-
Scurpsnces Of like nature are report
ed, and there can be no reason to
doubt the good faith Of the g nnales.'''

Taken to Jail, Then
Attack Police.

of the Wisconsin game laws.
One of the defendants was lodged
safely in Jail, but when the officers
returned for the others the Italians
turned on them with their shovels,
beat Hammil to death and wounded
lsaacs SO badly that he was thought to
be dead.
Mur2erers Escape.
Six men were implicated in the muir
der, and they Immediately made their
escape on hand car going south. "A
possee was started out after them from
Prescott, and another was formed at
Diamond Bluff the station below, to
head them off. Thus far the fugitives
have not been located
If overtaken, it is considered proba-
Bile that all will be lynched, as the To-
cal posses have. no official character,
but are made up of friends of the two
officers, who are determined to revenge
the assault upon them. Marshal Isaacs
is expected to recover. -&. g.
Find Abandoned Car.
Shortly after six o'clock the hand car
on which the gang escaped was found
two miles below Prescott The fugi-
tives apparently had taken to the
woods, or to the Mississippi river.
Railroad gangs all along. the west
side of the river, where they are en-
ployed by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul road, have been instructed by
the authorities to watch for the men.
1t is said that in their effort to cross
the river they will run into this trap,
though the laborers may have retired
when the crossing was effected.
Sheriff Arrests Twelve. 20
The sheriff of Pierce county and a
posse succeeded, in coming up with the
Italians who had escaped on a hand
car and arrested u of them without
resistance. They were Immediately ta-
ken to the Jail at Ellsworth for safe
keeping. It is not thought that any
violence will be offered them. ~

WYTHEVILLE. Va. November l, 1906.
II Representative Campbell Slemp is re-
turned to Congress from the ninth Vlr-
gina district it will be by a greatly reduced
majority. There are men in h own party
who believe he will not be elected for
other term. There are many democrats
who believe Robert p Bruce will be the
next representative from the ninth dis
trict.
II cannot be said that all democrats out
in the ninth expect Col. Slemp to be de-
feated. The majority of them only hope
Nor do the majority of republicans believe
Mr.. Slemp is in danger of defeat. They
only fear there is a chance of d saster.
The situation in the ninth district is pc
culiar. 1t is always that, but conditions
this year somewhat different from what
they have been in previous years. The cur
sorry visitor. going into the court house
towns and talking with leading citizens
would come away impressed with the idea
that Mr.. Slemp was as good as beaten. AS
a rule throughout the district the class al
luded 10 is overwhelmingly for Mr.. Bruce
This must be admitted by Mr.. Slemp him
self
But there is another class which is al
most as nearly unanimous for Repre-
sentative Slemp. The natives of the noun
tains, in several of the counties, will vote
for Col Slemp almost to man Mr. Slemp
10 very strong with the workingmen the
men in overalls apparently, and it is evil
dent that the republican campaign man
ayers have done everything possible to
cater to this vote. 1t is believed that the
republicans have been successful in max
ing certain of large proportion of the
labor vote of the district.
Anti-Saloon Element a Factor.
The Anti-Saloon League of the district is
believed to be almost solidly opposed to the
reelection OF Col. Slemp. Mr.. Slemp is not
temperance man. 1t is said that the
league numbers 200 members In the dis

PLANS FOR ROYAL BIRTHDAY

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, October %, 1906
Lord Darlington, who was personally in
vested by the king this week with the Or
der of the Garter. is an old friend and
quondam school chum of the king. The
recent crown lands act. which provides al
lotments for small farmers. there is reason
to believe, was actually the product of the
king and Lord Darlington in collabora-
ton" The kings liberal tendencies as re-
CARDS all matters appertaining to the well
fare of the poor are well known, and when
the present government came into power,
and Lord Darlington was made the head
of the board of agriculture, the king met
him at dinner. and in the course of con-
versation said: We'll Darlington, you will
now have an opportunity to put the scheme
Of yours for robbing me of my crown lands
into operation to which Lord Darlington
replied: mo, sir; I merely propose to SOW
them with a still wider and deeper affec-
ton on the part of your people toward your
self"
Thereafter the king and Lord Darlington
had more than one conference, in which
the crown lands bill was drawn up between
them. Shortly. however. before Lord Car
rington made known officially the details
of the scheme at horticultural show near
Banbury both the king and he seemed to
have become possessed of a fear that this
scheme for cutting up the crown lands into
small alIOCmenlS might De regarded as TOO
revolutionary. Lord Darlington was ex-
pected to make a long and important
speech, but, as matter of fact, he merely
delivered a brief and prosac account of
his proposals. He subsequently explained
that the king thought that 1t would be I'M
wise to make too much Of the matter, espe-
cially as several great conservative land
owners were antagonistic to the scheme.

monial destiny has lately exercised the

Some time ago it was rumored that Prince

opposition from members of The court and
from the members of the ladys own fam
lily, who did not wish her to contract what
might appear to be a morganattc mar
riage. Steps, indeed, We're taken to be-
troth him to a foreign princess. but the
prince declared that he would either have
the lady OF his own choice or remain I'M
married. His resistance has now proved
effectual and the union has now the con-

Lady Marjorie have known each other in
