The convention today was typicaily
Democratic. Before it was called to
order the major part OF the State ticket
had been selected. In this sense only
was there a slate. 1t was only at the
earnest solicitation OF the leader that

Imprisonment.

Chicago, Dec. 3O.--Dr. Oliver B.
Hart, son of wealthy resident of
st. Louis, who two weeks ago pleaded
guilty of the murder of Irene Klow-
kow, 10 years old, in his residence in
Rogers Park last October, has been
sentenced by Judge Barnes in the
criminal court, to forty-five years in
the penitentiary. The child was left
alone in the house with Hart, who. it
was charged at the trial, drugged her
with morphine and then maltreated
her. The morphine resulted in the
child's death and when neighbOrs
broke in the house few hours later
they found Hart in semi-conscious
condition from the effects of some
drugs, he having made an attempt to
commit suicide.

fled at the trial, agreed that he was

CASE OF CHARLES 7. YERKEs
Some Alleged Secret History Of the
Late millionaire Street Rail-
way Man.

New York. Jan. 1.-The develop
mentS since the death of Charles H.
Yerkes, the noted street railway man,
are sensational. 1t is stated that the
reason Mrs. Yerkes did not visit her
husband during his illness was that
lie had been living a double life for
years; that he had desired to obtain
divorce from his wife, and that she
was virtually prisoner IN her home
because she was afraid to leave it, as
her husband had tried to GUST her and
threatened to turn off the water and
gas.
1t is stated that some years ago
Yerkes made the acquaintance of
girl who was the daughter of Gin
cinnati comtesan, and that. for this.
girl, who was very beautiful, he built
a small palace short distance. from
his own house here, and furnished it
with royal magnificence, and that when
lie knew he was going. t0s die he put
her above want by giving her a large
fortune besides the. residence in this
city he built for her. Although the
girls mother was well-known Gin
cinnati courtesan the girl had been
brought up in a convent, and It is said
that she is ut London now. dying of
consumption. .isS t,>
Ii is learned that the great .trac-
ton tinancier has left his splendid
home and its. great collection of paint
ings and other works Of art to the city
of New York for a perpetnaliy free art
gallery. This gift aggreEites about

Deed Was Done with Nitro. lyccrinc
His Life Had Been Threatened.
The officers at Caldwell have three
men whom they are sweating vigor-
ously, believing one or more of them
have some knowledge of the crime
One is named Hogan, and is said to
have been miner. He has been
around here for three weeks, and has
told tiimsy stories about his business.
Another is n stranger who appeared
at one of the hotels half an -four aft
err the explosion, took Il bed, and re-
fused to register. When pressed to give
his name he said they might call him
Smith. The third is Il Russian, who
has been ut Caldwell at times for three
years. He calls himself Smith. This
man has been free drinker, but Sat.
urday no one could induce him to take
Il drink.
1t seems settled that the explosive
used was not giant powder. Those hay.
ing knowledge of such substances and
who have examined the scene state
that the explosive was undoubtedly
nitro-glycerne. 1t was in II metallic
case, the metal being combination
of tin and zinc. A portion of the me-
clanism has been found, including the
trigger used in firing the charge. The
nipple used was such as is found on an
old-tlashi0ned muZzle-loader shotgun.
Pieces of metal were found sticking
in all the trees.
Governor Gooding, after having
spent the day ut the scene, says there
is only one conclusion-that Governor
Stcunenberg was killed for the stand
lie took at the time of the Occur
d'Alene riots. 1t transpires that Stcu.
nenberg received letter of warning
While in Washington about one and a
half years ago. 1t stated that his time
was short. Some such letters were
also received several years ago.

cough was hushed and there was per-

This gentle rebuke had the desired
effect. The people found that their
coughing could be kept down when
they liked to great extent, md the
