PLATT WILL NOT
 RUN FOR SENATE
Says at Expiration of Present Term He Will Not Seek Reelection to
 the Senate.

New York. April l3.-rhe Herald tomor- row will say:
 Seated at his desk In his office In the United States Express eompanys build ifg yesterday morning. Senator Thomas c. Platt declared he would make no eff fort to be reelected to the United States Senate at the expiration of his term In 1909
 It is true he said with a touch of sadness in tone, that I do not expect 10 return to the Senate when my present terms ends. I will have gratifed my desire for public office by that time.
 'Further than this the senior senator from New York would make no comment on his intended action. Asked whether developments in the insurance investiga- ton had influenced him in forming his decision, he withheld an answer. To friends, he had said recently, however, that he had made up his mind long ago not to seek another term"

Cure played a very steady game and at the end of the tenth inning was 24e points ahead of Sutton. The lat ter Is noted for his nurse plays, and he gave a fine exhibition of nerve and skill when he made the high run of the week $ play in his sixteenth inning, scoring 1eS points.
 Il was hard fought uphill game on Suttons part and in his twenty-second inning he got within Il points of the lead CT. But Cure had not played his half of that inning, and when he did so he had added 59 to his total. Sutton then got 1e and the French expert ran out with an unfinished 22.

TROUBLE IN CHINA.
Dangerous for Government to Weaken
 Positions In That Country.

London, April 1.-The Trlbune's corres- pondent at Pekin telegraphs as follows;
 While native unrest continues, there Is an augmentation of the feeling in the foreign communities that the European and American governments are unwise in weakening their positions In the eyes Of the Chinese.
 Major General Ventris, commanding the troops in North China and Chief En- gineer Blair have proceeded to Wel-Hai- Wei ostensibly to dlsband the Chinese regiments, but really l have reason to believe. to return the harbor and port to China.
 eEven in case of local disturbances the burden of first defense will fall upon the Americans The Chinese have fort on the wall which secretly commands the American position. This would demand capture by a rush, but the American gar rison Is too weak to afford the necessary men. Meanwhile, ineendiary literature Is being spread throughout the country"

 Sc
 60 0owf VoIiva About to Get

Dowie Will Be Relnstated on Promise Of Giving e5 Per Cent of Property to the Church and Retir-
 Ing Forever.

Chicago, April 1S.-Peace hovers over
 the warning factions that are endeavor- l ing to secure control of Zion City. This l statement was authorized by the legal i advisors of both Dr. Dowie and General l Overseer yoliya. After an all-day confer ] enee Emile c. Wetten, representing Dowie said
 i We are nearer peaceful solution of i this question tonight than we have been ;. at any stage of the proceedings. We have changed our minds relative to the
 filing of bill in equity declaring the /, transferring of the ownership of the prop
 erty of Zion City by Yoliva to Deacon
 Alexander Granger to be void, and will
 await further developments.
 Power of Attorney Void.
 To-day as a matter of formality we
 filed paper in the circuit court of Lake | county, of this state, declaring that the power of attorney granted to General
 Overseer Vollva by the first apostle. :" John Alexander Dowie, was absolutely void inasmuch as voliya had not acted in accordance with the instructions given Hliu III reIerence to the cAeculloi ol lne powers delegated to him by Dowie.' At the termination of today's conference which was participated in by Judge V. V.
 Barnes. legal adviser of Zion City; Jacob Newman. counsel for Voliva, and his forces, and Attorney Wetten represent 1 ing Dowie, MT. Newman said:
 95 Per Cent Belongs to Church. "Dowie and his advisers admitted to-
 day that we have in our possession docu-
 mentary evidence to the effect that his
 advisers admit that 95 per cent of the property belongs to the Christian Catholic church, and he has furthermore acquies- 1 ced in the proposition that if he is given
 per cent of this propertyi after he has
 been installed in temporary control. both
 ecclesiastical and financially, he will re- 1 tire. In other words, Dowie desires to be vindicated reinstalled with the full pow CTS attending the first apostleship of the Christian Catholic church. whereupon he ! will issue an edict declaring that 90 per cent of the property of Zion City belongs to the church. and that 5 per cent be- longs to him (Dowie). According to con servative estimates given out by the two factions, this would give to Dowie $1,00o
 900, and to the church $l9000,0O0."

Smith Had a Run
For His Money!

Saturday evening about IL
o'clock, while Ed A. Smith was
vending his way homeward, and
IwEile full of the hope that he
might do some good to the human
race, he happenei to meet one
Gustav Peterson, who had been
too close to some alkali water
and was feeling a little hilar-
ious. A friend of Pederson's
was assisting him homeward, but
it appears was not getting the
carrier of the jag home fast
enough to suit Mr.. Smith, who
believing that the long desired
opportunity to do good had come,
volunteered some information
which didn't particularly appeal
to Peterson, who it seems start
ed to run after MIR. Smith. Ed
evidently is not'a very good run
ner tor he was overtaken by the
intoxicated gentleman, or fell
and was bounced upon by Peder-
son who, Smith says, pummelled
him up numerically. This Ped
erson denies and insists that the
sidewalk struck Brother Smith.
At any event, Peterson was later
found wearing Smiths cap
about the only evidence that was
found against him. Smith swore
out warrant against Peterson,
charging him with assault with
intent to kill.
| In Judge Henry's court, the
matter did not appear quite SO
serious, and Peterson was fined
for assault anu battery and
given 80 days in Jail. It is
quite likely that Mr.. Smith will
not volunteer any more inforraa-
tion to people who stay out late
nights, without first ascertainine
the exact condition Of those up.

Van LEV Talks
About Flour Mill.

j. A. Van Lew: What about
our -four mill and its progress?
Let me tell you a little about it.
I had the pleasure Of meeting
with about forty other millers
from North Dakota and north
western Minnesota at Crookston,
Mimi. on the 10th Of this month
This is called the Northwestern
Millers' club, and is for the pur-
pose Of comparing notes, methods
Samples anG etc., and if possible
to create a more faternal feeling
among the millers of this section.
| was surprised to find our efforts
here in the milling lines so well
known and to hear the many
comments of praise, both of our
mill and the flour we are maxi
ing. / had a sample of our flour
with me and compared them with
some of the best flours in the
state and I found that we were
second to none of them and came
back satisfied that we have as
good a mill as is possible to
build, and satisfied also that we
are making as good flour as pos
sible to make from No. l hard
wheat.
What about the Larimore flour
being offered at retail so much
cheaper than our flour? Well, /
must say that we don't care a
snap for that kind Of cornpeti-
ton. It shows on the face of it
that their flour will not sell in
the markets on it's merits, and
in order to sell it they are offer
ling it at a very low price. No,
1--WE don't pay any attention to
Them. }
