 The response to this notice, 1t Is said. was the cause of having Mir Capan sent to investigate the condi- , tion of affairs. Mir Capen said that he may be able to give some informal ton about the matter in few days.

Hoadley. president and treasurer of the Waterbury Tool com pany brought suit. some time ago against Morton Freeman Plant. to prevent him removing any part of the estate of his father, Henry Bradley Plant. which amounted to S17,WN.OW, outside of tue Jurisdiction of the courts of this state. Their conten- tion was that Morton Freeman Plants son, Henry Bradley Plant was the son of an old man and in case of his death. or his leaving no issue they would be the next of kin, in which case the removal of any part of the Plant estate would be to their disadvantage and also to that of the estate.

DEATH PENALTY FOR YOUNG
LAW PROFESSOR.
Mob Seeks to Attack Women - the'
Party, the Washington Scholar
Having Become a Hero In the VII
lage OF the Molitors.

Karl Hau, a brilliant young law
professor of Washington, ID. c., was
condemned to death early Monday
evening after a five days trial at
Karlsruhe, Germany, for the murder
of his wifes mother, Frau Molitor,
a wealthy resident OF Baden Baden,
In that city Nov. last.
The prisoner heard the verdict of
the jury with perfect composure and
chatted smillngly with his counsel
after the judges withdrew to fix his
sentence. Upon the return of the
judges Hau arose, and standing erect
with folded arms listened to the sem
tence without moving a muscle. A
moment later he was hurried away
TO prison by half a dozen policemen.
The sentence is unpopular with the
street crowds, which have been dem
'onstrating more and more openly for
several days in Hau's favor and
against the Molitor family.
After the adjournment Of the court
for an hours recess at o'clock Mon
day evening the women of the Molitor
party We're compelled to remain IN
one of the offices Of the court house
because it was dangerous to appear
in the streets. The carriage waited for
them in the court yards, and it was
several hours before they were able
to leave Meanwhile enormous crowds
had assembled in the streets ada
cent to the court house. Cordons of
police kept the crowds in check for
an hour or more, but then lost con-
troll of them, the masses pushing and
crushing forward to the doors with
the evident irtention of storming the
entrance. There were many shouts
from the crowd of ''Hau is not
guilty" the voices penetrating to the
court room.

ULTTMATUa: TO LUMBERMEN.
L. w. Hill Says Higher Rates or Con-
tinued Car Shortage.

President Louis w. Hill, of the Great
Northern railway, recently declared
the lumbermen of the Pacific coast
must choose between a continuation of
the car shortage and the advance Of
10 cents per 100 pounds on lumber and
shingle shipments that will be applied
Oct l. President Hill said his road
had sent 1000 empty cars to the coast
to haul lumber products this summer
hauling the empties from the Dakotas
and Montana.
THE westbound traffic." he said,
will not supply cars enough for the
lumber business. We cannot haul
empties here at a loss, and if we
must supply enough cars for the lum-
>ber traffic we must be paid for it. I
understand that the lumbermen pro-
pose to fight against the increase of
rates before the interstate commerce
commission. 1 do not believe they
can win, and I think the mill men are
short sighted. We must either add
vance the lumber rates or allow the
car shortage to continue

Naval Officials Looking Out for Ships
for Use In Emergency.

After the return of the Boston
Steamship company's liner fremont
from the Puget Sound navy yard dry
dock OF Bremerton it was learned on
good authority that the inspection of
the steamer just completed by Pacific
Mail Steamship company officials and
others was made on behalf of the
u. S government, the men hav-
ing been deputized for the work. The
fremont is not the only large steam
er on the Pacific to be inspected by the
three men who were in port early in
the week.
Others have been examined in the
same way, and it is said there are at
least fifteen vessels scheduled for in
spection, the list including two Ameri-
can Hawaiian liners and some of the
Pacific Mail company's steamers. A
reliable authority states that this in
spectoin is being carried on by the
government with view to chartering
the steamships for government trans
ports should occasion demand it.

DRY WEATHER NEEDED.
Outlook for Harvest Time Near Cam
ton Not Promising.

Everyone is hoping that the storm
period has passed, for the country
is sadly in need of dry weather, be-
cause the ripening grain will call for
machine work in a week, and the
fields are too soft TO carry a reaper.
1t will take a week of dry weather
to put the ground in proper shape for
harvest. Small grain is looking very
fine all over the Sioux Valley, while
the corn crop shows good farming and
poor farming, and this is more notice
able this year than last.
Electrical storms and heavy rain
prevailed all over the state nearly ev-
cry night last week. Zion church, in
Delaware township, near Canton, was
destroyed by lightning. The storm
Saturday night was terrible in it's cleo
trical display. The sky for over an
hour was a continuous blaze of cleo
trio brilliancy never equaled in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. The
thunder was continuous, and at times
the earth trembled.

TORNADO AT ST. JOSEPH.
Much Damage Done In City by Wind
and Rain.


A tornado and tremendous rain did
heavy damage in st. Joseph. Mo, and
vicinity Thursday night. Houses were
wrecked, street railway tracks torn
out, cellars flooded and crops leveled.
There were no fatalities.
The family of Daniel Riordan, a
mile east of this city, had a miracu-
lous escape from death. Their resi-
dence, two stories in height, was torn
from its foundation and completely
demolished. Riordan, wife and three
children had taken refuge in the base
ment. They were buried under the
debros, but the wind lifted the house
bodily from it's foundation, and none
of the heavy timbers fell on them.
Scorse of houses were washed from
their foundations in the city by the
rain, which amounted to a ClOudburst
st. Joseph nestles in the hills and the
force of the tornado was broken. Sew
ers could not carry off the water and
raging torrents flowed through the
outlying parts of the city
In BroOkdale, a low lying suburb,
scores Of families were driven from
their homes by the water, which
reached the windows of the first floor.

WIRE STRIKE ENDS
Frisco Photographers Will Return to
Work.

After being out just month the
and San Francisco offices of the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies settled their strike Friday af-
ternoon. The operators unanimously
voted to return to work under
same conditions and salaries as pre-
vailed when they went on strike and
to arbitrate their grievances and diff
ferences as provided for in the COM
promise offer contained In the letter
from Col. r. c. Clowry Of June 20.
BY the terms of agreement, signed
by l. n. Miller, assistant general su-
perintendent of the Western Union;
L. w. Storer, general superintendent
of the Postal, and National President
S. j. Small, of the telegraphers, both
companies are to re-employ, without
prejudice, the telegraphers who went
on strike, and the question Of in
creased wages is to be taken up after
resumption OF work. The employees
of each company will appoint repre-
sentative and the company one, the
two to select a third. who will consti-
tute the arbitration committee.
While the telegraph companies do
not openly recognize the union and
insist upon dealing with their own
employees, the fact that representa-
tives Of the companies signed an
agreement with Small is regarded by
the operators as a recognition of their
organiza ton.

NIP REVOLT IN CUBA.
Secret Omcers Discover Plot Just I'm
Time.

Upon what ticklish terms the busi-
ally conducted is shown by the partic-
ulars which have just leaked out OF a
projected uprising in Oriente which
recently gave Gov. Magoon some anx-
ious hours. At the palace absolute
ignorance. is professed OF anything in
the shape Of disturbance. but the up
rising was projected to take place on
July IL and would doubtless have teen
started had it not been for the vigi-
lance Of United States army officers
detailed on secret service.
Nothing could better illustrate the
irritability of some Of the Cuban lead
ers than the triviality Of the cause
which started the movement in the d.
rection Of the woods.
All the trouble arose from the eff
forts of Capt. Robert Alexander, Elev-
enth United States infantry, quarter
master Of the American garrison in
Moro castle, Santiago, to beautify the
grounds about the old fortress by set
ting out trees. Unluckily he selected
cocoanut palms for the purpose, and
having secured from an acquaintance
100 young trees had them properly
placed.
While the captain was congratulate
ing himself on his efforts to improve
Cuban property without cost, for all
the work Of planting was done volun-
tarily by the soldiers of the garrison,
the rumor went flying through the
whole province that the Americans
were planting cocoas on the Moro,
and as it takes six years for a cocoa
to come into bearing 1t was, of course
obvious that the Americans intended
to remain for at least that period.

Married life was not the happy
elysium pictured by many to Mr.. and
Mrs. Guy Newman, Of Geddes. They
were married in the early part of last
winter and are now separated and
procuring divorce ailer only little
over six months of welded bliss. AS
the story goes, only about two weeks
of this six months was spent in hap
piness, as they soon began to quarrel,
and it was one not kept at home, and
soon all neighbors were interested
and some taking a hand in it, The
two opposing forces came to an agree
ment last week, it being recorded as
only the second agreement which
Newman and his wife had come to
since knowing each other, he giving
her about one third of his property
and she allowing him to procure d.
vorce. Newman and his attorney, ].
E. Upton, appeared before Judge
Smith at Yankton the first of the week
in regard to the case.

SCORES FIND SEA GRAVES.
Fearful Disaster Occurs on California
Coast.

News has been received at San
Francisco that the steamers Columbia

Shelter Cove, Mendocino county at
midnight Saturday. The Columbia
sank
1t is reported so passengers and
the crew of the Columbia were saved
and $50 drowned.
There was heavy fog at the time.
The San Pedro, heavily laden with
lumber, struck the Columbia on the
port bow with such terrific force that
she was cut down to the water and
sank in about five minutes, carrying
scores with her to watery grave.
About eighty were saved by cling
ing onto the San Pedro, from which
vessel they were rescued some hours
later by the steamer Roanoke.
Capt. Doran, of the Columbia, went
down with the vessel.

TO WED SECOND SPENDER.
Said Anna Gould is to Become a
Princes Bride.


Closely following the granting of a
final decree Of divorce to Countess de
Castellane, of Paris, formerly Anna
Gould, of New York, comes the an
nouncement of her forthcoming en-
gagement to Prince Helie of Sagan.
Prince Helie de Sagan is a brother
of the duke of Valincay, whom Helen
Morton divorced. The prince is often
seen in the company of the countess
and is a frequent guest at her dinner
parties in Paris and at the chateau
near Rambouilet.
Such a marriage would give her
even a better position in exclusive
French society than she now has, for
the prince is a son of Duchess Talley-
rand Perigord, one of the most an
cient titled families of France.
The prince is even a greater spend
thrift than Count Boni. He dissipated
a vast fortune within few years after
inheriting it, and is compelled to live
modestly.
