PRESS COMMENTS ON SENATOR
GAMBLE.

The selection of a United States sena
tor at Pierre this winte. is not to be the
summer picnic that was anticipated.
Senator Gamble ia in a position to
learn what political oblivion looks like.
He stands charged with maintaining
his o on the pay roll as a government
clerk while the boy was attending col
lege a hundred miles away. the rec
crd seems to be plain conclusive, and
as one writer puts it unique in the
history of the senate" That the young
man has drawn some $500 from the
federal treasury for which he has rem
dered no service whatever, seems to be
a matter of record. Had these facts
been known when the Sioux Falls con
vention was held, no power on earth
could have secured the endorsement of
the senator for reelection. No republic
a voter in the state, insurgent or
stalwart, will hold a legislator blamable
for not standing by the endorsement of
Gamble for reelection. Who will be
his successor? That is more impor-
tant question now. That 1t will be
Crawford seems certain at this time
Groton independent.

Completely Wrecked.

Philadelphia. Jan. 6.-Shortly be-
fore noon an unknown man hurled a
bomb In the Fourth Street National
bank at Fourth and Library streets.
The resulting explosion tore the bomb
thrower to pieces and killed w. 2. Nc
Lear, the cashier. Half a dozen
other employees of the bank and
patrons were injured.
Two of those hurt may die. The
bomb thrower had demanded money
from the president, Richard p. Rush
ton. When this was refused he took
the missile from under his coat and
hurled II at Mr.. Rushton. A slight
fire followed the explosion and ten
ants in the Bullitt building, in which
the bank is located, fed from their
ofices. The police were quickly on
hand and they placed the vaults and
the securities Of the institution under
under . heavy Guard. The body Of
the cashier was baby mangled and
the bomb thrower himsslf was blown
to fragments. The only clue to the
identity OF the bomb thrower was q
bunch Of keys sound In . portion Of
the clothing. attached to which was .
plate Inscribed "R. Steele, Garner,
Ia"
The Fourth Street National bank Is
the largest financial institution In the
city and occupies the greater portion
Of the first floor Of the Bullitt build
ing In the heart of the financial dis
trict. The explosion was terrific and
IT caused tremendous excitement In
the crowded building and the street.
Interior Of Room Devastated.
At the time the explosion occurred
all the vaults were open. books were
piled on desks and papers Of all sorts
Of value lying on desks prepare
tory to being put away for the day.
The explosion devastated the interior
Of the biz banking room. Glass and
wooden partitions were wrecked and
leveled to the ground As though Q
cyclone had swept through the place.
Desks were ruined and iron bars were
twisted, in fact there was hardly an
object left intact In the room.
The explosion blew every one In the
banking room to the door and for a
moment they were daxed. Many of
them, not knowing what had hap
pened and fearing that the building,
which Is an eight-story structure, was
falling. made q rush fer the door, Mr..
Rushton among them. The roar Of
the explosion brought the tenants on
all floors to their feet and q general
rush was made to the elevators and
the stairways.
Not only is the entire interior of
the bank wrecked, but the large win.
dows looking out on a small side street
were blown out. The explosion scat
tered all the books and papers Of the
institution that were not in the vaults
at the time. Some OF them were
blown out of the windows and were
returned by those who found them. I:
probably will take days before the
bank officials are able to tell how
many of the valuable documents In
the banks custody were destroyed, as
the whole place was Strcwa with torn
bits of paper.

The Gamble graft seems to
have an al~literative sound. The
official record and the facts have
been widely published all over the
state, and the senator has not yet
come forward with an explanation,
though he has denied the whole
thing without any rebuttal of the
proof produced. If the Legislators
elect Senator Gamble to another six
years term in the senate they will
do so with their eyes open to the
palpabie fact that he, or his son, has
"swiped' money from the United
States treasury that was never
earned. This is the statement that
is staring the lawmakers in the face
right now.-Pierre Free Press.

Tribute from Concord Paper--some Lit
 erary Work.

The Concord (N. H.) Patriot of May 4 prints the following of the late pr. William H. Hotchkiss, of this city:
 "Dr. Hotchkiss is agreeably remem- bered by many of our citizens as hav- ing spent year here in 1895 for the improvement of his health. He was a man of broad intelligence high culture and able in his profession. During his sojourn in Concord he employed part of his enforced leisure in making exact copies of all the inscriptions-ove two thousand-on the memorial stones in the Old North cemetery. These, since collected and bound in six folio vol- umes, are now in the library of the New Hampshire Historical society and are proving of much aid to persons en- gagged in genealogical research. He also translated from the French into English and annotated an interesting
 series of letters written by the Count ess of Norfarloa to the Countess of Rumford, bearing dates from the 18th of September, 17O7, to the 18th of March, 1S00."
