ADVOCATE SECOND PRIMARY.
Friends of Both Candidates for Sen ator In Mississippi Want
 Another Vote.

New Orleans, Aug. S.-Dispatches from Jackson, Mis-, say that a sec ond senatorial primary for John Sharp Williams and Gov. James K. -Varda- man, is regarded with favor by many followers of both. Secretary of State Power. up to Tuesday night, still had ten counties to hear the official re- turns from, and the count up to that point showed Williams lead to be about 40 votes. The smallness of the plurality, which it is now esti- mated the winner will have is given as ground for the belief that a con test over the election is inevitable The ballot boxes are being watched by workers on both sides. The fact that second primary must be held to select the candidate for governor has cleared the way TOT the advocacy of another vote for senator.

A COSTLY PLANT BURNED
Million Dollar Reduction Plant of Golden Cycle Mining Company
 of Colorado Destroyed.
LARGEST CYANIDE MILL IN THE WEST
Destruction of the Mills May Result in Closing Several Mines at Grip pie Greek Throwing Hundreds of Men Out of Employment--Loss is $75o,0oo.

Colorado Springs, Col. Aug. B. The Golden Cyclone Mining com pany's sl.000,00O reduction plant, To- cated in the foothills south of Cobra do City was practically destroyed by fire Wednesday.
 The fire originated in the roasting rooms and rapidly spread to other buildings which cover an area of ten acres Lack of water and inadequate fire fighting facilities made the work of the hremen very difficult and it was only by heroic efforts that the fire was finally brought under control after three-fourths of the plant had been destroyed. Thirty seven freight cars standing on sidings near the mills were also consumed.
 The fire was very spectacular. The mills are so situated in the hills that an excellent view Of the confagration could be obtained from all parts of Colorado Springs and thousands of spectators occupied the roofs of build ings and other points of vantage. It is thought the destruction of the mills VIII result In the clOSIuS Ol several mines at Cripple Creek, there by throwing hundreds of men out of employment.
 The plant was formerly known as the Telluride mills, owned by New York capitalists and was involved in the mill mems strike which termin- ated in the Cripple Creek labor diffi- culties. Shortly after the strike the mills closed down and were taken over by J. T. Milliken of St. Louis and associates who rebuilt the plant and added extensively to it's capacity. The mill has been in operation but a few weeks and is the largest cyanide plant in the west. As large contracts are held with Cripple Creek mining companies for their ore, it is quite probable that the plant will be rebuilt as soon as possible. The loss is es- timated at s750,O0O, with s300,OeO in surance.

 Conventry, Eng.

Coventry. Eng. July S.--Mounted on white palfrey and decorously clothed in masses of hair. pink flesh. ings and clouds of gauge, modern Lady Godiva Wednesday gave rep resentation of the historic ride through the city's streets.
 Coventry has been Lady Godiva mad for months. When a revival of the procession. last witnessed in 1887, was first mooted there were many who desired a strict adherence to tradition, even to the nudity of Lady Godiva, but the anti-nudists effected a compromise and vaudeville act ress. whose speciality is to display herself in groups of living statuaEy was engaged to represent the historic bonefactross of Coventry. The actress who Is said to have complained that she could make half dozen sum mer frocks out of the gauge she was compelled to wear, took an hour and half to arrange her trailing hair and long draperies and then special committee had to approve of her cos tune before Lady Godiva was per mitted to take her place in the pa geant.
 Many of the local clergy who had been preaching against the fleshings as being suggestive of nudity, left the city temporarily but most of the people of the country and so to 100,- 900 from She outside had sight of Lady Godiva as she traversed the six miles

Berkeley, Cal, Aug. 9-The declar. ation of Prof. Milton Whitney, chief of the bureau of soils of the United States department of agriculture. to the effect that he has discovered a new theory of soil fertilization which may necessitate a complete revision of science of chemistry of soils, has stirred up a pretty row between ex- ports on the subject of soil. This, according to orthodox scientists of Dr. Hilgard's school, is heresy. Dr. Hilgard, former dean and chief of the United States agricultural department station at Berkeley, said Thursday This theory which Prof Whitney seems to think is new, was advanced, discussed and exploded, 100 years ago"

HEARD SHOT OVER TELEPHONE
Attempt at Suicide by Man Who Called
 Up Girl and Let Her Hear Shot.

Pine Bluff. Aug. 7.-'You will hear something you will regret all your life,' were the words that a Pine Bluff young woman heard over the phone
 "What is that?' she inquired.
 "Well, just listen"
 A pause-and then what she heard over the wire was a pistol shot.
 There is melodramatic in-l- dent of that kind in "The Land of the Car" but this was in real life and on investigation, after the frightened young wo- man had told of her experience T. NJ. Leibig, a prominent young druggist of tbis city. was found in his room over the Am ders on- Bacon drug store with a bullet in his left side, just below the heart. The wound, how ever though painful, is not seri- ous, and 1t is expected he will soon be convalescent.
 It is said that Mir. Leibig was deeply infatuated with the young lady in question, who, however, did not reciprocate his affection. The young woman who figur- ed in the affair said:
 "I do not love him and I told him several times. He was pre- sistent, and when he came to see me last night 1 left word that could not see him. He went away and I would not have gone to the phone when he called, had I not been persuaded to do so. It's case of one-sided love with foolish man on the one side. Mir. Leibig came here several years ago from Camden.

WANT LOWER OL RATES
National Petroleum Association h. augurates Concerted Movement
 Against the Railroads.
WOULD HURT THE STANDARD MONOPOLY
The Independent Oil Men Want to Ob tain an Average Reduction of a Per Cent In the Rates on Petro. leum Throughout the Country Standard and Railroads Confer.

1 Cleveland, Aug S.--Five atta,.hS upon hitherto impregnable fortresses of the Standard Oil company, attacks widely separated, but made simul- taneously and covering practically tic seaboard aAld the Rocky noun tatns, were ordered Tuesday by the l independent oil men of Cleveland. 1 This united campaign is the direct re- suit of the s29,240,0O0 fine assessed against the Rockefeller trust by Judge Landis in the federal court in Chicago last Saturday.
 The five attacks will be under the 1 generalship of the National Petroleum Association. On paper the foes will be all the railroads of both the East and the West In reality. though the conflict in each instance will be wag- ed against the Standard From the of this city the most important part of this quintuple campaign is that against the railroads operating in the territory of the Central Freight asso- citation. Tho object Of this attack is to obtain an average reduction of 20 per cent in the rates of petroleum in the territory named.
 F. w. BoltZ. traffic manager. sent an urgent letter to the interstate com merce commission asking for thor ough hearing not later than Septem- Der 15
 There are two cases involved in this petition and the average reduc- ton asked in the rates on petroleum is 40 per cent. One of the cases GOV CTS the territory between Chicago and Omaha and between Sioux City and ] Sioux Falls, while the other affects the rates between Chicago and St, Paul and Minneapolis. In this letter the Interstate Commerce commission is requested to fix the time for hear ing these cases immediately after the date selected for hearing the com plaint regarding the reclassified tar 1 ifs of the Eastern roads.
 MT Boltz sent another urgent mis- siye to tie state railroad commission of Nebraska. On the average Nebras. ka's rates on petroleum are from so to i30 per cent higher than those in adjacent states. Mir. Boltz asks i'm mediate revision of the rates by the state railroad commission.
 While Mir. Boltz was writing these letters C. D Chamberlin, secretary of the association, was on his way to Atlanta, Ga. to appear before the Georgia house committee on judiciary in advocacy of the passage of an anti discrimination law similar to that now in force in Kansas and Iowa.
