DENVER CHANCES

A. NJ. Stevenson. Republican ma
tional committeeman from Colorado,
has returned to Denver from busi-
ness trip to Washington and says the
chances are good for Denver secur-
Ing the next gathering of that party.
Both Chicago and Kansas City
are working very hard for the con-
yention. The former city Is going
to build new auditorium. as the
leaders declared when the last con-
vention was held in the Windy city
that they would never meet In that
building again as 1t was unsuited for
large gatherings. Kansas City has
built hotel especially to accom-
modate negro delegates.
Mr.. Stevenson IS of the opinion
that the committee will take into
consideration the questions of suita-
BILE auditorium. hotel accommodations
and telegraph facilities and will Sc
lect meeting place at neither ex'
treme of the country. He says the
next nominee will either be Roose-
welt himself or some candidate IL

Father Vaughn is one of the most
brilliant speakers upon the Amer
lean lecture platform. His lecture
was Sermons from Shakespeare. A
more able address has never been
heard in this city. The speaker was
at one time on the stage, and this
experience Is now making itself felt
in his presentation of Shakespearean
lectures. Rev. Vaughn possesses
many of the characteristics of Rich

Rochester. N. Y, Nov. 2.-Shoul
the Standard Oil company ard 1t
Subsidiary company. the Vacuum OF
of Rochester, be found guilty at tn,
trial this month of the charges o
accepting rebates on the shipment
of oil from Olean. N. Y, to point.
in Vermont, over the New York Cen
trail aid Pennsylvania railroads, the,
will doubtless be fined by Fedora
Judge Hazel the maximum of eacl
count, which will aggregate $780,
900. The two accused railroad com.
panies may be fined like sum
reckoned on the basis of two indict-
ments against them Jointly and two
separately, the latter containing 18S
counts in one and forty In the other.
Those indictmens, based upon al
legged violations of the Elkins law.
were handed to Judge Hazel. for the
western district of New York. by
the federal grand jury sitting at
Jamestown, which spent several
weeks in considering the evidence
brought against the four corporations
The jury held that the connecting
lines in Vermont were not parties
to the alleged rebate arrangement.
The indictments are found on ship
ments of oil from August. 1904, to
June. 1905, 22S cars III all.
1t is alleged that the lawful ship
ment rate from Olean to Vermont
points was made up of two legally
filed schedules of rates by the rail-
road companies, one from Olean to
Norwood, VT. the other from Nor
wood to point of destination. The
schedules filed with the interstate
commerce commission showed the
rate from Olean to Burlington, Vt.
to be 26 1-2c per hundred, while the
were given a rate of IL S-10c. The
independent dealer was, therefore,
obliged to pay more than double the
rate charged the "oil trust"
Ii addition to these indictments
against the Standard OIL company
there are ii other counts in indict-
ments returned here last year.
when the New York Central was
fined 1000 by Judge Hazel for CIV
ing rebates on oil shipments. These
in the event of guilt and the I'm
position of the maximum fine, will
bring the total which the Standard
Oil will be assessed up to a round
$12.000.000. Not taking into ac-
count the Rochester Indictments the
net result on conviction in respect
to the counts returned in August
would be on maximum fines $4,000
900 for the Standard and Vacuum and
$12,12O.000 for the New York Cen
tral and Pennsylvania. total of
$24,240.000.

THIRTY U. s. SENATORS
RETIRE IN MARCH

"a With the expiration OF the fifty q
q ninth congress the terms of thir- 6
a ty senators expired. @
AAAA AAAA
Referring to the fact a writer In
the New York American says: "Of
these seventeen were reelected,
leaving thirteen brand-new senators
to be chosen. If it Is conceded that
George P. Wetmore, who is still
making the political fight of his life
in Rhode Island. will be elected; that
the president will proclaim Oklahoma
a state and its two democratic SEN
ators who were elected at the primar-
les are seated. the new senate will
consist of sixty-one Republicans and
thirty-one Democrats-the senate for
the first time in its history compris-
ing ninety-two members. Thus
the new senate will be the largest
yet, and will consist of two-thirds
Republicans, which gives them the
power to ratify without the aid OF
Democratic votes. The Democrats
will have to elect a leader. Senators
Daniel, of Virginia and Cu1berson, of
Texas are the most promising cand-
idates SO far. Through the retire
ment, death or expired terms of such
men as Clark, Alger, Dryden and
Millard the new senate will not be
as wealthy in the aggregate as was
that of the Fifty-ninth congress, there
being only two millionaires amohg
the newcomers-Guggen OF
Colorado, and Richardson, Of Della
ware. The age limit is greatly re-
duced, the newcomers nearly all be-
ing comparatively young men,"

A GREAT HUNT
FOR WOLVES
STARTS
(sentinel,s special New. serv1ce)

Oklahoma City, Nov. 2. Prepare
tions are nearing completion for the
great wolf hunt to be held early this
month in the neighborhood of Tulsa
/. T. The affair Is being arranged
by Bob" Galbraith, the Indian oil
king. and the participants will In
lclude sportsmen from all over Okla
homa, Indian Territory. Arkansas,
Missouri, Texas and other states. The
scene of the great chase will be the
wild and almost impenetrable region
between Red Fork and Lost City.
abounding in steep hills, deep crew.
Ices, subterranean passages and rocky
caverns, where wolves and all kinds
of wild game abound in great num-
Der. The only big black timber
wolves left in the new state have
their lairs In this vicinity and prey
small domestic animals on the sur
rounding farms.
Among the participants is expected
to be John Alternately. the United
States marshal and famous wolf hun
ter who catches 'em alive" During
a wolf hunt in the big pasture" two
years ago, in which President Roose-
welt took part, Alternately performed
his daring feat of catching a wolf
bare handed. to the great delight of
the president. A prize of $3.50 has
been offered to anyone who will
duplicate this feat in the coming
hunt.
Mr.. Galbraith has also offered a
reward of $500 to any Nimroj who
will capture a wolf known in the
of the Lost City country
as "Old Blackey." This animal is
said to be as large as calf. and
for five years has eluded, with great
cunning, all attempts to affect its
captivity. Among the superstiuous
Indians "Old Blackey" is credited
with possessing an evil spirit. which
makes the animal invulnerable to bull
let's.
For the first time in the two ter
fox hounds will be used In
stead Of grey hounds in chasing "Old
and other members of his
pack. Some of the best dogs in the
have been entered. and 1t
Is expected that the hunt will be a
mong the most exciting of its kind
ever held in this country.

As opened the door it was almost blown out of my hand by the force of the wind and great sheets of snow and sleet came sailing in, under the prote cochere and half way down the hall
 bundled myself up in the doctors great fur coat and surrounded myself with his rugs and then, lowing my head to the fury of the gale, I did as I had been told, and let the mare take her own gait and pick her own way to the train.
 The train was 40 minutes late and, after putting my horse in the stable and blanketing her comfortably in ac- cordance with the doctors instruc. tions, I returned to the station and paced restlesely up and down the wait ing room, now and then peerirg any- iously through the frost-coated win doVs in a childlike way, as if my eyes could penetrate the blackness of the night and see for miles down the track.
 Finally, as the time for its arrival drew near, one of the station men,
 
 with that intuition so frequently ob- served and so incomprehensible to the average individual, suddenly picked up g lantern and strode out on the platform The heavy rumble of the oncoming locomotive and the faint soueal of its whistle struck my ears at the same instant and looking out ! saw it's single bleary eye gleaming dimly in the distance as it plowed on through the Whirling sleet.

 There was a snap and a buzzing sound for an instant and I knew that the wire was down.

 "Bobbs wrote to Annie for me, too, telling her to talk with Mrs. Bruce and try and persuade you to go, but she only begged to see me and insisted on keeping as near to me as she could. Of course, I could not see her, Ware, but she used to write me every day and leave the letters on the window sill for Chico to get after dark. 1 wasn't able to answer them, Ware, for l am perfectly helpless now, you know" and he changed his position enough to show us two arms sWathed in bandages, "but God only knows what comfort they were to me, and Bobbs or his mother got word to her from me whenever they could"
 He was panting noisily from the ef- fort of his long exertion, and Bobbs made a deprecatory gesture as if he would have him stop, but Carney mo- toned him away and began once more in faint, disjointed words:
 q mustn't stop now, Bobbs. I have more to say and my time is growing short.''

 He paused and seemed to choke for an instant before he resumed:
 You must pardon me, Ware, for all the trouble I've made you and for the worry that Florence has had to suffer, but I was too sure of myself when I thought I could frighten you away with the ghosts that Bobbs and [ man ufsctured and the letters that I had him write you.

 q know I was foolish to do this, stay here and keep out of sight of the authorities and then, when I needed exercise, we thought of the ghosts es @ means ot keeping people away And giving me more freedom"
 He had not taken his eyes from the window in all this time and the snow vas falling so heavily that we were covered thickly with its soft, feecy mantle
 Again he began to speak while we stood as men entranced, but his voice was even weaker than before and it was with difficulty that we could make out all that he said
 'I'll be gone soon, Ware, and you must keep it all from the people and have me buried at once. You know there would be panic if they knew, and yet there would be no danger in this climate. It's only when you live right in the midst of it, Ware, and have it on all sides of you all the time, 'as I did in Hawaii, trying to help those poor souls in their sufferings
 There's no danger, Ware, to any one and yet, If they'd found me I'd have been penned up somewhere like wild beast, and couldn't bear it.
