Fifty Thousand Contributors.
''The number of contributors to the

at about fifty thousand people and
about 100000 of the whole amount
contributed came from the Democratic
newspapers throughout the United

about $4,000. Supplies contracted for
and undelivered, circulation of litera-
ture, the expense of headquarters In
Chicago, New York and Denver and
the travelling and other expense Incl

additional 100000 to carry cur cam

confident that the people, whom we
are thus taking into our confidence,
will supply us with this additional
sum and we earnestly urge a prompt
and generous response to this appeal"

TRAIN CAUGHT IN TRAP.
Fire Refugees Perish While Fleeing
From Flames.

Alpena, Mich, Oct. Fifteen peo-
pie lost their lives in the burning of
the Detroit and Mackinaw railway re-
lief train which was carrying the in
habitants OF the little village of Metz,
twenty-three miles north of here, to
safety from the forest fires which
were sweeping away their homes. The
Inflated train was ditched by spread
ing rails at Nowicki siding, a few
miles south of Metz, and the terrified
refugees were forced to abandon the
cars and rush for safety either down
the track with burning forests on
either side, or into the plowed fields
near the siding. Eleven of the VIC
tins were women and children who
were unable to escape. Their charred
bodies were found In the ruins of the
car when rescuers reached the scene.
Four additional fatalities occurred In
the neighborhood of the wreck Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Wagner died from heat
and exhaustion on their farm near the
scene of the wreck and Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Nowicki, Jr., lost their lives in
their burning house near the siding
where the wreck occurred

DENMARK.
Copenhagen.

The English Butter Importing COM
pany, Willer & Riley, has sued Al
BERT for 100000 crowns, which the
firm alleges that he owes them. AL
berti, as chief OF the Danish Butter
Export society, drew checks on VIII
Ter & Riley for an amount OF 100000
crowns, but sent them only 100000
crowns worth OF butter. The English
firm has also sued every firm in Den
mark, which was cooperating with
Alberti, and II IL claimed that this will
cause the ruination of all the leading
butter export firms OF the country, as
nearly every exporting firm OF any
consequence was associated directly or
indirectly with that man AIberti, who
seems to have succeeded In shaking
the very foundation Of all Danish
finance through his merciless embez-
elements and swindleries. On top OF
1t all, tie Danish Butter Exporting
society has been compelled to make
an assignment.
The crops in Denmark were fairly
good this year, but there has been too
much rain. For weeks In succession
It rained nearly every day, which, OF
course, delayed the work of harvest
ing considerably. The grain was, Of
course. badly affected in some places
Down on the islands, where they, as
a rule, have the best and largest crops,
the farmers suffered most. In Jylland,
though, II seems that the rains did
the least damage.
Denmark's largest cycle factory,
~Hamlet," has failed. 1t was at one
time one Of the largest factories In
the country, employing several hun
dred laboring men. But now there is
no call Whatsoever for cycles. 30 that
the industry has peeter out altogether.

IN MICHIGAN FIRES
FOrty-One Persons Known to
Have Persisted.
MORE FATALITIES PROBABLE
Large Number Of People Miss.
Ing and Some of Them
May Be Dead.

Alpena, Mich, Oct. 20.-The veri-
fed known death list resulting from
the forest fires In Presque Isle and
Alpena counties now stands at forty
one, with several people STILL reported
missing and growing probability of
severe loss of life in Northern Pulaw-
ski and Krakow townships in Pressure
Isle county, the first indication OF
which came with the reporting Of six
dead bodies in Pulawski, including
those Of Mrs. Herman Erke and chill
dren. Two woodsmen found the
skeleton of Mrs. William D. Rose, liv-
ing near Ocqueoc. The woman's hus-
band was absent and she was alone
In her home, surrounded by the forest
fires. Evidences Of back firing bear
mute testimony to her hopeless fight
for life.
At least sixty families were living
near the shore Of Lake Huron in the
northern half of Pulawsh and Krakow
townships and practically nothing has
been heard from them since the fires.
1t is said that the flames swept all
through this district to the waters
edge and it is feared more bodies
will be found.
Many Others Are Missing.
At Grand Lake farmer and wife
and four children are known to have
taken refuge In boat and nothing
has been heard from them since. A
dosen children sent home by teachers
have not been heard from. Near Po-
sen, Mr.. and Mrs. Hines are still miss
ing. OF those previously reported
killed, the following were found in the
woods or at their friends homes:
John Konieczny, who was reported
dead with his wife and children in
the gondola car at Metz.
Anthony Wagner, Mrs. Anthony
Wagner, Mrs. Charles Liehke, Mr..
and Mrs. Pachniski and FIVE of the
Dust children, only one of the latter
being killed.
While big fires are still burning
throughout the northern tier OF coun-
ties, not single village or town is
now known to be in danger. There
| is big fire three miles from Rogers
City and heavy line Of fire west of
Alpena, but there is no imminent dan
ger to either town.
Some apprehension is felt for Grace
Harbor, which is located on the shore
of Lake Huron northwest of here. No
word has been received from there
since the fires.

rate of duty that should be collected
upon the importation of Japanese
sake, which involves more than ST.
100000. will be brought before the
United States circuit court Of appeals
Monday by United States District
Attorney Devlin. The Japanese inn
porting firm of I. Komada & Com
pany has brought suit against the
United States to recover $l,sO00OO as
duty paid under protest since 1900.
Sake is light colored, non-effer-
vescent liquid containing alcohol
varying from IL to p per cent, made
from rice but not distilled, the alcohol
contained in it being produced by
fermentation 7. Komada & Com
pany contend that sake should be
taxed the same as beer. Prior to 1904
sake was assessed for duty as a spir-
itous beverage at the rate of $2.5C
per proof gallon. A protest was made
in that year against the classification,
the claim being made by the govern
ment appraisers that sake was duti-
able as stimulant by similitude, the
importers claiming that sake was moi
