Three Found Dead In Ruins.

Boston, Mass, April 13.- Lacking
material to feed on, the waters of
Chelsea river this morning checked the
march of the fire which laid in ruins
more than one third of the city Of Chel-
sea. The property loss is estimated at
50, 900, coo and ten thousand people are
homeless. Three dead bodies have
been found in the ruins and probably
two others have persisted, between two
and three hundred have been injured
and many are missing.
The heart of Chelsea, a iourshing
city of thirty-seven thousand was
blackened and a smoking mass of
wreckage, as the sun rose this'morning
The district is guarded by regiment
of militia, and about five hundred spe-
cial police to protect the property that
escaped from the flames and to prevent
looting, and to give aid to the home
less people who are encamped about the
city and surroundings.
A puplic subscription fund in aid of
the homeless was started today and al
ready number of subscriptions are
pouring in.

At Point Of Death.

Blnefeld, W. Va, April IA
DIR. R. M. McGuffen, of Bran
well is at the point of death, as the re-
suit of an alteration with Dudly Will
liains, the buyer for the Glen Alum
Coal Company. The trouble occurred
at Glen Alum, where DR.. McGuffen
had gone on business. Williams, it is
said, struck DR.. McGuffen with a gun
over the back of the head, and in the
face, breaking his skull and cutting the
face badly. After being struck DIR. Nc
Guffen went to Mrs. Thorn's farm.
Although according to the surgeons, DR..
McGuffen must have become uncon-
scious soon after his skull was frac-
tured, he got up and walked two miles
to Lindsay, where he was placed aboard
train No. 16 and taken to Welch.
In his brief intervals of consciousness
the wounded man refuses to say more
than that the quarrel was about busi-
ness. DR.. McGutfen is about 60 years
Of age, and Mr.. Williams at least
twenty years younger.

Boston, April 14-The bodies of two
persons, a man and a woman, were
found today in the ruins of Sunday s
fire at Chelsea. The bodies of three
unknown persons had been recovered
previously. 1t was reported this after
noon that the body of a sixth victim had
been found, but the police say the
rumor is incorrect. The bodies found
today are thought to be those of Mrs.
John B. Hake and Willard c, Sanborn,
a carpenter. The three bodies found
previously here have not been identified
One of the most serious problems
that developed today as a result of the
Chelsea fire was re-uniting families
separated during the confusion of the
contiagration. A canvass of the re-
fugees revealed the astonishing fact
that the cities of Boston and Chelsea
have in their care nearly two hundred
children who cannot find their parents,
Most Of them are under ten years Of
age, and not few babies unable to
walk. The refugees were comfortably
sheltered and fed during the night.
The relief fund has grown until it is
now said that those who are charged
with the work have plenty to pay i'm
mediate expenses,

Winchester Dry.

Winchester, Va, April IS
The LEGAL option election held
here today resulted in an overwhelm-
ing victory for the dry ticket. The
eleven saloons in Winchester were
voted out of business by a majority
of one hundred and four votes, out of
total of eight hundred and forty
nine polled in the two city wards.
Two years ago Winchester voted wet
by fifty-two.
The result was received on the
streets tonight by a wild demonstra-
tion. Bells rung, horns footed and
cheer after cheer went up to pro-
claim the victory of the drys.
The election throughout the day
was characterized by scenes of the
greatest excitment. A thousand wo-
men and school children paraded the
streets this morning bearing dry ban
ners aloft and singing temperance
songs. All day long prayers were
being offered in the churches for the
success Of the temperance ticket. The
best of order was maintained during
the day by a large force of extra
policemen.
For weeks past a hotly contested
campaign has been wsged by both
sides. The result was in doubt until
the vote has been counted. The fight
OF the dry's was backed by the Vir-
ginia Anti-Saloon League.
The eleven saloons, paying five
thousand five hundred dollars to the
city and four thousand four hundred
to the State annually, will close May
1st.

Action Of Majority Committee Platform
is Adopted and Delegates to Denver are
Chosen.
New York, April Is. State Senator
Patrick II. McCarren, leader of the
Kings County Democracy, was un-
seated tonight as the delegate to the
party's State convention in Carne0ie's g
Hall to select representatives to the
Denver national convention, after 8
two days bitter contest before the
Committee on Credentials.
He was alternately greeted with
cheers and derisive cries when he fin
ally addressed the convention, and
once was insulted by a man on the
platform near him. The Senator in
stantly told this man that he would
talk to him outside.
APPEAL FOLLOWED BY DEFIANCE.
Amid scenes tense and dramatic he
first appealed to the convention to re-
fuse to sanction the majority report of
the committee and followed this up
with deliberate defiance of those who.
he said, were excluding him from the
place in the party councils to which
he had been chosen by his Democratic
constituents. He threatened the Tam
many delegates with the statement
that If the plans to put him outside
the party lines were carried out. no
one in the convention hall would live
long enough to see the election of an
other Democratic Mayor of New York.
From the time he entered the hall Mr..
McCarren received the cheers of his
loyal followers, but the majority were
against him and the counter demonstra-
tions were greater in volume. The
proceedings were attended with much
confusion and disorder, in which both
the McCarren men and their opponents
participated.
The business for which the convention
was assembled, the selection of del
egates to the national convention, the
nomination of Presidential electors and
the adoption of platform was almost
forgotten in the excitement over the
McCarren contest.
When the vote was announced Nc
Carren, with his followers, rose and
left the hall. Bird S. Coler, and his
fellow delegates at once entered and
replaced the McCarren men. Senator
McCarren said that he would carry his
fight to the Denver convention.
After the settlement of the McCarren
and other contests. the convention pro-
ceeded with its task and named del
egates and electors and adopted a
platform.

SYSTEMATIC CROP ROTATION.


Wheat farming in q majority Of the
wheat-producing regions OF the United

of agriculture that is followed by the
farmer with the least ability AMI bust
ness capacity. His knowledge Of ag-
~riculture is usually less than that Of
any other class OF farmers, excepting
perhaps the tenant farmers OF the
south; and SO long as natures bounty,
in the form Of soil fertility, lasts, he
prospers. Then when the soil loses

PROSPECTS
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
SMALL BUNCH OF CANDIDATES
REPORT FOR PRACTICE.

From Thursdays Daily.
For the past two weeks a small
bunch OF football candidates have
been reporting for practice to Coach
Dittemore at North Park. The team
this year is greatly handicapped by
the fact that there is not one Of the
old guard back at school. In spite OF
this there have been about fifteen
fellows out every day getting into
shape. Coach Dittemore has been with
them. and hopes for . light, but fast
team.
One complaint that Is being offered
is that the school Is lacking in proper
enthusiasm. Up to last week there
vas hardly any show Of interest in
the doings OF the candidates. Those
particularly interested say that there
must be mor interest shown in the
welfare Of the team or it will be Inn
possible to have a successful squad.
As yet no specific schedule has been
arranged. hut negotiations are being
carried On with Livingston, Butte,
'Bozeman, Miles City and Sheridan.
Among the most likely candidates are
Mccormick, Armitage. George Wal
