"A meeting of the Commercial
club was held last Thursday evening
for the purpose of discussing the
proposition Of the Dubuque. Illinois
and Wisconsin r. R. Co. to extend
their road on from Platteville through
this city to Bloomington. The
proposition of the promoters was that
Lancaster and Bloomington citizens
put up the amount required for a
survey to each place amounting in our
case to about So. 800. The secruity that
they offered to the two towns, they
said would consist of q surety bond
covering the cost of the survey.
Their proposition was presented to
the % or 30 members in attendance
but it awakened little interest.
Although most of them were in favor
new railroad facilities of son e
description they did not feel like
putting up So, 500 for preliminary
work without knowing that it would
result in a road being built. The
Dubuque promoter stated that with
out a doubt the road will be built to
Platteville but their engineer, Mr..
Collins does not want to go to work
on such short line. They state that
if the extension is not built on
through Lancaster other towns will
be favored, perhaps Cuba City and
Hazel Green. Lancaster and Bloom
ington citizens generally would with
out doubt, boost such proposition
but none of them feel like digging up
for another survey. No definite &C
ton was made at this meeting of the
Commercial club and there is absolute
ly no enthusiasm over the proposition
made by the officers of the Dubuque,
Illinois and wisconsin Railroad.
Their terms will have to be different
if they expect to do business in Lam
caster.

FAVOR REPUBLICAN
Party Leaders Do Not Want Demo.
cratic Senator Elected

Washington, Nov. 27-Senator Full
toms mission to Hot Springs was to
ask President-elect Taft to take q
hand in the Oregon senatorial situa-
ton.
Leading Republicans in Oregon are
urging very strongly against the
election of Democrat to the senate
regardless of the fact that in the re-
cent primaries Governor Chamberlain
defeated the Republican candidate.
In other sections of the country Re-
publican leaders are taking the posi-
tion that the Republican legislature
Of Oregon owes 1t as a duty to the
Republican party at large to elect
q Republican senator. It is being
argued that under such primary law
as that which resulted in, a 1declara-
ton in favor Of Governor Chamber
lain, might at some time result in the
changing of the complexion Of the
senate. Strong pressure, therefore,
is being brought upon the Republican
legislature to name a Republican az
the successor to Mr.. Fulton.
II Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Hitchcock take
the position that Republican should
be named, 1t is said this decision
would go long way toward accom-
plishing that result.

night of the crime he was not present
In his usual haunts, but the morning
after. when he read an account of the
tragedy In a newspaper, he appeared
to be greatly excited and swore that
he would have vengeance on the as
sassins.
Madame Steinheil seemed to realize
that the net in which she has en-
tangled herself in her efforts to divert
suspicion elsewhere, was fast closing
in about her, and after she had been
examined by M. Hamard, the chief of
detectives, announced that she had
been caught in her own trap. Madame
Steinheil repeated her statement to
the newspaper men to NJ. Hamard in
the morning. She was hysterical, and
sobbed out her story between walls of
anguish. In many respects her state
ments were conflicting. She said Wolff
committed the murder from the motive
of robbery, but that he spared her on
account of her daughter. She said she
had kept silent up to the present time
because CT VOLTS, threats to charge
her with having melted him to the
murders Ii she denounced him. She
declared emphatically and repeatedly
that Wolff was nothing to her and that
she was l.ot in any way party to the
crime. She did say. however, that she
had hated her husband and that she
had lover In whose eyes she wanted
to justify herself. II hoped to justify
myself before man whose love I
have now lost forever" she cried. This
man is said to be French nobleman,
and In his identity Is believed to lie
the key to this romantic tragedy.
There was series of dramatic con-
formations at the palace of justice
throughout the morning and the ex-
citement in and about the building was
intense. The parties to these inter-
views we're Madame Steinheil and her
daughter Marthe, Alexandra Wolff and
the man Couillaud. Each was SUBJ
jected separately to an examination by
M. Hamard and M. Leydett.

intends to send $50 soldiers to take

Petit Goave. The general declared
that the reports that three men had

Washington. Nov. 27-President
Roosevelt has signed proclamations
creating the Ocala national forest In
Marion county, Florida and the Dakota
national forest in Billings county,
North Dakota. These two sites have
thus been added to nineteen in other
states and the territory of Alaska

lied, slowly but distinctly: II have

fenced him to the state prison at
Michigan City for an indeterminate
term of from two to twenty-one years,
The court then instructed the sheriff
to return him to his cell.
Attorney Worden of the defense
said last night that a motion for a
new trial would be made, and, should
1t be refused, an appeal to the Indiana
supreme court would follow. The In
diana supreme court Is two years be-
hind in its work and so this case
could not be reached until after he
had served the minimum time of his
sentence. Mr.. Worden declared the
verdict to be ridiculous.
III he was guilty at all." said the
attorney, "he would have been guilty
of murder. He should have been ac-
Quilted"
The motion for new trial will be
based on the courts instruction that
they could find Lamphere guilty of ar
son.
SHOULD Ile case De carried to the
supreme court and sent back for re-
trial Lamphere could not be tried on
any charge In this particular case ex-
cepting arson; the crime of which he
was convicted. However, in an event
OF that kind, the state would elect to
try him on one of the other indict-
ments, probably the Helgelein case.
Members of the Jury are reticent
about discussing what occurred in the
jury room, but enough has been learn
ed to know that but for two members.
Lamphere would have been found
guilty of murder or manslaushter. In
other words, the verdict is something
of a compromise. Several members Of
the jury 1t is understood, held out
long for murder in the first degree
with life sentence. So far as could
be learned none was for hanging.

No German Vessel Will be Senteo Seat
of Trouble.

Berlin, Nov. 27-The foreign office
today received advices from Port au
Prince, Hayti, to the effect that the sit
uation there showed considerable i'm
provement. Several merchants have
requested the government to furnish
them protection, but up to the present
time no official demand from the Ger
man diplomatic representatives has
been received. Consequently no Ger
man warships have been ordered to
Hayti and no command to that end
will be made unless the request is re-
ceived from the German representa-
tives. In view of the fact that the
French and American warships soon
will be at Hayti, the foreign Office does
not think German vessel will be re-
quired.

HICKS ON TRIAL
Charged With Killing Eccles Lennox
in C. p. II. Sleeper.

in C. P. II. Sleeper.
Winnipeg, Nov. 27.-At 1880 last
night Thomas H. Hicks, charged with
the murder of Eccles Lennox was
placed on preliminary hearing at
the police court. The inquest will be
held over.
Hicks will say nothing about the
case but through his counsel main
tains his innocence. What the trial
will bring out is not made known
but the police declare that no further
arrests are likely to take place.
There is talk, though, of some very
strong evidence being brought out to-
day which will be of very material
assistance In the case, perhaps show
Ing Hicks as an accomplice and an
other suspect as the principal. 1t is
rumored that evidence will be brought
out at the trial which has probably
never been thought OF and it is de-
clared has never appeared in print.
Exhibited Roll Of Bills.
From the investigation carried on,
1t has been learned that Lennox sent
car. cleaner for two bottles Of
whiskey, while was was occupying a
seat In the first class sleeper in which
he was found dead. He gave the man
five dollar bill and one dollar
bill, and told him to return the
change. After returning the change,
Lennox informed the man who had
gone after the liquor. that he could
keep 3sixty-five cents. and return the
three dollars, which were left after
the whiskey had been paid for. At
the same time he exhibited roll Of
bills, and 1t is thought that the mur-
derer and his accomplice here de-
cided to relieve Lennox of all his
money.
The case on this point Is most puz-
sling, as several witnesses will testi-
fy that several men were near the
car "Shuswap" at that time., It is
known, however. that the car clean
