Burlington, Kan. Nov. 12.--Rev
French E. Oliver. who is holding a
revival meeting here, has issued an
open letter to William J. Bryan urging
the Nebraskan to become an evan
gelist, and predicting that he would
become an equal of the apostle Paul.
Twelve years ago. writes Rev.
Oliver. II wrote you letter in which
I stated my conviction that you should
preach the gospel. and added the
statement that II you would ccnse-
crate your wonderful talents to God
as an evangelist--the Bryan of the
twentieth century would equal the
Paul OF the first century. as a cham
pion of the cause of Christ.
Personally your three defeats have
been three sources of sorrow to me, as
I have hoped TO see you elected to the
presidency. Who knows? Perhaps
God has withheld the presidency from
you in order that you may become
more to your country than president
I am firmly convinced that one ambas.

more to this nation than 10000 pres.

10000 persons, including representa-.

the Fore River Shipbuilding company
yesterday to witness the launching Of
Americas most powerful sea fighter.

While the North Dakota follows
nearly dozen great vessels launched
at the Fore River yards, her advent
into the sea was regarded as estab.

the United States navy.
The christening party came from
North Dakota, including Governor
John Burke and Miss Mary Benton,
together with several officials and
many women.
Arrangements for seeing the launch
ing were ample, there being many
vantage points about the yard, and
along the sides of the river, which is
quite narrow. The guests of the yard

EX-SENATOR CARMAcK KILLED

Robin Cooper. Young Attorney, With
@ His Father. Accosts Victim and
Bullets Fly Fast. Tragedy Is Sc
quel Of Campaign.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 1O.-Edward
Ward Carmack, former United States
senator from Tennessee, was killed
yesterday afternoon in a duel with
Col. Duncan B. Cooper, a Democrat
ic politician, and Robin Cooper, the
latter's son.
The fatal clash occurred in the
street and was the elimination of a
series of editorials that appeared in
the Tennesseean, daily paper that
has been published by Carmack since
his retirement from political life.
The articles were caustic criticisms
of the policies of Democratic leaders
and in some of them direct refer
ences were made to Col. Cooper.
He was taken to surgeons Office
and an ambulance was called and the
remains of Senator Carmack were re-
moved to an undertaker's establish.
ment.
Later Col. Cooper was taken into
custody and held at police headquar-
ters. Robin Cooper was removed to
hospital.
The shooting caused such a sensa.
raon in the city and occurred so
quickly and unexpectedly that the
police have been unable to get any
definite information from persons
who were near the scene of the trag-
edy. The Coopers will not talk, ab-
solutely refusing to make any state
ments thus far. The younger Cooper
is one of the younger attorneys of
this city and it is believed that the
father and son have agreed to refrain
from talking of the affair.
Spectators declare that Carmack
fred but one shot, but his revolver,
found where he fell, had been fired
twice, az two of the cylinders were
empty. As to which party began the
shooting, that is a mystery.

tended for a Clothing Merchant
Named Ettelson.

Chicago, Nov. IA bomb explos
sion early yesterday partially wrecked
a number of buildings, hurled people
from their beds, caused a panic
among the passengers in the Chicago
& North Western depot, tore down a
trolley wire, wrecked gas mains and
endangered the lives of hundreds.
The bomb was exploded in front Of
a clothing store owned by Isaac Et-
telson on the northeast corner of
Wells and Kinzie streets.
1t was the worst of bomb explosions
which at intervals for more than a
a year have terrorized sections of
Chicago. More than $4,000 damage
resulted.
The explosion shook the North
Western depot so that the big clock
in the tower stopped. People walk
ing along the street were knocked
down and great excitement resulted
when trolley cars on the Wells street
line stopped.
The breaking of the gas mains
caused the air to become filed with
poisonous gases. Guests in the Hotel
North, the Kinzie and other hotels
were greatly frightened as they were
tumbled out of their beds.
Dwelling houses in the neighbor-
hood were filled by gas, which over
powered the residents, who were
saved by policemen and firemen.
The motive for the explosion is not
known, but the police are hunting
for two men who were seen lettering
around the building shortly before
the explosion and were also seen run
ming away. Scores of detectives are
working on the case.

the man; United States is good
enough for me-" We'll. them" said
the lawnlaker. why do you have that
notice On the wall? That means
French is spoken here" "well, Ill

The troops of .he United States

Preparations for the elections are
now complete. All of the election
officers have been appointed, the
electoral boards organized and the
last ballots distributed and the whole
island is absorbed in the outcome of
the struggle for supremacy.
The conservatives are headed by
Gen. Mario Menocal and DIR. Rafael
Montora for president and vice presi-

M. Gomez and his former bitter rival
in the party leadership. Alfredo
Zayas, are the nominees of the Liber-
al party, the Miguel and Zayas fac
tions which finally united their forces
in support of Gen. Gomez on the un-
derstanding that he would not be
nominated for a second term.
Both Gen. Gomez and Gen. Memo
cal are veterans of the Revolution
and have a large following in virtue
of their distinguished services in the
field.
DR.. Montoro is the foremost orator
in Cuba and was nominated in the
expectation of his his being able to
control the Spanish vote, but he is
unpopular with many Cubans on ac-
count of his attitude during the rev.
olution, when he held Office in the au-
tonomous government in the last
