his declaration, shat the South is a
part of the Union, and as such is enti-
tied to be considered in the nation al
election" Mr.. Taft spent the day talk.
ing in towns and cities in Kentucky.
He is the first republican presiden-
tial candidate who ever came to the
Blue Grass state. He will be the first
republican presidential candidate to
carry his campaign into North Caro-
lima and Virginia, which he intends
visiting in the next two days. His
reception has been typical of southern
hospitality. The attention he receiv-
ed while expounding republican doc.
trines was such as to indicate more
than passing interest. The candi.
date made many references to his re.
ception during the day.

and determined tone OF voice told
him to get out or she would shoot.
She spoke as though she meant it and
Calvert got Oft the mower, his team
ran away but ran up against q fence
and stopped. He held his hands in air
until he got to the horses and then by
keeping on the off-side of the animals
away from the big gun unhitched and
made his escape, but the mower is still
in the field. A warrant was issued
for the arrest of Mrs. Soper and the
troubles will be aired in the courts of

which we're sweeping away their

The ill-fated train was ditched by
spre aiding rails at Nowicki siding, a
few miles south of Metz, and the ter.
rified refugees were forced to abandon
the cars and rush for safety ithe,'
down the track with burning forests
on either side, or into TIE pioSed
fields near the siding. Eleven of the
were unable to escape quickly enough
from the gondoia car which they were
occupying. Their charreG bodies were
found there today when rescuers
reached the scene.
The flames were already sweeping
through the village when Engineer
Foster started his train for Alpena.
Nearing Nowicki crossing he saw
blazing piles of cedar ties on both
sides of the track. Opening wide the
throttle, he tried to dash through at
full speed, but the heat had loosened
the rails and they had spread, and
the train left the track. Blazing piles
of ties surrounded it. and in an in.
stant the cars caught fire.

VISIONS OF VICTORY.
Political Prophets Announce Prob
able Result Of Election.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-According
to the White House horoscope, not
only will Taft be the next president of
the United States, but he is already
as good as elected. With the coming
OF frost, in the opinion of Theodore
Roosevelt and his official family, the
democratic hopes and prospects which
were 80 obviously good month ago
have chilled. They say that Bryan
shot his bolt but failed to hit the
mark.
The latest republican predictions
are that Bryan will lose his own state
of Nebraska by anywhere from s, 900 to
to 10000; that Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Kansas, the Dakotas, Illinois
and Ohio, in all of which states the
democrats were claiming to have made
such large gains as to put them in the
doubtful class, will surely cast their
electoral votes for the republican can
didate and that Missouri is just as
certainly going to Bryan.
