Herbert Jordan, Former Secretary to Ex-Gov. Bailey Assassinated at
 Seneca, Kan.

Seneca. Kan, Feb. 16.-Herbert Jor- dan was shot and killed on Main street at 7:05 o'clock Friday night. The streets were almost deserted at the time.

When they reached Jordan. he was still breathing, but died almost i'm mediately without uttering a word.
 Only one shot was fired. The 32-cal- ibre bullet struck Jordan at the base of the skull, ranging slightly upward severing the spinal cord. The killing seems to have been premeditated.

Bal ley as private secretary when the lat ter was in congress and had served on several committee clerkships in the Kansas legislature. He was unmarried and made his home with his brother.

Chicago. Feb. 18.-Interstate com merce Commissioner Prouty Monday resumed the hearing of the case or the Corn Belt Meat Producers association oqainst Missouri. Iowa and illinois railroads in which the association seeks a reduction of the interstate shipping rates on livestock in Iowa The hearing was commenced some time ago in Des Moines, la, and was continued until Monday.

 He was asked by Commissions Prouty if the average Missouri rate is lower than the average rate In Iowa and replied that they were.

HOW SHALL ALDER MEN BE NOMINATED?
Democratic Central Committee to De- eide Whether by Wards or by Whole City No Uniform
 Rule in State.

Now that Mena has become a city of the first class it will devoive upon the City Democratic Central committee to say whether the Democratic aldermen to be voted for in the city election will be selected in the primary by the votes of the entire city, as is done in Pine Bluff, or each ward left to nominate it's own aldermen as in Fort Smith.
 There is no uniform rule throug hcut the state, and this mention is made in order that II may be discussed and plan evolved in the beginning that will be for the best interests oi the whole city.
 The aldermen must live ia the ward from which they are elected, but the whole city may select the men who are to run, or 1t may bt left to each ward to select its owr candidates.
 Of course one who runs as ar independent candidate tor alder man from a ward in order to bs elected must have the majority vote in the entire city.

 Mine.

Shamokin, Pa, Feb. 19.-All but one of the 2S men and boys who were en- tombed Monday in the Mid Valley colliery were rescued early Tuesday morning. Frank Orloskie, a miner, fell down a chute, after the accident and was killed. The men entombed by a number of pillars of coal running, causing a gangway to close in. When the miners were imprisoned they gath cred in a long well ventilated gallery and made plans as to the best means of digging their way through the blockade. The men had picks and shovels and began work without de lay. The imprisoned men heard sharp raps on the steam pipe running through the drift and felt certain of being rescued. When the rescuing party penetrated to the entombed men it was found that the men had dug for great distance through the fall of coal. There were but few persons at the entrance to the drift when the rescued men reached the surface. The men quickly made their way to their homes showing no bad effect of their experience.
