MRS. SCHENCK RELEASED.
Gives Her Own Recogn1zance to Appear
When Wanted for New Trial.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 30.-Mrs
Laura Farnsworth Schenck, wife of
John o. Schenck, who was charged
with attempting to poison, was re-
leased on her own recognizance by
Judge Jordan in the criminal court,
the bail being left at 100000
A few minutes before, she was served
with papers in a divorce action filed
by her husband, in which it was stated
that application would be made Feb
ruary for an injunction to restrain
her from communicating with or
harassing her husband or from interior
ing in any way with her children,
Virginia and Robert Schenck, or from
entering their house on the island.
The amount of alimony will also be
argued at that time.
A counter suit for divorce is being
prepared by Mrs. Schenck's counsel.
Since John o. Schenck neglected to an
nounce that he would not be respon-
sible for the debts contracted by his
wife, it is said that he will be called
on to pay the costs of the late trial,
about 100000.

After securing Sly and some jewelry
from the passengers he leaped from
the train.
When Special Agent William Nc
Cafferty of the Rio Grande, who was
on the train, was informed that the
bandit was at work in the rear coach
he started back and reached the back
platform just in time to see the holdup
jump from the train and run.
McCafferty followed and opened fire,
Buckley returning it. Buckley was shot
through the right wrist and when his
revolver dropped from his hand he sur
rendered. All the money and valuables
were recovered.

OF ALL CANADA WILL BE The
DUKE OF C0NNAUGHT
IT'S REPORTED.
Official Announcement Was Made at
Ottawa Sunday Afternoon-It Was
the Late King Edwards Wish That
His Brother Should Be Appointed to
Canadian Post.

LONDON, Jan. Sit is officially
announced that the duke of Connaught
will succeed Earl Grey in September
as governor general of Canada. The
appointment, which is for two years,
may be extended to cover longer
period.
Various reports have been current
from time to time that the duke of
Connaught would not be the next gov
ernor general of Canada, although, on
the original announcement of his APP
pointment, shortly after the death of
King Edward, it was said officially it
had been the wish of the king that the
duke of Connaught, his brother, should
go to Canada as governor general.
A late dispatch from London reported
that the duke would be appointed
regent during the absence of King
George in India for the coronation dur
bar. Such an appointment, it was said,
would serve to delay the duke replac-
ing Earl Grey.
The announcement that the duke of
Connaught will be the next governor
general of the dominion was received
at Ottawa with great satisfaction
Aside from his general popularity
throughout the empire it is felt that the
presence of so distinguished a member
of the royal family at Ottawa will give
the capital more political and social i'm
portance than ever.
The official confirmation of the APP
pointment has been received by Earl
Grey in cablegram from Lewis Vernon
Harcourt, the colonial secretary. Earl
Grey term expires in September and
it is expected the duke and duchess of
Connaught will take up their official
residence in Rideau hall some time this
month.

FARMERS UNION ASKS LAW.
Ranchers Request That Threshermen
Register Number of Bushels With
County Clerk.

Members of the farmers union hope
to see the legislature make law which
will compel every owner or manager of
a threshing machine to register with the
county clerk of the county in which he
operates the number of bushels
threshed.
Without this the number of bushels
produced is a matter of guesswork, the
farmers say, and they think it impor-
tant that the actual grain output of
the northwest should be known.
The farmers wish to make this tri-
state affair and urge the passage of the
law by the Idaho and Oregon legisla-
lures as well as by that of Washington.
The matter will be taken up for dis
cussion at the big tri-state farmers
meeting at Walla Walla next month.

FEARFUL VOLCANO ERUPTS.
Island of Philippines Sinks Two Feet
in Few Minutes.

Manila, Jan. 31.-Observers sent out
by the bureau of science to study the
eruptions of the volcano Taal have tele-
graphed the eruptions occurred Monday
morning, simultaneously with two pro
longed earthquakes.
The island upon which the volcano is
located sank two feet. An electrical
storm continued for two hours, with
deafening thunder.
Lava and stones were belched 5000
feet. The constabulary assisted the
panic stricken natives. One cavalry
man was killed by the wreck of house
on the lake shore. Following the sink
ing of the island a wave four feet high
swept over the shore for radius Of
four miles, wrecking a number of BAN
boo shacks.
These, however, had been evacuated
because of eruptions.
The terrific explosions in the air pros
trated many of the constabulary. The
observatory reports a total of 1872
shocks. The Southern railroad has not
been damaged, but three inches of mud
and ashes cover the tracks in places
which has held up traffic. The observa
tory accounts say Manila is sinking. II
is said that Taal and Lemery have been
considerably damaged by mud and
stones.
Talsya is partly submerged and the
crops ruined.

as high as 10 cents ton.
Under the terms of The bill coal is
