manded to open the door in the name
of the law. He is unable to restore
himself to the DR.. Jekyll existence
AS HYDE his life is forfeited, and he
wretched man ends his life with pois-

police enter, too late to save him for
the gallows.

RECALL is DENOUNCED
BY CARDINAL O'CONNELL

Boston, March 22.-Cardinal O'Con-
nell coupled stirring tribute to Pres
ident Tafe and a denunciation of the
judicial recall in an addresses at a
dinner here last night. He said:
THE very life of the peoples liber-
ties, religious and civic, are in danger
when the foundations of law and the
independence of judge s. be they civil
or ecclesiastical, are imperiled.
Liberty founded upon the eternal
principles of divine justice, interpreted
and applied in civil life by Godfear-
ing magistrates, untrammeled and un-
fettered and unafraid of passing pop
ular passions, that in a word is the
guarantee of what alone has made this
country great-perfect security, civil
and religious liberty to all.
mo one has voiced these sacred
principles more clearly, fearlessly, UNI
compensatory than the big-hearted
and cool-headed statesman who now
presides over the destinies of the
United States of America"

DIR. JekyII and Mr.. Hyde.

Dr. Jekyll, young physician exper-
iments in secret and discovers a mix
ture that will change a person from
good to bad and another to act as an
antidote
In his natural stages, the courtly,
polished, tender-hearted DR.. Jekyil,
becomes Mr.. Hyde, monster fearei
and hated.
BY aid of his medicine, Dr. Jeky]l
is able to drive Mr.. Hyde away, bu.
as the change often takes place ar
times when he is far from his office
he is unable to mix the drug that re-
stores him. At these time he lives
in wretched lodgings, under the name
of Mr.. Hyde and pays secret visits
to DR.. Jekyll. Friends are surprised
that the courtly doctor should have
such an intimate, but he alone knows
that DR.. Jekyll can never be rid III
Mr.. Hyde.
Jekyll loves the wears daughter.
and his love is returned. While call
ing upon her one day the change
comes upon him, and he hastily eI.

becomes Mr. Hyde. He returns to the
girl not as sutton, but intends to he
her slayer
The vicar hears his daughters cri IS
and CALAMITY runs to her aid and is
killed. Hyde fees, safe for the time

CONCERT TO
BE ENJOYED
WEDNESDAY
AT THE BELL music STUDIO
-Four Artists to Appear in a
Concert Then

Those who will attend the concert
to be given by the Metropolitan Con-
cert Company at the Bell Music Std
dio next Wednesday evening will have
the pleasure of attending one of the
most pleasing and artistic musical per-
formances that has been given herr
this season.
The company consists of Mr.. Pran-
ski, the Russian tenor; Miss Richey,
prima donna; Miss Gerwing, violinist,
and Mr.. John Rebarer, pianist. All
of these artists have enviable reputa-
tons, which have been achieved dur
ing their many appearances in this
country and abroad
The fact that vocal, violin and piano
solos will be rendered gives assurance
of a varied and well balanced pro-
gram that will prove of special inte.-
est and pleasure to the music lovers
of the city. 1t is due to the fact that
, the company is on it's return from a
, successful trip made as far south as
Tampa, Fla, that they will appear
here in concert this week.
Indications are that large and SUE
cessful concert will be given as the at
tendance will likely be all that could
be expected to greet an attraction of
such meritorious kind, where both
variety and artistic merit will blend
so well. Tickets may be obtained from
the management of the studio at 81
apiece in advance of the concert or at
the door that night

Douglass found the big league

plugged for nine hits, passed five
hostiles, the combination yielding
six runs.

SENATE APPROVES
EICHT-H0UR BILL
Extends Principle to All Labor
on Federal Contracts.

Washington. June by the decis-
i've vote of As to II the senate passed
the house bill extending the eight
hour principle to contracts involving
labor on government work. The mega
tive votes were cast by Senators Brad
ley, Dillingham;. DUPONT, Gallinger,
Hepburn, Oliver, Page, Root. Sanders
and Wetmore, Republicans, and Percy,
Democrat.
The measure had been before the
senate on several occasions and had
been fully debated On this account
the discussion was brief
Senator Bailey of Texas and Senator
Sanders of Tennessee opposed the bill,
the former on the ground that the
government has no right to restrict
the right of any man in the matter OF
labor, and the latter on the plea that
private concerns could not continue to
take government contracts with the
time limit imposed
The measure provides that every
contract hereafter adopted for the
government requiring the employment
of laborers or mechanics shall contain
a provision that no laborer or me-
chanic doing any part of the work con-
templated by the contract shall be re-
quired or permitted to work more than
eight hours in one calendar day. A
penalty of S. is imposed for every
violation OF the provision

FOUR HURT IN A WRECK
Mixed Train On the Great Western Road
Gets Into Trouble Near
Win0na.

Winona, Mimi, June IA mixed
train on the Chicago Great West
ern road was wrecked near Wi
mona at Bear Creek. Several cars
were derailed. Four persons were
injured, one of them seriously.
Peter Nissen and Richard Bied
Ter, brakemen, are in a Winona hos.
pital as the result of their injuries
and Harry Johnson, baggageman
and Jerry Mayer, conductor, were
somewhat cut and bruised. Mis-
sens head was injured and his left
arm cut, but he will likely recover,
as also will Biedler, whose back
was wrenched.
The men were riding in a caboose
which yesterday replaced the usual
passenger coach. Tony Hans of AL.
tura was the only other occupant,
and he jumped when he saw the
trucks of refrigerator car ahead
leave the track.
The refrigerator car and caboose
went down twenty-foot embank.
ment, but the front cars remained
on the track.
That the refrigerator car was too
heavy for the track, which is full
of curves, is assigned as the prob
able cause of the accident. All the
injured men were brought to Wi
mona.

KellOgg's friends will argue that
he is an available running mate for
Colonel Roosevelt from the geograph-

of both Colonel Roosevelt and Presi.

that Mcdowell probably stole il

the only member of the crew to
take the evening Minneapolis and

He saw Mcdowell in the Klossner
depot and the latter asked him
when the next train would leave
north. Young Siebenbrunner inform
ed him that there would not be .
northbound train until early next
morning, but that a passenger train,
bound for New Ulm, would be due
soon. Thereupon Mcdowell excitedly
exclaimed that he did not want to
go to New Ulm for reasons best
known to himself.
Story Told at Dance.
Siebenbrunner, after arriving in
New Ulm, went to the Star hall to
attend a dance At about midnight
he noticed Night Policeman Joseph
T. Tauer enter the hall and approach
Sheriff julius, who was also present
at the dance. The night policeman
was telling the sheriff about the
thefts and was describing the thief,
when "Mose," who had overheard
the description, informed the sher-

seen him few hours before. He
was given a handsome purse by the
boys for his achievement.

GIVES MARINES
PERMIT TO LAND
Cuban President Sends Instruc-
tiOns to Commander.

Havana, June President Gomez
telegraphed General Montesgudo. the
commander-in-chief of the Cuban
army, who is at the scene of the hos.
tilities in the province of Oriente,
stating that the general might permit
American marines to land on Cuban
soil to guard foreign property.
The dispatch added that the Cuban
forces then might retire from guard
ing such places and devote themselves
to pursuing the insurgents.
The message of President Gomez
said the government had been sue
cessful in all the provinces excep,
Oriente.
There was a copy of dispatch sent
to General Monteagudo by the COM
mandant of the American naval sta
ton at Guantanamo acquainting Gen
eral Monteagudo of his intention to
send the marines of the gunboat Pa
ducah to Daiquiri to protect American
property there.
Annexed to the message was Cen
eral Monteagudo's reply that he had
arranged for the protection of Dali.
quiri with an ample force, that he
could not consent to the landing of
American marines without the &C.
quiescence of his government.
The American legation received ad.
vices from Daiquiri that the plant of
the American Iron company had been
attacked, but that it's assailants were
held in check by forty guards, who
later were reinforced by 100 other
men. This combined force drove off
the insurgents and on the arrival OF
the Paducah the fighting was over
and apparently there was no necessity
for extending the aid of American ma
rines.
There was great excitement in Ha
vana when several of the newspapers
issued extra editions announcing a
battle had taken place not far from
Santiago in which many rebels had
been killed by the fire of the Cuban
artillery. The government said there
had been a collision between national
and rebel forces in which the formers
artillery was brought into play. ap
parently with good effect. The extent
of the casualties, it was announced,
was unknown.
