sBilly" Morgan's Premonition
ON . Kansas Train.
Thought He Would Be Killed
in q Wreck.
Elected by 100000, Too, Nor
gan Thought.
But Train Wasn't Wrecked and
Editor Is Safe.

II premonftions always came true.
"Billy'' Morgan Of Hutchinson woulo
have been killed in wreck a rev
nights ago and his wife woulo nave
been elected lieutenant governor on the
Republican ticket by 100000 plurality.
But the Hutchinson editor awoke the
next morning to find that he was Sui
a candidate on the state ticket.
Morgan's premonition came rev
nights ago when he was riding across
Kansas on a train to fin a speaking
date. The Republican candidate had
reached for his grip for his pajamas
when an awful thought flashed tnrou8n
his mind. 1t was a real premonitlon.
II felt that the train on which l was
riding was going to be wrecked" said
Morgan in Topeka today. Even the
details of the accident were as clear
as day. / knew that was to pc killed.:
My impulse was to pull the bell coro
and get oft at the next station. But the
train kept racing over the rails ana !
g: there in my berth with the cold
sweat on my forehead, thinking over
a thousand different things.
zone of the first things I thought
about was my business affairs. l de-
cided they were in pretty fair shape.
Then I thought about my insurance
policies. They were paid up and l
breathed a little easier. All the time 1
was waiting fer the train to go in the
ditch.
MY candidacy sWaS one OF tne
things that worried me. I wondered
whom the state committee would
place on the ticket in my place.
decided they would probably name
Mrs. Morgan. She was out over the
state making speeches for me and it
seemed she would be the logical can
didate. 1t all came to me in connec-
ton with the premonition concerning
the wreck. saw her name on the
ticket and foresaw her election by
100000. Some time while / was laying
there thinking it over. 1 went to sleep.
The next morning I was surprised to
wake up and find that was still alive
and on the ticket. Next time I have a
premonition I will discount it 80 per
cent"
Morgan is spending the day in To-
peka. He will leave this afternoon
for Abilene, where he will speak to-
night.
THE Republican ticket will win in
Kansas" said Morgan. land the size
of the majority depends only on the
vote that goes to the polls. The Pro-
gressives are not organized effectively
and their vote will be only the de-
termined expression of those who still
dnsite to file further protest against
the Chicago convention. Kansas wom-
on were not voting when the Chicago
convention was held and they feel very
Mttle concern about the action Of the
convention"

BOMBS IN CHURCHES.
Explosions in Two Catholic Houses OF
Worship in New York.

New York. Oct. bombs have been
exploded on two church properties in
this city. The first was planted in the
famous st. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth
avenue. when two persons were injured
and part Of the interior edifice was
wrecked. The second was set off, seven
hours later in an areaway close to
the rectory Of st. Alphonsus Roman
Catholic church on West Broadway.
Every window in the rectory was brok-
en-. Failing glass cut the hand of a
priest in that building.
Priests Of st. Patrick's only could
suggest that the bomb was placed by
q demented person with q fancied
grievance against the church or its
clergy. In endeavoring to recall who
might have grievances against the
church OF st. Alphonsus the police re-
called that 1t was this church that
Frank Tannenbaum and his Industrial
Workers Of the World followers entered
during their demonstrations last winter.
Tannenbaum was sent to Jail as a re-
suit OF this incident and there were dis
turbances in churches and streets for
several weeks subsequently. There was
NO evidence to connect the I. w. w,
with the outrage.

Paris. Oct 1.-THE following on

Paris this afternoon:

troops have occupied Ypres.

the Disc. the operations are develop

in the region of Berry-Au-Bac have
been confirmed.
''Third-On our right wing there is
nothing new.
while it is not our custom to re-
ply to the inaccuracies Of the German
nounce the false news published in
certain German newspapers concern
ing the pretended destruction Of two
divisions of Franch cavalry. This in
formation Is absolutely erroneous.
The truth is that certain forces of
French and German cavalry, with
supports, have been engaged for sew
Estaires and Bailleul. The German
cavalry succeeded in making very
slight advance between the Canal OF
La Basse and the Lys, but they were
obliged to draw back in the territory
north OF Lyse.
cavalry are assuredly as perceptfble
as our own. One Of the German dtvi-
sions suffered particularly because 1t
was pursued during one entire day
by our aviators, who did not cease to
throw bombs down upon German
troops.

operating around verdun. One OF these
efforts was characterized by their at
