SENATOR FROM
THREE STATES

Only one man thus far has been
sufficiently versatile to be elected tn
the United States senate from three
different states.
The man who made this unique po-
lis.cal record was James Shields. ~ho
~as born in County Tyrone. Ireland.
In 1910. He was senator from Illinois.
Minnesota and Missouri.
Enigrating to this country at an
early age. he took up the study of
law and located at KAskAskia, Ill. M
sooner had he become a fuii-nedged
citizen OF that state than he proceeded
TO help himself to every Office that
was not nailed down. He was sue :
cessiveiy member OF the legislature,
| state auditor. supreme court judge.
general land office commissioner and
n soldier in the Mexican war, being
breveted a major general He wound
up his career in Illinois with the SEN
a.orship.
Taking = liking to Minnesota, no
moved I'M there and made himself so
popular that he was soon handed the
senatorship from that state.
He was next lnred to California. bur
the breaking out OF the war between
the states prevented him from ac-
dufrihg anything p0tirfcarfy. He en-
listed in the Union array from that
state, and at the close of hostilities
located in Missouri. His first office
there was ad5utAnt-general. At the
first opportunity he took over the SEN
atorship.
Had he not been born In foreign
country 1t Ia quite probable that this
genial man would have gone altar
the presidency Of the United States.
He died 1t Ottumwa. Iowa. in 1879.

ton, Al Murphy's hotel last night
several matters pertaining TO the fu-
ture plans and Reorganization were
discussed, informally.

a proposition offered by Coach Frank
Dobscn, OF Richmond college. Mr..
Dobson, stated last night that he VISA
willing to make the Sports associa-
ton, an attractive offer regarding the
spring base ball games that had been
secured for this city, between several
well known colleges throughout the
East he, stated that he was making
this offer, entirely tor the purpose OF
assisting the association, az il was
practically certain that they would
be unable to book any baseball games
at this late day. as practically all o.
the leading colleges have their
schedules for the coming season com
plcted.
In making this statement Mr.. Dob
son. made 1t plain that he was not
doing SO from selfish standpoint. as,
the games win be played regardless OF
whether the association handles
them or not. He also stated that
should the OFFER be fAvorAbiy taken
up by the Sports association. he would
arrange TO have. several additional
sames added to the ones that have
been secured.
Mr.. Bubsun's proposition will be
taken up ~ the meeting OF the Aaso-
citation. which has been called for
O'Clock Sunday afternoon At Murphy's

There was also a sale of 10000 bags of Porto Ricos for prompt clearance at 10 cents, c. i. f.. which is about on the basis of cents for Cubas, cost and freight. Prices at the close were nom inal.
 There we're no changes in refined sugar locally. which is listed at from 10 to IS cents for fine granulated, but an outport refiper was said to have reduced his price from l5 cents to 14.5 for fine granulated Transportation conditions were said to be improving. and as meltings are commenc- ing to increase, the distribution of sugar is expected to show improvement in the near future.
 There was only a small trade in sugar futures. total transactions amounting to only 300 tons with prices closing 10 to 15 points lower in sympathy with the weakness in raw sugar
