Nippert; state treasurer, Isaac B. Cam­ eron; attorney-general, John . M. Sheets; judge supreme court, L. B. Emerson; board public works, W. G. Johnson. The platform adopted says in part: "The principle of protection has achieved its most signal triumph in the results of the Dingley tariff law. It has given us marked prosperi­ ty at home and a rapidly growing ex­ port trade, which are the envy of the world. The Republican tariff policy has made the farmer and laborer more prosperous than ever, and no legisla­ tion should be permitted which will imperil the interests of either."- On trusts and other issues it says: "We recognize the right of both labor and capital to combine when such combi­ nations are wisely administered for the general good, but combinations which create monopolies to control prices or limit production, are an evil which must be met by effective legis­ lation, vigorously Enforced. The only legislation national or in Ohio on this subject has been enacted by the Repub­ lican party, and'that party can be safe­ ly intrusted to deal with this problem."

The west-bound passenger train on the Wabash road was wrecked at Cass Station, four miles from Logan&port, Ind., early Wednesday morning. Ev­ ery physician of. Peru was caned to the scene of the wreck. It Is reported 16 were killed and many injured. The train was due at Peru at 10:55 o'clock, p. m., but left Peru one hour late, in charge of Conductor Brownley. The train was running at high speed to make up lost time, and when nearing Cass a switch five miles east of Lo- gansport, plunged through a trestle that had been swept away by a wash­ out caused by the recent heavy rains. The engine was totally demolished and the three passenger coaches and two baggage cars were derailed and over' turned. LOOKING FOR A MOTIVE. Officials of the Japanese government are investigating the alleged plot that resulted in the assassination at Toklo last week of Hoshi Toru, the states­ man and former representative of the Japanese nation at Washington. His popularity among his countrymen adds mystery to the motive that should have rankled in the breast of an enemy HOSHI TORU. at home and gives rise to the theory that a conspiracy for his removal was carried into execution. His funeral was one of the saddest ever held among the "Yankees of the far east," and his name will go down in history as one of the strong men of Japan. HE IS A SHREWD DIPLOMAT. •zpoM a hnmpod-Cp Claim of Great Britain--BIdlcale* the Saggaattan That There la Any Tariff Coalition Agalast tlw Onltsd Ntato*. Cdu&t Cassini, the Russian Ambas­ sador, left Washington Monday, and sailed for Europe Tuesday. He carried with him Secretary Hay's explanation of this government's position regard­ ing the tariff question which is at i&^ sue between the United States and Russia. Count (jassini has shown him­ self not only a shrewd diplomat since he went to Washington, four years ago, but he has been able to convince the State Department of the real friendship of thte Czar for this govern­ ment He exposed the trumped-up claim that Great Britain alone pre­ vented a European coalition against the United States at the beginning of the war with Spain by showing that Russia had never given any encour­ agement to this proposed coalition, but had from the beginning informed the other power£ that Russia remained the friend of this' government. The Russiah ambassador has at all times endeavored to cement the ties of Samuel Kennedy, editor of an amuse­ ment paper, was horsewhipped and beaten into insensibility on his, own front porch at Akron, O., and left there unconscious. His assailants, Bert G. Work, general superintendent of the B. F. Goodrich company; Stephen H. Kohler, secretary of the Akron Varnish company; and George C. Kohler, an attorney, are all prom­ inent in society circles. They sur­ rendered to the police, admitting their guilt, and were released on bonds. During the assault Kennedy's chil­ dren ran about the street crying that their father had been killed. It re­ quired a half hour's time for a doctor to restore the injured man to con­ sciousness. His condition is not dan­ gerous. K« -Tte for Slam Lsbortn. Director Gerow of the Kansas state labor employment bureau declines the offer of Alderman Gorman of New York to send 5,000 harvest hands to Kansas. Mr. Gerow says the Kansas farmers do not want the kind of help a New York alderman would gather up from the slums of that city. He de­ clares that the offer of Alderman Gor­ man sounds all right, but that he was born In New York City and knows that any scheme promulgated by the average alderman has some kind of a job at the other end of it. "We dpn't want to contaminate our citizenship, he said, "with the class of harvesters Gorman would gather up in the alums of New York." BHD FOR MIR OF WIFE Wealthy Farmer in.an Iowa Jail for Crime.

Death came in a few seconds past midnight, while his wife was at his bedside. Judge Woods be­ came widely known through the fa­ mous Debs injunction, which after­ wards became an issue in national politics, and "government by injunc­ tion" became a current term in politi­ cal parlance. Judge Woods was deeply interested in judicial procedure in all the federal courts, and frequently made trips to Chicago while the United Slates Court was sitting there. " Marquand * Co. Forced to WalL Henry Marquand & Oo., bankers and brokers of New York, have made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors. Frank Sullivan Smith, a lawyer, was named as the assignee, and Henry W. Taft of the firm of Strong and Cadwalader, a son of Judge Taft of Ohio, chairman of the Philip­ pine commission, was chosen as the assignee's attorney. Unofficial infor­ mation was to the effect that the lia­ bilities would be not far from $8,000,- 000, of which amount $6,000,000 was said to be due to banks, trust com­ panies and other creditors, and $2,- 000,000 to Henry G. Marquand, father ojLtbe senior member of the firm. ' Dauietat^r A r rivet Too Late. IMItia Wallace Hopper arrived in Oakland, Cal., just twenty-four hours too late to see her mother, Mrs. Alex­ ander Dunsmuir, before she died Several weeks ago Mrs. Dunsmuir was taken ill, but it was only within a few day6 that her condition became danger­ ous. Mrs. Dunsmuir was formerly Mrs. Wally Wallace, her first husband being an usher in the old California Theater kn the palmy days of John Mc- Cullough. A few years ago Mrs. Wal­ lace was married secretly to Alexander Dunsmuir of Vi'-toria. B. C. Lawrence A. Bailey and Walter fielph, two hotblooded young Southern­ ers, both loved the same girl. After several wordy quarrels in one of which one young man called the other a coward, the two met by appointment in Audubon Park, New Orleans, to set­ tle the matter with their bare firsts. The battle was a short one, but it end­ ed in the death of young Selph. Bailey gave himself up to the police and was released on $1,000 bail on a charge of manslaughter. He Is nearly insane with friendship between the two govern­ ments, and, understanding the true sentiments of the President toward Russia, it is believed he will be able to so present this traiff question as to convince his government that Secre­ tary Gage's mistakes do not represent any animosity toward Russia, and will In time be corrected when the courts can pass upon them. Count Cassini ridicules the suggestion of a coalition in Europe for the purpose of waging a tariff war against the United States, and says emphatically that Russia is simply looking after her own individ­ ual Interests. Mr. Vanderlip, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, seems to have discovered evidence of Buch a tariff coalition, because Austria has sought such a coalition, but the efforts of Austria have been known here for some time, and it has also been known that Austria had failed to secure any encouragement from the other powers. There is no fear of a tariff war with Europe, but the State Department is trying to keep faith with the individual governments of Europe, and it is having soma difficulty in this because of the blunders, of the Treasury Department. A National Bank Closed. The Seventh National Bank of New York closed Its doors Thursday morn­ ing forty minutes after it had opened for business. It closed because the Controller of the Currency, Charles O. Dawes, had demanded satisfactory as surances, which the bank could not give, that its loan of $1,600,000 to Hen­ ry Marquand & Co. would be taken up by Saturday night and the cash be put In the bank. Controller Dawes was notified in reply that the bank would close, and he put Forrest Raynor, the national bank examiner, in as tem­ porary receiver. Mr. Raynor took charge a few minutes after 11 o'clock the following nptice being posted upon the bank's front door: "This bank is in the hands of the Controller of the Currency.--Forrest Raynor, national bank examiner."

The fairiilies of both are well known and highly re­ spected in New Orleans. Louis Busse, one of the wealthiest farmers near Greene, Iowa, is held in the county jail at Allison to answer the charge of killing his wife, who was found dead and partially cremated at her home near Greene last Tuesday. His hired man, Henry Snider, has been arrested as an accomplice. Snider al­ leges that Busse deliberately knocked his wife in the head, crushing her skull, cut her throat with a pocket- knife and then covered the body with a feather bed and pillows, soaked the whole mass with kerosene and set fire to it Having done this, Busse went out into the field and began helping Snider dig post holes. The fire was discovered by Frank Busse, a brother of the alleged murderer, living half a mile from the scene. He hurried to the house and was able to extinguish the fire, which had been smothered by the feathers. ^ A coroner's jury had rendered a ver­ dict indicating that the woman had oommitted suicide by cutting her throat, and the body was buried, but owing to mutterings and threats In the neighborhood the remains were ex­ humed today and the discoveries made showing the nature of her death. Busse Is 47 years of age and his wife was 27. They were married about six months age, shortly after she had secured 92,800 from a man named Bell on a oharge of seduction. Her 18-months- old baby was left to perish In the house with her, but was rescued un­ harmed. The motive for the crime is alleged to be troubles over money mat­ ters, the husband being unatile to con­ trol hi* wife's money. JESSIE MORRISON CONVICTED.

Twice the guard, Myers, ordered a halt, and when the leaders were within thirty yards fired both barrels of a shotgun into the midst of the mass. At the same moment a pistol ball struck Myers in the temple, but glanced off. He got behind cover and used his revolver. The strikers attacked the oar and called on the men within to come out. There was no response, and the rioters opened Jire, The car looks as If it had run the gantlet of Boer sharpshooters.ri There are 200 buj'et holes in it.

The section of the constitution of Alabama relating to a sheriff's tenure of office was reconsidered by the con­ stitutional convention at Montgomery, sad now reads: "When any prisoner is taken from jail or from the custody of a sheriff or deputy and put to death or suffers grievous bodily harm owing to neglect, connivance, cowardice or other grave fault of a sheriff, such sheriff may be impeached, and the governor, when satisfied after hearing the sheriff that he should be im­ peached, may suspend him from office for such time as he may think proper until the impeachment proceedings are finally disposed of, and such sheriff shall not hold any other office during the time for which tye has been elect­ ed." . • • VIS*-- JESSIE "MORRISON. breast and wept bitterly.

After regaining her composure she walked to her cell with her arms around her brother Hayward, followed by her aged father, Judge Morrison, and her sister. No one was allowed admittance to her eel! except relatives. County Attor­ ney Rees was disappointed In the ver­ dict, thinking it should have been for murder. Olin Ca6tle, husband of the dead woman, says, the defendant got off too easy. TWO KILLEDJNDJ0RTY HURT Train on Flttsbarg and Lake Iris Sana Into Op«a Switch.

Mr. Cook was, in the minds of many, one of the strongest men ever produced by this country. He was one of the Christian leaders of the last century, and.in that field he occupied a unique position. He was distinctly and alone the defender of the Christian religion against those who tried to destroy it In the name of science. Mr. Cook was one of the most remarkable of . _ V v-f mm> REV. JOSEPH COOK. American orators. As late as 1891 Prof. A. P. Peabody said of him: "He Is a phenomenon to be accounted for. No other American orator has done what he has done or anything like it, and prior to the experiment no voice would have been bold enough to predict his success." Mr. Cook was born at Ticonderoga Jan. 26, 1838. His father's farm was located on the west­ ern shore of Lake George, and upon it in after years the son built himself the summer home where he spent the last of his years. He had no special ad­ vantages in the way of education, but, like many men who accomplish great things in the realm of the intellectual,, he was self-taught.
