The Nebraskans accepted the inevitable very gracefully, and said that, of course, Nebraska would play tho game. ADAMS' SUCCESSOR Members of the Faculty Favor Prof. Jenks of Cornell. HARVEY'S STRONG FOLLOWING Late President and Wife to Spend the Winter in Southern California.

Special to The Journal. Madison, Oct. 12. resignation of Dr. Charles Kendall Adams as president of the state university is naturally arousing a lively discussion as to who his successor will be.

The action of the regents in appointing a committee consisting of ex-Senator W. F. Vilas, Madison, Kirwin, Edmunds and Noyes to consider President Adams' resignation, after a resolution had been adopted granting Ihim indefinite leave of absence, without pay, and appointing Dean E. A. Birge as acting president, indicates that there is to be no hurry in the matter.

There is a move among some members of the faculty in favor of Professor Jeremiah W. Jenks of Cornell, but there is also a sentiment in favor of the selection of a western man. This sentiment appears ta be divided between State Superintendent L. P. Harvey and Professor F.

J. Turner, head of the department of American history in the university. H. C. Adams, and food commissioner, is out in a strong communication in favor of Superintendent Harvey, in which ihe says the members of the 'faculty should not have much voice in the matter.

There is a strong movement, -however, ift favor of Professor Jenks, and present indications appear to point toward him. In making Dean Birge the acting president the regents increased his salary of $2,000 a year to $5,500. President Adams' salary has been $7,000. President and Mi's. Adams will leave ehortly for southern California.

Did the Hawk; Carry No. Witness dispatch I referred to as having been drawn up by Captain Chadwicklp my presence is the dispatch known as thie memorandum that accompanied dispatch No.

8. Mr. Hawk carried No. 8. Is that right? captain of the Hawk was called on board and I remember his instructions were to proceed with, all speed until he met the Vesuvius and transmit the dispatch to her, she was a faster vessel.

As to No. 8 was inclosed with this, I was not secretary and did 1 not inclose It. Mr. did the Hawk leave? left the Havana blockade some distance west of Havana about dusk on May 21, probably about half-past :6. Mr.

you received this information on May 20 at half-past 8 in the morning, and the Hawk left at dusk May 21? is correct. The witness said that the memoranda beginning "The. enclosed instructions will reach you," had not I been sent by the lowa, as the dispatch was dated May 21 and the lowa had left on the previous day. Mr. not the Hawk the first vessel that carried that memorandum? the best of my, knowledge the Hawk was the first and only vessel that carried that memorandum.

Mr. Hawk left on May 21 and the first information you had was about half-past 8 or 9 o'clock on the 20th. When did you get this second confirmative information you speak of?" got it on shore at Key West about 7 'o'clock on the evening of May 20. Mr. the confirmatory dispatch, as I understand it, was received some twenty-four hours before the Hawk left with this memorandum, to Commodore Schley.

Is that right? at Key West, and the Hawk was sent from Havana. Mr. you give me any subsequent dispatches or memorandum that passed between Admiral Sampson and. Commodore Schley in reference to the. Spanish, squadron being at Santiago? do not think I can refer you to any.

After Admiral Sampson heard that the fleet of Schley had not left Cienfuegos, in other words, after he got a reply from the commander of the flying squadron, he sent the Wasp, I think, about May 25 to Cienfuegos with an additional dispatch, but she of course did not arrive there until Commodore Schley had left for Santiago and I do not remember what those dispatches were. Mr. that the Wasp? Mr. date? impression is she left by the old Sahama channel May 2G. I Mr.

I understand that between the time that the Hawk carried this information to Commodore Schley at dusk on the evening of May 21 and the time when this dispatch was sent from the channel on the -26th, there was no communication between Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley In reference to the Spanish squadron at Santiago. Was there? Witness- 1 thought I replied there was no opportunity for any. After further effort on Mr. Rayner's part to elicit information as to correspondence between the two commanders and objection on the part of Mr. Hanna to bringing dispatches which had no immediate bearing upon Commodore Schley's conduct Mr.

Rayner said there was no communication between them between May 21 and May 27. He then quoted the dispatch of May 27 as the first positive knowledge conveyed to Commodore Schley of the presence of the fleet at Santiago. This dispatch was as follows- United States Flagship New York, St Nicholas, Channel, May 27, Every report and particularly daily confidential reports received at Key West from Havana state the Spanish squadron has been in Santiago de Cuba from the 19th to the 25th inst inclusive, the 25th being the date of the last report received. You will please proceed all nossible dispatch to Santiago to blockade tha tport. If on arrival there you receive positive information of the Spanish ships having left you will follow them in pursuit.

Ver T. Sampson. Mr. Hanna-What is the first positive order? Mr. 27.

Little. Tilt. Mr. Rayner then repeated his desire to offer the dispatch of May 27 in evidence, an dafter a colloquy between Mr. Rayner and Judge Advocate Lemly, Mr.

Hanna remarke dthat there was no objection to putting it in except that it was "obviously intended to reflect on a person who is not present." To this Mr. Rayner responded that it was not intended to. reflect on any one but that it was intended "to prevent a reflection on Commodore Schley." It was decided that the dispatch was already in evidence and Mr. Hanna took the witness for re-direct He began by asking if he knew the. reason for.

the lapse of five or six days between the sending of dispatches by' the Hawk and the Wasp. To this inquiry Mr. Rayrier objected and the court sustained the objection. Admiral Dewey: As I have stated before, we want facts, facts. The incident was closed by the withdrawal of the question.

At this stage of the proceedings Captain Lemly iatrodueed as a part of the record two letters fjom Commodore Schley AdmlcalSampson, both dated May 23, 1898, the that he was by no means satisfied that the Spanish squadron was not at Cienfuegos, and the second telling of information he had received through the British steamer. Adula. Blood Almost Shed. A somewhat startling incident here arose between Judge Advocate Lemly and Mr. Rayner.

When Lieutenant Commonder Staunton was excused Mr. Rayner asked leave to present as evidence mentary chart prepared by Lieutenant i Dyson of the bureau of steam engineering, i the speed of the vessels of the -flying squadron. Captain Lemly objected on the ground that this evidence was not pertinent at this stage of the proceedings. Mr. Rayner here undertook to read a statement accompanying the chart Captain Lemly addressed the court, say, ing with reference to Mr.

Rayner: He is not accurate in his statements, if the court please. i On the contrary, he. is very I inaccurate. He holds a paper before him and reads what is not on that paper. He has re: peatedly done it.

Mr. Rayner's face flushed: "If he that outside the court I will say Is I false." While counsel were still talking back and forth at each other Admiral Dewey arose and administered the oath to the next witness, Lieutenant Nathan C. Twining, formerly of the battleship lowa. His testimony covered points already brought out as to the siege of Cienfuegos and the bombardment of the Cristobal Colon in the harbor at Santiago on May OX. When Lieut.

Twining had concluded and the court was about to adjourn Mr. Rayner said: I would like to call the attention of the court to what I consider a very disagreeable attack of the judged advocate. I have conducted my3elf with the utmost degree of courtesy and politeness. It fias not occurred once but over over again in this case. The least little objection that comes in brings out the most irritable.humor possible on his part.

All I ask fs this: He made a statement this morning which reflected on me; that we read tlilugs to the court that do ilot exist and do not read things that do exist. Any man with any degree of sensibility would THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. object to that and I do not think my brother wants that statement to go to the court. When I have read a report, not thinking the last part would bear on the case, the point was made that I did not read the whole of it. These things are very objectionable to Admiral Schley and myself, and I think the gentlemen owes us a statement in regard to that.

Captain Lemly explained and Admiral Dewey then declared the court adjourned until Monday. "BULL" OF BULLER Speech Shatters Last Vestige of His Reputation. WAR TO LAST TWO YEARS MORE Thus a BritUh Joit the Man for the Work, London, Oct. South African campaign has a curious effect on British generals. Public attention is centered on General Buller's extraordinary exhibition, while society is gossiping about the re- markable action of another general.

This one is a knight commander of the Bath, holding a high command in South Africa. He is over years of age, has been a widower for years aud has engaged himself by letter to marry a woman of 60, whom he has not seen for twenty years. The bride-elect, who is an Irish woman, i 3 preparing to go out to South Africa. As to General Buller, he seems to have forever shattered every vestige of his reputation. Previous to his speech of Thursday, General Buller received several plain hints from the war office expressing the hope that he would not accept invi.tations to make speeches.

His appoint-rnent to the command of an army corps was made in a of generosity. It was thought that General Buller could not do much harm in the two years remaining before he'retired. Failure appoint him would have signified a public disgrace which the war office was not willing to inflict on him, believing that Gen. Buller had acted to the best of his ability. One of the highest officials oonnected with the administration of the arms said: The utilitarian spirit of the age has taken away those sinecures, such as governor cf Tilbury and commander-in-chief of Berwick, with which, a hundred years ago, Buller might be shelved and at the same time rewarded.

We had no alternative but to reward General Buller's long and conscientious period of service by kicking him out or giving him a command which his rank commands. Of the two evils we chose what we thought was the less, somewhat sentimental, but no army can be run without a certain amount of sentiment. The South African war has probably another two years to run, developing, like the Burmah affair, into a subalterns' campaign. Contin.ual local disturbances are being put down by the small garrisons. To supervise such work we know of no one better than Lord Kitchener.

His chief difficulty which seems to have missed the attention of the critice, is that, having non-combatant natives populating the war area, he is prohibited from destroying supplies to any degree of military thoroughness. If we could concentrate or deport the natives I think an effective devastation would quickly end the campaign. WORKING ON ROOSEVELT Appeal Made to Him by a Boer Champion. Brussels, Oct. 12.

open letter addressed to President Roosevelt appears in the Amsterdam Handelsblad. It is written by Charles Boissevail, who is well known in England as an ardent Boer champion, and who addressed a similar letter to the Duke of Devonshire a year ago. The new letter includes a historical retrospect of British crimes and cruelties, and says Great Britain is now filling the role she has invariably played in the past. M. Boissevail declares that Great Britain has neither the moral courage to offer favorable terms to the Boers nor the soldiers to overwhelm them.

He concludes: May the splendid ultimate triumph of the Dutch race be forwarded by the sympathy of that American nation whose triumph had the ardent wishes of Holland. The ultimate triumph of the Dutch republics will be a victory for law and order and righteousness. LEYDS SARCASTIC British Kindly Provide Boers With Rifles, He Says. Paris, Oct. Leyds, In an interview, says the British have kindly provided the Boers with rifles, ammunition, horses and food.

He declares that thousands of Afrikanders have been driven to take the field by British informers, and adds that a series of decisive successes on the part of the Boers in Cape Colony is expected. Dr. Leyds says the Beers have buried nearly all their own rifles and will not dig them up again until the British supply falls short. AUTHORITIES CLASH Judge Taft and Gen. Chaffee in a Controversy.

PRESIDENT SETTLES THE DISPUTE If Ills Orders Are Not Carried Oat Official Heads May Fall la the Philippines. Mmw York Sim Soeda! Smi-vlca Washington, Oct. Roosevelt's method of settling the conflict of authority between General Chaffee and Judge Taft by ordering the general and governor to get together and arrive at an amicable understanding has opened the eyes of politicians in Washington. The quarrel had all the elements of a protracted, bitter controversy. It had its origin in a very simple matter.

A military tribunal had decreed the deportation of a soldier. Friends retained counsel and the courts were asked to prevent the decree of the court martial from being executed. A writ of habeas corpus was issued and the soldier was kept from being placed aboard a transport and forcibly carried back to the United States. Gen. Chaffee resented this interference.

He appealed to Judge Taft to set aside the writ of habeas corpus. Judge Taft emphatically declined to interfere and informed Gen. Chaffee that he would protect the court from military interference. General Chaffee submitted the matter to the war department, requesting that he be upheld. Judge Taft also submitted bis views on the controversy to the department.

Both communications were sent to the president. The affair constituted the dispute between the military and civil arms in the Philippines under the extraordinary arrangement made last spring after the supreme court rendered its decisions on pending insular cases. President Roosevelt took the ground that the only solution of the trouble, if a dual form of government was to be maintained successfully, was to compel an Immediate compromise. His orders are imperative and it is understood in Washington that if either General Chaffee or Governor Taft cannot or will not carry out the president's orders there will be an early change in one or both of the two principal departments of the Philippine government.

Sxth of the work in the south, among the negroes. establishment of a mission for Chinese residents in San Francisco. The committee report on "Educational Wortc in the Home Field" was the next order of business, and was read by Miss Annette Newcomer of lowa.

The work of the board consists of English Bible chairs at the state universities of Michigan, Vir- I ginia and Kansas, two mountain mission schools in Kentucky, Chinese mission I schools at Portland, Oregon, and negro industrial schools in Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky and Virginia. The Report commended Professor G. P. Coler and Mr. Earnest P.

Niles for their success at Ann Arbor in interesting students in the study of the Bible, and the work in other universities was also ported to be progressing satisfactorily. The Kentucky mountain missions were found to have had the most successful year of their' existence, and the Chinese night school at Portland was also reported to have enjoyed a most successful season. The negro schools, too, were commended for good work, and the general recommendation was made that all educa- tional institutions be enlarged as the woman's board is able to accomplish that end. Wards of the Nation. When C.

C. Smith of Ohio stepped to the front he was greeted with a volley of applause. Mr. Smith spoke of "The Wards of Our Nation." He said that the wards of the nation were the untrained children of the nation, and that God judged a nation as it treated its wards, among whom, in the case of the United States, Mr. Smith included 119,050 Chinese and Indians.

The former, he said, were the objects of special care because of their Ignorance and of exclusion because of their industry. The negroes, thought the speaker, have a just claim against the government for a proper guardianship. The present negro population, he said, was 8,840,789, an increase of more than 100 per cent since the race was freed from slavery, and a I greater proportion of increase than that attained by the whites, even with the aid of immigration. Mr. Smith, continuing, said that the government did not make the negro the equal of the whites, simply by declaring him so.

Too great privileges, he thought, had been granted the negro before he was fitted for them. The guardianship of the nation had been unwise, unjust and had retarded rather than advanced the condition of its colored wards. "No man is a friend of the negro," said I Mr. Smith, "who demands social commingling of whites and blacks in the south. The negro's greatest need is protection and training for his life work.

The first should be granted by law, the second by Christian schooling." The eminent Ohioan. who has evidently studied closely the race problem, told his audience that the representative southerner was just as proud of Booker T. Washington as any northerner. The southerner, he said, did not desire to oppress the negro, and insisted only on social segregation, which Mr. Smith considered an adi mirable thing for both races.

The work of the negro industrial schools was commended' and. the speaker continued that the nation had inconsistently granted the ballot'to the negro and dej nled it to woman; aud had then appealed i to woman to make the negro capable of exercising his suffrage justly. That, he thought, was a blot on the national escutcheon. Folowing Mr. Smith's address the audience arose and sang "America," and as they did so, the missionaries of the church, horn on furlough, advanced and took their places on the platform.

The report of the committee on young people's work was read by Miss Effle Cunningham. Its recommendations are as follows: That the watchword of the year be collections of $25,000 and 25,000 new members. That a boys' orphanage be erected at Bayaman, Porto Kico; that the building recommended last year for Mexico be erected as soon as possible; and that the chapel at Mannings Hill, Jamaica, and the bungalow at Pendra, India, be completed. That a history of the young people's work be printed in pamphlet form. That prizes be offered for the best missionary story suitable for the Young People' 3 Work, and for the best plan of promoting closer union between the young people's division and the Christian Woman's board.

That the work be extended among churches not now having Young People's societies. Mrs. Willard, of Nebraska, closed the session with a Bible study, in the course of which she dwelt upon the part of woman in Biblical history. GREAT WORK DOSE Missionary Board's Annual Repoat Submitted To-day. The general board of the American Missionary society held a meeting this afternoon at which the annual report of the acting board of managers was submitted and Last year the choice of officers was made by ballot.

It is thought this plan may engender competition between friends and sections who favor different candidates. An effort is being made to-day to return to the old plan when the matte 1 was left entirely to a nominating committee who should select the officers. Only one set of candidates will then be presented to the convention for ratification, and no is defeated and no heartburnings are engendered. The annual report is contained in a I large pamphlet. It will be presented to the convention Tuesday.

The report shows a most gratifying state of affairs. It is, in part, as follows: During the year we have assisted In the support of 225 missionaries, an Increase of 30 over the number of any previous year. These missionaries have labored to an amount equal to 120 years, 10 months and 22 days. Have assisted 342 places. Have organized or reorganized 93 churches; have received into i the various churches 6,912 members, of which number 3,660 were by confession of faith in Christ as the divine Son of God and baptism into his name.

Twenty-eight houses of worship have been erected. The total receipts of our 1 treasury for the year are $91,716.68. Last year receipts were $63,627.30. some: excellent addresses Large Crowds Attended the Services Last Late In the afternoon session, yesterday, Mrs. Helen E.

Moses extended to the convention formal messages of greeting from the state convention of West Vir- I ginia, now in session; from the woman's i board of the maratlme provinces and from the women of Australia. Mrs. Q. L. Bantz read a report on tho work of the board in India, in the course of which she said that the state of Ohio was ebout to establish a new mission at Singapore at an expense of about $5,000, and to be under the direction of E.

C. Davis. lowa and Indiana will also extend I the work. Attention was called to the necessity for a medical mission at Ma- hoba. Miss Rose T.

Wood-Allen delivered an address in which she spoke of the benefit to young women arising through their interest In mission work. She thought the ranks of the woman's board should be recruited from young women, who have fewer duties than their older sisters, and who can thus devote more time to mission work. The Evening Session. Despite the disagreeable weather, the attendance at this evening session last night was considerably the largest of th.3 session up to that time. The meeting opened with a song and devotional service, Mrs.

W. J. Russell of Indiana presiding, after which Miss Rebel Withers of Florida was introduced. The subject of her address was "A Retrospect of What I Saw of Woman's Work Abroad," and the talk dealt with conditions in England, Miss Withers telling the audience that she had been greatly surprised at the amount of Christian work accomplished each year by English women of rank. She spoke of the "Mothers' Union" existing there, the object of which is to gather into the church unfortunate women who have succumbed to temptation; and dwelt upon the work done by Miss Morley of London, the late Lady Kinnaird of Scotland and her daughter, Mrs.

Weatherby, Miss Stannard and others. J. Walter Wilson of Indianapolis sang two solos, and then Mrs, A. M. Haggard of Dcs Moines was introduced, her address being the last of the session.

Mrs. Haggard spoke on "Women In the Kingdom," and said that God had commissioned woman to be the helper of man. This, she considered, a high mission. It had, she added, drawn down upon the sex the wrath of all enemies to good; and in tho struggles of life woman had suffered more than her brorther. She held that -woman had been the inspiration toward righteousness in all great battles fought for principle.

MAY PASS THE Lively Discussion Over Missionary Work in Whether or not to abandon the mission field of Turkey was the vital question discussed at the general board meeting of the Christian Foreign Missionary society this morning. It was the first point in the report of the executive committee to cause much discussion; The effect of the and the impression it would create on the minds of the church, the people throughout the land and on the missionaries themselves was the subject of vigorous debate. The whole matter was finally referred to a committee, which will report next year, on motion of I. J. Spencer, a vice president.

It was also decided that the executive committee be requested to secure an agreement, the other boards of the church as to the amount of interest to be paid upon annuities. The rate has been 6 per cent and it is believed that at the present time it should not be more "than 5 per cent. The income for the closing year was about $175,000. The report of the committee having been adopted by the executive board, it will be further ratified Monday by the general convention. Board of Managera Report.

The report of the board of managers is a pamphlet of fifty-five closely printed pages. It gives a glowing detailed account of the advance made in all the fields. In it is as follows: The Foreign Christian Missionary Society was organized in 1875 and is carrying on work in twelve different countries. Agents are at work on all the continents save South America. The force numbers 275.

Of these 115 are Americans and Europeans arid 160 native helpers. Churches have been organized, day and Sunday schools opened, hospitals and dispensaries built, orphanages and leper asylums provided. The converts from the first number about 7,000. The children in day schools number those in the Sunday schools 6,537. The patients treated number about 53,000 annually.

There are about 500 boys in the orphanages, not receiving assistance from the missionaries. The receipts for the past year amount to $171,000. The society lost no workers or property in China in the recent troubles. The viceroy of Nankin threatened to decapitate anyone who might molest the foreigners or injure their buildings. The missionaries are all back at work.

They report officials and natives very cordial. In India the missionaries distributed many thousands of dollars in famine relief. They saved thousands of lives. In Japan the work has been going on without interruption. Japan is enjoying a season of revival.

A good beginning has been made in Africa. The sick are being healed, children are being taught and the poor are having the gospel preached to them. In the last year the Philippines were entered. The force there will be increased within a month. Next year it is hoped to enter Tibet.

The growth of the society from the first lias been steady and gratifying. DOTING ON DEPEW Jokeful Senator's Fiancee Gives a Heart-to-Heart Talk MARRIES HIM ENTIRELY FOR LOVE Thinks She la Doing Much Better Than Tjinjj- Herself to a Titled Foreigner. Special to The Journal. Paris, Oct. the fourth floor of a fashionable flat In the Rue Galilee, with the Arc de Triomphe on one side and the Place dcs Etats Unis on the other, Miss May Palmer, fiancee of Senator Depew, received a correspondent last night.

"Divinely tall," Tennyson would call her. He might even add A supple, slight neck, arched nose, attractively dark brown, flashing eyes, shapely head, covered with a profusion of nut brown hair, a charmingly frank face, her carriage the poetry of motion, her English perfect in thought, form and pronunciation, her French similarly perfect. Such is a condensed, inadequate description of Senator Depew's betrothed. In reply to a series of very direct questions, Miss Palmer said: I marry Senator Depew because I love him. Any girl would be proud of such an intellectual, charming man.

What difference does disparity in age make when intellect is always young? I have heard Senator Depew speak Jn Paris upon public occasions. Your intimation that I have been the occasion of his frequent, visits to Paris is not fair, for he has his own relatives living here. I have been the recipient of thousands of congratulations. Don't you think I am doing better by marrying a distinguished, thorough-going American than by tying myself to a titled foreigner? I believe we are both very patriotic. Though I have lived years in Europe and have studied here, my heart is in New York, where we shall reside.

Nothing is yet decided as to where we shall be married, nor is the date fixed, further than by the vague expression, "this coining winter." When Consul General Gowdy called to congratulate me he said: "I have known Mr. Depew many years and, like you, I love him." IMPRISONED BY STRIKERS Police Powerless to Protect Breakers In Pittsburs. Pittsburg, Oct. breakers emplayed by the Monongahela company are confined to the works by the strikers and the police seem to be powerless. The working week in the plant closed at 11 o'clock and the men were paid off.

A few days ago the management announced that the hotel addition to the plant would be abandoned after to-day that the men would be quartered on Perry street in a boarding house. About 11:45 a crowd of the breakers left the plant and walked up Fifteenth street to Carson street to take a car for the city. The strikers' pickets were on the lookout and word was sent to the strikers, who were meeting in a hall near by, of the men leaving the plant. The strikers refused to allow the cars to stop and the men, seeing that things were getting warm, went 'back to the plant guarded by the police. It is thought the strikers will try to keep them prisoners in the plant until the management of the plant gets sufficient police protection to take the men to their new boarding house.

The creation of the Nicaragua canal will cut off 10,000 miles from the voyage from New York to San Francisco. SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1901. CAN'T REACH SPOILS Civil Service Law to Be Upheld to the Letter. THIS THE PRESIDENT'S RESOLVE Significance of the Coming; Appointment Foulke to tlie Civil Service Conun Special to The Journal. Chicago, Oct.

Washington special to the Chronicle (democrat) says that the spoilsmen of the republican party will sustain a great shock when William Dudley Foulke of Indiana, is appointed a member of the national civil service commission. To Mr. Foulke, President Roosevelt has practically tendered the place on the commission, and he agreed to accept whenever the president Is ready to make a vacancy for him. This appointment will represent the antithesis of the policy which was indicated by President McKinley last spring when he appointed former Representative William Rodenberg of Illinois, to the commission. Mr.

Rodenberg was a self-acknowledged spoilsman. He so informed President McKinley when his appointment was under consideration, but the president, believing that the responsibilities of the place would effect a radical change in Mr. Rodenberg's ideas of the advantages and disadvantages of the civil service law. insisted upon his accepting the appointment. Republican partizans everywhere hailed the appointment as a step in the direction of opening the doors for their henchmen, who were shut out of the great departments in Washington and the federal offices throughout the country by the operations of the civil service law.

They were given to understand that the bars would be let down, but events since Mr. Rodenberg's appointment have not supported the view that was held at that time. Whether there would have been a change when congress returned to Washington is purely conjectural, but it has been an open secret that republican members of congress have been expecting such a change. The appointment of Mr. Foulke will be accepted everywhere as an indication of the president's purpose to uphold the civil service law to the letter.

Mr. Foulke himself has been one of the most active and persistent members of the national civil service reform league.

MURDER WILL OUT Mr.

and Mrs. Frank Tanke Arrested for Wellner Killing. WOMAN WAS WIFE OF WELLNER Tanke the Hired Mini on tin- Place- Minneapolis Detective Worked I the Cane. New Ulm, Oct. 12.

The most sensational arrest that has ever been made in this section was made by Sheriff McMillan of Nicollet county, when he drove out to the old Wellner homestead in Lafayette township yesterday afternoon and arrested Frank Tanke and his wife, Amelia Tanke, on the charge of murder. It will be remembered that on Xew Year's Day two and a half years ago John Weilner, a well-to-do farmer, was brutally murdered about midnight. He was lured from his house by strange noises in the barn and then shot twice at close range. His body, frozen stiff, was found by neighbors early the next morning. Mrs.

"VVellner's story of the affair as given at the inquest was that shortly after the shots were fired two men entered the house and tied her hands with a rope and compelled her to remain in that state for three hours. This, she said, she did, and then towards morning awakened her child and induced her to cut the rope. She then left -the place to notify her father, who lives about a mile distant. The strangers, she claimed, left the house after taking an old watch and a few cents in change which they found in the pockets of a pair of trousers. T.

J. Coleman, a Minneapolis detective, was recently requested by Sheriff McMillan and County Attorney Davis to make a thorough investigation of the case and, after consultation with a brother of the murdered man, he undertook to do so. After the murder Frank Tanke, who had worked for Mr. Wellner, continued on the place, and about a year ago became Wellner's second husband. Detective Coleman employed two women and five men to work the case, and all of them attempted at one time or another to securo work from Mr.

Tanke. They were all discharged shortly after starting work, until finally Mr. Coleman himself and R. J. Whitney obtained employment, and in course of time secured from both Mr.

and Mrs. Tanke statements as to the murder. Juat what these statements are the detectives refuse to divulge, but they that the evidence covering innumerable details is sufficient to convict. More than this, Mr. Coleman says he can prove that Mrs.

Wellner herself fired the shots that endad the life of her husband. Tanke, he claims, knew of the plot and i 3 expected to make a complete confession before many hours. NO BAIL ALLOWED Tanke and "Wife Locked Up PendlnK the Special to The Journal. St. Peter, Oct.

COMMENDS CUMMINS' POSITION Policy of Gov.Shaw in ThU Heapect Said to "Briatle With In- 'i; equalities." Special to The Journal.

Marengo, lowa, Oct. 12. The opening campaign address of John Herriott, extreasurer of the state and republican candidate for lieutenant governor, was delivered here last evening in the presence of a large audience. Mr. Herriott not only made an able exposition of national issues from the republican view point, but spoke vigorously also on state affairs.

He was especially outspoken on the subject of printing and binding and on the railway assessment. He called attention at the outset of his discussion of state issues to the economic administration of state affairs by the republican party. As to printing and binding, concerning which the air has reeked with scandals for a long period, Mr. Herriott said the people would insist on good work, sharp scrutiny of the bills rendered and allowed and reasonable compensation. He declared the state should exercise the same economy in this matter that the board of control does in the management iof state institutions.

Discussing the liquor question, Mr. Herriott said he stood for the maintenance of the present law. It was on railway assessments that Mr. Herriott's uterances compelled special attention. In the executive council, before his term ended as treasurer, Mr.

Herriott and Governor Shaw antagonized each other bitterly on this question. Mr.Herriott protested repeatedly against the fixing of the assessment according to the views of the other three members led by the governor. In a recent address, at Boone, Governor Shaw defended the executive council's action, thus in effect taking a stand against Herriott. The address of Mr. Herriott this evening was an attack on the present assessment, which was declared to "bristle with inequalities." On this subject he said in part: There are some who maintain that the existing assessments are just, and the best that could be made.

I would like to concur in this judgment but when I examine the facts oflered in proof they usually consist in comparisons that do not compare like with like. A branch or a spur is compared with a main line; or a main line with a system, branch of one road that pursues one method of accounting and apportioning its receipts and expenses is set off against the branch of another system following a different plan. It is easy thus to shift and vary figures in comparison to the utter confusion of those unfamiliar with railroad values. There is a growing demand for a remedy for these, evils. This demand has been expressed chiefly by republicans.

Xearly all of our leading jarty journals have been outspoken in favor of more equitable railroad assessments. Nearly twenty-five republican county conventions last summer passed resolutions in of such reform. In the platform adopted in convention at Cedar Rapids we insist upon "taxation without bias or favor." Mr. Cummins, our candidate for governor, in his speech at Centerville declares plainly in favor of greater equity in the assessments. The republican party does not desire nor will it stand for radical anti-railroad tax legislation aimed to injure or cripple sui'h corporations.

But it does desire their assessment cf their "actual value" without fear or favor. Mr. Cummins well states it when he said "The railroad companies cannot complain if they are compelled to pay taxes upon a valuation which puts them upon an equality with the owners of lands and lots.

Hale, of 1717 Barclay street, Baltimore, now Quite a famous runner, has liad some interesting experience in regard to proper feeding.

His testimony is worth the attention of any athlete, or in fact, of any person who cares for good, sturdy, powerful, health. "Up to about eighteen months ago I had been in many athletic contests, without much success. I about made up my mind It was time to stop, but a physical director of the Y. M. C.

A. of this city advised be to use Grape-Nuts food and Postum Cereal Coffee as principal factors In my diet. I accepted the advice and to-day am in possession of perfect health, and a great many medals won in different athletic events. 1 can now run a race and finish in fine condition, whereas before I started on the right diet, I would find myself in a faint at the end of a race. Formerly I had more or less nervous trouble and severe headaches.

I am glad to say since using Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Coffee I have forgotten what a headache feels like. My heart is in perfect condition, whereas while! was Using ordinary coffee it would not stand the heavy strain. This statement is absolutely true, and I do not object to your publishing it, for it may bring back health and strength to some poor being suffering from ill health, caused by the use of improper food." There is a reason for this; in the first place, ordinary coffee will show its effects somewhere in the nervous in weakening of the heart or in stomach troubles, which prevents one from obtaining the strength and value of food. It' is, therefore, necesary to quit the use of this drug, and in its place use Postum Cereal Food Coffee and Grape- Nuts Food. They were both invented by a food expert and are made at the famous pure food factories of the Postum Cereal at Battle Creek, Mich.

This food and the food drink are both made for a definite purpose, and there are thousands of users throughout the world that can testify, from practical experience, that the.
