A BAD DEFEAT
GROSVENOR OUSTED BY HIS
OWN DISTRICT AFTER 40
YEARS SERVICE.
Got Not One Vote From His Own
County Albert Douglas Nom
inated on First Ballot to
Succeed Him in Con
gress Other News.
Lancaster, O., Feb. 21. Albert
Douglas of Chillicothe wa9 nominat
ed for congress on the first ballot
in the republican convention held
here today to nominate a candidate
to succeed General Charles H. Gros
venor. Grosvenor did Dot receive a sfngle
vote from his own county and did
not get a solid vote in any county.
and on ly 20 votes in the entire con
vention.
Although Grosvenor's retirement
had been predicted, the old con
gressman could hardly believe that
he would be beaten. The defeat
was plainly a crushing blow to
him, although he took it with not
much outward show of the emotion
that shook him.
Charles Henry Grosvenor is one
of the war horses of the republican
party and has stumped the country
during every political campaign for
40 years. He began his political
career shortly after the conclusion
of the civil war; in which he served
with distinction. He was a mem
ber of the Ohio legislature from 1874
to 1878, and was speaker of the
house for two years of this time.
He was a presidential elector in
1872 and again in 1880. He was
first elected to congress in 1884 and,
with the exception of one term,
when be met defeat in 189o. he
sarved continuously since.
lie played a prominent part in
uot only state but national politico,
nav og iiwhi own onampion m
late Senator Hanna's right-hand
men. He was the father of -the
ship-subsidy bill and a warm advo
cate of protective tariff. In the
last congress he served as chairman
of the committee on merchant ma
rine and fisheries and was a mem
ber of several other committees.
He was famous for his ante-election
statistics which got him the nick
name of "the Prophet."
Albert Douglas who was nomi
nated today to succeed Grosvenor,
is a lawyer at Chillicothe, where he
was born in 1852. He is a gradu
ate of Kenyon College and Har
vard Law school. He was district
attorney of Ross county from 1866
to 1880. He was presidential elec
tor at large and president of the
electoral college of Ohio in I896
and was supported by republicans
of his district for the gubernatorial
nomination in 1889.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 2I
Naval officers are much interested
in the possibilities of results from
the use of Bmokeless fuel. Import
ance attaches to the use of such an
article on account of its contribu
tion to the secrecy of naval opera
tione by means of invisibility. It
has been an important requirement
that there shall be as little atten
tion as possible attracted to naval
ships in operations in time of war,
and it is for this reason that tbe
deadest kind of paint is used on the i
hulls of vessels and that smokeless
powder has been adopted for the
ammunition. With the dense smoke
which pours from some of the fun
nels it is easy enough to locate a
ship under way; in addition to
which smoke of this kind, when
ships are in fleet formation, obscures
signals displayed and might lead
to confusion, if not disaster. Nat
urally, under the circumstances,
any prospect of obtaining a fuel
which does not emit smoke will be
of importance. The teBts whicbhave
been conducted under the naval bu
reau of equipment have promised
important results, but they have
not goue far enough to lead to final
conclusions.
Numerous attempts have been
made in the past to find some meth
od of doing away with the emoke
from the coal used in firing, but
the various flues and patent con
trivances tried proved Ineffective
In every single case.
Bloomington, 111.,
Charles McAtee has
for $2,000 damages
Feb. 2O.
brought suit
against the
Modern Woodman of America be
cause the mechanical goat upon
whice he was riding while being in
itiated into the lodge at Arrowsmith
qucked and injured him.
The evidence in the case attract
ed a large crowd. In his statement
before the jury McAtee said that af
ter being blindfolded he was lifted
on the back of the goat. It imme
diately commenced hopping about
the ludgeroom, later bucking
and throwing him to the floor and
wound up by stepping upon him a
few times aod then falling upon
him.- He was rendered unconscious
and still feels the effects.
The lodge denies that be was
hurt seriously.
Portland, Feb. 22. The Journal
says what is believed to be the high
est price ever paid for iron ore was
received yesterday' by the Oregon
Iron & Steel Works when it sold
the Willamette meteorite, found
near Oregon City a number of years
ago, to' the Smithsonian instftute
for $20,000. Its estimated weight
is 15 tons, equivalent to 30,000
pounds. So the price paid Is 66 2-3
centsja pound.
The Willamette meteorite has
proved a mystery to scientists ever
since its discovery. It was removed
at great expense and placed on ex
hibition at the Lewis aodClarkfair.
That it came from beyond the
clouds there is r o doubt. But there
is a difference of opinion as to how
the great meteorite happened to be
along the Willamette river. Some
believe that it fell from the skies to
the pbint where it was found, while
others are confident that it was car
ried there from the north during
the glacial period. In Bupport of
this latter theory it is pointed out
that glacial marks are visible at the
point where the big meteorite wss
uncovered.
London, Feb. 2o. Reports from
various continental points fay that
John D. Rockefeller was seen, ac
campanied by detectives, in Italy.
A Swiss paper declares be is in
SwitZeriand. having been
seen by
American visitors. Other reports
stale that he is preparing to go to
Brazil.
Denver, Colo., Feb. 2o. Detec
tive Janvs McFarland today made
the following statement regarding
the alleged Orchard confession:
"Harry Orchard, the man first
arrested for the murder of ex-governor
Steuaenberg, may have or may
have not made a confession. I
will not say whether or not he did
make such confession as is attribut
ed to him.
"I was compelled, in working up
my case, to use some of his state
ments of others, but I did not call
upon bim for a confession implicat
ing Mover, Haywood and Petti-
bone. Numerous efforts were made
to intimidate the man into saying
things about himself, but I refused
to allow this.
"Thirty murders in all I charge
to Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone.
Every one, whether it was in Colo
rado since the labor troubles began
in Telluiide less than five yearB ago
or whether it followed in other
states, was planned and executed
by the fiends at the head of the or
ganization."
Baker City, Or., Feb. 2o. Steve
Adams, the Colorado miner, arrest
ed here last night and taken to
rBoise today, is not wanted on any
eiirge implicating him directly
with tbe assassination of ex-Governor
Steunenberg, but he is wanted
for complicity in the blowing up of
the depot at Independence, Colo.
Adams was a member of the ex
ecutive committee of the WeBtern
Federation at that time. His ac
quaintance with Orchard it is be-v
lieved by the officers to be such
that he can be used as a good wit
ness for the prosecution in the mur
der case, after which he will be
taken to Colorado in connection
with two or three others who will
be oharged with the wrecking of the
depot.
Always Keeps Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in His House.
"We would not be without Chamberlain's
Cough Kemedy. . It is kept on hand contin
ually in our home," says W. W. Kearney,
editor of the Independent. Lowrv City. Mo.
That is just what every family should do.
When kept at hand ready for instant use, a
cold may be checked at the outset and cured
in much less time than after it has become
ieUled in the system. This remedy is also
without a peer for croup in children, and
will prevent the attack when given as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough appears, which can only be
done when the remedy is kept at hand. For

PURE FOOD
BILL WHICH ADMITS OF NO
ADULTERATION PASSES
THE SENATE.
Result of Fifteen Years' Struggle
For Law Against Misbranding
and Doctoring Three Per
sons Charged With
Murder of Steu
nenberg. Caldwell. Idaho. Feb. al.Tf At
torney E. T. Richardson, counsel j
tor tne omciais ot tne Western Fed
eration of Miners, anticipates this
morning that he would force the
state to Bhow its testimony against
Charles H. Moyer, William D.
Heywood and George A. Pettibone,
be must have been disappointed.
The three prisoners were brought
to Caldwell early this morning
from Boise.They were strongly
guarded by deputy wardens and
detectives.
From some unknown reason, the
officials feared that the citizens of
Caldwell would give vent to their
feelings, but they were mistaken.
No matter what the sentiment was
at the time of the assassination, it
has quieted down and'now the ar
rival and departure of the three
men charged with having murder
ed ex-Governor Steuenberg did not
create a ripple among the residents
here. In fact, it is doubtful wheth
er more than a dozen knew that
Moyer, Heywood and Pettibone
had been brought here, so quietly
was the thing accomplished.
The train which carried the de
fendants to Caldwell stopped at the
county jail, about half a mile from
the center of the town. They were
taken to the jail aod locked up,
while the attorneys went to the city
aod made arrangements for the
hearing. At lo o'clock they were
brought befoje Probate Judge
Church. Tbe information which
was filed against the three men and
which led to their being extradited
was read by Judge Churcb. Petti
bone was the fire? called upon to
rise and as the words fell from the
lips of the court, the prisoners beard
for the first time that they were di
rectly charged with having prepar
ed and placed the bomb which end
ed the life of the former governor of
Idaho.
If Pettibone were surprised at the
nature of the charge against him
he showed no signs. He stood in an
easy position and kept his eyes
glued upon the face of the court,
When the last word was read he
took bis Beat without saying a
word.
Heywood was next called upon
to stand up. He is a powerful-built
fellow and was the only one of the
defendants to Bhow signs of the
strain under which he was passing.
He stood with his huge body bent
toward the desk at which the judge
sat, and his face blanched percepti
bly a3 the reading went on. By
the time the last word was read bis
limbs were trembling violently.
President Moyer was the last to
hear the reading of the information
against himself. Moyer is a tall,
angular man, with a decided stoop
to his shoulders. During the read
ing of the stilted legal language of
tbe charge to the other two men
Mover appeared ill at ease, but
waen it came to his turn he stood
up without a tremor. He is the
stoic of the three men, and before
tbe court finished his face bore a
bored expression. JNo plea was en
tered by any one of the defendants,
Attorney Richardson rose quick
ly after the reading and announced
that he was ready to proceed with
the preliminary hearing. He ar
gued that his clients demand this
County Attorney Van Duyn Btat
ed that he was not ready to go on
with the hearing, and asked for a
continuance.
Washington, Feb. 21. After I5
years of more or less serious consid
eration of the subjects, the sjnate
today passed tne ideybura pure
food bill by tbe decisive vo'fi Q! 63
to 4.
.The bill makes it a misdcis&inor
to manufacture or sell adulterated
or misoranaea ioods, meaicina? or
liquors in the District of Colombia,
tbe territories and in tbe insular
possessions of the United States
and prohibits the shipment of such
goods from one state to another or
10 a ioreign country, it also pro
bibits the receipt of such goods.
Punishment by fine of $500 or by
imprisonment for one year or both
is prescribed. In the case of cor
porations, officials in charge are
made responsible. Tbe treasury
department and the depart
partments of Agriculture and of
commerce and labor are required
to agree upon regulations for col
lection and examination of the ar
ticles covered by the bill, but no
specific provision is made for inves
tigation except by the department
of agriculture. The investigations
by that department are placed in
the hands of the chief of the bureau
of chemistry and if he finds that
the law has been violated, tbe sec
retary of agriculture is required to
report the facts to the United States
district attorney, who in return is
required to institute proceedings in
the Federal courts. The bill also
defines foods, drugs, medicines and
liquors and also defines the stand
ards for them. There is an examn-
tion for dealers who furnish guar
antees against adulteration dna
misbranding.
Denver, Colo., Feb. 21. Evi
dence that David H. Moffatt,- pres
ident of the First National Bank of
Denver and presinent of the Den
ver, Northwestern and , Pacific road
was slated for assassination at
hands of plotters is said to be held
by James McParland of the Pirik"
erton agency. A bomb of the pat
tern used in Russia was to be
throwu at Moffatt, as he walked
along the street. The dlotter lost
hia nerve at the time scheduled for
tbe assassination, as it would have
been practically impossible for him
to escape destruction with his vic
tim. Moffatt was held responsible for
the defeat of tbe strike at Leadville
in 1896, and it is said that be was
slated for death immediately there
after. Dennis Sheedy, president of th
Colorado National Bank, of Denver
was also elated for destruction at
the same time Moffatt was. He
has large smelter interests in the
state and iB an inveterate enemy if
the federation. Sheedy is taken
precautions for his safety, and h
given the Pinkerton's all the assist
ance in his power.
William G. Evans, head of the
tramway system, is in Ddnver. He
is a partner of Moffatt. It is said
that he was also marked but lucki
ly escaped.
Lame Back.
This ailment is usually caused byrhenm-v
tism of the muscles and may be cured by
applying Chamberlain' Pain Balm two or
three times a day and rubbing the parts
vigorously at each application. If this does
not afford relief bind on a piece of flannel
slightly dampened with Pain Balm, and quick
reliel is almost sure to follow, x or sale by

and all throat and lung trouble are aggra
vated and rendered more serious by each
fresh attack. Do not risk your life or take
chances when you have a cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy will cure it before
these diseases develop. This remedy con
tains no opium, morphine or other harmful
