LATJOR OFFICIALS DEFEATED..

Case of Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison Decided by Court of Appeals. The District Court of Appeals in Washington affirmed the decree of 'the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia adjudging President Samuel Gompers, Secretary Frank Morrison and Vice President John Mitchell, of the American Federation of Labor, guilty of contempt cf court and imposing a jail sentence in the Buck's Stove and range case. Chief Justice Shepard dissented from the opinion of the court on constitutional grounds. The court held that the fundamental issue was whether the constitut'onal agencies of government should -Vyed or defied. The mere fact the defendants were the officers uf organized labor in America, said the court, lent importance to the cause and added to the gravity of the situation, but It should not be permitted to influence the result. "If an organization of citizens, however large," the court held, "may disobey the mandates cf the court, the same rtasoning would render them subject to Individual defiance. Both ar? subject to the law and neither is above it. If a citizen, though he may honestly believe that his rights have been invaded, may elect when and to what extent he will obey the mandates of the court and the requirements of the law as interpreted by the court, instead of pursuing the orderly course of appeal, not only the courts but government itself would become powerless and society would be reduced to a state of anarchy."

A score of policemen and the fireboat Illinois reached the scene of the accident with ladders and grappling hooks, after some delay. Attempts to find the bodies of the victims speedily were abandoned owing to the darkness and the swift current, and efforts were turned towards finding the number cf the machine for the purpose of discovering the identity of those who were in it. DECIDES PEARY REACHED POLE. National Geographic Society Will Consider Other Arctic Trips. Commander Robert E. Peary was on Wednesday voted a gold medal by the National Geographic Society for having reached the north pole. The board of managers of .the society accepted unanimously the report of its subcommittee of scientists who had examined the explorer's records and proofs and found them to be corroborative of his claim that he had reached the pole. The society adopted a resolution that the question of "whether or not any explorer reached the north pole prior to 1909 shall be referred tc a subcommittee of experts, with authority to send for papers or make such journeys as may be necessary to Inspect original records." This Indicates that the society proposes as soon as possible to pass upon the records of Dr. Cook. The guideless trotter Sureno made an exhibition mile'in 2:16 at Philadelphia recently.

JOHN S. KENNEDY IS DEAD.

Sueeesnor to HusncII Sn;je hi Wnll SlrceC "Man ullh the Cnali." In the death of aged John S. Ken nedy, multi-millionaire. Monday of whooping cough, Wall street lost its man with the cash." It is said there has not been a time in years when he could not command from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000 "spot" cash. Russell Sage held the title before him, and at his death had some $29,000,000 in cash on hand. But even when Sage was the "ready money" man Kennedy was active and had the greater cash bal ance. For years he has been known to Wall street insiders as the man who carried the biggest bank balances in America. Time and again It has served him well in times of financial emergencies. He did not loan it out at enormous rates and in spectacular fashion and for that reason the public knew as little about him as It did of his enormous charities. He had sev eral nephews and nieces, all of whom were on the best of term3 with him. It is beloved the bulk of the fortune, up ward of $100,000,000, will go to relatives. $14,000 GONE; CASHIER SLUG "ED. Iloblier Ilifa Eiprem Agent will Pipe nnd Dinnppenr with. Money. By the very audacity of their work, two highwaymen got away with a package containing $14,1C5 from the Canadian Express Company's office in the Grand Trunk station at Niagara Falls, Ont., at 5 o'clock Thursday morning. The police have thus far been unable to obtain the slightest clew to the robbers. As William Dobson, cashier of the office, was engaged in doing up a package containing the money stolen, a stranger made inquiry about a package. Dobson could not make out the name, as the man did not enunciate clearly. Dobson asked the name a second time, and, still be ing unable to make It out, he stepped down to the counter to get the receipt book. The robber quickly struck Dob son a terrific blow over the head with a piece of pipe. The cashier sack to the floor, and the stranger walked leisurely out with the package of money. WIDOW FREED IN MURDER CASE. St. Pnul Jury Drei dew Woman Did Xot Kill Wrallhr Honband. Mrs. Mina Arbogast, who for two weeks has been on trial in the District Court in St. Paul on a charge of having murdered her husband, Louis Arbogast, a wealthy butcher, on the morning of May 13 last, was acquitted by the jury which heard the testimony. Louis Arbogast wa3 murdered while asleep In bed about 4 o'clock in the morning. His head w3 crushed with an ax, and the bed was soaked with gasoline and set on fire. Mrs. Arbogast was badly burned at the time and was in the hospital for many weeks on that account. Louise Arbogast, the eldest of four daughters, i3 under indictment on the same charge as that preferred against her mother, and will be tried in a week or two. She is out on a $20,000 bond. U. S. BATTLESHIP FASTEST. Aorth Dakotu Average 21. K3 Knot lu Itockland Test. The North Dakota is the fastest battle ship of the Dreadnought type afloat, as well as one of the two most powerful battle ships In the world. Her screw standardization tests over the Rockland, Maine, measured mile course Thursday developed a maximum speed of 22.2.", knots and an average of 21.S3. In attaining this surprising speed the turbine engines of the North Dakota were forced to the development of more horse power than has been reached by any other battle ship afloat. A maximum of 35,150 horse power was recorded, while C3.S73 horse power was the mean amount. Dr. Heisser, professor of political economy in IJerlin University, died In Winnipeg recently while on a mission to Western Canada. Anarchists are believed to have stolen an er;urmous quantity of dynamite from a storehouse at Stockholm. The explosive was for the use of rock blasters. The revolution In Nicaragua has made no appreciable advance. The revolutionary forces under Gen. Estrada, which have been increasing daily, now number 400 men. No decisive engagement has been fought. Two regiments of Cossacks and a battery have been sent from St. Petersburg to Finland to overawe any opposition to the new measures which will be put in force If the situation in the duchy justifies It. The Spanish steamer Miguel Saenz reached San Juan, P. R, on the way to South America," recently, having on board 750 emigrants from the Spanish colonics, who are seeking to escape service in the war in Africa. The attitude of the English Socialists toward the reported efforts of King E.iward to prevent tho rejection of the budget was reflected in the Sunderland address of Keir Hardle, who said: "So long as the king stays outside of party politics he does no harm, and can be tolerated, but the moment he begins to interfere in politics It is not only the peers' coronets that will go into the melting pot. The crown will go along with them." Negotiations between France and the United States, with the object of obtaining an extension of the customs convention, are in danger of a downfall, and France has prepared a decree for the application of the maximum tariff on all American imports,, to be effective Nov. 1. The situation at Barcelona is reported as being exceedingly disquieting. Twenty-seven bombs have been thrown, five persons being killed and twenty-one wounded. An attempt was made to rush the fortress of Montjuch to release the prisoners, and -i bomb was thrown. IJut it failed to explode. The trial of the American missionary. Rev. W. II. Sheppard, at Iopolu ville. In the Belgian Congo, ended Tuesday in the acquittal of the charge of libel, because of his exposures of cruelty to the natives by the agents of King Leopold. Ignoring numerous picas for the life of Prof. Ferrer, promoter of the late rebellion in Spain, the Spanish government executed the man in a prison in Madrid. If the republican element makes good its threats, in consequence, Spain stands on the brink of a mighty revolution, which will not be so easy to suppress as was the one of three months ago.

William Filoy and James Kellam, workmen employed on the Benjamin Beeson, Jr., farm near Milton, in making an excavation unearthed several skeletons and a stone pipe. The stem of the pipe Is six inches long, while the bowl is two inches high and one inch in diameter.

Recently while excavating for a ditch on his farm in Spiceland Township, along the Blue river valley, William Beard unearthed the specimen, and he presented it to the 'academy. The tooth is similar to several which are exhibited at the home of tho Henry County Historical Society in Newcastle. In a number of instances teeth of the mammoth and of the mastodon have been found along Blue river, leading to the belief that both these animals in prehistoric times were numerous in that vicinity. While excavating for the foundations of a new cement bridge on the North Salem road, a mile northwest of Danville, a few days ago, Charles Hall unearthed what is apparently an iron nugget about the size and having all the appearances of a hickory hut It Is very heavy and shows indications of being filled with iron pyrities, but many people declare it. is a petrified hickory nut.

This is the first time since the shows have been organized that they have not been home on election day. During the oil boom at Marlon several years ago one of the best oil wells In the neighborhood was that located on the grounds of the Marlon malleable iron works. Several years ago the oil became so low that the well was abandoned. When the plant was rebuilt a year ago the old oil weir was converted into a water well, which has since furnished the water used at the plant. The water has been forced from the well by an air compressor. It was noticed a few days ago that the tank was filling up faster than usual, and after the power was turned off the water continued to flow. A large stream poured over the top of the tank, which is 85 feet above the ground, and flooded one of the buildings and the surrounding ground.
