Anthony Czarnecki from the Seventh regiment armory today, when he attempted to call the democratic convention to order, were ordered arrested by County Judge Owens and brought into his court. Coroner Hoffman was brought before Judge Owens for contempt, for trying to serve an Injunction issued by Judge McKinley and countermanding an order by Judge Owens. The case was continued for
j a week. Hoffman left the court room j and with twenty deputies started for j the armory to serve the McKinley S writ. The anti-Sullivan delegates af- ; ter a caucus marched toward the arm
ory, asserting they would force an entrance into the building. Police were ordered today to batter down the door of the Seventh regiment armory and arrest all persons who had anything to do with excluding the election commissioner from the democratic county convention. The order was Issued by Judge Owens in person. He went to the armory when told shortly "before noon that the soldiers still re-
F fused to open the armory. Adjutant
General Dickinson arrived this morning and went to the armory to take
fijpersonal charge. He refused to say
glwha action he planned to take.
' Doors Smashed In.
The doors were smashed in with an
fcxe. The delegates then piled into the
hall. They met with no resistance after the doors were once opened. Commissioner Czarnecki is a Repub
lican. He was placed in charge of the
Democratic convention by Judge Ow-
ension an order that at the same time
put; a Democrat over today's Republican county convention to prevent alleged attempts at fraudulent use of credentials. Mayor Harrison ordered a
.police guard to be sent to the armory.
The mayor Is head of the progressive
element of the Democratic party in
the city. Opposed to this faction is Roger C. Sullivan and his followers.
The Sullivan men made two countermoves. They induced Col. Moriarity,
In charge of the Seventh regiment
rmory, where the convention is to be
held, to put a guard of militiamen in
the building. Then they secured the
fin junction from Superior (correct)
Judge McKinley. Today hours before
the convention was to be called, the
colonel with 120 members of the
"Fighting Seventh" waited behind the
tarmory doors. Two companies waited Teady to be called. He placed the t guard, he said, on order to protect the regiment's property. ! While they waited inside, the policemen gathered outside. Threats that the doors would be broken down were answered by Col. Moriarity by the announcement that it would mean a I fight. ! "If they try to break down the doors i there will be trouble," said the Colonel. !T may be a corpse when it is over, (but there will be others." However, fhe did not make good his boasts.

NEW YORK, April 15 Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch has placed the suffrage hat in the ring. This particular style of feminine head gear is worth exactly 38 cents. "The hat," says Mrs. Blatch, "can be bought for 2S cents, without the trimming. The extra ten cents goes for the chiffon trimming of green, white and purple, the official suffrage colors. I expect that all of the 15,000 women in the great suffrage parade here on May 4 will wear the hat, which is so constructed that it can be worn in almost any style, and is therefore becoming to young ana old, handsome and not so handsome." Value of Suffrage Hat compared with other styles: Woman suffrage hat, coarse straw, $.p,s. Debutante's summer lingerie hat, trimmed with satin and lace, $25.00. Society woman's hat, handmade fine straw, rare plumage, $200.00. Average working girl's hat with ribbon and flower trimming, $5.00.
Bathetic. General Marion Maus has a keen and delicate taste in literature, and at a recent dinner at Vancouver barracks, discussing a popular novel of little worth. General Maus said: "The pathos of the book is reallj bathos. It reminds me of a private's widow. The good woman was about to sell her household furniture, her rugs, plated ware and whatnot As she was going over these articles her eyes filled with tears, a host of memories rose to her mind. and. laying aside a half dozen knives, she said: "Oh. dear; I can't let these go! They've been In poor George's mouth too often!" New York Tribune.

NEW YORK STOCK QUOTATIONS
(National News Association) CHICAGO, April 15. The wildest day the wheat market in Chicago has seen since the historic Leiter collapse came down on the board of trade this forenoon in a mad rush to cover by the bear shorts. Reports from the winter wheat districts continued as bad as last week if not worse, and there was a panic-like clamor for grain at steadily advancing prices. "Nothing like it in years." "Nothing worse atany time," said old traders today. The wheat fever has reached a point of delirium. May delivery of wheat made another sensational ad
vance over Saturday's phenomenal j closing price. After closing Saturday i
at $1.09, only one-fourth of a point less than the day's high price, May wheat opened today at $1.10 to $1.11, and reached a high mark of Sl.ll'fc, and lost ground only temporarily and in scattered deals. While the shorts were rushing to cover in hordes of great many professional traders were selling at the advantageous prices to suecre profits. More sensational advances were probably checked by reports from the spring wheat country, where in all sections of our northwest and the Canadian belt, planters are plowing day and night with steam and gasoline traction plows and a greater area than ever before is being planted under ideal conditions, following heavy winter snowfall and an assuring spring.

Cat Worship. In ancient Egypt the cat was an object of worship. Herodotus narrates that when an Egyptian house was on fire the first thing to be saved was the cat. When the Romans conquered Egypt the cat received no more consideration than the religion of which it formed a part. Before that time In Egypt to kill a cat, even by accident, was punishable with death.

The Reason Why Foam Always Appears White In Color. When water or liquid of any color is violently agitated small bubbles of air are mixed up with it, and thus foam is formed, and its whiteness Is due to the fact that when light passes from one medium to another of a different refractive index it is always reflected, and this reflection may be so often repeated as to render the mixture impervious to light. It Is, then, this frequency of the reflections of the limiting surfaces of air and water that renders foam opaque, and as each particle reflects light in all directions so much light is reflected that the mixture appears white. To a similar cause Is due the whiteness of transparent bodies when crushed to powder. The separate particles transmit light freely, but the reflections at their surfaces are so numerous that the resulting effect is white. Thus glass when crushed is a white powder and is opaque, but when it Is put under water It once more becomes transparent, because the water fills up the interstices between the particles and the reflections are destroyed. Salt and snow are also common examples of this condition.
SUIT TO PARTITION
Proctor Knott and "Sunset" Cox Ewailed Their Funny Tags. The late Proctor Knott seems to be remembered chiefly as the author of the facetious Duluth speech, says the New York World. Yet he was a great lawyer, and as chairman of the house committee on the judiciary he bad to do with serious and vastly important affairs. Mr. Knott's single appearance as a humorist fixed his reputation for all time, and no amount of profoundly serious work could chauge it. Samuel S. Cox bad a similar experience with greater reason, for In early life he bad cultivated the rlslbles quite devotedly. Mr. Knott llTed long enough to perceive that be was to be identified not with learnlug cr public service, but with an oratorical exaggeration, and Mr. Cox found in his maturity that the speakership, the goal of his career, was denied him because It was no place for a funny man. Although never a humorist. Proctor Knott accomplished something with satire and Irony in which most men fail. He made himself understood Everbody knew that he was Joking. Nobody ever demanded an explanation of his remarks on Duluth or a retraction or an apology. From that viewpoint, therefore, he was one of the successful men of his generation.
John A. Widau, guardian of Msxgar te Johnson, has filed suit for partition against James Gordon in the Vayii circuit court. The property in question is in the town of Milton.
