The following is ac cordingly hereby published: State of Minnesota, office of . Forestry Commissioner. St, Paul, Minn.,, March 15, 1906. The law of the State of Minne- sota for the prevention of forest and prairie fires makes it a mis- demeanor, punishable by fine of not exceeding one hundred dol- lars or imprisonment in jail not exceeding three months, to kindle a fire near forest or prairie land and leave it unquenched. Said law makes town supervisors, village presidents and mayors of cities fire wardens. They are required to inforce its provisions, post notices of its penalties, patrol their districts in dry seasons, go to the place of danger to preyent or control fires, em- ploy or compel assistance in emergencies, investigate and immediately report fires, and make complaint betore a magis- they have requisite information thereof. County attorneys are to assist in prosecutions. ~Every person must comply with a wardens call for assistance unless he has justifiable excuse. Neglect to comply with any of the fore- going duties incurs the penalty first above mentioned. Destruc- tion or defacement of a posted notice incurs similar penalty. Railroad companies are required to use efficient spark arresters on their locomotive engines, keep their right of ways clear of com- bustible material (except ties), post warning placards conspic- uously at every station in the vicinity of forests and grass lands, and extinguish any fire occuring near their roads subject to forfeiture of not exceeding one hundred dollars for each offence. Fire wardens are responsible for the enforcement of the law in their districts, They should especially endeavor to PREVENT THE SETTING OF FIRES, 1905, entitled walk with a sheet around her. 05 4 »|We asked her what was the matter and she replied that she had no clothing Just at the time a man came down the street carrying a sweater and a pair of trousers, which were immediately donned by the woman, who accompanied us on ovr way. “One man, evidently driven insane by the earthquake, was seen wearing fire hats on his head and carrying a cake stand in his hand. “Other scenes that I wit- nessed were not so ludicrous, however, One aged lady with one eye torn out, the flesh hang- ing from one of her cheeks and with one of her arms brokenin several places, came running up to a soldier and begged the latter to shoot her, which he did. “I was standing just across the street when a storekeeper who refused to open his store and give out provisionsand who attempted to carry away some of the goods was shotand killed by a soldier, One man who had been cutting off the fingers and ears of dead bodies to secure jewelry was shot within my sight. “A soldier who had been caught assaulting a girl was shot by his companions, being compelled first to dig his own grave. An Italian woman carry- ing a small baby was on- the boat going from San Francisco to Oakland. when she arrived at the latter place she uncovered tha baby to find that it had died on the boat. The woman gave one heart rending cry, fell to the ground and expired the next morning. “The earthquake seemed to drive many people insane. A preacher who was demented stood on one of the corners in San Francisco and preached for hours, his talk having absolutely no sense to it. The train upon which we left Oakland consisted of 14 coaches and carried 800 SHEVLINON ‘SHORT VISIT Big 'Lumber;; With H. . Clark Inspects Local Property. NORTH COUNTRY. Says It Is Up to Crookston ‘Whether She Keeps or Loses Mill. Thomas H. Shevlin and Hovey C. Clark, the big Minneapolis lumbermen, spent last night and a part of yesterday afternoon in Bemidji, With them was also Division Superintendent Jinks of the Great Northern, The distinguished men were here on their annual inspection tour of their vast lumber proper- ties and stayed just long enough to cast a scrutinizing eye over the local mill, then left for other parts. “Our visit has no special signif- icence,” said Mr, Shevlin when seen by the Pioneer. “We do this every year or oftener in order to keep a personal eye on our business.” The little party is traveling in a private: car and ran down to Wilton from Crookston yesterday afternoon. Late in the day they attached -a special engine to the car’ at Wilton and arrived in Be- midji about 5 o’clock. Early this morning they left for Kelliher and returned: to this city later, only to switch their car onto the train for Cass’Lake. Mr. Shevlin'declares that busi- ness conditions have not been so promising for years as he finds them at the present time. He has just recently returned from .a trip to the Pacific coast and the prosperity there is as pronounced as here, he says. «I predict a long continuance of the good times for this north country,’”’ said the lumberman. “There may be a few reverses, but prosperity is bound to win out. This is a great district and has as bright a future before it as any in the state, I like the name you have given your city, ‘the hub of Northern Minnesota.’ It fits.” Asked about the report that Crookston might lose her saw-| mill, Mr, Shevlin and Mr, Clark said that there is considerable foundation for the story. ¢“We have been considering for a long time the advisibility of moving one of our mills to Wilton,” they explained, ‘“‘and although we have not decided which one it will be, it may be the one at Crookston. “We have been harassed to death in that city, both with exorbitant taxes and with civil suits by unreasonable parties. We had a meeting Monday night with some of the leading men and told them our position. The outcome is uncertain,” " WILL RETAIN DURNOVO. (Czar Decides to Accept Premier Wit- te’s Resignation. St. Petersburg, May 2.—“The em- peror may have decided to accept Pre- mier Witte’s resignation, but until the fact is published in the Official Mes- senger mnothing is absolutely certain. You can say, however, that Count Witte desires to go. He is worn out with the struggle. Nevertheless, the sltuation at Tsarskoe-Selo changes with unexpected rapidity. A few hours may see the official promulga- tion of Count Witte’s retirement or, on the contrary, the dismissal of Interior Minister Durnovo.” The above authoritative statement was made to the Associated Press dur- ing the day. The moment is certainly very critical. For the present Count Witte’s enemies at court certainly have the upper hand and on the very eve of the battle in parliament the emperos seems to be about to commit the fatuous blunder of changing his commander.

Look for This Box when You Want a Good The “ Triangle A” seal on each end of every box of “Anna Helds” is the dis- tinguishing mark of excellence. It identifies the product of the American Cigar Company’s exclusive system of making better cigars for your money. The box wrapping is a new feature. The tough, waterproof parciiment paper wrapper, sealed at each end with the “Triangle A” in red, goes far to protect the cigars from deterioration and to keep them in the same perfect condition as when they were packed—the condition from which the most enjoyment is obtained. The American Cigar Company has expended millions of dollars to perfect and provide equipment for delicate, complex and vital, but hitherto unknown processes of tobacco culture—cxclusive processes of fermenting and blending the choicest varieties of cured leaf. These processes “extract all greenness and rankness from the leaf before it goes to the factory—which is just the difference between the new and the old way of making cigars. You get a rich, even, full-flavored, uniformly blended smoke, instead of a mere ‘‘ tobacco sandwich ” of other manufacturers, made on the cigar- maker’s bench from hurriedly-mixed tobaccos.
