STENSLAND AND CASHIER HERING PRIN- CIPAL OFFENDERS, Chicago, Aug. 13.—Ten warrants in the Milwaukce Avenue bank case were 1ssued during the afternoon by Judge Kersten in the absence of Judge Smith. The first two charge con- spiracy to cheat and defraud the 1\‘!!1— waukee Avenue State bank of its money, property and goods. Paul O. Stensland, Henry W. Hering, Theo- dore Stensland and “divers other per- sons as yet unkndwn” are named in these two warrants. The next two are against Henry W.

Chicago, Aug. 13.—Frank Kowalski, aged thirty, for five years paying tel- ler of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, which failed recently, and for some time assistant receiving teller in addition to his other dutles, shot and killed himself at his home here. Criticism by neighbors and lfelong friends, who accused him of a share in the downfall of the bank, is be- lieved to have driven Kowalski to his death. For two days he had been de- spondent and the members of his fam- ily have kept a close watch over him. Kowalskl's relatives —gssert their firm belief that he was innocent of any knowledge as to the mismanage- ment of the bank by President Stens- land. When the bank ¢ had $700 of his own money on dep and his immediate relatives had near- 1y $50,000. Had the teller known of Stensland’s defalcations, they assert, he would at least have notified his relatives and would have withdrawn his own mone Mitau, Russia, Aug. 13.—A court- ! martial here sentenced to death two terrorists who were found guilty of several murders in the district of ‘Windau.

Washington, Aug. 13.—Chinese labor will be given a thorough test on the Panama canal. Contracts calling for 2,500 Chinamen for canal work have been pared and advertisements will be issued by the isthmian canal commission in a few days asking for proposals from labor agents.

Despite the fact that a large proportion of the residents of this part of the state have gone to the twin cities, the influx of out-of-town people indicates that the carnival will draw large crowds to Bemidji. The carnival has been well advertised and reports from near-by towns are to the effect that large numbers are coming during the week. the T. I.

PLOT AGAINST RE NUMBER OF PERNICIOUS FOR- EIGNERS TO BE DEPORTED FROM PANAMA. Panama, Aug. 13.—The police have captured seventeen Colombians, for- mer revolutionary generals, on the charge of conspiring against high na- tional authorities. The prisoners, dur- ing: the revolution of 1900, distin- guished themselves by their depreda- tions in the interior of the isthmus. A Mexican named Ruiz Sandoval was also tuken into custody. All the men arrested had recently arrived in Pan- ama. Secretary Arias refuses to furnish any details of the plot, but it is ru- mored that some of the members of the Panaman Liberal party are impli- cated. The prisoners will be deported as pernicious foreigaers. All danger seems to be passed. The conditions here are normal, the gen- eral public not being ‘aware that the authorities have captured the plotters. It is asserted that if the conspiracy had been successful it might have re- sulted in serious consequences to the republic of Panama. * [FIRST TIME IN THIRTY YEARS. Sultan of Turkey Unable to Attend the Selamiik, Constantinople, Aug. 13.—The sul- tan, who has been ill for three weeks, was unable to attend the selamlik. This circumstance is unprecedented, the sultan never having falled to per- form this devotion during the thirty years of his reign. Up to the last moment he hoped that- his condition would allow him to proceed to the mosque and the guard was on its way to the palace when it was ordered to return to its barracks. It is belleved that the inability of the sultan to attend the selamlik was due to the extreme painfulness of the trouble from which he is suffering and not to the fact that his condition is grave. Professor Bergmann, the famous German surgeon, has been summoned to attend him and it is pre- sumed that a slight operation is neces- sary. Minneapolis Wheat.

JCCURRENCE CAUSES BIG SENSATION DISLOYAL GUARDSMEN PLAN TO SLAY CZAR'S UNCLE DURING ARMY MANEUVERS. 8t. Petersburg, Aug. 13.—Grand. Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, presi- dent of the council of national de- fense, narrowly escaped assassination at the hands of the imperial guards in the guard camp at Krasnoye-Selo. It appears that the grand duke was per- sonally reviewing, maneuvering and putting ‘the troops through blank fir- Ing practice when he suddenly was startled by the wasp-like hiss of bul- lets about his head. Fortunately meither himself nor his horse was touched. The command to cease fir- ing was immediately given and the soldiers of the regiment from which the bullets came were marched back to their quarters and an investigation was begun in the hope of ascertaining om the barrels of the rifies which f the scldiers fired ball cartridges. Several arrests are understood to have made. Plot of Guardsmen Suspected. One of the grand duke’s aides-de- camp advances the theory that pos- sibly the bullets were fired by acci- dent, but he considers that beyond a doubt there was a plot on the part of & number of disloyal guardsmen, who | deliberately planned to take the grand duke’s life under cover of the general blank cartridge firing. The bold attempt on the grand | duke’s life caused an immediate | change in the plans of the emperor, ‘who had arranged to go to Krasnoye- Belo aud spend a week with the sol- diers of his imperial guards. It was learned that the troops were in extended order and engaged in vol- ley firing whem “the “accident” oc- curred, rendering it difficult to deter- | mine~the regiment from which the wpatlets “came. - The grand duke, sur- rounded by officers-and aides-decamp, war off on one side, out of the line of the fire. $30.00 suits, . $25.00 suits, . $20.00 suits, . $15.00 suits, .
