Ten-Year-Oid Girl Kills Herself at &t Louis. St. Louis, March 18.—It was de oped through testimony at the co oner’s inquest into the suicide of Lie bling Slocum, aged ten years, that she had entered into a suicide pact with Gertrude Harper, also ten years old. Gertrude testified that she had told her mother that she was going to take her life and was prevented. She did not reveal the pact with Liebling. The two girls were schoolmate chums. Liebling had been reproved for playing truant and became melan- choly. The two girls brooded over the matter and agreed to die together. Liebling swallowed carbolic acid and died. J. P. Slinger, the drug clerk who sold the carbolic acid to Liebling Slo- lum, was arrested and is held on a warrant charging the sale of a poison- ous drug to a mino; New Orleans Operators Out. New Orleans, March 18.—Sixty-two operators in the employ of the Postal Telegraph company here walkel out during the day. The men say it was recently announced that there would be a general increase in wages of 10 per cent, and that when the increase came it applied only to the regular men. The extra men then walked out and the regular men went with them. Mortally Wounded by Workmen. St. Petersburg, March 18.—Police Captain Radzeowsky was ' mortally wounded by workmen as the officer was leaving the Okhta theater. He had incurred the hatred of the revo- Iutionists and they condemned him to death, Many police searches of houses and arrests have taken place in the Okhta theater quarter of the city re- cently. .

The river is higher than it has been since 1884. The telegraph the resolution itself there was an en- thusiastic demonstration upon the part of the delegates, who embraced its author.

H. Canfield’s bill providing for an annual appropriation of $200,000 to aid in building and repairing highways un- der the supervision of the highway commission. The amendment pro- vides that the money shall be expend- ed under the supervision of the boards of county commissioners instead of the highway commission. Another amendment cutting down the appro- priation from $200,000 to $100,000 a year was rejected. This action wag taken after a de- bate of about two hours in which sey- eral of the members from the interior of the state expressed themselves as very strongly opposed to the principle of having a state highway commission supervise the work of road comstruc- tion in the state. The senate normal school commit- tee reported for indefinite postpone- ment the bill providing for the es- tablishment of a normal school at some point north of the line of the Northern Pacific road running west from Duluth and reported back the bill providing for a normal school at Cass Lake without recommendation. This wlll give the Cass Lake proposi- tion the advantage of coming up for consideration on general orders and for general discussion on the floor of the session. The senate In committee of the whole, with Senator Ole O. Sageng presiding, recommended five bills for pessage. Kills Appointive Plan. The house killed the proposition of making the railroad commission ap- pointive by the governor, but instead of killing the bill amended it so as to make it an entirely different measure. A. J. Rockne of Zumbrota offered the amendment, which was adopted by the house. It struck out everything in the bill except the enacting clause, and substituted a provision that the gov- ernor appoint two members to serve for four years at their regular com- pensation, and at the end of their terms two additional members are to be elected by the people. This would make a commission of five members, two to be elected in 1908 and three tc be elected in 1910. That the house did not favor the idea of Mr. Rachie was shown, but whether the adoption of the amendment was made with any intention of addpting the bill was not evident. Speaker L. H. Johnson’s bill for the taxation of sleeping car companies was passed in the house. The tax provided in the bill is 4 per cent on state business and on a proportion based on mileage of interstate busi- ness. At present these companies pay a tax of 3 per cent on purely state business. The cigarette dealers’ license bill, introduced in the house hy Ambrose Tighe of St. Paul, was passed in that body. The Dbill provides that all per- sons making, selling or otherwise dis- posing of cigarettes, paper or substi- tutes therefor must have a state lcense costing $15. There were twenty-two votes against the bill The municipal ownership bill intro- duced In the house by W. L. Nolan of Minneapolis, covering the main pro- visions of the Muller law of Illinois, was recommended for passage in the house committee of the whole. The bill permits municipalities after a vote by the people, to acquire any pub- lic utilities and instead of bonding the eity give mortgages on the property acqulired. Must Vote Party Ticket. An effort to compel voters at the primary elections to vote their own party ticket is made in a bill intro- duced in the house by Knut Knutson of Swifl Falls. The bill amends the present statutes by adding a provision that no nominee at a primary election shall be placed on the general election ballot unless he receives a vote equal to one fifth of the average vote cast for the candidates of his party for state offices at the last preceding gen- eral election. To prevent local warehousemen from paying too high or too low prices for grain, M. 8. Carl of Clara City in- troduced a bill in the house which re- quires them to keep a daily record of the price paid per bushel for all grain, showing the amount, kind and grade of grain taken in and the price paid for each varlety. These reports must be sent to the railroad commission at least three times during the crop year and the railroad commission may pub- lish them at the station where the warehouse Is dolng business. If the rates are too high or too low in propor- tion to prevailing prices at the time, the commission must publish them in a legal newspaper at the local station. An additional appropriation of $99,- 000 for the work of the state board of health is provided in a bill introduced in the house by J. A. Gates of Kenyon. The bill appropriates $5,000 for equip- ping a Pasteur institute. IN FAVOR OF GOVERNMENT. Decision by Judge Landis In 8tandard Ol Case. Chicago, March 18.—The contention of the attorneys for the Standard Oil company that the government, which 13 now prosecuting the company on in- dictments charging it with accepting rebates, had not: proven the existence of the route by which it claimed the alleged shipments in violation of the law had been made, were swept away by Judge Landls in the United States district court, The court declared that the govern- ment had_proven the existence of » cago and Alton rail- road from Whiting, Ind., and Chappell, I, to St. Louls. He also declared that the omission of the name of Chappell from the tariff sheet did mot invalidate that tariff as applied to the Standard OIl case. It was asserted by the attorneys for the defendant company that the gov- ernment had not shown suffielent pub. lcation of the tariff sheet. Judge Landis declared that the publication had been shown as far as necessary to warrant a prosecution of the present case. The arguments had lasted for almost three days and a decision in fgvor of the Standard Oil company meant that the government would bp prevented from producing further evidence. ASKS FOR . AN INTERVIEW. One Raliroad President Desires to Meet Rocsevelt. New York, March 18.—The Herald says that while the conference of rail- road presidents held in this city, which was attended by McCrea of the Pennsylvenia, Newman of the New York Central, Mellen of the New Ha- ven and Hughitt of the Northwestern, decided not to go to Washington in a body, according to a plan outlined by J. P. Morgan in his talk with the president a few days ago, at least one of them sent a communication to Mr. Roosevelt asking for a' personal inter- view with him. Mr. Mellen, the Her- ald says, went back to New Haven after the meeting and from there sent a message to the president asking for an appointment to confer with him. In railroad circles opinion appeared divided as to the wisdom of the step decided upon by the four men. Of- ficials unidentified with Western roads expressed indifference to the matter. They felt, they said, that they were not being represented in the confer- ence. They regarded it more as a Morgan affair. E. H. Harriman said: “I have no interest in the move- ments of the gentlemen in question and no opinion as to the abvisability of their attending the proposed con- ference.” BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. ‘Walter Heisten, a real estate broker of. Washington, has filed a voluntary petition in bankruptey. His labilities are stated to be $623,000 and assets $39,600. Three big warehouses. in the Fins- bury district, London’s busiest indus- trial center, were gutted by fire, caus- ing damage to the amount of about $1,000,000. Although she is seventy-seven years old Mrs. Frances Metz of Newark, N. J., mother of Comptroller Metz of New York city, surprised and put to rout two husky burglars who were ransack- ing her home in which she lives alone. The sixty-fourth annual boat race between crews representing the Uni- versitles of Oxford and Cambridge was rowed Saturday over the usual course, from Putney to Mortlake, a dis- tance of about four and one quarter miles, and was won by Cambridge. The appearance of smallpox in va- rious localities in the northern part of France, prestmably originating at Dunkirk, has created some public alarm. The authorities, while con- vinced that there is not the slightest danger of an epidemic, are taking pre- cautions. MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat.

McDonald, has been held to await the action of the grand jury on the charge of mur- dering Webster S. Guerin on' Feb. 21. The preliminary hearing was held in the cell of Mrs. McDonald in the coun- ty jail, her attorney having declared to Judge Newcomes that her health would be imperiled if she was com- pelled to appear in court. During the evidence Mrs. McDonald showed little understanding of the proceedings and apparently was not able to recognize her husband or other members of her family. Judge Newcomes declined to admit the prisoner to bail. Boy Crushed to Death. Brainerd, Minn, March 18.—Ervine Bailey, the fourteen-year-old son of Levi Bailey of the town of Crow Wing, was killed by a fall from an engine on which he ‘and a chum were trying to ride home from school.

WATER FAST REGEDING RIVERS AT PITTSBURG AND VI- CINITY AGAIN RETURN TO THEIR CHANNELS. SCORE OF PERSONS MET DEATH ESTIMATES OF BUSINESS AND PROPERTY LOSS RUN UP TO $20,000,000. Pittsburg, March 18.—The rivers are agaln back in their channels and the greatest flood ever known here is a Matter of history. ‘With the receding waters the extent of the damage caused is laid bare and there is no reason to change the es- timate of property and business losses. The most conservative flgures are $10,000,000 and they run from this all the way to $20,000,000. The less of lifg in the past three days is not yet definitely ascertained. At least a score of persons met death in the flood and many are said to be missing, Business is again assuming some- thing like mermal propertions, but it{ will be weeks before Pittsburg, Alle- gheny and the valleys of the three rivers reeover from the widespread commercial paralysis caused by the tying up of railroad and traction lines, the silencing of telgphones and the suspension of the mills, factories and furnaces. Throughout the entire flooded dis- trict a slimy ooze or mud from three to twelve Inches in depth covers the streets, while huge blocks of ice and debris ef all kinds are deposited in yards, on porches or any place where a resting peint could be found. Barly in the day the entire force of the health department descended upon the tecently submerged sections to make an inspection with a view to ascertain- ing the result of the deluge &s touch- ing the matter of public health, Su- erintendent Edwards sees no cause © fear a general epidemic, although he is taking all possible measures to avert one. The flood sufferers who are in need of assistance are being cared for by the authoritles in both cities. Very little distress is reported in Pittsburg, but in Allegheny many familles are in want of the necessities of life. NO HOPE OF RELIEF. ©hio River at Cincinnati Continues to Rise. Cincinnati, March 18.—At the rate of a little more than one-tenth of a foot an hour the Ohlo continued to rise throughout the night and there is po Indication of any immediate relief from the flood which has orept up ver the lowlands and into cellars and puses. That the river will pass 60 feet when the crest arrives here seems certain and fears are still en- tertained that the 65.1 feet reached ip January may be passed. Reports from up ithe river give little hope to those whose property 1is in danger. The weather is clear all along the river. Fleod conditions began to be felt more severely as the water steadily grept up 'towards the 80-foot mark. Ay Incregsing number of factories were forced to close down, as the flood reached ‘the : furnaces. Commission and other ‘business houses on Water street and the river ends of the north and south thoroughfares were forced o abandon their store rooms. Nav- gation on the river closed during the night, the water being too high to permit passage under any bridges. HOMES HAD BEEN VACATED. Water Covers Lower Portlon ef Ports- mouth, O. Portsmouth, 0., March 18.—Back- water forced its way into the north end of the city when the levee, which was weakened by the January flood, gave way. The water spread over an area of five squares, but the people had vacated their homes in advance. The levee in the extreme north end of the city and the one in the west end are still intact, but eannot hold out much longer and a large portion 18 sure to be flooded. The east end defenses which protect the main part of the city will hold. The city pump- ing station is now under water and in a short time Portsmouth will be without water. The flooding of the pumping station has forced shoe fac- tories and other plants to suspend operations. Water is on the ground floors of the Front street wholesale houses. The Portsmouth Steel com- pany’s plant and other industries are shut down. CURRENT UPSETS HOUSE. Migh Water Causes Four Deaths at Marietta, O. Marietta, 0., March 18.—The Ohio giver reached 50.56 feet during the day and’ kept about stationary at that point. The Muskingum is falling. ‘Willlam McCracken, his wife and two children were drowned. They were forced to the second floor by the flood and the swift eurrent upset the house. Many laborers have been thrown out of employment. The Ma- rietta Chair company, employing over 600 men, has been ocompletely swamped. Other manufacturing plants are heavy losers. 8CISSORS TAKEN FROM BODY. Were Left in Abdomen During Opcra- tion Four Years Ago.
