Chicago, March 20.—Charles H.] Gray, comptroller of the Northern Pa-! cific railway, appeared before Inter-' state Commerce Commissioners Prouty and Harlan to supplement the infor- mation given by him regarding tho status of the railroad properties held by the railroad company. h He declared that Aug. 31, 1896,' when the railroad was sold under foreclosure proceedings, the total’ value of the property was $241,067,770, of which amount $22,005,207 was in|_ equipment.

When asked for a valuation of the entire property of the railroad Mr. Gray said he estimated it as be- Ing worth $324,675,486 on June 3, 1906. Inquirles regarding the earnimgs of the road brought out the information that for fifteen vears prive to 1896 the | yearly earnings on the outstanding! capltalization amounted to five-eighths of 1 per cent, but in the year ending Sept. 1, 1906, the earnings were 4.6, per cent. MANY INDICTMENTS LIKELY. 8an Francisco Grand Jury Probing Graft Charges. San Francisco, March 20.—Follow- ing an all day session which lasted un- til after midnight, during which fifteen of the eighteen members of the board of supervisors were examined in re-! gard to alleged municipal corruption and graft, the grand jury met again during the afternoon. It is expected that numerous Indictments will be re- turned. It is known that the district attorney’s office was busy all night on what, it s said, were the legal forms | of the Indictiments. District Attorney Willlam H. Lang- | don said that the sesslon of the grand jury was the most sensational meet: ing of ary inquisitorial body in the history of San Francisco and one of the most remarkable meetings for re- sults of any similar investigation in this country. Abraham Ruef is practically held incommunicado at the St. Francis ho- tel, Elisor Riggs refusing to allow any one but his attorneys to see him. CONFESSES TO MURDER. Ohio Man Admits That He Killed a Young Woman. Columbus, O., March ? .—Herbert Davisson, aged nineteen, has .con- fessed to the murder of Effie Mason, a young woman who was found stran- gled to death in her room' last Feb- ruary. There has been a mystery sur- rounding the case. Davisson was ar- rested when he went into a pawnshop to redeem a watch that had been iden- tified as belonging to the murdered woman. In his confession he said he had quarreled with the woman be- cause she refused to return some money he had given her. He claims he did not know he had killed the wo- man until he learned of it in the newspapers the next day. Worse Inside Than Out. “If you should visit a Japanese house,” sald an orlental, “you would be obliged to remove your shoes at the doorway. Japanese floors are very beautifully kept. I know of some houses where thirty or forty servants have no other duty than the polishing of the floors. A young Japanese stu- dent, studying in London, had the mis- fortune to live in an apartment house ‘where the janitor did not Keep the hall in very good condition. It -was a great change to him, and he felt it keenly. On the approach of winter the Janitor put up In the entrance the no- tice, ‘Please wipe your feet’ The young Japanese, the first night he ob- served this notice, took out a pencil and added to it, ‘On golng out.'”— Minneapolis Journal.

ALIENISTS ON” STAND|GIVES SIMPLE HoME DEFENSE IN THAW CASE INTRO- DUCES EVIDENCE TO CONTRA- DICT PROSECUTION. ANSWER JEROME'S LONG QUESTION EXPERTS DECLARE DEFENDANT INSANE WHEN HE KILLED 8TANFORD WHITE. New York, March 20.—Cross-exam- ination of Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe, in- sanity expert for the defense, occu- pled the whole of the morning session of the court trying Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White. The district attorney produced a medical work edited by Dr. Jelliffe and in- terrogated the witness regarding the contents of many of its chapters. There were frequent wrangles be- tween the prosecutor and the witness. Mr. Delmas during the cross-exam- ination noted exceptions to several of Mr. Jerome's remarks on the ground of misconduct. He also objected to the whole course of the cross-examina- tlon, but Justice Fitzgerald overruled all objections. When Mr. Jerome had completed his long cross-examination Mr. Delmas undertook an extensive re- direct examination. Dr. Jelliffe said that it was his opinion that Thaw had been insane—suffering from a para- noiac form of some insanity—for at least two and a half years prior to the tragedy. Dr. Jelliffe was still on the stand when the luncheon recess was or- dered. When he finishes there will be four more experts called in behalf of Thaw. Additional Experts Testify. Dr. Jelliffe was recalled immediately after recess, but Mr. Jerome sald he would abandon a re-cross-examination. The physigfan thereupon was excused and Mr. Delmes summoned to the stand Dr. Charles W. Pllgrim, super- fatendent of the Hudson river state Rospital at Poughkeepsie and presi- grnt of the state lunacy commission. . Pilgrim expressed the opinion that Thaw was ‘White. Dr. Pilgrim was excused after a brief cross-examination and Dr. Minas Gregory was called. Dr. Gregory gave it as his opinion that Thaw was in- sane when he shot and killed Stanford ‘White. Dr. Charles G. Wagner was then re- enlled and, answering Jerome’s hypo- thetioal question, said that Thaw was thsane when he killed White. Dr. Britton D. Evans also was re- ¢alled to answer the prosecution’s bypothetical question and in reply said he thought Thaw insane when he shot and killed White. BROTHERS LOVE SAME WOMAN. Fight With Knives Until Both Are Mortally Wounded. New York, March 20.—Two brothers who loved the same woman fought with knives and clubs in an Hast Side saloon until both were so desperately ipjured that they probably will die. The men are George and Giovanni Francesco, who came to America from Palermo about two years ago. There they had both been rivals for the hand of the same girl, who eventually accepted George, the elder, and they were married shortly before the trio came to New York. Not long after thelr arrival George began to neglect his wife and at last she left him and went to live with friends in Brooklyn. When the brothers met in the East Bide saloon Glovanni upbraided George for his treatment of the young wife, taunted him in front of a number of other Itallans and admitted that he —the younger brother—still loved the woman. Instantly the brothers closed in a flerce struggle which ended in the hallway, where they were found un- conscious by & policeman. George’s ead had been crushed by a blow and the younger man had a deep knife wound in the abdomen. OUTCOME - OF AN ELOPEMENT. Double Tragedy Occurs in a Kentucky Town. Ashland, Ky, March 20.—Two mur- ders and an avenger made an outlaw are reported as the result of one wan’s act at Helller, Ky. In an old village in Southern Virginla Frank Dumon and Alcene Rose met and loved and an elopement followed. Sam Rose, brother of the girl, followed them to Hellier, where, in a pistol duel, he killed Dumon and almost im- mediately afterwards was - himealf shot by' Ellas Dumon, brother of Frank, dying beside his sister’s door- step. Dumon took to the mountains and a posse 18 in pursuit. BOY SHOOTS HIS FATHER. insane when he killed Well Known 8t. Louls Physician the Victim, St. Louis, March 20.—Dr. Jullus H. ‘Welnsberg, a well known physician, is lying in a serious condition at St. An- thony hospital as the result of being shot four times Ly his son Oscar, aged eighteen years. The boy is under arrest. He said he had only recently learned that his own mother died at his birth and the present wife of Dr. Weinsburg is his stepmother. This caused estrangement and oulminated in the shooting. RECEIVED IN SILENCE. Ministerial Deolaration Read In the Russian Duma. St. Petersburg, March 20.—The min- isterial declaration setting forth the programme for legislation was read during the afternoon by Premier Stoly pin before the lower house of parlia- ment assembled in the hall of nobility. The declaration of policy, which was studlously courteous in tone and avolded all reference to drumhead courtmartlal and other cauges of con- tention, was recetved in respectful silence. M. Stolypin was not once fn- terrupted and at the close of his ad- CATARRH MIXTURE Noted Authority Tells How to Prevent and Relieve Catarrh of all Kinds With Home Made Remedy. Unless all signs fail, this will prove a hard season for those who are subject to catarrhal disease. The coming months will be a harvest for the doctors and patent wedicine manufacturers unless great care is taken to dress warm and keep the feet dry. This is the advice of a well- known authority and should be heeded by all who are subject to rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles and especially catarrh, While the latter is considered by most sufferers an incurable dis- ease, there are few men or women who will fail to experience great relief from the following simple home prescription, and if taken in time it will prevent an attack of caiarrh during the en- tire season Here is the prescription which any one cun mix: Fluid Extract Dandelion one half ounce, Com- pound Kargon one ounce. Com- pound Syrup Sarsaparilla three cunces Shake well in a bottle and use in teaspoonful deses after cach meal and again at bed- time, These are mostly vegetable in- gredients and can be obtained from any good presecription pharmacy at small cost. The Compound Kargon in this prescription acts directly upon the eliinative tissues of the kid- ney s to make them filter and strain from the blood, the poisons that produce all- forms of catarrhal affections. Relicf is often felt even alter the first few doses and it is seldom that the sufferer ever experiences a re- turn attack within the year. This prescription makes =2 splendid remedy for all forms of blood disorders and such symp- toms as lame back,bladder weak- nesses and rheumatism painsare entirely dispelled. As this ‘valuable prescription comes from a thoroughly reliable source, it should be heeded by every afflicted reader. dress received hearty applause from the Conservatives. The first' speech, however, that ot Prince Zereteli, in behalf of the Social Democracy, provoked an angry scene between the members of the Right and Left parties, in which such epithets as “liar,” ‘murderer’” and “in- clter of outbreaks, against the Jews,” were freely exchanged. Prince Zere- teli proposed a resolution in. behalf of the Social Democrats, which arraigned the government for violating all the rights of the people promised in the imperial manifesto of Oct. 30, 1905; with filling the prisons with Liberals; the introduction of.drumhead ;courts- martial; protecting the organizers of rlot and countenancing the minister of the interior and other bureaucrats in robbing peasants through the pur- chase of estates through the Peasant bank, despoiling the working classes and willful discrimination. The resolution concluded with the declaration that, the people can lib- erate their friends, fighters for free- dom, only when they themselves are free. MANCHURIAN RAIL DISASTER. Seventeen Persons Kllled and Thirty- five Injured. Harbin, Manchuria, March 20.—As the result of a collision between a passenger train and a freight train at Turushiche station seventeen persons were killed and thirty-five were in- jured. GREAT DAMAGE THE RESULT HEAVY RAINS CAUSE RIVERS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO OVERPLOW. San Francisco, March 20.—Heavy rains which have prevailed since last Baturday have caused the rivers of Northern California to overflow and great damage has resulted. A large part of the town of Oroville has been inundated and a portion of Marysville 18 under water. The Mormon island bridge agross the American river was waghed away. At tNe Folsom state prison two guardhouses were swept away. At Sacramento no danger is appre- hendedy as the levees are in good con- dition. The situation at Stockton, bowever, appears to be more serious, as the local streams are higher than for years and a great volume of water is pouring into the San Joaquin. The towns of Woodbridge and Lin- coln are in danger of belng flooded. The lowlands are under water and the wheat and barley crops are ruined. The levees are being patrolled and every effort is being made to prevent & disastroussinundation. ——p i~ GETS DOWN T0 WORK HOUSE PUTS IN BUSY SESSION AND RECOMMENDS MANY BILLS FOR PASSAGE. EFFORT TO KILL MEASURE TO INCREASE PAY OF JUDGES ENDS IN FAILURE, St. Paul, March 19.—The house members had a working streak in the afternoon. When the body assembled J. H. Dorsey of Glencoe moved that all other business be dispensed with and that the representatives take up gen- eral orders in committee of the whole. A. J. Rockne of Zumbrota, chairman of the rules committee, suggested that since most of the bills were of minor Importance they might be made a special order, so they could be voted upon as soon as they were considered and that a rule be adopted limiting de- bate to five minutes. However, as the rules committee had not taken ac- tion, he suggested that this method be waived for the time being, but it will probably be tried again. C. B. Miller of Duluth was in the chair. The Davidson corrupt practices act, prohibiting all kinds of treating at slections, was recommended to pass by the house committee of the whole. The bill prohibits any candidate or committee from giving directly or through an agent, during a primary or election campaign, any money, cigars, drinks or other things of value. Nor Is the candidate or his committee per- mitted to pay any newspaper for pub- lishing anything favoring his candi- dacy, unless the article is signed by one person. The bill requiring express, tele- graph, telephone and other companies to pay special assessments. for local improvements, introduced by F. E. Nimocks, was recommended to pass in the house committee of the whole. Attempt to Kill Measire Fails. F. B. Phillips of St. Paul made an effort in the house committee of the whole to amend or kill the bill to in- crease the judges’ salaries, but he was outvoted and the bill would have re- ceived a favorable recommendation had not Knut Knutson of Swift Falls and Burdette Thayer of Spring Valley suggested a com-romise and agked progress, which request was granted. The bill provides an Increase for the justices of the supreme court from $5,- 000 to $7,000 and for the district judges from $38,500 to $5,000, the judges In counties of 100,000 to receive an additional amount from the county. The bill proposing a constitutional amendment establishing a road and bridge fund, introduced in the house by John Zelch of Cottage Grove, was given favorable action in the commit- tee of the whole. The bill proposes an amendment similar to the one sub- mitted to tie voters last fall, but it i shorter and simpler in its provisions. The new amendment creates a fund for aid in the construction and im- provement of highways and bridges, the fund to include all' moneys derived from investmeuts in the internal im- provement land fund and all funds ac- crulng'to any road and bridge fund. The iogislature is authorized to add to the fund by an annual tax levy. The bill provides that in no case shal’ miore than two-thirds of the cost of any work be paid by the state from this fund. The bill providing that all em- ployes should be paid twice a month came near seeing its finish in the house committee of the whole, but was saved by a motion for progress. Recommended for Passage.

Roger Cavailhon, a young French gen- tleman rider, who had won his hun- dredth steeplechase, was drawn for the conscription and had to serve for a year. He asked to be placed in the cavalry, explaining with due modesty that he was not unknown as a horse- man.
