SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM BIXBY ON PIONEER PRESS Tams Bixby, who is prominently identified’ with the Bemidji Townsite company, now has control of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Charles S. Mitchell, editor of the Duluth News-Tribune says of Mr. Bixby and his new ven- ture: ““T'he St. Paul Pioneer Press today passes under the management of Mr. Tams Bixby who returns after an absence of several years passed among the Chicasaws and Cherokees to the land of the Chippewas and the Sioux. “There were many years extend- ing through the administration of Governor Merriam, Governor Nelson and Governor Clough when the name of Mr.Bixby was almost a syno- nym for that of the Republican party of Minnesota. These were in the good old days when political warfare was of the scalp-raising variety. But Mr. Bixby’s residence among the civilized and Christian- ized tribes who have gone per- sistently Democratic in their politi- cal affiliations may have tempered his methods, though they could not change his partisanship. “His hosts of friends and admirers in the state, and the entire news- paper fraternity will welcome him back. He will doubtless add zest to the game and he enters a vast field of influence through the splendid newspaper property which by the energy and business ability of Mr. Conde Hamlin has been made a source of handsome financial in- come.” managing BOYS WILL BE BOYS. We are much impressed to learn from the formal “platform” drawn up by the National Educational Association that the country now faces the following conditions of affairs: “There are in the minds of the children and youth of today a ten- dency toward a disregard for con- stituted authority, a lack of respect for age and superior wisdom, a weak appreciation of the demands of duty, a disposition to follow pleasure and interest rather than obligation and order.” In other words, the great educa- tors of the United States in high convention assembled ceremoniously announce that “boys will be boys.” It’s all right, of course, but it sounds like one of the devil-may- care speeches of Charles Warren Fairbanks. CHURCH HIT BY LIGHTNING One Man Kliled and Several Injured at Waterford, Wis. acine, Wis, July 2/.—One man iilled, several Injured, barns de- stroyed and other buildings dpmaged and many horses and cattle killed was the result of the serlous raln, wind and electrical storm which visited Ra- cine county. At the village of Water- ford the people were gathering for mass in 8t. Mary’s church when a bolt of lightning struck the steeple, passing down, and Wengel Miksch of Milwaukee, who was leaning against the door, was killed. Beveral other people were knocked down and se- verely stunned. Great excitement pre- vailed and persons ran from the build- ing, but it did not catch fire, Words and Deeds. “There never was a time in my life, fellow citizens,” exclalmed the candi- date, “when I hadn't the courage to call a spade a spade!” “Yes,” spoke up an old farmer in the audience, “and there never was a time In your life when you had the ge to take one In your handl"— g0 Tribune. 2 INCREASE IN EXECUTIONS New Russian Regulations Hurry Many to Thelr Doom. p 'St. Petersburg, July 24—The new regulations concerning a mode of pro- cedure for the military district courts, introduced July 20, have now begun to bear fruit and the results consti- tute a close approach to the notorious reign of the drumhead courtsmartial which were abolished by the late duma. The innovations shorten the entire course of the inquest and trial, allow- Ing only seventy-two hours between indictment and execution, including the appeal of the prisoner to the mili tary court of cassation and the de cision of this court. The former reg: ulations allowed a fortnight for this procedure. The new military courts are now obliged to hand down sen tences without waiting to hear the; testimony of witnesses who may be absent. They also enjoy jurisdiction over a wider area than the former drumhead courtsmartial, which only operated In the provinces that had been placed under a state of extraor: dinary defense. The number of executions under the new rulings shows a sudden in crease. At Kiev Monday flve sappers were executed and Tuesday another sapper was sentenced to death. Three peasants have been executed at Mos cow and another at Warsaw and af Yekaterinoslav three workmen have been put to death under decisions handed down by thase new courts. At Riga a young man named Ber land went into a clothing store, select: ed an overcoat and then started for the door without having paid for it When asked to settle his bill he drew a revolver, covered the clerk and suc ceeded In getting away. He was later captured and sentenced to death. An other young man named Danbe was sentenced to death at Riga for the theft of $5 and two girl accomplices agad twelve and twenty years, re ! spectively, were sentenced to exile and hard labor for life. BELIEVED TO BE INSANE. New Yorker Kills Girl and Danger- ously Wounds Man. New York, July 24.—Miss Nsther Norling, a young woman, was shot and almost instantly killed, it is alleged, by Charles Warner, her former em- ployer, as she was entering an uptown haberdashery store on West Forty- second street, where she was em- ployed as a bookkeeper. Warner, it is charged by the police, fired several shots at A. R. Spicer, the manager of the store, while effecting his escape. Warner fled to the sporting goods store of A. G. Spaulding & Co. and although twenty policemen surround- ed the bullding and searched it thor- oughly no trace of Warner could be found. The police believe that War- ner was unbalanced by business re- verses and other troubles. Miss Nor- ling was about twenty-three years old ang lived at Ridgefield Park, N. J. Several hours after the shooting of Miss Norling Cha 5 Warner, the man accused of having shot her, ap- peared at the hat (‘ore of John C. Wilson and asked ¥ r. Wilson, whom he knew, for a loan of $10. When Mr. Wilson turned to get the money War- ner shot him in the back and right arm, infilcting serious wounds. Warner then fled from the store, brushing aslde the employes who at- tempted to bar his way, but upon reaching tke sidewalk he was inter- cepted by a truckman, who struck him over the head with a cotton hook. Warner fell insensible to the sidewalk and was turned over to the police. - Wilson was taken to a hospital, where it was found that one of War- ner's bullets had lodged in his kid- neys and that his condition was erit- feal. At the hospital it was stated there was little chance for Warner to sur- vive his injuries. KILLED BY YOUNG WOMAN Claims Los Angeles Business Man In- tended to Desert Her. Los Angeles, Cal, July 24.—George T. Bennett, proprietor of the Bennett Electrical company, was shot and killed by Estelle Corwell, a young woman with whom he had lived for the past five years. Bennett was killed as he sat on the porch of the home of Miss Marguerite Bennett, who, although of the same name, was no relation. According to the story related by Miss Corwell Bennett has of late been a frequent caller at the home of Miss Bennett and Mige Corwell became con-| vinced that he was about to desert her. She drove to Miss Bennett’s home in a cab and calling Bennett to where his auto stood shot him twice, one of the bullets taking effect in his brain. Miss Corwell drove to the po- lice station, where she surrendered herself into eustod:; REFUSED TO AID REVOLT. Wealthy New York Merchant Killed by an Armenian. New York, July 24.—As he stepped on the sldewalk from his store on East Seventeenth street near Union square Hoohanes Tavshanjlan, a wealthy rug importer and Persian commissloner to the Chicago world's falr In.1893, was shot from behind and almost Instantly killed. The assassin, a shabbily dressed Armenian who was arrested after a chase of several blocks, declared, according to the po- lice, that he came here from Chicago to kill the merchant. The prisoner described himself as Beros Hampora- zoomian, twenty-four years old, of Chi- cago. According to the police the prisoner declared that he killed Tavshanjian because the merchant had refused to contribute for the finencing of a revo- lution in Armenia against Turkish rule. Mistook. Wife for Burglar. "'Chicago, July 24—Mrs, Jennie Lau- berbauer, forty-seven years old,”Was shot and instantly killed by her hus- band, Joseph, fifty-one years of age, at their home here. Lauberbauer, who was arrested, told the police that he mistook his wife for a burglar. The NINETY-EIGHT PERISH Death Rell by Loss of Steamer Columbia on Pacific Coast. NUMBER OF BOATS MISSING List of Casualties May Be Reduced When All the Small Craft Launched From the Sinking Vessel Have Been Accounted For. San Francisco, July 24—The Pa- cific Coast Steamship company's pas- senger steamer Pomona arrived in San Francisco from Eureka at 10:30 a. m., bringing from the latter place one of the surviving passengers of the wrecked steamer Columbia and the thirty-two members of the Columbia’s crew who were saved out of her total complement of fifty-nine. It Is hoped now that the loss of life will not be so heavy as at first re- ported. The exact number will not be known until complete accounts are brought in from Bryceland and Shel- ter cove. It is known that of 188 pas- sengers reported by the company as sailing on the Columbja ninety-seven were saved by the George W. Elder, which towed the San Pedro into Eu- reka. There were fifty-nine in the crew of the Columbia and of these thirty-seven were on the Elder. Re- ports from Shelter cove announce the arrival of one boat with fifteen more passengers and crew, leaving the total death roll at ninety-eight. So far only one boat has arrived at Shelter cove, although four were re- ported there. It is sald that before the steamer sank six of her boats had been launched, together with three liferafts. These have yet to be heard trom and it is expected that steamers passing up and down the coast will succeed in picking them up with their living freight. That so many escaped is accredited, strange to say, to the fact that the explosion of the boilers when the steamer was sinking coun- teracted the tremendous suction and saved a lot of people who were in the water from being drawn into the vor- tex and down with the wreckage. The back wave from the sinking steamer threw many, swimming for their lives, back from the point of danger and gave them a chance to escape. Not a few of the passengers on board the_' Columbla were teachers and their friends who had been attending the National Educational association meet- ing in Los Angeles. Many of these have been rescued and were among the arrivals on board the George W. Elder. : JAPS DELAY ARRIVAL. Clash With American Sailors at Brest Feared. Brest, France, Julylz‘l.—’l‘he Japa- nese squadron is expected to reach this port shortly. This delay in arrlving is generally attributed here to the desire of the Japanese commander to make as short as possible the time that the Amer- ican and Japanese warships will be together in the harbor in order to re- duce the chances of any untoward in- cldent between the sailormen. The sailors from the American cruisers Washington and Tennessee, now here, seem to hold a grudge against the Japanese on account of a fancied grievance at Jamestown and there has been some threatening talk in the cafes frequented by the American bluejackets. Rear Admiral Charles E. .Stockton, in command of the Amer- ican vessels, has decided to grant no shore leave after the Japanese arrive. #he American officers are preparing to treat the Japanese visitors with great cordiality. They will be shown every courtesy and entertained at din- ner on board’ the American flagship. MOST SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT German Military Balloon About Berlin for Hours.

One of the biggest animals of the lot pushed aside the automobile in which Mrs. Mercier was in to make a passage for himself. When she saw the head of the elephant she gave a scream and fainted. She did not recover con- sciousness. MOB AFTER KIDNAPPERS. Two Men Roughly Handled by St. Paul Crowd. St. Paal, July 24.—Driven to bay in a livery barn by an enraged mob Henry Holland and George Johnson, clinging to Holland's three-year-old girl whom they had kidnapped, were saved from possible lynching only by the hardest kind of work by the po- lice.

The kidnapping was from the present home of the child’s mother. French Army Officers Displeased. Paris, July 24.—It is reported that General L. F. H. Metzinger and Gen- eral N. C. L.
