Minn.. as second class matter, SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM BODY IS EXHUMED. Chicago Man Suspected of Being Mur dered for Insurance. Chicago, April .—In the belief that they have unearthed a possible coun- terpart of the case of Herman Billek, now awaiting execution here for the poisoning of several members of the Vzral family, county authorities caused to be exhumed the body of Charles Stroner, a well to do Bo- hemian whose death a month ago is alleged by some members of his fam- ily to have been due to a “white liquid” administered shortly before his death. The alleged motive for the supposed murder of Stroner is the same as that in the case of the Vzra' family, the hope of profiting by insur- ance on the lives of the victims.

Caracas, April |—President Cas- tro's official organ, El Constitucional, publishes a part of Venezuela's answer to Secretary Root’s last note reiterat- ing the secretary’s previous demands for the arbitration of the five Amer- ican claims. These are the words of the Venezuelan minister of foreign affairs to Minister Russell: “The government of Venezuela re- fuses for the time being to take under consideration the insinuation made in your note, because, up to now, Mr. Minister, you have not contradicted the notes of this ministry of dates July 9 and Sept. 20 last, which treat- ed of the points which have been the subjact of disenssion and in which the reascns on which this government then founded its negative were per- fectly well defined. In view of this the cases in question, comprised among those which require diplomatic action, cannot be considered and the gsovernment of Venezuela would see with satisfaction that the United States would consider this matter ter- minated, the interested parties always baving the right of recourse to the tribunals’ of justice of the republic if they deem it convenient.” FORT HAMILTON FOR SALE New York Comptroller Wants to Col- lect Sewer Assessment.

MISTREATMENT OF INDIANS Newspaper Woman Appears Before Senate Committee. ‘Washington, April 4—Mrs. Helen Plerce Grey, the newspaper writer arrested last summer because of her connection with the protests of Crow Indians against the manner in which the government agents managed the Crow reservation in Montana, created a number of sensations when she re- sumed ler statement before the sen- ate committee on Indian affairs.

Itis claimed that the price has been advanced within the last few months largely more than equal to the duty. ¥ “The publishers of the United States, represented by Herman Rid. der, claim that the manufacturers of wood pulp and print paper have by agreement and combination, even cov- ering arrangements with Canadian manufacturers, arbitrarily limited the production and advanced the price of print paper. If the claim of the pub- lishers is correct the manufacturers of print paper are subject to penalty and the trust can he dissolved and enjoined by proceedings in equity in any of the United States courts where they or any of them can be found and if the claim of the publishers is cor- rect the advance in the price is not gue to the duty, but results from the legal trust and combination. If the small duty were repealed it would not interfere with the illegal trust agree- ment.” WILL BE COMPREHENSIVE House Committee Hearings on the Al- drich Bill. ‘Washington, April {.—It is the in- tention of the house committee on banking and currency to make the hearings on the Aldrich currency bill, which it is preparing to begin on next ‘Wednesday, as comprehensive as pos- sible and teo this end all the clearing louses, boards of trade, chambers of commerce, bankers’' associations and other commercial bodies in the United States will be invited to present their views either in the shape of written communications or through their own representatives.

N — Take care of backache. A great many cases of kidney complaint are reported about here, also bladder trouble and rheumatism. An authority once stated that pain in the back, loins or region of the kidneys is the danger signal nature hangs out to notify the sufferer that there is something wrong with the kidneys, which should receive immediate attention. Only veget- able treatment should be adminis- tered and absolutely no strongly alcoholic patent medicines, which are harmful to the kidneys and bladder. The following perscription, while simple, harmless and inexpensive, is known and recognized as a sovereign remedy for kidney complaint. The in- gredients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy and any- one can mix them: Compound Kar- gon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dan- delion, one-half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaprilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take ‘n teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. This preparation is said to restore the natural function of the kidneys, so they will sift and strain the pois- onous waste matter, uric acid, etc., from the blood, purifying it and re- lieving rheumatism. Backache will be releived, the urine will be neutral- ized and cleared and no longer a cause of irritation, thereby overcom- ing such symptoms as weak bladder, painful, frequent and other urinary difficulties, This is worth trying and may prove from maintaining in force the 2-cent just what many people here need.

POPULISTS IN CONVENTION Bryan Supporters Fail to Secure Ad- Journment, Bt. Louis, April | \—The Populist na- tlonal convention, which was called for 10 a. m., was somewhat behind that hour in beginning proceedings. The chief cause of this was the re- newed efforts of the supporters of William J. Bryan to secure an agree- ment for an adjournment until after the Republican and Democratic na- tional conventions. They made strong arguments before the members of the national committee and also before the committee on credentials, but with no apparent effect, save to delay the proceedings. The convention came to order short- 1y before 11.0o'clock, about: 300 dele- gates being present. After an invoca- tion by Rev. Thomas Wadsworth of Indiana the formal proceedings were begun by James H. Ferris of Joliet, the chairman of the national commit- tee. Following the address of Mr. Ferris Jacob 8. Coxey of Ohio was named as temporary chairman of the conven- tlon. After taking the chair he made #m address, covering the leading eco- nomfes! questions of the day, paying particular attention to the currency. Woman Kills Male Intruder.
