The north country papers report great droves of the American reindeer on the tramp from the shores of Lake of the Woods, and ’tis said that this returning is due to the magnani- mous acts of the state’s game war- dens in giving them protection. It will be remembered that not long ago “Doc” Rutledge, game warden at Bemidji, represented the situation of the caribou in his baili- wik and asked the Indian commis- sioner at Washington for an order forbidding the killing of these inno- cent creatures by any of the Indian tribes. The order was made and promulgated, but it is a surprise to all how quickly the ukese was wafted to the herds of western Ontario and how unanimously they determined to return. It behooves us all to speak of the gentle three-horned monarch with respect, for his hearing is acute and his sense of ridicule seems to surpass that of all other animals. OBSERVATIONS.

BULLET IN HIS WRIST Major Alfred Dreyfus Narrowly Escapes Assassination. AFFAIR OCCURS IN PANTHEON Ceremonies in Connection With the Placing of M. Zola’s Remains in Famous Paris Temple Marred by Attempted Murder. Paris, June 5.—At the conclusion of the ceremony in connection with the placing of the remains of M. Emile Zola in the Pantheon and while the procession was emerging from the por- tico to witness the defile of the troops a member of the staff of La France Militaire, who gave his name as Gre- gorl, fired two shots point blank at Major Alfred Dreyfus. The Ilatter, however, was only struck once, in the hand. His assailant was arrested. Dreyfus’ injuries are only slight. The incident occurred at the foot of the catafalque, directly in front of the tribune from which M. Doumergue, the minister of public instruction, de- Uvered an eulogy on M. Zola’s match- less courage in arousing the con- soience of the nation to the necessity of doing justice to Dreyfus.

Laning, formerly vice president and a director of the defunct Ohio Trust company, was indicted on seven counts charging embezzlement, was Jointly indicted with James P. Gibbs, president of the closed bank, in two Indictments in which obtaining money by fulse pretenses are alleged, and another indictment charging misappli- cation of the funds of the bank. F. W. Christian, secretary and treas- urer of the bank, was twice indicted on the charge of perjury and making false reports to the state examiners. ‘William 8. Perrin, a director, is thrice indicted on the charge of obtaining property under false pretélises. Two additional indictmen®l accuse Presi- dent Gibbs of aiding and abetting Seec- retary Christian in the charge of per- Jury and making false reports. Altogether, it is alleged, Congress- man Laning and President Gibbs ab- stracted and misapplied funds and credits of the bank to the extemt of $56,564. It was said that the failure of the ‘Ohio Trust company in January brought about the failure of two other banks, the fallure of two steel com- panies and a receivership for the Lan: MAJOR DREYFUS. the “Chant du Depart” was floating away through the classic temple and as Prasident Fallieres and the mem- bers of the presidential party, after shaking hands with Madame Zola and her two children, was moving out to- wards the portico to review the gar- rison of Paris, two sharp reports startled the vast assemblage. For the instant every one believed that Pres- ident Fallferes had been shot. A scene ‘of indescribable confusion followed and many women present shrieked and fainted. The crowd surged forward, but quickly broke and soattered when the members of the republican guard, who lined the tran- septs, rushed up. The assailant of the major was struck down. A flerce knot of soldiers and civillans were struggling over Major Dreyfus and his fallen assaflant. Major Dreyfus, his hawklike features pale as death, but manifesting complete composure, was holding up his hand, from which blood was streaming, while the soldiers could with difficulty preveht the em- raged crowd from beating and®kick- ing the man on the floor. Upon the sharp command of Pre- fect of Police Lepine, who was imme- diately on the scere, the assailant of Dreyfus was dragged to his feet. He presented a pitiable spectacle. From looked . around appealingly as if for sympathy, but they met only the angry crowd and his ears heard only imprecations upon his foul deed. The man’s clothing was in shreds and his coat and vest had been liter- ally torn from his body. Major Dreyfus, accompanied by his brother Matthew, who was the first to strike the assailant after he fired, Dr. Pozzi and several other friends, was led away to the mayor’s office oppo- site the Pantheon, where his wound was dressed. The doctors found that the bullet had entered his wrist. Gregori’s act undoubtedly was in- spired by the campaign which the re- actionary press has been conducting against Zola as “an insulter of the army” and “a traducer of his coun- try;” furthermore, the Catholic Faith, a paper to which Gregori was at- tached, was a supporter of General ing Printing company, of which Con- gressman Laning is president. ‘Sheriff's Sale of Real Estate under Judzment {5704 Foreclosure, STATE OF'MINNESOTAM | o County of Beltrami, |5 District Court, Fitteenth Judicial District.

NEW HORSE A BAD ACTOR| Rears While Ascending Bank of Stream and Animal and Rider Fall Backward Into Water, Both Luckily Escaping Injury. ‘Washington, June 4.—President Roosevelt had an exceedingly narrow .escape from a serious accident while horseback riding in Rock Creek park. The president, who was accom- panied by Mrs. Roosevelt, was riding a new horse, a young animal. The party rode down through a cut in a bank, forded a creek and were ascend- ing the hank on the other side. The president’s horse reared, the president leaned forward in the saddle and threw the reins down in loops so as to avoid pulling the horse backwards. Again on reaching the top of the bank the horse reared a second time and the president leanéd forward again, but the animal stood up straight on its hind legs and then went over back- ward into the creek with the presi- dent. Feeling that he was going back- ward the president slipped from the saddle and as luck would have it fell into the creek close behind the horse, which landed on its back. The horse fell on the down stream side of the president, who, realizing that he would be in danger from the animal’s feet should the horse turn towards him, got out of the way as rapidly as pos- sible. The horse, however, turned over from the president and got up. He was captured at once, the presi- dent remounted and rode for an hour and a half before returning to the ‘White House. The fall from the horse’s back to the stream bed was a dis- tance of more than ten feet. The stream was about two feet deep, with an exceedingly rocky bed. Neither the president nor the horse received the slightest injury. NO “JIM CROW” CHURCHES Proposal Bitterly Denounced by Pres- byterian Minister. Pittsburg, June 4.—The general as- sembly of the United Presbyterian church became involved in an ani- mated discussion of the racial question while considering the report of the board of freedmen’s missions, pre- sented by Rev. Dr. J. W. Witherspoon, corresponding secretary of the board. “We want no ‘Jim Crow’ churches in the North,” said Rev. Dr. D. §. Littell. “What we do want is the church of Jesus Christ. The white and black attend our public schools together, then why should they not SRt e (R . This remark was called out by a resolution providing that colored mem- bers of the United Presbyterian church in the North shall be“placed under the care of the presbyteries in which they reside and that their churches be taken over by the board of home missions, the same, as de- pendent white congregations. Holdup ‘Man Kills Policeman. San Francisco, June’5.—Policeman W. H. Heins was shot and killed in a dance hall by a holdup man named T. O. Young. Young entered the hall, drew a revolver and covered the bar- tender, who promptly ran for the door end escaped. Policeman Heins, who saw the disturbance, entered the hall. At the doorway, before he had time to draw his revolver, Young met him and fired at close range. Young was cap- tured and is now in the city prison. IT IS SERIOUS.

A Bemidji- citizen shows you how to avoid them. Clark Roberts, living at goo America Ave., . Bemidji, Minn., says: ‘I suffered severely for two or three years with a pain in the small of my back. The pain would come on very suddenly and last for two or three weeks, caus- ing me much misery and discom- fort while it lasted. The kidney secretions were dark and un- natrual in appearance, and there was much soreness about the kid- ney regions. I went to the Owl Drug Store and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. After using them a short time I began feeling very much better. I have not suffered from any trouble with my kidneys since.

OWNS FOUR MILLION SHARES Some of the Securities Are of Little Value, but Others, It Is Believed, May Be of Use in Adding to Assets of Bank. ¥ Pittsburg, June 5.—According te re- ports William Monigomery, former cashier of the defunct Allegheny Na- tional bank of Pittsburg, who is in jail charged with the misapplication of over $500,000 of the bank’s funds, has broken his sphinxlike silence and made a statement to Robert Lyons, receiver of the institution. As a result of the revelations made by Montgomery it is said that the bank, with a small assessment on the stockholders, will pay all the depos- itors. The conference between the re- ceiver and the cashier is said to have developed the fact that Montgomery had- a mania for buying stocks of mines and is the owner of 4,000,000 shares of securities representing com- panies whose properties are scattered along the Pacific coast from South America to Alaska. Some of them, it is.believed, may be used in adding to the assets of the bank, but it is re- ported that many of them represented immense losses over the original prices. So far as the work of clearing up the affairs of the bank has progréessed there is now on hand $500,000 in cash. This has been collected from the hold- ers of notes found in the institution when the receiver took charge. VICTIM OF CRAZED YOUTH Chicago Man Shot Down on Streets of Minneapolis. Minneapolis, June 5—A. P. Cam- den of €hicago, superintendent of con- struction for E. L. Benson & Co., ele- vator builders, was shot dead on Nic- ollet avenue by an insane boy giving his name as James Montague and his LS as CWEIILY, The man and boy were total stran- gers and the murder was plainly the conception of a crazed mind. Mon- tague was captured shortly after the shooting. The police have not been able to establish the identity of the murderer. A search of his personal effects shows that he received mail under the name of James Montague, but the police are satisfied that this was a pseudonym taken over from flash fiction. In the boy’s trunk was ‘found a complete feminine outfit, the collar being al- ready attached to the shirtwaist as if the disguise had been carefully pre- pared to don at short notice. A wo- man’s wig was part of the disguise. Miss May Camden, Hotel Bucking- ham, St. Paul, has identified the body of Montague’s victim as that of her brother, A. P. Camden of Chicago. He was in Minneapolis attending the convention of the Fraternity of Oper- ative Millers. He formerly resided in St. Paul. Montague explains the shooting sim- ply by saying that the saloons and theaters were all closed and he want- ed some excitement. ' There is no doubt as to his insanity. NEVADA TOWN HELD UP. Eight Men and Two Women Partici- 3 pate in Robberies. Rawhide, Nev., June 5.—A gang of eight men and two women in a serles of holdups, coupled with an attempt at arson, robbed the Rawhide hotel of $300, lining the occupants against the wall; held up two men in a tent, held .|up and beat a stage driver, robbed a drug store, held up three other men, securing small sums, and set fire to the Rawhide hotel to prevent being followed. They escaped to the hills with $400. The sheriff, with posses, alded by the state police, is in pursuit. St. Paul Buginess Man Suicides. St. Paul, June b5.—George Henry Ranney, prominent in business and social circles, was found dead by mem- bers of his family, hanging to a door with a rope in their apartments at the Angus, a fashionable apartment house. Mr. Ranney had been suffering from melancholia, caused by ill health. He was fifty-seven years old and he had been a.resident of St. Paul for twenty-nine years.

Minneapolis, June 65.—Word has been received from Washington that the federal government has filed suits egainst C. A. Smith & Co. of Minne- apolis to cancel patents to 9,280 acres of timber land in the state of Oregon, valued at- over $1,000,000.

London, July b5.—Violent protests were made by the Socialists and La- bor members in the house of com- mons against King Edward’s ap- proaching visit to Russia in language the offensiveness of which no attempt was made to veil. The speakers drew lurid pictures of the alleged condi- tions in the Muscovite empire, declar- ing that while they had no objection to King Edward privately visiting his relative, Emperor Nicholas, they had the greatest abhorrence of the idea of a state visit to Russia, “with its hor- rors, tortures and persecutions.” “Fra- ternizing with the hangmen of liberty in Russia,” they declared to be a shame and a disgrace to Great Brit- ain, which “could not avoid contam- ination if she mixed in evil company.” Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey, on ‘behalf of the government, depre- cated the tone and temper of this at- tack. He declared the evidence re- ported clearly that the system of gov- ernment in Russia had markedly bet- tered during the last two years and sald an attempt to exert pressure as suggested would hinder this constitu- tional progress instead of helping it. James Keir Hardie, Socialist, ex- celled himself in violence of language against Emperor Nicholas and the Russian government. He was called to order by the speaker, who threat- ened to stop the debate unless he withdrew certain objectionable phrases. This Mr. Hardie finally did. The Labor-Socialist motion con- demning his majesty’s visit to Russia way defeated, 226 votes to 59. SERVIAN PRINCE INVOLVED Sensational Evidence at Trial of Mon- tenegrin Rebels. Cettinje, Montenegro, June 5.—Sen- sational testimony involving Crown Prince George of Servia in a conspir- acy against Montenegro has been given at the trial, which is now pro- ceeding here, of thirty-two prisoners charged with revolutionary activity in connection with the discovery of a stere of bombs in Cettinje last year. Two of the witnesses declared -that the bombs in question had been man- ufactured by Servian artillery officers on the diréct order of Prince George, the intention being to use them against the Montenegro government with tha ohiact of overthrowing the existing regime. This sworn testimony has aroused the greatest excitement here and the rupture of diplomatic relations be- tween Montenegro and Servia is ex- ‘pected as a result. The Servian min- ister here admits that in view of thése alleged revelations his further stay in Cettinje is impossible. The crown prince of Servia Is an irresponsible and wild young man, whose escapades and mishehavior have attracted much unfavorable com- ment in Southeastern Europe. POSTAL RATE REDUCTION. Germany Interested in Anglo-Amer- ican Agreement. Berlin, June 6.—The deepest public interest has been manifésted in the announcement of the approaching re- duction in'the postage rates between the United States and Great Britain to 2 cents an ounce. A high official of the German postoffice was questioned regarding the possibility of extending this reduction to Germany. He ex- pressed himself as in favor of the idea, but he pointed out the finamcial diffi- culties from which both the United States and Germany would suffer should such a reduction with Ger- many be carried out. Pearling Fleet Destroyed. Victoria, B. C., June 5—The Cana- dian-Australian liner Manuka has ar- rived here bringing news of the de- struction of the pearling fleet in a typhoon off West Australia, involving the loss of forty luggers and 270 lives, twenty being whites. The disaster to the flest of pearling luggers occurred near Thursday island, a typhoon strik- ing the fleet just as it was starting for the pearling grounds, scattering the vessels, completely wrecking some and driving others ashore.

St. Paul, June 4.—The Mississippi river is 15.8 feet above low water tlon, on record. A further rise will render hundreds of families on the levee homeless. The locks of the government dam above this city may have to be opened to save it. This would wipe out the shacks on the upper levee by causing a further rise of two feet in St. Paul. Heavy rains are reported from Northern Minnesota, which are likely to swell tributary streams. South Dakota Boys Drowned. Sioux Falls, S.
