STARE The Hervald-Review, | By E. Kiley. GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA. The United States Supreme Court to the pools: “Dry up!” = A child carries its new found happi- ness to the one it loves best. Too many members of the Kentucky legislature up and die at critical times. The New York newspapers need sense or something like it worse than they need censors, When a gir!’s heart thumps and pal- pitates and her face burns, it does not need an M. D. to diagnose her case. Since everybody seems to be in fa- vor of using convict labor in improv- ing the public highways why isn’t it done? Mr. Cleveland will be at liberty to shoot ducks anywhere in the purlieus of Princeton, but he must not camp on the campus. While our senate was busily engaged in rejecting the arbitration treaty Eng- Jand’s Camperdown was shelling Chris- Gian insurgents struggling for liberty. Lots are to be offered the unemploy- ed of Philadelphia for the cultivation of vegetables. The Pingree idea grows with every new crop of urban pota- toes. The valued Washington Post thinks putting sausage on the free list would be protection to the American dog. Would putting ham on the free list %e protection to the American actor? A very wealthy man of New York recently said that the sacrifices made by capitalists in recent years in order that their employes might not suffer hardship would amount in the aggre- gate to an enormous sum. A manu- facturing concern with which he is as- sociated, he said, has suffered to the extent of a little more than one hun- dred thousand dollars from the deter- mination of himself and his associates to keep their workingmen employed. Miss Shillaber, of Boston, following the example of many others in the field of literature, is about to go upon the platform with reminiscences of her father’s life and readings from his writ- ings. Such a venture should be a great success, for there are many who remem- ber with affectionate pleasure the say- ings of Mrs. Partington, the delightful American Mrs. Malprop, which Mr. B. P. Shillaber created. Mrs. Partington’s humor was delightfully refreshing and the reader soon learned to love her for her goodness of heart as well as for her solecisms. While Mr, Shillaber’s fame grew out of his creation of M Part- ington, he was a writer of stories which pleased the readers of a generation ago h their quiet sketches of character, rr pathos, and their pure and elevat- ed tone. United States Consul Norris, at Ghent, has reported an interesting fact to the State Department regarding the manufacture of incandescent iamps. It is that the most expensive product in the world is the charcoal thread em- ployec in the lamps to furnish the light. This will be interesting news to the people who use electric light night- ly without being cognizant of such a proximity of wealth. It is, for the most part, manufactured at Paris and comes from the hands of an artist. This product is sold at wholesale by the gramme, and, reducing this price to the basis of pounds, it is easily found that the filaments for lamps of twenty candle-power are worth $8,000 per pound, and for the lamps of thirty candle-power the fabulous sum of $12,- 000 per pound. The former have a diameter of twenty-thousandths of one millimeter, or 7,874-ten-millionths, and the latter less than one-fifth of this 8:Ze. Secretary Sherman has sent to the Senate a note received from Mr. Botas- si, Consui General of Greece at New York, transmitting a cablegram from the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, in acknowledgment of the resolution agreed to by the Senate before the ex- piration of the last session, expressing sympathy with the Cretan reyolution- ists. The cablegram is as follows: “To the United States Senate: The warm thanks of the Greek nation, as well as of the government of Greece, are due for the expression of its sym- pathies, which are a most valuable as- sistance to us, toward the accomplish- ment of our national aspirations.” The Consul General adds on his own be- half that the resolution has made a most favorable impression on the Greeks in the United States, “who, while enjoying the blessings of liberty in this country, under her liberal laws, are in hearty sympathy with their motherland in her efforts to free their oppressed brethren,” pate Es Sd The money that maintains a gamb- ling house is literally the “price of blood.” During the last eleven years more than eight thousand persons are known to have committed suicide in consequence of losses sustained at the fatal tables of Monte Carlo, ‘ __ Uncle Dana thus coyly expresses a Barkis-like willingness in his Evening Sun: “There are a great many candi- dates for mayor of the Greater New York. This is natural. The place is worth a try. Who wouldn’t if he could?” THE NEWS RESUME DIGEST OF THE NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.

Over Three Hundred Fuzmilies in Ottumwa Compelled to Make SHOCKING DEED CONFESSED. Marder of the Spicer Family in North Dakota, Bismarck, N. D., April 27,—Several confessions have been made by sus- pects under arrest regarding the mur- der of the Spicer family: at Winona, N. D., and from Fort Yates news was received of a full confession by the two Indian boys, Paul Holy Track, Their Escape in Boats — Water aged twenty, and Philip Ireland, aged Higher Than It Has Been in the Last Twenty Years — Railroad Traffic Completely Blocked— Levees Break in Many Places, Ottumwa, Iowa, April 27.—The Des Moines river, which last midnight was stationary at the high water mark es- tablished by the great flood of 1892, suddenly began to climb, and by 8 o'clock had added tifteen inches to the record. The leyees broke in many places, railroad embankments were undermined and hundreds of families were compelled to move. In Ottum- wa over 300 families were compelled to move, a large number making their escape in boats, At Eddyville, eigh- teen miles north of this ¢ 100 fam- ilies vacated their domiciles, and the principal streets are being navigated in row boats. At South Ottumwa the river flows parallel with the main street. It broke across this street and poured down ihe residence and busi- ness strests, causing a panic and a scramble for higher ground. Five thousand people reside in this suburb. The water stands four feet deep in Fairview. A large reservoir situated at the summit of Court hill is the source of considerable fear. The re- cent downpour has swollen the sources of supply and the reservoir is so full that it threatens to burst and flood the populous districts just below. Al- though the railroad companies have made strenuous efforts to save their property traffic is almost at a stand- still. All the small streams in South- ern Iowa are out of their banks. Rail- road bridges are gone and travel by highway is out of the question. Work on the levees before this city have been progressing since last Fri- day, but a sudden rise destroyed a great part of the labors. Large forces are employed in an endeavor to pre- vent further breaks. The suburbs have so far been the worst sufferers aside from the railroads. West Ot- tumwa, a large residence section, is entirely flooded and the water is still rising. The inhabitants cling to their homes, however, hoping that the worst is over. Rich farming lands above and below the city are inundated. The flood there has not reached a high stage but has spread out in many places to a width of five or six miles. No loss of life has been reported ‘but the damaze to property.is very large. pated Oa ISSISSIPP{. Rivers Rapidly Rising and Railroad Operations Will Soon Be Blocked.

Lake Providence, La., April 27. —A second’ break took pla in the Prom- ised Land levee about 500 feet above the first one. The levee ,between the two breaks went in shortly after and the break is now about 1,000 feet wide. Workmen are now making a bulkhead to protect the upper end of the levee.

Rushford, Minn., April 27.-The new city council granted saloon licenses for the ensuing year at $1,300 each. Last year Iushford had but two saloons. seventeen, both full-blooded Sioux. In the last confession, which seems to be sustained by every circumstance sur- rounding the crime, the boys say that they committeed the murders, unas- sisted, and eompletely exonerate Black Hawk and Caddotte. The confession explains in detail the fiendish massa- cre of a family of six, comprising four generations — great grandmother, grandmother, mother and the twin babies—and shows the crime to have been premeditated and one of the most heartless and cold-blooded ever com- mitted in the West. The confession was taken by a stenographer and has been sworn to by both the Indians. FOUR NEW CAPTAINS. New Military Code Results in Pro. motions. St. Paul, April 27.—Adjt. Gen.

Those issued by EXCITED H&LLENES 3 The Recall of the Crown Prince's Staf Has Been Decided Upon— Great Dissatisfaction With the Ministry Owing to Their Manage~ ment of the War—Prince Constan- tine Reported to Have Filed. REVOLUTIONARY FEELING Is PLAYED AT ATHENS. London, April 27.—The most serious feature in the Greco-Turkish emer- gency is the revolutionary feeling dis- played at Athens. Ex-Minister Ralli, Jeader of the principal opposition group in the legislative assembly, threatened that unless the military staff was changed he would issue @ proclamation to the people. His state- ments acted like oil upon fire, and the popular excitement has flared up. Crowds assembled in the streets to discuss them and wanted to march to the palace to read them to King George. Fortunately heavy showers drove the people indoors. M. Delyan- ris, keenly alive to the necessity of immediate action, had an audience with tie king, and after the interview announced that the staff of the crown prince would be recalled, and that ex- Minister Ralli, with three of bis nomi- nees, ‘Gan. Smolens Gen. Mavroi- caali and Col. Dimoypeuli, would be ap- pointed to replace them. M. Ralli, in a published interview, says: “The moment Constantine arrived at the seat of war the sole thought of the re- sponsible commanders was not to at- ick oz withstand the Turks, but to ct a safe retreat if necessary. All créers emanated from the palace. any cne else were ig- spatches were sent to ali, he was not where he was supposed to be, having been moved on by superior orders.” M- Ralli attended the council at the pal- ace. The Daily Telegraph's Athens corresponlent 6: “All of M. Rallis conditions have been accepted. ‘The king gives carte blanche to his minis- ters. As the public begins to learn the truth anger against the palace party increases, and a feeling of hostility igainst M. Delyanni: steadily grow- ing. Crowds are parading menacing- ly in the vicinity of the palace. It is reported on good authority that ar- rangements are being made to enable the royal family to leave the country hastily in case of necessity. People had generally credited the rumors that the crown prince would be recalled and that the government was willing to consider peace overturcs. It is impos- sible to say what will happen when it is known that the war is to be con- tinued and the crown prince retained: in command.” rored. Gen. GREEKS’ DISCOMFEITURE.. Narrowly Escaped a Crushing De- feat at Larissa. London, April 27.—The dispatches of the special correspondents consist of the s' Iditional details of the x omtiture. The Turk- ish plans are not yet revealed. There ordered the re before the Gr bandoned Larissa, but damage could not be done beyond what could easily be repaired by the Turks. It seems equally certain that the Greeks only escaped a crushing de- feat with returning daylight by pre- cipitate fiight. The news from Epirus is conflicting. It seems certain that the Turks have occupied Pentepigadia, and it is not improbable that the Greeks have retreated to Arta, show- ing that the Tu allowed them to advance to Pentepigadia solely in or- der to destroy the column. Sg Welcomed the Tarks. Washington, April 27.—The Turkish legation has received the following atch from Constantinople: In fieeing from Larissa the Hellenes re- Jeased the convicts, who committed acts of destruction and pillaging.

After the audience a cabinet council was hel@ and is still sitting at this writing. It is expected that energetic decisions wilk be arrived at, but all reports as to the recalling of staff officers are prema- ture.” 3 igh Occupied by Greeks, Athens, April 27. — The latest dis- patches here show that the Greeks have occupied all the position around Pentepigadia. Col Manos has asked for reinforcements in order to insure his advance to Janina. Col. Dairak- taris has started with 2,000 men to as- sist him. ‘The report that Cel. Manos. had been ordered to retire is un- founded. i om Greek Defense of Pharsala.
