By C. E. KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. Impregnable fortresses are as rare as fireproof buildings. There are none. PRAT 8 Pa Most anybody can stand being poor; It is having other people sorry for you that makes it so bad. Two blind men who got on a New Year’s spree probably felt immune from “seeing things.” Gen. Nogi’s chief of staff is Gen. Wjichi, a name which suggests a call for some sort of ointment. Alfred Trombetti of Bologna speaks 400 languages. He would be a hard man to best in an argument. The Medical Record asks: “Are the American people growing shorter?” Yes, the cost of living is increasing. It would be a much more progress- ive world if we economized the time we give to other people’s business.— Puck. An inquirer wants to know what sort of necktie a bridegroom should wear at his wedding. A noose, of course. Everybody has about the same quantity of love in stock. The trou- ble is so many devote it entirely to themselyes. eS es A dermatologist is a man who mends faces and a pugilist is a man who breaks them. They ought to form partnership. The Norfolk Landmark tells’ of a turtle twenty-four years old. That is a long time for even a turtle to keep out of the soup. The czar has not answered the let- ter recently addressed to him by Tol- stoi. Perhaps the old man neglected to inclose a stamp. What is called the “smile cure” for dyspepsia probably is nothing more than variation of the old prescrip- tion, “grin and bear it.” Sometimes a man is despised for twenty or thirty years because he is so stingy, and then envied all the rest of his life because he is s0 rich. The Boston Herald asks: “Why not levy a heavy tax on polygamy?” It will strike the average husband of one wife that polygamy itself is a heavy tax. “Don’t work in rooms where there is no fresh air,” says the tuberculosis section of the Visiting Nurses’ asso- ciation. Isn’t it just as bad to be idle in th A Hungarian who lost $118 on a Pullman car after playing his cornet got his just deserts. It is a great pity that he did not lose his horn at the same time. That man who claims he never had a dream, never experienced the ex- quisite pleasure of counting an imagi- nary treasure and spending it all on imaginary pleasures. A Chicago man has been fined $100 for attempting to steal a kiss. It would appear that in addition to being the sweetest, forbidden fruit is also rather expensive in Chicago. A drunken man lying on a railroaa track in New York state had his life saved by the fact that the locomotive headlight gleamed on his bald head. Don’t try to sell hair restorer to that man. A Cincinnati horse has been taught to count. But there is a consolation for the owner in the fact that it can’t talk, or there might be trouble when he tells his wife that he has “only taken one.” Mrs. Brodie L. Duke had been mar- ried twice before, but when Mr. Duke proposed to her after’ but three’ days of acquaintance, she says, she ,was dumfounded. But did she say: “This is so sudden?” A negro named John Suppertonight was badly beaten by another negro named Jones, in New York recently. Probably Jones was hungry and Sup- pertonight would not allow him to in- dulge his appetite. The writer of an esteemed contem- porary who describes a visiting Eng- lish nobleman as “the scum of an an- cient family” may be eyen worse than his coarse language séems to imply; he may have written “scion.” Another great thinker has come to the front with a theory as to the for- bidden fruit eaten by Mother Eve. He says it was a crab apple. This lets down all the bars. Anybody may en- ter into the competition now. Suggestion’ asserts that thousands of persons think. themselves to death every year. But don’t Jet that lead you to let others do your thinking. The magazine was merely treating of those whose minds dwell on morbid subjects. Mr. Hart McKee’s wife secured a divorce from him on Monday. He married Mrs. Tevis on Wednesdey. Mr. McKee’s strict regard for the us- ages of polite society was the reason that impelled him not to marry on Tuesday.—New York American. vu SENATE AFTER LONG DISCUS- SION PASSES THE JOINT STATEHOOD. BILL. OKLAHOMA AND NEW MEXICO INDIAN TERRITORY ADDED TO OKLAHOMA AND ‘ARIZONA ELIMINATED. CUTS OUT THE SALE OF BOOZE NO LIQUOR CAN BE SOLD IN OK- LAHOMA FOR PERIOD OF TWENTY-ONE YEARS. Washington, Feb. 8. — After a con- tinuous sitting of alinost nine hours the senate at 8:45 o’clock last night passed the joint statehood pill. As passed the bill provides for the ad- mission of the States of Oklahoma, to be composed of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, and New Mexico, according to the present boundaries, with Ari- zona eliminated. The long session was characterized by exciting inci- dents and many surprises. Beginning promptly upon the convening at 12 o'clock the senate proceeded to con- sider the various amendments which had been suggested by the committee on territories, and which had been passed over. One of the first of these taken up was the amendment prohib- iting the sale of intoxicating liquors in what is now Indian Territory for the next ten years, and this was dis- placed by a substitute offered by Mr. Gallinger which extended the amend- ment to the entire state for a period of twenty-one years, and this was adopted. b The first surprise of the day came when the committee accepted Mr. Foraker’s amendment providing for a separate vote by each of the terri- tories of New Mexico and Arizona on the constitution to be adopted by the proposed state of Arizona. That pro- vision had scarcely been made a part of the bill when Mr. Bard presented his amendment which had been orig- inally offered by Mr. Patterson and which provided for the admission of New Mexico as a state without the addition of Arizona. This amend- ment proved to be the point around which all the subsequent proceedings of importance revolved. It was at- first adopted by the close vote of 42 to 40. This vote was taken while the senate was sitting in committee of the whole and was reversed in the senate proper by the tie vote of 38 to 38. Subsequently the senate decided by a vote of 38 to 36 to entirely eliminate New Mexico and Arizona from the bill, and this result had hard- ly been announced when Mr. Bard, in slightly changed form, renewed his proposition for the admission of New Mexico as a state, and this time the amendment prevailed by a vote of 40 to 37. One of the affirmative votes was, however, cast by Mr. Beveridge, in charge of the bill, for the purpose of moving a_ reconsideration of the vote. He was prompt in entering this motion as soon as the result was announced, but the motion was laid upon the table by a.vote of 39 to 38. The effect was to eliminate Arizona from the bill and to make one state of New Mexico and another out of Okla- homa and Indian Territory. In this form the bill passed. The bill orig- inated in the house and will go to con- ference. The feature of the debate in the house yesterday on the freight rate pill was the speech of Mr. McCall of Massachusetts, who, ‘in opposing the proposed legislation, declared that it was not to be imagined that the su- preme court would stand between the government and its victim, following that utterance with the statement that the courts usually reflected the policy of the party in power. The views of the speakers as to legislation needed were many and varied, but with the exception of Mr. McCall and Mr. Sib- ley of Pennsylvania, all were agreed that the time had arrived for the granting of relief. Te SENATOR MITCHELL INDORSED Oregon Senate Passes a Resolution of Confidence. Salem, Or., Feb. 8—The state sen- ate. with one dissenting vote, yester- day adopted a concurrent resolution expressing confidence in United States Senator John H.

Guilty of Murder. Calumet, Mich., Feb. 8. — John Kangas was found guilty of murder in the second degree at last week’s ses- sion of the Ontonagon circuit court. Kangas was charged with the murder of Gus Pertunen. Latest Returns on Multi-Bigamist’s _ Matrimonial Ventures. Chicago, Feb. 8.—Mrs. M. Rencken- Dormke-Werneke-Hock of this city, one of the many wives of Johann Hock, the alleged multi-bigamist, was herself yesterday confronted with proof that she had committed bigamy when she became the wife of Hock. Mrs. Rencken has maintained that she never married Hock, and that at the time of the supposed wedding she was the wife of Herman Dormke. When confronted with the proof Mrs. Renck- en admitted that the story of her mar- riage was true. She said, however, that she had lived with Hock only a few days; that he, had placed a re- | volver to her breast and threatened to kill ‘her if she did not give him her money. The police now claim to have evidence which shows that Hock was married forty-four times. TO SUE PLATT AGAIN. Miss Wood Retains Counsel to Push Breach of Promise Action. Richmond, Va., Feb. 8.— A_ well known legal figzm here has been em- ployed by Miss Mae C. Wood to bring action against United States Senator Thomas C. Platt of New York, alleging breach of promise. Several prominent New York men and government of- ficials are said to be involved. Their names have not been divulged. Miss Mae C. Wood left Omaha, where she was a lawyer, for Washington, to be- come a clerk in the money order di- vision of the postoffice department. She is thirty-seven years old and ex- tremely attractive. When Senator Platt married Mrs. Lillian Janeway Miss Wood threatened to make trouble, and a $25,000 damage suit against the senator for breach of promise was instituted in her name. Later Senator Platt declared that the suit had been settled, while Miss Wood in an interview denied that such was the case. DEATH COMES TO MANLEY. Former Republican Leader Is Found Dead in His Home. Augusta, Me., Feb. 8. — Joseph H. Manley, former chairman of the na- tional executive committee of the Re- publican party, died suddenly at his home here yesterday. Mr. Manley was sixty-two years of age. He had not been in good health for several years, but his death was not considered im- minent. He was found dead lying on his bed by members of his family. Mr. Manley was, in 1894, chosen chair- man of thé executive committee of the national Republican committee. As private secretary to the late James G. Blaine during the most important part of the career of Mr. Blaine at Wash- ington, and as the manager of Mr. Blaine’s campaign for president, Mr. Manley became one of the best know: men in the Republican party. WRIGHT’S TITLE CHANGED. He Becomes First American Governor General of the Philippines.

HOLBROOK LOSES GEMS. Wife of Wealthy Minneapolis Lumber- man Robbed in San Francisco. San Francisco, Feb. 8—E. M. Hol- brook, a wealthy lumberman of Min- neapolis, who, accompanied by his wife, has been spending some weeks in this city, started for home yester- day. When about to board the over- land train, Mrs. Holbrook discovered that a casket containing jewels val- ued at $8,000 had disappeared on the way from the hotel to the railroad. The travelers placed the matter in the hands of the police, but so far the de- tectives have not succeeded in finding the slightest clue tothe missing gems. GRAFTERS GO T9 THE PEN.

Slocum disaster. One of the bills permits au- tomobiles to go.aboard and ashore from ferryboats der their own power. IN FINLAND REIGN. OF TERROR WITH’ SERIES OF POLITICAL MURDERS FEARED. OVER SCORE OF POLES KILLED EVENTS IN POLAND AND THE CAUCASUS ARE VERY. SERIOUS. SLAV “REDS” ARE BOLDER THREAT OF ARMED ATTACK ON THE PALACE OF THE EMPEROR. St. Petersburg, Feb. 8. — For the moment the startling crime in Hel- singfors has withdrawn attention from the strike situation throughout Rus- sia. A reign of terror, with a series of political murders, is feared. Yester- day’s events in Poland the the Cau- casus, however, are quite serious enough in themselves. Disorders in the smaller industrial towns of Pol- and have added more than a score to the total of the killed, and troops have been sent to Warsaw and Kutno (eighty-five miles west of Warsaw) to quell uprisings there. The trike con- ditions in the Caucasus Are Becoming Worse, and traffic on the transcaucasian rail- way is interrupted. The men employed in three St. Pe- tersburg factories threatened to walk out yesterday but the grievance in this instance, which was over strike pay, was settled at a conference. A large nail factory in the Ostroff section was burned yesterday and re- ports. of incendiarism were ¢urrent, but they appear to have been based on presumption rather than proof. The central committee of the Rus- sian Social Democratic Workmen’s party has issued a violent proclama- tton which has been widely circulated in the factories of St. Petersburg, calling on the operatives to array themselves A Under the Red Flag of the Social Democracy and prepare for an armed renewal of the January demonstrations. The proclamation bitterly assails church and state and the higher classés, and concludes: “ “In order to gain victory we must Sorganize a vast workmen’s army. “Then again will we start for the pal- ace to present our demands, not with- out weapons, not with ikons and not with supplications, but with arms in our hands under the blood red stand- ard of the Russian Social Democratic party.” Gopon in Switzerland. Father Gopon, the leader of the workmen of St. Petersburg in the af- fair of Jan. 22, is now known to be in Switzerland. The police have discovered at the residence of Municipal Councillor Ke- drine, one of those who was arrested with Maxim Gorky, after the attempt to interview Minister of the Interior Sviatopolk-Mirsky the night before the collision between the soldiers and workmen in this city, and who is still in St. Peter and St. Paul fortress, the draft of a proclamation inciting the aarmy to revolt. Trepoff to Succeed Mirsky. It is understood that Gov. Gen. Tre- poff is likely to become minister of the interior sbortly, or receive the specially created post of minister of police. MUCH WORSE IN SOUTH. Weather Conditions Worse Than at Any Time Since Storm Began. Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 8. — With a blizzard raging in Texas and rain and sleet falling throughout Louisiana, ppi and Tennessee, weather conditions are decidedly warse than at any time since the present storm began. Thousands of cattle in Texas are reported to be suffering and in many cases totally deprived of water. Telegraphic communication is demor- alized in all sections of the Southwest, and the cities of Shreveport, Baton Rouge and Crowley are completely cut off from wire connection of any kind. Rain is falling in New Orleans, Mobile and Montgomery, accompanied by falling temperature. The city of Natchez, Miss., has been without wire communication since Sunday, and the daily papers are issuing their editions without the usual news from the world at large. The State of Arkansas is in the grasp of one of the worst sleet storms in its history. SUED FOR TEACHING NEGROES. Prosecuted Under Co-Educa- tional Prohibition. Lexington, Ky., Feb. 8, — The first criminal prosecution under the recent- ly adopted bill prohibiting co-educa- tion of races in Kentucky is on at Richmond. The penalty fixed is a $1,000 fine. The college is represent- ed by John G. Carlisle of New York city, Guy Mallon of Cincinnati and Curtis F. Burnam of Richmond. The case will probably go to the supreme court of the United States. ‘ School MUCH ICE IN LAKE ‘SUPERIOR. Field Extends at Least Forty Miles Eastward From Duluth. Duluth, Feb. 8.—The icé field at the head of Lake Superior is of wonderful extent for this time of the winter. No blue water, is in.sight.from Pwo Har- bors. se that the field must extend at miles eastward from Du- The great area of water that is luth. now covered with ice is accounted for as a result of the fact that calm weather prevailed during the recent cold snap. As a rule, the head of Lake Superior does not freeze over solidly enough to withstand the waves until about the last of February. Last winter was another exception, howev- er, but that was an unusually cold season. The*work of harvesting the Duluth ice crop from the lake began yesterday. WEDS HIS NURSE. Iroquois Fire Victim Visited by Cupid While in Hospital. Racine, Wis., Feb. 8—The marriage of William Kranz, president of the Ra- cine Business Men's association, and one of the prominent business men of the cjty, and Mi: Florence Cass of Chicago, his nurse, caused much sur- prise here. The two were married by the Rev. Arthur: Piper of St. Luke’s Episcopal church. Mr. ‘Kranz’s first wife lost her life in the Iroquois fire at Chic: At that tim. Mr. Kranz was terribly burned. He was confined to a hospital in Chicago for many months and Miss Cass and her moth- er nursed him. HAS GRUDGE AGAINST MILES. Daughter of Jefferson Davis Tells How Father Was Persecuted. Colorado Springs, Colo., Feb. 8. — “When Gen. Miles ordered manacles placed upon Jeff Davis it required six men to do it, and my father often said to me it was the bitterest moment in his whole life,” said M A. Hayes, daughter of Jefferson Davis. “At Fortress Monroe, when Miles placed my father in irons. without au- thority of tke government father begged to be shot, instead of being treated like a common felon. I was with my father when he was captured in the woods of Georgia. “Gen. Miles insulted my mother,” said Mrs. Hayes, “and my father, feeble and emaciated as he was, shook the iron gratings of his cell and said to Miles: ‘If I could get at you, I would tear you limb from limb.’ ” BOY IS TOUGH. Released From Reformatory He Chlor- oforms and Robs His Father. New York, Feb. 8—Dr. William H. Upton told the police yesterday that he had been chloroformed and robbed by his son Charles,-aged eighteen, whose release he recently secured ffrom the Elmira reformatory, where the boy ‘had been sent for assaulting and robbing his grandmother.

WILL BE HELD AT MANKATO WITNESSES ORDERED TO AP- PEAR IN COURT ON THE .. DAY NAMED. DENTIST SEEMS CHEERFUL DEFENDANT SAYS HE IS PLEASED WITH ARRANGEMENTS FOR NEXT TRIAL. Mankato, Minn., Feb. 8.—Dr. George R. Koch, the alleged murderer of Dr. L. A. Gebhardt at New Ulm, faced Judge Cray yesterday for the first time, and listened to the proceedings fixing the time for his second trial. The date decided upon was April 19. Dr. Koch made a favorable impres- sion in the court room. He appeared cheeiful and confident. When inter- viewed, he said everything depends on the kind of a jury that will be select- ed; that he was trying to avoid worry over his case, and would continue dil- igently at his work in his office. ‘those who saw Koch at the close of his first trial say that he looks much better now than he did then. He ap- peared to be glad that the second trial is to take place in Mankato, where he has a number of relatives among prominent and tufluential fami- lies. He is at present visiting his uncle, a retired business man. Counsel Agreed on Date. Koch's case was the only one on the criminal calendar and was the first called when court opened. The de- fendant was seated beside his attor- neys, George W. Somerville of Sleepy Eye and W. D. Abbott of Winona, while near by sat the Mankato counsel whom he recently retained, Pfau & Pfau and A. E, Clark. When the was called Gen. H. W. Childs of St. Paul, the only state’s attorney present, arose promptly and informed the court that the counsel for the respective parties would sug- gest that the trial be fixed for a defi- nite date, as for instance, April 19. He said that the counsel on both sides were agreed upon that date. The court said that if that date was satis- factory to the counsel he would set. the trial for April 19, and when the other business of the court was com- pleted he would declare an adjourn- ment until that time. Court Directs Witnesses. Mr. Childs asked the court to direct the witnesses to appear at that time and the court so ordered. Dr. Koch afterward asserted that he was satisfied with the date selected for the commencement of the trial, al- though his manner seemed to indicate that he would have pref€rred an earli~ er date. The wishes of Attorney Som- erville are said to have been consulted in this matter, and the earliest practi- cable day after jhe adjournment of the Jegislature was selected. The defendant will ain in Man- kato for a day or two, visiting his rel- atives, before returning to New Ulm. It id that both the defense and the state have taken steps to ascer- tain not only the sentiments of the petit jurors on the guilt or innocence of the accused, but also are seeking to learn the real feeling of a large number of Other persons who are lia- ble to be called for jury service.
