Rerald-Review. By C. E. KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. Walls have ears and plants can see. Exchanges of confidence should be up in the air. “The automobile has come to stay,” remarks an enthusiast. We thought it had come to go. So, there is no revolution in Colom- bia? Oh, well, let the item stand. It will do for to-morrow. There may be a lot of money inj; iterature, but the average writer finds t difficult to get it out. But if every man were as big as he feels there would be standing room only in the United States. “Why is man born with the closed fists” asks the Talmud. We can im- agine John L. Sullivan’s reply. A London doctor says death is a bad habit. And, unlike many other bad hab: it is almost always fatal. Sing Sing penitentiary is to be moved nearer to New York city. The desire to save time is becoming almost & mania. The new king of Denmark greatly ires the Americans. He is evi- a wise and discriminating It would be an awful blow to King Alfonso now if the Princess Ena ould decide that after all she can- ove him. srmont has fourteen citizens who » formerly governors of the state, most of them have succeeded in g it down. There is a distressing rumor that Harry Lehr has been trying to do things in Wall street, and his wife has limited his pin money. A country banker on his way to Wall street to invest $48,000 was relieved of his roll by other confidence men, who met him on the train. There’s one consolation, if you do not have a bank account. No swin- dler can mulet you by forging your signature to worthless checks. A league has been formed in Paris to promote the cause of upright writ- ». The time may come when Paris lso think of upright living. What a calamity it would be if the New York state house should fall down just when all the lobbyists were assembled, holding a convention. Another odd showing by the statis- ties experts is that it is mainly the get divorces. The poor along, or do without them. who rich s, according to a scientist, can and, perhaps, also hear. It is for- te that they cannot speak, for of the secrets they might re- s report that New York society pay $25,000 for their trous- is misleading. Some of them and pare the cost down to $10,000. President Fallieres has been in the imelight for a long time now, and he only accusation that has been made against him is that he used to rite poetry. 4 beautiful harmony and unity of se was revealed by the Algeciras utes on the question of imposing x on Morocco. In fact, only the cans objected. According to the Philadelphia In- quirer, Boston is to hear Ibsen’s plays ‘in the original Russian.” Boston ought to send Philadelphia a little Em- erson in the original Chinese. According to reports from Cornell university the peach crop is doomed to failure by the warm weather. Cold or warm, the peach trees are always in the “view with alarm” class. People who think Boni de Castel- Jane ought to have been satisfied to be good with all that money forget what it was Boni wanted the money for. It doesn’t cost anything to be good. Somebody ought to make a book re- jating the unhappy experiences of rich American girls who have married for- eign titles. It ought to be worth $100 a copy to American heiresses who are yet unmarried. School strikes are occurring in Japan. It is well to be as progressive as the most advanced parts of the West, but really some of our up-to- date things we do not hold up for ad- miration and imitation. — The late King Christian of Denmark left a very small estate—hardly a rter of a million. The Russian grand dukes and the princes of the graft business the world over must be staggered by so gross a neglect of opportunity. Servia wants to go to.war with Austria. Some Sioux tried to stop an engine on the plains once, by holding a lariat across the track when the sixty mile clip. Servia should read that page of American history. | BATTLESHIP OHIO GOES 10 CHINA ORDERED FROM PHILIPPINE WATERS TO COAST OF CHINA. IS SEETHING WITH REVOLT MOVEMENT AGAINST DYNASTY IS GROWING BOLDER ALL THE TIME. Manila, Feb. 28. — The battleship Ohio, flagship of the American fleet on the Asiatic station, will leave in a few days for the China cosat. A leading American firm in this city has received the following cable from Canton: “The boycott has greatly encour- aged the anti-foreign feeling. Teach- ers, reformers, agitators and the na- tive newspapers now have the power of that association beaind them, caus- ing a remarkable growth in the re- form party and secret societies, while the anti-foreign, anti-dynastic viceroy of Canton, by his autocratic ruling and his antagonistic attitude to the for- eign consuls, encourages the masses of the people in their anti-foreign feel- ing. Pekin Approves Outrages. “In the prefecture of Chang Chew, near Amoy, recent outrages against foreign church procedure, approved by Pekin, have strengthened the revolu- tionary forces, who are now exger to try conclusions with the govc-ument. In a portion of China, between the Yangtsze valley and the Hongkong district, a dangerous anti-foreign feel- ing exists, which is likely to break out at any moment.” The federal troops here are prepar- ing against the pending outbreak. Britain Takes No Action. London, Feb. 28.—The foreign office is taking no formal action in the mat- ter of the Chinese massacres. The secretary of the China inland mission, the leading British society, stated that his society here is making no repre- sentation to the British government, because the Chinese authorities have given them special assurance that they were taking all possible steps to stop massacres. America Must Take Notice. The Pall Mall Gazette contends that the affair is one of which France and the United States must take serious notice, for the six Jesuits and two Protestants were respectively. French and American citizens. The paper adds: “The cry of China for ithe Chinese is a reality, with which Western pow- ers will have to reckon eventually. The latest massacre, coming so soon after the murder of American mission- aries at Lienchau, suggesis something more than a local outburst of Chinese fanaticism.” Americans Are Safe. Pekin, Feb. 28.—American Consul General Rodgers telegraphs from Shanghai that the fourteen American missionaries who fled from Nancheng all reached Kiukiang in safety. The gunboat El Cano is proceeding from Nanking to the scene of the trouble. FIX SOFT COAL SCALE FIRST. Negotiations With Anthracite Opera- tors Suspended for Time. New York, Feb. 28.—Pending a set- tlement of the controversy between the soft coal operators and miners in which President Roosevelt has taken a hand, the negotiations with the an- thracite operators have apparently been suspended. No meeting between the anthracite operators, subcommit- tee and miners’ subcommittee will take place as has been announced and no other date of meeting has been yet arranged. It is believed by the ope- raters that President Mitchell prob- ably will allow the anthracite question to await a settlement of the bitumin- ous controversy and that his demands may be affected by the settlement se- cured in the soft coal fields. No let- ter from President Roosevelt has been received by the hard coal operators. ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY. Wisconsin Man Taken With Secend Wife in Chicago. Chicago, Feb. 28—Edward T. Glegg, a wealthy real estate dealer of Anti- go, Wis., was arrested here last night in his apartments at the Lexington hotel on a warrant charging him with bigamy. With him at the time was the woman who is said to be Wife No. 2. She was formerly Miss Jessie A. Woodruff, daughter of an Bpiscopal minister of Summer, Iowa. Clegg, ac- cording to the police, deserted his first wife and three children in Wis- consin last October, and later wooed and won Miss Woodruff at her home in Iowa. EX-CONGRESSMAN ROBBED. Railroad Bonds Worth $100,000 Are Abstracted From Suit Case. Altoona, Pa., Feb. 28.—A suitcase containing two bonds, Nos. 157 and 158, of the Central Railroad of Penn- sylvania, each for $50,000, and be- longing to ex-Congressman James Kerr, the Clearfield coal operator, was stolen recently from a Pennsylvania railroad train. Detectives located the ing house of Charles Gatto, an Italian, at Retort. Gatto was arrested. THEIR EARNINGS — INCREASED RAILROADS. IN. MINNESOTA SHOW INCREASE OF OVER TEN MILLIONS. St. Paul, Feb. 28.—An increase of over ten millions in the gross earnings of the railroads in this state over the earnings for 1904 is shown by the sum- mary of the annual reports for 1905. Partly on this account, but especially on account of the change from a 3 to a 4 per cent gross earnings tax the state taxes have increased over a million. The taxes for the year end- ing Dec. 31, 1905, at 4 per cent amount to $3,015,676.94. Of this amount all has been paid in except $145,717.01. The tax now collected amounts to $2,959,959.93. A year ago the tax was $1,911,707.69, and for 1903 it amounted to $1,971,662.67. The increase over 1904 is $1,048,252.24. The increase over 1903 is $983,337.26. The increase in the earnings amounts to $10,742,- 696.71. This includes only earnings on business done in the state and not earnings outside the state by railroads doing business in the state. Almost all the roads show a large increase. EXTRA SESSION IS NOT NEEDED. Funds Are Found to Be Available for State Institutions. St. Paul, Feb. 28.—A happy solution of the problem of providing for the institutions whose standing oppropria- tions were cut off by the new code was reached yesterday at a conference of the state officials, and a special ses-| sion of the legislature was averted. The attorney general yesterday held that while the new code will cut off the $502,000 next August, it would not take away the standing appropriation given last August. By that solution the institutions will get as much as was intended for them for use up to the end of the fiiscal year, July 31. For the fiiscal year, beginning Aug. 1, they will have the annual appropria- tion of $642,000, but not the standing appropriation of $502,000. This will be enough to carry the institutions through the five months until the leg- islature meets. HAS WONDERFUL ESCAPE. Brakeman ts Dragged by Cars Instead of Being Run Over. Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 28.—Geo. Rahscka, a brakeman, had a miracu- lous escape from death at Noyes, a small station between Emerson and St. Vincent. Rahscka was switching in the yards and in some manner his foot became fastened in a frog. Be- fore he could extricate it a switch en- gine backed a string of cars onto him. In some manner the wheels Wid not pass over the foot, but caught it and pulled it along, dragging the brake- man for 100 feet before he was dis- covered by the engineer. His shoe, overshoe and sock were chewed to pieces and his foot slightly scratched, but not a bone was broken and he re- ceived no serious injury. ARM CHOPPED BY BROTHER. Montana Lad’s Fall From Stilts Has Serious Results. Belgrade, Mont., Feb. 28. — The eleven-year-old son of E. G. Williams met with a peculiar accident, which may cost him his right arm. The boy was walking on stilts in the yard where an older brother was engaged in chopping wood. The boy on the stilts tripped and fell, his arm being thrown across the chopping block just as the ax descended. The arm was almost severed and phy are doubtful of being able to from amputation. FLUTE IS CONVICTED. Murderer Is Sentenced to Prison for Life. Sisseton, S. D., Feb. 28—The jury in the Flute murder case returned a verdict of murder in the first degree and sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment. The verdict meets with general approval. The case will go to the supreme court on a plea of errors and also on the question of prejudice by reason of being com: pelled to select ten jurors in the ab- sence of Assistant State’s Attorney Murphy, who appeared in the case af ter these ten jurors had been selected. LIMELIGHT 1S TURNED ON. Wisconsin Insurance Investigation Is Begun at Madison. Madison, Wis., Feb. 28.—The legis- lative committee investigating life in- surance in this state is examining the first witness, all the preliminary worl having been accomplished. The be- ginning is being made on the small Madison company, the Wisconsin Life. and later the large Wisconsin com- pany, the Northwestern Mutual Life of Milwaukee, will be subjected to the probe. ROCK FALLS; KILLS MINER. ‘ Next to Last Blast Before Day’s Work Ends Is Fatal. Lead, S. D., Feb. 28—George Long, in the employ of the Homestake Min- ing company, met his death as a re- sult of falling rock.

One shot went off, and Long went back to ignite the oth- fron horse came bowling along at aj case, minus the bonds, at the board- | er fuse when ke was caught under a mass of falling rock. He lived for , Several hours after the accident. RUSSIA IN ROLE OF PEACEMAKER USING HER INFLUENCE AT BER- LIN TO PREVENT WAR WITH FRANCE, BOTH SIDES ARE STUBBORN FRANCE WILL MAKE NO MORE CONCESSIONS UNTiL GER- MANY RELENTS. London, Feb. 28.—The report from Berlin that Germany has expressed her willingness to make concessions on the Moroccan situation if France will yield something, and the an- nouncement from St. Petersburg that Russia is using her influenc> at Ber- lin to prevent a rupture between Ger- many and France at Algeciras, gave Great Britain a ray of hope that the conference might still succeed in set- tling the police and bank questions. These hopes, however, are not strong. “It must be remembered,” said an official, “that France made conces- sions before the conference ment and has continued to do so since. Now Germany, which heretofore has re- fused to withdraw a single step, says she is prepared to give way ou some points if France yields something. It is difficuit to see what further France can concede.” German Press Hopeful. Berlin, Feb. 28—The Sued Deutsche Reichs Correspondenz of Karlsruhe, which has the reputation of being the purveyor of Chancellor von Buelow’s views on joveign politics, maintains a much more hopeful attitude relative to the Algeciras conference than the latest utterances of the French press. The Correspondenz deprecates the as- sertion that the conference is about to disband because of a hopeless dis- agreement. Russia Seeks Peace. St. Petersburg. Feb. 28.—Russia is using all her influences at Berlin to prevent. a rupture between France and Germany. Her action has been taken at the instance of Paris, where the Rouvier government is apparently convinced that Germany proposes to persist in her attitude even to the point of provoking war. On account of the close relations existing be- tween the courts of Berlin and St. Petersburg it is believed in France that Russia will lave more influence upon Emperor William than any other power. Favor Concessions. Earnest representations in favor of concessions to insure avoidance of an appeal to arms were accordingly be- ing made, to which Germany replied that she had no desire to provoke war. Nevertheless she gave no indication that she proposed to modify her atti- tude and Russia’s latest advices from Algeciras indicate that practically all hope of an agreement has been aban- doned. Although Count Cassini head of the Russian mission, reports that the conference will be fruitless, he expresses a decided opinion that hos- tilities will not result. REV. WARE GETS ONE YEAR. Also a Fine of $1,000, But He Will Ap- peal Case. Omaha, Feb. 28.—Judge Munger in the United States district court yes- terday morning overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of Rev. George E. Ware of Lead, S. D., pres- ident of the U. B. I. Cattle company, recently convicted of conspiracy to de- fraud the government by means of illegal homestead entries.

Chicago, Feb. 28—Evidence was in- troduced by the government yesterday tending to show that the matter of tes- tifying under oath during the investi- gation conducted by Commissioner Garfield had been left to the packers themselves. It was claimed by Dis- trict Attorney Morrison that this proved that the packers were not un- der compulsion when they gave their information to the agents of the gov- ernment. The evidence was submitted in the shape of a telegram from Special Agent Durand to Commissioner Gar- field in which it was said that ‘A. H. Veeder, counsel for Swift & Co., and himself now under indictment in con- nection with the case, had advised the members of the firm not to give evidence under oath, as it might later be used against them. The examination of Commissioner Garfield was concluded in the after- noon and Special Agent Durand fol- lowed him. The greater part of Mr. Durand’s evidence :clated to the let- ters that had passec between him and Mr. Garfield. KAISER’S SON IS MARRIED.

Her condition is peril- ous. Blinding SIX MINERS KILLED. Explosion in Alabama Mine Is Caused by Gas.

RHEUMATIC PAINS Disappear When Dr. Wiilllams’ Pink Pills Purify the Blood and Heal Inflamed Tissues. Rheumatism is a disease of the blood, caused by the failure of the body to cast: off certain poisons. External applica- tions are of use only in securing tempo- rary relief from pain—the cure for rheumatism lies in purifying and en- riching the blood. Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 Sumpter street, Sandy Hill, N.Y., was a sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism from the time she was sixteen. She says: “It first appeared in my knee joints, then in my hips and waist. It became a regular thing that I would be laid uy all winter. The rheumatism affected mostly my hands, hips, feet and shoulders. My hands were all puffed up and my feet became deformed. 1] lost my appetite, couldn’t sleep and sometimes I was compelled to cry out, the pain was so intense. “‘ For several winters I was under the doctor’s care and while his medicine re: lieved the pain for a little while there seemed no prospect for a permanent cure. I was confined to my bed, off and on, for weeks at a time. My limbs swelled dreadfully at times and I war reduced almost to nothing. _‘‘In the spring of 1904, upon the ad- vice of a friend, I began to use Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. At that time I wasn’t able to do anything and could barely eat enough to keep alive. I felt a change for the better in about a month. I began to eat heartily and I suffered less pain. Of course I kept on the treatment, using care in my diet, and in about three months I was cured. I am entirely well today and do all my own work.’? Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured Mrs. Brown by driving the rheumatic poisons out of her blood. But you must get the genuine Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, sold by all druggists and by the Dr. Williams. Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Is Called “Loubet II.” M.

Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, ‘safe and sure remedy for infants and children, and see that it Bears the Signature of In Use For Over 30 Years, Tho Kind You Have Always Bought, One More Spot. Chief Justice Fuller was not long ago the guest of a Southern gentleman who had a_ servant named John, famous for his mint julep. Soon after Justice Fuller’s arrival John appeared, bearing a tray, on which was a long. cool glass, topped with crushed ice and a small tree of mint. With low bows and many smiles he presented it, and watchcd anxiously while Judge Fuller appreciatively sipped it. “That touch the right spot, sah?” he queried. “Tt does, John, it does,” the judge re- plied. John disappeared, but was soon re- called by the tinkle of a hand bell. The glass was now empty. The judge looked up with a twinkle in his eye. “T think I’ve got another spot, John.” he said. An Official “Jiner.” The most important person in Fort Hancock, Tex., is George Ross, who holds more public offices, probably, than any man in the country. He is postmaster of the town, receiving his appointment from a Republican ad- ministration, and is a member of the board of county commissioners of the county, having been elected to that office as a Democrat. In addition to those two offices, he is justice of the peace, being elected to that position as an independent candidate. He is also public school trustee for the precinct. FOOD AND STUDY. A College Man’s Experience. “All through my high school course and first year in college,” writes an ambitious young man, “I struggled with my studies on a diet of greasy, pasty foods, being especially fond of cakes and fried things. My system got into a state of general disorder and it was difficult for me to apply myself to school work with any de- gree of satisfaction. I tried different medicines and food preparations, but did not seem able to correct the dif- ficulty. “Then my attention was called to Grape-Nuts food and I sampled it. T had to do something, so I just buck- Jed down to a rigid observance of the directions on the package, and in less than no time began to feel better. In a few weeks my strength was re- stored, my weight had increased, I had a clearer head and felt better in every particular. My work was sim- ply sport to what it was formerly. “My sister’s health was badly run down, and she had become s0 nervous that she could not attend to her music. She went on Grape-Nuts and had the same remarkable experience that I had. Then my brother, Frank. who is in the postoffice department at Washington city and had been try- ing to do brain work on greasy foods, cakes and all that, joined the Grape- Nuts army. I showed him what it was and could do and from a broken- down condition he has developed into a hearty and efficient man. “Besides these I could give account of numbers of my fellow-students who have made visible improvement men- tally and physically by the use of this focd.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
