PETERSBURG, April 15.—The Minister of the Interior, M. Sipiaguine, was shot and fatally wounded at 1 o’clock this afternoon in the lobby of the Ministerial offices by 2 man who held a pistol close to the Minister's person. The wounded man died at 2 p. m.

The Minister was taken to the Hospital Maximilianoviski, where he died in an hour. It was learned later that M. Sipiaguine was on his way to attend a meeting of the Committee of Ministers. He had just entered the office of the Imperial Council when the assassin, who had driven up in a carriage, approached and handed him a folded paper, say- ing he had been charged to deliver it by the Grand Duke Sergius. The Minister stretched out his hand to take the document, when the assassin fired five shots at him.

REDDING, April %—For the fourth time Thomas Kelly’s hotel and saloon at the point at Iron Mountain was burned to the ground at 2 o'clock this morning. The place was deliberately fired, as was the storeroom across the road. The latter was saved. Barkeeper Cornelius J. Mur- phy ran for the cash register and was badly burned about the head and neck by falling brands. The building was fired with a ten-gallon keg containing coal oil, which was de- posited upon the porch and lighted. The Seven small hoops from the keg were found, and the bundle was also seen by John Campbell. Billy Pasco was tending the bar at the time the building burst into flames. He only had time to call Barkeeper Murphy, who was asleep in the basement. Murphy ran upstairs through the smoke and made a dash into the burning barroom. He carried out the register, which contained $12. Nothing else was saved. The fire hose had been cut. The loss is $5500, with no insurance. fiaglm The way Salva-cea cures Plles, Professor for State University. ITHACA, N. Y., April- 15.—Assistant Professor W. O.

Path Through Mdaho Snow Cured by the Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-=Root. Lined With Lifeless Pack Horses. Special Dispatch to The Call. BOISE, Idaho, April 15.—Frank C. Ben- jamin and Joseph J. Venable have re- turned from the Thunder Mountain goid flelds, They were members of a party that went in last fall. They located a number of claims and did considerable work. One group of claims in which they are interested was recently sold for $60,000, spot cash, in Pittsburg. They came out over the trail in five and a half days, being forced to leave the flelds on account of a shortage of provi- sions and the constant demands made upon them by destitute prospectors, who rushed in over the snow trails in the dead of winter. The situation in that respect is decidedly alarming. Benjamin and Ven- able say the trails are in a terrible con- dition now on account of the snow melt- ing. It is highly dangerous to go at this time, and they ?dvlse no one to attempt the trip inside of a month. In fact, they state, it would be impossible to get in enough-provisions to fully supply the de- mand before the middle of June. Thousands of dollars have been expend- —{ ed to get pack animals loaded with pro- visions into the camp, but so far only one outfit has got through. The provisions are sold readily for 75 cents a pound straight through, with the exception of flour, which went for $50 to $80 a sack. “The trails are strewn with dead pack- horses,” said Benjamin. ‘The animals gave out and were shot. People who have rushed to_the gold flelds, in many cases taking only enough provisions on their backs or on sledges, to last them a few weeks, have almost starved and some of them will starve if fresh supplies are not got in soon.” Reports have reached here of men eat- ing horse and mule flesh, but Benjamin and Venable could not confirm this, al- though they said it would not surprise them if such were the case. They say the district is a marvel of richness and that it is an easy mater to take out big wages with ordinary rockers, if a miner is pre- pared to withstand the rigors of the awful climate of this section. The wildness of it is almost impossible to describe. Ground will be broken at once for several large mills and before the next winter sets in they say in the neighborhood of 400 stamps will be dropping there. “We advised every outfit we met to go back,” sald Venable, “but they seemed to think-we were trying to keep them out so as to give our friends who are there an advantage In making locations and they pressed on all the faster. It is simply idiocy to go in there. All the money that can be made by the people unacquainted with the country and the conditions in the next six weeks would not compensate them for the terrible experiences. Stiil, the trails are crowded. We counted more men going in than there were in the camp when we left.” P. Rasch, a prospector, arrived at Wei- ser this evening from Thunder Mountain, He reports a discovery on the very sum- mit of Rainbow Mountain. At a point ‘where the snow had been blown off he dug gold in ledges in the crevices of the rock. He panned a lot of it. It averaged $150 a pan. He made locations and left to get provisions. He brought gold with him, also boulder-like quartz that is thickly set with gold. e —_—— LACONIA, Iowa, April 15.—Rev.

We make the clothes ourselves—we know them. We sell them direct to you, the wearer. From maker to wearer means but one profit.

The President desires to know in the fullest and most circumstantial manner all the facts, nothing being cencealed and no man being for | any reason favored or shielded. For the very reason that the President intends to back up the army in the heartiest fashion in every law- ful and legitimate method of doing its work, he also intends to see that the most Tigorous care is exercised to detect and prevent any cruelty or brutality and that men who are guilty there- of are punished. Great as the provocation has been in deal- ing with foes who habitually resort to treach- ery, murder and torture against our men, nothing can justify or will be held to justify the use of torture or inhuman conduct of any kind on the part of the American army.

DR. KILMER & CO., Binghagmton, N. Y. TE About twa years ago I had a very severe case of kidney and bladder trouble. The pain in the small of my back was so severe that I could not stand it to stay in one position more than a moment or two, and was obliged to pass water very often day and night. I tried medicines and doctors without getting rellef. Noticing an advertisement in the Topeka State Journal of Swamp-Root, I determined to glve it a trial, and bought a bottle. By the time I had finished the first bottle the pain had entirely disappeared from my back. The pain and frequent desire to pass water ceased. - However, I continued to take the medicine, using about six bottles in all. That was over a year 4go, and I have had no return of the trouble e et 5 % (A. H. Nooney), A v Chief Engineer, State Capitol Buflding, Topeka, Kans.
