Kalispell is located in the north- western part of Montana, not far from the Canada line, in a mountainous and | sparsely settled region. The building is of brick with sandstone trimmings. ; interior finish of maple and cost $10,000. To celebrate the opening, a reception was given by the ladies of the library association. The Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion in Rhode Island, Mr. Stockwell, declared in a recent meeting of the State Library Association held in Paw- tucket, R. L, that public libraries mean almost more to the education of the State than the schools themselves, if conducted as they ought to be. They are a means of education of the peo- ple. He concluded with the words. “Don’t be discouraged; you have en- undertaking of fore.” Prompted by a zealous desire to know what best points are to be found in the library - buildings of Californie A. W. North and Lawrence Stephens, library trustees of Woodiand, are mak- ing, at their own expense, an extended trip of inspection. They will visit the libraries of San Jose, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Oakland, Alameda, Napa, Santa Rosa, Vallejo and others. Their special object is to promote utility and ele- gance in the plans now being drawn for the Woodland library. The Oakdale library has just ob- tained through Representative J. C. Needham more than thirty valuable de- partment works. Some of these are from the geological survey of the De- partment of the Interior and are de- scriptive of the resources and possibil- ities of Northern California. W. R. Watson, formerly connected with the Carnegie Library of Pittsburg, Pa., recently appointed assistant State librarian, has arrived at Sacramento and assumed his new duties. Chico has been favored with its long- expected gift of $10,000 from Andrew Carnegie. Eighteen months ago Chico had no free library. A few earnest cit- izens brought the subject by petition before the City Trustees, procured the passage of an ordinance for the estab- lishment of a library and at once ap- plied to Mr. Carnegie for a donation. Traveling libraries are in greater de- mand among the teachers of Missouri than with the women's clubs of that State. This is a recent report from the Missouri State Federation of Clubs. As a memorial to a little son that re- cently died, John Patton of Grand Rap- ids, Mich., will provide and maintain a collection of books to be sent to crip- pled children. __The citizens of Santa.Cruz are mak- ing great efforts to previde ample funds for the furnishing of their library structure, now under way. A large committee is to be appointed to arrange | for the giving of concerts, theatricals and lectures in this behalf. Among the recent purchases made by the Pasadena library are a number of valuable sets of works. One is com- posed of twelve volumes on modern en- gineering; another is on Oriental sci- ence, illustrated by exquisite engray ings, those on Japanese art being espe- cially fascinating. Phoenix, Ariz.,, has received from Andrew Carnegie an offer of $25,000 on the usual conditions. This offer takes the place of one formerly made of only $15,000. The Los Gatos library has lished a charge of $1 for the use of its books by those that live beyond the v limits. The latest oddity in the construction of a library building is to be seen in Derby, Vt.,, where a heautiful building presented by Mrs, Martha Harkee is located on the boundary line between the United States and Canada, half of the building being situated on each side of the line. In San Mateo the library trustees have received an offer from Mrs. M. B. Brittain of San Francisco of a com- plete set of the “Review of Reviews,” from 1891 to 1902. The offer has been accepted and the collection will be bound. The Ventura County law library has | mercantile firm in Kern County and | Supreme for twenty-five vears a resident of Ba- | Court reports to its collection, now 1500 | kersfield and well known throughout | of in number. A very valuable collection of old books and paintings has been offered to the public library of Los Angeles by the Rev. Juan Caballeria, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of the Angels. | In this collection are twenty-six paint- ings and forty volumes, which are il- Justrative of the early history of the Southwest. The expense incurred collecting them amounts to $1000 and the gift is conditional upon the pay- As the library is without funds to secure the offering it seems probable that the money will be raised by the citizens of Los Angeles. ————————— PAINTERS, DECORATORS AND PAPERHANGERS ARE AT WAR < There is war on between two factions representing the painters, decorators and paperhangers. The opposing bod- ies in the union each elected officers a short time ago and now each faction is claiming recognition from the Building Trades Council. It is probable that the council will interfere and order a | new election. The members of the Pavers’ Union are wrought up over the recent action of the United Railroads in discharg- ing a number of its members. They claim that the corperation cut the wages of the pavers from $350 to $2 50 a day. The various unions of engineers of the city have taken steps to have a uniform law passed by the Legislature to be known as the United Engineers’ license law.

LOUIS, Jan. 25.—The Denver ex- | press, on the main. line of the Burling- ton road, due here at 6;35 p. m., was run into from the rear by a local pas- senger train while taking water at Gar- deen Creek, about forty miles north of here to-night. It is reported that some deaths occurred and that several train! men were hurt. The wreck occurred on a bridge over Gardeen Creek. The bridge and two cars of the local train and the local engine were burned. The express was running behind time because of the blizzard weather, and had stopped at a tank Jjust after clearing the bridge to take water. Suddenly, without warning, the local train crashed into the rear of the ex- press train. The light passenger cars of the local train were badly demolished and the bridge was filled with debris, which took fire. Word reached St. Charles, eight miles distant, and as- sistance was immediately sent from | there and a wrecking train was dis- ! patched from here, followed by a relief train with physicians. A long distance telephone message from St. Charles at midnight was to the effect that the rear sleeper of the Denver express stood on the bridze when the collision occurred. The sleep- er was smashed, but not demolished. The local train locomotive was crushed and set fire to the bridge and the structure and two cars of the local train were burned. The express man- aged to draw the damaged sleeper away from the flames. Because of the burned bridge traffic is suspended until a temporary struc- ture can be erected. The local train was the Hannibal accommodation, due | in St. Louis at 8:29 o'clock and was running about on time at a speed of twenty miles an hour. | At 2 o'clock the relief train had not arrived, but was making its way slow- | ly over the drifted track and in the face of a blistering snowstorm. Engineer John Nunns of the accom- | modation train stuck to his post and it | is believed he is under the debris, as he cannot be found. Accommodation Con- ductor McKay is reported seriously in- jured and Fireman Frank Heit and | Baggageman Willett were scalded by escaping steam. One of the Pullman ! cars has been turned into a temporary hosPilal. s THE DAY’S DEAD. | | |® * ! SAN JOSE, Jan. 25.—Julius H. | Ruger, a former prominent attorney and a pioneer of California, was found |dead in his home in East San Jose this morning. He lived alone and was found dead in bed by his daugh- ter, who called to visit him. He was last seen alive Saturday. He was a member of a prominent and dis- | tinguished New York family.

Why had not Lord Pelham Clinton and others been placed by the side of Wright? They were equally responsi- | ble with the defendant.

He pointed out also that the | Attorney General had intimated that | Wright had been selected to bear the | whole blame, because he had fey | friends. | “He is almost an American citizen,” | said Mr. Walton. ‘“He spent his early | life in the United States, where he ob- | tained such credit as can be obtained | by honesty, industry and integrity.

NEW YORR CITY. e o MIDDLE WEST STORM SWEPT Heavy Fall of Snow (auses the Abandonment of All Street- car Schedules in St. Louis SRELINE LS LONDON, Jan. 26.—A dispatch to Reuter’s Telegram Company from St. | | Petersburg says that while the bourse there has been nervous owing to the! | uncertainty of the situation, the pro- | gress of the negotiations inspires in-| creasing confidence among those who are well informed, and in such quar- ters there is a confident belief in a favorable issue. i The principal danger now, according | | to this dispatch, is said to be confined to the disorderly elements in Korea. | i’l‘he latest news received here repre- sents a great majority of the Koreans | as sympathizing with Russia and hos- | | tile to Japan. | Other dispatches say that the Jap- | anese are embarking 10,000 laborers at | Tientsin, in order to hasten the com- | pletion of the Seoul-Fusan Railroad. Some anxiety has been expressed in St. Petersburg regarding the military | movements of China. The St. Petersburg correspondent of | the Daily Telegraph cables that he has | !learned it was the erroneous idea of | Bezobrafeff, leader of the war party, and a Secretary of State, that Japan would rather withdraw her demands | than fight, which led to divided coun- | cils in the Russian Government, and | when war seemed unavoidable he still persisted that a short and a sharp struggle would end the matter. He | even ventured to criticize the plan of campaign of War Minister Kuropatkin and the War Office and proposed a plan of his own. The War Minister then threatened to resign, according to the correspondent, and Count Lamsdorff and Witte, re-| spectively Minister of Foreign Affairs | and President of the Committee of Min- | isters, protested. Finally Grand Duke Alexander, who had first brought Be- zobrafeff to prominence, became con- vinced war must be avoided, and he managed to get Bezobrafeff away. The Tokio correspondent of the Times | says the leading Japanese journals con- | tinue to be skeptical of Russia’s pacific intentions and argue that the patching up of a hollow peace would be a pre- lude to future rivalry in armaments which would cause a greater strain than a war, whereas a fight ln-day' would be a preface to many years of | peace. S e LT AMERICAN CONSULS WELCOME. | Russia Will Accord Courtesies to Our | Representatives in Manchuria. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Count Cassini, the Russian Embassador, had a long talk to-day with Acting Secre- | tary of State Loomis on the Far East- ern situation. The question which | received most attention was the un-| contradicted statements which have appeared in certain newspapers re- garding the attitude of this Govern- ment. The Russian Government, of | course, could not nresume to question | the previous assurances received from | this country regarding its neutrality because of any newspaper publication, hut the recurrence of these statements | has proved annoying. There is no exnectation on the part of this Government of any hitch in| the reception of our Consuls in Man- | churia. The evidence of approval of the commercial treaty which Russia has given convinces the State Depart- ment that the Consuls will receive every courtesy. N R Japanese Accused of Treachery. TOKIO, Jan. 25.—Takashima, the Japanese interpreter for the Russian | attache, was arrested on Saturday last | on suspicion that he has been acting | as spy in the Yokosuka fortified zone. | He has been taken to Yokohama for trial. It is alleged that conclusive evidence has been obtained regarding other suspects, which is causing a very strong feeling against such treachery, which is a capital offense in Japan. —_———————————— Costly Suits at Fresno Settled. FRESNO, Jan. 25.—The many suits growing out of the controversy be- tween John and George Seropian of Fresno and Catton, Bell & Co. of San Francisco have been settled. The Seropians will pay to Catton, Bell & Co. the sum of $110,000 and take over the shares (one more than half) that the company owned in the Seropian Fruit Packing Company. This in- cludes all their interest in the several packing houses throughout the State. ST. til LOUIS, Jan. night snow fell —From dawn un- without cessation and it is apparent that the fall will continue throughout the night. Streest car schedules were abandoned and every effort was made to keep the cars running regardless of time. All of the snowplows in the city were broughnt into requisition. At the Union station all in-bound trains were reported late. TOPEKA, Kans., Jan. 25.—A blizzard | has been raging throughout Kansas all day. Snow, driven by a fierce north wind, has fallen and the mercury has been below zero. In Topeka it was 10 below. Advices from Western and Cen- tral Kansas say that cattle are suffer- ing severely and much loss in this di- rection is expected.

More than $300,000 is involved in the case, according to Post- office Inspector Ketcham, in eharge of the case. James J. Hardin, former superintend- ent of the Jager Oil Company, and John H. O’Grady, a former director and stock- holder of the Model Gold Mining Com- pany, were important witnesses for the | Government. O’Grady told how the Jager brothers “boomed the stock™ of the Jager Oil Company. He said that one of the brothers went to Evanston, Wyo., | where the company's ‘‘properties™ were located, and registered at the hotel as David Willlams. Then Wit~ ness Hardin said the mining promoter, under the alias of Williams, offered him $1000 an acre for the property. A report of this offer was sent to Chicago in a telegram, which was reproduced and printed in advertising matter sent through the mails, the witness said. O’Grady testified that at first it was planned to send him to Wyoming to make the “offer,” but that Jager after- ward decided that as he was lame, “he might be recognized.” J. J.
