RIEL'S SITUATION.
The Commission Consider Him Mad
The Fatal Document Sent Out.

WINNIPEG, Nov. II.
The apparent cause of Riel's last respite
was the report of the so-called insanity COM
mission which arrired on Friday at Regina.

DR.. +. X. Lavarie of Quebec. Their move
ments were kept secret They examined
Riel carefully on Friday, Saturday and Sun
day and reported to Ottawa on Sunday night.
They departed for Ottawa Tuesday night.
Their examinations consisted of conversation
with Riel who was kept in the dark as to who
the strangers were.
To one of their questions, "would you like
to live?" Riel answered, 'yes, would like
to live because everybody likes to live"
Pressed for further reasons, he added, 81 am
a prophet and the longer l live the more |
accomplish on earth. / have a mission to
perform though God may raise up a prophet
in my place" The doctors asked if he loved
God and remarked that he had been accused
of blasphemy. The answer was, ''You ask
me if love God, why sacrificed everything,
even my life for God. See the scaffold
Whom do | love if not God. Certainly l
love God and have tried my best to prepare
to meet God and think l am as near it as
human nature permit" The commission
think Riel is mad. His nervous system is
shattered and he cannot live three years
Nothing is known here, regarding the nature
of the commissioners report.
MONTREAL, Nov. II.
At this writing it is known that special
messenger is on his way to Regina, with an
official document from the governor general
ordering Sheriff Chaplain to proceed with
the execution of Riel Meanwhile Riel passes
the greater portion of his time in prayer and
meditation Within the last few days ex-
traordinary precaution has been taken to
prevent any surprise.

CREsTON, Ia, Nov. II.
This morning Mrs. Nellie Lang deliberate.
ly shot Mrs. W. F. Morse and her widowed
sister, Mrs. Susan GRAY. She first shot Mrs.
Gray and then fired four shots at Mrs. Morse,
two of which took effect, one in the righ.

been making criminal charges against her.
The parties all lived in the same house. Mrs.
Lang was arrested and 10 in jail.

As call men are born free and

they should be born physically, but
as long as children must suffer for

not be. That the human race has
deteriorated physically is a conced-

impossibility, as long as people
persist in immortality and indul-

To this end we offer to the pub
