gor, charged with having murdered
Charles A. Preller in St. Louis, April 5.
The arrest was made by the United
States Consul Gamble, who received a
telegram from the chief of police of St.
Louis, with instructions to that effect.
Two days later Consul Gamble received
a telegram from the United States sec
rotary of state authorizing him to make
the arrest. Two detectives boarded the
steamer at Tiritiri. The purser, in
reply to their questions stated that there
was a man among the steerage passen-
gers answering Maxwells description.
The man was summoned on deck.
The first question asked him was
whether he was a physician. He
promptly denied this, saying he was a
native of France and an officer in the
French army. The detectives then in
formed him they had a warrant for his
arrest, and would have to take him into
custody. Maxwell appeared to be dis.
concerted, but recovered his composure
while the officers were Handwriting him
and cody remarked that the whole mat
ter was a mistake which would be
quickly explained away.

WHEAT SHORTAGE.

There is every reason to believe that
Dakota No. l hard wheat will sell for at
least one dollar a bushel by January LIST
next. The first reports of a shortage
read very much like the regular annual
reports of the Chicago bulls. 1t is the
habit of these animals to report a total
failure of crops every time the bears
compel them to supply the difference
between bull and bear opinions. To
play even the bulls report short crops
or no crops at all, and thus endeavor to
enhance the price of grain, so that the
bears will be compelled to buy at bull
prices. Half the Dakota hail storms re-
ported in the eastern papers are the fruit
Of traps set by bulls to catch bears.

The District Court

Judge McConnell's order for court
here is for one week, beginning July I,
during which the grand jury will sit,
and court cases exclusively will be
heard; on Saturday, the 18th, he will
go to Devils Lake and open court in due
form, put the machinery in motion and
lay out the practical plans to enable the
new subdivision to have court when he
gets through at more pressing points:
This will require only a few hours. He
will return in time to open the second
week of court here Tuesday, when jury
trials in the criminal side of the court
will be held and pressed to the utmost.
The following week OF two, as the cases
may justify, will be devoted to civil
causes in which the intervention Of a
jury is required. With the disposition
the new judge has to work, if promptly
seconded by all parties, the dockets
may be thoroughly cleaned up, it is

Gen. Grant Failing Fast.

Mr. ACGREGoR. June 1S.-Gen. Grant

Gen. Grant was removed here to

When the Cass county grand jury on

tured them rs follows:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: l
hardly know what to say in regard to
this paper. If it went q little farther l
should hand it over to the district attor-
ney with instructions to prosecute the
persons named therein for removal from
Office. There are only two or three
things that you as members ofthe grand
jury, of this court, are authorized un-
der the law to consider. You can pre-
sent facts warranting the removal from
office, or facts showing willful and cor
rupt conduct which should cause re-
moval, or a specific Indictment for NAL
feasance in Office; but this is nothing
more than o resolution of censure, some-
thing which the law does not allow you
to make. You have no right to censure;
accusations must be legally brought into
court, and the accused have a chance to
make defense. If this paper is designed
merely for the purpose of censure, it
should be torn up or be burned. This
court cannot, 1 dare not, l will not re.
ceive such a document. You have
violated the charge of this court; you
have violated the laws as presented to
you. 1t comes to me legitimately that

fame were being run in the city and
you have refused to in dict the keepers

WI. Chamberlin, the Ohio statistician
reports to the National Millers associa-
ton Of Milwaukee:
Two hundred and seventy millions is
my June estimate. Three hundred mill
ion was my May estimate. Wheat lost
rapidly in April and May, and lately the
