EXPULSION OF THE JESUITS.
An Order by Prince Charles Which He Per-
sistenty Refuses to Rescind.

London dispatch: Prince Charles III OF
Mouaco has expelled the Jesuits from his
dominion, and parsistently refuses to re-
scind the order OF expulsion. Twenty years
ago the Jesuits rented some property from
the prince and opened a convent and school,
the latter being for the instruction OF sons
of Italian noblemen. Subsequently, owing
to unenviable notoriety which Monte Carlo
obtained through its gaming tables, the
Jesuits removed their institution to the
town OF San Reno, where they erected a
suitable building. They then asked the
prince to repay them the sun of 29S, 900
francs which they had spent on improving
the convent at Monte Carlo. This the
prince declined to do and the Jesuits prose
cuted him; whereupon he expelled them from
his dominion. The subjects OF the prince
have implored him to rescind his order OF
expulsion, but he remains obdurate.
The International Monte Carlo commit
tee at Nice has sent to all European gov;
ernments, perhaps the most eloquent in
dictment of public gaming tables that has
ever been written. 1t consists OF a COM
plete list OF losses at Monte Carlo to the
present time, and it has been computed in
the hope of bringing the collective action to
bear upon Prince Charles III of Monaco, in
whose personal interests the gaming tables
are primarily kept going. The number OF
persons who, seeing themselves face to face
with ruin, having committed suicide upon
the ''lonely rock" where in Lord Tenny-
sons phrase, "little Monaco's basking
smiles" during the last eight years in 1920,
a number equal to about one-fourth OF
Prince Charles subjects. The list gives the
name OF each suicide, and in many cases his
letters OF farewell.
The major part of the victims were Ital-
ians, French and Russians. One-tenth
were Germans. English and American
names were very few. Many of these poor
creatures, it is asserted, were unceremoni-
ously buried in pauper graves.

SUICIDE IN THE TESTRY.
The Rer. Jardine Ends a Sensation and a
Life By Poison.

The Rec. Jardine Ends a Sensation and 9
Life by Poison.
st. Louis dispatch: Quite a sensation
was produced when late tonight the coro-
ner announced that the Rev. H. D.. Jardine,
who was some weeks ago convicted before
IN ecclesiastical court at Kansas City, had
committed suicide to-day. Itappears that
Jardine since his arrival here some days
ago to consult with his attorney regarding
his case, has been lodging in the vestry
room OF Trinity church, OF which Father
Belts is rector. Last evening the Rev. Jar
dine and his attorney, Mr.. Harrison and
Father Belts had u prolonged conference
in the vestry room, during which Mr.. Har-
rison very decidedly expressed the opinion
that Bishop Robertson would not grant
the Rev. Jardine n rehearing of his case.
This had some effect upon the Rev. Mr..
Jardine, and he manifested considerable
feeling, repeatedly declaring his innocence
O. the charges for which he had been tried,
and the Justice of his demand for a new
trial. When, however, Father Belts and
Mr.. Harrison left about L o'clock this
morning it was not thought that Mr.. Jar
dine was seriously disturbed.
When Father Belts arrived at the church
early this morning he observed the Rev.
Mr.. Jardine still in bed, but did notdisturb
him, and went On with his early service.
Later the sexton of the church went to
the vcstry room to wake Mr.. Jardine, and
found him in n deep sleep and breathing
heavily. He Immediately called Deacon
Dyer, assistant to the Rev. Mr.. Belts, who
on entering the room detected the odor os
chloroform, and at once sent for physi-
clans. On the arrival of the doctors they
discovered that the Rev. Mr.. Jardine had
taken chloroform, and Immediately adopt
ed vigorous measures to restore him. After
three hours continuous efforts, however,
they announced hat he was dead. The
coroner was notified, and after hearing all
obtainable testimony, a verdict of suicide
by chloroform was rendered.

TIE H4W4H1N TRE1TY

There will be an effort made during the
present session OF congress to nave the
president give notice to the Hawaiian gov
ernment to terminate the reciprocity
treaty. The treaty was made June .,
1875, and requires a notice OF twelve
months from either party to terminate it.
An attempt was made in the last congress
to take the first step to abrogate the treaty
but it failed. 1t is probable a more deter
mined effort will be made during this ses-
sion to accomplish the same result. Sena-
tor Gibson, of New Orleans, has introduced
a resolution in the senate, and Congress-
man Morrison a similar one in the house
directing the president to give notice that
this country desires to terminate the
treaty.

SENSATION 1T 4 FUNERAE.

The funeral OF Rev. Mr.. Jardine occurred
at Kansas City on the 18th. Rev. DR.. Geo.
Belts, OF st. Louis, delivered the funeral
grafton. 1t was quite sensational and If
the talk OF the city. He spoke IN glowing
terms in defense OF the deceased, and in bit
ter inrective against all who had combined
against him. Thu scene grew highly drama
tic as the tall priest stood beside the bier
in the dimly lighted church and facing the
audience declared his dead friend to have
been as~sassinated and they, the people Of
Kansas City, had slain him. He denounced
the action OF the ecclesiastical court as
outrageous, and characterized the bishops
conduct as weak and temporizing. Further
evidence, the speaker declared, would dem
onstrate the innocence and purity o
Father Jardine.

LANDS OPEN TO SETTLEMENT.
An Important Decision by the Secretary of
the Interior.

the Interior.
The secretary OF the interior, in response
10 applications OF settlers in New Mexico to
have the tract OF LAND known as the Nolan
grant (No. 39) restored to the public do
main, has made a decision favorable to
their application, which throws open to
settlement $4,000 acres OF land. The
secretary holds that as these lands were
patented to the heirs OF Nolan. then de-
ceased, the acceptance OF the patent by the
1eirs under the confirmation act was in full
satisfaction of any further claims against
the government, and he directs that the
olats of public survey be restored to the
ocal land office at Santa Fe, and that the
lands hitherto held in reservation because
Of this claim be at once restored to the pub
tic domain subject to entry and settlement.
Upon information that hundreds OF suits
have been instituted against settlers within
the boundaries of the grant, many OF whom
are represented as being very poor, the
secretary has requested the attorney gen.
sral to take charge OF the case OF Pinkerton
VS.. Lodeux, which is now before the
supreme court of the United States upon
appeal, as it is expected this case win ope-
rate as q test case.

REFORM IN THE MUSIC.
As I~namgmrated by President Cleveland at
the Recent State Dinner.


The president gave his first state dinner
OF the season on the evening OF the 10Th in
honor of his cabinet. The white house was
tastefully arranged for the occasion and
presented a brilliant appearance. Theeast
room and parlors adjoining the state din
ing room were lined with tropical plants,
and the mantels were banked with choice
flowers. The principal decoration OF the
dinner table was an immense floral ship OF
state, which was surrounded by many
smaller floral pieces OF different designs.
One OF the oldest attaches OF the ehous
said the table had never presented a more
beautiful appearance. The Marine band
was stationed in the main vestibule, and
discoursed it's finest music during the din
ner. One reform instituted by the band
was the omission OF Hail to the Chief
from it's repertoire. This was done out OF
respect to the president, Who is said
to be very tired OF hearing that
tune. The following is q list OF the
guests: Secretary OF State and Mrs.
Bayard, Secretary of the Treasury n
Mrs. Manning, Secretary and Mrs. Endi-
colt, Secretary OF the Navy and Mrs. Whit
ney, Postmaster General and Mrs. Villas.

THE CANADIAN INDIANS.
Probable Outbreaks of the B~lackfeet and
PieUuns.

PtegdnS.
Ottawa (Ont.) dispatch: DR.. orion, NJ
p, arrived In the city to-day from Winni-
peg. In a conversation this afternoon he
stated that there was danger of a rising
among the Bloods, Blackfeet and Piegans
in the western portion OF the Northwest
territories. The doctor says: They are
well armed, and ! nave information to the
effect that for some time past they have
been unusually reticent toward the white
pupulation-in fact, their manner has con-
siderably changed. There has been an in
crease OF horse-stealing, and the Indians
have been visited by runner from other
tribes in the dominion and across the
boundary line" With reference to the OBJ
ject OF his visit to Ottawa, DIR. Orion said:
among other things l nave a scheme
which, If adopted, will undoubtedly prove
as successful as a similar one carried outin
the United States some years ago. 1t 10
nothing more or less than n plan to take
all the leading chiefs OF the Northwest on =
tour through the dominion, treat them
with courtesy and show them the principal
sights, in order that they may form an
idea of the extent and resources OF the
country and the white population. Sucha
trip as the one proposed would have =
powerful effect upon the chiefs" DR.. Or
ton advises the disarmament OF the In
dams. and thinks the system of training
the Indians in agricultural pursuits should
be vigorously carried on and cattle supplied

Omaha Bee Schuyler special: Nothing
ever cast such q gloom over this place as
the death OF Sheriff Digman yesterday.
This was indeed n funeral town. Business
OF every description was suspended, ana
men gathered about in knots and groups
OF three or four. The excitement was in
tense, but quiet prevailed. There was no
clustering. All was sober determination.
The universal verdict seemed to be that
Judge Lynch ought to take the case in hand
The excitement was not confined to tins
town alone, but everywhere along the line
telephones were brought into requisltion,
asking information rom different subscrib-
ers. Arrangements seemed to have been
made to come here in large parties from
neighboring towns. Every train thatcame
brought some newcomers. Late IN the
evening crowds came in wagons from the
country from fifteen to twenty miles
around. By 2 O'Clock there was at least
200 strangers in town.
At half past ten they formed in line and
marched quietly and orderly to the court
house, where the sheriff, U. p. Degman, just
appointed, Joseph Rudersdorf and Frank
Fra zier were on guard. The mobdemandeo
admittance but were refused. Alter TINS
they went to the rear door and commences
to batter it down with q sledge with which
thew were provided. The doom were
opened by the guards, who tried to reason
with the mob, and ordered them to dis
perse. They were Immediately covered by at
least q hundred revolvers and ordered tc
throw I'D their hands. The sheriff was
then seized and the keys taken from him.
The mob then proceeded to open the CELL
At the first approach OF the mob the prls-
oner, Lapour. began to below dismally,
probably realizing what was coming. Nc
attention was paid to his outcries.
He was in the cell with both hands and
feet manacleG. The mob seized him, ed
justed the rope around his neck, dragged
him out doors to q convenient tree neal
the fence in front OF the court house, where
he was soon swinging between heaven and
earth. Not IL word was spoken by the
crowd until they were ready to draw him
up, when all seemed to cry at once Hang
him." Death soon took place, after which
he was cut down and carried into the sher
ifs office. He did not struggle after being
drawn up, as the treatment before had
probably stunned him.
The crowd having been but a few minutes
at their work, dispersed as quietly as they
had come together. By II O'Clock the
streets were clear and everything as quiet
as though nothing had happened. 1T is
thought that there were between two and
three hundred men on the ground, and but
little attempt was made at concealmeDt,
though it would be q hard matter to posi-
lively identify any one as having had o
hand in the business. The great majority
OF the citizens justify the action of the mob
though they deprecate the necessity which
called forth an appeal tolynch law.

LAWS FOR
some Good Measures Passed al the Last Ses-.
sion of the Cherokee Council.

COHtC UOOU lheUStTeS Il uSScu ut rSc 1<eaoe DcS
sion of the Cherokee Council.
The Cherokee council at its regular ses-
sion passed six general laws, as follows:
To prevent the shipment OF game beyond
the limits OF the nation; making it a penal
offense to do 80.
To authorize the circuit Judge to hold
special terms OF court for the trial OF civil
cases in relation to setting on fire woods,
marshes or prairies.
Granting authority to construct q tele-
phone line ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Muskogee.
To make Il penal offense to skin dead
cattle belonging TO Others.
To reduce the tax on non-citizen labor
from 81 to so cents per month
The purpose sought in the passage OF the
law relating to skinningd dead cattle was for
the protection of the stockmen. There is
universal belief among the stockmen OF this
country that in no small number OF cases
the range is burned by worthless parties
for the express purpose OF starving to
death the cattle owned by their ~neighbors.
Thus 1.-THE cow skinner" as he is termed,
profits by the cattlemen's misfortune. The
game law was also, to some extent, passed
for the benefit of the stockmen. A great
source of prairie fires has always been
the hunters camps, and by breaking up
the game shipping the hunter was put'out
of the way also. There was at the opening
of the session a fair prospect that the stock
interests OF the nation would receive sub
stantial encouragement. The existing law
prohibits the introduction OF southern cat
tie between April 1 and October 81. 1t
was sought to extend the time one or two
months in the spring, at which time the
grass would be up so that cattle could live.
A bill was twice introduced in the lower
house, but failed by a few votes. some OPP
ponent placing it upon its passage while
several OF it's supporters were absent.

Schuyler special to the Omaha Herald:
Schuyler was thrown into great excite
ment Yesterday morning. John S. Degman'
sheriff Of Colfax county, was killed with a
club in the hands OF Wenzel Lapour, con-
lined in the county Jail on a peace warrant.
Degman went into the cell with Lapour's
breakfast and carried q stick four feet in
length with him to use for kindling wood.
He threw this down, and then ordered
Lapour to empty his slop bucket. He
turned and walked out OF the cell door,
supposing Lapour would follow him with
the bucket. Lapour seized the club in
stead. and struck him a heavy blow on the
top OF the head. knocking him to the floor.
He then struck him vice more and started
to run from the Jail, but was caught by ex-
Sheriff McCurdy, who happened to see him.
Degman's skull was crushed in two places
and any one of the wounds would have
caused death. He lived about an hour
alter the blow was struck, but was not
conscious.
A ~coroner's jury was summoned and
found q verdict according to the above
1actS. NO one saw Tic uecu, OuO % hhoh
sleeping in q room above Lapour's cell
heard the conversation between Degman
and his murderer. No one else was about
the premises.
Degman was 50 years of age. born in
Kentucky, and a resident here for some
years. He served as deputy sheriff two
years and last fall was himself elected to
office. He was sworn in Thursday last and
entered on his duties at once. He was uni
versally esteemed and a most worthy
young man. He was unmarried, but rumor
says he was to wed a Kentucky girl in the
spring. His only relative here is a brother,
who is chief OF police. The deceased was a
Mason and the society will hold appropri-
ate ceremonies this morning, after which
the body will start for Kentucky in charge
OF deceased's brother.
Wenzel Lapour is a native OF Bohemia,
about so years old. He is a vicious mon
ster. and has an unenviable reputation. He
has been arrested many times for mistreat-
ing his family.
At1O:45 last night a body OF 200 masked
men gathered at the jail and overpowered
the guard. Lapour was then taken from
his cell and hung from a tree in front OF the
court house.
