"Beware of the slren."

An eastern gentleman writes friend
in this city that Devils ! AXE is likely to
be inflicted with siren. People who
don't know what siren is shouldn't be
anxious to find out. A siren is bad fe-
male woman, and from the tone of print
ed circular enclosed i'll the letter above
mentioned it would seem that the town
Of Jackson, Mich, had lately been SIREN
lied. The circular, which is entitled
"Beware Of the Siren,'' gives the name
of the siren (Which the INTER-OcEAN
then goes on to say: "She Is bad wom-
an! She sneaks into good homes, under
the pretence of teacher, and then COM
mences her hellish work in breaking up
the ties Of domestic happiness! She il
known on nearly all railroads. but not in
the happy homes of good wives and
daughters, who would not speak to her
if they knew her as do. She went to
Kalamazoo last summer and was kept
by a married man, in whose family she
had been long time. The poor wife
knows her now and so do others. She
stole $40 from man on the street, and
says she will do anything for money.
She is bad, dangerous and unprincipled
thing: Cast no reflections on her parents
for hope they are much better than she
this is not true-in Jackson"
The circular is signed "a Much
Wronged One," whom it is fair to pre-.
sumo is the wife of tho man who was 81
renized. There is good reason for the be
lief that the alleged siren aforementioned
left Michigan short time ago for Devils
Lake; hence these apprehensiOns anC
this due and timely notice in the col
umns of this wide-awake journal.

ENORMOUS EMIGRATION.
Nothing Like 1t Since lSs2-Facts
and Figures.

A. Il. Johnson, the st. Paul cmigra.
ton agent Of the Manitoba road, was in
the city over Sunday, and before leaving
Monday morning called at the INTER-
OCEAN Office. In an interview concern
ing immigration to this country Mr..
johnson said:
"Foreign emigration to the United
States will be larger this year than il
has been since 1882. The principal gail,
will be from Scandinavia and Germany
for these reasons:
"ln Scandinavia the times arc bad
generally. Norway's shipping interests
are depressed. Sweden has experienced
almost u national panic. Many com.
mercial and financial failures have oc-
cured. Property has greatly deprecia.
ted in price. There is less demand in
England for the lumber produced in
Sweden, and the iron interests are also
at stand still.
"On tho other hand, there is a rcyiyal
Of good times in the United States, and
the letters from those who are already
here stimulate others to.come. dare
say we have sold three times as many
passenger tickets purchased here and
sent there by friends and relatives) in
the past four months as VIC did in the
corresponding time last year. THIS has
been especially active in North Dakota
and Northwestern Minnesota.
"rhe German emigration is stimulated
by the depressing times and the strict
ness Of the military rule by which all
young men arriving ut Il certain age are
compelled to enter the service. We
are getting better share OF German EN-.
| igration than heretofore.
| domestic emigration is better than
for two years past. Out of our Office at
st. Paul we have booked for North Dl-
kota and northwestern Minnesota this
year six times Us many as last year. The
great bulk of these 70 to the Devils
Lake region. In fact, the Devils Lake
country is tho only place where the best
government lands may be had. The do
mestic immigration comes from South
ern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and
some from northern Illinois. They come
better prepared than any other class OF
immigrants by reason Of their experience
in western farming, and they also haye
greater means. to start with.
ain the past few days we have booked
thirty families of Russians for Devils
Lake who were stopping temporarily in
st. Paul, and at one time we booked no
less than eleven carloads Of immigran,
moveables. These Russians make a
good class Of citizens They come from
a prairie country in Russia and dispense
entirely with wood Or coal, hay and
straw being utilized for fuel.
"Altogether. consider the. prcsen,
condition and the future outlook fol

There is no boom, but a.steady and
healthy growth
Mr.. johnson said the people of this
region should turn their attention to
stockraising. He believed our stock
show was great movement.

An Increase of $1,000 in the Subscriptions
Yesterday-0ne Gift of $500.

The first amount has increased $1,000 since
yesterday morning and represents the aggregate
subscriptions to the building fund to date. A
little more sacrifice of time on the part of the
solicitors and more conscientious giving on the
part of the solicited will soon transpose the
amounts at the head Of this item and complete
this noble enterprise. Who is there in the
city without interest in the success of
this project having for it's aim the
best good of young men, and, through them,
of the community at large? Persons who
who have not yet been solicited are urged to give
the matter earnest consideration and be ready
to subscribe when first called upon, or, better
still, call at the Association rooms and make
your subscriptions voluntarily, as several parties
did on yesterday and the day before. Mr.. Fl. P.
Randall was one of these, and his subscription
was for $500. Mr.. T. f. Holland and Mr.. G.. HI.
Mclaughlin were two others, and their pledges
were for $50 and $50 respectively. Who will be
the next?

THE GOVERNOR WILL NOT INTERFERE.
Wartena, the Murderer, Will Certainly Be
Executed at Rensselaer, Tomorrow.

A petition was received this week by Governor
Gray from the clergymen and q number of the
citizens of Rensselaer, urging him to commute
tho sentence Of Weibern Wartena to imprison-
ment for life. The Governor yesterday wrote a
letter to Rensselaer, stating that he had deter
mined not to interfere with the execution, as
Wartena had been given two trials, and the evil
aence had been before the Supreme Court both
times. The murder was very atrocious
one, and there is no doubt about
his guilt The evidence failed to
show couciusively that he was not mentally re-
eponsible, and the Governor knows of no reason
why he should not suffer the penalty of the court
for his crime. There will be no interference with
the execution which will take place tomorrow
at Rensselaer,.
A report from Rensselaer, states that Wartena
has refused to eat anything since last Saturday,
and has been in bed during the whole of the
tiwe since then. He is very nervous, and the
sheriff thinks that he will have to be carried to
the scaffold in an unconscious condition.

tors. withdrew from those banks between $3.50,
600 and $450,OO0, and many of these savers will
be glad of an opportunity to invest
