Wisconsin Veterans Banquet
Chief Rea and Other NOtables.
Special to the Globe.
MADISON, Wis, April 1S.-A camp
fire and banquet was held this evening
by C. G. Washburn post, G. A. r.,
of this city. The affair was attended by
a large number of visitors from abroad.
The general exercises were held at the
capitol before large concOurse Of peo-
Pile. Occupying positions on the plat
form were Commander-in-chief Rea, of
Minneapolis; ex-Commander-in-ch
Fairchild, Gov. Jeremiah Rush, Depart
ment Commander Weissert and other
distinguished guests of Wisconsin;
Mayor DOgon performing like serv-
ice on behalf of the city. In his well
coming address, Gov. Rusk remarked,
parenthetically, that he had observed
while in the South recently, the ''well-
preserved marks of the war and battle
field" and commented Oh the necessity
of keeping alive the war memories and
educating the present generation by
means of the G. A. r. Commander-in-
chief Rea spoke elOquently at consider
able length. His remarks were con-
fined principally to eXtolling the work
of the young men in the war and en-
deavoring to dispute the assertions of
the q. A. r. being political or par
tisan organization. He paid glowing
tribute to the influence of the &. A. K.
in procuring legislation to aid needy
comrades, and advocated the pension
ing of all ex-soldiers who were broken
down in health. Commander Weissert,
of the department of Wisconsin, made
the concluding address. At the coll
clusion of the exercises banquet was
rendered the visitors at the post hall,
followed by reception and ball.

around the bases. His long drive
( for two bases in the sixth
and his double play with Brosnan in
the fifth completed his standing and
gave him the honors. ''Dunlap" Hawes
covered his duties, afeld and at bat, like
a veteran. For the visitors, the work
of Wilson, Miller and Shannon was
above criticism.
THE SIX RUNS
were made in two innings. Krieg
opened the first with a hit, which DOran
muffed; Cassian juggled Howes' easy
bit and both men were safe. Burns
dropped McCullom's fly and Krieg
scored, Patton clearing the bases by a
home-run hit over the fence. In the
sixth, Hawes led off with a hit to left,
but was caught at second on McCull-
om's liner to Miller. Patton drove out
long twO-bagger to center, and both
men scored on Jevne'S hit over second.
Jevne stole two bases, but was left on
third. Minneapolis got men on the bases
in every inning but the third and fourth,
but close work held them there. In
Omaha fourth inning, after Burns had
famed out, SOwderS made a hit, and
was sent to third by a wild pitch or
. passed ball, but though Miller got first
on balls, Annis and O'Connell fell easy
victims. In the fourth Shannon made a
drive for three bags. but was caught and

THAT REVOLVER.
Conclusive Evidence That it Did
Not Belong to Kingsley.

Special to the Globe.
WAvERLY, To-, April 1S.-In the State
against Billings, William FL. Barker, a
gunsmith, identified beyond all doubt
the revolver found beside Kingsley as
one repaired by him year ago. He
did not remember who had given it to
him to be repaired, but knew that it was
not Kingsley'S. The state introduced a
formidable array of witnesses who had
frequented Kingsley's office and had ac-
cess to the drawers to prove that no re-
volver was ever seen in kingsley's of
flee prior to his death. The janitOr of
the Office testified that but few days
drawers of the desks in the Office and
there was no revolver. The state also
proved that Kingsley's mother gave
Mrs. Billings the key to the old home on
Sept. 25. This date is
FOUR DAYS SUBSEQUENT
to the time that Mrs. Billings claims to
have entered the old home by means of
this key and to have had improper re-
lations with Kingsley. The state cor
roborated their testimony on this sub
ject by showing that Billings hired a
livery team the 25th, presumably to go
out to the Kingsley farm, and proved
further that the horse driven by the
defendant on that day was the same as
that recorded in the livery register as
hired that day. The defense attempted
to rebut this testimony by calling the
Billings and Russells to prove that the
Billings went out to Kingley's the 18th
and not the 25th of September. The
state introduced large number of wit
nesses, including Mayor Holt, Post
and other prominent citizens, who testi-
fed that Billings reputation for truth,
veracity and general moral character
was bad. Both sides filled in the miss
ing link in their chain of evidence and
rested. The attorneys will begin talk
ing tomorrow. The general opinion is
that the verdict will be guilty, but of
course the proverbial uncertainty of
juries renders disagreement possible.

proceedings of the Des Moines presby-

order has been issued by Indian Com

language in mission schools, which
action has received the sanction of the

the government as an unwarranted and
tyrannical assumption of power. I'VE
recognize the right of the Indian de-

schools supported by the government
in any manner they may deem best, but
we deny their right to interfere with
the mission schools and missionary work
of the church, supported entirely by the
voluntary contributions of Christian
people, and we regard such usurpation
as violation of that religious liberty
and freedom of worship guaranteed by
the constitution" The resolutions were

A SCHOOL WAR.
Dakota Board of Education Gets
Into Very Deep Water.

Special to the Globe.
ABERDEEN, Dak., April 1S.-A storm
of no small proportions is brewing be
tween the county superintendent and
the territorial board of education. The
latter called teachers institute for
this county without consulting G. j. G.
Macleod, county superintendent, who
protested upon the ground that it would
interfere with the working of schools,
as the teachers would be obliged to close
their schools in order to attend. He
also appealed to the board TO permit
Prof. B. +. Hoon, of the High schools
of this city, to conduct the same in case
one was to be held, but the board has
refused to let Hood conduct any insti-
tutes, although he has heretofore held
them under previous superintendents
an able conductor. Secretary McFar-
land, of the territorial board ordered the
institute called, and Macleod will call
the same, according to law, but will at
the same time issue circular to teach
ers saying that the institute is called
in opposition to his Judgment and
wishes, stating six reasons for his dis
approval, and saying that teachers and
officers may exercise their own discre-
ton with reference to adjourning their
schools during the institute. E. A. Dye,
territorial superintendent, was in the
city to-day and asked the city board of
education to adjourn The High school,
of which Hood is superintendent, in
order that the institute might be held
in the school building, but his request
was denied. Spring institutes have
been ordered in many of the counties
under protest of the county superin-
tendent. None except Macleod have

and Ten Fast Horses Burned.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1S.-Fire at
Palo Alto last night burned portion of
the stables of Senator Leland Stanford.
The loss will reach at least 100000.
Indications are that the fire was incen-
diary. The following horses were
burned to death:
Brown stallion Rexford, five years
old, by Electioneer, dam Rebecca, by
General Benton. Rexford had a record
of 2:24 when three years old, and last
fall made mile in 2:1915. He was
valued at $4,000. Five-year-old stallion
Clifton Bell, by Electioneer, dam Clara
Belle, by Abdallah Star. He had a
record of 2:25, and was valued at $4,000.
Black stallion, Kris Krinkle, by Elec-
tioneer, dam Lady ThOrne, Jr., by Will
year-old bay stallion Howard, by Elec-
tioneer, dam Mamie, by imported Her.
cules. Bay stallion Lowell, by Elec-
tioneer; dam Lady Lowell, by Schultz
St. Clair; valued at $1,000. Two bay
geldings, foaled in 1882, either of which
could make 2:25 with ease. They we're
by Electioneer, dams Emma Robson and
Blarney. Among the horses badly
burned were NOrlaine and Cedric.
Norlaine was by Norval, dam Elaine by
Messenger DurOc. Last fall ne beat the
worlds record for yearlings, making
2:311S. Hewas valued at $4,000. 1t is
believed the animal will recover. but he
was burned so badly about the head and
eyes that it is feared he will be blind.
Bay colt Cedric, by Electioneer, dam
Gen. Benton's Cecile. was also badly
burned, and no hope of rec overy.
Maiden, first reported to have perished,
is among those saved. Pale Alto was
considerably burned about the body but
will recover. There was no insurance
on the building or any of the animals,
and the total loss is now estimated at
100000.
Clifton Belle, one of the mares that
perished, was five years old, had a
record of 2:24115, and was valued at
$4,000. Rexford was five years old, had
record of 1924, and was worth about
the same sum. Norlaine, though
only two years old, was considered
worth $4,000. A year ago she made
the fastest time on record for year.
ling-2:311a. 1t is believed that Az
more and Kinda Rose were in the part
of the stable which burned. The latter
had three-year-Old record of .2:19, and
$4,000 had been refused for her. She
was now seven years old. 1t will be
seen that the stable contained some of
the most rapid travellers on the turf,
and there are not many sportsmen in
the country who will not feel a pang of
regret at the death of the animals, and
shock at the manner in which it was
enc0mpassed. A number of stablemen
succeeded in rescuing Norlaine and
Manzanita. The first named was
so badly injured it was considered a
mercy to kill her, and the fastest year.
ling in the world was put out of pain.
Manzanita, who was burned about the
head, is not seriously injured, and with
care will probably recover.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 1s.-Anson's men
captured another game from the Ma
rooms to-day, the score being 10 to 4. 1t
was an interesting contest, throughout,
and will be the last before the opening
of the regular league season. By the
friends of the Western association the
game was closely watched, as showing
the relative strength of the Maroon bat
teries. Nicholson and Clarkson have
now pitched against the regular league
team, and both have shown that they
are good pitchers, though both games
were lost owing to the MaroOns being
outclassed. Dunn has pitched a game
against the league ''colts" and won it
for the Maroons. An analysis of the
play shows that Dunn did the best work,
but few even of his friends call it fair
test, both Nicholson and Clarkson hav-
ing been pitted against the full strength
of the Whites. Considering the relative
strength of the mines, Nicholson un-
doubtedIy has done the best work. Nc
Cauley is the best player. judging him
by the Chicago games. Following is the

Snecial to the Globe.

DAYTON, O., April 1s.-This after
noon the first session of the Republican
state convention was held in the rink,
with 5000 people present. All the
counties were represented, and the
tWenty-one districts made reports OF
their meetings. As soon as the COM
mittees from the districts had reported,
the audience called for speech from
the permanent chairman, Gen. Kiefer.
In his speech Gen. Kiefer said that the
Democratic party was the party OF
fraud. ''It had not patriotism enough
in war to raise the needed revenue" ;"
said he, ''to feed, clothe and maintain
the army, and it has not sense or sa-
gacity enough in peace to cease collect
ing taxes from the people when the
necessity no longer exists" He ap-
plauded the principles of the Republi-
can party, and it's actions in former
years. Finally he mentioned John Sher-
man as the candidate of Ohio for the
presidency, and suggested that the con-
vention choose delegates who were
known to be Sherman men, and who
would go to the Chicago national con-
vention and not only vote, but also
WORK FOR SHERMAN.
Gov. J. B. Foraker was called on for a
speech, and amid deafening cheers he
came forward and bowed to the vast
audience. He said that he wanted to
correct the idea that is gong the rounds
with being on unfriendIy terms with
Sherman. He said that he was Sher-
man man, and if he was so fortunate as
to be delegate to Chicago he would be
like the other Ohio delegates-have no
second choice. He said that Ohio was
just on the point of redeeming herself
by the candidacy of another of her
favored sons. Hon. Benjamin Butter
worth was next called for. He said that
it was time to adjourn, but he would
stop to say that there was no division
among Republicans in their cOunSelS in
Ohio. The eyes of Ohio were
WATCHING THE CONVENTION
and they would see that the delegates
were a unit for John Sherman. The
speaker then referred to the late war,
and said that the war had not been for
gotten, and that Ohio held it as dear in
memory as any other state. The hour
is big with changes, and at the conven-
ton tomorrow much depends upon the
selection of the four delegates at large.
He said that the politicians at Chicago
were divided-part of them are in Can
ada and the other part in Joliet.
[Cheers.l The same, he said, was true
of Baltimore-part were in office and
part out, and the part out were in jail.
He said he did not forget his own state,
for while some went up to take their
places in the Offices they met others go
ing to the penitentiary. Mr.. Butter
worth said this was accounted for only
by it's being a Democratic administra-
tion. With Mr.. Butterworth's speech.
the convention adjourned.

They Can Craze at Will on the
Government Lands.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 49,
Judge Zane. in the Third district court,
to-day rendered decision of great i'm
portance to the sheep and cattle men of
the West. The Promontory Cattle
company few years ago purchased a
large tract of railroad land in Box Elder
county. The railway lands are the even
numbered sections, the alternate sec
tions still belonging to the public do
main. Through this purchase they be-
came the owners of railroad lands or
tracts of country stretching forty miles
north and south and thirty-six miles
east and west. The government lands
which are included in this area foot Up
more than 350, 900 acres. John S. HOutz
and score of other defendants, who
own large flocks of sheep, claimed that
they had right to the use of the public
lands for grazing purposes, also to pass
over the company's lands to get there.
The sheep nipped the herbage on the
company's land in crossing, and as the
company could not fence exceptin single
sections, for that would inclose govern
ment lands, an application was made to
the court asking that the sheep men be
kept off the tract altogether. Judge
Zane refused to grant the injunction.
He said if the injunction was issued it
would secure to the plaintiff the right
not only to its own land, but also the ex-
elusive right to the use of the govern
ment lands. 1t would further impart a
great hardship on all persons driving
this class of stock from one section to
another in compelling them to go
around a tract thirty-six by forty miles.

Men and Woman Till They
Faint.
NEW ALBANY, Ind, April 1s.-The

again on the war path last night. James
Seebers, Robert Broomfeld and Mrs.
Nancy Wilson had incurred their dis
pleasure, and last night fifty of them
rode up to Mrs. Wilson's house. where
Broomfield and Seebers were spending
the night. Both men and the woman
were seized, ,and in spite OF their piteous
pleas not to be whipped, were taken to
the woods, stripped and tied to trees.
The men were given 125 laShes each, the
elastic switches cutting into the flesh
and drawing blood at every stroke. The
men tainted several times, but water
was thrown upon them and they were
resuscitated only to De again lashed.
The women, tied to tree near by, wit
messed all this, and was frightened al
most into insensibility. She begged
piteously that she be spared, but the
"White Caps" were mercileSS. At the
end of twenty-five lashes the wretched
women was apparently in dead faint,
and was spared further torture. When
the victims were united they fell to the
ground and were left there. The
"White Caps" then rode away to the
residences of other disreputableS to no
tify them to leave the country or take
the consequences. Several people who
have been warned have fled.

A WIDOWS RIGHTS.
An Important Case Decided at

Fargo.
Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Dak., April 1S.-In the pro-
bate court to-day Judge Roberts rem
dered his decision on the petition of the
administrator of Clayton Miller estate
for decree of final distribution, and the
petition of Eudocia q. Miller to be allot-
ted her interest in said estate. This case
is one of great interest, both on account
of the amount involved and the princi-
pie. Clayton Miller was q resident of
and died in the state of Kentucky, leav-
ing an estate there and lands in Cass
county, Dak., valued at $4,000 or over.
He gave the widow no part of the Cass
county lands by the terms of the will.
She renounced the will after it was ad-
mitted to probate in Kentucky and
elected to take, as she thought no will
had been made, and did so take in Ken
lucky, but subsequently, on the pr0bat-
ing of the will in Cass county, the
administrator sought to have the estate
distributed to the other diyisees and
legatees without giving the widow
any part. She thereupOn asked the
court to recognize her rights and to give
her share in the Dakota lands. This
the court did in the decision to-day,
holding that she is entitled to a one
third interest as though no will had
ever been made.
