A KINGS ATTEMPr Ar SUICIDE
Malietoa Jumps Overheard on
the WnY Back to Samoa.


Advices received from Samoa report the
return there of the exiled king Malietoa on
board the German war ship Wolf. When
the king was taken on the vessel he was not
told what were the intentions regarding
him; but on the second day, after dining
with the Officers, Malietoa was told that he
was being tak!n back to Samoa. Whether
he distrusted this information and
feared some punishment or whether
his mind had become affected is not
known; but he seized the first opportunity,
and short time afterward jumped over
board in midocean. A boat was quickly
lowered and he was rescued. A watch was
then kept upon the chefs movements; but
two days afterward he eluded the vigilance
of those on board and for the second time
threw himself into the sea. He was again
brought on board, and during the remain
der of the voyage to Apia was guarded to
prevent anything further of the kind.

SHORTAGE OF $4,000.
Experts Report on the Brown Uni
.versity Books.

The expert who has been investigating the
books of Brown University to find what
shortage, if any, there was in the accounts
of the ex-registrar, Gilman p. Robinson has
made a report which shows that the ac-
counts do not balance by $4,000 There
are at least 80 instances of manipulation of
the books which furnish sufficient grounds
for criminal prosecution. The expert
says 81 have been more than painstaking
in my examination for Mr.. Robiuson's ac-
counts, and he was certainly careless, if not
reckless, in keeping his cash accounts. Rob-
inson, it seems, promptly deposited all
checks received for the college, but the dis
crepancy is in the disappearance of the cash
paid him by students. Then he had sys-
tenn of making alterations and erasures in
his cash book. For instance, found in one
case where he had credited one student with
paying his term bill amounting to $102.50,
On the cash book credit Of only $64.50 APP
pears, and these same figures are subse-
quently entered in blotted writing over the
first figures of S102.50
Mr.. Robinson's salary was $1,000 year,
and as learn he was paid it regularly by
Treasurer Chase, and was not supposed to
deduct it from any cash receipts which
passed through his hands. There are, how
ever notes given by the students which will
count from 500 to $500 in his favor, The
fact is that the shortage exceeds sic, 000, and,
unless the erasures are explained by Mr..
Robinson, it will foot up much more.

master at Cocheton, N. Y, detained his sue

A Franklin, Pa, special says: The bomb
explosion at the Galloway schoolhouse, by
which so many school children were injured,
is having more serious results than expected.
Investigation shows the explosion to be the
result of criminal careesness on the part OF
two young men who filled n gaspipe with
giant powder and allowed the children to
play with it. Eighteen children were in
iured; seven Of them are now in critical
condition, and it is thought four of them
will die The men are under arrest.

Samoan Warriors in New York.

Nine Samoan warriors in their native cos
TUNES, mostly paint, have been brought
from Samoa and are now on their way to
Germany. They are tall, muscular men,
and evidently enjoyed the sensation which
they created. From the thigh down to the
knee they were tattooed in solid dark blue.
They seated themselves in a row on the floor
before going on board the steamer, and COM
menced a war chant which was rather mu-

DAKOTA FARMERS STARVING.
Their Farms and Machinery Mort
gaged and redtt Exhausted

%heNa eAhh = INtiit AeAhdhHAths
The relief committee of the st. Paul
chamber of commerce has presented a start
ling report on the destitulion exististing in
the Dakotas. The report says:
The frosts Of last year cut off the crops
generally, and the farmers were Obliged 10
mortgage their farms for feed provisions,
clothing, etc, to carry them through last WIN
ter. This spring personal property, such as
stock, machinery, &c, was mortgaged for
seed and funds to put in the crop. There
has been a continued drought throughout
the entire season and the crops have been
almots total failure. The borrowed funds
are entirely exhausted as well as the credit
of large number of these people.
1T is imperative that this devastated dis
trict of North Dakota should receive some
assistance Immediately The supplies most
urgently required arc boots shoes, hosiery,
mittens, undergarmeuts -four, corn, meal,
necessary groceries, and grain for their stock.
IL is estimated that there were
nearly enough potatoes and hay raised
in this section To- supply the demand -
This disaster has eduCed many farmers to
the verge of starvation. and unless some
thing is done to relieve the distress there
will be much suffering.

EXPERIMENTING THE SEALS.
Mr.. Goff Says There Is Danger OF
Wiping Them Out.

Charles J. Golf, United States treasury
agent in charge of the Seal Islands, Behring
sea, says:
"Unless effective measures are at once
taken by the government TO stop illegal
sealing operations in Behring sea, the seal
will be totally extinct within five or six
years. donot think that more than So
600 seals can be taken on the Seal Islands
mex year.
THE Alaska Commercial company had
difficulty in getting their 100000 sealskins
this summer and were obliged to kill many
inferior animals, There were 80 illegal
sealing vessels, British and American, in
Behring Sea this year, and they took 10000
sealskins to Victoria. They kill six seals in
the water where they get the carcass Of one.
So they have killed over POO illegally this
year, half males and half females, the latter
being equal to two animals, because they
are on the way to the islands to breed. The
popular idea that seals are increasing is
wrong"

Graduating exercises were held a Monson academy on Tuesday. The class consisted of two classical and thirteen English pupils. Two Stafford Spring boys were of the number, Robert Fl. Fisk, whose oration was on "French Politics, and Lucius F. Eaton, Independence 1T Politics." Fisk was selected as the writer of the class ode, which we give: We have, schoolmates, toiled together
 Through so many happy years, That the bonds we now must sever,
 Can be broken, but with tears. We have borne each others burdens:
 We have called each other friend: But the time for parting hastens,
 And these pleasant days must end. As the future comes unbidden,
 With it's strange uncertain face: We can only look to heaven
 For Gods guidance, cere and grace. Some may stand in lofty places,
 Otners walk among the low: But the old familiar faces,
 From the mem'ry ne'er will go. Forward, all, where duty dictates!
 Now to you we say farewell: To our teachers, to our schoolmatss,
 Friends and places loved so well.
