Whole Family Of Indians Murdered

reached Helena of a ghastly discovery
made last week ON Sun river. A few
months ago family of Flathead Indians
LETT their reservation, crossed the. noun.
talns and went into the Sun river conn.
try to hunt. They were seen by one of
their relatives, half-breed living on
Sun river, when they first arrived. Last
week this half-breed found one of their
ponies in the possession of a white man.
who claimed that he had purchased
the animal at Sun river. The half
breed was satisfied that something was
wrong, and at once began a search for
his relatives. After hunting two or
three days he found their camp, which
had been burned, and in it the cbarred
remains of his relatives, a family of
three or four. There is no doubt they
were robbed of their horses and outfit
and murdered. The half at once

A ROYAL WEDDING.
Nuptisls Of the Earl Of Fife and Princes
- Lonike of Wales Celebrated.

Nuptials of the Earl of Fife and Princess
- Louixe of Wales Celebrated.
LONDON, July Co.. Notwithstanding
the t1own-ponring rain, the crowds that
filed the streets approaching Bucking-
ham palace all the morning were enor-
nous, and each carriage that arrived,
bringing favored guests to witness the
marriage of Princess Louise to the Earl
of Fife, was eagerly scanned by the re-
spectful throng. The X -
Popularity of the Marriage
of the Prince of Wales eldest daughter
to British subject is plainly evident
from the tone Of the newspapers, from
the satisfaction with which the an
nouncement Of it has been received, but
above all from the respect and loyalty of
the typical London crowd that gathered
outside the charmed precincts of the
royal chapel to lend their humble par
ticipation in the grand wedding. Owing
to the limited space of the chapel at
Buckingham palace, the number of those
who could be present at the marriage
was limited. 1t included but few out
side the royal house and visiting royalty.
Among those present were the Queen,
the King of Denmark, tho King Of
Greece, the Prince and Princess of Wales,
Prince Albert VictLr of Wales, Prince
George of Wales, Princess Alexandria
aad Maude, the Duke and Duchess of
Edinburgh, the Duke of Cambridge, the
Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry of
Battenburg and Lord Salisbury.
The Prince of Wales gave the bride
away, and in accordance with the an.
cient usage the queen formally signifed
her assent. The
Marriage Was Solemnized
By the Archbishop of Canterbury assist
ed by the Bishop of London, the Dean of
Windsor, Rev. DR.. Worthirgton, chap
lain in ordinary to the queen, and Rev.
F. J. Herve. After the ceremony the
bridal party drove to the Marlborough
house, the Prince of Wales residence,
where the wedding breakfast was given.
Here the presents, on exhibition in grand
profusion, were inspected by the guests.
AS the bridal party emerged from Buck
ingham palace after the wedding to pro-
cead to Marlborough house, the im-
mense crowds outside were forced to
give. and space of two thousand yards
was cleared by a detachment of the roy
al artillery and horse guards, who were
on duty.
The Crowd Cheered Enthusiastically
as the newly married couple drove
through. and the Prince and Princess of
Wales received the same ovation. The
same guests who were present at the
ceremony partook of the breakfast.
Toasts were drunk to the bride and
groom and to the queen and also to the
Prince and Princess of Wales. The
Earl and his bride will spend their hon.
eymoon in Scotland. Among the guests
in the palace whom the chapel would
not contain were many cabinet minis
ters. MIR. Gladstone was also present.

Three Infians Said to Havo Bcen Killed
in Drunken Row at Mile Lacs.
PRINCETON, July 31.-The Indians at
Mile Lacs received fresh consignmentso of
tire-water from Mora and Little Falls
last week, and the result was a big
di unk. Last Thursday three Indians
stopped at the Rum River trading post
to have their wounds dressed. One of
them could not walk alone. His face
was cut and hacked in half dozen
places, and he was seriously stabbed in
the abdomen. It is reported at the
trading post that three Indians were
killed in the drunken fracas. No whites
were n1olested. Whisky will effect the
removal of the Mile Lacs band for good
in few years.

AFRAID OF WAR.
A Reason Found for the Rush of European
Capital to America

a Reason Found for the Rush of European
Capital to America.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-An interest,"
ing story is current here which pretends
to explain the recent rush of European
capital for investment in American en-
terprises 1t is said that a young En-
glishman lately appeared in Washington
empowered to invest large sums for a
London syndicate in city real estate.
Finding the object of his expedition de-
feated by the alien land law, he pre-
pared to leave, since he could not do the
business he came for. He talked of his
mission rather more freely than similar
agents who have visited other parts Of the
country. He said the foreign capital
seeking investment in this country on
so large scale was not all English, nor.
indeed, much of it, except such as was
withdrawn from investment in other
foreign countries. 1t came from
nearly all the countries of continental
Europe, whose capitalists were seeking
to place their money abroad in anticipa-
tion of great war on the continent.
Such war would not only depreciate
values and imperil fixed capital at
home. but it would increase the trade
and revive the industry of this country.
Capital invested here would not only
escape the perils of war, but would reap
larger return. The story is not very
well authenticated, but it has flavor Of
plausibility.

MILWAUKEE,, July 31.-A flash of
lightning out of a clear sky can cause no
greater sensation than that which pre-
vailed at the headquarters of the ma
tional &. A. Il. encampment when the
action Of the eight department COM
msnders at Chicago became known.
Commander A. G. Weissert was taken
fully by surprise, as were Col. Watrous
and Secretary Pier. Nobody knew that
any such meeting had been contem-
plated, and the result was decided news
at headquarters. Commander Weissert
declared most emphatically that the en-
campment would not be moved from
Milwaukee at this late date, and that
the great parade would take place not
withstanding the action of the COM
saunders of tho eight states who We're
assem- bled at Chicago. A special meet
ing of the executive committee will be
called at once, in which the matter will

bullock chains making roads; others had
the chains rolled round their necks and

may be imagined in climate where the

The HARVEST Is HERE.

There Will Be Two-thirds Crop in
North Dakota, Half Crop in South
and Full Average Crop in Minnesota
ST. PAUL. July 27.-The Pioneer Press
weekly crop summary, compiled from
Northwest specials, says:
Under the favorable weather condi-
tions that have prevailed over the North
west during the past ten days the grain
has ripeIed more rapidly than was an
ticipated, but at the same time it suf-
fered none in the ripening. In the GEN.
tral and northerly portion of Minnesota
all the "ay from the eastern line to
GAINESVILLE to Breckenridge the cutting
of wheat began early in the present
week, and will be general before the end
of next week. In the corresponding
section of South Dakota there has also
been some grain cut. In the more north
ern counties and in the Red River val
ley the harvest has not yet begun, but
in the valley, especially around Grand
Forks, the grain is nearly ready for the
sikcle, and harvesting will probably begin
Al eOluS VI J1lC ll6lQS G1OQuaV.
Southern Minnesota and Dakota.
In Southern Minnesota and South Da-
kota the harvest is general, and in some
sections is nearly over, with portion of
the grain in the shock. Reports from
all parts-of the Northwest are fully as
favorable as those week ago, and from
sections where the wheat was supposed
to have been nearly destroyed BY the
drouth, there are now reports of better
yield than was anticipated. The weather
has been all that could be desired for
wheat growth, the days moderately
warm, the nights cool, and frequent
showers falling. Of course these condi-
tions could not affect the grain that has
practically matured, but in the Northern
they have been of appreciable benefit.
The Estimates
of two-thirds of crop for North Dakota,
| good half crop for South Dakota and
an average cron for, Minnesota are ap-
parently not far out of the way. South
Dakota may 20 better than this estimate,
however, for reports from several Sec
tions show that the yield is better than
was anticipated. Allowing for the dam
| age by drouth on one hand and the ex-
ceptionally fine crops in Southern Min
nesota, Western Wisconsin, and North
ern Iowa, together with the increased
acreage on the other it may be conf
dently predicted that the wheat crop of

Upwards Of so,ooo,oo Bushels,
or ten to fifteen millions of bushels more
| than last year, This opinion is based
upon voluininous advices from ell parts,
! and also comedies with the views of dis
interested men of conservative Judgment
who have been interviewed OF course
this prediction is made with the premise
| that the present favorable conditions
viii have to prevail until the grain is all
harvested and out OF harms way. Ex-
treme heat or an early frost would hurt
| the grain that is still in the dough.
