An omcial Pencil sharnen.--

While your correspondent was talking to one of the clerks of the state department the other day, says Washington letter to The Kansas City Journal, the gentleman in ques- tion touched an electric button and a swarthy messenger appeared at his elbow in a mo ment. Not wordtwas said, but the clerk, with grand air, passed to the messenger a lead pencil the point of which had been dulled. The messenger bowed almost to the floor and vanished without sound. In two minutes he again appeared, and with an obseouiou. salam he handed the newly sharpened Faber to the clerk, and again almost striking the floor with his head he departed without hay ing word passed between the two. That Is one sample of the way in which the air in the diplomatic branch of the government affscts an unsuspecting young man who is induced to accept government salszy for the service he performs there.

FROM EUROPEAN LANDS.
Sir R. D. Morier Charged with Forgery by
 Berlin Newspapers-Boulaneer Candi-

Sir R. ID. Morier Charged with Forgery by
 dacy-Other Foreign Notes.
 BERLIN. Jan. 1.-The Post practically ac- cuses Sir R. D. Morier of forgery. It says: "The wonderful jargon of the Bazaine letter, bristling with anglicisms and solecisms, can not possibly have been written by French man. Its language startled the Parisians, but as they desired to exonerate Morier at any cost they overcame the difficulty in a highly characteristic fashion To effect their object they simply committed forgery"
 The Kolnische Zeitung, which first pub lished the original charges against Morier, intimates that the letter conveys the inn pression that it was written by an English man, and that only the signature is Bazaines
 The Vossische Zeitung says; 'This new ac- cusation against Morier is one of such ex- ceeding enormity that it can only fill Ger man readers with. a feeling of profound shame. Unless proof of it's justness is in1- mediately rendered the charge can hardly fail to have an almost tnfuriating effect upon foreigners"
 The Weser Zeitung deplores the 'palpable animosity" displayed in the publication of the charge, and says: ''Such an odious ac- cusation should only have been brought after careful examination had furnished ire fragabls proofs, or at least substantial grounds for suspicion. Was this broken man, Bazaine, witness whose statements, ranging as they did, beyond all probability, should have been believed without further ado? It is much to be regretted that, the foreign office having declined to speak, the settlement of the dispute is left to the press. At any rate the impression appears to prevail that The Kolnische zsitung was enabled to utilize and did utilize semi-otficial sources of in- formation

More Sensational Disclosures.

Chicago. June 12.-In the Cronin in
quest Yesterday morning John Clarity,
saloonkeeper, testified that Detective
Coughlin tried to hire tough character,
known as Major Sampson, to slug DR..
Cronin. He wanted him slugged with a
base ball bat and d1tigured for life. If it
killed him it would not make much diff
ference.
J. D. Haggerty, railroad clerk, testi-
fed that Alex Sullivan told him that Gro
min was scoundrel and a menace to the
Irish cause. 1t was the impression Of the
| witness that Sullivan said Cronin should
be exterminated. The witness was Of the
same opinion at that time. LIE Caron,
who was friend of Alex Sullivan, was a
member of the committee which tried
Cronin. He was introduced to witness
by Sullivan, at the trial, as man worthy
of confidence in the Irish cause.
Tie Herald today advances the theory
that John Walsh, sometimes known as
John Hanley, the famous invincible' had
a hand in the murder of DR.. Cronin and
that the assassination was ordered from
across the water. Walsh was in Chicago
several weeks prior to the murder of DR.
Cronin. He said nothing about his busi
ness. Walsh, accompanied by Philip
Mccarthy of Chicago, aided in the escape
of the Fenians from Australia in 1867
Walsh was selected for this dangerous
task because of his great strength ant
iron nerves. Walsh was trusted agen
of the Inyincibles and was assigned b.
them to perform dangerous work. Whel

of the famous triangle Walsh was pressed

PRESIDENT HILL AND PARTY.

Busily Engaged With Business Affairs in
General.
Mr.. James J. Hill and party visited
Sand Coulee and have been active
" engaged with business affairs.
Mr.. Hodgson says that the north Min
neseta and north Dakota wheat crops are
looking very fine. The acreage in Min
nesota is much larger than last years.
The same is true Of Dakota. Mr.. Hodg-
son was member Of General Sully's ex-
pedition, which crossed the plains in 1864
and came to the relief Of the Fisk expedi-
tion when they were in the Bad Lands.
General Sully had learned that the Fisk
party were in danger and sent Colonel
Dill with his troops to their aid. They
made forced march in going to the
rescue of the pioneers, whom they escort
ed back to Fort Rice. MI. Hodgson then
went down the Missouri with his fellow
soldiers to the scene of hostilities in the
civil war.
Mr.. Sam Hill has found here many
1 friends whom he had known in Minneap
oils, including Mayor Fairfield, Messrs
Webster and Phil Gibson. Mr.. Hill ha
resided in Minneapolis since 1860
Though young in years he may claim tt
be an sold timer" in Minneapolis He il
much pleased with this country and pre-
diets that this will be a great city, as
can have no rival in the vast region Whlcl
| is tributary to it. Mr.. Hill is lawye
and a graduate of Harvard, but he is
western man to the backbone and mus
become very prominent in public ahalr
in his own state, where the young mel
are now taking the lead in politics, mucl

Selling off Big Farms.

In 1870, when the great farms of the
Red river valley were advertised by writ
ers as evidence of the tendency to mon
opolize land IN the United States and
create estates like those in England, the
answer was made even then that J. L.
Grandin, the largest holder, was laying
out his sections so that he could advan,
tageously dispose of them in few years
It so turns out, says the Pioneer Press
and he is now selling off his rich lands al
1926 to $50 per acre. Grandin has put
upon his home section, where he lives
$65, 900 worth Of improvements. He has
a model farm.
