Reher was forced out, though they al
lowed him to come home to stay Occa-
sionally. A year ago Reher built shoe
shop at Elizabeth, and worked in it at
intervals, varying this with visits of
two or three months duration at the
farm. This summer the family
Received Legacy
from relatives in Germany of some $500.
The family kept the knowledge of this
from Reher, and Mrs. Reher made a
trip to Germany and got the money.
Reher heard of this about the time the
wife got back, and this again created
bitter dissensions, but he got none of
the money. j. ID. Weyhrauch, the
neighbor with whom Reher rode home
Saturday night. came to Fergus Falls
Monday, and was asked about the
events of the night before. Reher
was very pleasant during the ride,
and was going home, he said,
to get something to eat, because he was
earning nothing i'll Elizabeth and could
not get enough to eat. He talked a
great deal on the way about the old days
in Germany, and told Weyhrauch about
going to see his sweetheart and Incl
dents of his younger days. Weyhrauch
says he had been drinking considerable
during the day in Elizabeth. but was
perfectly sober on the road. lie o1fered
Weyhrauch some whisky, but drank
none himself, saying he had had enough.
Weyrauch was at Reher's place Sun
day. and says it was an awful looking
place. with blood everywhere. Reher's
body had been thrown into the
granary. Mrs. Rehrer's body was
in the house, and the two
younger daughters, Emma and Lena,
were still there. The oldest girl, Min
ME, had gone to Ernst Endich's house,
where her wounds were being nursed.
Some of the things which Mrs. Reher
said to the neighbors before she died
were pitiful in the extreme. She said
troubles had come not through her do
ing, and called God to witness she was
not to blame for them. She showed
much feeling about the girls and about
Henry's wounds. 1t is understood the
funeral will occur Wednesday. COffins
for all the victims have been ordered
from Breckenridge.

A Cordaye Combine.

Two new cordaee companies have just
been Incorporated Mt Ottawa, each with a
capital of 81, 600, 600. The two concerns
have secured control of all the Irvine and
cordage factories in Canada. The object
of thus consolidating the cordaee business
of the Dominion is to work in accord with
the manufactures III the United States,
who control the worlds supply Of raw ma
terial, and thereby to obtain the benefit of
decreased prices for the raw material. The
American combine was caused by the high
prices demanded by the producers of hemp
in South America and the PHILIPPINE Islands.
Some of the members OF tne American
syndicate are interested in the new Cana
dian companies.

This site developed that it was generaliy
agreed among the directors to give II up
The members of the national COMMISSION
have been invited to make a personal IN
s%pection of the various other sites 'na'
have been proposed. In an interview on
the location, Hon. M. H. DeYoung, one OF
the commissioners from California, n an
reconnaissance to the Paris exposition
from America, said:
Il have not made up my mind as 20 any
site, But there is no question mat ~ha''
ever is adopted must be large enoug 10
accommodate what we all hope will be the
greatest exposition that the world has ever
witnessed.
Such an exposition cannot be held upon
clrcumscribed grounds. A space OF 2oo
acres would he wholly inadequate. Az tne
centennial exposition We had over l,ooo
acres. and every one who went to that one
knew how thoroughly it was occupied. we
will require enormous buildings tor the
American exhibit alone. The machinery
hall must be at least 1000 feet long and
500 feet wide. The machinery hall at the
Paris exposition was l.2S5 feet long
by $50 feet wide, and yet this immense
building would not contoin the machinery
sent there for exhibition. They were re-
quired to build sheds.
II see that SOM of the advocates of the
$50 acre site are urging q compact EXPOSE
ton. l do not know what they mean by 1t
but a successful exposition must have, IN
addition to the necessary buildings, ample
SPACE for gardens, fountains and Immense
restaurants and cafes where the crowd can
be fed. If tie average attendance comes
up to what it was in Paris there will be at
least 100000 persons daily in the e1posl-
ton, and where there are night expositions
the great majority of this crowd will re-
nam on the grounds and take their dinner
there. To feed such an immense throng
as that it will be necessary to have, as
they did at the Paris exposition, as much
space for restaurants and houses of enter
tainment as they have buildings for the
display of merchandise and works of art.
Therefore. l assert from my own ex-
p~erience and from that of others, that not
less than 1000 acres will be required for
the worlds fair at Chicago. l do not think
sioners but what are fully in accord with
me in hat view.
1.-The proposition to separate the agri-
cultural and mining exhibits from the rest
Of the exhibition by six miles of space is
simply an outrage. The agricultural and
mining sections Of the country will not
stand it. We will not be made the tail enc
of the exposition nor be placed in q dis.
tant lot by ourselves.
GAS to filling in any part of the lake tc
create the necessary space to hold the ex
position, it strikes me as ridiculous, whel
Chicago has SO many magnificent parks
that would not require a dollars expense te
prepare for buildings"

All Liquor Legislation in That state De-
clared Void.
United States District Attorney j. W..
Ady has written an opinion on the validity
of the Kansas prohibitory law which has
cast a gloom over ths prohibitionists of
Kansas. He declares that the law is abso-
supreme court decision. He says: The
supreme court decides that the state laws
now in force have no application to the
subject of liquors imported and sold in
original packages. 1t is not a crime now
to make such sales within the state. Con-
gress has no power to make any act lone
in Kansas a crime under our state laws,
and congress does not attempt to do SO.
1t wou'd be IL singular act of congress that
would put into effect a license law in Min
nesota, local option in PENNSYLVANIA,
After the Wilson bill passes, the
sale of liquor in original packages Will still
continue to be inter state The
conrt says inter state is free.
and the presumption that congress and the
states intend that it shall be free, will con-
tinue until there is a direct act on the sub
ject. All state laws on that subject now
are no laws; they are dead matter. The
Wilson Lill will not infuse new life into
them. 1t is surprising, almost marvellous,
that the American people should have gone
on legislating on this subject fora century,
eud that it was reserved Tor the supreme
court of this day to render a decision
affecting 60 profoundly as this does all
they have done. Blu neither the sineu-
larity of the doctrine nor the magnitude of
the evils results, in any way impair its
validity and force as law"

MEXICAN REVOLUTION
RUMORS AFLOAT REGARDING
AN UPRISING.

Troops BEING Massed on the Frontier t"
Nip the Trouble in the Bud-The Orig
inators of the Outbreak Said to Make
Their Beaduuarters in Laredo-Generai
News.
There seems to be no reasonable doubt
that the Mexican government fears some
kind of uprising, and there are various
sensational rumors af1oat in connection
Herewith, but none of them can be traced
to q source sufficiently authentic to warrant
a refutatlor. What gives color to the be-
lief that the general government appre-
hends danger is the fact that troops are
being massed on the frontier. 1t will be
remembered that it vas on this frontier
that the revolution had birth that made
Diaz president of Mexico. The Diaz gov
eminent is, however, strong enough to nip
in the bud any revolution.
Charges have been made against some
three or more men under the United
States neutrality laws, and warrants for
their arrest are now in the hands
of the United States officials. 1t is most
reasonable to suppose that there are to be
some very sensational developments here
in a few days that will assume an interna-
tional character, and the Diaz government,
while it has nothing to fear, is only acting
to preserve the peace.
The enemies of Diaz say that the law re-

making it possible at the next election to
elect Diaz president for life, will result in
his assassination and a revolution. They
say that some of the governors of the
states of the Mexican confederation say
boldly that if congress can pass a law
making it possible to be president for life
that their legislature ought also to make
their tenure of Office for life. There is no
doubt that the law has occasioned consid-
cradle unrest in Mexico.
The o%riginators of the outbreak are said
to make their headquarters in Laredo, and
agents of the Mexican government have
been there for several days securing the
names of the men. Warrants have been
issued for Ruis Sortonal and about fifty
others. The fugitives are said to be sta
toned about fifty miles above Laredo.
