CITY OF MEXICO, May 28.--Physi-
clans have given up hope of saving
Finance Minister Dublan, though Il
may live some days yet. Diario del
Hogar (newspapeD publishes an Aca
pulco letter stating that the EsneraIda

Mexican flag and the Mexican govern
ment saluted the Esmeralda's flag,
making it an open question whether
thisis or is not a recognition OF the

1t is rumored that Dublans suc-
cessor will be either eK-President
Gonzales, Minister of Justice Joaquin
Baranda, or Deputy Jose Ivee Limant-
GUS, though there are other claimants.
Dublans death will have bad effect

felt.

NANCY, May A.-Mennir, the
French ex-custom officer, who was ar
rested May IA at Landres, charged
with number of crime, was today
sentenced to death. Mennir is a wild
over with two sons. He courted Mile.
Jactet, a wealthy young lady, who
rejected him because he was poor.
Mennir then engaged in series of
robberies and eventually murdered a
priest and the latter's servant. By
this crime Mennir appears to have OBJ
tanned possession of some money, for
he renewed his suit, but was unable to
soften the heart of Mile.
Jactet's father, who objected
to Mennir's children. This
go incensed Mennir that he set fire to
Jactet's residence and they narrowly
escaped with their lives. The ex-cus
toms officer, it is curious to record,
had not been detected in any of these
crimes and again renewed his suit.
After further interview with Mile.
Jactet, who appears to have been
willing to marry him, Mennir smoth-
cred his eldest boy and later shot and
wounded the brother of the young
lady he professed to love, who had
earned Mennir's hatred by forbidding
the proposed marriage. Mennir, when
arrested, confessed to all but the mur-
der of the priest and the latter's SER
want.

Bismarck Settler: The Indian scare
in Bottineau and Rolette counties has
shown that the state militia can be de-
pended on, even though it has for over a
year been without any substantial en-
couragement from the state. Every
company in the First regiment reported
ready for the field and even began re.
cruitins in the face Of probable service
in the middle of January. The militia
received pretty hard treatment at the
hands of the last legislature, and the
sequel proves that they did not deserve
1t. The very men that did the most to
destroy the militia organization were the
first to appeal for it's aid when danger
was threatened, and the boys we're ready

there was no appropriation either TO,

soldiery deserve something handsome g
from the legislature now in session and
everything indicates that they will be
given fair treatment.

George w. Kurtz, treasurer of the Rio
Cheese company,was IN the city Tuesday
on business looking to the better develop
ment of the company's trade, and the
advancement of the cheese making in
dustry in this county. The company of
which Mr.. Kurtz is member was incor-
porated in July, 1sS9,witb capital stock
ofs2,50O. The public generally is familiar
with the facts of its organization, work,
and success in supplying the local mar
ket with a fine article of cheese; but such
facts will bear repetition for the benefit
OF Iuc Merits outside readers.
A plant costing $1,000, including site
and we'll, was established last spring; an
experienced cheese maker was employed
and on the 10Th of June last the first
product was turned out. Its quality was
equal to any imported from other states,
and "Rio" cheese at once became the
popular local brand. The plant was
only operated two months and half,
however, the past season-owing to the
scarcity Of cream, and to some doubts as
u Iuo success or the experiment.. 1t
speaks we'll then for the enterprise that
in so short a time, expenses were met
and profits realized toward paying for
the plant. This, too, with only GA of
the $50 shares of stock in force.
Mr.. Kurtz' object now Is to dispose Of
about 80 additional shares, which he an
ticipates no difficulty in dong here in
jamestown. He informs The Alert that
the contract has been let to Mr.. 0. G.
Christopherson of Rio, to manage the
factory the coming season 1t will resume
operations May 1st, and run till Oct. 1st
manufacturing 600 pounds of cheese
per day. The plant is of that capacity;
which will be ample, Mr.. Kurtz thinks,
for ten years to come.
II the gentleman succeeds in selling
the number Of shares desired, at $40
each. there will be no further doubt of
making the factory thorough success.
It is conservatively managed; has wide
field to supply, and cannot fail to prove
a judicious investment to the stock
holders, as we'll as a great convenience
to North Dakota consumers.
