NEW ARMY BILL.

Berlin, July 8-When. the reichstag
met to-day for the first time for the con-
sideration of regular business nearly all
the 397 members were in their places,
for it was known that the government
would at once introduce the amended
army bill, and general interest was felt
as to the concession, if any, that the
government had made on the original
bill. Immediately after the opening of
the house was concluded Chancellor ven
Caprivi assembled the tribune and in a
long speech introduced the amended
measure. He stated that the present form
of the bill reported the minimum that
the government would accept in money
or men. The governments demands
were the lowest possible consistent with
the safety of the empire. ts4 s}

THREE WE'RE FRAUDS.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 11.--Some
very crooked work has just been shown
up in connection with the loaning Ct
permanent school funds of the state.
The shady work was lighted up by some
annual reports of the auditors of several
counties submitted to Land Commissioner
Thomas H. Ruth. The law strictly pro-
vides that counties shall invest permanent
school money in the bonds of school cor
porations Or first mortgage on good i'm
proved farm lands, no farm loan to ex-
coed $500 to one man, nor shall it ex-
coed one-half the value of the land as
assessed. Seven or eight counties, the
names of which Commissioner Ruth re-
fuses to give up pending investigation,
have violated the law and constitution in
many instances. In one county the COM
missioners loaned $500 on tract CT
land assessed at 933, $1,000 on land as
sessed at $50. In this county $500
was loaned, twenty-five loans being
illegal The constitution of the state
holds the county responsible for the loss
accrued in this way. Commissioner Ruth
will investigate the matter thoroughly
and will in the meantime hold up the
100000 not loaned of the $5OO,OOO in
the permanent school fund Of the state.

II Captured. s,ssa & & G E:ss

Devils Lake, N. D., July s. ID. /. s.
kreider, farmer living within a mile Of
Cando, 'Towney county, his wife and four
little daughters were brutally murdered
at their home by Albert Baumberger.
The murderer is q nephew Of Kraider
and has been doing farm work for him
this spring. II 5f s d .8S#35 3B#55S
It took Baumberger BY his own watch
thirty minutes to do the deed. He en-
tered the house, went direct to his uncle's
room, shot him dead, then to the kitchen,
where Mrs. Kreider was preparing the
morning meal, and shot her in the head.
He then went up stairs where the four
little, innocent, helpless children had fled,
and deliberately shoa away until he had
killed them all. Having a double-bar-
relied shotgun he had to stop to load it
while performing his quadrupled murder.
Then Baumberger returned to the Kitchen
and took potato knife from Mrs Krei-
der's hand and gashed away at her neck
until he had nearly severed her head
from her body. Not being quite sure that
all the little girls were dead, taking the
knife with him he proceeded to their
apartment, and finding one poor little
girl yet alive, while she looked in his
face, unable to speak, yet pleading with
her eyes for mercy, he held her in his
arms and calmly cut her throat
There were yet left three little children,
all girls. Baumberger then went in
search for them. He succeeded in finding
the eldest one, and was preparing to
murder her when he. remembered that he
had not had any breakfast. He ordered
the girl to cook him some meat and pota-
toes, which she did, placed them before
him, and, with OnA foot resting on the
head Of the murdered mother, he ate his
breakfast. Then it was that he pulled
out his watch and said: well, did
the whole job inside of thirty minutes
His immediate thirst for blood was
appeased, for he took his little niece and
carried her to the barn, tied her firmly
with rope and returned to the house,
where he searched until he found all the
valuables the family possessed, "a gold
watch and fifty dollars in money, which
he took. He then saddled pony and
started away from the scene All of
Cando is aroused, and Sheriff McCune,
assisted by scores Of men, are after the
murderer. Sheriff Barton Of this county
started out three posses. If Baumberger
is caught, the question will not be wheth-
Ell to kill him, but the mode in which it
should be done. The only motive Of the
crime was slight dispute which &C.
