IN TROUBLE. AGAIN.

The editor and publisher of the
Montpelier Pest is once more in
trouble Thi' time the United
States officers are after him for
using the mails in furtherance of
a lottery scheme. 1t seems that
the Post man was endeavoring
to increase his subscription list on
the Louisiana plan.s He gave a
ticket to each subscriber and the
one holding the lucky number
drew a sewing machine, thus the
diffusion of intelligence and in
dustry was encouraged by the
same stroke. We do not think
the Post is morally guilty of
any crime, but the press should
not set any pernicious ex.
amples. The principle underlying
the Posts scheme was exactly the
same as that which animated the
Louisiana lottery. The only differ.
ence lies in the magnitude of the
offense. No one will desire to see
the editor punished and a little
reprimand will appease the offend.
ed law. No doubt the officers
have been exceptionally jealous in
this matter, hut they can be excus-
ed for sporadic activity. Perhaps,
politics had something to do with
it, but we rather suspect that the
main incentive was a desire to
turn an honest fee. We would
suggest to the Post that the most
popular man, prettiest woman ana
latest baby schemes are less dan
gerous, though quite as profitable
as the lucky numbers.

THE PANAMA BoooLERs FREE.
The Court Quashss eli Of the Sentences Against
the Corrupt MsnipuIators.

Paris, June 15.-On the appeal
of Charles DeLesseps and other
defendants convicted of fraud in
connection with the Panama canal,
the court of cessation handed down
a decision today quashing the
sentences on the ground that the
statute of Limitation covered the
offenses charged and that the in
dictments on which the prisoners
were tried were irregular.
In consequence of the dscision
M. Eiffel was at once liberated
from prison.
The following were those con-
victed: Ferdinand .DeLesseps his
son Charles, Marins Fontain, Henry
Cottu and Gustav Eiffel. Ferdin.
and DeLesseps was sentenced to
five years imprisonment and to pay
q fine.
The decision of the court sustains
the contention of the appellants,
and, aside from the defective
indictments, declares they are
entitled to their liberty M
Fontain was also notified of the
reversal of his sentence and he was
at once given his liberty.

Eyes at Weston, idaho.

fered pain, or having seen others
suffer from the effects of an op-
operation, he is very apt to
conclude that that thing can
not be done without giving pain.
Nine.tenths of the adult pop
ulation of the country have ex-
perienced the excruciating pain of
having a tooth extracted but we
saw that operation performed with
out the slightest pain to the pat
lent. While taking dinner at a
friends house in Weston, Idaho,
last Monday, we were invited by
DR.. A. A. Garfield, a dentist now
located at Malad to step into an
adjoining room and see him extract
teeth without pain. A gentleman
from Franklin occupied the dental
chair and while the doctor was
getting ready he explained to US
that six doctors had tried to relieve
him of two rebellious molars, but
each had utterly failed. He suf-
fered from one tooth such terrible
agony that he undertook to get
it out himself by gouging it out
with a three cornered file. In
that way he got out a few splinters.
On another occasion he fastened a
piece of copper wire to the tooth,
tied an axe handle to the other
end, and then struck the handle
with a heavy hammer. Several
times the wire was broken, bat the
tooth remained firm to it's canvict.

could not perceive the slightest

He stabbed and jabbed the mans
gums without mercy, occasionally
inquiring Of the patient if he exper.

around the stump. This he ex-

INDORSED THE BILL.

Minneapolis Lumbermen Want
the Surveyor General Paid a
Salary.
Most of the attention of the MINI cap
oils lumbermen's exchange yesterday
was given to consideration of the
bill introduced by j. L. Wyman
in the house of representatives
yesterday morning. The bill relates
to the office of surveyor general, and
provides that the salary of the surveyor
of logs and lumber shall not exceed
$4,000 per annuIn, and that if the re-
celptS of the Office exceed the expenses
at this rate, the surplus shall be
returned to those who paid it in.
1t provides that requests for the
scaling of logs shall be made in
writing and makes further provision for
the numbering of logs and entering the
numbers in a pass book. The settle
ment with owners will be made on the
The act will be in force on
and after the third Monday in
April, 1898. The exchange talked
over the bill for an hour or so in secret
session, finally indorsing it. 1t is sur
missed that what the lumbermen consid-
cred not, was ways and means for
influencing the passage of the
bill, lobbying for it, in other
words. The exchange appointed COM
mittee to revise the price list. On some
grades it is too low. The matter of ad-
herring rigidly to the price list in terri
tory like Iowa, where other dealers con-
troll the territory at lower prices, was
discussed, but no action taken.

Princess Marie OF Edinburgh and
Prince Ferdinand Of Koumania

SIGMARINGEN, Jan. 1O.-Amid royal
pomp and splend0r, and surrounded by
European sovereigns. or their repre-
sentatives, Princess Marie of Edinburgh
was married this afternoon to Prince
Ferdinand, crown prince of Roumania.
Among those present at the civil cere-
mony, which was performed at O'Clock
by Dr. Won Wedel, Emperor Williams
household minister, were the Duke and
Duchess of Edinburgh. the parents of
the bride; King Charles, of Roumania,
uncle of the bridegroom: Prince Leo
pold, of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
father of the bridegroom; the members
of the ROumanian ministry, the
presidents of both branches of the
Roumanlan parliament and the immed-
late members of the family of the bride
and groom. The Schloss, the residence
of Prince Ferdinand's father, was en-
tirely too small to hold large number
of quests who attended the wedding,
and to prevent any discomfort an i'm
mense temporary house of iron and glass
on the model, thoG Oh OH much smaller
scale, OF the Cry stal paldce Ill LOHuOn,
was erected. and in this building the
wedding celebrations took place. Here
Prince Ferdinand and Princess Marie
gave reception which lasted long
time to all the guests and the various
deputations that had travelled to Sig
maringen 10 offer their congratulations.
The marriage is likely to have an i'm
portant bearing on political affairs in
the Balkans, and consequently it is a
ma liter of moment to all the European
nations. Princess Marie is half Rus
sian, her mother being the
Grand Duchess Marie AleXan-
derowna, only daughter OF Gar
Alexander Ill. Princess Marie is
said to be Russian in her tendencies,
and, as her character is amuch stronger
one tina n her husbands, her influence
before and after she reaches the
throne will be eXerted in favor
Of Russia. 1t is stated that
to prevent the possibility of a
direct heir being born to succeed to the
throne of Roumania, which would pre-
vent his daughter becoming queen, the
Duke of Edinburgh secured the written
consent of King Charles not to marry
again in the event of Queen Elizabetn's
death.

PARIS, Jan. 1O-The French ministry
resigned today owing to the differences
in the cabinet on the arrest of sex- Min
lister of Public Works Baihut and other
matters. President Carnot then
charged M. Ribot with the duty
of reconstructing the ministry. 1t
is openly charged that the pres
ident and NJ. Ribot are not in earnest in
the Panama prosecutions, and that they
have no intention of bringing the bribe-
takers to trial, and that the prosecution
of De Lesseps, Fontane, Cottu and
Eiffel will be nothing more than farce.
1t is also charged that efforts
are being made to postpone the exposure
OF certain guilty parties until the law
of prescription will have taken effect.
The ministry which resigned was the
same as the old ministry of M. Lou bet.
with the relative situations Of its men,
beers changed, and without NJ. Ricard

istry caused widespread excitement,

election of a new president
of the chamber. NJ. Flouquet presented
himself for reelection, but see
ing that the members of the Right were
determined to oppose his reelection by
every means in their power. and, know
ing that without their support he could
not secure majority. withdrew his
candidacy. The Republican group then
nominated NJ. CaSimer-Perier for the
Office, and he was elected.
The new cabinet organized by M.
Ribot is as follows: NJ. Ribot, premier
and minister Of the interior; M.
Devele, foreign affairs; NJ. Tier
rard. finance; M. Bourgeois, justice
Gen. Lodilson, war; NJ, Burdeau, col
onies and marine; NJ. Dupoy, instruc-
ton; M. Vigera, agriculture; M.
Siegfried, commerce; M. Viette,
works. The most notable diff
ference between this cabinet
and Its predecessor is shown by the alb
sence of NJ. Defreycinet and Nj. Loubet.
M. Loubet's lukewarmness as regards
the investigation of the Panama scandal
has been ill-concealed. In fact. he has
declared in newspaper interview that
the deputies had rushed into the inquiry
with reprehensible recklessness of con-
sequence.
At II o'clock this evening it was
learned that Nj. Bordeaux has refused
the ministry of marine and that the
portfolio probably would be offered to
Admiral Gervais.

Horace W. Pratt died last evening at
his residence, sol Fourth avenue south.
Mr.. Pratt had been confined to his
house for couple of weeks.
His associates at the chamber of COM
merce knew that he was indisposed, but
expected that he would be out in few
days. Monday they were surprised and
shocked to hear that his condition was
critical. Monday afternoon three ply
sicians in consultation decided that he
could not live many hours. He
passed Monday night in compare
tive comfort. slept and seemed
much cetter yesterday morning. AL
day he continued to improve appar-
entity. Yesterday afternoon his phySi-
clans had hopes that he would recover
from this attack. Early last evening,
however, he began to sink. A little
before o'clock he passed away.
Brights disease was his melady.
Mr. Pratt was about tifty-tive years
old. His life, all of which has been
spent in Minnesota since he reached
manhood, has been the uneventful,
smoothly flowing life of the hon
orable man of business. He began
life as school teacher. Then he prac-
ticed law. The law was deserted for
the grain trade. Mr.. Pratt settled in
Owatonna as long ago as 1856. He dealt
in grain there and in Faribault till 1883.
In that year he removed to Minneapolis.
In this city he organized the firm of
Pratt, Porter IL Morton, which after
ward became Pratt q Porter. This firm
is still in existence, though represented
in other elevator companies. Mr.. Pratt
was president Of the Minneapolis Ele-
vator company and vice president Of the
Empire andAllianceEleVatOr companies.
He was largely interested in many Min
neapoliS business institutions, particu-
larly in the Pettijohn Breakfast Food
company. He was a director in the
First National bank. He has served as
president Of the state agricultural So
ciety. He was also one of the pro-
moters of the Minnehaha driving park
enterprise and enthusiastic admtrer Of
fine horses. Mr.. Pratt never mingled
actively in political struggles, but he
was such a we'll known, solid, SubStan-
tial, honorable business man that Office
frequently sought him. He has been
urged to accept nomination for
mayor on the Democratic ticket, but
the honor of public Office had no attrac
ton for him.
Nh Pratt's family consisted of wife,
one son and one daughter. The funeral
arrangements have not yet been per-
fected.

lations between Baron de Reinach and

Baron Reinach was keen after deposits

ness to invest his capital for the pur-

money which he did not retain as re-
muneration?'
Il did not know, and ] did not wish to
know, exactly where he disbursed the
money. knew only that the money
was to be spent for the canal"
When the presiding judge insisted
tibet full light be thrown on one trans
action. NJ. de Lesseps closed his lips
firmly, leaned forward and after a mo-
ment's hesitation spoke out clearly into
the oppressive silence of the court room:
when the lottery bill had been laid
on the table, NJ. Baihut asked for 1000
900 francs to be paid to him in INSTALL
ments between the introduction and the
adoption of the bill. OF this sum $4,000
francs were paid to M. Baihut. Then
the bill was withdrawn, and nothing
more was paid to him."
M. de Lesseps paused a moment after
giving this dana ging evidence against
the ex-minlsler of public works. No
body spoke or stirred. He looked fiXedly
at the judges and added: "Only when
the knife was put to my throat did pay
this money. l was like man giving
up his watch to highwayman."
In conclusion M. de Lesseps said that
the Panama directors were aware how
all the sums of which he had spoken
had been distributed. AT the end of
his testimony court was adjourned and

the state of his health. was included
today as one of the defendants with
Charles de Lesseps, Fontane, Gotta and
Eiffel, accused of completely in the Pan
anna canal frauds. The trial was opened
in the first chamber of the court of cas-
sation. as the court of appeal is called,
M. Perivier presiding.
Charles de Lesseps was the first
brought in. He was pale but collected,
and answered all questions with Slow,
painstaking precision. He made long
statement first as to the organization
of the Panama company. The
prisoner was questioned closely as
to the relations Of the American
Panama Canal company to the company.
He said that 100000 francs HAD been
placed at the disposal of the American
committeeman, and that every assist
ance was so valuable that 1t would prob
ably have warranted the expenditures
of a still larger amount. De LeSSeps
made this statement:
