The st. Cloud journal Press, Of
Thursday publishes an account OF
the poisoning uf the horses OF JOhr.
.Wincher, of Pierz, by Paris green.
1t seems the farmer had used consid-
able OF the drug to kill potato bugs,
and mixed it on the floor just above
the DAT bin. 1t had run down into
the oats and in this manner it was
given to the horses. That paper
does an injustice to the veterinary
surgeons OF Little Falls, in saying
that the cases baffied their skill as
they state that they were not called,
and knew nothing Of the case.
A delightful party was given at
Hotel Buchanan Thursday even
ing by Mr.. and Mrs. A. r. Davidson
in honor of Misses Eva NJ. AlcOtt and

part OF the evening the young ladies
in whose honor the party was given
entertained the guests with instru-

they proceeded to the dancing hall

Not Enough Ammunition for Bear

Not Enough Ammunition for a Bear.
Last Thursday about noon, while
Rev. Kitowski, Of Swan River, stood
reading an inscription on a tomb
stone in the grave yard at Elmdale,
little thinking about the animal
kingdom, a big black bear came
slowly along side the fence, not
more than fifteen feet away, evident
ly not noticing the priest, who was
standing behind a tomb stone. The
priest was not much frightened but
rather surprised. thinking it to be
a tame bear.
But when he saw the bear making
for the corn field he ran to his buggy
for n small rifle, % caliber, and head
ed off the bear, by shooting twice at
him. The priest seeing he had no
more cartridges, made for the fence
near the church, and the bear after
him. About a dozen children who
were near the church, ran for their
lives to the neighboring store. Just
then Louis, brother Of the priest,
who had been sent for q key of the
church, came upon the scene. Lewis
seeing his brother upon the fence
with but one shoe on, pelted the
bear with big rocks, and thus at
tracted the bears attention. The
priest jumped off the fence and ran
for a neighbours shotgun, which
was loaded with fine bird shot.
By this time men, women and
children had gathered around in ex-
citement. The bear was pursued for
a short distance, but thinking the
second situation, with fine bird-shot
might prove more interesting than
the first, the pursuit was given up. .

It is true that Minister Willis made
{ the demand on the government OF
Hawaii to step aside and allow the de-
posed queen to set up her little mon
archy again. It is true that the men in
control OF the government told Minis
ter Willis that they would give him
their answer when they were ready, 1t
is true that when they were ready thoy
told Minister Willis that they would
not step aside and let the ex-queen
come in.
This is Hawaii up to date, unless the
party OF the monarchy has tried to
take possession by force; in which case
there has been bloodshed, for which the
President OF tho United States is respon-
sible. BY agreeing to the Presidents
conditions L~ilioukalani has added to
his embarrassment. When she refused
he thought he saw n good way to let go.
That was when he. referred the matter
to the higher authority and better
judgment of Congress. But there was
his offer, and the ex-queen's advisers
changed her mind for her just in the
nick OF a bad time for Mr.. Cleveland
and his supporters.
What is the President going to do
about it? He will not follow up the
demand with force. Without force he
cannot right the great wrong" which
he set out to right by putting the de-
PRAYED woman back on the throne. So
far as the President could he has made
his country ridiculous. He cannot do
any more.
The Hawaiian business from the time
he laid hold OF it has been full OF mis-
adventure Tor President Cleveland. 1t
remains to be seen whether there is not
oven more trouble in it for him. He
has outraged the sentiment of his coun-
trymen and may have to answer to the
law. The President OF the United
States is not above the law.
