fires are raising havoc with the far1hers
Of the northern part Of this state. and
also with those living in Polk and Mar
shall counties on the Minnesota side Of
the river. Reports Of large quantities.
Of wheat being consumed, hay losses
and, frequently, farm dwellings and
barns, are being received by the insur'
ance agencies in this city daily. The
exceedingly dry fall has placed every.
thing in 4 condition to burn. and
that rapidly. Contrary to all previous
years, the fires this year will
spread in stubble, which, in many In
stances, renders fire breaks useless.
Several Of the small towns have lately
had very close calls, and were it not Tor
the incessant and tireless efforts made
in fighting back, the fire would have
burned them. The scare which the
people Of Devils Lake experienced ION
Saturday night is but sample of that
with which many other towns have met
and are liable to meet in the future, nm
less extra pr9caution is taken.

There has been much talk cot late
of holding a grand exposition on the
state fair grounds, between St. Paul
and Minneapolis, in 1897, in which
the northwestern and western portion
of the United Stated States is to be
represented. Such an undertaking
could not be otherwise than success.
An exposition in which the great
west is represented would be one OF
the grandest undertakings ever at
tempted. The Atlanta exposition re-
Gently held was a success in every
particular, and one in which the
richest portion of the world is repre-
sented, would out-shine anything yet
held. The people of Minnesota can
be depended upon to do the right
thing in the matter.

a Hot Roast.

The hottest ball game of the season
was played Sunday last between the
Round Lake Rustlers and the Brews-
ter Bruisers on the formers grounds
resulting in a victory for the latter
18th score of 6 to 9. The Bruisers
did not play the last inningEfor the
:. that they did not want to
make the Rustlers any sicker~~ than
they were. The Rustlers challenged
the Bruisers few weeks ago. The
challenge was not accepted. They
called them towards and no-nothings.
The simple reason that they did mot
accept the challenge was that the
Bruisers did nor want to have the
name Of playing with baby nine.
The Bruisers accepted their last chal-
lenge with a result as above stated.
We hope the Rustlers will ..be salts
led. If they hope to win game in
he future they had better not play
No Bruisers. - |.s-. ar. =.

Pugllists Would Evidently Have Hard
Time Fighting There.
LAREDO, Tex, Oct. l5.-Rumors are
circulated to the effect that should the
Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight not occur at
Hot Springs it would take place some
where in Mexico. A representative Of
the Associated Press interviewed the
Mexican consul, Lameda Diaz, in this
city. He very emphatically stated that
President Diaz would never consent
to allow the fight in Mexico,
and owing to the strong feeling Of good
will of the people for the president,
they would not participate in anything
to meet his disapproval. The represen.
tative of the Associated Press was
shown official dispatches from the Mex
lean capital of a tenor decidedly adverse
10 the contest and which authorized the
consul here to state that the fight
should not occur on Mexican soil.

HOW IT STARTED.
How the RumOr Of CllVCl; nd
~. Assassination Started.

Assassination Started.
If the following telegram from St..
Louis, under date OF Oct. 14th, is true
it explains how the rumor that Pres
ident Cleveland had been assissina-
ted, originated:
For several weeks the Republic has
supposed that the news sent over its
leased wire from New York was be-
ing stolen. It was determined to de-
eide the matter, and trap was SET
The trap was baited with sensation
"a flake" sensation = President
Cleveland was assassinated. He was
assassinated on paper by the New
York correspondent OF the Republic.
The story has the ring of truth.
About 2 o'clock this morning bull
letin was sent over the Republics
leased wire from New York shat the
president had been murdered. The
william who had done the foul deed
had escaped. Quickly following came
another bulletin that the assassin
had been caught. Upon his person
was found Mr.. Cleveland's pocket
book containing $S95.54. There
could be no doubt of:Athe fend's
guilt. Then followed story Of 1000
or more words. Secretary Lamont
had left Washington on a special
train for Buzzard's Bay, Chief Justice
Fuller was in Chicago and would i'm.
mediately go to Bloomington ILL.,, to
swear in Vice-president Stevenson.
The story was laid aside in the Re-
public Office. Before half of it was
received by the Republic telegraph
operator orders began to pour in
from newspapers from all parts of the
country. That the Republics leased
wire had been tapped" was now a
certainty. The papers that asked
for confirmation OF the reported as
sassination were informed that it was
untrue and were asked where they
got their Information. Two papers
replied that they got it from their
New York correspondents, but the
others failed to reply.
The story served it's purpose. An
inquiry is now on foot and the thieves
will undoubtedly be run down and
The leak on the Republics private
wire closed.

WAS A SEVERE STORM.

Accounts Of the Mexican Hurricane Not
Exaggerated.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 15.-The Pacific
Coast Steamship company, owner Of the
steamer Willamette Valley, have at last
received a letter from Captain Won
Helms, of that steamer, giving an &C
count of the storm which swept the
coast of Mexico, and nearly destroyed
La Paz. Captain Won Helms letter il.
dicates that the destruction caused by
the hurricane was far more than might
have been inferred from the telegraphic
dispatches. San Jose del Cabe was
badly damaged and Mazatlan suffered
heavily. The Willamette Valley es-
capped the storm by anchoring in Mag
dalena bay. E

The Downfall of the Queen Was
Due to Opposition to a Mod
ern Army. s.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-1nformatio1
of the formidable uprising in Korea, re-
sulting in the disappearance and prob
able death Of the queen and the landing
OF military forces by the United States
and European powers has been received
by Minister Kurino of Japan from the
foreign office at Toxic. It is quite SEN
sational, indicating the landing Of ma.
rines by Russia, the United States and
probably Great Britain.
The latest dispatch to Minister Ku-
rino states that force of Russian ma
r;ues, 40 in number, has been landed.
Thus far they have confined themselves
to guarding the Russian legation at
Seoul. United States marines were
landed from the Yorktown to the num-
Der of l6. It is believed also that Brit
ish marines have been landed. Besides
these, the Japanese have considerable
force of soldiers at Seoul who have been
preserving order. "
Objected to Modern Soldiers.
The dispatches come from Toxic and
communicate the substance of dispatches
received from General Muira, the Jap
anese envoy at Seoul. They are dated
from the 9Th to the 18th inst: It ap-
pears from these dispatches that the
trouble had its inception through the
queens dislike of the newly organized
soldiers Of Korea. The old soldiers had
the primitive equipment of the far
East, tpt with the progress Of Japanese
influence in Korea two battallons OF
Korean troops were organized on mod
ern methods. Each battalion numbered
600 men, armed with modern weapons.
They were well drilled and Offered.
When the queen showed her disfavor
toward these new troops they appealed
to Tai Won Kun, a powerful chief, who
has long teen at enmity with the queen.
He accepted the leadership of the new
troops and at the head Of one battalion
Entered the Queens Palace.
The native soldiers fed from the pal
ace. The Toxic dispatches do not stats
specifically what became of the queen,
further than that she disappeared and
cannot be located. General Muira's
report also covers the work Of Japanese
troops in preserving order. These
troops were stationed opposite the pal
ace, having secured this point Of want
age some time since through the Korean
government. They took no part in the
attack on the palace, but after it had
when the native troops were
fleeing and the new batallions were en-
forcing their success in capturing the
palace, the Japanese troops aided in pre-
venting bloodshed and disorder. It Is
probable that some deaths occurred dur.
ing the melee. Following this came the
landing Of United States and Russian
and, as is believed, the land
ing of the British.
