and IA noisy consultation with the artist
terminated In a decision to be taken after
the manner OF those familiar cherubs who
gaze out at one through a hole in n
cloud. The artistic accessories OF the
establishment was limited and the cam
era-manipulator was short of clouds.
But he was a man of infinite resources
and he promptly improvised the ethereal
background by cutting "a slit in a large

John Schultz, a son OF c. j. Schultz of
Racine township, was up before Justice
Blake Wednesday charged with malicious
mischief. The mischief claimed to be
committed was in taking down a fence
across the road while coming from
Enemy Swim lake. The fence in question
is Il part OF the pasture fence built by
George Glover. who attempted TO have
gates and keep them closed, Dan Knight
moved onto the place this spring and
fenced the road up tight. The real ques-
ton is whether the road is a public high
way or not, aud someinteresting history
came out at the trial. John keeb!c, {.
native Dakotan, WHO lives on Pickerel
lake, swoFe the road was a well Travelled
one 40 years ago. Felix Rondell testified
that it was II good road when he was IA
little boy. Albert Barse first travelled
that road 23 years ago, and it had the
appearance OF being an old road then.
Il. =. Owen also Travelled the road IA long
time ago, the first time in 1876, and it
was an old road then. Schultz was, dis
charged, as it seems nothing was done
m~aliciously even ii Knight had a right to
fence up the road. He was coming west
and found the east side the pasture open
but when he arrived nj the west side
found Il fence. 70 turn back and go
around would make a six or eight mile
trip, instead he took down the wire,
drove over and put them mp again, The
real issue is the road aud this question
will b. brought up another way and
settled finally.

FOREST FIRES IN NORTHWEST.
Portions of W Washington, Idaho and
British Columbia Swept
by Flames.

SPOKANE, WASH, August 19.-For-
est fires continue TO spread with fear
full rapidity throughout Stevens u
ty, in this state; Kotenai and Shoshone
counties, Idaho, and inthe mining dis
tricts across the line in British Co
lumbia. For two days past Rossland,
B. c., the booming Trail Greek mining
town, has been threatened on all sides
by fires. Every able-bodied citizen
in the town and mines surrounding
have been fighting day and night to
save it from destruction, and by
herculean efforts they have Sue
ceeded. The flames are now miles
away, licking up everything in their
path. Not only are the fires destroy
ing grand forests of timber, but have
wiped out the cabin homes and sup
plies of many miner, and in num-
erous instances have they had to flee
for their lives. Tales told by the
fugitives of their narrow escapes are
thrilling in the extreme. Three Forks,
a small mining town IN the SLOGAN
country, was burned out completely,
and the inhabitants narrowly escaped
from the flames. The families are
coming into Kaslo and SLOGAN foot
Ore and destitute. Many hundreds
of prospectors are out in the burning
districts, and fears r entertained
that many a one will never be heard
of again. In the Occur d'Alene coun-
try the fires continue with unabated
fury. Miners and prospectors are de-
sorting their cabin homes in the path
of the flames, and are seeking places
of safety. Nothing has been heard
from the little village of Saltese, which
was reported threatened with destruc-
ton yesterday. 1t is isolated from
communication by wire, and several
days may elapse before definite news
can be had from there. This season
has been Il dry one and in 4 measure
accounts for the terrible havoc now
being done by the flames.

NO VERDICT FOR DUESTROW.
The st. Louis Millionaire Murderer's
Trial Ends in a Hung Jury.

UNION, No, Aug. 17.-At 6 o'clock
this evening the jury in the case of
Arthur Duestrow, the st. Louis mil
lionaire who killed his wife and child,
was called into court and stated that il
was unable to agree. They stood seven
for conviction and five for acquittal
on the ground of insanity. They were
ordered to return to their room and
told to report to court again at 10
O'Clock. AT that hour the jury re-
turned and reported Il continuing dis
agreement and we're discharged.
There is much talk of bribery but as
the matter now stands it is merely
talk. Judge Gallencamp says, how
ever, that an investigation will be
made and those found guilty of crook
ed work will be made to suffer.
1t is really Il fortunate thing that the
jury was not hung by one or two e
In that case the indignation would
have been overwhelming and the sus-
picion greatly increased
The trial occupied twenty-three
days and was one of the most bitterly
contested in the history of the state.
1t has cost the state between $4,000
and $4,000 and the end is a long way
off. If Duestrow shall eve be hanged
it will be many years hence. There is
still the indictment for the killing of
his son.
Just before the jury filed in to make
their report the millionaire murderer
said that he expected conviction and so
told Deputy Sheriff Terry. "Put lots
of cloth around, it will you?" he said.
"Around what?" was asked.
"The moose, SO that it won't hurt
my neck" was the reply.

HORSE MEAT INDUSTRY.
Department Officials at Chicago
Investigating.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 20.-Dr. j. W.
Scott, Secretary OF the State Board of
Health, called upon City Health Com
missioner Kerr at moor to-day, seek
ing information in relation to the
horse meat packing establishments of
the city, and the knowledge of the
city department as to the use of the
horse meat on the drainage canal.
81 am investigating the subject"
said DIR. Scott, Sin order to learn the
status of the affair. If horse meat is
being packed in Chicago it ought to
be under some regulation. There is
great danger of the packers using dis
eased horses. 1t can only be stopped
by vigorous inspection. / have COM
municated with the State Meat In
sp~ectors at the stock yards, but there
does not seem to be any section Of the
law applicable to the inspection of
horse meat. / shall have q conference
with DR.. Martin, the Sanitary Inspec-
tor of the Drainage Board, relative to
the use of horse meat by the laborers
on the canal. There is a possibility
that its regulation may fall under the
State Live Stock Commission. SO
long as your packing houses do not
maintain a nuisance, / cannot see how
your local board can interfere. Some
thing will have to be done, however,
to have the places put under inspec-

The Salvation ARMY.

fch bnc hAnSa- lily ~
The Salvation Army is indeed very
like a real army, and reading the
war cry resembles. attention to or
ders." The officers and soldiers of the
Salvation Army exercise unquestion-
ing obedience to the orders of their
supporters, without which great
organizations cannot be maintained
and made successful. Kansas City
is a sort of army center, and just
now there is much stir at headquar-
tiers. The army is preparing for the
occupation Of Arkansas, and garrisons
will be established at Hot Springs,
Little Rock and Fort Smith, impor-
tant strategic points, and Northern
Texas is to be entered at Paris. 1t is
given out that fifty officers now here
will change stations within a month
and it is certain that they will go
cheerfullly and promptly wherever
they are sent. This does not imply,
however, any weakening of the forces
at Kansas City, which is a important
a point for religion as for business. In
deed, the establishment of another
post here is contemplated. The Sal
walton Army is a recognized Kansas
City institution and ismuch employed
by the people as an agent for doing
good.

HER TERRIBLE A
Mrs. Hounsom of Lancaster. Mo, a
Victim of Gasoline.

LANCASTER, Mo-, Aug. 19.-Yester-
day morning as Mrs. Loretta Houn-
som, wife of groceryman G. l.. Houn-
som, was lighting her gasoline stove
to get breakfast, her clothing caught
fire. She had just filed the gasoline
tank and spilled some oil on her dress.
When she lighted the stove her dress
caught fire. She was alone at the time
and ran through the house, trying to
extinguish the flames. Failing to do
so, she a out into the yard and
screamed for help. A neighbor, Mr..
Haley, grabbed a quilt and wrapped
her up, while the flames were blazing
two feet above her head. Only a few
shreds of clothing were left. She died
at 4:30 O'Clock yesterday evening and
will be buried in the city cemetery to-
morrow. Her body was a solid blister
and her hands were burned to a crisp.
She was rational till death relieved
her. She was about 80 years of age.

"The complaint of the farmer is
proverbial," said a gentleman yester-
day, land a season in which he would
not be able to find some cause for it,
would be extremely rare. have Just
come from the West where Ihave had
occasion to visit a great number of
farming districts and | must say / have
never e such crops as they are
having there this year. One farmer
was showing me the result of fine
growing weather and superior skill in
cultivating, when / said to him:
"WeI, you ought to be satisfied with
such crops as these. There is certainly
nothing lacking. You have no cause
for complaint this year.
"The old farmer scratched his head
and stood in a meditative mood for a
moment and then hesitatingly replied:
"Well, you see, such crops as these
is pesky hard on the soil"
