the season of 1895, on May %.
The .Northland," sister boat com.
pleted and launched Jan. 8, 1895, will make

Thus will the two most magnificent boats
ever built for the Inland seas enter the

between Duluth and Buffalo every week,
during the summer, connecting at Duluth
with overland trains from the Pacific

The boats are 1856 feet long, a. feet wide,
contain state room, dining room, saloons
and smoking rooms. Also 136 first-class
cabins. which in their appointment are

Cause-Judgment BY Default
Entered Against DelInquents.

Butte. May 1s-Judge Mediation this
afternoon overruled III. A. Roots OBJ
jections to the final report of James
A. Talbot, special administrator of
the Davis estate. The objections were
directed to some mining leases. and
Mr.. Root and his attorneys maintained
that the administrator had no right
to give leases that extended beyond
his term OF office. The Judge said he
had been unable to find any authori-
ties that satisfied him that the admin
istrator had such right or that he did
not. and as the leases had been In
force for some time he would not dis
turb them by a decision on the objec-
lions to Mr.. Talbott's report. The ac-
count was therefore settled.
The court then fixed Mr.. Talbott's
compensation for the five years of his
administration at s52,910.os. The ad-
ministrator had made no demand for
a definite sum. but left the matter to
the court to be computed according to
the amount allowed by the statute to
permanent administrators. and the
amount OF work done by Mr.. Talbot.

at him. but missed him. and he grap-
the arrival OF a policeman. Connors
pleaded guilty I'm the district court and
expected to get off lightly. He was
up before Judge Speer this morning for
sentence. He was asked the usual
question II he had anything to say.
Yes. yer honor" he replied. IT am
innocent. / met a man on the street
and he asked me to go with him to
get his trunk and he led me to the
house. He opened the door and we
walked In. and then some man jumped
on us and held me until a policeman
came"
Connors was very vehement in his
declaration OF innocence. but his tough
ened mug was i'm evidence against him.
As he concluded his little speech he
held up his hand and solemly declared:
IF am not telling the truth hope
God Will strike me dead
Judge Speer plainly told Connors that
he was lying. II do not believe that
any man would go into a strangers
house at 2 o'clock in the morning with
any honest intentions, and / know you

rience with your class. / had intended
to give you three years. but / will add
just one year to IL for coming In here

four years in the penitentiary. and as
he was led back to jail by a sheriff's
officer. he said:

It is telegraphed from st. Louis that
are dying from anthrax, and that the
health officers of the State and city are
taking every possible means to check
the progress of the disease. Anthrax
is one of the most terrible maladies that
attack animals. The herbivora are
municated to man, dogs and other ON
nivora and carnivora. With the herbiv-
ora the disease is fatal in few days.
1t is usually so with man. 1t generally
breaks out among animals in low,
damp, marshy regions in warm, dry
weather after rains, and the causes are
attributed to climatic influences, soil
and atmospheric temperature. The
virus of the disease is contained in the
debris Of dead animals and remains in
the soil or is washed into water courses
1t has been known to be brought to the
surface after having lain in the soil for
seventeen years. 1t breaks out after
grass so closely, often nibbling the
roots, thus receiving the virus into the
system. Promptly killing infected ami
mails and destroying their bodies is the
only remedy, as cure is practically i'm
possible. AS the disease can be COM
municated to men by eating the flesh,
using the milk or inhaling the breath
Of diseased animals, it is evident that
