meeting yesterday. The personal tax
collectors have stirred up the delin-
quents, and a number of them were in
looking up their taxes.
Reports from Fargo are that the En-
forcement League has a new spotter at
work there. Their former standby was
Bell, but he got discouraged here, and
announced his intention of quitting the
business, and he appears to have done it.

worthless check in this city, and was
afterwards arrested and placed in jailin
Mandan for the same o%ffense, was ar

Mandan yesterday, and plead guilty to
obtaining money under false pretenses.
He has not yet been sentenced.
The ladies of the Episcopal church
served supper to a large number of per-
sons last night. The supper was an ex-
cellent one, and such was the appreci.
alton of its patrons that long before the
hour set for closing, the supply of edi-
bles had been exhausted. The suppers
given by the ladies of the church are
popular always because of their uni
form excellence.
Weather experts in the locality are
specializing as to whether or not winter
has set in. The first fall Of snow was a
heavy one, and not much of it has gone
off. Those acquainted and experienced
with Slope weather look for a change

tending settlers. The railroads have
done much to open up parts Of the
northwest, and the settlement of dis
puted land grants in these states will
have a good effect in inducing immigra-
ton. The question is one of import
ance, and the North Dakota delegates
to the convention, if they see properly
to the interests of North Dakota, will
have no small task to perform.

THE ROW IN THE ElKS.
All Differences Expected to Be Adjust
ed at the Buffalo Meeting.

All Differences Expected to Be Adjust
ed at the Buffalo Meeting.
Cleveland, April 23.-The officers of
the grand lodge of the order of Elks
said today:
indications are that the friction
which has existed in the order of Elks
during the past year will be settled, all
differences adjusted and the order be
stronger than ever. In accordance
with resolutions adopted at the meeting
in Chicago March IS, at which both
factions were represented, more than
200 of the 800 lodges of the order have
Endorsed the action taken, and decided
to send grand lodge members to the
meeting to be held in Buffalo May 80.
Grand Exalted Ruler William Friday,
of Brooklyn, issued the call for the spe-
cial meeting stating that the sentiment
in the organization is to meet as broth
ers all questions of personal interest.
There is assurance from leading MEM
bers that the Buffalo meeting will re-
suit in complete harmony in the
ranks.
The Hon. A. Foran, who was attor-
ney for the Atlantic City faction in the
recent litigation, says there is no truth
in the report of the probable settlement
of the difficulty. He declared the &C
ton of the Cleveland lodge in instruct
ing that member of the grand lodge
be sent to the Buffalo meeting was IL
legal, and that it will be reconsidered
at the next meeting. He says the con-
tests between the factions will be waged
to the end, and he is confident the side
he represents will win.

IN VARIOUS MARKETS
The Slump in Crude Petrol.
cum Continues.
SPECULATION IN OIL DECLINING
The Late Transactions Demonstrate tn
Fact That the Monopoly Will
Fix the Price of Crude Oil.

Pittsburg, April 23.-The Standard
Oil Company reduced the purchasing
price of credit balances at it's agencies
to 1925 this morning. This is 5 cents
less than it paid yesterday, and 35 cents
less than the price of Thursday. This
still further demonstrates the fact that
the monopoly will fix the price of crude
Oil, and that those who trade in any of
the outstanding certificates are taking
quite risk if they think they can make
d price that the Standard will have to
follow. This reduction caused another
big slump in exchange prices. May
Oil opened at 1920, and gradually drop
ped to $1.97, the latter price being the
close. Not single trade was reported
on the local exchange. At Oil City the
trading was also very light, the market
declining to $1.97 on the few transac-
lions made. The Standard bought all
credit balances offered at 1926 today,
and some certificates of oil on the Oil
City exchange as low as $1.98. This
also goes to show that some people do
not care about holding certificates at
present for higher prices, while the
Standard is reducing the purchasing
price. The stand taken by the Stand
ard in the last few days will surely stop
speculation i'll certificate oil. Hereto
fore producers would demand certifi-
cate for each 1 900 barrels run in the
pipe lines. The certificates were placed
in the hands of brokers on change, who
would sell them for a better price than
offered at the Standard purchasing
agencies. Now the exchange prices are
so cratic that instead they are holding
certificates, hoping for better prices.
On change the producers will do bust
ness direct with the monopoly, at what
ever price it considers oil is worth.
This will kill off speculation, for,
these certificates, and the STAN
dard now owns the bulk of them,
there will be nothing to speculate with
that represents any unusual value.

NICARAGUA WILL PAY
If She Has No Money She Will
Offer Territory.
JUST WHAT ENGLAND DESIRES
1t Will Give Her u COaling Station and
an Effective Sentinel over the
Nicaragua Canal.

Washington, April 22.-No informa-
ton has been received here concerning
Lord Kimberly's reply to Nicaragua's
answer to the British ultimatum, but
it is believed that Great Britain will
soon proceed to collect the claim or
debt as it is viewed from the British
standpoint. Nicaraguas present plan,
it is understood, is to endeavor to reach
a compromise with Great Britain re-
specting the ultimate settlement of the
indemnity of $4,000 to Pro-Consul
Hatch. In pursuance of this purpose a
special representative may be sent to
London, who will probably be Gen
eral Barrios, who recently returned
from England, after an unsuccessful
attempt to settle the difficulty. 1t is
not doubted that in the end Nicaragua
will pay the indemnity demanded, or
offer to Great Britain in lieu of the
$4,000, part of her territory.
The report has reached here from
Managua that Mr.. Gosling, the British
minister to Central America, declared
in Guatemala few months ago that
England especially wanted some in
terest in Nicaragua: with view to pre-
venting the Yankees from controlling
absolutely the Nicaragua canal" This
statement, it is said, was made public
ly and without reserve. 1t was printed
in the Guatemala newspapers at the
time and high authority asserts that
Minister Gosling has never ventured to
deny it. The particular patch of terri
tory most available for this purpose
would be the so-called Corn island"
the possibility of whose preferred ces-
sion by Nicaragua to Great Britain, in
lieu of a money indemnity, has been
more than once suggested lately. This
island would be of great value to Great
Britain as cOaling and naval station,
and an effective British sentinel over
the Nicaragua canal. There are those
who suggest that if Nicaragua should
propose to cede Corn island to Great
Britain as an equivalent for the "smart
money!" the immediate payment of
which is demnded, this proposal might
be regarded as shrewd move to force
the hand of the United States.
Officials and diplomats regard the
answer of Lord Kimberly to Nicaragua
as bringing the British-Nicaraguan
question to a critical stage. 1t is con-
sidered certain that Great Britain will
now proceed to collect the debt.
The latest information received here
shows that Great Britain can at once
bring two formidable fleets for blockad-
ing purposes, one on the Pacific side
and the other on the Atlantic coast.
Two fleets, nineteen ships in all, are
variously disposed, but all could be
rendezvoused for a demonstration off
the coast.

That PAPAI EDICT.
liz May BE Reseinded SO Far az IT Re
lates to knights of Pythias.

y
New York April PA special from
Laporte, Ind, says: The Catholic
knights OF Pythias of Indiana have de.
clded not to obey the decree from Rome
that requires them to leave the order
as a prerequisite of membership in the
church.
There are about 5000 members. and
they are unanimous in the decision
that, as the church gave its consent TO
their joining the order, it is not right
that they should now be called unon
to leave it. They are encouraged in
this decision by the clergy who are not
heartily supporting the decree. Infor-
nation received here is to the effect
that the question of resembling the de-
cree is now being considered by the
propaganda at Rome, which issued if.
The story is that the particular oppo
sltlon to the Knights of Pythias arose
from the fact that German Catholics
Knights of Pythias were displeased
with the action of the supreme conclave
III deciding that there should be no
lodge work i'll the German language.
The German Catholic knights went to
the clergy and told their tale. The
German bishops sent their statements
to Rome, and the propaganda acted
upon it. The Irish Catholics have
since sent their story to Rome and it is
believed that this is such strongly
supported argument that the propa-
ganda will rescind it.

THE BICYCLlST'S DEATH.
Little Doubt That Bicyclist LEM Was
Murdered by Kurds in Armenia.

Little Doubt That Bicyclist Lenz Was
Murdered by Kurds in Armenia.
Pittsburg, April 23.-Relatives of
Frank LEM, the Pittsburg cyclist who
was making trip around the world on
his wheel for Outing, are now con-
WINGED he was murdered by the Kurds
in Armenia at the beginning of the
massacre there. T. P. Langhans, cou-
sin of the wheelman, has just received
a letter confirming this belief. The
letter is written by an American mis-
sionary in Armenia, but his name cam
not be given for fear the letter might
find it's way back to Armenia, and his
life would be endangered, because he
confirms the SPECIAL Armenian letter OF
the Associated Press of last Friday.
The missionary says the situation is
serious, and danger is imminent. He
saws the Armenians intend to fight for
their liberty. Speaking OF LEM, the
missionary says he has reliable informa-
ton that he was killed last May at
Koordal, on the Alshgard plain, near
the famous pass of Del Babaka. The
missionary talked with man who
saws LEM arrived at Karakalessen on
what the native said was two-wheeled
cart. Two days later the man saw the
dead body of the wheelman at Zedikan.
From the description given, there is
little doubt it was the body OF LEM.
The missionary has sent for three
men who also saw the body, and expects
to be able to tell just how LEM met his
death,

Stockmen Want an Investigation.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 23.-The
board of directors of the Livestock ex-
change here yesterday directed the
following letter to Secretary Morton:
eve, the members of the Kansas
City Livestock exchange, have noticed
with profound regret the recent news
paper agitation about the increasing
cost of livestock and the unwarranted
and untrue statements made. Alleged
conversations with you about a proposed
investigation have been the basis OF a
series of newspaper articles, which have
had the effect of causing the market for
livestock to be unwarrantably agitated.
We can only attribute this, and its con-
seouent serious loss, as the direct re-
suit of the reports alleged to have Or
ignated from your department concern
ing Investigations you propose to make;
nrices of livestock have decreased CORE
spondingly with the consumption OF
beef. and we, therefore, respectfully
protest against the widespread aglta-
ton for which your department. has
been responsible, and respectfully sug-
gest that the investigation be made
quickly and without harmful agitation.
We court a full investigation OF all IN
terests connected with the livestock
market -

Ukiah, CAL, April 23.-A small un-
named island off this county (Mendo-
cino) opposite Bourne's landing, is now
in a state of eruption, according to the
report of an observer. For some time
past it has been reported that flames
were issuing from the center of the isle.
K. E. Meredith, who resides in Trinity
county, and who has been travelling
along the northern coast for some
weeks, passed the island Thursday. 1t
was some time during the early evening
and he was attracted by bright light
in the west. The flames were so bril-
liant that he at first imagined they
were caused by burning ship at sea.
On his return south next day, however,
he discovered smoke curling up from
the island, and then saw it emanated
from peak on the island.

tween $500, 900 and 100000 for Spo-
kane property for which no account was
made. p O'Farrell, of Spokane, is
here trying to protect the syndicate's
rights. The property purchased is four
or five acres near the new freight house
in the heart of Spokane.

WORSE THAN SLAVERY.
A Story of Starvation, Incarceration
and Drudgery.

ana DfuOgery.
Houston, Tex, April 20. R. D.
Hardy, a negro, arrived here yesterday
after long starvation trip from the
state of Durango, in Mexico, whence he
escaped the guards of the Mexican Col
onization Company, then braved the
wild beasts of the Mexican wilderness
and endured the hardships of travelling
without money. He was half starved
and scantily clad when he reached here
ON his return to Union, Ala, from
which place he enlisted in the cause Of
the company from which he escaped.
He is of middle age.
He tells story of starvation, incar-
ceration, drudgery, and worse than
slavery imposed on the colonized ne
groes, which makes the listener heart
sick with sympathy. He says he was
induced to leave home with the hope OF
future reward and af1uent ease. He,
with 1 900 others, reached the promis
ed land some time in January. He
says that not single one of the prom
Uses made them has been fulfilled, and
that there is not one of the colony who
would not gladly return if they all were
not prevented by armed guards of dan
gerous Mexicans and Spaniards.
The homes given colonists were but
roofess Enclosures, with different Sec
lions in which several families and
persons were forced to stay. They
labored from sunrise to sunset, and
were furnished tough beef and corn and
water bread on which to subsist, the
corn being ground by the cooks of each
mess to whom these rations were issued
each evening. No Sunday was OBJ
served, and all who rested on that day
were permitted to do so without the
privilege of eating. The ground was
their bed and the covering was such as
a few had brought with them. Many
constructed improvised roofs over them
with stalks of brush.
They were cut off from the outside
world and not permitted to correspond
with relatives or friends. There was
no railroad within miles of the colony,
and many dangers encompass those who
try to escape from what Hardy calls a
colonial bastial He and four others
made their escape some three weeks ago
and although he became separated from
his companions and suffered great hard
ships he at length entered Texas at Ell
Paso. He is with friends here, and
after rest and food will continue his
Journey.
