Mr.. Flandrau started out Monday on
his annual chicken shoot on a special

couple of gentlemen from saltwater.
The party had good luck in the chicken

day they started out. In some way
they got separated early in the morn

and drove to Pembina, which was the
nearest point, and from there they
came directly to st. Paul.

A dispatch from Sioux City, To-, of
yesterday, says:
Divine Healer Schrader will marry Miss
Daisy Roberts, of Sioux City. The prospective
bride left last evening for New Castle, mo-,
where the ceremony will be performed.
Last June the healer visited this place.
Among his callers was a friend of Miss
Roberts. The latter accompanied her. There
was an informal introduction, and during
his stay here Schrader and Miss Roberts
we're much together. After his departure he
wrote from Emerson. Neb., proposing mar
riage. The offer was accepted and the cere-
mony was to have been performed Sept. 10
Tuesday Miss Roberts received a telegram
asking her to come to New Castle at once
She complied.
Miss Roberts is a native of New Zea-
land, Her parents were English. -Four years
ago she came to America and settled in St
Paul. Three months ago she moved to Sioux
City and accepted a position in w. b.. Rus
sells real estate office. She is a spiritualist

tances last night, without success.
Mrs. Daisy l.. Roberts, a young widow
formerly occupied apartments over the

She moved from that number some
months ago. 1t is possible that Mrs
Daisy Roberts, of st. Paul, and Miss

teal.

Roy Thomas, Charles Johnson and Matilda
Wilson, arrested Monday on a charge of re-
ceiving stolen property, were allowed to go
on their own recognizance in the police court,
yesterday, but will have to put in an appear
ance Sept. 16 in court. The detectives learned
that the two men and the woman had handled
a number of old coins. which were a part of
the plumber taken from the fiat of Lewis
Turgrimson last Saturday night. TIL men
claimed they secured the coins from the VIII
son woman and she in turn said a man had
given them to her. Detectives Werrick and

story, as related by the trio, was correct and
consequently the court was requested to al

Senator C. K. Davis, chairman of the
foreign relations committee Of the
United States senate, was yesterday
asked for an expression regarding the
Hawaiian advices to the Associated
Press, in regard to the annexation
treaty. He dismissed the matter
briefly, saying:
There is no question in my mind
about the truth of the first statement,
that Hawaii may at once ratify the
treaty. Why not? Their senate can
get together easily, and they a read
ily dispose of the treaty. AS to the
statement that the United States con

no truth in it. The treaty will be
