IN RECEIVERS HANDS.
Plant Of the RusSell-Miller Milling
Company at Superior
Tied Up,

Madison, Wis, Jan. 21.-[Special.1-
Judge Bum, in the Federal court, has
appointed receivers for the Russell
Miller Milling company Of Superior,
naming John Russell Of Valley City, n.
D., and Arthur Miller of Superior, these
being the same receivers as were ap
pointed in Dakota the 10Th instant, for
the cOmpany's extensive mills in that
state. The appointment of receivers is
made as the result of complaint Of the
Bemis Bag company of SUPERIOR to
which the milling firm is largely in
debted. It's mill at Superior is one of
the largest in that city.
West Superior, Wis, Jan. 21.-The
Russell q Miller Milling company, which
today applied for the appointment of
receivers by the Federal officials of Far
go, n. D., and Madison, Wis, was liz
corporated in 1893 with 100000 capt.
tai. John Russell, PRESIDENT Arthur
Miller, vice-president and manager.
The company operates one of the largest
plants in the city and is not understood
to be in any financial difficulty, but has
sought the appointment of receivers
through disagreement of stockholders.
A conference of local stockholders is
now in progress in this city to consider
the action which seems to have been
somewhat unexpected.

CITY TREASURER RESIGNS.

Bank Failures.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. "a. c..
Hangar, treasurer Of the city of Mime
apOlis, rendered his resignation to the
mayor today. He assigns as the reason
failure to secure bonds in order to qualify
under his reelection. Mr. Haugan has
been treasurer four years and was re-
elected for two years more at the last
election. He has lost considerable
money, however, through bank failures,
and his present embarrassment is the
cause of his inability to secure bonds
men. 1t is understood that the net loss
will be in the neighborhood of $500. 600,
which amount, it is expected, Will ulti-
mately fall upon the city at large.

ing the last four years of depression, and
while this shortage taken in lump

haps not an unfayorable showing when

sPANIARDS' SHOCKING BRUTALITY
GuerilIas Seize a Cuban Town and At
tack HelpIess Women

Key West, Fla, Jan. 21.-3eports from
Helena del Sur state that Il Spanish
force commanded by the guerilla captain,
Felix des Gratia, marched into that dis
trict a few days ago. After securing the
the mayor and other officers, as prisoners,
he secured the persons of the leading
women Of the place and then gave the
town over to his rufianly soldiers For
TIE next twentyfour hours the Spanish
gucrillaS had their own way with helpless
" roman and girls. Seven men and four
young lads were brutaiiy killed while at
tempting to protect their relatives. Many
women died from their treatment. Two
young women killed themselves rather
than submit to the insults of the soldiers.
The mayor was hanged in front of his
own door, his wife and daughter being
compelled to witness the execution. The
captain charged that he gave aid to the
rebels. Two of the other officials were
brutally beaten and then released with
caution that the next visit meant death.
The insurgents have set a price upon the
head of the captain, and if caught his
trial will be short

An Intelligent Jury.

The ''crcTner's" jury, says the Troy
Times, is an institution that has fallen
into disrepute in England, and with good
cause. The average American jury IS
bad enough, but the British jury is one
of the most marvellous combinations of
genius that can well be imagined. The
following story, which appeared recently
in an English paper, may not be true; IN
fact, it may be pure fable, but this does
not alter the fact that the "crowner's'
jury in England is fully capable of just
such an intelligent verdict as the one
quoted: "SOme years ago the body OF 4
we'll dressed man was found in a field on
the outskirts of an important Town III
England There were no marks Of vio-
lence, and it was doubtful whether death
had occurred from natural causes or II
the Individual had committed suicide. In
due course the body was identified and
a gentleman who was acquainted with
the deceased was called upon to give evil
dence at the inquest. Among other
things he stated that he had always con-
sidered him to be a man of marked
idiosyncrasies and his brain was con-
tinually excited by his irresistible fond
ness for chimeras Of various kinds. The
jury was evidently satisfied with his
statements and Immediately brought III
a verdict that death was caused by
idiosyncrasies forming on the brain III
consequence of excessive Indulgence in
chimeras,' adding rider that it shonld
be a warning to people to refrain from
that and other intoxicating beverages.
