EVERY white man in Virginia should
remember, when be goes to the polls
next month, that in several parts OF this
State the women and girls of his race
who have to 60 90 the postottice he is
taxed to support, for mali, are compel
led to ask negroes for their letters, be-
cause the repu blicau President has ap.

may be some white men in Virginia
who do not object to their wives
mothers, sisters and daughters doing
this, but, ifso, their society is not sought
after by their neignbors.

THE American members Of the peace
commission say the United States
must not hold Cuba, that was torn up
by insurgents, but must hold Porto
Rico, where there were no insurgents.
If Cuba must be free, why not Porto

full population?

RIOT AT PHGBUS.

A riot occurred at saloon in Phoebu;
late last night. Five regulars from
Fort Monroe were shot, one being
killed and another mortslly wounded
No civilians were hurt. 1t is under
stood that the men were shot by the

which is owned by P. F. Eagan. After
the shooting soldiers set fire to the
saloon. At midnight the town was in
a turmoil, the civil authorities being
powerless to preserve order. After
continuing their threatening demon
STATIONS for some time, the riotious
soldiers were taken into custody by q
detail from Fort Monroe.
PHoEBUs, Va, Oct. 1.-two soldiers
are dead and three are seriously wound
ed as result OF the riot last night.
The row started at Pat Egan's play
house and saloon. While a girl was
doing" the skirt dance, the soldiers
became disorderly. Egan said if strict
order did not prevail he would ring
down the curtain.
Then some one hurled an empty beer
bottle at him. A colder jumped up
and started for the stage with a dozen
following him. Egan fired a revolver
at random, and then fed. A general
row followed. The torch was applied
to the "Rialto" and it was soon in
flames. The fire hose was laid but was
cut.
A provost guard from Port Monroe
arrived in time to prevent the destruc-
ton Of half dozen or more houses.

More Room Needed.

Grand Forks, n. d. - The present
crowded condition of the buildings at
the state university has led to consid-
cradle planning as to the best means
Of making room for the additional
students who would attend if the ac-
commodations were ample. But no
scheme has yet been devised whereby
any appreciate addition to the pres
ent numbers can be provided for. All
the dormitories are filled, and all the
recitation rooms are needed. There
seems to be no way out of the dilemma
except by the erection of an additional
building. 1t is not at all unlikely that
an appropriation for this purpose will
be asked for at the next session Of the
legislature. Lieut.. French, of the Eff
teenth United States infantry, who is
the military instructor at the agricul-
tural college at Fargo, was at the uni
vcrsity for the purpose of arranging
for combination of the military in
struction hero and at Fargo, so that
one instructor could act for both
schools. The university authorities do
not take kindly to the plan, believing
that they are entitled to a separate de-
tail, such as they have hitherto had
until Lieut.. Farnsworth was relieved
last summer.

The divorce case of John Brnnnan
against his wife has developed into a
sensational situation. When the hus-
band entered the court room his wife
threw her arms around his neck, and
the remainder Of the session was
given up to conference between
them, Judge Pollock clearing the court
room. A reconciliation has not yet
been reached, the husband holding out
for divorce. Brannan came here from
Texas, where, he claims, his wife had
him sent to an asylum, claiming in
sanity. She was appointed receiver OF
his property, and after his discharge
a second attempt at incarceration
was made. He escaped, went to Can
ada and came here later.

Five Claimants.

Fargo, N. D.-There was a notable
contest in the land office here. Several
years ago John Prader made timber
culture entry on some valuable land
near New Rockford, Eddy county. He
went to the State of Washington and
final proof was made by John L. Pra-
der, the father of the man who made
the entry. George O'Connor protested,
alleging that the father had no right
to make the final proof and limiting at
fraudulent proceedings. While O'Con-
nor was having the row with Prader,
K. NJ. Kennedy started a second con-
test on the land, and to make the play
good, NJ. Dinner started third one.
This makes five claimants for the
quarter section of land and there was
q hot time in the land office. There
were a number of witnesses for all
sides and there are so many attorneys
it looked like a meeting Of the bar as
ISOLATION. There is some talk of at
tempting to prove the old man guilty
Of perjury

Grand Forks, N. D.-The state drain
age law has been declared constitu-
tional by an opinion written by Chief
Justice Corliss, Of the supreme court.
in order to test the validity of the law,
and the commissioners Of Grand Forks
county shared the expense of such q
suit. The commissioners held that
warrants for the building of bitches
should be drawn Oh the general fund,

enjoined the commissioners from
drawing such orders on the fund. In
Cass and Pembina counties number
of bitches have been constructed but
none of them have been paid for,
awaiting the opinion of the supreme
court. Several have been arranged
for in this county, and now that the
law stands, they will be completed.

In an important report recently
made to the Interior Department
Agent Dew M. Wisdom, in charge Of
the Union Indian Agency in Okla
homa, where the five civilized tribes
are located, says: "The intruders
must go. The intruders have made
the Indians doubt the good faith of the
government and made it more difficult
to treat on the more important issues
of allotment and the breaking up of
tribal autonomy in the nation to
which the individual Indian belongs.
A sound public policy demands the
eviction of all declared intruders. and
any measure of expediency on the part
of the department that temporizes
with the intruder or postpones his re-
1noval on mere technicalities is falla-
cious and misleading. Let all the
treaties be enforced and all the safe
guards secured to- the Indians, be up
held in letter and in spirit, and then
the Indians will make liberal conces-
,sions and accept without murmuring
that change in condition which con-
fronts them"

Steele, N. d. - On Dec. 6 last five
wealthy .Chicagoans arrived Mt Daw'
son, eight miles east Of Steele, in their
special car, intent on Il hunting eNpe-
dition. They had their cur we'll load
ed with ammunition, provisions, solld
and liquid, and all the paraphernalia
necessary to make the trip Il success.
Local guides drove the party out to a
deserted house fifteen miles north, on
the edge of lake. Shortly after their
arrival at the house one Of the party,
II. G. Cook, Il manufacturer who has
his office ut 40 Dearborn street, Chi
cago, went to the edge Of the lake
with n shotgun. Several witnesses
say that they heard shots fired from
the direction of Mr.. Cook. Mr.. Cook
himself does not know whether he
fired or not. However that may be, II
prairie fire started just about that
time few yards from Mr.. Cook and
proceeded south ahead OF Il stir
breeze. When Mr.. Cooks companions
saw the fire they started Il back-tire
to protect the house. This fire got
away from them and it also proceed
ed south until it joined the other fire
which had originated in the vicinity
of MI. Cook. 1t went on a few miles,
and three miles away it struck the
premises of Ebenezar Shoemaker, Il
county commissioner, and during Mr..
Shoemakcr's absence in Dawson 1t
burned up nearly $4,000 worth Of
property. Thereupon Mr.. Shoemaker
sued Messrs. Cook, Tope, Ersandohr,
Gray and Boyd, and the district court
here has been spending Il week on the
case. Alex Hughes of Bismarck and
Il. b. McCluer Of Steele are the at
torneyS for the plaintiff and j. u.
Greene of Fargo appears for the de-
Tense.
Mr.. Cook is the only defendant here.
The other defendants have had their
dispositions taken. Each defendant is
over fifty years Of age. The plaintiff
is past sixty, and the fire practically
wiped all of his property out of eNis-
tence. Mr.. Cook, OH the stand, did not
deny that he set the fire. II was not
asked the question, and the strong in
ference urged by the plaintiff is that
if he had been asked the question he
would not have denied setting the
fire. The contention of the plaintiff is
that Cook set the first fire and is,
therefore responsible for the loss, and
further, that the back-tlre which the
other defendants set out, and which
Joined the first fire, contributed to the
loss Of Mr.. Shoemaker. Almost a
car load Of law books have been used
in the trial. All the prairie fire losses
dating back from time long before
locomotive engines ever set out a
prairie fire has been invoked. The
defense made desperate efforts to keep
the case from the jury but their eff
forts We're unavailing, and the law
yers made their arguments to the
jury.
