STRUCK BY A FREIGHT.
N. r. Train No. So Kills a Man
Thursday Near %
~ Watab. ~.

Tho freight train which passed
Little Falls going south killed man
near Walab on Thursday. Jan. 6.
The st. Cloud Journal-Press gives
the folio wing AccOun. Of the acciden t.:
The engine Of the Northern Pacific
freight train No.. SO. going east at
about IL O'Clock noon today, ran
down a man on the track between
Little Rock and Watab. The man
was distinctly seen by the engineer
and the fireman " hen about twenty
rods in advance Of the train but
though the whistle was blown and
the bell rung his failed to leave the
track and was run down and thrown
from the track, icing instantly killed.
The trainmen picked up the mangled
remains and brought them to Sank
Rapids, where Coroner Bell viewed
the body, deciding after hearing the
stories of the engineer and fireman
that no inquest was necessary. The
BODY proves to To that OF William
Reiding, late Of Austin, MINI. He
had been living about Little Rock
for some time where he had been
keeping company with a young
woman. From letters found on the
mans person it appeared that he
had been recently at Staples, where
1T. had begun d letter to the young
woman. The dead man was about
81 years old, unmarried, and was
dressed in lumberman's clothes. The
body will probably be buried at
Sank Rapids unless the Austin rela-
tives claim it.

st. Cloud Lodge Suspended.

5# st. Cloud Lodge Suspended.
journal Press: The two hundred
odd members of st. Cloud lodge No.
&63. A .. U. W., are somewhat at sea
today. They had supposed they
were all in good standing with the
grand lodge of Minnesota, and last
night they had d very pleasant joint
installa tinn with the Degree Of Hon
or. But today thunderbolt has
fallen among them in the shape Of a
telegram from the grand lodge de-
ella ring that all the local members
have been suspended from that body.
The cause of this mOss unusual
action is found in tine alleged failure
EOf the old financier of the local lodge
to remit to headquarters the last
two assessments levied by the grand
lodge for death benefits OF deceased
members. The total amount short
is something like $2o0, ami until This
shortage is made good and some ac-
ton taken by the grand lodge, the
st. Cloud brothers have no standing
in the order.
Danl Harding liz the officer whose
alleged direlictlOn has caused all the
trouble. He has been anancier Of
the lodge for many years, buta sig
nificant feature of the last nights
meeting was that another man was
installed in his chair. His bOndsnen
are undoubtedly good for the
amount II he is unable to make resti-
tuition for the shortage which Ia al
legged to exist. A special meeting III
the lodge has been called for tonight
when the matter will undoubtedly
Strengthened out and st. Cloud lodge
will resume it's high station among
the lodges of the state.
Mr.. Harding may be able to ex-
plain the apparent discrepancy In
/ his acco 1nts and those of the grand
lodge.

The talk ut three OF the greatest
cities Of the country-New York,
Chicago and Boston-the famous
veriscope pictures of the Corbett.
Fitzsimmons contest, will shortly be
seen in this city, as they will be on
exhibition at the Gross opera house,
Jan. l8. The sporting event of the
present century, beyond all question
of doubt, was the meeting Of James
j. Corbett, "Pompadour Jim," and
Robert Fitzsimmons. "Lanky Bob"
in the arena at Carson City on the
18th Of March last. 1t was an event
of national interest; the newspapers
of the country sent their highest
priced men IT, the ring side to report
the event, and then devoted pages
to it. Special artists were engaged
in order that the general public
might form some ide8 of what hap
pened at the ring side. Mounted on
three long stills, as it were, was q
mammoth machine under the direc-
ton of Enoch Rector, and by it's side
was miles and miles Of prepared
Photographic film. The artist could
only catch at best fleeting glilnpt 0
of these two giants, buC this ma
chine, with it's lensed eye, caught
every movement from start to finish
of the contest. In all Mr.. Rector
took one hundred and forty three
thousand separate and distinct pict-
ures, and they occupy u space of
nearly two miles and third OF film.
These pictures thrown upon the
screen OF the veriscope give an exact
reproduction of all OF the happenings
Of this celebrated contest.

Suffering Gold Seekers.

Monte Dennis arrived at Skaguay
on March 1, says the Eldred Eagle.
He writes that all along the trail there
is nothing but suffering, and SO ter
rible that it unnerves the strongest
man. Thousands of dogs and horses
are tied to anything that will hold
them, and they are suffering from
cold and lack of food, with their
owners. The lot he sold at Skaguay
late in the fall for $3.50 can't be pur-
dhased now for less than 81, 800. He is
going to Lake Bennett, where he will
remain for short time at least. At
the lake there is a steam saw mill, the
boiler and machines for which were
carried on poles by the men who work
at the mill and get the logs in. The
logs are hauled by the men, and
10-inch log is considered of great value.
The stock is sawed into one-half-inch
boards and they are not edged. Monte
says he would have been better off if
he had remained in Eldred, and he
wishes he was back again.

Unfurl Those Flags.

Under the present school laws of
Pennsylvania the boards of directors
are authorized to purchase, with the
school funds, national flag for each
school house in their respective dis
tricts. The authorization is not in the
form of command, but it is clear and
unmistakable. In number of dis
tricts the directors did not wait for
President McKinley's message of yes
terday. Weeks ago they exercised the
authority vested in them and caused
the Stars and Stripes to be properly
flung from the school houses under
their control. Their action was not
aimed at any particular nation, nor
taken because of any recent COM
plication. They believed in the laws
wisdom as patriotic measure and ac-
cordingly carried it out.
The time has come for every other
board to follow their example. The
flags need not be either very large or
very fine. But every school house in
Pennsylvania should fly one from its
own staff before another week has
passed.-Phila. Inquirer.

House Declares fOT
NQT Q| Once.

WHEREAS, The Government of
Spain for three years past has been
waging war on the Island of Cuba
against revolution by the inhabit-
ants thereof without making any
substantial progress towards the
suppression of said revolution, and
has conducted the warfare in a
manner contrary to the laws of ma
tions, by methods inhuman and
uncivilized, causing the death by
starvation of more than two hun
dred thousand innocent noncom-
batants, the victims being for the
most part helpless women and chill
dren, infiicting intolorable injury
to the commercial interests of the
United States, involving the lives
and property of many of our citi-
zens, entailing the expenditure of
millions of money in patroling our
coasts and policing the high seas
in order to maintain our neutral
ity; and,
WHEREAS, This long series of
losses, injuries and burdens for
which Spain is responsible has
eliminated in the destruction of
the United States battleship Maine
in the harbor of Havana, and in
the death of 260 of our seamen.
RESOLVED, That the President
is hereby authorized and directed
to intervene at once to stop the
war in Cuba to the end and with
the purpose Of securing permanent
peace and order there and estab-
fishing by the free action of the
people thereof stable and inde-
pendent government of their own
in the Isand of Cuba: and the
President is hereby authorized and
empowered to use the land and
naval forces of the United States
to execute the purpose of this reso-
luton.

What Will Spain Do +?

President McKinley's message brings
Spain face to face with one of those
situations which strong nations with a
good cause resent by war but to which
weak nations with a poor cause or
none submit, says the Philadelphia
Press. If Spain were equal to
the duties of government in Cuba
the present need for Inference by the
United States would not exist and the
very reasons which have made inter
ference necessary render resistance to
it impossible.
War by Spain will therefore be futile.
Its rulers know this. If it comes it
will be forced on them by the people,
who for thirty years have been told
that America was weak. The Queen
Regent, Sagasta, the Cabinet and re-
sponsible party leaders on both sides
have no desire for war. The real is
sue this week is weather the Govern
ment or the mob will control the
policy of Spain. A declaration of war
may seem necessary at Madrid to avoid
revolution. If so war will come by
the act of Spain.
The furious passions which will be
aroused in Spain by the message rend-
er prediction difficult and hazardous.
In strict international usage Spain can
not notice a Presidents message. A
century of parliamentary institutions
established the principal and practice
that foreign nations cannot take Of
fense at the utterances of a Chief Exc
cutive to the Legislature. When Con-
gress acts and the proposed policy is
embodied in public law, Spain will
have a legitimate cause for one or two
courses. 1t can declare war or it can
announce that forcible interference
will be resisted, when it comes.
Which? No one can tell. But if the
Spanish Government is not swept off
its feet at once there will be nearly
weeks delay while Congress debates
the question. This will give Spain
time to cool and Europe time to be
heard. Europe has no desire for
war. For France it means a probable
panic and for every other nation loss,
large or small.
If Spain waits therefore and does not
declare war at once the pressure not
to take this step will grow and mount
with every day. Each day the in
ability of Spain to carry on war will
grow palmer and the necessity of
retreat will become more clear.
The Spanish people will grow accus-
toned to the idea of retreat. Cuba
will be seen to be lost. The useless
ness of futile war will grow more ap-
parent.
If the Spanish Government can pre-
vent action this week the chances
are that it will be able to control the
Spanish mob to the end.
