PARIS AN IMPROBABLE CITY.
It's Qualifications Have Been Consid-
ernbly Improved

The action Of the French parliament
In deciding to tear down some Of the
Notifications near Paris and sell for
ordinary uses the land now occupied
by these defensive works must not be
taken as an indication that, in the
opinion of the French people, we are
soon to enter upon an era of peace,
says the Boston Herald. The fortiff-
cations the demolition of which is con-
templated by the order passed are
those which are quite close to Paris.
and which played a prominent part in
the defense of the city at the time It
was beseiged by the German army
twenty-seven years ago. But the
French have been taught wisdom by
past experience, and as a result have
planned and few years ago finished
a system of Notifications around Paris
which are probably unequaled for the
purposes for which they are intended
by any similar Notifications in the
world.
A we'll informed military writer, a
member of the general staff of the
German army, has given it as his opin-
ion that successful siege OF Paris
would be, under existing conditions an
impossible undertaking. The new for
tifications that surround the French
capital are some fifteen or twenty

The Sons Of Hermann are not wasting any

with the supreme president of the national
grand lodge. to see what can be done for the
penitent Badger state Sons.
All minor matters were next disposed Of
and then followed long and warm debate
relative to changing the constitution and
bylaws relating to the assessment plan.
No special programme was arranged for last
night but the visiting delegates were warm

Its Annual Meefinr

RED WING, Mimi, Jan. 26.-The nineteenth
annual meeting of the Minnesota Scandina-

The report of Secretary A. G. Rosng showed
the following: There were in force on Jan.

During the year there were 1,014 policies
written, amounting to $4,000, and eighteen
policies. amounting to $4,000, were re-en-
acted. There were terminated by death 4S
policies. and by lapse 467 policies. amounting
to s423 600. Policies were reduced in amount
$500. On JAM 1. 1898, there were in the as
sociation 1886 policies, amounting to 1914
600. The financial statement shows that the
receipts were s148, SO616, and the disburse-
ments SIG, 1920, leaving balance. of $72 oil &c.
The mortuary claims paid during the year
amounted to S67, 500. Peter Nelson was re-
elected president, and c. iLillethun vice presi-
dent. The following were chosen directors:

an opportunity to obtain many of the
smaller supplies of life from the sub

Notifications has been built 1t would
be as though the line of defense for

from Marshfield through Brockton,

Gloucester. If the tide of war was
kept thus far back from our city 1t Is
easy to see that We should not suffer
as intensely as If it were carried on
almost within our municipal area. The
French have spent upon these new

WAS 1T MRS. LUETGERT.
Important New Evidence in Behalf
of the Defendant


CHICAGO Jan. 26.-Otto Klatt, bookbind
er. living at 991 West Chicago avenue was
the most important witness in the Luetgert
murder trial today. Klatt testified that about
II o'clock on the night of May l last while
driving past the Luetgert residence in Her
mitage avenue, a women came out of one
OF the houses which he believes was Luet-
gert's and crossed the street I'm front of his
rig klatt said he heard gate Slam and
before he could see her the woman was al
most under the horses feet
she She reached her hand up to stop my
morse said Klatt. and l called to her:
Look out or I'll run over YOU She made
no reply, but went on across the street"
The witness said the woman had a package
under her arm, and was about his size. Hiatt
said he could not see the women clearly
enough to identify her either personally or
by photograph.
Klatt told fairly straight story and his
testimony seemed to impress the jurymen
more than that of any other witness put
cepted.
According to the testimony Of the witnesses
for the defense which closed its case with
adjournment of court today the missing wife
of Adolph l.. Luetgert is ubiquitous The
kenosha witnesses saw her in the Wisconsin
town from May to of last year Mrs
thompson, of Kewanee, H., chatted with
the wife of the sausage maker at the rail-
way station In Cedar Rapids To-, the night
OF May 70. Aramdadal Updyke on the night
OF June g. met her the Looking Glass
river road near GAINESVILLE, Wis. and the day
following Henry Klopfer saw her near Han
son Park, a suburb of Chicago Theodore
Arndt met her In the Metropolitan elevated
railway station at Marshfeld avenue the aft
ernoon Of July IS. and six residents of Mon
mouth. Ills, saw her there Aug. %. Tomor-
row 1t is possible that other witnesses will
be brought into to testify that Mrs Luetgert
mad been seen elsewhere since the night of
May 1 last.
The defense rested at adjournment, and
tomorrow the state will begin it's rebuttal A
score of witnesses will be introduced to con-
trovert the stories of Luetgert's friends. but
the prosecution expects to finish during this
week.

Lively in the Haskell Libel Suit.
In the case of the state against w. E. Has
kell Witness Foster was still on the stand
for cross eXamination yesterday.
Mr.. Jackson wanted the witness to tell him
the purpose of the Boston meeting, which
sent him to Chicoga.
Regarding the proposition for half the stock
the witness swore that it never assumed any
shape, as he was of the opinion that the stock
could not be secured and was Of little value
anyway, although he made bluff or two
at the West Pullman association.
why do you say you didn't consider the
stock worth anything?'
Because of the first mortgage, the large
special assessments, the bills payable the
fact that the association was not a corpora
ton, all those complications and the posi-
bility of litigation
'Why, Mr. Foster, there was no question
about all that for the stock proposition was
made on the basis of new bond issue, with
all the old debts wiped out" cried Mr.. Jack
son.
That is not true. and you know it, said

Mr. F1annery objected on the claim that the

EPIDEMIC OF FEVER
Causing Great Havoc Among Rus
sian Settlers.


BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 26.-Reports
from Napoleon, Logan county, give
meager particulars of a terrible epi-
demic of scarlet fever among the
Russians in Logan and Mcintosh coun-
ties These two counties are peopled
largely with Russians of the poorer
classes, who have migrated to this
country within the past year or two,
and have been busy finding homes and
erecting houses. The Napoleon Home
stead publishes a list of eighteen
deaths from scarlet fever which have
taken place in that vicinity in the past
two months. and it is stated on the
authority of State Senator Wishek that
there have been 300 deaths in McIn-
tosh county, which has a voting pOpu-
lation of about 700. The deaths have
all been of children Of the Russian set
tiers, among whom an epidemic is al
ways accompanied with great fatality,
for the reason that they have no doc
tors, caring for and treating their own
sick, and take no precaution in san
itation or cleanliness. There is no doc
tor nearer than fifty miles, and he is
never summoned except on the war
rant of the state authorities, when an
epidemic becomes so violent as to en-
list the attention of the state. Not
long ago there was an epidemic Of
diptheria among the same Russian set
tiers, a disease differing a little from
the common form of diptheria and
which was stated by the Russians to
be prevalent frequently in Russia, and
many children died from the disease.
The state health board did not learn
Of the disease and it's fatality until
many had died and tnen dispatched
doctors to the scene. The disease was
finally checked. The present epidemic
appears to be worse than that one.
The settlers among whom the dis
ease exists are ignorant and are said
to be strangely apathetic to the re-
suits of the Illness, believing that If
fated to die, no treatment will cure a
sick person, hence their neglect of the
proper treatment.

LitchfieId Newspapers Fail to Get

Special to the Globe.
LITCHFIELD, Mimi, Jan. 26.-The
county commissioners at their meet
ing yesterday awarded the contract for
the county printing to the County
Line" a paper published at Eden Val
ley, at three-fourths legal rate, which
was a surprise to the newspaper men
of the county, as Fl. I. Peterson, editor
Of the Litchfield Independent, had put
in a bid for the legal rate he agreeing
that the same should appear in the
three Litchfield papers, which would
give a circulation of $500 or more in
this county. Heretofore the contract
has been let at one and one-half legal
rate, the same matter appearing in all
of the six papers of the county. The
claim is now made that the County
Line Is not a legal publication in that
it has not a continuous publication for
the time required by law, it having
missed one weeks issue, and that it
has not the required number of bona
fide paying subscribers An injunction

BLANCO TOO OPTIMISTIC.
1t Is Not Believed His Journey VIII
Bring Peace.

HAVANA, Jan. %, via Key West-In spite
OF the optimistic cable advices that are being
forwarded to Madrid it is not believed In
political circles here that the Journey of Gen.
Blanco through the east Of the island will
bring peace. Although he carried about $780,
600 with him when he left Havana, no one be-
lieves that any important leader will sur
render. 1t Is reported that he will soon
return because Gen. Maxine Gomez has fall
len back across the Moron-Jaruco troucha
into the Camaguey district. The presumption
is that he went in the expectation of meeting
Gen. Gomez. Should he return without hav-
ing induced the principal insurgent chiefs to
surrender autonomy it is believed would be
considered failure at Madrid, a conclusion
that would seriously affect the stability OF
the government at Havana and at the home
capital
