ROSSEAU GIVES IT UP.
Unable to Form a New Cabinet For
France.

Paris. June 20,-It was announced
last evening that Senator Waldect-
Rosseau had declined the task of form
ing a new cabinet. The failure OF NJ
Waldeck Rosseau is due. it is said, to
the refusal of Camille Krantz to accept
the portfolio of public works, which he
considers inferior to the portfolio OF
war, held by him in the retiring cabi-
net. But for this. the Waldeck- Ros-
seau slate was complete.
Poincare and Guillaine made their
acceptance of offices dependent upon
the inclusion of KrantZ. The latter,
besides refusing the portfolio of public
works, expressed his disapproval Of
certain measures which Waldeck- Ros-
seau proposed to take against TIE
generals and colonies who recently in
spired the newspaper propaganda in
favor OF the army. After a formal
consultation today it is expected that
Loubet will again summon Poincare.

Female Fickpockets.
New Richmond, June 20.--rhe latest
sensation in this tornado-stricken town
is the discovery that female pick
pockets were at work in the crowd of
visitors who took advantage of the
first Sunday to view the destruction
caused by the terrible yisitant of a
week ago. These audacious operators
were fortunately discovered within
half an hour after their arrival on a
train from st. Paul and were taken in
to custody. There being no evidence
against them except that of their char
aCters, they were permitted by the Off
GERS to go on promise that they would
leave town by the first train, The two
women looked as though they had lost
their all in the tornado when they left
relief headquarters and hit the road for
the depot, but their sorrow was rather
for lost opportunities than for lost pos
sessions and relatives.
The following additional persons
in the neighboruood of Boardman lost
their lives during the recent tornado:
Mrs Eva Granville Hurd, mother Of
Capt. Hurd; Gertrude Wears, years
old, who was visiting at the Hurd
place; John Niger, son of Otto, driv-

were killed between Boardman and
Burkhardt. The storm cut a wide
swath from the st. Croix valley across
