Cars Study and Sleeping Apartment
Lined With Steel Armor.
Berlin, March 26.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Cologne Volks
zeitung forwards by mail news to the
effect that there is evidence in st. Pet
arsburg Of the existence Of plots
against the authorities.
He asserts that sums of money are
being distributed to the factory hands
in st. Petersburg and vicinity to in
duce them to join the disaffected stu
dents. 1t has not been learned whence
this money comes, but indications
point to high sources about the court
The fact u.s." the correspondent con-
tinues, the secret police no longer
trust even the highest encourage of the
cZar. New precautions for the protec-
ton of the cars life have been taken:
namely, a mechanism which allows nc
which the car happens at the moment
to be. The czar now has five desks in
his study, which he uses one after the
other; the walls Of the cars study and
bedroom are lined with steel armor."
The correspondent finds that evil:
dence of new plots is general. Orders
were given Saturday night to keep all
the troops IN 81. PeterSDufS ready
Sunday the police were distributed in
force on all the main streets of the
city. The military commander Of st.
Petersburg. M. Kleigels. received 9
number of warnings.
The Beriiner Tageblatt prints a spec
ial dispatch from st. Petersburg, by
way of Lemberg, to the effect that the
karpovitch investigation has revealed
a great plot, similar to the nihilistic
conspiracy with Kieff as center, the
main branch at Odessa and ramifica-
tions extending to the lowest strata of
society. The plan was to make an at
tempt on the life of the car, who was
thereupon removed to Gatchina.

Four Shots Fired Mt Him.
st. Petersburg, March 23.--Privy Coun-
cillor PobiedonostZef, chief procurator OF
the holy synod, narrowly escaped assas-
sination early Friday morning. While
writing in his study shortly after mid
night, two bullets shattered window
and passed close to the Drocurator and
buried themselves in the ceiling. Two
other shots were fired, but did not enter
the room. The would-be assassin was
identified as one Cagowski, a provincial
official. The procurator was unscathed.
An investigation into the cause of the
attack is proceeding.

John Schmidt, the Prosecuting Wit
ness in Criminal Case at
ELK Point.
HERMAN JuRGENs THE DEFENDANT
Renewal of the Fight in Court Between
Children of u septuagenarian and
His Girl Wife over Appoint
ment of Guardian.

Elk Point, S. D., March 25.-Mondav
the spring term of the district court
Will convene, Judge Jones presiding.
The docket is very light one, there
being only one criminal case and only
a few civil actions. but the criminal
case and one of the civil cases are ex-
citing considerable interest.
Herman Jurgens is charged with
shooting with intent to kill one John
Schmidt. They are neighboring farm
ers In the northern part of the county.
One night recently Schmidt in COM
pany with kpute Ofstad was driving
home from town when they say they
became lost and wandered from the
road into Jurgens yard. They claim
that JurGens came to the door armed
and upon their making complaint that
he hadfenced up the road a quarrel en-
sued and Jurgens shot Schmidt in the
face knocking out front tooth, the
bullet lodging in the jaw bone. They
out provocation. Jurgens asserts that
the two came to his place and picked a
quarrel with him, and that both of
them assaulted him and that he was
compelled to shoot in self defense. He
also insists that one of them had pre-
viously insulted his wife during his abb
sence from home, 1t Is known that bad
blood existed between the men for
some time previous to the shooting.
The relatives and friends of both par
ties are taking sides in the matter and
1t gives promise of developing into a
neighbOrhood feud.
Old Struggle Renewed.
In the action brought to set aside a
deed to valuable Union county farm
and other property and to have the
court appoint guardian a struggle
Of five years Is renewed between the
children Of Thomas Olson and his
young wife for the possession Of
his wealth. Some seven years ago
the first wife of Olson died and in
about year he married young girl
who had been keeping house for him.
His children from the first opposed the
match. but took no legal steps to pre-
vent 1T. However, when their father
decided the farm to his young wife
they brought action to have the deed
set aside and q guardian appointed for
the aged man, alleging that he had
become feeble minded and unable to
properly attend to business. The mat
ter was fought in the courts for several
years, the young wife finally being VIC
torious. To further complicate mat
tiers son was born to the father of 20
and the wife of scarcely 20 years.
The children by the first wife have
now brought a new suit in which some
ugly allegations are made regarding
the parentage of the young child. The
case will be fought on both sides with
much bitterness.

reiterate emphatically that Russia does

State Department Processes Ignorance OF

Washington, March 26-The question
OF Chinese indemnitles mas gwen way
for the moment to the more pressing
issue over the contamination of the
Russia China agreement relating to
Manchuria. The latter subject has
reached decisive stage, as only three
days remain within which China can
confirm or reject the agreement. Up tc
the present time neither the state de-
partment nor the Chinese minister has
received any report that China has re-
]ected the treaty. There naturally is
much anxiety In official and diplomatic
quarters as to the outcome, for the &C
tive part taken by the various powers
and the threatening attitude of japan
give unusual Importance to the con-
cluslons to be reached within the next
rev days. The Chinese minister today
had conference with Secretary Hay.

subject OF discussion. The minister
brought no information as to what had
been done in the Manchurian agree
ment. SO far as the United States is
concerned, 1T seems likely that the last
Word mas been spoken, and there is not
expected to be any decisive move or
pIotest beyond what already has been
given. At the same time it is apnre-

But look you what else she is besides
one who knows how to cut and fit gar
ments.
At II she was graduated from col
legiate institute In Massachusetts,. Then
she had year each at Vassar and
Wellesley. After that came course in
stenography and typewriting, then the
universal American girl students train
ing in physical culture and elocution.
Next, to give herself the all round edu-
cation which seemed to her desirable
for woman, she attended a sewing
school and accenp llshod herself in al
branches of that industry.
When Miss Ross thought she was
ready for work, she began teaching in
the public schools. She taught five
years and was specially commended
for original and practical work meth
DDS. From that she served her time as
member of the board of education in a
Massachusetts town and made things
"hum," SO that all cried out to have
her back again when her first term ex-
pired. At length this typical American
woman established business of her
own, a school of typewriting and ste
biography. She was likewise a teacher
in the night school for men in Haver-
hill, where at one time she counted pu-
pills of - different nationalities in her
class. Meantime with all the rest she
learned Latin and French. Then she
began the study of Spanish in a hurry,
to go to the Philippines. 1t is safe to
board, but will spend it in the further
attainment of Spanish.

In "reminiscences of Falconer"
Major Fisher describes the tactics of a
partridge when pursued by tame
falcon.
The falcon was descending upon the
partridge when the partridge stopped
short and fell to the ground as If dead.
He seemed to be lost In the short stub
BILE of the field He was far too know
ing to trust himself again on the wing,
and the hawk bad no alternative but
to take him on the ground. which he
speedily attempted to do.
But on the ground the partridge was
far more agile than he, running this
way and that with great speed. The
hawk would jump awkwardly up and
dart after the scudding partridge, who
just at the right moment jumped from
the ground and over his back. descend
ed on the other side and commenced
running harder than before.
Time after time this was done. At
every attempt the partridge met the
hawk with outstretched neck and rails
ed hackles. in the attitude of fighting
bantam cock. jumping up to avoid be-
ing clutched whenever the hawk struck
at him. In fact. bis whole action was
that of a plucky little game bantam.
This went on for some time. until. as
regret to say, I ended the unequal
strife by putting the partridge once
more fairly on the wing. when, of
course. the hawk readily overlook and
captured it, not overmuch to his credit
and still less to mine.

The west African water shrew has
the fur and shape of an otter, a tail like
an eel and the habits Of an aquatic in
sect feeder.
The panda is very pretty. beautiful
ly furred carnivorous creature found In
the forests of the eastern Himalayas.
1t is sometimes called the bear cat"
Its fur is rich red chestnut above and
a jet black below, the tail long and
ringed like raccoon's. and its habits
rather like those of bear. 1t sucks up
water instead Of tapping 1t and sits up
on it's launches to fight.
The binturong is kind of Asiatic
kinkajou. found in Sumatra and Java.
1t is the only prehensile tailed animal
In the old world. a distinction which ap-
pears to have struck naturalists more
than the detachment of the animal
from all other forms. 1t has a short,
blunt head, woolly, soft fur and teeth
adapted for getting an honest living by
almost any means. Its color is black,
its gait slow, its tail very long and pre-
hensilc, its ears tufted and fringed with
white.
