The heat. that 18th of August, was
the most intense OF the year-the most
intense for several years In Lit
tie Italy" the grass parched and died:
the leaves of the trees withered and
curled. The low-roofed houses be-
came veritable bakeovens. Everything
was oarched and dry.
And on Timber Creek hill. where
Antonio and his men were engaged
in raising the track that afternoon,
the heat seemed beyond the possi-
bility OF human endurance. The peb-
bles were like living Goals of fire; the
rails dazzled and shimmered in the
suns keen rays like red-hot bars OF
steel. Nor was there any limb or
leaf 70 cast a shadow.
AS soon as the fast freight south
bound, passed Antonio directed that
two rails, which were 10 be replaced
with heavier ones. be torn up. Josa
and another hand applied crowbars
to the spikes and pulled them out with
the dexterity acquired only by those
who have spent many years upon the
section. There was no time TO lose
The north bound fast freight was due
in a few minutes and the new rails
must be in place before it arrived.
Every man bent to the work. but
the intense heat impeded progress,
and so Antonio gave assistance. A
hard worker was Antonio. His entire
strength and energy were always con-
centrated In the task before him. So
he labored with all the power at his
command until the rails were I'm place
and the last spike had been driven.
Then suddenly the landscape seemed
10 spin around, the world became
wrapped in the blackness of night and
he reeled and fell heavily upon the
gravel beside the track.
Josa was the first to reach his side.
Hurriedly kneeling he placed his ear
at Antonio's breast and caught the
feeble beating OF his heart.
"SunstEuck." he heard some one
say. "He will die; he is already
dead"
A sudden malicious hope sprang into
Josas heart and the culver OF n smile
lowered about his lips. Then the Wis
ion Of Corono's dreamy eyes flashed
across his memory Her dreamy eyes
but they were wet with tears!
NO" he cried, "he is not dead. He
must not diet Quick. the cart"
Strong arms lifted the hand-car
bodily and placed Il upon the rails.
Josa, with the strength Of a giant,
gathered the inert body OF Antonio IN
his arms and laid Il tenderly upon the
car. Then he sprang TO the lever.

WASHINGTON, May IA report Of
timely interest concerning the remarkable
growth of German commercial enterprises
in South and Central America has been
received ait the state department from
Vice Consul General Murphy at Frank
fort, Germany.
1.-The rapid extension Of Germany's d.
rect lines of sea connection with our
Southern neighbors," says Mr.. Murphy.
the growth of German colonies there
and the consequent increase Of German
influence and trade, especially in South
ern Brazil, in my opinion, should arouse
feeling of friendly rivalry in American
business circles If we intend to maintain
our position in these rich markets"
YANKEES DISTANCED
Mr. Murphy enclosed extracts from
articles recently published in a Berlin
journal, showing GeTmany's remarkable
foothold in South and Central America.
Among the statements made are that the
German steamship lines maintain such a.
position in South and Central American
traffic that the North American COM
merCial fleet is entirely unable to enter
into competition with them. Not less
than five great German steamship lines
arc engaged in trade with South Ameri-
ca, especially with Brazil Furthermore
1t is stated that in the southern portions
of the continent, there already are over
100000 German colonists and the German
commercial spirit has completely driven
out the English in the Central and South
ern provinces.

GIN COLLECT BACK TAXES
IOWA JUDGE HANDS OUT A DECIS-
ION OF FAR-REACHING
EFFECT
ASSESSORS HAVE THE POWER
To Enter Property Withheld From
Assessment and to Correct Prior
Lists Remedial Statute
Held Retroactive.

MASON CITY. Iowa, May 1-(special.)
Judge S. M. Weaver, of the Eleventh
district, candidate for the supreme cou.t,
has made a sweeping decision in the
Franklin county court. 1t is a censure
of some former decisions by district
judges and sustains sections 1874 and
1885 of the code, which provide for tie
collection of taxes on property withheld
from assessment. He holds that the
statutes, being remedial in their nature,
are retroactive in effect, and will Justify
recovery for taxes for years prior to
their enactment; that the auditor hiss
power to correct the tax lists and assess
property entirely omitted by the assessor,
and is not limited to correcting the lists
for the current year only, but may cor
rect the lists for prior years; that the
fact that defendants property may have
been regularly assessed by the assessor
in each of the years under inquiry, and
such assessment passed upon by the
board of review does not have the effect
Of judgment and is not a bar to the
action to recover taxes on property con-
cealed from assessment.

Tested
The state departments information re-
garding the legal proceedings in Vene-
zuela i'll connection with the asphalt con-
tr0versy indicates that it will be many
months before the issue will come to trial
In the Venezuelan high court. AS there
is no disposition shown TO dispossess the
American concessionaries who are in
possession pending the Termination Of the
legal proceedings the state department is
satisfied with the maintenance OF the
status quo as to this case. There are
however, other issues which may change
the aspect Of American affairs in Vene-
zuela. An attorney named King, repre-
senting some of the interests connected
with what is known as the Orinoc6, or
Faribault CONCESSIONS, has laid before the
state department complaints Of arbitrary
actions on the part Of the Venezuelan
government and the department has noti-
fled Venezuela that 1t expects just treat
ment at its hands from American citi-
Zens and interests. The official mail from
Venezuela received today by Mr. Pulido,
the Venezuelan charge, continues to show
a pacific and agreeable tone toward the

MINISTER GOES INSANE.
Left His Congregation and Became
Follower of DOwieiSm.

SLAYTON, Mimi, May Rev. Mr.
Hob, for some years pastor of the Gel,
man Lutheran congregation in the north
western part of Murray county, was yes
terday brought into the probate court
and upon careful examination adju6ged
insane and taken to ST Peter. His condI-
ton was brought on by religious fanati-
cism. Through the reading of some Of
Dowie's literature and the persuasion of
parishioner, he was recently converted
to Dowieism, whereupon he was deposed
from his charge and attached himself to
a small contingent of the Dowie sect In
Slayton. Last Sunday he was found
wandering aimlessly about between Heron
Lake and Lakefcld. He was taken to
the latter place and put in the lookup by
the authorities He had destroyed every
thing on his person that could reveal his
identity. While in his cell he noticed
his initials on his shirt front and imme-
d!ately applied a match to 1t before his
purpose could be discovered or prevented.
The prompt application of a bucket Of
water by an officer who happened to be
in the cell prevented serious injury to
his person. His hands and beard were
scorched, and his abdomen blistered. F1e
is laboring under the declusion that he
is Christ.

GRAND FORKS. N D., May 1.-word
was received yesterday of an affair in
the town of Angus about twenty miles
northeast, on the Minnesota side Of the

star part against his will The black
smith is John staska, and he has been
at Angus for the past twelve or fifteen
years, and has acquired some property.
For some time past Staska: 1t is
claimed, has been interfering with the
farmers in some trouble that arose be-
tween them and Joe Cowden, who buys
wheat for the Minneapolis & Northern
Elevator company, and whom the farm
ers have been endeaVoring to have re-
moved. The farmers gathered at Angus

postoffice, dragged him to mud hole
and threw him in. He was. given
thorough soaking in the muddy water,
after which he was pelted with mud till
he sought refuge in his house.
