the fire insurance companies real
ize little o. no profit from, the
business they do in North Dakota.
In view Of this fact, therefore, it
is. not strange that there should be
talk about increasing insurance
rates in this state, for it cannot BIB
expected that the companies will
continue to do business. where
trouble is their only reward. VI
But an increase of insurance
rates would be a serious matter nat Is
the people of the state, who already
pay all they can afford for protec-
ton from loss by fire. The sub
ject consequently becomes one of
vital Importance and demands SER
ious consideration. s.4r
The question that naturally
arises in face ofthe difficulty pre-
senting itself, is how to provide q
remedy. There seems but one
way to do this, andthat is to create
better facilities for fighting fire.
ImproyeMents il this respect are.
demanded in most Of the towns
and cities. and if provided, would
no doubt result in limiting the ag-
gregate of yearly fire losses within
bounds where the companies would
not deem it necessary to ask for an
increase of rates or to threaten to
cease exploitation of the North
Dakota field.

Walhalla, Mountaineer: Last

schley Suffering From a Cold.
The admiral was suffering from a Sc
we're cold. and his voice was quite hoarse.
He began his corrections at the very
first of his testimony. Most of these cor
rections were typographical errors, or
the changing Of words to make sentences
read more smoothly.
In referring to his testimony regarding
the arrival Of the Harvard on May 27

navy, informing him that "all of the de-
partment's information Indicated the
presence of the Spanish squadron at San.
tiago," which dispatch he declared had
never reached him, and therefore, a.. !,"f'
never seen it or heard 1t until recently.
Admiral Schley corrected this portion of
his testimony by stating that neither his
flag lieutenant nor his secretary had ever
seen the dispatch nor remembered it.
He had previously included his first
lieutenant in this statement He also
changed his evidence concerning suspi-
cious movements in the harbor at San
tiago July to read that Before dark, I
noticed in the harbor a good deal Of
smoke coming up"
The official record made him say that
he saw the smoke after dark.

The new s50ooo depot which the North
ern Pacific Railroad company is figur-
ing on erecting in this city is to be two
stories high and have all the accoutre-
ments of modern railway station.
In one sense of the word it is to be a
union affair, for the Oregon Short Line
will have the use of it.
A Few days ago several Montana
newspapers announced that the project
of building the depot had been given up
on account of the fact that some of the
holders of ground which the company
desired to buy were endeavOring to hold
the company up for more money than
their property was worth.
Conflict in Title.
The fact of the matter is that when
Mr.. King, the companys abstract man,
examined the titles to the ground in
block "a of the Clark addition, for the
purchase of which ground the company
had arranged, he found a conflict be-
tween the mineral and surface rights.
This discovery has delayed matters
and may result in the deal being de-

is concerned, as a railroad company

MISS STONE IS BELIEVED TO BE DEAD
Bulgarian Friends Convinced OF Her
She Could Not Possibly Wthood the Rgors of Her
~
Captivity
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Nov 4.-The hitch in the
negotiations for Miss Stones release
arises from two causes: First, the fierce
antagonism by the United States diplo-
matte agent, Dickinson, and Russian
Minister Bakhmeteff; second. the mis-
sionary and diplomatic Discrimination to
accede to the brigands' terms, though
moderated, says Samikov corre-
spondent.
The relations between Bakhmeteff and
Mr.. Dickinson are strained to the break
ing point
The former, being friendly to Bull
garia, does not want his agent to finish
the final transaction on Bulgarian soil.
Mr.. Berth, a Macedonian student at the
American institute at Samikovia, one of
the agents sent to negotiate with the
brigands, considers Mr.. Dickinsons s
money offer as too small.
They say that they don't want to agree
to terms that would disgrace them with
their brethren.
Discussing the amount of ransom Mis-
sionary Baird, purser of the Samikov
institute, says:
eff the brigands get a quarter Of what
they still ask, bands will spring up like
mushrooms, Samikov itself will furnish
many and Bulgaria will be ruined.
The brigands began negotiations with
us by asking twice Miss Stones weight
in gold. Even a fourth of this sum is
preposterous. y--G
If the Bulgarians had either trackers
or bloodhounds. Miss Stone would not
be spending her sixty-frst day with the
briSands."

Price Too Large.
In the first place the company wanted
the block East of No. "a, but one man
owning lot there wanted $4,000 for his
ground and the company would not pay
it.
Railroad officials say that if the mat
ter comes to a ''show down" the CONF
pany will remodel the original depot
plans and erect a building on the prop-
erty it already owns.
This ground has a surface of o0OxSOO
feet and covers the site of the present
station.
Although plenty long enough it is not
quite wide enough for the building con-
templated, but it will accommodate q
very fair sized structure.
Convenient for the Public.
The officials also say that 1t Is the
desire of the company to build the depot
at place where it will be convenient
for the people and that for this reason it
figured on block "a of the Clary addi.
ton and the one east Of 1t.

structure call for building that will

New York, Nov. 4.-The positive con-
yiction that Miss Ellen M. Stone is dead
is contained in a letter which has just
been received from Ivan Raduloff, who
was with the American missionary when
she was captured by brigands in Tur-
key. together with Nine. Rtsilka, says
correspondent.
the mountains into which Miss Stone
and her companion were taken by their
captors, was three feet deep three weeks
ago, at the time the letter was written
Even in the summer time the snow
upon the highest SUBMITS of these nloun-
tains does not melt.
The first snowfall usually comes at
about the middle of September and by
the middle of October the mountain
passes are absolutely closed to travel.
Fears of Bulgarian Friends.
Tt was felt among Miss Stones friends
in Samikov, Bulgaria, three weeks ago.,
that she could not possibly have sur
vived the rigors Of her captivity until
that date.
There was a hope that Miss Stone
might have been concealed by her cap
tors in the Monastery of St. Stivens Of
Sila, which is near the Bulgarian
Turkish frontier and on the Bulgarian
side of it.
So great was the anxiety of the Bull
garian government to do anything in
it's power to assist the United States
representatives in their efforts to find
the missionary that they adopted the
method of searching the monastery.
This search disclosed the fact that
Miss Stone had not been there. The dis
covery was disappointing to Miss Stones
friends in Samikov.
According to the letter of Ivan Ra-
duloff, Consul General Dickinson has re-
tarded the release of Miss Stone seri-
ously.
Consul Dickinson Criticised.
1t is said that Mr.. Dickinson. by his
criticism of the Bulgarian government,
has antagonized the government.
It is understood in Samikov that those
who We're in charge of the captive were
under positive instructions to take her
life a the first indication of reliability

GEORGE WOLFORD HAS WARRANT

Rough-on-Rat stuck Out
in Lumps.

"A bricklayer or carpenter named
George Woford has been frightened by
his wife, Minnie Wolford, until his teeth
chatter or, at least, until he fears with
all his soul that she will take his life.
And so he made a complaint to Deputy
County Attorney Lynch this morning,
and warrant was issued by Judge Mel
son commanding the arrest of the
woman.
The proceedings begun against Mrs.
Wolford are for the purpose of COM
pelling her to keep the peace and not
injure her husband.
All Kinds of Trouble.
wolford told the deputy county attor-
ney remarkable story concerning his
domestic infelicity and behavior of Mrs.
Wolford, and while he did not explain
why Mrs. WolfOrd was SO disenchanted
with and embittered toward him. he
expressed the liveliest concern as to
what she might do to him in the future.
Wolford said that he and Mrs. VOL
ford live together intermittently, at
intervals, and that she was at his home
on Friday or Saturday and had all kinds
Of nice things-pe and so forth-cooked
for him when he came home to dinner
But he grew suspicious, and he would
not eat any of the ualnties, and he took
some of the food to a chemist and the
chemist said it was full of poison.
1.-The poison stood out on it in lumps,"
WOlfOrd declared, while his eyes bulged
out.
"What kind of poison was it?" Mr.
Lynch asked.
"Rough-on-rats," Wolford said.
Threats Made to Kill.
The apprehensive husband of Mrs
Wolford told the official that she had
repeatedly threatened to kill him, and
that she drew knife on him last
Friday.
Judge Nelson telephoned that the war
rant had been put in the hands of the
chief of police. who has a picture of the
defendant.
Wolford said that he did not know
whether his better half was in town to-
day or not, since she might have gone
to Salt Lake.
Mrs. Wolford will probably relate to
Judge Nelson the basis of the infelicity
that seems to exist between her and her
lord and master.
