will be romance dealing with life in
Indiana, in the vicinity of Terre Haute
during the time of the Mexican war,
and it will convey not few of its in
cidents to the famous Catholic school
near Terre Haute, est. Marys of the
Woods" The book, however, Mr..
Harrington insists, will not be classed
as historical romance. This he says
in the face of anticipating critics who
have endeavored to predict the char
acter of the work.
The love story is delicately woven
round the lives of girl studying atthe
Catholic institution and young man
of the clear-brained, horny-handed
class peculiar to the early period of
Indiana's history.
Mr.. Harrington said: II will doubt
less hear more from my friend at
Seattle now. Shortly after the pro-
duction of The Gentleman from In
diana friends of mine residing in Seat
tie, Wash, sent word to me that
a certain resident of that city was
paradiny under the name of Booth
harrington, claiming to have written
my book. He was buying copies right
and left and sending them to his
friends with neat little picture of
himself and a card saying that this was
his first venture into literature and he
wanted their criticism. My friends
desired to know whether would have
them expose him or not. It seems that
he also claimed that while he had writ
ten the book was reaping the golden
benefits in the shape of royalties. 1t
did not take me long to decide what to
do. Iwrote them to encourage him in
his pipe dream explaining at the
same time that every copy he bought
was putting that much more money
in nv pocket. I needed the money.
"This latest effort of mine is in some
respects more elaborate one than any
of the others preceding. At least
have worked harder on it. Of course,
cannot say what success it will meet
within fact, there are as yet several
incomplete chapters.
"I have endeavored in my book,
nameless as yet, to combine romance
and character delineation. At the
time of which I have written the farm
ers and townspeople were of such
character as to attract the most fas-
tidious student. I have also endeav-
ored not to become historical, and
think have succeeded to a certain ex-
tent. The life of the story will rest
in the hands of the people in very
short time"

a NEW RURAL NOVEL
Will Deal with Life in Indiana In
y Mexican War Time.
Booth Harrington, Noted HoOsieF
Author, II Now Putting Finish.
Ing Touches to It-AbOut to
Become benedict.

Booth Harrington, of Indianapolis,
the well-known author and playwright,
is completing the concluding chapters
of another Indiana novel.
The new book will make its appear
ance in time, the authors friends as
sert, to answer a double purpose. 1t
will come not only at an opportune
time for the publishers, but will not
be amiss in assisting the author in
furthering his political ambitions.
For Booth Harrington, the author,
expects to become Booth Harrington,
the politician.
Then, in addition, there is strong
rumor going the rounds that Booth
Harrington, the bachelor, is about to
become Booth Harrington, the bene-
dict. Mr.. Harrington, however, does
not admit this assertion. He will not
Il countenance the rumor. Neither does
Mr.. Tarkington's family, unless, in
truth, the authors mother be except
ed. She has been quoted as admitting
that the author and the young woman
whose name has been linked with that
of Mr.. Harrington by the gossips like
each other-nothing more.
Yet an intimate friend of the Indiana
author said only a day or two ago:
+'Mr. Harrington is working on the last
novel he will write before he is mar
ried."
However" as Mr.. Harrington, him
self, says, "the rumor does not affect
the novel now in hand"
AS in his first success, says the Chi
cago American, the author will return
to Indiana for the plot of his story.
1t will be laid in the city of Terre
Haute, where, by the way, the authors
father met, wooed and married the au-
thor's mother, and it will deal almost
exclusively with bits of Indiana char
acter. Mr.. Harrington considers it
his most pretentious and most success

and a number of wealthy and distin-
guished relatives.
The staff of an ambassador is much
the same as that of a legation, but
there are more privileges and great
er distinctions. An ambassador is
called upon to do great deal more
entertaining than a minister, and is
required to make a greater show OF
splendor and magnifcence. The rank
is much higher and the recognition
is more courtly and official.
The elevation of the Austria-Hun-
garian legation to the United States
to an embassy is an important diplo-
matte move on the part of Austria
Hungary and marks an important
epoch in the relations of the two
countries. The fact that there has
never been an embassy is generally
supposed to have been due to a cool
ness on the part of Austria Hungary
to the United States on account of q
disturbance in this country in which
a mob of Hungarians was roughly
handled. The action of the Austria
Hungarian government in appointing
it's minister, Ladislaus Hengelmuller
Won Hengelvar, to the rank of an
ambassador, is taken in this country
as an indication that the government
wishes all former breaches to be
healed and a spirit of cordially es-
tablished.
Mr.. Mccormick is very popular in
Vienna, and it is rumored that he
has had more than little to do
with the recent action of the Aus
Hungarian government in elevat-
ing it's legation to an embassy. The
initiative in the matter was taken
by Austria-Hungary's' foreign minis
ter, Count Goluchowski, and as it is
the custom in diplomatic relations
to always respond to such an eleva-
ton by similar one in this coun-
try, Mr.. Mccormick will be made am
bassador as soon as Mr.. Hengel-
muller is officially recognized as such
in this country.

With the elevation of the legation
of Austria Hungary to an embassy
Robert S. Mccormick, the present
minister of the United States to
Austria-Hungary, will be raised to
the rank of ambassador, will assume

The presentation was made during the

Tobacco for the Wards.

The state board of control has under
Amusement plan for manufacturing
tobacco for the use of inmates of state
institutions. Every quarter the state
buys two tons of plug chewing tobacco
and half ton of smoking tobacco. 1t
is furnished to inmates of the state
prison, insane hospitals and asylums,
and the school for the feeble-minded.
The intention is to manufacture the
tobacco at Saltwater for the use of all
the institutions. If this can be done
without paying the revenue tax, the
board of control will undertake it. 1t
is thought that the tax would not be
imposed, as no tobacco will be sold,
but the question is being investigated.
Horse Thieves.
Horse thieves are operating south OF
St. Paul, and some valuable horses
have been stolen. Recently three good
draft animals were taken from the
barns of farmers in the vicinity of
Rosemount and St. Paul Park and no
trace of them has been found.
At Levi Buffers place, near St. Paul
park, the thieves selected fine Nor
man mare weighing l,4oO pounds from
five, other beasts, and took half of a
double harness.
They went to T. E. Woodward's farm
near by and appropriated a buggy, to
which they hitched the animal and
drove awav. The theft occurred early
in the night.
Milling.
The census statistics show that
Minnesota easily holds the lead of all
the states in the -four milling indus
try. New York-the Empire state
stands next in amount of capital in
vested, and is less than million dol
lars behind Minnesota in this item;
but is is noticeable that in value of
product Minnesota is nearly double,
the figures being S42,796,34o for New
York, and $S3,s77, 7O9 for Minnesota.

Milling.
Contract Let.

The state drainage commission let
contract Tor the construction of the
Grand Marias drainage ditch in Polk
county. The ditch is one-half mile
long and connects the Grand Marias
with the Red river. For some years
the mouth of the Grand Marias has
been choked with sand, and the water
to depth of six feet extends back for
half a mile, and soon become stagnant

SPREADS WITH GREAT RAPiDlT\
PATIENTS STRAPPED TO THEIR
BEDS ARE LEFT TO THEIR
FATE.
OVER THIRTY ARE INJURED
MANY JUMP FROM WINDOWS BE-
FORE THEY CAN BE PRE-
VENTED.

Chicago, June II. Min men and
one woman were killed and about thir-
ty persons were injured in a fire which
destroyed the sanitarium conducted by
the ST. Luke's society in this city. BY
far the greater portion of the patients
received in the institution We're those
seeking cure from the drink habit n
those who were addicted to the use Of
drugs. When the fire broke out there
was on the fifth floor a number If pa
tients suffering from delirium remens
and some who were deranged by drugs.
Several of these were strapped to their
beds and it was found impossible to
through the building.
Origin of the Fire.
The fire originated in the basement of
the building and spread rapidly to the
upper stories throughout the elevator
shaft. The plaze was discovered by
James Newell, a grocer, who was driv-
ing through the alley in the rear of the
building. He noticed smoke coming
from one of the basement windows and
ran into the engine room to discover it's
cause. Behind the boilers in the center
of the cellar and within a few feet OF
the elevator shaft he saw a small flame.
The next instant the flames We're
caught by the draft in the elevator
and carried up with a roar. New
ell she uted to several men in the alley
to give the alarm and to warn the in
mates of the danger. Several hurried
to do this. but by the time they reached
the first floor of the building the flames
Lad been carried to the roof, had eaten
through it and We're leaping high in the
air.
Jumped From Windows.
AS the cry of fire rang through the
building patients sprang from their
beds and before they could be prevent
ed, several had jumped from the win
dows to the pavement. The fire depart
ment was on the scene within a few
minutes, and as the windows were filled
with people shrieking for help the fire.
men devoted their first efforts to save
lives and allowed the fire to burn.
While this vas the means of saving a
large number of people who were car
ried down the ladders by firemen, it
gave the fire such a Roadway that there
was al1nost no han for those on the
upper floor of the building to make
their escape, and such of them as were
not suffocated were killed or badly in
jured by leaping from the windows.

ALL ARE PLEASED.
Disarmament of Beers Is Proceed
ing Satisfactorily.

S
London, June 10. The war office has
received the following message from
Lord Kitchener, under yesterdays date:
THE disarmament Of the Beers IS
proceeding satisfactorily and satisfac-
ton expressed everywhere. Up to yes
terday 4,622 rifles had been received
Dispatches to the Associated Press
from Pretoria confirm the statements
made in Lord Kitchener's communica-
ton to- the war office and say that the
rhole staff of the late Transvaal gov
eminent, with a bodyguard of sixty
men, surrendered last Saturday.
The following formalities are OBJ
served when Gen. Botha, Gen. Dewet
or any of the Boer commanders ac-
company the British officers who are
detailed to receive surrenders:
The Boer leader goes to meet a COM
mando and returns at it's head. The
Beers who comein are generally dressed

but have a smart and soldierly bearing.
Those who are to surrender are assem-
bled and the Boer leader delivers an
address to his men, urging them to
listen to the British officer who has
been detailed on this work. The Brit
ish officer then makes a speech to the
men Of the commando in which he in
forms them of the admiration OF
King Edward and the British nation
for the Boer resistance n the bravery
Of their people, and that the authorities
| will do the utmost to enable them to
settle on their farms. A meal is pro-
vided for the Beers, after which the
formal surrenders occur. In many
such instances the Beers have cheered
King Edward and they have some
times expressed surprise that no army
was sent out to receive their ~surrenders.
The majority of them appear to be
glad that the war is at an end and that
they will now r. able to join their
families.
Americans Among Them.
Among the men who surrendered TO
the British authorities at Balmoral,
Cape Colony, were four Americans.
who will be granted free passage to
Delagoa Bay.
A striking sign Of the altered condi-
lions in South Africa is that Lord Mil
ner. the British high commissioner, rode
from Pretoria to johannesburg last Sat
urday accompanied only by two stan
officers.
A few Of the Boer women still 1nVelgn
against surrender, but general feeling
among them is in favor Of making the
best Of the situation.
Throughout the dominions of the
British empire, and especially In all the
principal towns in South Africa
thanksgiving services for the return OF
peace were held yesterday. Lord
Kitchener attended a thanksgiving SER
vice at Pretoria at which 5000 British
troops were present.
