WHILE MENTALLY DERANeED
Anaconda Man Hangs Himself to Es-
cape Imaginary Foes.

Anaconda, Oct. 5.-William Andras.
XII, a Pole, hung himself here yester.
day while in a fit of insanity. He ap.
piled for refuge from imaginary as
sassins at the cabin of Chris Schaefer
at an unusual hour yesterday morn
ing and was given shelter. Schaefer
left him when he started for work,
and upon returning found the unfor-
tunate fellow dangling in the DON OF
his cabin from a c%lothesline which
Andraski had fastened to a spike in
the wall.
Andraski was arrested Thursday
night suffering from the same illusion
that he was being haunted, but show
ed such complete recovery Saturday
morning that he was permitted to go.
Later in the afternoon he al again
attacked by his imaginary foes and
spent the entire night hunting for a
safe retreat until Schaefer took him
in.
Andraski was a laborer at the new
works in the concentrating depart
ment, and has never shown previous
signs of mental weakness. He was
above the average in intelligence, and
spoke five different languages.

LITTLs COY
Loses His Life by Falling Into lrri.
cation Canal.

News was received this morning of
the death of a child near Miles City
by drowning in an irrigation ditch.
The little n was the o of Mr.. and
Mrs. Earle Davis, who reside on a
ranch under the Tongue river canal.
The boy had been playing about the
house and was missed only a few
minutes by his mother, who fearing
that he might have strayed to the
ditch, FASTENED to where a small foot
bridge crosses it. No trace of the
little fellow could be found, but the
presence of the family dog at the
bridge confirmed her worst fears. AS
soon as possible the water was shut
off and a search of the canal made,
resulting in the body of the boy be-
ing found about five miles below the
place where he is supposed to have
fallen in.
It is believed that the child was
playing with the dog, which is a young
one, and that the animal pushed him
off the bridge.

FORTY OF THEIR FORTS cAPTuR.
E DAND DESTROYED.
CHEAPLY BOUGHT VICTORY
Two Wounded the Total Losses 'Sus-
tained by Americans-Wil Have
Good Effect.

Manila, Oct. 5.-Captain Pershing's
column has routed the Macin Moros
in the island of Mindanao, killing or
%wounding 100 of them and capturing
and destroying 40 forts. Two Ameri.
cans were wounded. On Tuesday the
Moros retired to their largest and
strongest fort On the lake shore, and
on Wednesday Captain Pershing at.
tackled them with artillery, lombard
ing the enemy for three hours. At
noon Lieutenant Loring. leading a
squad of men, attempted to set fire
to the fort. He crept under the walls
and started a blaze, but the Moros
discovered him and forced the Ameri-
a n to retreat.
During the afternoon the sultan of
Cabugalion led a .sortie at the head
of a band Of fanatics armed with
krises. They crept through the grass
and sprang up and attacked the Amer
leans. The sultan was wounded six
times and boloed an Ameican before
he died. His followers were killed.
In the darkness Captain Pershing
took his batteries within 100 yards of
the fort, closed his infantry lines and
resumed the attack. The Moros
broke through twice and attempted to
escape by the beach, but were discov-
cred and many of them were killed.
The Moros abandoned the fort early
on Thursday, after Is hours lombard
ment, and Captain Pershing destroyed
the rest Of the forts and returned to
Camp Vickars.
1t is believed the moral effect on
the Moros will be great.
General Davis has ordered that hos
tilities be stayed in order to permit
the sultan Of Bacalod and other hos
tile sultans to make peace.
The sultans of Macin were confident
Of their ability to defeat the Ameri-
cans, and vowed before the fight, to
enter slavery voluntarily if they them
selves were defeated.
General Davis has sent General
Sumner, in command of the American
forces in Mindanao, a congratulatory
telegram on the success of Captain
Pershing and the small American loss.

Will NOT ENFORCE RULE
SHAW ADDRESSES CIRCULAR TO
NATIONAL BANKS.
Department Desires That No Worthy
Interest Shall Suffer-Relieves
Treasury from Surplus.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Secretary
Shaw has issued a circular to nation
al banks officially notifying them
that he would not enforce the rule
requiring them to maintain a rs per
cent reserv against government de-
posits. The circular follows:
"A wholly unauthorized and un-
founded report appears to have been
sent from Washington yesterday cal
culated to mislead with reference to
the action taken by the secretary of
the treasury relative to the mainten-
ance of reserve against government
deposits secured by government
bonds. That there may be no mis-
understanding, either as to the law
or the action taken by the department,
you are advised:
"The national bank act, as you are
we'll aware, lays down the rule that
all associations shall maintain GER
tain reserve against all deposits.
Failing to do which the comptroller
OF the currency may notify any asso-
citation to make coed such reserve.
Failing to do which within 80 days,
the comptroller. with the concur
renee of the secretary, of the treas
ury, may appoint a receiver, etc.
The law, therefore, lays down the
rule that the reserve shall be main
tanned, but lodges a discretion with
the comptroller and with the secre-
tary OF the treasury as to the enforce
ment of the rule. You are, therefore,
notified that the rule will not be en-
forced so far as it relates to govern
ment deposits secured by government
bonds.
1T must be borne in mind in this
connection that it is not the inten-
ton of this department to encourage
the increased credit. On the con-
trary, very great converatism should
be exercised.
But it is the desire of the depart
ment that no worthy business interest
shall suffer simply because a bank
has invested it's money in rover
ment bonds to secure a government
deposit, and to that extent has reliev-
ed the treasury from a growing sur
plus and has thus restricted it's ca
pacity to extend accommodations.

Why the Plaque Spreads.

A Swedish consul at Bombay says
that because of their fear of sanitary
inspection and modern methods of
preventing and curing disease the
natives of India in vast numbers are
the victims of plague. In consequence
Of the hatred and fear of hospitals
and medical men the population of
Bombay has decreased 100000 in the
last ten years, while the increase
in the whole of India in the same
time was about Is per cent. Bonn
bay now has 100000 people. The
hospitals and general medical service
in India are of the best and do much
good in the affected districts in spite
of the prejudice which prevails
against such things. The plague is
generally fatal without the most skill
full medical attention. The natives in
their ignorance seek only to be left
to die in peace. The ancient tradi-
lions of the country are extremely
difficult, almost impossible, to eradi-
cate."-Baltimore Sun.

One method suggested in the petit

ment Of a temporary receiver to op-

are closed on accountso If the strike.
The petition is circulated all over
the city of Chicago and throughout
the state of Illinois under the direc-
ton of United States Senator Will

As to Precedent.
There are numerous instances
where temporary receivers have been
appointed for the management of pub
lie utilities" said Senator Mason,
'and which afford ample precedent
for action in this emergency. Rail-
roads have been thus treated by the
court on the petition of the people,
as can be shown by the records.

II have in mind a case where a dis
pute between a municipality and a

ened to deprive the people of a water
supply, resulted in the appointment of
a receiver until the trouble was set

Canadians confidently believe that
there will be a rush of prairie schOon-
ers' across the border which will
eclipse even the great movements of
American settlement The march of
the 'forty-niners" is expected to be
outdone and the rush into Oklahoma
belittled by this coming invasion of
American farmers.
There is a matter Of sentiment, how
ever, Of which the Canadians have not
entirely lost sight, although they have
endeavored to remove it. This is that
the new settler must take an oath of
allegiance to King Edward VII.
The land he gets is free. The only
fee he pays is $40 when he gives notice
that he will apply for a patent, but he
has to take the oath Of allegiance. This
has been softened as much as possible
by avoiding what the Canadians call
offensive renunciatiOns," but it re-
mains a change of citizenship.
This sentiment Of citizenship has
made the movement of American farm
lers a unique one. From the east
comes a man who stops in the middle
west. He buys a farm for $50 or 500
an acre. The middle west farmer packs
up and moves into the northwestern

Free HOmesteads to Tempt Farmers

Settlers Expected to Cross the Bor-

Unless the Canadian officials are very
much at sea in their calculations there
will be a mighty rush of American
farmers. across the border next spring
to settle on the lands of the great
Canadian northwest.
Canadians confidently expect an in
flux of 100000 settlers from the do
mains Of Uncle Sam and support their
contention with some show of logic.
Last year 10000 American settlers
crossed the boundary to tempt fortune
on Canadian soil. Those were nearly
all men, So per cent married, and, hay
ing settled on their land and built
houses, they will send for their fami-
lies next spring. Those who went in
last year, they argue, were merely the
vanguard.

dian advertising methods to bear fruit
beyond the border states, but this has
been accomplished, say the officials

candidates. OF the year came out for football
practice at Columbia In the rain yesterday, when
Morley formed varsity and d scrub team and
held the first scrimmage work of the year. In
the morning Captain NVeakesE took the candidates
for their physical examinations. Everybody was
found physically fit to play.
In the first scrimmage Of the year the scrubs
tore through the varsity line for five yards and
followed this with other gains of from six to
nine yards until the ball was fifteen yards from
the end Of the field, when a tumble gave the
varsity the ball. Captain Weakes and the
ot'cr backs made persistent gains, but tumble
lost the ball. After several exchanges Smith OF
the varsity broke the scrub line and scored
the only touchdown of the day, making FIVE to
nothing the final score.
