at various restaurants. while every
evening he sits admiring her from the
stalls. He has loaded Edna with splen-
did presents. The other night she made
a decided sensation at the Savoy hotel
by appearing In a very smart frock
blazing with all the Kuch Behar crown
Jewels. valued at nearly $4,000, 900,
WHICH were presented to her by the
rajah. This came to the ears of the
maharajah, who forthwith visited Ed
ma and demanded that she restore the
gems. which. besides being CT immense
value, are crown property, and it is not
in the power of any one. not excepting
himself, to give them away.
Kuch Behar is a native state of Ben
gal, India, a trifle larger than Rhode
Island. very fertile and, like most In
dian states, very rich. 1t has a popula-
ton Of about GOO, 900 persons. The ma
harajah. or sovereign. is entitled to a
salute of thirteen guns-not SO many as
some of the other native rulers, but
enough to show that he is a ~potentate
of dignity and power.

INDIAN UPRISING.
Yaquis Of Mexico Committing Many
Depredations.

Oepfeoatton8.
Ell Paso, Texas, June "A private
letter received here from a reliable
source at Hermosillo, Mexico, states
that q general uprising of the Yaquis
Indians in the central and southern
portions of that state has taken place
and a reign of terror exists even at
the capital, for it is feared that the
Indians will attack the town. Refu-
gees from the ranchs, with their wives
and children, are pouring into Her
mosillo seeking protection. A con
scription law has recently been passed
and as fast as able bodied men arrive
at the capital, they are ~conscripted to
serve in the army. The Indians are
rising in large numbers and concen-
trating among the hills. Many muir
ders have been reported. The recent
RECOMMENDATION order has had a bad
effect on the Indians. They regard
the system as virtual slavery. The
Indians r holder than they have
been since the outbreak three years
ago and seem to be operating in great
er numbers. Armed bands are scour-
ing the country, but their main strong
hold is in almost inaccessible hills.
Reinforcements Of regulars are being
hurried to the front.

Two Beautiful New Flowers.

Among the new flowers of merit are
the Comet and branching asters, says
the May Ladies' Home Journal. The
first named has much less formality Of
petal and general arrangement than
the better known sorts like the rose
and peony lowered class. These as
well as the branching asters bear so
close a resemblance to some Of the
popular chrysanthemums in form and
color that they are often used in their
stead for decorative purposes in the
fall. and few persons detect the substi-
tuition. They last for two weeks after
cutting IL the water in which they are
placed is renewed daily.

Just as poor as poor can be.
But her spirits always rose
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
And, though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone

Who would keep her to the end.
I have seen her rub and scrub
On the washboard In the tub,
While the baby sopped in suds,
Rolled and tumbled in the buds
Or was padding in the pools
With old scissors stuck in spools,
She still humming of her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs,
And I should not wish to strip
From that washerwoman's lip
Any song that she can sing,
Any hope that songs a bring,
For the woman has q friend
Who will keep her to the end.

A Terrible Calamity.

One OF the greatest calamities of
modern times has befallen the city of
St. Pierre on the island of Martinique,
one OF the Lesser Antilles. A terrible
volcanic eruption accompanied by
cart quake shocks buried the city in
ashes and burning lava. The ships
in the harbor were lifted up by an i'm
mense tidal wave and then dashed to
pieces on the bottom of the harbor.
Only a few of the inhabitants of the
city and the people on board the ships
were saved. It is figured that at least
forty thousand persons persisted in
the catastrophe. From some of the
neighboring islands came reports OF
earthquakes and volcanic activity that
threaten further catastrophes. The
entire group of islands is of volcanic
origin, and the inhabitants OF all OF
them are greatly alarmed.

Messrs. Sperry Grannis, and Stanford
of the Law Literary Society, support
ed the affirmative, while Thelen,
Smythe and Wildey upheld the mega
tive.
Both sides of the argument were we'll
presented and victory was not assured
until the close of the debate. The bur-
den OF proof rested with the afirma-
tive. They, by preponderance of evil
dence and logical argument finally
wrested victory from their doughty
opponents.
Both teams are to be congratulated
upon their masterful presentation of
the points involved, and we need
have no fear of having q dearth of
material next year for our inter.col-
legiates debates-at least while these
men are in college,"
The Minneapolis Tribune said:
''The victory gives to them posses
sion of the Jacobs cup for the next
year and the title of debating cham
pions of the university.
The law team were especially strong
in delivery and in driving home their
arguments. They were all pupils OF
Prof. N. II. Bartlett during the past
year, and this fact may be one of the
reasons for advancement in this line
of work by the law society, as hereto
fore the laws have had no training
in the way of debate and oratory."

at this point of late for towns between

OLD Settlers PICNIC.
Pioneers Of tho county..to Meet June ~.
Excursion to Duluth the 2lst.


Excursion to Duluth the 2ist.
Arrangements are in progress for
the annual meeting of the Kandiyohi
County Old Settlers Association,
which is to be held atiSpicer on Tues.
day, June II. The, full program has
not yet been prepared, but it is safe
to say that there will undoubtedly be
plenty of entertainment provided for
all who attend. Speakers will be en-
gagged for the occasion and there will
be amusements of various kinds. AS
Green Lake has this year been chosen
for the site of the picnic, there will un-
doubtedly be very large attendance,
many outsiders being attracted there
on account of the famous resort. Pres
ldent A. H. Sperry informs US that
there will be a meeting of the execu-
tive committee the first OF June to
make final arrangements for both the
picnic and the excursion to Duluth.
The committee has arranged for a
| special train OF ten coaches to leave
here in the morning of June 81 for
Duluth, returning on Sunday evening,
which will give pleasure trip of two
days. The fare will be 81 so for the
round trip. The sale of tickets will
be limited, so as to allow only fifty
passengers for each car and thus
avoid crowded condition and pro-
vide comfort for the excursionists. It
is expected that the train will leave
| Willmar Saturday morning at 7
O'Clock and returning leave Duluth
about or 5 o'clock Sunday evening.
The committee on picnic is CON-
posed of P. H. Parsons, Oliver Lar
son and Harold Swenson.
There will be reduced rates to Spi-
Ger for the occasion.
