TWO SOLDIERS HANGED.
Execution Of Sentences in Gases of Two
Deserters r rom Army.

Washington, Feb. s.-Two soldiers
undoubtedly We're hanged in the Phil
ippines yesterday in execution of SEN
fences imposed by military commits
sions, by which they were convicted of
desertion to the enemy Their names
were Edmond A. Dubose and Lewis
Russell, and both We're attached to
Company r, Ninth cavalry, a negro
regiment. While their company was
operating against the insurgents In the
province of Albay, in August last, the
two men deserted and were afterward
discovered serving in the ranks of the
enemy. The military commission be-
fore which they were tried sat at GUM
obatan, In the province of Albay. They
were found guilty of the charge, and
each was sentenced to be hanged FRI
day, February Z. The findings and
sentences were approved by Gen. Chat
fee. In view of the fact, however that
this was the first case where the COM
manding general had directed the exc
cution of the sentence of death against
an enlisted man without reference to
the war department, the case was laid
before President Roosevelt in time to
prevent the execution in case he desired
to do SO. The president after consulta-
ton with the secretary of war, de-
clined to interfere, and cable mes
sage to this effect was sent to Gen.
eral Craffee Wednesday. Altho no Off
cial information has been received, it
is assumed at the war department that
the sentence of death in each case was
carried into effect.

Advance in Northwestern Stock Be-
Ieved to Portend Important DeveI-

opments.
New York, Feb. S.--People connected
with the Northwestern are telling
friends there are special reasons for
the large advances in that stock. They
do not say what the reasons are. Some
of them say they do not know. but
are told to keep their stock. Others
say they have an intimation of some
developments OF Importance concern
Ing which they are not at liberty to
speak. Officers of the company say
they know of nothing special and see
no reason for the high price of both
stocks except appreciation of merit.
1t Is true that the merit of North
western justifles very high quotations
The capital per mile is on very low
basis, far below what 1t would cost
per mile to duplicate the system. The
company has been putting money into
its property for years. and has written
off large sums from Its profit and loss
surplus. 1t is hardly possible that it
will be thought wise to arouse crit
icism by very high dividends, hence
broad possibilities lie in the direction
of some changes either in control
real or nominal, or in capitalization
There are ruInors of a Vanderbilt
holding company into which the North
western may go at high price The
strength In Northwestern has brought
to the front various rumors of new
granger combinations and the char
acter of buying in st. Paul points In
the same direction

VICTIMS OF LAUGHTER.

Doctors Baffled by Strange Epidemic
Among Young People.
Kankakee, ILL.,. Feb. s.-T'he young
people of Wellington in Iroauois
county. are suffering from an epidemic
of laughter, which has baf11ed the doc
tors and has caused much distress
The first victim of the affection was
Miss Eftie Hamilton, the 15-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. l.. Nj. Ham
ilton. She laughed INCREASINGLY for
four days, until her father, not know
ing what else to do, dashed glass of
cold water in her face. The shock had
the desired effect, but for long time
the girl was exceedingly weak from
the strain of her four days of laugh
ing.
The second victim was Miss Rosa
Bolts, aged Is. She was taken much
the same way as Miss Hamilton, but
the cold-water cure had only tempor-
airy effect The girl was finally stop
ped, but not until her condition had
become alarming.
The third victim is a young man,
John Kimberlin. who laughed for al
most a week, and then only let up ow-
ing TO his excessive weakness. The
young people were all similarly afiiict-
ed, and during their hysterical attacks
were unable to eat or sleep. so the
facilitating effect of their ailment can
easily be understood.

in Sacrileqious Practices.

IN 0aCrlIe9tcuS FraCtlCeS. .
Eldora, Feb S.-There are Il great
many scoffers of religion in little
community in Mitchell county north of
here, and the Protestant denominations
have been expanding considerable
money in erecting new churches and
sending preachers among the settlers
in the infidel community. Recently
the house of worship belonging to the
Congregational denomination burned
to the ground and the followers VINO
had worshipped therein utilized the lit
tie school house for their Saturday
night prayer meetings and Tor their
regular Sunday services.

silver service in which they passed beer
as a symbol of which they declare was
Christs blood. and also passed to the
congregation bologna sauSages ana

PRICES HAVE DOUBLED.
Wonderful Increase in the Value o.
Minnesota Land.

Minnesota Land.
Crookston, Mimi, Feb S.-The story
of the rapid increase OF the value OF
farm lands and city property is told
in unmistakable manner by the records
of the office of the register of deeds
of Polk county for January. During
the month 104 transfers of farm prop
erty were listed in various parts OF
the county covering 21,600 acres, the
consideration being s337,066. Forty-six
transfers of village and city lots We're
recorded, embracing seventy five
pieces, the cash paid being $4,000
Against this statement is that of jan
uary, 1901, when the transfers num-
bered ninety one. embracing 1858
acres, the consideration being VAS
17a. and twenty five deeds covering
forty seven city and village lots for
which $6,405 was paid.
A little computation shows that this
year the land values average about
$ll an acre, while year ago they were
under Sc an acre.
The lots sold last year averaged $l3b
each. and in January of this year the
average price was 1854.
The outlook for large immigration
this year is first class, and the valley
will. from present indications, be the
mecca of thousands of families OF
those who have already purchased
farms, while other thousands will
come and buy lands that will be oc-
cupied another year. Already the tide
of buyers and settlers has set in, and
this week thirty car loads of house
hold goods and machinery will ar
rive from one county in Iowa.

Standard Oil Dividend 500,

New York, Feb. "A divident OF
$50 share, or s2O,OOo,OoO, was de-
clared by the directors of the Stand
ard Oil Company Wednesday, 1t ID
payable on March 15. and the rate is
the same as at this time a year ago
In 1901 the Standard OIL Company
paid 4s per cent on it's capital in divi-
dends, following similar disburse-
ment in 1900. In 1899 the rate was 81
per cent and in 1898 80 per cent. In
1897 the company paid 33 per cent and
in 1896 81 per cent, while the rate In
the years from 1891 to 1895 was IL pei

On the news that the divident had
not been cut Standard Oil stock, which

Carthage, Mo, Feb. S.-Rev. Sidney
Motley, an evangelist, who has beer
holding revivals In the southeastern
part of this county and in the north
esatern part of Newton county thu
past three months, created good deal
of excitement that eliminated in riot
by expressing, 1t is said. the belief that
there is no scriptural justification for
the Emanuel church, the church In
which he was then preaching. eight
miles southeast of here. The reverend
gentleman followed up his assertion, 1t
is alleged, by ridiculing the member
ship of the church. This is said to
have aroused the ire of the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch of that neighborhood, and
they summarily elected him from the
church and closed the doors. In the
hand to hand contest that followed
several persons were knocked down,

WALDO Is HEARD FROM
Mysterious Disappearance Of
New York Preacher Cleared
up in Frisco.
Rev. Edward Waldo. for Whom
Detectives Searched Five
Years. Found.
Writes to His Friends But Doe'
Not Explain His Strange
Action.

New York. Feb. S.-After five years
absence, Rev. Edward A. Waldo, who
formerly was connected with the Uni
versity Settlement Society of this city,
has been heard from at San Francisco.
Altho detectives have searched this
country and Europe, DR.. Waldo himself
after the long silence following his
mysterious disappearance from New
York in the summer of 1896, first sent
word to his family, who had long ago
given him up as dead, and his brother,
George b. Waldo, an artist of this city,
has started for San Francisco. 1t was
to his aged father. Simon S. Waldo, one
of the leading business men of New
Haven. Conn. that the missing minis
ter sent the letter. Realizing their
probable fears of joke he had taken
the precaution to have the letter coun-
tersigned by San Francisco minister,
with whom he is temporarily staying.
Dr. Waldo left the headquarters OF the
New York University Settlement So
ciety on the afternoon of July 10. 1896.
and between there and his home he
disappeared Detectives traced him as
far as Mississippi river town, where
he was supposed to have boarded boat
for New Orleans, but there the clue
ended. Once before DIR. Waldo mad a
similar experience. He labored In Chi
cago before coming to this city. and
while doing mission work there he dis
appeared. He had been raising large
fund for the purpose of providing pro-
visions for the poor OF Chicago. Some
weeks later DR.. Waldo was found wan
dering aimlessly about the streets of
Tallahassee, Fla. 1t was three years be-
fore he could tell his name.

Admiral Walker Discusses the
Canal Question Before the
Senate Committee.
Tells Of the Commissions Rea.
sons for Favoring the Pana-
ma Route.
Two American Soldiers Who De-
serted in the Philippines
Hansed..0ther News.

Washington, Feb. S.-Admiral JOIN
lG. Walker, chairman of the isthmiar
canal commission, testified before The
senate committee on interoceanic can
ais. In reply to numerous questions he
explained the reasons for the recen1
recommendation for the acceptance OF
the offer of the Panama Canal com
pany.
In replying to these inquiries Adj
miral Walker spoke at some length
upon the engineering features of the
two canals Senator Harris questioned
him especially with reference to the
difficulty of excavating for the Bohio
dam, developing the fact that 1t would
be necessary to sink the proposed
piers to greater depth than had even
beef1 done for such purpose. The
foundation of the pier will be 125 feet
below sea level, and the witness said
there We're differences of opinion as tc
the atmospheric pressure and the
possibility of seepage at this depth in
that climate. He that with reference
to seepage the engineers of the COM
ission had not agreed Admiral Wal
ker also was questioned concerning
the possibility of utilizing the Chag
res river as a part of the canal. He
admitted that it is a torreHtal stream
but expressed the opinion that it could
be safely confined. With reference To
the estimate that ten years would be
necessary to build the Panama canal
while eight years would suffice for
the construction of the canal by the
Nicaragua route he said that the diff
ference against the Panama route was
due largely to the extent of the euler
bra cut and the Bohio dam. He thought
that in ordinary weather steam yes
sells would be able to make their way
thru the Panama canal without being
lowed, but that towage might be nee
essary when the winds are high.
He expressed the opinion that Brito
harbor at the Pacific end of the Mic
aragua route would possess an adj
vantage over the Panama harbor in
that vessels would be Immediately able
to avail themselves in the former OF
the trade winds. while In Panama bay
they would not secure this advantage
until towed out to sea. However, he
thought that good harbors could be
cheaply secured at the western termin-
ais Of both routes.

PORTE ACTED IN BAD FAITH.
Story of the Failure to Secure Release
Of Mas Stana

Constantinople, Feb. 1.-THE failure
of the attempt to procure the release of
Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka from the
brigands was due primarily to the lack
OF proper cooperation between Mr..
Leishman, the American minister here,
and Mr.. Dickinson. the consul general
of the United States.
During his visit to Bulgaria Mr..
Dickinson made precise arrangements
for the payment of the ransom in Bull
garia, but the release of the two women
was to be effected in Turkey. Upon Mr.
Dickinson's return to Constantinople
and before permission for payment of
the amount and other details had been
received from Washington, Mr.. Leish-
man, who had been absent while these
arrangements were being made, object
ed strongly to the payment of the mon
ey in Bulgaria.
