The announcement Of the death Of
Jessie Benton Fremont in California,
with whose early fortunes both she
and her husband, Gen. John G. Ere
mont, were closely identified, will
hardly affect the present generation,
which knows little about this once
brilliant woman. Indeed, the interest
in her life now is purely reminiscent;
but her death will bring up many In
teresting memories to those whose rec
objections go back half century and
who will recall her as the handsome,
dashing, high spirited wife Of Lieut.
Fremont and daughter Of Senator Ben
ton. She was the young lieutenant's
support and inspiration in that famous
exploration which made him known all
over the country as 'the Pathfinder"
She was the wife of the first Republ1-
can candidate for the presidency,
and had Fremont been elected she
would have had a brilliant court at
the White House, over which she would
have presided in queenly style. She
was honored at European courts, where
her wit and beauty made her social
sensation. She was the belle of many
cities, a general favorite in an unusu-
ally wide circle of distinguished &C
quaintances, and born social leader,
but the defeat of her husbands polit-
ical ambitions and other misfortunes
which overlook him deprived her of
the opportunity to fill positions in
which she would have shone. The So
ciety queen, once dethroned, is soon
forgotten, and such was Mrs. Ere

RECEIVERS APPOINTED.
Debts Of Large Commission House May
Be Greater Than Assets.

Chicago, May 21.-Bankruptcy pro
ceedings against the Porter Brothers
Company, one of the largest fruit
commission houses in the country,
were begun secretly in the United
States district court Tuesday and 1t
was not until Wednesday that it be-
came known that receivers had taken
charge of the company's affairs. John
McLaren. former vice president of the
Union National bank. and Henry l..
Wilson, a lawyer. were directed by
Judge Kohlsaat to take charge OF the
assets of the corporation. This was
done on application of several credi-
tors who alleged that the concern was
insolvent and that its officers had
made preferential payments.
Until the return Of James S. Wat
son, president of the corporation, the
receivers do not expect to find out
much about the financial condition of
the company. Attorneys Defrees, Brace
and Ritter, who represent the receiv-
ers. said that they could not estimate
the liabilities or assets of the con-
Germ. It is said to be probable, how
ever that the debts will prove to be
larger than the assets. which are
worth from 500, 900 to 5000. 900.
The concern was capitalized for
$1,000, 900. and had a high financial
rating.
The stores of the company in Chi
cago are at 81 South Water street and
AS River street. The concern also
owns large branch houses in New
York, Boston, Minneapolis and at
several places in California.
The announcement of the action in
court against the Porter Brothers
company caused a commotion in South
Water street.

Mr.. krelwitz is not in Duluth and
it is said he is not in the United
States at the present time, but he is
expected to arrive here shortly. Cou-
ture was brought into court in the
afternoon and arraigned. Bail was
placed at 81, 900, which he was unable
to furnish. and he now is in the st.

The Duluth land officials have as
serted their belief that they were or
the right track in indicting the mer
mentioned and that when the cases
come to trial they expect to prove
that the government has been syste

trafficking in stone and timber en-
tries. All the men with the excep

COLD IN MONTANA.
Ten Feet of Snow Reported Near
Northern Border.

Butte. Mont, May 21.-Ten feet of
snow is reported from Coutts. Mont,
the boundary, and the thermome-
ter is ranging from 4 to 6 degrees be-
low zero. Traffic on the Great North
ern is seriously interfered with by the
drifting snow and trains are being
operated only with the greatest diff
Guilty.
Conservative estimates place the
loss of stock at about $4,000, 900, and
the number of head of stock lost is
figured at about 10000. This loss will
be swelled by the ruin Of the fruit
crop throughout Northern Montana,
which. it is understood. is a total
failure. The Missouri river is rising
rapidly and the ranchers are leaving
the lowlands in anticipation Of dis
astrous floods.
No trace can be found of the three
sheep herders first reported missing
and it is thought their bodies lie deep
beneath the snow.

MILWAUKEE, MAN MAKES START.
LING STATEMENT ABOUT THE
RUSSIANS.
INVESTIGATED JEW EXODUS
AND CLAIMS GOVERNMENT EDI
TON OF HIS REPORT WAS
DESTROYED.

Milwaukee, May 21.-Dr. Kempste1
made the startling statement during
the day that a report which he made
as a commissioner of the United
States government appointed to inves-
tigate the condition of the Jews in
Russia at the time of the last exodus
In 1891, and ordered printed by the
congress of the United States, was
suppressed and all of the government
edition made way with and destroyed
by the Russian representatives in
Washington.
He said that he had received letters
from United States senators and con-.
gressmen, and officials of the govern
ment asking him where they could OBJ
tain copies of the report, but neither
he nor they were ever able to fathom
what had become of the government
edition.
1.-The government ordered 10000
copies printed, and I ordered 100 for
private use,' said DR.. Kempster. 81
received my 100 copies, but the gov
eminent edition disappeared and no
ono to this Day seems to be able to
tell what became of it. I learned after
the report was issued that it was sub
stantially cabled to st. Petersburg as
1t had been printed in this country"
DR.. Kempster visited Europe after
the publication Of the report, and it
was printed in London in the English,
German and French languages there,
and copies of it were sent by regis
tered mail in separate packages from
the London postofices to the car, to
the heads of each of the departments
OF the government and to the govern
Ors of the provinces.
Every one of these reports" said
DR.. Kempster, %"including the n sent
to the car, was returned to the Lon
don postofice stamped forbidden
"To understand the situation cor
rectly." said MI. Kempster. 'you must
know that no Jew, Gentle or Greek
can leave one city in Russia and go to
another city either in that or any
other province without a special per.
init in writing"

Spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feel
ing; the liver, bowels and kidneys
become sluggish and. inactive, the di-
gestion impaired, with little or no
appetite, no ambition for anything,
and a feeling that the whole body
and mind needs toning up. The trou-
BILE is, that during winter, there has
been an accumulation of waste matter
in the system. Herbine will remove
it, secure to the %secretions a right
exit, and by it's tonic effect, fully re-
store the wasted tissues and give
strength in place of weakness. SOC
