made a specially pleasant one. The
Knight rank was conferred upon sew

a pleasant social session, which was

of all, be has been priced for his be-

The l. F. SD. Passenger

We occasionally hear that rumor
about the passenger being pulled off
the Little Falls & Dakota branch for
the winter, but SO far as we can learn
it has no foundation in fact. The
division superintendent has no in
formation that it is to be taken off or
at least il he HIS, says nothing to
that effect. It is hardly reasonable
to suppose that the passenger will be
taken off as long as the road receiv-
ing the patronage at present, or for
that matter, all summer. Wedues
day morning both coaches we'll filed
and most of the passengers trans
ferred to other trains at this point

WARNS THEM TO SHY AT AGENTS
Supt. Olson Issues Circular to School
Officers.

|
agents, purporting to represent the
state apartment, are selling specia
charts and school aids to rural schools
The charts are said by this superin'
tendent to be practically worthless
The agents have covered the south
western part of state and are said tc
be working north.
Supt. j. W. Olson, having examin-
ed the blank contracts used by the
agents, says they are specially pre-
pared to deceive the purchasers. He
saws the non essentials of the con-
tracts are printed in bold type and
tho essential feature, making the
schoo! officers personally responsible
for the purchased price of the goods
in print so fine as to be scarcely read
able by the naked eye.
The state department last week
sent circulars to school districts in
which is the following;
lit is hardly necessary to say that
the statements made by the agents
are wilful fslsehoods, and that neither
this Office nor any one having state
authority has Endorsed either them or
their wares. Agents selling special
charts or other school aids have waxed
fat and prospered by guilefully re-
sorting to the grossest but most
plausible misrepresentation, through
which they have been able to take
advantage of the ordinary
school officers lack of that ex
perience which wonld enable MIN to
distinguish standard apparatus,
reasonable in cost, from the high pric-
ed speciality, useless except to sell.
These irresponsibles usually give out
that state superintendent, county
uperintendents and other educators
have in the way of conversation
highly approved their goods: or
they may basely, but wariiy, insinu-
ate that the only reason such officials
had failed to approve them was that
thew had been usalluy Influenced by
rival concerns.
All such representations may be
regarded as deliberately false. Only
the signed written statement of the
county. superintendent or other
authority should be given any con-
sideration. 1t is significant that
these specialties and helps are not
handled bv schoolmen of recognized
standing nor by realible local dealers,
but are nearly always offered by
strangers of no known financial
standing"

Mouth of Her Den

Sercoff was unable TO get out of the
way. and almost before ne knew it the
beast had fastened its claws in his back
and the struggle for life was begun
SercOff was out of reach of his trusty
rifle. and not even his shovel or pick
was within reaching distance. Real
iZing that what he did to defeat the
animal would have to be done quickly,
he seized the beast by the throat. The
grip was not effective. however, for the
animal continued TO bite and claw.

Sercon then released his hold on the
club ne carried. and with one hand he
grasped one front paw and with the
other he seized the animals lower jaw
With superhuman effort Sercoh
pushed the head of the beast back, and.
despite its struggles, he sank his teeth
in the animals throat and severed the

WESTERN UNION
LOSES ITS CASE
Must Remove Poles and Wires
From Right of Way.
THEIR CONTRACT EXPIRED
DECISION BY UNITED STATES
COURT OF APPEALS.

n PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 19.-The
United States court of appeals
today held that the Penn
sylvania railroad had a legal right
to remove the poles and wires OF
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany from along the railroads right of
way. The decision today affirms a
judgment of the west Pennsylvania
United States court and reverses
judgment Of the Sew Jersey United
States circuit court The Pennsylvania
court refused to grant the petition for
an Injunction sought by the Western
Union against the Pennsylvania rail
road and the New Jersey court granted
the injunction
The opinion is written by Judge Dal-
las. 1t states that the litigation is be-
fore the court on two appeals. one of
them upon writ of error relating to
an order Of the circuit court of west
ern PENNSYLVANIA, dismissing a petition
by which the Western Union company
sought to acquire by condemnation the
use Of the right Of way Of the PennsyI-
vania Railroad company and its
branches for the use of the telegraph
company hNeS, ana the other upon a
decree of the circuit court of New Jer-
sey awarding an injunction restraining
the railroad company and others from
interfering with the telegraph lines
along the right of way of the Penn
sylvania company
Judge Dallas says the decree of the
New Jersey court was not made on
the merits Of the case, but on the
ground that it would result in irrep-
arabic injury to no one and might
soon be reviewed upon appeal whereas
an order refusing the injunction might
have entailed much loss to the teIe-
graph company. The opinion quoted
the contract of the Western Union
I company with the Pennsylvania rail
road, dated Sept. % 1881. which con-
tanned a provision that after a period of

St. Petersburg, May 19--The Russian
government has received no repre-

through Ambassador Mccormick, sew
eral days ago. whether the money and
supplies which were being offered from
all parts Of America for the sufferers
would be acceptable 10 the Russian
government.
The foreign Office replied that while
it greatly appreciated the American
generosity. there was no need for re-
lief. as the wants of the inhabitants
of Kishineff We're looked after. There
is no doubt that while Russian officials
might regret the Kishineff massacTes,
they equally resent what they call the
anti Russian agitation in America p
