to Establish Rural Line.

Special to Times Republican.
Ocheyedan, Aug. 29.-This spring
some of the alive and energetic bust
ness men of this town answered the
long desired want of our town to keep
1t in line with other towns of its size
around us, and incorporated themselves
into the Ocheyedan Automatic Tele-
phone Co. for the purpose of install
ing an exchange which has this summer
been erected and now has a list of 60
phones, which makes the exchange the
best one for the size of the town that
there is in this part of the state.
Their intention is soon to run lines
into the surrounding country and make
it also a rural line for the farmers adj
jacent to our enterprising little city.

FORGOT ABOUT WOUND.
Fort Dodge Prisoner Found to Have
Been Seriously Shot.

SDecial to Times RepuDlicaH.
Fort Dodge, Aug. 29.-Who would be-
lieye that a man could have shot MIN
self in the leg with thirty-two callpel
revolver and have a wound in the DOR
sal extremity over six inches long and
an inch deep with the bullet lodged IN
the flesh and yet be unaware of the
fact in the morning?
Yet this is the predicament that
Thomas Nolan was in when he was eX-
amined by the police after being ar
rested for being drunk and disorderly
and carrying concealed weapons Thurs
day.
While searching Nolan's person the
police accidently touched his leg near
the knee and blood was seen on his trou
sers. and upon examination an opening
was found where a bullet had entered
and had penetrated six inches when It
lodged in the feshy tissue near the
knee
When asked how he was shot and
who shot him, Nolan was puzzled say
ing that he could not remember being
injured. He admitted, however, that he
was so drunk on the night before
that he could not remember what ha !
happened. The bullet had entered the
tieshy tissue and caused but little loss
of blood. Physiciaons say that consid
ering Nolans intoxicated condition ami
the nature of wound it is not improh-
able that he could be ignorant of the
fact that a bullet was lodged on his per
son.
Nolan was arrested Wednesday night.
When arraigned the following morning
he said that his home was in Missouri
and that he was on his way home from
the harvest fields in North Dakota
when he accidently happened to STRIKE
up against goodly quantity OF Fort
Dodge booze.

MINISTER'S ARE ALARMED.
Servian Officials Panic Stricken by
Russian Note.

Russian Note.
Belgrade, Seryia, June 23.-The posi-
ton of the ministry is becoming more
unenyiable daily. in consequence OF
the Russian and Austrian demands
for the punishment OF the assassins OF
King Alexander aud Queen Draga. The
terms of the Russian note almost
caused q panic among the cabinet min
listers, who are anxiously awaiting the
arrival Of King Peter to eXtricate
them from the dilemma. The war min
lister is the paramount power in the
ministry, as he Is backed by the en-
tire army, and he threatens severe
resentment in the case OF any hint
by a member Of the cabinet OF the
punishment of the conspirators. The
promotions of officers sent from Ge-
neva are variously explained as either
intended as an open defiance or as
being the result of alarm caused by
the attitude Of the army.
The foreign representatives who
have not been instructed are asking
their respective governments what at
titude they shall assume at the recep-
ton of King Peter. The Russian min

POPE HOLDS coNsIsToRY.
Aged Pontiff Trembes PerceptibIy and
His Voice Is Weak.

Rome, June 23.--The days consis.
tory was specially important owing to
the persistent rumors regarding the
pope's i'll health and the previous post
ponements. Naturally a ceremony in
which the pope, half hidden in vest.
ments, is borne on chair and Is con-
tinually assisted, Is not the best op-
portunity to judge OF his appearance
or the state OF his health, but a man
capable Of undergoing the strain OF
such function has plenty OF vitality.
The pontiff's features seemed slightly
more clear cut and his hands trem-
bled perceptibly, but his voice was
plainly heard, though 1t has lost some
thing OF its power. The ceremony
was shortened as much as possible
and only lasted about thirty-five min
utes. All the cardinals OF the Curia
were invited to the Vatican half an
hour before the pope's appearance
and they assembled in the consistory
hall in order of precedence. forming a
striking picture. The entrance of the
pope, clad in white vestments and
surrounded by his TWISTED companions
in their robes, gave finishing touch
to the scene After receiving the
homage of those present the pontin
read prayer and then he proceeded
to the nomination of the new cardinals.
The following were created car
dinals: Mgr Fischer, archbishop OF
Cologne; Mgr. Taliani, papal nuncio at
Vienna; Mgr. Cavicchioni, secretary
of the congregation Of the council;
Mgr. Ajuti, papal nuncio at Lisbon;
Mgr Nocella, secretary OF the con-
sistory congregation; Mgr. katsch-
thaler, archbishop Of Salzburg, Aus
tria; Most Rev Herroy Espinoza, arch
bishop of Valencia.
At the conclusion of the consistory
the pope went to the throne room,
where, surrounded by the cardinals
and the papal court, he received the
homage of the new archbishops and
bishops. The ancient ceremonies
were observed, each of the prelates
kissing the pontiff's foot and receiving
the apostolic benediction.

hibits in the case.
When Mr.. Woolman had concluded
reading the bill of complaint and the
