WAR GAME OVER.
Time Limit of Maneuvers EXPRESS
Value of Wireless Telegraphy
Is Proved.

Portland, Me-, Aug. 31.-The demon
stration made by the vessels of the squad
ron off this port during the night lasted
several hours. Apparently it had no
other effect than to draw the fire Of the
forts. Later the vessels withdrew to
Richmond's island and came to an
Choir.
The time limit set for the maneuvers
expired at noon. The regular and VOL
unteer soldiers who have assisted in
the defense of the forts during the week
began leaving early.
Col. Dunwoody, the chief officer in
charge of the signal corps of the defend
ing forces during the war maneuvers.
in his report to the war department
says that the most valuable signal sys-
tenn used was that Of wireless teleg-
raphy, and there has been almost q
contest between the army and navy sig
nal corps, as we'll as between the troops
and sailors.
The army station has interpreted nu-
merous messages sent from ship to ship
of the fleet, and has furnished news ia
the defending forces of almost every
attack that was to take place, and the
movements of the ships have been fully
reported. The navy, on the contrary
seems not to have been able to read the
army messages. The army telegraphers
claim the navy system is much slower

GERMANS LEAD WORLD.
Admiral Melville Declares That He
Finds the Best Battleships in
the Kafser's Navy.

''The rise of Germany as naval
and maritime power during the last
30 years has surprised the world; I
believe that her battleships, for their
tonnage, are the best afoat," said
Rear Admiral George W. Melville,
chief of the engineering bureau OF
the United States navy. in a paper
read by him before the Engineers
club of Philadelphia city.
Admiral Melville's subject was "The
Military Importance of Naval Engi-
neering Experiments" He referred
to the scope and purpose of the en-
cheering laboratory that is to be
established at Annapolis.
''The success Of Germany" he con-
tinued, "can only be accounted for
by recognizing the fact that study,
reflection and research must have
been expended in the preparation Of
the plans in the building up and the
organization of the shipyards and in
laying out and carrying on the work
of construction"

To Benefit the Indians.

Major G. L. Scott, acting Indian
agent at Onigum, has received from
Washington authority to make con-
siderable improvements on the proper
ty of which he is agent. Cass Lake
school will be enlarged under the di-
rection of DR.. Rodwell, agent at Cass
Lake, and the school at Cross Lake
will be enlarged, the saw mill will be
re-established at Red Lake agency,
horses will be purchased and the agen-
cy building repaired at Red Lake. A
school house barn will be built. This
work costing few thousand dollars,
Major Scott expects to have finished by
fall. Several buildings have been re-
Gently been added to the Leech Lake
agency and others are contemplated,
The report that the Indians are on
the increase is misleading. The statis-
tics show neither decline nor a in
crease, but that the population is at a
standstill, especially on the reserva-
tons.

FINDS DIAMOND IN SALVE.
Bookkeeper in Stock Yards at Chica-
go Discovers $3.50 Gem dn Twenty
Five Cent Box of Ungent.

The sum of Is cents invested in a
box of salve brought William Crimes.
bookkeeper, at the Union stock
yards, Chicago, net profitsof $149.-
IS, and as a result other stockyards
employees are spending their spare
change for the same brand of salye.
Crimes purchased box of salve from
druggist near the yards last week.
After using part of the salve he
discovered some substance in it which
on Investigation proved to look like
a diamond. He supposed It to be a
spurious stone, put in to advertise
the goods. On the following day,
however, he took it to a jeweler and
was told that it was diamond worth
perhaps $3.50. Crimes is employed bv
Walter Bros. in the Exchange Build
ing. It is supposed the stone was
lost by some one who is employed
in the factory where the salve is
made.

Coal is Found.

Reports from the the Coal country
north of Pelican Rapids are to the eff
feet that several shafts haNe been sunk
in different places, and coal has been
found in every instance, the veins be-
ing about three feet in thickness. The
coal is of the Ignite varirty, but of a
good quality.
The announcement that coal has
been discovered caused some excitement
here a year or two ago, but very little
has been heard of the matter lately,
and it was generally supposed that the
prospecting had been abandoned until
the blowing up of an engine and the
serious scalding of Engineer Peter Au-
duholm a few days ago called atten-
ton to the fact that work was still in
progress.
There is difference of opinion as to
whether it will pay to mine coal of this
thickness at the depth at which it is
being found, but some of the mining
experts hold that it may pay well. The
Duluth company which is pushing the
exploration has recently compelled all
of the men who enter it's employ to take
an oath to keepst about the discov-
cries.

PARASITE AFFECTS MINERS,
Twenty Thousand Men in Germany
Disabled by Disease Which
Battles the Doctors

The coal mining industry in West
phalia. Germany, is being seriously
hamPered by sickness among the min
ers arising from an intestinal para
site which recently has spread so
rapidly that the sickness has become
almost universal. Twenty thousand
men are affected, and some of the
pits have 80 per cent. of their work
ers disabled. The disease hitherto
has bafded the doctors and all reme-
dies have failed. The temporary bar
racks and isolation hospitals are be-
ing erected to prevent the spread Of
the disease and enable scientific in
vestigation of the parasite, which is q
sort of worm.

Ex-Secretary Of State for kentucky
Again Convicted Of Completely
in Goebel Murder.
Jury RETURNS VERDICT FIXING
HIS PUNISHMENT AT DEATH
Distinguished Prisoner Had Been
Found Guilty Twice BefOre-Large
Crowd Hears Observation-Disclosures Of
Murdered Man Instrumental In
COnvicting Kentuckian.

Georgetown, KY, Aug 31.-The third
trial of ex-Secretary Of State Caleb Pow
ers for completely in the murder of Gov.
William Goebel, in January. 1900,
closed shortly before noon Sat-
urday, with the extreme penalty
of hanging for the distinguished
prisoner, who had been in the peniten-
tiary for three years on life sentence.
The verdict of the jury, Guilty, and the
punishment of DEATH" was reported into
court at 1920 o'clock. Several hundred
people crowded the courtroom when the
verdict was read and the most intense
silence prevailed. The jury was polled,
and each man declared the verdict OF
guilt to be his finding. Powers sat
unmoved, while his attorneys asked for
time to make a motion for new trial.
Arthur Goebel broke down from the
strain on hearing of the verdict of guilty.
The jurors declined to state what &C.
Cured in the jury room. George Wyatt
was foreman.
Arthur Goebel, the brother Of the VIC
tim, is prominent merchant at Cincin-
natl, and he spent his time and fortune
for over three years in the prosecution
of those accused of being in conspir-
acy to kill his brother.
Powers has been convicted twice be-
fore, this being the third trial in which
the jury brought in verdict Of guilty
against him. On his previous trials, h3
escaped with a sentence of life impris-
onment, as the evidence was not suf7
ficiently strong against him to lead the
jury to infllcting the extreme penalty.
All three of the trials were held at
Georgetown, and in each Of them he had
the assistance Of the most able lawyers
who could be procured. Subscription
lists were circulated in his interest by
friends, and a sum of money was Sc
cured to defray the cost Of his repeated
trials and the Investigating Of the cir
cumstances which preceded the killing
of Gov. Goebel, in the interest of the de-
fense The last trial was distinguished
by the fact that Powers addressed the
jury in his own behalf, and in long re-
view of the case showed himself to be
a very competent attorney, while his ell
oquent pleading for his life astounded
those who had watched him carefully in
the past trials of the case.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 31.-The
local weather bureau Saturday pre-

gin to fall slowly, and that the Mis-

ger of a rise that would wreck Kansas
City's bridges seems to have passed.
Men have been put to work on the
James street bridge, portion Of
which was washed out Friday for the
second time. The Kansas river here
has gone up an additional two feet
and half since Friday, while the Mis-
souri, has risen two feet.

R RUSHING TUNNELS.
Yerkes Says Londoners Are Grow.
ing to Like American Energy.
The Railway Promoter De clares That
Work on Underground Railways
Has Been a source of Graf
ihcatiOn to Them.

Charles T. Yerkes, who is managing
director of the company which is
building the London underground
railways has arrived in this country.
He comes to attend to some of his in
terests in California, and expects to be
in this country about three weeks.
Speaking of the work on the London
subways, Mr.. Yerkes said:
The people of London are getting
used to having their streets tunneled
under, and therefore are not kicking
as much as they did at the beginning.
They now appreciate the magnitude of
the work we have undertaken and the
great benefit they will derive from a
speedy completion OF the work. They
are saying to us, therefore, in sub
stance, God speed and more power to
you:' And yet we are not digging up
London to anything like the extent
New York has been dug up in the
building of the subway.
Il don't say this by way Of CRITICS
ing New York methods of constrdc-
ton. Far from it. But owing to the
nature of the London subsoil we are
able to push our way forward, while
you have to dig it out or blast it out.
It we had to meet similar conditions
in London I don't believe the people
would ever stop kicking.
I think the British people are bit
surprised at the way work has been
rushed. No public work, or private
work, for that matter, in England ever
has been pushed as this work has been
pushed, and I think the people there
are not yet over the surprise that so
much could be accomplished in com
paratively so short time.
"But that which interests the British
public most, think, and that which
Interests our company most, is the
great power station on the bank of the
Thames which will supply all the pow
er we will use on the entire system.
The building covers four acres, and
when completed- will furnish ten $500
horse power. engines, which will fur
nish power to generate all our electric
ity, and when the machinery is all set
up which will be by July of next year,
we shall have room enough in the
building to increase our power capa-
city by at least so per cent.
Zone of the properties we acquired
was an old steam road that ran from
Ely to Harrow This road we have
equipped with what we know in this
country as the third rail system. We
have three rails, burt we have also wha
has not yet been introduced in this
country-namefy: a fourth rail. This
we use to conduct the surplus and
waste power. back to the power house.
I would not like to estimate the
amount. we save by the use of the
fourth rail, but it is an amount that
is worth while saving, I assure you.
On this road we are schooling our
motormen for future service"

'THEHORRORS OF WAR
Red Cross Conference at Geneva to
Seek to Lessen Them.
Important Steps Contemplated When
the Delegates from the Different
Nations Have Come Toge tn
er in September.

The delegation which will represent
international Red Cross conference to
be held in Geneva, Switzerland, in
September has been completed with
The appointment of Commander
Nathan Sargent, of the United States
navy. The other members of the del
egation are Francis B. LOOMS, assist
ant secretary of state, and Gen.
George B. Davis, judge advocate gem
eral of the army. The conference is
to be held for the purpose of revising
and extending the Geneva treaty of
1864, under which the various Red
Cross societies are recognized.
The delegates from the United
States are men of wide experience in
international affairs. Gen. Davis is
an authority on military law and the
author of textbook on interna-
tional law. Francis B. Loomis, the
assistant secretary of state, was min
lister to Venezuela during a trying
and important period and during a
wide and active consular service has
given careful attention to interna-
tiona1 questions. Commander Sar-
gent is Admiral Dewey's aid and for
ten years was naval attache of the
United States in Italy and Austria
during the formative period of the
| new navy. He is an accomplished
linguist. -
Many important topics will be con-
sldered by the international confer
ence in Geneva next September, chief
ly looking to the ameEoration of the
suffering and horrors of war. All
the principal nations will take part in
the conference.
Many important amendments to
the treaty are to be considered. It
is proposed to provide for a careful
examination of bodies on the field
prior to their burial or incineration,
as it is well-known fact that hasty
burials after battle sometimes con-
sign living men to the grave. It is
also proposed to enact that every Of
ficer or soldier shall bear on his per-
son mark rendering it easily posi-
BILE to establish his identity.
The suggestion will be made that
field hospitals and other temporary
establishments of that sort follow
ing troops on the field of battle to re-
ceive the sick and wounded shall be
considered, neutral under all circum-
stances, and that if they fall into the
hands of the enemy it shall be the
latter's duty to return them to the
army from which they were taken
when they are no longer required for
the care of the sick. The adoption OF
this provision would mark an impor-
tant and humane advance.
1t is also proposed to discuss the
question whether there is substantial
reason for retaining as the sole dis
tinctive sign a red cross on a white
field or whether it would be proper
to allow exceptions in the case of
non-Christian countries, such as Tur.
| key, which has substituted red
| crescent for the red cross.

Not Compulsory.

For the first time in many years the
public schools of Minnesota will open
this fall to all children without ques-
ton regarding vaccination. The new
statute which received Gov. Van SAINTS
signature in April last expressly for
bids the compulsory vaccination of any
child or the requirement of vaccination
as qualification for school attendance.
Only in case smallpox becomes cpl
demic can vaccination of school chill
dren be required, and then only when
a board of health and school board
acting jointly enact such rule. This
bill was compromise measure after
the defeat Of a bill prohi biting all
compulsory vaccination which last
spring passed the house and was re-
jected by the efforts of medical pem-
bers in the senate.

A Negro Fiend.

II. - ~ AsAOAASAs
Struggling in the cruel grasp Of Q
burly colored man, Ruby Steele, -
years Old, was carried from her home
IN Minneapolis at an early hour in the
morning and released only when her
abductor was forced by pursuers to
abandon his intent.
Awakening from sound sleep at |
o'clock in the morning by strong
pressure over her face the young girl
whose home is at 1414 Sixth street Sc.
Minneapolis was terrified by the sight
OF a negro sitting in the window.
She cried out in terror, and the in
truder leaped to her bed and bearing
her in his arms, ran to the window,
striking down in his fight the girls
mother, who had rushed to the room,
aroused by her daughters cry.
A strong odor Of chloroform perme-
mated the atmosphere.
Hurting now the half conscious child
to the balcony, the negro leaped from
the room. He seized the girl and,
gaining the ground, made off in the
darkness
The girl by this time had gained 9
better control of her senses, and
screamed in terror, the negro striving,
she says, to choke her into silence.
Neighbors were attracted to the
scene by the child's crys, and her as
sailant abandoned her, disappearing in
the night.
He was soon arrested and is sharply
guarded.

Weak

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-
ton. It is scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
ihe heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
