LOSES HIS IDENTITY
Stays Officer, Private Hides for
Many Years.

To escape the vengeance Of the fam
fly of a man he had slain in self-de-
fense forty years ago, John Grove fed
from Maryland to st. Paul, and for
twentyeight years concealed his
identity here under the name of Thonl-
as Mitchell.
During that period he married, and
neither his wife nor his intimate
friends discovered during his lifetime
his real name or learned Of the tragedy
which had darkened his early years.
Eleven years after the death Of
Mitchell, who was engaged in business
as grading contractor, his widow,
now residing at 1858 Rosabel street, dis
covered through an investigation by
the government pension office, to which
she applied for pension and back pay,
that his true name was John Grove,
and that he carefully concealed his
identity during the latter part Of his
life in fear of the vengeance of the
family of an officer whom he had slain
in an alteration.
Lincoln Pardoned Him.
Mitchell, or Grove, served in Mary
land regiment in 1864, and in that year
was sentenced to military prison by a
court-martial for killing an officer.
OAONC anu II4S Ol1C0E naQ a dispute
and, in a fight, which followed. the off,
Ger was killed by Grove in self defense.
After Grove was sent to prison the
facts OF the case were brought before
President Lincoln and Grove was par
doned.
Changing his name and going West
In the hope Of eluding the family of the
slain man, who were enraged at his
liberation. Grove settled in ST. Paul un-
der. the name of Thomas Mitchell, He
was married and lived in the city twen-
ty-eight years, until his death, which
occurred in 1S93
Recently Mrs. Mitchell decided to
make an application for pension, and
the investigation conducted by the au-
thorities revealed the history Of her
husband. A few months ago she. was
awarded pension of So per month and
$500 back pay. After securing the pen
sion for Mrs. Mitchell, Mat Oscar See
bach proceeded to secure her pay for
the time her husband was in prison
and yesterday he was notified that the
money had been awarded.

solidity and the pastor must make the ap-
plication.
Needs Personal Work Among Lalty.
What the church needs above all else, is
personal work among the laity looking
towards the salvation of man. Without
this personal work the pastor cannot Sc
cure nor hope for the best results.
DR.. Stout said the situation in Mime
sofa was different from that of any other
community. A higher average Of intel
lectual ability was needed here, he
thought, and while the ministers in Min
nesota, and especially those within the
ST. Paul conference, were at the top of
their profession, the church would never
succeed as it should until it adopted more
socialistic platforms.
''St. Paul is now enjoying hea1thful
prosperity" continued DR.. Stout, and the
outlook for the church is very hopeful
It developed at the meeting that a num-
Der of the Methodist churches In St. Paul
are planning for large improvements,
which indicate a general prosperity, in
spite Of the setbacks received few
years ago.
The Wesley church, on Rice street. is to
have a new home as soon as a location
nearer the business part Of the city can
be secured, and new building will be
erected in the spring. The Olivet, on
Smelling avenue, is also planning for a
new structure, which will be erected this
spring providing a suitable location is
found. A location nearer the business
section is also desired for this church.
The Bates Avenue church is to be re-
placed by new building on corner dag
onally opposite the location of the present
church, and the First NJ E. church has
named committee to purchase lots on
st. Anthony HILL where a new church will
be erected as soon as the present property
can be disposed of. $..- ~

STATE GETS TITLE
TO SWAMP LANDS
Big and Valuable Tract on
CaSS Lake Reservation Is
Property involved.

BY ruling of the United States de-
partment Of the interior, which has
just been announced, the state Of Min
nesota is confirmed in its title to
swamp lands in the Case Lake Indian
reservation, valued at several hundred
thousand dollars.
The state based it's claim to title in
these lands upon the swamp land act
of 1860, and therefore, contended that
they were not properly included in the
treaty of 1864, whereby certain terri
tory embracing the lands in question
was set apart as an Indian reservation,
or subject to the act of 1889 to dis
pose Of the reservation for the benefit
of the Indians.
The claim of the state was presented
to the interior department last October
by Auditor S. G. Iverson in a brief
was referred to Judge Frank L. Camp
drawn by Attorney Douglass. The case
bell, assistant attorney general for the
interior department, who on Dec. 8
returned to Secretary Hitchcock an
opinion in favor of the state. This
opinion was at once approved by Sec
retary Hitchcock and therby became
effective.
Is Withdrawn From Sale.
Many Of the tracts of land claimed
by the state were included in the lists
from which timber is to be sold at
Cass Lake Dec. 5 and 2S, and after this
decision of the department Of the in
terror it became necessary that those
pieces should be eliminated from the
lists. Yesterday Mr.. Iverson received a
| special swamp land list embracing
11,17S acres which is all OF the swamp
and overf1owed land that was in
cluded in the selections for the Cass
Lake sale. Besides this property to be
stricken from the lists for the Cass
Lake sale it is expected that there will
be from $4,000 to $1,000 acres saved
| to the state by this ruling of the inte-
| rior department.
The 11,178 acres first referred to
must carry timber, as it was included
in a list for the timber sale and it is
presumably valuable for that reason
The other lands will be chiefly yalu-
able for agricultural purposes, and It IS
expected that the legislature will make
provision for draining them by estab-
fishing complete system Of bitches.
and therby make them fit for culti-
yation.
The proceeds of these lands will be
equally divided between the school
funds and the state institutions. in ac-
cordance with the constitutional
amendment Of 1881.

London (By Cable)-The powers

alton should there be any tendency u

tionary spirit. 1t is believed that con
ditions at Belgrade are not as serer

Europe cannot tolerate that high ad'

Another dispatch from Belgrade says
the draft OF bill, with marginal notes
written by the late King Alexander. has
been found in the palace. 1t PROVIDED
for the proclamation Of Queen Dragaa

dispatch adds, is held by the conspiratorS
to be complete justification tor their &C.

The official Servian dispatches confirm
the press and other statements to the
effect that the provisional government
has decided to leave the choice OF q
king to the Skuptschina.

King had degraded Servia and that he
must abdicate. The Kings answer
was to draw revolver and kill Natl
movies on the spot. Colonel Mischics
picked up the document and present
ed it again. King Alexander waved
it from him. The officers then, with
their revolvers drawn, fired hail OF
bullets and the royal couple fell to-
gether to the ground. The King lin
gered until q o'clock. when he died.
The floor of the royal chamber was
almost covered with blood. .
The band who carried out the assas-
sinationS appear to have met with a
great resistance on the balcony side
OF the palace, where the curtains are
torn and the window broken as though
the occupants had tried to escape into
the garden. Torn gloves and ARTICLES

United States Consul Britain at

Star, las advised the secretary OF
state of a unique method of insuring
the freshness of eggs adopted by the
Dairymen's association of the city OF
Kehl "The agents Of that associa'
tion," he says, 'go among the farmers
each day and purchase eggs, the farm
er guaranteeing that these have been
laid within the previous twenty-four
hours. In consequence of this guaran'
tee the association pays the farmer
three pfernigs, or about half a cent,
above the regular market price for
each eggs. The Dairymens assccia-
ton then makes a record Of each pur-
chase by giving the farmer a regis
tered number and numbering each egg
in corresponding manner.
when consumer chances to fad
o. stale egg he returns it to the dealer,
who in turn charges it to the associa-
ton. which reports the matter to the
farmer. The method is protection
to all parties concerned and is said to
meet with much success. The eggs
are delivered il cases containing hve

New Process Which Decreases Great
Iy the Cost Of Production.
Advices received by the State De-
partment at Washington from United
States Consul HayI es at Rouen,
France, throw more light on the new
process that has been discovered by
which alcohol may be produced by
chemical synthess. 1t is predicted
that the cost Of such production can
be reduced to less than 10 cents gal
lC Thus far the cheapest alcohol
produced has cost nearly 20 cents
gallon. At this prize Germany pro-
duces quantities CT alcohol, potatoes
being used as the vegetable base. By
the French process no vegetable mat
ter is employed. From Carburet OF
calcium-a direct combination Of car
bon and hydrogen in the electric arc
-aetylene is obtained. Sufficient
hydrogen tilen is added to produce
ethylene, and by combining water
with ethylene alcohol Is obtained.
While the cost of alcohol Ivy the new
process has not yet been reduced
much below its cost as produced from
vegetable matter, it is predicted with
confidence by eminent French chem
lists that in the near future it may BIO
produced by the new process at
cost of about half that which Germany
pays to obtain it from potatoes
