The Colombian senate has unani-
mously rejected the canal treaty.
When the Panama route was selected
the president was authorized to
change to the Nicaragua route pro-
vided the treaty with Colombia was
not ratified without unnecessary de-
lay. The matter has hung fire about
fourteen months and now seems to be
definitely knocked out, so it would
seem that under the instructions of
congress there is nothing for the pres
ident to do but turn to the Nicaragua
crossing. The administration papers
in commenting on the situation. seem
to agree that the president will not do
this, as he regards the latter as i'm
practicable, but will take steps to Sc
cure the Panama route. They suggest
two methods of procedure. The first
is to. encourage Panama to secede
from Colombia and then for us to
step in and recognize her as an indie
pendent state and do business with
her. The second suggestion is to
take forcible possession of the strip
of land necessary for the construc-
ton of the canal on the ground that
it is q public necessity.

A Sure Cure for Diarrhoea.

Coming as it does, in the busiest
season, when a man can least afford
to lose time, sure and quick cure
for diarrhoea is very desirable.
Anyone who has given it trial will
tell you that the quickest, surest and
most pleasant remedy in use for this
disease is Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
There is no loss of time when IL is
used, as one or two doses of 1t will
cure any ordinary attack. IL never
fails, not even in the most severe and
dangerous cases. For sale by &. A.

This week and next general interest
will centre in the cup races now being
sailed in the vicinity of New York.
The first race was scheduled for yes
terday and the others will be sailed
with one week day intervening between
each race until one of the boats shall
have won three races. The yachting
sharps seem to be at sea as to which
will win, but agree that each is the
fastest boat ever produced by either
country. In predicting victory or de-
feat the opinions seem to be dictated
more by what is desired than by any
process of reason.

favor of electing General Miles
Grand Commander as testimonial
of their esteem on account of the
lack of courtesy shown him by the

republican politicians will not permit
any such action as it would be con-

and so would be considered a politi-
cal move. Miles says he is not seek

all of US to overlook the fact that
a similar contest on smaller scale
took place on the lakes last week
when the American challenger,
IrOndequoit, defeated the Canadian
yacht and captured the Canadian cup
for which we had been striving for
some years. Five races were sailed
and the American boat captured three

Expulslons and Even Prosecutions May
Follow at La Crosse.
LA CROSSE, WIS. THE investigation
following the suspension OF twenty
students from the high school has de-
veloped some sensational information, and
instead Of more suspensions It is said
that expulsions, and possibly prosecu-
tions, may result
For several weeks the high school boys
have been playing pranks Of all descrip-
tions, and it was for locking in Professor
Leahy that the twenty boys were sus-
pended. Since that other pranks have
been practiced. Yesterday fire was dis
covered in the basement Of the high school
building, while the school was In session.
An investigation developed the fact that
it was of incendiary origin and was one
of the tricks on the faculty.
= A few days ago some Of the boys bought
a quantity Of valerian Of ammonia, which
they scattered upon the floors Of. the diff
ferent rooms. The smell arising from the
drug was extremely nauseating and final
ly became unbearable Some of the
students became i'll and had. to go home
The entire building has been thoroughly
funigated, but the smell still remains.
Edward Callahan, son of DR.. Callahan,
one Of the prominent physicians of the
city, has been suspended pending an in
vestigation of this matter.

ANOTHER YEAR FOR SMITH
Fargo Retains Its Superintendent After {
Sharp Fight.


FARGO, NJ D-There was a. fight
against the reelection of Superintendent
Smith of the city schools, but he was
chosen by the board for another year. The
greatest surprise was the failure of the
board to re-elect Miss Kent principal Of
the high school. She has held that posi-
tion for about fifteen years. The selec-
tion of a successor was left to the next
meeting. Some Of the married teachers
were dropped, but two, one Of them a, prin-
cipal Of ward school, were retained.
According to a correspondent from Rem
vile, the McDdnalds are having lot Of
trouble. A.. b. Mcdonald was formerly
townsite proprietor at Cando and after
wards owner of the Fargo Argus. Later
he moved to Renville and is endeavoring
to reorganize old Renville county. Frank
Mcdonald, his son, was editor of the paper
and postmaster. He was charged with
falsifying dates on money orders In con-
test cases, and now it is alleged that A. B.
Mcdonald has been arrested and held un-
der $1,000 bonds on the charge of driving
seven horses across the line and selling
them to Canadian farmers. e..
Professor Waldron of the North Dakota
Agricultural college has been in Walsh
county investigating the Hessian fly. An
investigation shows that the pests. have
wintered well and are ready for business.
The professor thinks that fields plowed last
fall will be immune, but it will require
early burning or plowing of stubble lands
this spring to eradicate the pests. They
were found last year in several sections
of the state, though no serious damage
| was done. -. -

BETRAYED BY FRIEND
Slayer of Reider Near Livingston
Confesses, but Would Justify
the Killing.
Points to His Daughters Shame and
a Long List Of Abuses and
Insults.
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal.
Livingston, Mont, March 300. A.
Zidmaier, under arrest here for the mur-
der Of George Reider, has confessed.
Along with the confession comes a story
Of misplaced confidence which it is felt
will have great weight with the jury, as
showing some justification for the crime.
Zidmaier asserts that he and his family
were dogged and abused by Reider until
it became necessary to kill him.
zidnaier and Retder came to this
country together from Bavaria, where
they had been the best Of friends. They
settled on adjoining ranches on Tran
creek, where the friendship continued un-,
til, asserts Zidmaier, Reider seduced his
daughter.
For this crime Zidmaier started to notify
the authorities but finally agreed to let
the matter drop. This was the begin
ming OF a quarrel which two years ago
resulted in the killing Of Reider by lid
maier. His daughters shame, says lid
maier, cause his wife to commit suicide.
Thereafter Reider continued his abuse by
beating Zidmaier's children, cutting down
his fences and stealing his farm 1mpie-
ments.
Finally, Zidrnaier says, Reider stole q
chain, and meeting him in a nopen field
zidmaier charged him with the theft. Rel
der came at him with an axe, he says,
whereupon it became necessary to shoot
him. Zidmater started to Livingston 20
surrender, but was dissuaded by John
weidenbauer. who is the complaining
witness in the present suit He was ad-
vised to bury the body and say nothing,
he says, which he did.
The state, on the other hand, says It
will be able to show that the murder was
unprovoked and most coldblooded in char
acter; that Zidmaier lay in wait behind
some bushes and deliberately killed Reider
without giving him a chance for his life.
It will also be asserted that the quarrels
were provoked by 'Zidmaier. The trial
| will begin next week. - -

Horrible Murder.
Head of Victim Had Been Severed
From the Body Trial at
Devils Lake.
Special to The Journal.

special TO Ine journal. a EEssz
Devils Lake, N. D., March 2O.-Daniel
Maloney, who has been on trial all of this
week charged with the murder Of Nick
Nachtscheim, was found guilty by the jury
at o'clock this morning and life SEN
tence recommended.
Nick Nachtscheim, an old man who
had been running a blindpig was found
dead, with his head severed from his
body, in a cellar under his house on the
third of last August. The condition of
the body indicated the crime had been
committed ten days or more prior to his
discovery.
About four months later, while drinking
heavily, Daniel Maloney, hard character,
attempted to commit suicide by cutting his
wrists with a razor. He bled profusely
and believing he was about to die is said
to have made this admission:
Il am done for now. My God! My
God! Poor Nick, what made me do it? ]
have never had a nights rest since. !
did it and have never been able to look a
man in the face since.'
Upon this staenent he was arrested.
Witnesses testified as to threats he made
against Nachtscheim prior to the murder.
The evidence was entirely circumstan-
ttal but strong chain was presented.
Maloney's defense was that he had tre-
mems when he cut himself and held nc
knowledge of what he did. The verdict
meets with popular approval:
