OF JEWS.
Russian Police Calmly Smoke Their
Pipes and Look On.

st. Louis, May 20.-A resident Of ST.
Louis has received a letter from a rela'
tive in Kischenev, Russia, describing
the horrors of the recent massacre Of
Jews there.
The letter was written April il, and
says the writer and his wife were both
badly beaten and nearly killed. but,
with their two children, managed to
escape to the home of their eldest son,
who lives in a house owned by a ricn
man, who paid the police to guard his
houses. This house was protected
and not even a window in it was
broken.
The writer declares the massacre
was perpetrated by robbers. who were
protected and aided by the police. lie
describes at some length the torriG.e
scenes Of b~loodshed and carnage thai
he witnessed. and concludes by rs
sorting that had the onslaught contln-
ued one day longer the Jews would all
have been killed and none left to oarF
the dead. He said that during the
massacre he, from his place OF CON
coalment, saw police smoking lheh
pipes and calmly watching the robOers
butcher the Jews.
The cries of the wounded and those
who wer being killed could be heala
on all SIDES. Stores were looted anu
every piece Of merchandise thrown
into the street.
When the soldiers and hussafs d,
rived quiet vas quickly restored anu
the Jews came forth to bury theH
dead. Many bodies were SO pau,
mutilated that they had to be bureu
in boxes without immediate identho~
ton.

A RARE TREAT.
Mrs. Leslie Carter to Appear in st.
Paul and Minneapolis.

Paul and Minneapolis.
The regular theatrical season at the
Metropolitan theaters in st. Paul and
Minneapolis will be brought to a ter
minatiOn by the engagement OF Mrs,
| Leslie Carter. Mrs. Carter Will ap-
| pear in ST. Paul for one week, com
mencing Monday. May %, and a weeN
! later will be seer in Minneapolis. She
will present David BelascO's play, "Du
| Barry which has just completed an
engagement Of two months duration
at the Illinois theater. Chicago.
1t was the original intention of Man
ager BelasCo TO bring Mrs. Garter s
season to an end at the close of her
stay in Chicago. but he was ~prevallet
upon to bring her and the immense
company of one hundred and forty
eight players to the Northwest for a
fortnight. Mrs. Carriers acting OF the
principal role of "Du Barry" was the
theatrical sensation of New York when
il was given in the metropolis two
seasons ago.
Mrs. Carriers company travels by
special train Of twelve cars, seven or
which are devoted exclusively to tn"
immense equipment of scenery. Never
before in the history of the native
stage has there been such a really ire
mendous success achieved by any
American artistic as that scored by
Mrs. Carter, and her performance is
regarded by the important theatrical
writer's of the East as the most re-
markable contribution any English
speaking actress has recently made to
contemporary theatricals. One nUJa-
BILE fact in connection with the coming
of Mrs. Leslie Carter TO St. Paul and
Minneapolis is that she will be assist
ed by identically the same company
that appeared with her in the original
New York production of the Belasco
piece. Orders for seats for any of the
nance to be given by Mrs. Car
H. n the Twin Cities, when acCompa-
MED by remittances, will be filed lii

Duluth, May 20. - Several indict-
frauds in the Duluth land office dis
trict have beeen returned by the fed
eral grand jury. The indictments are
the result of Investigations made by,
special land agents into charges that
timber and stone claims were filed by
a large number of persons in pursn-
ance of contracts which lumber firms
instead of for the sole benefit of the
applicants.
One of those indicted is Charles P.
and a former receiver of the Duluth
land office. He is charged with sub
orning Annie Stensland to commit
perjury. Several months ago Miss
Srensland entered certain lands in
5-64-l4 under the stone and timber

An abstract of the title to the land
shows that it was decided to George G..
Stone Of this city shortly after the
patent was granted. 1t is claimed in
the indictment that Maginnis suborned
Miss Stensland to enter the above
mentioned land under the stone and
timber act for the benefit of persons
other than herself, and to swear false
ly as to the manner in which she had
secured the money to pay for it and
as to the ultimate disposal of the title
and the ownership Of the land.
Maginnis, when asked if he cared TO
say anything about the case, said:
