day. The calendar is the longest it
has been in years, there being nine
criminal and thirty-three civil cases.

the case resulted in the arrest of
Wells in Michigan. He is about twen-
ty-one years of age. Good counsel Is
secured on both sides and the case
will be sharpely contested. Other
murder cases are on the docket from
Mcintosh county, Gottlieb Schaffer,
Frederick Il Bensinger, John .Nagel,
Peter Reidiinger and Andfeas Schlabs
being charged with killing Chris Rott
of Kuhn at Ashley last winter. Carl
Schoop is also charged with killing
man. A. G. Dagner of Oakes also
lies in the county Jail on the charge
of criminally assaulting his fourteen
year-Old stepdaughter. @.

K. s- THE PROSECUTIONS. E.,

Washington, June 25.-The presi-
dent has sent the following letter to
the attorney general: ls.-.E. .a
Sir: AS you know the charges in
connection with the postoff1ce depart
ment are now, being investigated by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow, who has had placed at his dis
posal by the postmaster general every
resource Of the department, including
the services Of Mr.. Robb, whom you
detailed from the department Of JUS
mediately after the removal Of Mr..
Tyner. AS a result of this investiga-
tion a number Of indictments have al
ready been returned and it Is prob
able that other indictments will here
after be asked for. There can be no
greater offense against the government
than a breach Of trust on the part of
la public official, or the dishonest man
agement OF his Office, and, OF course,
every effort must be exerted to bring
such offenders to punishment by the
utmost rigor OF the law. The district
attorney OF the District Of Columbia
.
Faithfully and Zealously Seconded
the efforts OF the postofice depart
ment in this matter, but the amount
OF work in the Office is such as to
make it difficult, without neglecting
other important duties, to devote all
the time necessary to the prosecution
of these cases.
II suggest, therefore, that if you
cannot detail some OF your present
staff you appoint special assistants in
these postottice cases, not only to take
up the cases in which indictments have
been found or hereafter may be found,
but to examine into all charges that
I'have been made against officials in the
postal service, with a view to the re-
moval and prosecution OF all guilty
men in the service and the prosecu-
tionsof guilty. men whether in the sery-
ice or not, where the cases are not
barred by the statute OF limitations"
Carrying out the presidents sugges.
tion Attorney General Knox has ap-
pointed Charles J. Bonaparte OF Balrl-
more special attorney to assist in
these prosecutions and MI. Holmes
Conrad, former solicitor general, will
be rendered a like appointments.

MINISTER'S PARTICIPATE IN ssss
II RECEPTION.

Belgrade. Servia, June 25. King Pc
ter arrived here at 10 a. M. Ite Wa NJ Salsl
received with great enthusiasm.
The ministers, government OH Gals,
judges, municipal and military aut thor%
tiles and leading citizens were assem-
bled on the platform of the railroad
station, which was profusely decorat-
ed. The only foreign representatives
who participated in the reception OF
the king was the Russian minister, IA.
Tcharykoff, and the Austrian minister
Herr Mumba, with the members OF
their respective Legations. "a guara
of honor, with a band, saluted as King
Peter descended from his car and
greeted the cabinet ministers. The
premier, M. Avakumovics, introduced
M. Tcharykoff to the king and the
Russian minister presented the AUS
trian minister. Thus the Austrian min
lister had no intercourse with the pro-
visional government. with which thus
tar he has had no relations.
The premier made speech before
the kings departure from the railroad
station, welcoming his majesty, who,
in brief reply, expressed his appre-
citation Of his election to the throne
The king then exchanged greetings
with the cabinet ministers, including
Colonel Machin, minister OF public
works, who took a leading part in the
assassinations, and interchanged COM
pliments with the Russian and Aus
trian ministers. siSs 81 8sSs
Streets Crowded With People.
A procession was then formed and
the king proceeded to the cathedral.
The streets were lined with troops and 4
crowded with people who had been
pouring into Belgrade from the PROV
inces during the last day or two. Ss
After the celebration of mass, which
was attended with all the plendor uf
the Eastern church, King Peter drove
in state to the new palace.
Although the kings entry into Bel
grade was distinguished by a diplo-
matte boycott his reception by the
people was everywhere marked by
heartiness, which approached genuine
enthusiasm, in which all classes par
ticipated.
The officials were in uniform and
wore all their decorations.
Workmen were engaged all night
long in finishing the erection of Vene-
tian masts and triumphal arches and
some of the latter were only completed
as the firing of guns announced King
Peters entry into his realm when the
train traversed the bridge connecting
Servia with Austria.

A ,Labor-Saving Machine. sas
F. A. H. Smith and ye editor drove
out Monday to James Haskett's farm
south of town to see manure-spreader
which Mr.. Smith has just sold ont there.
The machine is called Kemp 8 Bnrpee's
manure spreader and il a great time
and labor saver to the farmer. It is
built like q wagon. the box holding
seventy bushels Of manure. The bot
tom of the box is made of Stats and
when the machine is set in gear the
load moves slowly back to a cylinder
on the rear end which is armed with
long teeth and which throws the ma
nure evenly over the land. The ma
chine is entirely automatic. When the
load is off it reverses and the slat bot
tom returns to place. The feed Of the
cylinder can be changed SO as to regu-
late the amount of manure spread to
the acre. Mr.. Haskett was using 800
bushels to the acre when we were
down. He says the spreader will
easily pay for itself in the time saved
and in the quality Of work done. The
time has come when Bottineau county
farmers will have to- pay more atten-
tion to fertilizing. The majority of our
farmers have not yet awakened to the
necessity of taking care of manure
piles and using them to enrich the
soil. Mr.. Haskett so disposes of the
manure from his stables that he always
has pile of well-rotted manure, some
of it being three or four years old.
This spreads evenly on the land, gives
no trouble in plowing and the results
are very satisfying. It would pay
many Of the farmers around Bottineau
to 60 to Mr.. Haskett's farm four miles
southeast of town and see the manure
spreader. It is the only one in the
county and quite a number go out
theEeeS Kit work. 5s
