LONG LIFE CLOSED.
Paul Gardner, One of Langdon's Old Time
Residents Passes Away.

Tuesday evening at about eleven
o'clock Paul Gardner, one of the oldest
and best known residents Of Langdon
died and the announcement brought
with it sadness to every Langdon home.
His long residence here and many ad-
mirable traits of character making him
a general favorite with our people young
and old.
It was only within three days of the
end that the illness from which Mr.
Gardner has long past been ailing took
serious turn and his physicians des-
paired being able to lengthen out the
span of life of one whose years in
the community had been full of honor
and usefulness. The deceased was
born in England in 1886 and with his
wife who survives came to this country
when the progress of civilization in the
Dakotas was but in its primary stage.
His residence in Langdon, dating back
to the middle SOS, has been that of an
active business man until the time of
his partial retirement through i'll health
year or SO ago. Up to the time of
establishing the electric light plant here
in 1897 he was extensively engaged as
contractor and builder. Personally he
was kind and affable and possessed of
the vein of wit and humor peculiar to
his countrymen. He labored hard dur
ing the early days and was in comfortable

GRAVE CRISIS IN kWANGSI.

Victoria, b. c., June 25.-The crisis
grows more grave in Kwangsi. The

saws the local mandarins have recelv-
ed the following telegram from kwang-
81:
THE rebellion is increasing and
daily grows more dangerous and more
formidable The imperial army here
is too weak to be Of any use and Is
insufficient to garrison all important
cities and towns. The latest news Is
that the rebels have besiegel the city
of Chungchow of the prefecture OF
Taipingfu in Kwangsi and that unless
relief is sent at once it will certainly
fall into the hands of the rebels. WI,
the prefect, has been sending an ap'
peal for troops to the governor, wang
Chi Hung. and he has ordered force
| under Ho Tao Tai and Major General
Pan to proceed to raise the sieze.
Chungchow is a departmental city
twenty miles east OF the kwanktuns

Washington, June 25.-The negotia-

have reached a critical phase grow

States and Japan for the opening OF
ports in Manchuria. The Russian gov
ernment has professed to entertain
no opposition TO this demand, but the
Chinese commissioners take the
ground that the ports mentioned in the
demands will be opened to foreign
trade in the future, when trade neces-
sites seem TO require it. Therefore
they propose to let this matter lie in
allegiance and conclude the trade con-
vention without this section. The
