DETAILS OF v DUEL.
Illinois Editor and Military Man In
Farming Contest.

Illinois Editor and Military Mai In
Farming Contest.
An agricultural duel is to be fought
out to the death or till honor Is satisfied
between Colonel Frank O. Lowden of
Chicago and Editor Carl Feeser of
Mount Carmel, Ill, says a Chicago dis
patch.
The challenge was issued while Mr..
Lowden was stamping Ogle county.
Feeser stated in his paper that Mr..
LOwden was only a Chicago agricul-
turist and knew nothing about farm
ing. Mr.. Lowden responded in about
the same kind Of language and stated
that he desired to meet the editor with
cows, turnips or plows in honorable
combat. The newspaper main accepted.
The conditions of the Challenge are
that the men are to go next July to the
Lowden farm in Ogle county, where
they are to compete in milking Mr..
Lowden's thoroughbred Jersey cows,
feeding the Poland-C China hogs, tending
the chickens and, last but not least. in
pitching hay.
Feeling between the men is running
higher since the challenge, for the
colonel has been saying that the editor
is furtively studying old files of Mark
Twain's agricultural paper, and the ed
itor has printed that this may be only
a scheme to get an expert farm hand
without paying wages.

Rails From Ice.

Paris, April 4.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent OF the Malta reports an
interview with Prince Khilkoff, head
of the Russian military railroad COM
~munications, who arrived there from
Lake Balkal Sunday, in the course of
which the prince said that Lake Bal
kali was situated in a volcanic region.
While he was there an earthquake
made the ice rock like a stormy sea.
Prince Khilkoff has already ordered
the removal of the railway line from
the Ice. The railway around the lake
Is already finished from Kilka. The
remaining SIXTY miles to Irkutsk will
not be ready before August.
The prince said the question Of the

SERIOUSLY Ill.
THREE EXPECTED TO PERISH

FOOD BEFORE THE EASTER
MORNING SERVICE. a.

Minneapolis, April 4.-For several
hours Sunday it was feared that a
1rightful harvest of death among the
choir boys of Gethsemane church
might follow their eating of a break
fast prepared for them by the women
Of the church.
AS it is, twenty-seven victims of
trichinae or ptomaine poisoning are
IN various stages of illness, and fatal
cases.
Richard Olson, a boy living in South
Minneapolis, was reported in a dan
gerous condition last night. Irving
Lupton and Gilbert Waldron, two boys,
and Miss Myrtle johnson, are in st.
Barnabas hospital.

DR.. Charming, an inferno at st. Bar
nabas hospital, made an examination
OF some of the pork which was served
at the breakfast and found unmistak-
able traces of trichinae. "
Partook Generously Of Food.
The breakfast was served to the
boys in the hall adjoining the church
by members of the Ladies' guild. This
was done because of the early Easter
service at $3.50 at the church, which
necessitated the boys presence at an
early hour. Some of them had come
long distances and partook generously
OF pork chops, doughnuts, coffee, po-
tatoes in cream and bread and butter.
The potatoes had been cooked the
night before and allowed to stand in
tin dishes, and many believed that the
poisoning was attributed to that
cause. However, the physicians who
are attending the most serious cases
declare that the boys are victims of
very serious.
Norman Johnson was the first to be
taken i'll. He pitched forward in his
place and was removed to a room in
the rear of the church. He was soon
followed by other boys, until out of
forty-ive members of the surpliced
choir only seven remained at the close
of the service.
The boys were stricken at the regu-
lar morning service at 1890 o'clock,
about three hours after their breakfast

Sir William Van Horne, chairman Of
the board Of directors Of the Canadian
Pacific railroad and president of the
Cuba company, which has been in
strumental In developing industries
throughout the eastern end of Cuba,
In speaking OF his recent conference
with William II. Taft, secretary Of
war, regarding the construction of
railroads in the Philippines, pointed out
the similarity Of conditions governing
the construction Of railroads in Cuba
and the Philippines, says the New
York Herald. In both instances the
susceptibilities of the inhabitants play
cd an important part. Sir William ex-
planned that it had been on account of
his experience In building railroads In
Cuba that Mr.. Taft had wished to talk
over with him the Philippine project.
"The success with which we have
met In Cuba," said Sir William, has
been due largely to the methods en-
ployed in dealing with the native in
habitants. If we had been guided by
q shortsighted policy of chipping off a
little here and a little there at the x
pense OF the native we should have
failed. Seeds would have been plant
ed which would have borne bitter
fruit for generations. We e~ndeavored
to obtain the confidence of the natives
as the very basis Of u operations.
We employed only native labor in con-
structtng our 400 miles Of railroad,
or1 xyyo q rO yHaa mn h,,{15fno 10nfro o+c,
To have done so would have been sui
cidal.
1.-THE success Of the policy which we
pursued in Cuba leads me to the be-
lief that the same policy must be pur-
sued in the Philippines If the dual OBJ
ject of the government, to educate the
F1lipinos in respect for and confidence
in Americans and at the same time to
obtain the industrial development Of
the islands, is to be secured. The gov
eminent has three alternatives - 1t
could either build the railroads with
its own forces. or 1t could let con-
tracts for construction, or it could en-
dow with sufficient power some compa-
ny whose interests would be the same
as the governments interests, aiming
to the permanencJ of such a corpora
ton.
1.-THE annual cost to the government
Of providing for 800 miles Of railroad
would be no more than the annual cost
Of maintaining a single regiment. If
by the construction of railroads the
necessity Of a standing army should
be removed and a native constabulary
established the inestimable advantage
is apparent"

III Horses.

Bad habits in horses must always
have their origin in bad handling when
they N young. Kind treatment will
develop the best there Is in a horse,
but meanness to colts hurts a horses
disposition permanently. Jerking at
the bit and other Ill treatment never
do any good. Horses have long men,
cries. They do not forget injuries.

Race

The Japanese soldier was faint with
loss of blood and abstinence from
rice.
The Red Cross nurse held a bottle to
his lips.
"What is it?" feebly whispered the
soldier.
"Whisky." replied the nurse.
Resolutely he turned his lips away
from the tempting bottle.
"No," he murmured; II don't like the
last three letters of the word. They

Seeing that he was determined, the
nurse gave him a large swig Of brandy
out of the same bottle, and he was

General kuropatkin Orders the Fawan
Set Free.
N~ewchwang, April 4.-The press
boat boat Fawan, placed under arrest
Saturday, was released Sunday by or
der OF General Kuropatkin. The
Fawan was detained because she had
passed between lines, having come in
directly from Chemulpo. She was re-
leased on condition that she leave port.
Her release was brought about wholly
by United States Consul H. B. Miller,
who has the confidence of the Russian
authorities. Though Of British owner
ship. the British consul declined to
act in the case. t
The release of the Fawan immediate
~ before the case was forced upon the
cognizance of the British consul con-
tributed to the amelioration of a new
situation which has arisen in the past
two days through the arrest and de-
tention for some hours of a British con-
ductor Of the Chinese railway at a
station on the west side Of the river
outside of the port limits. This Incl
dent. together with the detention of
the Fawan, has prolonged the stay of
the British gunboat Espiegle, which is
interpreted by some as a British re-
consideration of Russian Jurisdiction
over Newchwang as provided in the
declaration Of martial law.

ATTITUDE OF. GREAT BRITAIN.
Desires That Friendship With Russia
Be Based Upon Sincerity.

Be Based Upon Sincerity.
London, April 4.-The Daily Tele-
graph, discussing the altered tone of
the Russian press towards the United
States and Great Britain and the pos
sihilities of a rapproachement in an
editorial. which probably represents
the governments view, says:
"The object of our foreign office has
been for years, ever since Lord Sails
bury's first administration, to arrive
at a friendly and honorable arrange
ment with Russia. Heartily as we
welcome the symptoms of a better un-
derstanding, such friendship must be
based upon absolute sincerity. We
cannot consent to any interference
with the independence Of Japan and
all attempts to destroy the good feel
ing between Great Britain and the
United States must be abandoned. The
further opening of the far Eastern
markets on equal terms to Anglo
American commerce will be insisted
upon.
eff Russia is prepared to limit her
demands with China, and if she is
willing to disarm Port Arthur and
Vladivostok, which can only be a
menace to Japan, she can have peace
tomorrow with the hearty concurrence
of Great Britain and the United States.
