charge OF contempt Of court IN failing to
obey an order obtained by Mrs. Mcdonald

her rs per month for the support OF her
self and children. Mcdonald was gran
tie cutter at the Woodbury. sheds in
Bethel and lived with his family in the
kittredge house laat summer. Mrs. Me-
Donald claimed that his treatment was so
abusive she could not live with him, and
one evening last summer she and her four
children suddenly disappeared.
Mcdonald appeared to be greatly sur
prised at her leaving and made considera-
BILE unavaiilng efforts to locate his family
IL later developed that his family was con-
cealed under the friendly shelter of a farm
house not over two miles from Bethel VIII
lage. Thence Mrs. Mcdonald went to
Northtield and stopped with her sister and
then to Barre.
Soon after leaving Bethel papers were
served on her husband in a suit in her be-
half, asking for a separate maintenance,
and at the June term he was ordered to
pay her rs per month. After Mrs. Nc
Donald left Bethel, her usband had an

CORNER STONE is LAID.
Manual Training High School
Ceremony Today.

The corner stone of the manual
training school was laid this afternoon
AFTER rather short notice that the
ceremony would take place.
The board of education invited the
Masons to conduct the ceremonies at
tending the laying of the corner stone
put the contractor announced sudden
" tnat ne had reached a point in the
erection of the building which necessi-
tated the immediate setting of the cor
ner stone or a delay in the work.
As the plans were to hold the cere-
mony on April % it was found neces-
Sary to lay the corner stone at once in
order that the builders might go on
with their work and not be delayed
The notice was short but the 500 high
school pupils furnished a good sized
audience on short notice.
superintendent Davidson, who left
after the ceremony to become superin-
tendent of the schools at Omaha, was
master of ceremonies. Short speeches
were made by F. E. Mallory, president
of the board of education, by Mr..
Davidson and Judge T. F. Carver.
The corner stone is Of red granite. 1t
is the gift of the high school class
which graduated last January Each
class which graduates from the high
school leaves behind some memtnto.

ATTACKED BY MOROS.
Gen. Wood Failed in Attempt at
Peaceful Negotiations.

Washington, April 1.-THE following
bulletin is posted at the war depart
ment today:
General Wood reports that he invit-
ed Sultan Taral to meet him at Wears
on March 81, for consultation and that
the sultan refused to come and instead
made extensive hostile preparations.
Marching columns from Marahut and
Wears left on the second of April to
assemble the cavalry.
The Wears column was fired into
all night ten miles from Wears and
one enlisted man was seriously wound
ed. The Marahut column was strong
ly resisted at the mouth of Taraca
river although every effort was made
to accomplish a peaceful landing; two
enlisted men were seriously wounded
The combined forces assembled in the
valley on the 4th of April, and a large
number of hostile fortified cottas Occu-
pied, were destroyed from April 4 to
April Z. The troops then returned to
their proper stations. Newcomb. Com
pany K, Fourteenth infantry and
Wampler, Company D, Twenty-third
infantry, were killed. Every effort was
made to bring the Moros to terms
peacefully, but in each instance our
troops were attacked before firing a
shot and force was only used when all
peaceful methods failed and the enemy
at the bottom of all the trouble on
the east side of LanaO. for two years,
are now in hiding and they will be ar
rested if possible.
General Wade to whom General
Woods report was made and who
transmitted it to the department, adds
that the conditions in the Taraca val
ley for the last three months have been
such as to render the above action alb
solutely necessary.

WAS NO OFFENSE.
Chief McColIum's Failure to Destroy
Government stamps.

The United States grand jury now
in session in the federal court Will
not take action in regard to the fail
ure of Chief of Police McCollum of
this city to scratch the revenue
stamps on the beer kegs which he
emptied of their contents three weeks
ago Assistant United States Attor-
ney McKeever effectually closed all
argument on this score this morning
by making the following statement:
1T would make a very thin case to
prosecute McCollum on that charge,
for the simple reason that his failure
to scratch the revenue stamps was
not made in connection with a sale.
The fact that he emptied the beer
out of the kigs. and did not touch the
stamps, does not hold him liable to
our court or any other The grand
jury Will do nothing with the matter
for the reason that it will never be
that the charge could not be sus-
tanned"
For several days the chief and some
ing to gossip. about this probable
action of the grand jury. The mat
ter came up in connection with his
eInptying about a carload of beer
from the kegs. The side bungs were
Ioosened and the amber fluid let loose
into the sewers. The kegs were
piled away and no one ever thought
Of the revenue stamps. The question
was then raised whether an offense
had not been committed because the
law requires that when liquor vessels
are elnDtied revenue stamps upon
them should be destroyed

HOOK WILL SIT
In the Hartman and Hill Case
at st. Paul.

st. Paul Mimi, April 11.-Elihu
Root, former secretary of war. ar
rived here today to take UP his work
in connection with the matter to be
argued before the United States court
for the district of Minnesota tomor-
row as to whether the petition on the
part of the Hartman interests for
leave to intervene in the settlement
Of the Northern Securities company's
affairs shall be denied or granted.
Soon after his arrival he conferred
with Francis Lynde Stetson of New
York, J. J. Hill, John c.. Johnson of
Philadelphia, E. D. Grover, general
counsel of the Great Northern rail-
road, and G. W. Bum, general coun-
sci of the Northern Pacific.
While these gentlemen were ranged
head talking to them with appraised
finger, a messenger brought to the
door a telegram giving the result of
the United States supreme court decis-
ion in the case Of the state of Mime
sofa against the Northern Securities
company. How this message was re-
ceived or what was said is not known,
as neither Mr.. Hill nor any of the 9TH

NAY NAME DALE.
He Is in Favor for Governor

morrow they will nominate candidates
for from four to six places on the state
ticket and leave the rest for the Dem
oerats to I'LL.
Major A NJ. Harvey says he believes
Judge Dale, of Wichita, will be noIni-
mated for governor. My first choice
would be Senator Harris" said MajoS
Harvey today, but / am convinced
that he is perfectly sincere in saying
that he does not want 1t and I do not
believe we ought to force it on him
I believe we have a good chance to
win this year. Judge Dale will sweep
most of the Seventh district, and the
Republicans are bound to lose many
votes in the First and Second and
some in the Third district. We lost 49,,
900 or 10000 ballots two years ago
through defective ballots, which We
won't lose this year, and we had a big
stay-at-home vote two years ago
which viii turn out and vote this year.
With things in the shape they are in
the Republican party / believe we have
a first class show to elect our ticket if
we put up the right kind of a one.
There seems to be an inclination to
nominate Dale for governor, some good
man for railroad commissioner, and
nominate candidates for two or three
other offices, and leave the rest for the
Democrats to fill. That's the way the
Democrats did with the Populists two
Yeas ago.
