Relief of Settlers.

Many settlers in Minnesota and the
Dakotas are interested in a bill which
passed the senate legalizing land proofs
and entries made outside the limits of
United States land districts.
Itappears that, subsequent TO the
act of 1902 many settlers proceeded to
file entries and complete proof in &C
cordance with what they supposed to
be the law. The errors were due to
the failure of the local officials to COM
ply with the orders of the general land
Office. As result many settlers were
subjected to hardships which the meas
ure passed proposed to remedy.

TRAPPED BY TREATY

Every Great Continental Power q

the Dardanelles Closed
Against Warships.

-HE key that has seemingly

" Gk doors against Russia's

Sk,W1 prevents it taking any ac-
~ tive part in the war game
in the far east, was the
treaty of Paris, signed March 80, 1856,
and which marked the close of the
bloody Crimeap war in which England
and France, as allies of Turkey, had
given the ambitious house of Roman
off setback from which it never fully
recovered.
The closing of the Dardanelles was a
stipulation practically demanded by
Russia at this time. Though Turkey
had virtually kept them closed to the
nations of the world when it was to
her interest to do so, Russia had found
that the Turkish Notifications offered
no resistance to Turkeys allies, and
England's navy had played sad havoc
with Russian coast cities. The same
treaty provided for the demolishment
of Russia's Notifications and arsenals
at points on the Black sea, leaving the
nation virtually defenseless against
any invading force which might be
able to attack her in this weak spot
as Turkey was liable to do at any time

A Very Old Woman.

After very short illness, Mrs Pure
heart Wakeley is dead of pneumonia

Mrs. Wakely was III years OF age.
Despite the fact that she was married

fourteen children, who all lived to the
age Of twenty or more, and many OF
whom married and became fathers or
mothers, yet all of Mrs. Wakeley's hus-
bands, relatives and descendants died
and passed away before she did, and at
her death had not a relative to survive
her.
At Johnstown, Pa, where all their
numerous descendants lived, and where
forty-three members of the family, be-
ing all of them with the exception OF
Mrs. Wakeley and one son, were over
taken by the food of May 81, 1889.
With this son Mrs. Wakeley came to
LIE Sueur county, and bought large
farm in Sharon township. Six years
later they rented the farm and moved
to Galveston, Texas, where the son
lost his life. in the storm and tidal
wave that befell that city. Yet Mrs.
Wakeley escaped that terrible disaster
and went back and again resided on
the farm, where she resided until the
time of her death, dying interstate.
In default of all heirs at law, her
property, which amounts to about S1O,.
900, will eschest to the state.

Stolen Jeweiry.

Bold thieves secured about $500
worth jewelry from Hudson's store on
Nicollet ave, Minneapolis. The thieves
cut hole about foot square in the
plate glass window and took eleven
diamond rings and seventeen watches.
The work was evidently done by ex-
perienced men and diamond was
used to cut the glass. The hole shows
that the men who made it knew their
business, for the edges were smooth.

No Strong Evidence Can Be Had

Look we'll to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by Is the best guarantee of future results. Anyone with a bad back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from any kidney ills, will find m the following evidence D OOf that relief and cure is near at hand:

SUN FOR ROOSEVELT

The New York Sun which has been abusing President Roosevelt for more than a year has announced that it will support his candidacy for the presidency It takes the position that an impulsive republican is better than a mildly con- servative democrat, because in its opin ion the republican party is better than the democratic.
 The New York Sun is owned by J.. Pierpout MorgOn who some time ago announced that he would support ROOse- welt.
 In announcing its purpose to support Roosevelt and Fairbanks, the New York Sun says:
 "As the case is now made up we pre- fer the impulsive candidate of the par ty of conservatism to a mildly cOnseI- vative, temporizing Opportunist repre- sentative of the Hun vote in the back ground.

SUBSCRIPTION RATEA
REPENrENoE COMES TOO LATE

Had the officers of the Northwest Light X Power Company shown the same disposition to be fair to the peo- pie of Szagway 90 days agO-yea, 60 or even 30 days ago-that they now eN- press, there would have been no munic- ipal water system, and that company probably would have continued in the enjoyment of a monopoly of helight and water business of this city for many wears to come. But they thought they had the city and the people where neither could help themselves Nine ty days ago, instead of talking of reduc- ing rates, it was prOposedtO raise them' and instead of promising to repair the water system, there was an absolute refusal to expend single cent, or to make any kind of a guarantee of serv- ice.
 The members of the city council did all within their power oget something approaching a fair consideration ot the rightsOi the people andOt the munich pslity from the company that now promises so much in the way of a water and light service They failed. h. deed, the secretary Of the company told the city officials almost in so many words that the city was in such a posi- tion that it had to submit to dictation. When the suggestion was made that the city could put in a water system of Its own, he sueeringly replied that he would like to know where the water was coming from, and where the city could get the necessary funds with which to install a plant, Nlr. ktehl also twitted the council that the pro posed raise of 300 per cent. in the price of water for hydrants might not be the last raise. When asked why the arbt- trary raise from s25 to s75 per year per hydrant vas not made to $500 per hy- drant that it might be in keeping with the rates the company charged of pri- vate consumers, Mir. Eiehl said the raise had not been made higher be- cause the people were not educated up to it. This was just a gentle hint at what might follow.
 This is not the only grievance the people have against this company. Last year when the municipality, whose streets it is using without saying 80 much as "thank yOu' for the priv.- lege, desired to get 20 or 30 street lights the company refused to make any terms to the city other than the re- tail rate for winter service. It charged the same rate per light as 1t would have charged an individual for a single light. This rate was 100 per cent higher than the city of Juneau pays for the same service,
 This company which attempted to hold up the people of the city will make no friends by its eleventh-hoar repent ence. That the promise of a better service and a lower rate comes as a last resort is too plainly in evidence. It has sinued away it's day of grace.

A KILLING AT DOUGLAS
The Victim an Evidently Insane Mex

Douglas, Ariz., June 25.-(SpeciaD.- D.- Constable J. M. Durnal at o'clock this evening shot and killed Ramon Carmona. The tragedy occurred in the house of R. O. Johnson, justice of the peace.
 Walter Johnson, a brother of the judge returned to the house and searched for his six shooter. It was gone and looking in another room he saw Carmona, who formerly worked for the judge lying on the bed. Asked where the six shooter was Carmona reached under the pillow for it and fired two shots at Johnson who ran out of doors and telephoned for officers.
 Meanwhile Carmona shot at two boys who were in the street and then enter- ed the house again where Constable Durnal and Judge Johnson found him. Upon being asked by Durnal to throw up his hands he aimed his revolver at the officer who immediately fired, the ball entering Carmona's left side. AS Carmona then appeared to be attempr- ing to shoot, Durnal fired twice more hitting CarInona 10th times in the head, killing him. Carmona was neY- CT known to drink. It is presumed that he was insane.

Although but little was given out for publication. it was learned that it is not the inten- ton to call out all miners in the dis trict at once and this may not be done at all in the event of the present plans for conducting the strike are success fHl.
 One of the last acts of the committee was to issue an appeal for aid to their fellow workmen throughout the coun- try and to the public at large. The appeal recites the conditions of the coal miners and d brief history of the present strike. This is one method adopted to raise funds to continue the strike as the support of the national organization will be withdrawn after July 1.

SWAYZE'S CHEERING NOTE
The Intending hurderer's Farewell
 to His Wife

Detroit, Mich, June 25-Charles Swayze evidently intended to kill Miss Fife Alyord, when he asked her to meet him at his office here yesterday, and then kill himself This is proven by a letter which he left for his wife and which was made public today. This letter is addressed to Darling and children,' and opens as follows:
 Forgive me for this last terrible act of my life. God knows I love you dearly, but our once happy home is ruined by my own weakness and the plotting of malicious enemies"
 The letter then tells how friends had failed him and turned the cold shoul- der" He says that "she" was only a tool in the hands of his enemies, and concludes with warning to his wife to be careful of any money that comes to her, and asks her to try and teach his little girls to think kindly of their father.
 Miss Alvord, who was shot by SwayZe before he plunged from the eleventh story window, is in no danger.
