Denver, Col. June 7.-While the early reports from Victor and Grip pie Creek, where yesterdays strife and bloodshed ruled, would indi- cate now a semi-peaceful condition prevails. the fears uf another out break at any moment are general. Throughout the night squads of citizens reinforced the details of militia which travelled the district making arrests until now the bull- pen is filled with 200 or more pris- oners. The marshals of Goldfeld, Anaconda and Independent coun- ties are among the prisoners to- -getbcr with the city marshal of Victor and the sheriff of Teller county, making total of five off, -clals of gold camp towns deposed since the troubles of yesterday.
 No one was killed in the attack last night on Miners hall, but four were injured. All were shot in the legs. Fifteen persons were killed at the gold. camp troubles yesterday, thirteen by an internal. machine near Cripple Creek and two in riot at Victor.

Another Big Company For District
 Three mining experts arrived from Dawson and the states on tue Sarah. They are here ill the inter- ests of a company whose object is to work Morelock creek on large scale-either hydraulic or dredge. Jack Miles, who prospected More lock for John Stanley, the promoter of the new company, accompanied the experts to the creek.
 When these experts see the creek and the prospects that can be had along the rim for over ten miles, there Is no doubt but another creek in the Rampant district will Le adled to the increasing number to be handled by big companies.

St. Petersburg, June 9.-Dis- patches from Liao Yang report that Chinese bring news that the Japa- nese Oh June attacked Port Ar thur by land and sea, but were repulsed with loss of $500 men and four vessels. Judging by the descriptions given by the Chi1ese it was torpedo boats destroyed. /
 Other dispatches give rumors of great naval battle between the two fleets in the Gulf of Pechili, and definite report of lombard ment in Liao Tung gulf. near Kai Ping, which may foreshadow a Japanese landing there for the pur- pose of cutting the railroad back of the Russian troops operating around Wafandian. It is consid- cred strange here that this move ment has been deferred so long, as until now New Chwang and tue eastern division of Kuropatkin's $ army have been with railroad com munication with all of China.

For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 21.-
Mrs. A. l.. Smith of this place says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommended
ton by the following experience:
"My daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last week
and would then pass Off In a month
she would have the spells again. At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow, even the whites
of her eyes would be yellow.
'The doctors gave us no encour
agement. they all said they could not
help her. After taking one box Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills she has not had
one bad spell. OF course We contin-
ued the treatment until she had used
in all about dozen boxes. and we.
still give them to her occasionally,
when she is not feeling well. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith, for by SO doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure healthy, happy
future for them.

MAN WHO POSED AS WIFE
OF DEAD MAN.

Kenosha, Wis, March %. - The po-
lice of this city are making an effort
to discover the identity Of beauti-
full Chicago woman who came to
Kenosha ten days ago and imperson-
ated the wife of Andrew Swanson.
farmer residing at Elgin, ILL.,, and
formerly land owner in this county.
Yesterday afternoon the body of
Swanson, horribly mutilated, was
found buried in snowdrift in lonely
piece of woodland mile and a, half
west of the city. Terrible wounds on
the head show that it would have been
impossible for him to have committed
suicide. !,
The Chicago woman came with
Swanson to Kenosha ten days ago,
and before notary signed a deed as
the wife of Swanson. The transfer of
the property was made and Swanson
received
Large Sum Of Money.
Later the real wife Of the man, who
resides in Elgin. discovered the trick,
and, coming to Kenosha, managed to
force Swanson to pay her portion of
the money that he had received from
the deal.
With the coming of the real Mrs.
Swanson the Chicago woman disap-
peared and no trace has since been
found of her.
Swanson left his hotel here week
ago, stating that he was going to
Elgin. At that time he had the money
which he had received for the prop
erty, as well as mortgage valued at
several hundred dollars. When his
body was found yesterday. there was
nothing of value in the pockets and
his rifled purse was found near where
the body lay. The remains were
brought to Kenosha and turned over
to the coroner and the search for the
Chicago woman at once was instituted.
There is absolutely no clue to the
identity Of the woman.

she became deathly sick, but an

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
Experiment Tried With Success in
Certain North Dakota Districts.


Certain North Dakota Districts.
The consolidation of rural schools
has been preached in this state for
some time. but SO far the idea has
been put in practice in but few locali-
ties. Trail county was one of the
first in the state where the experiment
was tried, and in Logan township,
Grand Forks county. model build
ing is to be built at central point in
the township, where all the pupils
will be assembled, instead of attend
ing two schools. The schools in the
Cleveland district, Nelson county.
were consolidated lac year.
In the Cleveland school three rigs
are employed to convey the children
to and from school. At first there was
some difficulty in getting all the rigs
there on time, but that has been over
come, and now cases of hardness are
rare. Two teachers are employed,
and the entire cost of the teaching
force and transportation service has
been $40 month.
The winter has been an unusually
severe one. but in every case the pu-.
pills have been comfortable on their
trips. the rigs in which they ride be,
ing covered and supplied with foot
warmers.
One improvement which is expect.
ed to be made this year is the install
lation of q telephone service connect
ing the school with the homes of all
patrons. This, it is felt, will be of
great advantage in stormy weather.

Minneapolis Journal: The North
west as a field for investment and a
place of residence and endeavor is rap
idly attracting attention throughout
all parts of the country. and the time
is not far off until the once reviled
North Dakota will be reckoned among
the garden spots of the earth.
A steady progress toward continual
prosperity, following upon some of the
lean years which did so much to put
the Northwest in the doubtful column,
has done much to give North Dakota
the status it should have and to give
its prairies and products charm
which is continually attracting the in
vestors and building the state into
one Of the most prosperous communi-
ties in the country.
The state gained in population be-
tween 1890 and. 1900, 136,427, or TAT
per cent, and it is generally believed
that it has gained the past three
years more than 100000 in popula-
ton.
The last census awards it the honor
of being the wealthiest state in the
Union and the largest income per cap
tia according to population.
: The assessed valuation of real and
personal property for the year 1903
was $146,537 ,444. which would bring
the actual wealth of our state at the
present time to over $3.50 100000, and
yet there are no very rich men in our
state. These figures do not take into
consideration but a small portion of
the vast Ignite coal deposits in the
western half of the state, whose actual
extent and value is as yet impossible
to estimate.
