wild, desolate route In Siberia seemed TO
pass only too quickly.
One entire car was stocked with
champagne and so great was the demand
that it was exhausted before the end
of the journey.
Arriving at headquarters the royal
party and its girl attendants created a
sensation. Kuropatkin was shocked.
He did not say anything for time. how
ever, and night after night there were
orgies in the camp.
Word came to Boris that small army
OF Geisha women were travelling not far
from the japanese army.

cigarettes. said Boris, and he proposed
an expedition to capture the pretty Jap
anese women, All the officers present
agreed to take part in it, but the next
morning it was forgotten.
Another brilliant thought occurred to
the hampagne-muddled Boris. At one
of his dinners he arose and proposed
this toast:

Fatal Iowa Horse AIIment Is Prevalent In

said S. H. Ward, secretary of the state

yesterday "And in this connection it has
been enormously stated that the disease
has only twice before appeared in this
country. For some time past it has been
almost constantly prevalent in some of
the counties of South Dakota and some
in Nebraska, and it is only by the most
rigid quarantine against those localities
that we have been able to keep it out of
Minnesota. So far as know there has
never been an outbreak in this state. I
recently received a government bulletin
placing an embargo upon Dawes, Box

horses from those counties is prohibited.

CONTEST FOR CHILD
Richeson Divorce Case Now
Being Heard.

The Richeson divorce case, which
has been in the courts for almost a
year in one form or another, was TAX
en- UP for final settlement by Judge
Bum in the district court yesterday.
The suit is one in which Kate D.
Richeson asks a separation from DIR.
William G. Richeson, well known
physician.
DR.. Richeson is not opposing the ap-
plication for divorce, but is fighting
for the custody of their seven-year-
old daughter
The Richeson case first came into
the courts about year ago. when Mrs.
Richeson left her husband and went
to the home of a sister in Minneapolis,
taking with her ~the little daughter.
DR.. Richeson, upon learning the where
abouts of his wife and child, sued out
writ of habeas corpus in the Ramsey
county courts, and. in company with
deputy sheriff, went to Minneapolis
after the child
When they arrived at the Mime
apolis home Mrs. Richeson was away
and DR.. Richeson created a scene by
attempting to take the child by force,
but was prevented by the deputy sher
if. The father failed to secure pos
session of the child at that time, the
Hennepin county courts holding that
the writ should have been sued out in
that county.
Since that time the fight for the Gus
tody of the pretty little daughter has
brought the family into court a score
of times. Finally, few months ago,
the Ramsey county courts placed the
child in the possession of DR.. Richie
sons mother until the matter should
be decided
The divorce suit commenced yester-
day before Judge Bum is attracting
considerable attention, the court room
being well filed with stylishly dressed
women during the session. The won-
en- were mostly friends of Mrs. Richie
son, who was on the witness stand
the greater part of the afternoon.
DR.. Richeson was in court, being
accompanied by his mother, and dur
ing the proceedings the pretty faxen-
haired little child played about the
court room, dividing its attentions
most impartially between the father
and mother.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 3D.
Representatives of different newspa-

ment offered by Senator s.Alger to the
postofice appropriation bill, to permit
rural mail carriers to do an express
package business and to act as the
agents for newspaper and periodical
publishers in the distribution of their
publications. 1t was argued that the
business will not interfere with the
government business and will prove a
great convenience to the. patrons of the
rural routes and add to the salaries of
the carriers.
The committee was generally in IA
vor of the adoption of the amendment.
but will consider it finally when the
appropriation bill comes from the
