Clever Counterfeit.

Considerable complaint has come
from the North Dakota towns along the
Canadian border Of the vast amount
Of bad money that is being circulat-
ed. mostly greenbacks Of the United
States. National Bank Examiner Cor
don came into possession of one Of the
cleverest pieces Of raised work that
has ever been seen at Grand Forks.
It was circulated in Canada and was
taken in the course of business by
Rolla business man. 1t is a 81 bill
raised to a $40. and the work is so
cleverly done that prominent Grand
Forks banker gave Mr.. Gordon two SIS
bills for the bill. Asked by the ex-
aminer if it was not $40 bill that he
gave him, the banker replied, "No, it
was &c." and he held up the bill to
prove his claim. The work was done
in water colors, but the artist had
failed to add the letter S to the word
dollar on the reverse side of the bill
The remainder of the work was per-
feet. and 80 out of 100 business men
or bankers would accept the bill as
genuine.

PRACTICES POLYGAMY
PRESIDENT OF MORMON CHURCH
ADMITS VIOLATION OF
FEDERAL LAWS.

Washington, March 4.-Attoineys
for the protestants in the Smoot in
vestigation Thursday said they intend
ed to prove that the defendant was as
ISOLATED with hierarchy which prac-
tees polygamy and connives at VIOLA
tons of the law and that his very
vote as senator of the United States
was subject to the wish and command
Of the Mormon church.
President Joseph F. Smith confessed
that he himself had continued to live
with his plural wives since the mani
festo Of 1890 and that he realized fully
that he was violating state laws. Pres
ident Smith also testified that Reed
Smoot had to get the consent Of his
associate apostles in the church be-
fore he could become candidate for
senator.
Mr.. Smith said that the manifesto
Of 1890 had left him and others with
plural families in the unfortunate sit
uation of being compelled to defy the
law or to desert their families. For
himself he had preferred to take
chances with the law" rather than to
disgrace himself and degrade his
family by abandoning his wives and
the children they had borne him. He
admitted that he had had children by
all Of his five wives since the mani
festo and said he had acknowledged
them openly without interference or
disturbance from the people of Utah.

Dawes Commission Arraigned in Re-
port of Investigators.
Washington, March S.-The presi-
dent Monday transmitted to congress
report Of Charles j. Bonaparte and
Clinton Rogers Woodruff in the mat
ter of Irregularities in Indian Terri
tory.
The report stigmatizes conditions in
the territory as involving Immediate
danger of ruin to the genuine Indian
population and profound discredit to
the United States, exciting reasonable
discomfort on the part of all classes of
the population and demanding prompt
and drastic remedies on the part of
congress-" The report says that the
connection of Tams Bixby, chair
man of the committee to the Five Civ
ilized Tribes, with the Canadian VAL
ley Trust company impairs his useful
ness as public official and should ter
inmate Immediately if he is to retain
his commissionership. His invest
ments in what are known as posses
sorry rights" in townsite lands are
stamped as yet more Objectionable.
Commissioner Thomas B. Needles of
the Five Civilized Tribes commission
admits owning small interest in a
corporation at Vineta and the report
says the propriety of disposing Of this
should be officially suggested to him.
The investments of Commissioner
Breckenridge of the same body are
stated to be of much graver impor-
lance and his considerable invest
ments in corporation stock, the report
says, have seriously impaired his pub.

Of Louis Starman was ended by the
Jury returning verdict of guilty. The

ty. on the night of Jan. ~, and the ar

adjusted. Later in the evening the
quarrel was renewed, and Rozum shot
Starman, killing him instantly. He
did not deny the fact. but contended
that the shooting was done in self-de-
tense. When the verdict was given,
Rozum cursed the Judge and jury in
his anger. Before the verdict, he was
dancing and whistling in the Jail, ap-
parently hopeful of acquittal. A wit
ness testified to seeing the defendant
standing over his victims body, ours.

SQUADRON IN BAD PLIGHT.
VIadivostok warships May Be Com.
PEELED to Fight Japs.

London, March s.-The Japanese
legation has received no official infor-
nation of the bombardment of Vladi-
vostok. 1t is believed here at the le-
cation that the Japanese are between
the Russian cruiser squadron and
Vladivostok and there is reason to be-
lieve that the Vladivostok squadron is
now in the vicinity of the mouth Of
the Tumen river, engaged in covering
the movements Of Russian troops from
Possiet bay to the valley of Tumen.
Russian official dispatches do not
mention this squadron and this omis-
sion lends color to the belief that the
japanese war vessels have shut it out
of Vladivcstok. 1t is pointed out at
the legation that if this is true the
Russian vessels are in a critical posi-
ton, since they must run the gauntlet
of the Japanese squadron off Vladivos-
tok or the Japanese squadron off Port
Arthur, before reaching Russian

Very Little Damage Results.
Vladivostok, March S.-Outside of
killing a woman and wounding few
men Sundays bombardment Of Vladi-
vostok by the Japanese feet did no
material damage. The wooden cottage
Of an artisan was the only building
wholly destroyed. 1t was pierced by
shell from 12-inch gun, which, after
traversing the roof and wall, fell in
the yard, killing the woman previously
referred to.
In the quarter of the city called the
"Dirty Corner" she'll fell on the
house of Colonel Shukoff without ex-
ploding. It traversed a bedroom, de-
stroying a stove and penetrated the
wall. 1t finally burst near the regi-
mental safe, which was standing in
the courtyard. A sentry guarding the
safe was covered with mud, but was
not injured.
Five sailors were slightly wounded
by the explosion of she'll in the court
yard of the Siberian naval barracks.
Outside of these casualties no one
was killed or injured and there was
no outbreak Of fire in the city. The
fact that the Russian batteries did not
reply to the japanese bombardment
was due partially to the slight chance
of hitting the enemy's warships at
such a long range and partially to a
desire not to betray the position of the
batteries.
1t is now thought that the attacking
squadron consisted of a battleship,
four armored cruisers and two unpro-
tected cruisers.
