Old Liberty Bell.

A patronic welcome will Minneapolis
give the Liberty Bell June 6.
If those in charge of the relic will
permit it's removal from the cars, it will
be made the center of parade, both
civic and military in character. Or, if
it cannot be removed from it's car, an
mother way is to have it switched to
the tracks of the street railway, and
paraded around the loop, where thous-
ands may view it. If this is not per-
missionable, the parade will be made
to pass around the bell while it rests
at the station The committee will
ascertain as soon as possible whether
the bell can be taken from it's car.

kIDNAPERS MAKE
Demands known
MOROCCO BANDIT SUBMITS HIS
TERMS FOR RANSOM OF
AMERICAN.
ARE IMPOSSIBLE
OF ACCEPTANCE
Captor of Perdicaris Demands With
drawal of Forces from His District,
Heavy Ransom and Immunity
from Punishment.

Washington, May 30.-The kidnap-
ers of Perdicaris and his stepson Var
ley, in Morocco, have submitted their
terms for ransom, and the state de-
partment has decided that they are
absolutely impossible of acceptance.
A long cablegram from United
States Consul Gummere was received
by Secretary Hay Saturday. The con-
sui stated in substance that Rasouly
the bandit who kidnapped Perdicaris
and his stepson Marley, had been heard
from and made set of demands which
the British minister and Mr.. Gummere
had deemed it their duty to lay before
their governments. Rasouly demand
ed that the Moorish forces should be
withdrawn from the district in which
his band operated, leaving them in
control. He asked a large money ran
som, to be collected from the governor
of Tangier and Fee, who happen to
be bitter enemies. He further de-
manded absolute immunity for himself
and his followers from pursuit or pun
ishment for the kidnapping and other
crimes which they had committed in
the past. To cap the climax of his
demands, Rasouly insisted that the
United States and Great Britain should
solemnly guarantee the observance by
the Moorish government of the fore
going stipulations.
Refuse to Agree to Terms.
Secretary Hay had conference with
the president and it was agreed that
Rasouly's terms could not be met. To
grant them would be equivalent to
forcing the sultan of Morocco to abdi-
cate in favor of a brigand so far as a
considerable part of a Moorish tract
was concerned Moreover, the United
States government could not, without
establishing a new and dangerous pre-
cedent, undertake to guarantee the
acts of another government.
The next step is in doubt. Admiral
Chadwick will be at Tangier by Sun
day evening on the Brooklyn, to be
followed in the course of day or two
by the remainder of his fleet AS the
utmost confidence is reposed in the
discretion and judgment OF the adj
miral, the present disposition is to
leave him a free hand to deal with this
case in cooperation with Consul Gum.
mere.
| 1t is realized here that the French
| government, which under it's recent
treaties with Great Britain has ac-
quired a dominating interest in Mo
rocco, may naturally be rather nervous
over any foreign interference in the
affairs of that country, and this fact
it is suggested may lead to the exer-
else by the French government OF
some effective influence in the direc.
ton of securing Perdicaris' release
which will obviate any hostile move
by Admiral Chadwick.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Cattle Showing.

The cattle department of the state
fair, according to Secretary E. w. Ran
dali, will this year be better and big
ger than ever.
Much of the success of the cattle de-
partment of the fair has been acquired
because the larger breeders associa-
lions of the country have made this
fair one of regular official exhibits, and
have donated regular premiums in adj
dition to those offered by the society.
For the national shorthorn show a to-
tai of 81, 500 in premiums is offered.
This is open to the breeders of the
world, and in addition there is spec
ial $500 premium to be distributed
among Minnesota breeders, besides
several small premiums offered by pat
rons of the fair.
Premiums offered by the American
Hereford Breeders association are as
liberal and comprehensive as those of
the other association.
The cattle department has for many
years been in charge of Col VIM. M.
Liggett, whose assistants this year will
be George A. Cobb and Robert B. Lig-
gett. Entries for the general cattle
division close on August Is, but for
the shorthorn exhibition on Aug. l.

CIRCUS AMATEURS.
Performance Given Last Evening to
Audience of Villagers.
From Saturdays Daily.

Amateur circus actors had great
time in North Mankato last evening.
Paul Haak, Billy Schumann and Billy
Halt, the same young men who gave a
performance on Range street some time
ago, had their tent up on the same
grounds last evening. About a hundred
and twenty villagers were there
and were well pleased with what they
got to see for the ten cents admission
fee. There was an elephant and a gi-
raffe, two artificial animals, that look
ed and moved so naturally, that at a
distance of five hundred feet any per-
son could costly be deceived into think
ink they were the real thing. Two Sy-
rians, man and boy, were brought
over from Tinckomville, and gave
splendid performance at balancing and
other feats. The boy performed gym
nastics on the ladder, which the man
balanced on his chest. Paul Dubke seem
ed very much at home in the role of
circus clown. The trapeze performances
were very good indeed.

William Schwartz also assisted in max
ing the exhibit of unusual size.

Live stock was never better than this
year. Great credit is due the breeders
for the interest they manifested, and as
a result of their efforts it was possible
for the fair to make very creditable
showing in the horse, cattle, sheep and
swine departments. The principal eX-
hibitors of horses We're c. Lavine, A. Da
Wis, Thos. Moses, F. Hugunin and Young
Bros, and the latter firm, together with
j. p. Wright and A. Davis, entered cat
tie. r. NJ Boys, j. l.. Pettis and A.
Davis contested for the premiums for
sheep, and Young Bros, A. Davis and
VIM. Schwartz made the best showing
of hogs. The state hospital, however,
sent down a porker weighing upwards
of 600 pounds, and the big animal was
an object of considerable interest.
Several manufacturers of farming ma
chinery procured space on the grounds,
and there were usually fair crowds about
the stands.

HOMESTEAD FILINGS.
To Be Made Easier by the Government
in the Future.
From FRIDAYS Daily,


H. c. Stevens, writing to The Mime
apolis Journal, writes that paper that
Acting Commissioner Fimple of the gen
eral land office has provided, on the ur-
gent request of Senator Hansbrough, for
eXpendition in filing the proofs required
by law on homestead entries in North
Dakota. Under the old ruling of the
land office, Communication proofs could
only be made before local land officers,
except that proofs might be made be-
fore q United States commissioner if q
special agent Of the land office was pres
ent. This brought many complaints from
settlers who could not always be at the
office of a commissioner when special
agent was in that vicinity. Under the
new arrangements the homesteader may
make his proof before a United States
commissioner without waiting for the
special agents, but it will be at his own
risk, that is, it may result in delay in
securing the patent.
Mr.. Fimple, realizing that many
proofs are being made in North Dakota,
particularly in the Bismarck and Minot
districts, has directed as many special
agents as possible to go to North Da
kota so as to be present when proofs
are made.

MUST PAY POLL TAX.
Obstinate ViIIaeer Will be Dealt With
StrenuousIy.
From Saturdays Daily.

A certain villager of North Mankato
has been little stubborn about paying
his poll tax, much to the Indignation of
the city officers and those villagers who
paid the tax in labor or money without
much murmuring. The matter was plac-
ed by the village officers today in the
hands of Attorney Jay Henry Long, who
found that it was uncertain whether the
man had been given the required three
days notice, and that nine days had
expired since his refusal to work on the
road or pay the tax. Accordingly he will
be served with another notice, and if.
within the next three days he does not
work or pay, he will be dealt with as
a criminal lawbreaker.

HOW IT WAS DONE.
Charles Rodecker Tells How He Was
Robbed of His Watch.
From Saturdays Daily.

Charles Rodecker, who was ''frisk-
last week attending the state fair, took
the afternoon train for there yesterday,
to identify the man who is under ar
rest on the charge of having taken the
watch. He stated to a Free Press report
er that he was approached by three men
who crowded around him and wanted
him to buy papers. While they were
arguing, one of them pulled out watch
and fob from his vest pocket and ran
away. One of the others tried to get
another watch that he had in his other
vest pocket, attached by a chain, but he
hung to it. He at once went to the
police headquarters and reported the
matter A detective was detailed to
assist him, and they found the men, but
the latter ran through alleys and escap-
ed. The detective told him that they
need not hunt further, as he knew who
the men were and would be able to get
them later
The watch that was taken was a gold
plated one that he had purchased to
give to young lady. 1t was worth 81
or SIS, and the fob attached was worth
the same amount. The watch which he
kept was his own watch.
Chief Conroy, who informed Chief
Donahue of the arrest, stated that that
man under arrest is party that the
police have long been trying to get
evidence to convict, and he was particu-
larly anxious to have Rodecker on
hand to testify.
Rodecker was not particularly anxious
to go, and only did so because he thought
that he could get his watch back. He is
employed in Lime township with his
brother in putting down drain tile. He
is quite a hand for jewelry, and has a
number of articles displayed on his
clothes, which probably attract the at
tention of thieves.

FAMILY BROKEN UP.
Wisconsin Man Sues Tyler Men For
$4,000 Damages
From SATURDAYS Daily

Louie Anderson of Belmont, Wis, has
started an action in the United States
court against James b. Johnansen and
Hans Johansen of Tyler, MINI. w. f.
Young of this city IS one of the attor-
neys for the plaintif. The allegations OF
the plaintiff are soaS9stlla* sensational.
The complaint says that the plaintiff
is married man with six living chill
dren, VINO has resided in Belmont, Por-
tage county, for many years. On Janu-
airy 18th last, the defendants came to
the house of the plaintiff and remained
there and in the neignborhood for five
days, visiting friends, and during that
time conspired to break up plaintiffs
family by inducing his wife to pack up
some of her things and leave home with
four of the minor children and 90 with
defendants to Tyler. In order to carry
out this plan, James B. Johnson made
complaint in justice court against the
plaintiff on the charge of assaulting
plaintiffs wife, and while he was under
arrest Hans Johansen secured the Ser
vices of neighbor to take the plaintiffs
wife and children to Waupaca, whence
they all went to Tyler, where they still
are The criminal action against the
plaintiff was dismissed week later at
the request of the states attorney, for
lack Of appearance of the complaining
witness or anyone else. The charge was
false and untrue.
Because of the humiliation suffered by
the plaintiff, the breaking up of his
home, and the injury to his good name
and reputation, he demands $4,000 dam
ages from the defendants.
