yesterday by the adoption of a new
constitution which admitted the pack,
ers to membership, and provides an
open door through which the railways
of the country may at any time be-
come factors in the control of the or
ganization. The cattlemen, horse and
swine growers, together with represen-
tatives of some OF the affiliated indus
tries, refused to agree to the new con-
stitution and withdrew. In the after
noon they formed a new organization,
the American Stock Growers associa-
ton" Roughly speaking, the sheep
growers, commission men and the
stock yards interests remained with
the National Live Stock association,
and the actual growers of all other an
imals for the market have gone with
the new association.

LING PUBLIC FUNDS IS
SUSPECTED.

Duluth, Jan. 15.-The district grand
jury report, submitted yesterday, con-
tains a strong censure of the board of
commissioners of st. LOUIS county.
The report has more sensational feat
ures than any grand jury report Of
fered in years. 1t declares that, in
view of the grossly unbusinesslike
manner of transacting business" the
construction of the proposed new court
house for St. Louis county, which is to
cost half million dollars, should be
placed in the hands of a commissio5 10
be appointed by the district judges.
The county board has already taken
the preliminary steps toward the court
house project.
Grave Charges Made.
The report says that the commits
sioners have allowed 4 tool house to
be built ON private property and that
the county now has no claim on the
site. On this subject the report says
further: "Onc witness before this
jury testified that he worked twelve
days on the building during a certain
month. His foreman, the owner of
the farm, retained the man upon his
pay roll as working during this time
upon road ten miles distant This
bill was audited and passed.
"This same commissioner. who ap-
parently believes in erecting buildings
upon private property with county
money, was responsible for the build
ing of one and one-half miles of county
road at a cost of $4,650.71, or about
$3,100 per mile
In Defiance of Law.
Continuing, the report says in parts:
During the last year one of the COM
missioners, as agent of a chemical
company, furnished to the county
quantity Of bug poison, for which he
put in bill OF s1O0. This the board
audited and allowed. All this was ap-
parently in defiance of an express
statute which provides that no official
be indirectly interested in such
sale.
"Without warrant Of law, time
checks are issued by the foremcn upon
the county roads to the men. One wit
ness before the jury testified that he
had performed no work during De-
cember, yet his name was on the pay
roll for six days work and the bill was
audited and allowed.

the way of diversion of public funds
from one fund to another, and espes

SITUATION At HOME AND PRES.
TiGE ABROAD REQUIRE WAR
TO GO ON.
NICHOLAS is UP IN THE AIR
HE VACiLLATES Between THE
REFORMERS AND THE BU-
REAUCRATS.

st. Petersburg, Jan. IA. - The gov
ernment seemingly is about to make
the irrevocable decision that prestige
abroad and the situation at home re-
Quire the continuation of the war till
peace with dignity is possible. Beyond
this point, however, confusion exists,
especially regarding the immediate de-
velopmcnt Of the interior situation.
Emperor Nicholas is still apparently
vacillating as to whether he shall al
low NJ. Witte full sway, in the mean
time declining to permit Prince
Sviatopolk-Mirsly to retire. The lat
ter persists in the view that the conf
dence Of the people in the manner in
which the reform manifesto is to be
worked out is vital, and that this is
impossible if the work is to be left
completely in the hands of the bureau
Gratis, Direct consultation with the
representative classes interested, he
holds, is essential.
Should real storm break, however,
no one doubts that NJ. Witte is the one
strong man in sight who can be
Called to the Bridge.
The lack Of cohesion and alignment
Of the forces opposed to the existing
state of things, and mutual distrust of
each others program seems to make
anything approaching actual revolh-
tion at the present time unworthy of
serious consideration. Russia's un-
numbered millions of peasants al
though they have manifested an alb
horrence of war, principally for eco
nomic reasons and because it takes
their loved ones away, have given al
most no evidence of having been
stirred by the prevailing political agi-
tation. Demonstrations, and even dis
orders on a large scale in the centers
of population are regarded by the au-
thorities as possible, accompanied by
a recurrence of terrorism by those who
believe the bomb is the only weapon
with which they can fight absolutism.
This last is really considered the
likeliest and most deplorable POSSIBLE
ity in the near future.
Complains to the Powers.
st. Petersburg, Jan. IA. - The Rus
sian government has issued circular
to the powers calling attention to al
legged violation of Chinese neutrality
and citing numerous instances during
the war in the Far East tending to
prove that China is unable to fulfill
her obligations. This state of affairs
Is, the circular says, calculated to
bring the country in perilous paths,
and it concludes by saying that Rus
sia claims the right to act in her ON
interests.
Naval Fight Expected.
London, Jan. 14.-According to the
Daily Mails Port Louis correspondent
Rear Admiral Voelliersam, command
ing the second division of the Russian

Japanese in the Indian ocean. He
thought that the Baltic squadron would
call at Maho, in the Seychelles group.
The Russian tugboat Russ, according
to the same correspondent, on Jan.

amicable relations. In that case, he
said, his present fate would be more
useful to 1aussia's best interests than

Redeem Your Past Failures,

You may say that you have failed
too often, that there is no use in try
ing that it is impossible for you to
succeed, and that you have fallen
too often even to attempt to get on
your feet again. Nonsensel There
is no failure for a man whose spirit
Is unconquered. No matter how
late the hour, or how many and re-
peated his failures, success is still
possible. The evolution of Scroc re.
the miser, in the closing years of
his life, from hard, narrow, heart
less money-grubber, whose soul
was imprisoned in his shining heap
of bearded gold, to a generous, gen.
ial lover of his kind, is no mere
myth Of Dickens brain. Time and
again, in the history of our daily
lives, chronicled in our newspapers.
recorded in biographies, or exhibit
ted before our eyes we see men and
women redeeming past failures, ris-
ing up out of the s.upor of discour-
agement, and boldly turning face
forward once more.
