Eagle Story But Boys "Pi Pc"

LONG PRAIRIE, Mimi, March %.
The story circulated last week in the
st. Paul papers of an eagle attempting
to carry off a child at this place is
fabrication. The whole thing origi
mated with a schOolboy.
His teacher that afternoon had told
a story of some such incident, sup
posed to have occurred long ago, and
this boy of rather fertile imagination,
went home and repeated it to his
parents, adding the names of some To-
cal children to give it a little color,
including himself as the hero of the
hour.
His father, accepting his childs
word, and being a reputable citizen,
was believed when he spread the news
in the town, and hence the story
gained currency.

Rock Island Wants a Coal Line.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 22.-The Rock
Island system is making overtures for
the Newton Northwestern line, which
was built two years ago. 1t extends
from Newton, ILL.,, through several
counties to Rockwell City, where it
connects with the Illinois Central, the
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul and
the Great Western roads. The Rock
Island wants the road for a connection
with it's main line at Gowrie, for the
Sibley line, having lost this connection
with it's main line at Gowrie for the
Sibley line, having lost this connec-
ton when the st. Louis road acquired
the Des Moines and Fort Dodge. The
road is 1875 miles in length, and was
built for the coal industry. It's ac-
QUESTION by the Rock Island would
form a short line between Chicago

Ex-coNvIcT WILL SPEND THE
REMAINDER OF HIS DAYS
IN PENlTENTiARY.
Has Served One Term in the WaIIa
WaIIa Prison and Did Time
in Montana.

J. H. Leroy, who served a sentence
in the Walla Walla penitentiary un-
der the name of Ed Baker, will soon
be in the state prison again to serve
life sentence. Leroy, who is negro
and the first criminal to be sentenced
in the state under the cumulative sem
tence act, was found guilty by jury
at Seattle yesterday of robbing the Red
White and Blue saloon and being the
same man who served a term in the
Washington penitentiary and one in the
Montana penitentiary under the name
of Charles Green. This verdict made
it compulsory for the sentencing judge
to give Leroy a life sentence under
the cumulative sentence law.
During his sojourn in the King
county Jail Leroy has written for the
newspapers many articles, which are
generally of a penitent and religious
an exceptionally hardened criminal
and has served terms in the peniten
tiaries of seven different states Yes
terday was the ninth time he has
faced the verdict of guilty as rendered
by jury. Not only has Leroy served
seven sentences for felonies but each
time he has appeared in court he has
been accompanied by an accomplice,
always a boy Of tender years whom he
had had under mis- tutelage. At the
trial for his last holdup John Bush, a
fair haired, ingenious boy of about II,
confessed to his part in the crime and
told the jury a story completely exon
Grating Leroy. This was found by
the jurors to be merely an attempt to
sacrifice himself for the negro, and
both were found guilty. Apart from
the confession there was little evil
dence against Bush.

THIEVES ELUDE SET PLANS,

JAMESTOWN, N. D.. March o.
Evidence mas come to the officers of
several counties in the James river
valley of the existence of an organ
lied band of horsethieves, whose
operations extend firm the Canadian
brder thrugh to the state line of
South Dakota and further south into
the foot hills of the Missouri.
For months sheriffs, and states at
torneys of counties have been accumu-
lating evidence. The thieves have a
well-planned system for receiving and
passing along from one part of the
country to another, horses stolen by
confederates. Horses will be run off
from a farm in one county and taken
by a confederatee and passed along to
another place, ana soon the animals
are hundreds of miles away from the
farm from which they were stolen.
The gang operates chiefly in the foot
hills where stray horses are frequently
found. Convictions are difficult be-
cause the men hang together and
sweating to alibies.
The next term of court in La Moure
county will have one of these horse
stealing cases for trial, where the
states attorneys and county officers
are confident of the guilt of the priso-
ners, but say it will be difficult to OBJ
tain sufficient evidence to convict.
1t is asserted that the number of
confederates in the several counties
is so large that juries have failed to
bring in convictions after the most
direct evidence had been presented
Horses are not the only animals
stolen but frequently punches of cat
tie are gathered together, from single
animals picked up in different locali-
ties and shipped to the twin cities
along with other stock and sold.

PRESIDENT TO BEAUTY CAPITOL.
Appoints Consultative Board of Arch
fleets to Pass on Plans.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 22.-
The president stole a march on Speak
er Cannon by appointing "consuIta-
tive" board of architects with an or
der that all sites am plans for new
government buildings must be submit
ted to and approved by them before
construction work can proceed. The
members of the board who are to
serve without pay, are Bernard R..
Green, chairman; Daniel H. Barnham,
Charles f. McKim, Augustus Saint
Gaudens and Frederick Law Olmstead,
Jr The presidents purpose is ito
bring about harmony of design in all
future public buildings and con-
formity to an artistic system of i'm
cprovement based on the original plans
for laying out the capital. The exam
ination of the board of architects
should be confined to the location
and to the artistic effect of the ex-
terror of the buildings
The original plans referred to were
commission composed of Messers. Nc
Kim, Burnham and Olmstead, and
congress has been wrangling over
them ever since. They looked to the
construction of all government build
ings along the Mali, which extends
from the capitol to the Washington
monument, and on the square around
the White House and capitol, together
with an elaborate park and monu-
ment system, and involved a total ex-
penditure of $6OO,OOO,O0O, the con-
gress financial experts say.
Mr.. Cannon, first, as chairman of
the appropriation committee, and later
as speaker of the house, led the fight
against the proposed plan, and it never
was approved by either the senate or
house. The park commission went in
to rapid decline and was given what
was believed to be it's death blow dur
ing the last session, when the new ag-
ricultural department building, which
is to cost $2,5OO,OOO or more, was au-
thorized without any reference to the
scheme for beautiful Washington
Representative Wadswortn, chairman
of the agricultural committee, aided
Speaker Cannon in his fight on the
commissions plan and secured indie
pendent action.
Mr.. Cannon and Representative
Wadsworth will renew their fight as
soon as the next session of congress
opens and will either abolish the new
board or tie it's hands so that it viii
be powerless. The trouble will be
FASTENED if the board attempts to alter
the plans for the new department OF
agriculture, on which work now is un.
der way. The building is farther bacl
from the Mall than the commission
wanted it located, and is not of thu
desired design.

RAILROADS WILL SPEND MONEY
Taken as a Forecast of Still Greater
Era of Prosperity.

CHICAGO, March 22.-More than
$200,000,000 for new equipment for
railways during the current year
81 10000 by ten systems and about
$90,000,000 by other lines-is the al
most unprecedented record made by
American transportation companies
of still greater prosperity in the ma
ton.
This vast sum represents a conser-
vative estimate of the orders placed
but some authorities insist the total
expenditure will reach a much higher
figure. These orders, also, are in ad-
dition to liberal expenditures made
during the close of last year.
Soon after the national election the
demand for equipment of all kinds be-
gan to increase with such rapidity that
the railroads became convinced that
they would need to move quickly if
they did not wish to see a general
congestion of all kinds of traffic dur
ing 1905, and consequently a tremend-
GUS loss in revenues.
Every railroad is bombarding car
and locomotive works with large Or
ders, and from the iron fields of the
northwest the ore is moving in great
consignments and the furnaces
throughout the east are operating day
and night.
Big orders for new equipment given
by railways for 1905 will total to the
neat sum of $201, 100000.
The reason for these large expendi-
lures is easily to be found in the re-
cent monthly statements of railroad
earnings, which have been mirroring
| the increased traffic of the country
The yearly statements of earnings
show that from 1899 to 1903 there was
steady growth in both the gross anj
| net earnings of railroads as a whole
| Although the statements for 1904 are
not completed, careful estimates dis
close the fact that the year surpassed
that of 1908 in railroad prosperity.

VINO WILL GET MILLER BOYS
JUDGE BRENTS OF SUPERIOR
COURT HAS HARD QUESTION
TO DECIDE.
After Listening to Testimony and
Arguments Has Taken Subject
Under Consideration.

| Whether Clarence and Ferdie Miller
will remain in the custody of their
mother or be turned over to their
| father, G. N. Miller, was a perplexing
problem that Judge Brents said he
was not prepared to settle last evening
at the conclusion of the case in which
Mrs. Miller seeks to obtain a modifica-
ton of a decree of divorce granted her
four years ago and which gave her GUS
tody of the two children until they
should attain an age of ten years each.
The case took up most of the day.
Mrs. Kane, who was Mrs. Miller, and
| the plaintiff in the case, was represent
ed by J. L. Sharpstein. Brooks and
Bartlett appeared as counsel for Mr..
Miller. Mrs. Kane testified to the care
and training the children have re-
ceived since they have been under her
control. She stated they have been
attending school regularly in Seattle;
have been given the comforts of a
home, and in everyway seemed salts
fled to remain with her. The two boys
cared for. When the question was put
to each of the boys as to whom they
ingly replied their mother. An at
tempt was made to belittle Mr.. Mil
lers affection for his children by
bringing forth a statement that last
Christmas when he had met his eldest
son on the streets of Seattle, he did
not take the boy into a store and pur-
chase him a Christmas present.
Mr.. Miller stated that he was pre-
pared to give the two boys a good nome
in Seattle. If given their custody he
would see that their education was
completed. 1t was his wish to enter
them at the Washington State college
at Pullman, that they might study
engineering, his own profession, and
winch DOln boys ndQ expressed Oe-
sire to study. Mrs Miller, VINO is Mr..
Miller's second wife, stated that she
was willing to give the two boys the
love of a mother. The fact that an
other stranger had made it's appear
ance in the Miller home would make
no difference in her treatment of her
stepchildren.
At the conclusion of the arguments
of both sides Judge Brents stated that
he was not quite prepared to render a
decision. 1t was unfortunate, he said,
that the parents had brought the chill
dren into the world under the circum-
stances. The judge followed with a
little dissertation on married life in
general.
At the conclusion of his summing
of the merits of the case the court stat
ed that a decision would be rendered
within day or so. The children were
ordered in the custody of Sheriff
Painter. Mrs. Miller asked that they
be given better quarters than in the
jai parlors, but the court would not
listen to her and stated that her plead
ings would not help her case any.

Are You 0ut of Sorts
Many People, Not Really Sick, Are
Out of Sorts-The Old-Time Energy
and Spirits Are Lacking.

Something is needed to restore that
animation that characterized the days
before the system had been overtaxed
or weakened by care, work, folly, ex-
cess or worry. Good, rich blood and
strong, steady nerves are essential to
perfect health and enjoyment of life.
When vitality is lacking, pleasures
cease and work becomes drudge
and drag. Blood is the well-spring
and nerves the handspring of the
body. With either of them impaired
life loses much of its charm. Moth
ing puts animation and satisfaction
into living as quickly, safely and sure

SPOR
Outlook for College Baseball.

O0etS0N IoT NOuc9e BASEBALL.
NEW YORK, March 22.-The college
baseball season for 1905 is scheduled
to make it's debut today with a game
between the Yale and Trinity college
teams. Owing to the late spring few
of the college teams in the east have
had an opportunity for outdoor prac-
tice and as a result it is probable that
many of the early games on their
schedules will be postponed until later
in the season.
Some of the diamonds have not yet
had a chance to thaw out and it will
be two or three weeks yet before tt:
season is on in earnest. In the mean
time, however, the indoor practice is
being pushed at all the colleges and
the professional coaches have begun
the wedding out process in their efforts
to eliminate the undesirable material
from the squods.
So far as material is concerned IA
vorable reports emanate from nearly
all of the big colleges. At Princeton
four players remain from last seasons
(catcher); Byrum and Reid In adii-
ton to these veterans there are Ritter,
Hamil, Mclean, Harlan, Bard, Fisher,
Watt and Zannisee. The selection of a
heavy hitting outfield is now the main
aim of the coaches.
Yale starts the season with but lit
tie promising material. Few players
Of high class calibre remain. Capt.
Bowman, O'Brien, Huiscamp, Smith,
Barnes and Cote are eligible, and a
number of last years substitutes are
also available. The batting practice
has been especially emphasized this
year, and in this department of the
game the team should be strong, as
six men, of whom four are in college
this year, averaged over 300 during
last season.
L lie prospects DIT f1dINdIu are PROV
ably the best among the eastern COL
leges. More than 100 candidates re-
ported in response to Capt. Randalls
call, and under coaches, Murphy Ches-
bro and Keller have been making rapid
progress at indoor work. The star
battery Coburn and Stephenson, who
were the chief instruments in shutting
Yale out in the final game of the Yale
Harvard series last year, will be in the
points for Harvard again this year.
The Cornell squad is we'll advanced,
and Coaches Jennings and Warner
have just made their selection of eight
teen players to be taken on the south
ern trip. At Pennsylvania the situa
ton is also we'll in hand. The fastest
of the material in the squad has been
selected, and the prospects for high
class team are considered excellent.
Pennsylvania first game is scheduled
for next Friday, when the Quakers
will line up on Franklin Field against
the Dickinson nine.
