Cracow, April l.
~ ROBABLY the best hated man in
- all Russian / GLAND is his ex-
cellency. the governor general of
Warsaw. as he is officially styled.
In reality, however. General Tschert-
kof rules over all the ten governments
which constitute Russian Poland of to-
day and is more commonly known as
governor general OF Poland. This po-
sition is. perhaps, the highest dignity
in the Service cf the Car.
Poland differs from the various gov
ernraents in Russia proper, as it is still
ruled more as a conquered province.
The governor general has committed to
him the destinies of i0 600 people,
seven millions of whom are peasants
for the most part unable to read or
write.
General Tschertkoff has an official
salary OF $1,000 roubles a year (s25, COO,

country as a summer residence, horses
and carriages. an army of servants and
numerous other perquisites and privil-
eyes.

ORTONVILLE, Mimi, Oct. 6.-John
Nelson, farmland employed by O.
Goldsmith, who lives northeast of
Ortonville a few miles, last night
eloped with pretty Hilma Hillstrom,
the 16-year-old daughter Of Charles
Hillstrom, wealthy farmer of the
same neighborhOod.
Nelson was not the dull clod that the
hired man is usually pictured. He was
young, good looking and sociable. The
girls of the neighborhood took to him,
and Miss Hilma was his favorite, and
when she was invited to the Goldsmith
farm to help Mrs Goldsmith with the
housework through the threshing sea-
son, the little god Of love chuckled to
himself and drew his bow tighter. Hill
ma was simply irresistible to Nelson,
even in her work-a-day gowns, while
he was manly and all that a lover
should be in her eyes. They were
soon engaged, but Hilma's parents OBJ
jected to the match. Cupid, however,
was not to be denied. Nelson came to
Ortonville and hired a livery team
then returned to the Hillstrom farm
and took his youthful fiancee out OF
a second story window of the paren-
tai home in the dead of night.
The couple made no disturbance and
nothing was known of the departure of
the girl until the following morning.
Then a search was started and the liv-
cry team was found tied in front of
Charles Peters farm, 20 miles away
No other trace of the couple can be
found, and it is supposed that they
are married and out Of the state ere

How an Up Country Man Grows Pra''
rie Chickens for Poor Shots.

CROOKSTON, Mimi. Oct. 6.-Chlck-
en- raising in the Red River valley
promises to change from present meth
DDS in which the ordinary tame fowl
and it's eggs are the principal products,
to the dollhouse raising of prairie mems.
The unusually poor year for hunters
of the toothsome wild chicken upon the
prairies this season, has led many poui-
FRY men of this section to consider the
success of a certain farmer in the re-
mote east end of the county VINO
made a small fortune last summer from
a large bunch of wild prairie hens
which he raised himself and sold to
disgruntled and unsuccessful shooters,
So that they might return to the cities
with large bags of game. 1t is esl-
mated that the farmers crop of wild
hens this year has been more than
500. and that fully as many more were
captured alive by him as result OF
mis- peculiar methods of raising the
chickens.
A year ago the unusual poultry raiser
had a number of strawstacks and
large amount of waste screenings in
the neighborhood of his poultry yard
and the immense number Of chickens
of the wild variety in his neighborhood
were not slow in taking advantage
of a good feeding ground. They made
the stacks their feeding places regu-
larly and by degrees became accus-
toned to the ordinary barnyard fowl
kept on the farm. AS the acquaintance
of the wild and the tame f1ocks OF
chickens grew the owner of the barn
yard fowl laid careful plans for the
time when he would bag the entire
flock of wild birds. A narrow canvas
chute was erected from the straw piles
to the poultry house, and at night,
shortly before the cold weather set in,
a large amount Of corn was placed in

square channel which led to the bird
prison. The chickens although ship at
first gradually began eating the corn,
and as the time passed and the corn
was extended into the channel they
kept walking toward the coop, finally
landing inside and mingling with the
tame birds.
At that stage of the work things
moved at a rapid rate. The chute was
closed and the wild hens and their male
friends segregated from the remainder
of the poulary. Wings were clipped
and from the twenty birds captured
over 500 eggs were secured this spring
and placed in incubators The hatch
