HILDA'S BOILERS
 DID NOT BURST
THE ONLY SURVIVOR OF THE STEAMERS CREW SAYS THE VESSEL WAS PINNED ON A HUGE ROCK.

St. Malo, November A.-James Grinter' the only survivor of the crew or tne British channel steamer Hilda, wrecked off the port Saturday night with the loss of 123 lives, was interviewed today' pS a correspondent of the Associated Press and definitely settled disputed points III connection with the disaster. Grinter said:
 "Tbere is no truth in the report that the Hildas boilers burst. There was terrific shock as the steamer struck the rocks and this made d noise resembling an explosion. I am an engine room mechanic and as such l am positive that the boilers are intact.
 '.The Hilda was pinned on huge rock and the waves sweeping fiercely over her carried away the women and children.
 with thirty other persons by actual count I climbed up into the rigging and I managed to hold on until rescued. The others gradually fell off before the fear ful storm of hail and sleet until only six of us remained when we were sighted by the steamer Ada, which rescued us when nearly dead as the result of colo and exposure.
 's,The report that the I1ilda struck or Sunday morning is also wrong. She wen' on the rocks at 10 o'clock Saturday night while going dead slow and trying to make an entrance to St. Malo harbor

TWO ALL-SOUTHFRN MEN
 ON THE SEWANEE TEAM

There are two all-southern players on the Sewanee team which plays Ala bama at West End park tomorrow after noon in what promises to be one of the best games of the season. By that it is meant that they were considered the best players in their respective positions last year in the entire south.
 Scarborough, captain and quarterback, Is probably the smallest and lightest play CT in any of the southern college teams, but he made the all-southern team last year He uses his head to great advantage on the field and manages his team well.
 As a back field man he handles punts easily and safely, and is a good runner in an open field. Ills tackling was the feature of the Sewanee defense last sea- son, and this season he has made equally as good a record.
 It is his ability to kick that has, how ever, made Scarborough famous on south ern gridirons. In the game tomorrow the best kicking of the season will probably be seen, In the Cumberland -Sewanee game this season Scarborough kicked a drop goal against stiff wind from the 33- yard line, a play that would have been difficult to make in practice, and one that was next to impossible against the strong Cumberland team.
 The other all-southern team man Is M. Watkins, the right tackle. There promises 10 be some lively football playing when Watkins and Neill meet, as the latter has been playing some very fine football {, Iaft toolsla for Alabama.

MISSIONARIES ARE
 NOT TO BE BLAMED
THE PRESBYTERIAN BOARD SAYa THEY DID NOTHING TO JUSTIFY THEIR MURDER BY THE CHINESE.

New York, November FLA declaration that the American missionaries at Lien Chow did nothing to justify their recent murder by the Chinese population at that place was issued today by the Presbyte- rian board of foreign missions. It was as follows:
 .sIt would not be at all to the discredit of pr. Machle if 1t should prove that he took advantage of his property rights to protest against a festival platform on which there were the firin gof cannon. the exploding of firecrackers and the the strident music and other distracting noises incident to Chinese religious fes- tivaI Such a tumult would be highly in- furious to the many patients that were crowding the two hospitals in the prem ises. to say nothing of the discomfort and possible danger to the missionary families from the excited and probably half-intoxi- cated crowd. But such a protest, while perhaps sufficient to excite a personal at- tack upon Dr. Machle hardly seems an adequate cause for the murder of fve oth- CT persons and the whole destruction Of the mission property. while pr. Machle was. unharmed."

HOWARD SCRUBS WON.
Defeated University High School By a
 Score of 16 to o.

In a short. snappy game of twenty and fifteen-minute halves the Howard Scrubs defeated the University High School eleven by a score of IS to yesterday. The Howard boys were a few pounds heavier than their opponents and showed much better training. During the first half the University team was played of its feet, Howard scoring two touchdowns and one goal. The University boys were game to the core and rallied considerably in the second half, holding Howard down on their five-yard line. Then the University quarter showed bad judgment in trying a line buck when he had four yards to go on third down. The ball went over to Howard and the third touchdown was the result.
 The game was devoid of any unpleasant ness and much interest was manifested by the friends of both elevens The lineup was as follows:

significant change of tone on the part of some radical organs against the dictato- rial author of social democrats. The Russ loudly denies that the victory of the imperial reform manifesto belongs solely to the workmen declaring that the prole- tariat was strong then because it voiced the sentiment of the nation.
 "The leaders of the proletariat," says the Russ, must understand that they cannot and must not become dictatorial The precious strength of the nation, ex. hausted though 1t may be by long struggle, must not be wasted

Light Receipts Reported by Buyers and
Prices Rule Slightly Lower. y
Potatoes have been marketed very
slowly this week, which is partially
due to the poor conditions of the
roads and partially to the fact that
the farmers have sold a sufficient
quantity to meet Immediate financial
demands.
Prices have ranged from As to Al
cents for Burbanks and As to 4S for
Triumphs with but slight variations.
The storehouses are filled to over
flowing and a shortage of cars still
prevails. 1t is estimated that at least
400 carloads are now in the hands OF
warehousemen.
The starch factory has up to this
time consumed about $1,000 bushels OF
potatoes, large quantity being
stock which was rendered unfit for
table consumption by the frost.
It is impossible to estimate the
quantity remaining in the ground,
which will be almost an entire loss,
but the number of bushels will run
into the thousands

L. S. Briggs SURPRISED.


+ On Tuesday evening the members of
the K. P. and Rathbone Sisters lodges
swooped down upon the residence of
L. S. Briggs and took the habitation
by storm. It was the forty-third
anniversary of Mr.. Briggs birthday,
although that gentleman had himself
failed to remember it. His wife was
aware, however, that the storming
party would make it's appearance. In
fact she was an accessory before the
fact. Surprised as Mr.. Briggs was
by the throng's appearance, he was
compelled to make a speech and sing
a song, after which he was permitted
to seat himself upon the piano stool
the chairs being all occupied-and
was then presented with a massive
gold ring with ''F. G. B." the Pyth-
ians' motto, emblazoned thereon, the
initials being symbolic of Friend
ship, Charity and Benevolence. It
was truly jolly and happy crowd
that passed the evening with Mr.. and
Mrs. Briggs in honor of the formers
birthday. Songs, instrumental music,
speeches and feasting constituted the
evenings program.

HOMESTEAD LAW.
settler Must Establish Residence by Ltv-
Ing on Claim Continually Five Years.

Settler Must Establish Residence by Ltv-
ing ON Claim Continually Five Years.
a settler must, within six months
after making his. entry, establish his
actual residence in house upon the
land, and must reside upon and Gull
tivate the land continuously in ac-
cordance with law for the term of five
years. Occasional visits to the land
once in six months or oftener do not
constitute residence. The homestead
party must actually inhabit the land
and make it the home of himself and
family, as we'll as improve and cult
vate it. 49,.
Special Land Office Agent Layman
has been touring the entire north
country looking after the interests of
the homesteaders that have settled in
this territory. He bears with him
optimistic views of the future of the
north country. But he also bears
with him common warning to all
those that have taken up claims in
the public domain of government on
account of the laxity of attention
that has been paid by homesteaders
to the requirements of the laws of
Uncle Sam governing the purity of
the titles to the land that they have
selected.
In the previous years." says Mr..
Layman, ;'the attention of land own
ers has been directed toward other
lands but now that the value of the
soil Of northern Minnesota is grad
ually becoming so we'll known there
is a iix{}ht for the best and most fertile
locations. This will mean that the
grounds for, the claim to any piece of
land by any homesteader will be
strenuously examined and put to the
test of the law if there appears to be
the least chance for getting the land.
That clause in the law which is
most passed over and neglected by
the hOmesteader is that which refers
to the residence on the land and the
cultivation thereof. On this conten-
ton alone it is believed that over half
1.-The claims in northern Minnesota may
be successfully contested. In some
cases men have been known not to 60
to their land at all and in many other
cases only make occasional visits. In
some of these cases the land is not
even broken let alone cultivated and
improved under the meaning of the
law. '-Bemidji Pioneer. p l.>. =, .

SPLIT LOG DRAG
Produces Remarkable Results in the Town
of Baldwin,.

Produces Remarkable Results in the Town
of Baldwin,.
The virtue of the split-log drag
has again been demonstrated for
roadmaking, this time in the town of
Baldwin, where the implement manu-
featured by Andy Bulls of this place
was successfully used by G.. A. John
son.
1t appears that the piece of road
across the Baldwin flats was in most
deplorable condition and it was de-
cided to test the utility of the split-log
drag owned by Mr.. Rutherford.
Mr.. Johnson secured the drag and
applied it to the road mentioned with
the result that two applications suficed
to transform rutty quagmire into a
good rOad-a road which was almost
impossible into a thoroughfare over
which it is now possible to draw a
heavy load with ease.
The split-log drag bids fair to ere
long become indispensable as a road
maker. 1t is inexpensive and practi-
cal.
