THE LAND SHARKS
JURY EXPECTED TO INDICT
ANOTHER BUNCH.
Probably Will Demand That Mitch
ell, Hermann and Williamson Give
Bonds for Appearance.

Portland, April 3.-The Telegram
says: A batch of new indictments
is certain to come with the reassembl-
ing of the federal grand jury next
Tuesday, and already many prominent
people in various parts of the country
not heretofore suspected of completely
in any Of the land frauds, are trembl-
ing in their shoes at the prospects.
1t is announced that the grand jury
will not be able to finish with the
business in hand prior to the time set
for it's final adjournment on April 10,
and that it will be necessary to call
another jury then. AS a matter of
fact, it is considered certain that
there is sufficient amount of work
now under consideration to consume
the time of another grand jury not
fully taken up by the one retiring.
The last session attending the re-
turn of District Attorney Heney is
contained in the positive assurance
that Senator Mitchell and Congress
man Hermann and Williamson will
be required to either give bond at
once or fall victims to bench war
rants from the court, as it is under
stood that Heney never consented
to their going free after the adjourn
ment of congress. They were permit
ted to go on their own recognizance
at the time of their indictment on
account of congress being in ses-
sion, but for no other reason.
The chances are there will be a
general investigation concerning the
escape of Benjamin F. Milton and
Adeibert G. Zachary, under indict-
ment by the federal grand jury on
account Of alleged completely in land
frauds.
Both are now fugitives from justice,
neither having given the required
bond of $4,000.

In Russia it is different, though not so bad as

homage of their devotion Heavens Queen by fer

The history of this devotion carries us back to the
time of Saint Dominic but of the precise date of its
origin we have no authentic record. 1t has been as
serted that the devotion use prior to the time
of Saint Dominic and that the faithful were in the
habit of repcating certain number of Our Fathers
which they counted knotted cords or strings of
beads whence these beads themselves were commonly
called Pater nosters These Instruments of popular
