Parker A. Jacobson, manager Of the
Armour Packing company's ST. Paul
interests, and John A. Bangs, manager
for the Swift Packing company, were
subpoenaed yesterday morning to ap
pear before the United States grand
jury in Chicago, April "a, to testify in
the beef trust investigation.
The serving of the subpoenas was an
utter surprise, not alone to the st.
Paul managers, but TO packing COM
pany representatives in cities through
out the East, West and Middle West.
In all cities where the companies in
volved have managers subpoenas were
served sharp at 9 o'clock.
The instructions from the district at
torney's Office demanded the utmost
secrecy of United States officers in
trusted with the duty of service, and
it was urged that the whereabouts of
the men to be subpoenaed should be
definitely ascertained in, advance and
service absolutely assured by any
means within the authority of the
United States marshals.
United States Marshal Grimshaw
placed the subpoenas in the hands of
his deputies Monday night with in
structions to serve them at yester-
day morning. The men whose names
appeared on the summonses were found
without difficulty, as no inkling had
been permitted to leak out of the con-
templated action. There was evidently
a determination on the part of the au-
thorities to insure the attendance of
the men whose evidence is essential to
adequate examination of beef trust af-
fairs, special instructions having been
issued to all officers, cautioning them
against permitting news of the move
ment to become public.
Strike All at Once
This swift action marks the first
great stroke in the fight of the courts
against the trust. AS similar secrecy
was maintained everywhere through
out the trust territory, it is probable
that a majority of the company man
ayers were served with papers.
When called upon last night, Mar
shall Grimshaw at first refused to

majority of the members of the house
are favorable to the proposed joint res
olution to prevent drawback payments

Mr.. Alverdes' office to ascertain if he
had really made such a charge.
Mr.. Moeller asked Mr.. Alverdes if
he had ever stated to Mr.. Pottgieser
or any other person that he, Moeller.
had ever offered him any money for
withholding a bid.
Alverdes Was Offered Money
Mr.. Alverdes said:
Il never made any such statement. 7
did tell Mr.. Pottgieser that / had been
offered money If would refuse to COM
pete in county bids for binding He
did not inquire who had offered me the
money and / didn't tell him. / have

was not you that made me the offer of

bids were opened and 1 found that the
other bidders had put in bids for al
most double the amount offered to do
the work for, l wondered how they
could expect to get the contract, for
consider 1 will be well paid"
When Mr.. Moeller had secured the
statement from Mr.. Alverdes that he
had never made the charge credited TO
him by Mr.. Pottgieser, he Immediately
consulted his attorney in regard TO
filing suit against Mr.. Pottgieser for
libel.

now said Mr.. Moeller. THE printers
ring is out to do me. l was informed
by printer this morning that the COM
bination was agitating the question of
quietly boycotting my shop Of course
that would mean good deal to me, as
the bookbinders get large part OF

Several bills for book binding and re-
pairing which were allowed by the

DULUTH, Mimi. Feb. 21.-Pearl H.

made good his threat made at st.
Paul last October when he instituted
an action in the United States court
today to have Miss Mabel Evans state
lease to the famous Virginia silver
mining tract vacated and to have a
like title issued to him.
George A. Finn, st. Paul, chief land
clerk during the incumbency of the
state auditors Office by r. c. Dunn, is
made codefendant, and the state ap-
pears through S. G. Iverson, present
state auditor, who is also made de-
fendant 1. c.. Patterson, of Princeton

Miss Evans is made a defendant with
the principals, and Coryate S. Wilson
and b. E. Baker, Duluth mining men
who are supposed to have purchased
shares in the state lease, are also de-
PENDANTS.
The Virginia silver is said to be
one of the most valuable iron mining
properties in the Mesabi iron range.
The history of the tract reads not un-
like romance. Officially described
as lot ], section s, township So, range
127, st. Louis county, for the past
three years it has been known in min
ing circles as the Virginia silver. The
name is derived from its peculiar
sliverlike proportions, and from the
fact that it is adjacent to the famous
Virginia mining properties. Contain
ing 154.30 acres, it is said to be worth
at least s15,OOo,o00. Under the Evans
lease the state officers expect to real
ize royalty of many hundreds of
thousands of dollars for the state
school fund.

SIGNATURE OF EX-GOV.

Utah Worlds Fair Finances Show
Deficit and Cannon Disappears

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. 21.-
That the signature of ex-Gov. Heber
NJ. Wells. was forged to orders aggre-
eating $2,100 was brought out today
before the legislative committee in
vestigating the deficit in the finances
in the Utah worlds fair commission.
Gov. Wells testified that he had ac-
cused the secretary of the fair COM
mission, John @. Cannon, of committing
the forgery, but the latter answered
equivocally. Secretary Cannon's where
abouts is unknown. He is a son of the
late George @. Cannon, formerly presi-
dent of the Mormon church. He is a
brother-in-law of Gov. Wells and has
held many positions of prominence in
the state. 1t is said the relatives of
Cannon have paid the amount of the

MILLER, S. D., Feb. 21.-Weirdly
strange is the story Of George Gid
den's experience. He is a prominent
farmer seven miles east of here. He
had sold a load of hogs in washington
and drank glass of liquor with a
friend. This went to his head and in
his dazed condition he bought pint
of the stuff to take home with him,
saying he would mix strychnine with
it to poison wolves.
On his way home he put the strych-
nine into the pint of whisky and drank
1T down, he believing he was now poi
soning wolves. He fell in the wagon
box, and the horses reached home to
be noticed some time after standing
by the barn. Glidden was taken to the
house by his wife and others and suf-
fered untold agony, as the two poisons
were working in his system, and his
life was despaired of for a night and a
day.

RUSSIANS ALMOST
PROPOSE PEACE
Will Give Japan More Than She
Asked-Caucasus in Full
Revolt

LONDON, Feb. ga dispatch to
Reuters Telegram company from st.
Petersburg confirming the report that
peace was under consideration, adds:
The question of peace has not only
been formally discussed, but the con-
ditions on which Russia is prepared to
make peace have practically been
agreed upon. These are as follows:S
Korea to be placed under Japanese
suzerainty; Port Arthur and the Lao
tung peninsula to be ceded to Japan:
Vladivostok to be declared a neutral
port with an open door; the Eastern
Chinese railroad to be placed under
neutral international administrations
Manchuria as far north as Harbin to
be restored as an integral part of the
Chinese empire. The difficulty lies in
settling the question of indemnity upon
which il is known that Japan insists,
but it is thought that this difficulty is
not insuperable
THE most trustworthy opinion at st.
Petersburg is that peace on the terms
outlined will be concluded within a
comparatively short time if the in
demnity question can be arranged, but
il is quite probable that Russia will
risk another battle before a decision is
reached"
The rumors that peace is near are
accepted by the press of London
this morning as having strong inherent
probability. According to continental
reports, the emperor of Austria has
used his efforts to persuade Emperor
Nicholas to seek peace. 1t is suggested
that the terms outlined may be re-
garded as forming an extremely pos
sible basis for peace, as they are held
to include more than Japan claimed
before the war.
r ST. PETERSBURG, Feb 21.-Some
persistent reports declare that Emperor
Nicholas not only has decided to con-
woke representative body, but that he
also is bent on making peace. He is rep
resented to have taken this decision
chiefly on the advice of Emperor William.
The only obstacle to peace is said to be
the question of indemnity, which Russia
Will refuse to pay.
BERLIN, Feb 21.-The Vorwaerts
prints a dispatch without indicating the
place from which il was sent. saying:
THE whole Caucasus region is in re-
volt. Armenians, Prussians and Circas-
slams have formed coalition against the
emperor of Russia, and seized arms and
even cannon from Russian soldiery. They
hold tie governor of the district as a
prisoner. The revolutionists are organiz-
ing camps outside the cities"
ST PETERSBURG, Feb. 21.-The rail-
road strike situation is reported to be
growing worse in the southwest and pri-
vate advices are said TO show the exist
ence of a reign OF terror in Tifiis and the
Caucasus generally. Many murders by
Tartars and Armenians are reported.
Communication has been almost COM
pletely cut off, even the telegraphers

JOE GRIBBIE WILL
 SERVE JAIL TERM
WELL KNOWN DOUGLAS cHARAc. TER SENT TO TOMB
 STONE.
Sentenced to Serve Ten Days in Hope That He May Sober Up After Pro tracted Spree.

Douglas, Ariz-, Oct. 26.-(Special. .)-
 fhe redoubtable Joe Gribble was before Judge Mcdonald this morning for being drunk and disorderly yes terday, and got his in the shape of a jail sentence of ten days and a fine of $25. The sentence will be served out in the Tombstone jail, it being decided that it was impossible to keep liquor from the man were he to be confined in the local jail. Gribble will be taken to Tombstone this after noon.
 The man appeared in court this morning the abject wreck of the man who, two years ago, conducted the Old Crow bar at Tenth street and H avenue. When his building there fell down and wrecked the Cattle Ex- change bar, which stood on the cor ner, Gribble is said to have removed most of his stock of liquors to his home, and to have done his best in the meantime to consume it himself It may be said that for two years he has been practically continually drunk. Possessed of property, and once with plenty of money, he has a worse appearance than any stage bum would dare to use in makeup.
 It is to be hoped that the sentence in the Tombstone jail will sober him. but the officers here say that he will not stay sober once he returns to Douglas.

Douglas. Ariz., Oct. 26.-(Special.l l-
 According to reports from Tomb stone the proprietoTs of the Interna- tional-American have been again sued by Julius Welgehausen. This time damages are asked in the sum of S13,000. based on the publication of an article which told the facts of an incident which occurred at the Vel gehausen home on Thirteenth street in this city, when Mir Welgehausen went to his home, fired several shots and a man ran from the house and up the street. These facts are well known to the people of Douglas and their recital here would be useless.
 This is the second suit the Welge hausen family has brought against the International-Americ the first, asking for $50O0 damages, being due to be called in the district court to- day.
 When these cases come to trial the defendant will be able to prove the truth of the matters published and a great deal more which will be in- Ceresting, and our readers will be given all the testimony as brought ont in court.
 District Attorney c. L. Rawlins of Graham county is in Douglas today, and he will have charge of these cases in court, representing the Inter- national-American. He will be here several days and then go to Clifton and Silver City.
 It is an easy matter to bring a suit for damages; anybody can do that; but it is quite a different thing to make it stick, and the International American is not alarmed in the least because of the results of these dam age cases, as the facts are too well known to reputable citizens of Doug las.

It may be piece of superfluous ad- vice to urge people at this season of the year to lay in a supply of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. It is al- most sure to be needed before the winter is over, and much more prompt and satisfactory results are obtained when taken as soon as a cold Is con- tracted and before 1t has become set tied in the system, which can only be done by keeping the remedy at hand. This remedy is so widely known and so altogether good that no one should hesitate about buying it in preference to any other. It Is for sale by all dealers in patent medS- cines.
