St Paul, June 12.-Counsel for Viii.
liam T. Horshell of st. Paul, and B.
Stearns of Pierre, S. D., charged in
the United States district court with
conspiracy to defraud the federal gov
eminent out of $4,000 acres of land in
South Dakota, today surprised the
prosecution by Directing to the in.
dictment. The jury had been select
ed and the diatrict attorneys opening
statement had ben made and the first
witness was on the stand when thehat-
torney for the defense made his OBJ
lection.
He contended that the Indictment
failed to state facts sufficient to con-
stitnte a public offense-that it failed
to point out any means or methods Of
either form or substance of a conspir-
acy; that it failed to describe property
which defendants were alleged to
have conspired to defraud the govern
ment out of, and it was so definite as
not to sufficiently advise the offense
charged against the defendants. Tho
court excused the jury and heard ar
guments and this afternoon sustained
the contentious Of defense. The ac
ton was dismissed, Horsnell ant
Stearns were Immediately re-arrestet
and gave bonds for their appearance al
the September term of court.

Traits of GRAY Squirrels.

Early writer's tell of wonderful mi
grafton of American gray squirrels,
which must have arisen from the rapid
increase and consequent o~vercrowding
Of a locality. Thousands of this species
would start off in a regular army, all
moving in the same direction and with
considerable rapidity, allowing moth
ing to stop their onward march. AL
though these little animals have an ex-
IRENE aversion to water and do not
excel as swimmers, yet, whenever a
water course, no matter what width,
barred their progress, they would not
hesitate for an instant, but plunge in
and struggle desperately for the oppo-
site shore, Selling upon anything in the
way of floating sticks or chips to assist
them in the passage.
Unless. the river was very narrow by
far the smaller percentage reached the
farther shore, the rest becoming ex-
hasted and drowning. These armies
never seemed to reach any destination,
but gradually their numbers would de-
crease by death from drowning and
other hardships, until the band faded
entirely away.
Gray squirrels, generally four in a
nest, are born in March or early April.
They never venture forth from the
nest during the first month and are at
tended alone by the mother. She takes
this task upon herself from choice,
and does not allow another squirrel,
even her own mate, to approach the
nest.-Chicago News.

British View of Paul Jones.

John Paul, the Kirkcudbright market
gardeners son, who elected to be IA
m~rs as Paul Jones, has long ceased to
be the interesting parsonage he was in
the eyes of the naval authorities of
this country when, in command of a
rotten eX-East Indiaman, known as the
Due de Duras and rechrlstened the
Bonhomme Richard, he was a holy
terror in the Firth of Forth, and when
he had engaged and captured a British
frigate in British waters after II Of
the most singular sea combats on rec
ord.
The sometime "blackbirder" and
smuggler whom the Russian Catherine
decorated and advanced somewhat per
saltum to the grade of Admiral was a
traitor, of course, in the view of the
British Government, but one the less
a thorough seaman of quite unusual
talent and originality, with a bulldog
courage and tenacity to match. The
Captain Jones, too, who sent Lady
Selkirk back her plate, with his COM
pliments, had the instincts of a gentle
man.
More than the other countries he
served, America has recognized his
merits, and not the least singular thing
is that after over a hundred years in
earth there should be enough of the
founder Of her navy left to recognize

Fixing Railroad Rates.

Making railroad rates is like playing
a game Of checkers or chess. Com
'munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every posi-
BILE move is studied for its effect on the
general result by skilled traffic mana
gers. A false move in the making of
freight rates may mean the ruin Of q
city, of a great manufacturing interest,
of al agricultural community. Rail-
roads strive to build up all these so
that each may have an equal chance in
the sharp competition of business. So
sensitive to this rivalry are the rail-
roads that in order 70 build up business
along their lines they frequently allow
the shipper to practically dictate rates.
Rate making has been a matter of de-
velopment; of mutual concessions for
mutual benefit. That is why the rail-
roads Of the United States have volun-
tarily made freight rates SO much lower
in this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail-
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transportation
rates in the world.
The Penn's Grove record., 1905-05-19
The Survival of Women,

Both national and city statistics indi-
cate that the men of the United States
are dying off faster than the women,
Various reasons are assigned for the
fact-the more strenuous life of men,
their greater exposure to accidents,
and more recklessness in regard to
health.
The second half Of the nineteenth
century made important changes for
women. 1t relieved them from much
of the old drudgery and gave them
leisure for mental development and
social intercourse, They began to be-
lieve less in s~elf-sacriice and more in
self-government. They brought fewer
children into the world and paid better
attention to the physical well-being
of those who were born. They be-
came the friends and companions of
their children and entered into their
interest instead of holding aloof and
talking down to them.
This breadth of interest and the new
and healthier activities in which
women have engaged have done an
immense amount toward keeping them
we'll and warding off old age that used
to creep on at thirty. The grandmother
does not now sit in the chimney corner
with her knitting simply contemplating
the past and quietly awaiting death.
She is president of a club, a leader
in social circles or absorbed in some
needed reform.
Whatever the strenuous life may
mean for man, it certainly seems to be
a benefit to women, If we may judge
from statistics.-Chicago Chronicle.

WREckERS DITCH TRAIN
Six Persons Injured, One Mortally,
on the Santa Fe in Kansas.
Fish Plates Were Removed Previous
Attempts Had Been Made
in Past Months.

Emporia, Kan.-Six persons were in.
jured, two fatally, III the wreck of the
Santa Fe east-bound train, one mile
east of Emporia at 2.3O in the morning,
caused by malicious persons who were
believed to be responsible for three
other attempts to wreck Santa Fe
trains near the same spot within the
last four months.
The wrecked train, No. 10, was I'M
ming about thirty-eight miles an hour
when it struck a curve Oh an embank-
ment eight feet high. Here several
rails had been loosened by the removal
of spikes and fish plates with tools sto-
len from the Howard branch section
tool house. The engine was running
so smoothly it did not leave the track,
but sped we the loosened rails as if
they were firmly nailed to the ties.
This fact, miraculous almost in itself,
probably averted a disastrous wreck.
The mail car, just behind the tender,
left the tracks and the ties as soon as
it struck the loosened rails and was
dragged 200 yards along the edge Of
the embankment.
The two express and baggage cars
and the two days coaches and smoking
car, next behind, bumped on to the
ties, then broke away from the mail
car and engine and went sliding and
humping down the embankment,
breaking through the fence that
bounds the company's right of way and
piling up in a Ziz-zag line 100 feet from
the tracks. The smoker turned over
on its side, and the seven occupants,
six of whom were injured, were help.
less prisoners, till occupants of the
two Pullmans, which did not leave
the tracks, and members of the train
crew came to their assistance. Grover,
the fireman, who was thrown from his
engine and suffered a wrenched Shout
der, broke windows of the smoker, and
thus released the imprisoned and in
jured men.
Nate Hendricks, of Roswell, N. NJ, a
wealthy cattleman, weighing 22j
pounds, was rescued with difficulty be-
cause of his size and weight. Of the
others injured. James Eaguer, seventy
nine years old, from the Fort Leaven-
worth Soldiers Home, was the only
n MORALLY hurt. His head and hands
were cut, his back wrenched and his
left leg fractured in two places. J.. l..
Cooper, a farmer, of Packard, Mo-, suf-
fered a fractured elbow and a cut
hand. j. o. Rice, of Shawnee, o. T.,
was badly bruised and his left ear was
almost torn off. E. A. Taylor, the con-
ductor, will be laid up for some time.
His hands and right leg were badly cut
and four of his teeth were knocked out.
Detectives working on the case found
the tools stolen from the station house
lying in a pool of water. They say
three strange men were seer lettering
around the section tool house one even
