Will BE No State Funeral.

St. Petersburg-By Cable-It has
now been definitely decided that the
remains Of. Grand Duke Sergius will
not be brought to st. Petersburg for
the present, but will be placed in a tenn
porary receiving vault of the Chaudoff
Monastery to await the completion Of
the alterations now in progress in the
Romanoff mausoleum in the cathedral
of st. Peter and st. Paul, where the
permanent interment will occur,
among the tombs of his ancestors.
Another reason is that even Governor
General Trepoff has recognized the
fact that no precautions can furnish
an absolute guarantee Of immunity
against an act of terrorism; and at a
great state funeral, where ancient
custom requires that the Emperor and
all of the Romanoff family assemble
and follow the coffin On foot, single
bomb might wipe out the dynasty.

AN AGED
ATHLETE
Athletic Achievements of Joseph
H. Martin, Aged 81

The theory of DR.. Osler does not
apply to Joseph II. Martin, resident
of the ceded Sioux lands, situated be-
tween the Missouri river and the Black
Hills, in western South Dakota.
Martin is 81 years of age, and not
withstanding his great age is the
champion foot racer and pedestrian of
that part Of the state.
He has a standing challenge to run
against any and all comers over 70
years of age, any distance they choose
from one mile up to ten miles. He
states he prefers ten miles, as he gets
lust nicely warmed up" in that dis
tance.
He has hackers who are willing to
wager that there isn't a man in South
Dakota over 60 years of age who can
beat him in foot race.
One day last summer the old gentle
man walked from his sons cattle ranch
on Mitchell creek to the town Of Mid
land, and back, a distance of about
thirty miles, and when he got home,
instead of being fatigued he was in
condition to participate in dance.
