through the probate court. The prose-
cutting attorney of Madison has writ
ten to the Duluth police asking them to
see if they could find relatives of the
murdered man, as he was anxious to
keep the property from falling into the
hands of the woman.
Inquiries made of farmers from
some of the largest settled districts
and of a number of settlers in outly-
ing districts, indicate that the stock in
St. Louis county has come through
the winter season in excellent condi-
ton, in fact in generally better con-
dition than for several years past.
So far as can be learned there is lit
tie or no disease among the horses,
cattle, sheep or swine, and only one or
two instances are known where ami
mails have died from exposure. The
big hay crop that was put in all over
the settled localities in the county,
coupled with the fact that the winter
weather has been comparatively mild,
had cut the loss by exposure down to
a minimum.
A stone the size of a small apple
has just been removed from the gullet
of an insane patient at Rochester.
The victim is in dangerous condi-
ton, for besides the serious nature of
the operation necessary for the re-
moval of the stone, he had been una
BILE to take food or drink since last
Saturday. The position of the stone
was located by means of X-ray photo
graphs. It was so tightly wedged in
the esophagus that it's removal was
accomplished with great difficulty.
1t seems almost incredible that hui
man being could swallow a stone of
that size, it being large enough to fill
the mouth cavity of an ordinary per-
son. It is believed that the insane
man must have used considerable
force. He is said to have had ma
MIA for swallowing things.
There has been an epidemic of crime
at Bemidji during the past week, pick
pockets being especially successful in
their operations. Two men at the
Great Northern station we're robbed
of Sill, one losing 500 and the other
S11. The thefts were committed while
the westbound train was standing at
the station. One of the men robbed
had just purchased ticket from the
ticket agent and was boarding the
train when a man crowded up to him
and, extracting his pocketbook, sue
cessfully escaped. The other victim
was relieved of his money in the same
manner. A bold attempt was made to
hold up a woodsman named Nichols
on Beltrami avenue. Nichols had
just come out of the woods and had
considerable money, which he had
incautiously displayed while in sa-
loon. Two chance acquaintance in
duced him to go out with them. and
when dark place on the street was
reached they seized him, while third
man attempted to take away his
money. He fought so desperately,
however, and made such an outcry
that the robbers were frightened
away. It is believed that there is an
organized band Of crooks operating
in the vicinity of Bemidji.

nation they might give to the world.
So far as Japan was concerned, it was
to her interests both in her belligerent
and her chivalric aspect that the opin-
ion should prevail that Stoessel was a
brave and able officer who had held out
long as there was ammunition left or
yielded only when overwhelmed.
But war is a grim business, and the
conduct of commanders can only be
judged by the grim principles on which
it is based. Under the conditions that
existed, it was Stoessel's duty to de-
fend as vigorously and as obstinately
as it was possible. Neither humanity
to his troops or his wounded had any
legitimate consideration. Though the
eventual capture of the place may have
been inevitable, it was his duty to
compel the Japanese 10 take it by as
sault and siege that should last as
long as there was ammunition left Hur
a man to use it.
1t was the almost universal COM
plant of Russian officers passing
through here after the surrender, and
of Russian officers, correspondents and
others elsewhere. THAI Stoessel had
IltlluGI utltlluGu dS vigorously lOI as
obstinately as he should that there
were both ammunition, ahd men to use
it, left in the beleagued fortress when
it was surrendered. There was at the
time considerable expression of opinion
that if the Court Martial which was
inevitable to inquire into the circum-
stances of the surrender, was guided by
probity and the principles of military
duty and action, Stoessel would not
come out of the ordeal laurel crowned.

FOUND A FATHER.

From the Warrensburg MOI Star.
Mrs. Ed Roop had two turkey hens to
die of cholera. They left twenty-three lit
tie turkeys that did not know what to do
with themselves. In their distress they
turned to the old gobbler, who at first
treated their advances with scornful indig-
nifty. But they kept after him. as he
looked more like the real thing than any
thing else in the neighborhood. and al
most tormented the life out of him.
Finally his masculine heart melted, for
the motherless brood began to droop and
grow faint for the lack of sympathy, and
he did the handsome by squatting down
and lowering them beneath his big wings.
Once done it was easy to do 1t again, and
when night came his majesty did not fly
I'D to his lofty perch, but he wandered
away to a secluded spot with his gladstone
brood and lowered them in the most ap-
proved manner Since then he has been
unfailing in his attentions to his adopted
family, taking them out each day to the
pastures and teaching them how to find
the tenderest and best bugs and grass
hoppers. And woe be It to any other tur-
key, male or female. who comes near. He
can whip anything in the country.

New Orleans in 1903.

Governor Blanchard of Louisiana
and Mayor Behrman of New Orleans
and other leaders in various walks of
life in that city are endeavoring to in
duce the democratic national commit
tee to assemble the next convention
of the party in New Orleans.
The New Orleans people present va
rious points in favor of nominating
the democratic presidential candidate
OF 1908 in their city, but the fact that
New Orleans is fast becoming one Of
the great ports of the country-second
only to New York or San francisco,
ought to suffice No national conven-
ton has ever been held there, and
there Is really no reason why one
should not be.
Not since 1860 has a national con-
vention been held in the south, and
the time to hold another is overdue.
Let the convention be held in New Or
leans, and let the name of southern
man appear on the presidential ticket.
This would be but justice to states
that have through thick and thin up
held the democratic banner never
wavering, never demanding anything
that would hurt the party, and simply
asking today that sectionalism be
abolished. There is no reason in the
world why New Orleans should not
become the meeting place of the DEM
ocracy in 1908.

San Francisco Today.

Before the May disaster San Fran
cisco held just about 100000 people.
and today there are various estimates
as to how much the city has actually
lost in population. The best conserya-
tive estimates put the actual loss In
population at 100000 In other words,
the population has been reduced to
100000 by the losses that the earth
quake and resultant fires brought
upon it. A great many clerks
and similar workers fed to Portland,
Tacoma, Seattle and Los Angeles,
where these accepted any employment
that would tide them over the disaster,
but the greater loss in population Is
due to the increased number of sub
urbanites who come and go each day.
These are really still San Franciscans,
although their legal residence is across
the bay in Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley
or San Rafael.
San Francisco is hopeful. 1t is not
melting away. Its clearing house re-
turns for last month were $163, 26S,000,
as against S147,706,00O In July of last
year. The business portion of Balti-
more was practically rebuilt in three
years, but no one thinks San Francisco
can be rebuilt in less than twenty
years. The constant fear is. that heavy
earthquake shocks will destroy conf
dence in the stability of the city, and
yet its location and wonderful harbor
demand its rehabilitation. A great
city is sadly needed, and always will
be needed where the new San Fran
cisco is gradually rising from the
ashes of an almost unparalleled dis
aster.

school.
The school is situated on a pretty little
lake. with generous athletic fields In con-

physical training in this institution. In

1ects: training young men to become Y. M.

a. physical directors. 1t was In the GYM
nasium OF the Springfield Training school
tnat basketball originated. James Nal
smith was its inventor, and the idea came
to him when he was trying to devise an
indoor game that should be exciting and
at the same time should not be rough or
dangerous. Mr.. Naismith, now physical
director at the State university of Kan
sas, not only solved the problem for the
school In which he was then Instructor
but furnished a clean, snappy game for
sportsmen everywhere. From the physi-
cal department athletic, muscular young
men are sent not only into association
work. but also into colleges, from which
there has come demand for men of
Christian character, education and tech
meal ability to guide the students in
their sports and In their gymnasium work.
