Ozark Weather and Inau gurations,

Maybe the Capital-removal boomers of
the Ozarks hold that If the seat of gov
eminent We're shipped out to that delecta-
BILE region there would be no need to
change the date of the inauguration to Sc
cure a clement season. Maybe in the
Ozarks March is invariably balmy and
dry and calm. Blessed Ozarks, if that be
true. But meanwhile it is going to take
long, long time to persuade Congress and
the states that 1t is necessary for the
moral health of the nation that the capital
should be boxed up and sent overland to
Missouri. Before that is done there will be
several presidential inaugurations, and I'M
less something is done meanwhile to secure
safer season for the ceremony many
hundreds of lives will be sacrificed on the
altar of conservatism and climate
Let this proposition of the Ozark Auro-
rams. therefore, serve as a text to teach
Congress its duty to the capital and the
citizens of the whole country in this mat
ter of the Inauguration date change 1t
will, of course, involve the same process
to change the date as to move the capital.
The necessary amendment must be voted
by two-thirds of the two houses of Com
gress and then ratified by three-fourths
of the state legislatures. The fathers In
their wisdom provided no sliding scale of
constitutional alterations. But there Is
virtually no opposition to the proposal to
change the inauguration date and there is
likely to be some difference of opinion as
to the paramount claims of the Ozarks as
the ideal of governmental center.
Washington is entirely frank in this mat
ter. 1T does not claim to have the best
climate the elements can yield. 1t ac-
knowledges that some of the days in sum-
mer are atrociously hot, and it suffers
occasionally in midwinter from the freez-
Ing blasts that come out of the northwest
II swelters, In excessive humidity once In
while, and 1t pants for lack of moisture
at other times But taking it by and large
Washington thinks it averages up pretty
well in comparison with other cities 1t
boasts not neither does it complain. It
ply as human nature car display, and
tries to make the best of the case
But Washington does believe and it has
often said. that early March is no time
for the entertainment of enormous crowds
of people with an outdoor spectacle such
the inauguration of a President has
grown to be, in response to a national de-
mand 1t does not excuse itself for the
abominable weather experienced on many
inauguration days. 1t has tried and is
still trying to secure a constitutional
amendment changing the date to a season
when, whether 1t rains or shines, there will
be no danger OF illness and death in at
tending the great national cerer7ony And
to this end 1T seeks, and to a gratifying
extent 1t has received, the support of the
people of all the states, Missouri included

SEE QUE AHEAD.
Special Agents Appearance Causes
Uneasiness to Homesteaders.


NJ. D. McEniry, a special agent OF
the general land Office at Washington,
has been in Walworth county for sew.
eral days. and, as a result, uneaSiness
exists among those few homesteaders
who have reason to fear that the in
v~estigation conducted by the special
agent may cause them trouble when
they attempt to make final proof on
their hOmestcads.
AS a general rule, the homesteaders
have fully complied with the public
land laws, but as is invariably the
case they are a few of them who have
attempted to hold hOmesteads while
engaged in business at some nearby
town. - t is these persons who
have rc2,on to anticipate trouble
when their final proofs are presented
to the land Office.
The land Office officials are becom.
ing more strict as to the proofs they
accept. and recently some final proofs
in that and other parts of the state
have been rejected because the per.
o n making the proofs have not fully
complied with the law as to terms of
residence and character of improve.
ments made on their homesteads.
The visit of the special agent will re-
suit in a full compliance hereafter by
all homesteaders with the laws gov.
erning the disposal of public lands.

MANkAro HAS DUAL TRAGEDY.
Martin Ratus Murders Wife and Then
Shoots Himself.

Mankato, Mimi, April 1. - What
appears to have been a shocking mur
der and suicide occurred in North
Mankato yesterday, probably at noon,
but it was 5 o'clock before it became
known. The victims are Martin Ratus,
a German brick mason, and his wife.
They lived on the outskirts of North
Mankato.
Late in the afternoon a neighbor
passing the house glanced in through
the window and saw the body Of Mrs.
Ratus In a chair in the kitchen, lean.
ing against a table. The police Of this
city were notified and it was not until
hey reached the house and broke in
at it was known that the tragedy
was a double one. On the bed in a
room adjoining the kitchen lay the
body of Ratus, with a revolver in his
right hand, a bullet wound in his left
temple and one near his heart.
No wound could be found on the
woman's body and this leads to the
belief that poison caused her death.
The generally accepted theory is
that Ratus killed his wife and then
ended his own life.

lion IN missouri hiVer Line.
A fight is now on, involving the
ownership and title to the Missouri
River G Northwestern railroad. and
It looks as IL the road will be involved
in extensive litigation. There are two
cases now in the supreme court at
Washington, and they will come up
for trial next month. II w. T. Coad
and associates, who are bringing the
suits are successful, it Is expected
that the Northwestern and the Mil,
waukee will acquire possession of this
road.
This is the road which has just
been completed between Rapid city
and Mystic, and is considered a valu,
able piece Of property. A suit recent
ly decided by Judge Garland on tech.
meal grounds is being appealed to the
United States court of appeals at st.
Paul. 1t is also stated in the United
States circuit court for the purpose
Of foreclosing an old mortgage of the
Dakota & Wyoming River Railroad
company, now amounting to about
three hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. This mortgage has never been
foreclosed. An attempt was made sew
eral years ago to cut it out, but the
action was dismissed by Judge Gard
ner of this city, and two years after
the case was revived, but the trustee
of the mortgage, it is said, was given
no notice of any kind. The outcome
of these various suits will be watched
with much interest.
