Count Ignatief was one Of the leading
men Of Russia and one Of the most detested.
From being a liberal, advocating broad re-
forms, he suddenly turned to the side of
the reactionists after the success Of the
repressive measures adopted at the time
of the revolt in Moscow in the summer OF
1905, and shortly afterward was reported
as having entered into a conspiracy to have
the meeting of Parliament dissolved and
himself made dictator of Russia. His death
may nave been decreed as a result OF this
change of front. He was reported as hav-
ing been assassinated last May, but the
rumor was untrue. Probably a plot to
kill him missed fire.
Count Ignatief was the younger of the two
sons of the first Count OF that Name. His
father was at n time Governor-General
of st. Petersburg and President OF the
Council of Ministers Of the Russian Empire.
He died one of the richest men in Russia.
Alexis Pavolich ~Ignatief, his younger
son, was born in 1912 and after completing
the oourse in the Corps OF Pages entered
the Regiment of the Hussars of the Guard.
In 1853 he was promoted TO be commander
OF the Chevalier Guards, and in 1881 became
chief Of staff OF the Guard Corps.
His first post in the administrative service
was as GOvernor-Genera of Irkutsk, to
which he was appointed in 1886. He was
sent to Kief as GOvernor-General of that
city in 1889. and remained there until 1897.
He had great influence with the Emperor
n was a member Of the Council OF the
Empire and Chamberla in TO the Empress.
Count ~Ignatief had been a stubborn reac-
ZIONIST until after the riotsof Red Sunday
when he was sent nv the Gar to NAL e a
our OF southern Russia On his return he
advocated the widest possible measures Of
reform and their speediest Introduction,
and was regarded as having done more
to overthrow the plans OF NJ. Boulyguine
and other reactionists than any other man.
But after the success OF the repressive
measures following the Moscow revolt
he changed front for the second time and
became the active ally of Gen. Trepof in
supporting the measures OF Minister Of the
Interior Durnovo and in bringing about
the downfall OF Count White. The con-
spiracy into which he is said 10 have entered
had for its object the appointment of HIM
self as dictator and the forcible dissolution
of Parliament by the guard regiments
which he had once commanded. He was
regarded as being the greatest enemy OF
Russian liberalism of his time.

Bob O'Brien Strikes Stumps.

Bob O'Brien of Wyanett, with a
lady friend, drove to social gather
ing several miles from home last week
upon night which was as black as
pitch. On the return trip Bob, who
was whistling The Irish haunting
Car" became aware that the buggy
was performing antics of a peculiar
nature-the wheels seemed to be pass
ing over very irregular ground.
Then, Of sudden, the vehicle bumped
against something and stopped in
stanter. Bob jumped out, lit match,
and discovered that the horses had
left the road and were travelling
through maze of jackpine stumps.
In the intense darkness it was impos-
sible to extricate the buggy, and the
only thing which could be done was to
sit there and grin and bear it until the
sun came up. This was done!

TWO SMALL FIRES.

oswald Kings Porch Damaged and Chas
- Elders Barn Destroyed.
Early Thursday morning neighbors
OF Oswald King in north Princeton
discovered that the upper part of his
porch was on fire and turned in an
alarm. It was found, however, that
the services of the department were
unnecessary and q telephone message
was sent in to that, effect. A bucket
Or two Of water extinguished the
flames and allayed all anxiety. The
fire is supposed to have originated
from sparks emitted by the chimney.
At O'Clock on Monday an alarm
was turned in from fire ward No. s.
north Princeton-and the department
responded in double-quick time. The
fire proved to be of small proper
tiOns. It originated in barn about
II feet square on the premises of
Chas. Elder. and the department, al
though unable to save the structure,
succeeded in preventing the flames
from coming into contact with the
dwelling house. A COW, which was in
the barn at the time, was removed
without injury to the animal. A little
girl, playing with matches, is sup
posed to be responsible for the fire.

Revolving Stories.

That three men were shot to death
on a blazing roof in San Francisco
to keep them from being burned alive
is solemnly asserted by Max Fast,
who told this story in Salt Lake city:
when the fire caught the Windsor
hotel, at Fifth and Markell said Mr..
Fast, There were three men on the
roof and it was impossible to get them
down. Rather than see the men fall
in with the roof and be roasted alive.
the military officer directed his men to
shoot them, which they did, in the
presence of 5000 people. I saw great
stones fall on three men near the citv
hall, crushing the life out of them.
In Union square I stood beside a
woman who died actually from fright
and thirst. Her last request was for
water and we had none to give her.
At Jefferson square I saw fatal
clash between the military and the
police. A policeman ordered soldier
to take up a dead body to put it in
the wagon and the soldier ordered
the policeman to do it. Words fol-
lowed and the soldier shot the police
man dead
John Cashnear, an old soldier from
Spearish, S. D., saw the military
shoot negro near the city hall. The
negro had been robbing the corpse of
a woman and, to get a ring from her
swollen finger, cut the finger off.

Nothing could be more terrible than
the calamity at Agnew's asylum near

San Jose from San Francisco only to
find that he had gone from bad to

found the asylum in ruins and 200 de-
mented creatures buried there. It was
a sight to transfx one with horror to
see scores of madmen and women,

lying on a pile Of rocks, was his

by grief, he threw himself across the

diers discovered that he was chewing

one of the soldiers and with that he

Important Notice,


State Of Minnesota, Department of
Public Instruction., St. Paul, April
10, 1906.
Guy Ewing, county superintendent
of schools. Dear Sir: Since issuing
the recent circular instructing county
superintendent to report for appor-
tionment only pupils between six and
twenty-one year of age, under section
1916 of the Revised Law, it has been
found that that section is unconsti-
tutional: that under the constitution
the state school fund must be distrib-
uted to pupils between five and twenty
one years of age attending forty days
or more, as formerly.
You will therefore disregard the
former circular of this department
and follow the old law.
Yours very truly,
