PORTUGAL s THRONE
IS NOW T0TTER|NG
PARIS SEES DAWN OF REPUBLIC IN
REVOLT OF COUNTRY TO
THE SOUTH.
CARLOS HOUSE is IN REVOLT.
Kings Policy Anglers Populace and Re-
moval of Cabinet Members
Is Demanded.
TROUBLE is EXPECTED SOON.

PARIS, Nov. 25.-That revolution,
the abdication of King Carlos, and the
formation Of republic in Portugal will
be the outcome of the present disturb
ances in that country is the belief of well
! informed circles here.
\ strict censorship is being placed on
all dispatches coming from Lisbon and
it is impossible to get news direct from
that city, but travellers returning to
Spain report that the entire city is III
state of confusion and that frequent
clashes between the soldiers and the in
surgents have occurred and that many
persons have been killed and wounded.
Some of the ministers are said TO have
requested King Carlos TO declare martial
law throughout the kingdom, but TINS he
has so far refused to do.
Own Household in Revolt.
1t is reported that King Carlos faces
trouble in his own household as well as
from the people, and that Col. Iasta, anu
dc camp. has resigned because of troubles
with his majesty.
Trouble is also brewing in the army
and several regiments whose loyalty Is
feared have been disarmed.
One report, which was received by way
of Madrid, states that the King is viz
tually prisoner in his palace. This
message adds that the Spanish authori-
ties have taken so serious Il view or the
situation as to have begun preparations
to preserve Spanish neutrality in case
of Il state wide revolution.
Cause of the Trouble.
The present state of affairs in Portugal
was brought about by the antagonlsm
held by the Conservative party to the
dictatorship which is headed by Prime
Minister Franco.
The opposition to the premier has been
growing steadily for several months and
eliminated recently in a message to the
king demanding that Premier Franco Toe
depoSed from power.
The answer to this request was the
banishmeut by his father of Crown
Prince Louis to Villa Nicoso, a royal
residence IN remote part Of the king
dom. Immediately after the report of
Louis Punishment became known the
government issued a denial, but this was
taken in Paris to mean nothing.
Then later Carlos announced his en-
tire faith in Franco and the other mem
bcrS of the cabinet now holding power
and refused absolutely to remove them.
The Conservatives Immediately called
for national demonstration on January
>. when, it is stated, a national assembly
must be proclaimed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-l SpecialI-
A mystery that may never be fully solved
surrounds the death of Nicholas Smith,
wealthy New York manufacturer, anG his
wife. who were found shot to death in
their home at New Rochelle early today.
The bodies were found by iremen who
had been summoned to fight blaze IN
the cellar Of the residence which hao
been started by the murderer.
Theory points to the wife as the slayer.
Smiths Had Quarreled.
Two servants in the house say that the
Smiths had a quarrel last evening. Sew
eral hours iater-long after midnight
made no attempt to investigate as they
feared to leave their room. They We're
found there when the iiremen came.
Mrs. Smiths body was found in her
bed. She was lying as if asleep with
both hands fClCrd beneath her head.
There was Il bullet wound III the breast.
just across the threshold in an adjoining
room lay the body Of the husband. He
was partly dressed. There was bullet
wound bchinG the left ear and another
in the breast. 4 revolver was lying by
his side on the floor
After first examination, the police con.
cluded the husband had killed his wife,
fired the house and then ended his own
life. Later, however, Il note found III
Mrs. Smiths bedroom put an entirely
different aspect on the affair. The note
was as follows:

ing as III the note. also was found.
Tried to Fire House.
That determined attempt to destroy
the house by fire has been made was
evident from an examination Of the par
tally burned cellar. The plug had been
withdrawn from a barrel of oil aud the
whole cellar bottom and a large quaint
ty of broken wood which had been
streWn about has been saturated 4
servant told the police that the barrel
of oil was removed to the cellar from a
stable two days ago by order of Mr.

Coroner Squrcs, who took charge of
the bodies, said after a preliminary in
vcstigation of the circumstances, that
he was reasonably certain that Mrs.

There is a Reason to Believe
that Land may take on a Boom

1t is not at all improbable and in
TACT 1t is more than likely, that
northern Red Lake and Marshall
counties are to have revival Of
activity in farm lands such as was
experienced several years ago.
More and more people are BEGIN

cheap but productive land in the
two counties. This attraction it.

ing into consideration the extremely
high price of land in Canada and
North Dakota even when unimprov-
ed and far from railroad facilities.
here the soil is just as good if not
better and the price is far lower.
Another good indication of the

HIGH WATER.

The Red river has been very high
at Oslo this week. The whole town
was. flooded for couple days, many
of the business houses narrowly
escaping having water on the first
floor. Boats and rubbers boots we're
called into requisition. The river
expanded until it extended almost
two miles over the prairie on the
Minnesota side: but it is now going
down rapidly, and aside from a little
inconvenience to few farmers, no
particular harm has been done.
At Alvarado also the Snake river
overtlowed it's banks, flooding the
streets of that town for a few days.
The worst is now over, however, and
no damage has resulted from the
little wetting.
