ST. Petersburg, Feb. 26. The Noyo
Vremya this morning publishes sen
sational account of the foiling Of an
other plot upon the life Of Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholaievitch, president Of
the council Of national defense, and
second cousin Of Emperor Nicholas.
The plot is said to have been discovered
shortly before s o'clock last night, the
time scheduled for the arrival Of the
imperial train bringing the grand duke
from Tsarskoe- Selo. 5
A guard patrolling the track near the
station at the St. Petersburg end of
the line caught man dressed as
workman in the act Of placing a wooden
box in the middle of the track at a point
200 yards from the imperial pavilion.
Aided by darkness, the plotter escaped
to the cab Of an accomplice nearby and
drove away. 3#3
The box was found to contain an in
fernal machine Of enormous power. The
mechanism was designed to cause an ex-
plosion from the vibration Of the train
as it passed. The guard who made the
discovery communicated it to the rail-
road officials, who signalled the train and
succeeded in stopping it before il
reached the machine.

ATTORNEYS FOR STEVE ADAMS
LAYING FOUNDATION FOR THIS
s CONTENTION

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune.
Wallace, Idaho, Feb. 26.-Bit by bit
the attorneys for Steve Adams are
laying the foundation for their conten-
ton that defendant was not in the
Marble creek region when Fred Tyler
was murdered, but was in Spokane.
This forenoon was taken up mainly
by the testimony of some of the early
settlers in that region, telling of the
coming of claim jumpers.
A positive declaration that Steve
Adams and Jack Si1npkins were miles
away from the scene of the crime when
Boule, the claim jumper, was killed, was
made today by Newt Glover. The wit
ness told of seeing a man named Steve
Dickson with Jack Simpkins about July
4, 1904, H..
Asked if he saw Dickson in the court
room, he pointed to Steve Adams and
declared that he was the man. Later
he met Adams several times, and about
Aug. 10th Adams and Simpkins came
to his place and stopped there about ten
days. The day after Boule was muir
dered he heard OF the crime from Frank
Price, another settler, who shouted
across the river, "Boule, the, is
killed. Glover said Adams and Simp-
kins were cutting wood beside his cabin
at this time and he went back there and
told them. A couple of days later
Adams. who had received a letter from
B his wife, went away.

well and 16 children persisted in a
fierce fire which broke out this after
noon in the Hochelaga school of the
Protestant school commission. The
school was located in a brick two-story
building in the east end Of the city and
was attended by about 200 children
whose parents are mechanics living in
the neighborhood. The fire started from
the furnace and was first noticed by
worknen employed nearby. The teach
sers were notified and the work Of get
ting the children out Of the building be-
gan. q
The kindergarden department was 10
Gated on the second floor and it was
here that the loss Of life occurred. The
children were started out, but on reach
ing the landing found the hall full Of
smoke. Into this they refused to des-
cend though the way at this time was
safe. Huddled together on the stairway
at first, they retreated to the rooms from
where they had come. s5 Il
When the fremen arrived extension
ladders were placed in position and a
large number Of the children were res
cued in this way. Assisting in the work
was Miss Maxwell
The fire by this time was making its
way upwards and the smoke was grow
[ ing so dense that even experienced FIRE,
men could not stand it Capt. Carson
tried to get Miss Maxwell to 60 dowr
the ladder but she refused. Evading al
attempt to detain her, she rushed to the
back part of the building in search
lof other Of the little ones. When ths
6remef were finally able TO make theil
way to the back portion of the building
she was lying on the floor with littts
one beside her. All those who persisted
died from asphixiation.
The building was tnprovided with fir
escapes.

a PRoHIRTTToN PUzzLE.

Three eminent Kansas attorneys
two of whom have rendered distin-
guished service in high judicial posi-
lions in the state. have been named by
the supreme court as receivers in the
now famous brewers Injunction cases,
brought by Attorney General Jackson.
These eminent gentlemen are not
only prominent as lawyers, but they
are more or less noted as strict tee
totalers, and at least one of them has a
statewide reputation as a joint fighter.
Now the question arises. what will
these receivers do with the liquid por-
ton of the goods which they receive :?
The court might have appointed re-
ceivers who could have secured more
or less pleasure in saupling these
goods-just to make sure of their
identity, of course-but if Messrs. AL
len, Whitcomb and Carver need any
sampling done. they will have to call
in a salaried samDler-or one who will
donate his services, perhaps.
1t will be impossible to sell these
liquors in Kansas, for that would be in
violation of the prohibitory law.
Think of Judge Carver as a liquor
seller! Imagine George H. Whitcomb
and Judge Allen dealing out wet goods
to quench the fiery burning in the
threats of thirsty Kansans! The hor-
ror of it,
1t is suggested that the court may
order them to take the stuff over into
Missouri and sell it. but it is difficult
to imagine the highest tribunal of a
prohibition state participating indirect
ly in a booze deal, even outside of its
own jurisdiction.
So what shall be with these liquid
refreshments? One can imagine con-
vivial gentlemen in the capacity of
receivers who might also have acted
as free dispensers to their intimate
friends, but not so with these gentle
men. There will be no dispensing to
jovial friends while they are running
things. The prospect really looks
good for a wholesale turning loose of
good liquor-or bad. according to your
sentiments-upon the thirsty earth
one of these days, providing, of course.
the brewers have not allowed the stuff
to 'evaporate" in the meantime.

| 1t appears that Judge Ruppcnthal,
| the youthful jUrist who now presides
over the district court in the district
running from Russell county west to
the Colorado line, is displaying some of
the characteristics of a Solomon in his
judgments. He is evidently aiming at
reforming wrong-doers instead of i'm
posing pnnishments that are revenge
full rather than reformatory in their
nature.
1t is related that a Cove county
citizen, VINO was somewhat given to
drinking and who was inclined to be
querrelsome when drunk. made too
free use of a knife during a quarrel
some time long ago, as a result of
which he recently found himself on
trial in the district court for assault
He was found guilty and mere is the
sentence the court imposed on him:
Imprisonment for one wear in the
county jail and to pay a fine of $500
and costs.
To give a bond of $500 to keep the
peace for two years.
To give a bond of 81 200 to abstain
from the use of liquor and to keep
away from all places where liquor is
sold or given away.
Upon the execution of the bonds and

defendant was paroled from the jail
