WILL BE RUSH TO DAKOTA.
Predicted that Immigration viii Be
Largest Ever Known.

IATpeSL Ever hHOWH.
Indications all point to a large food
Of immigration into South Dakota this
year. greater than ever before in the
history Of the state. Real estate men
in every section are preparing to do a
business which will transcend any VOL
ume of similar business ever done in
a western state. They base this upon
reports received from the head Of
fees Of railroads doing business in the
state and from the unusual number
of land seekers inquiries received.
The tide of immigration will not be
confined to any one particular section,
but will extend to every point and on
both sides Of the river. Doane Rob-
inson, of the State Historical society,
predicts that the South Dakota immi-
grafton will be so great as to tax the
carrying capacities Of the railroads.
The unusual interest apparently
manifested in South Dakota Is proba-
bly, due to the large amount of rail-
road building that has been going on
in the state during the past year, and
will be completed this year.
The Chamberlain-R Rapid City extern
sion of the Milwaukee, the proposed
Pierre-Rapid City extension of the
Northwestern, the trans-continental
line Of the Milwaukee, the $50 miles
building by the Minneapolis and st.
Louis, and many other railroad activi-
ties, will result in an immense
amount of missionary work on the
part Of the railroads in bringing set
tiers in.

SAYS CZ.AR WILL ABDICaTI1.
London Paper Has Surprising Story
from Russia.

h<Cht4oh assE lASs BA AoLhs, ctoa
from Russia.
The London Mirror claims to be IN
position to announce on the highest
authority that the emperor of Russia
proposes to abdicate within a month
and that Grand Duke Michael will be
appointed regent during the infancy
of the czarevitch. For the past three
or four weeks, the paper says. events
In this direction have been proceeding
with lightning rapidity in st. Peters
burg, but the secret has been well
kept.
Lately" says the paper, "the en-
peror's mind has given way even more
completely and he has shown himself
incapable of performing the smallest
duties of his rank"
The lower house of parliament Is to
be abolished. and there will be formed
military dictatorship with the object
of stamping out revolution and putting
an end to anarchy i'm Russia. The pa
per declares further that a marriage
has been arranged between Grand
Michael and Princess Victoria Of
Schleswig- Holstein, and that the visit
Of the dowager empress of Russia was
chiefly for the purpose of negotiating
this marriage.

MISSING MAN NOT FOUND.
Beadle County Man Supposed to BE
Drowned

Search for the body of William
Cloeter, supposed to have been drown
ed in Norwegian lake, in the west part
Of Beadle county, nearly two weeks
ago, has so far been without results.
The young man left home Sunday
morning, March "a, to shoot ducks in
Norwegian lake, and the only trace Of
him since that time was the finding of
his gun and boat, the bottom of the
latter being broken out. There was
one empty shot in the gun and it is
thought that Cloeter was accidentally
shot and fell from the boat into the
water.

Policeman shoots Insane Man.

Emil Passanen, who was recently
released from northern Ohio insane
asylum, after threatening to kill his
family at Chadron. barricaded himself
in his house and armed with an ak,
and knife, defied the authorities to
capture him. An officer finally broke
through a window and Passanen
sprang at him. The officer fired bull
let into Passanen's body, and the lat.
ter will probably die.

Record OF the Clubs,

The Colts and Tobacconists yesterday
took rest, which was welcome one
10 the hard-worked Danville pitchers
and to all the players of both teams,
worn out by double-headers and travel.
The heavy rainfall in the early after
noon soaked the grounds so that the
diamond had pools of water standing
on IL. and though a number OF people
went out TO the park In the hope that
n game would be played 1t was deem
ed best to declare the game OF.
As result OF the layoff yesterday
two games Will be played this after
noon for one admission. the first be-
second as soon after the completion of
the first as possible. The visitors hav-
ing taken the first two games, the
Colts Will put UP strenuous light for
the other three TO day and tomorrow.
and are hopeful OF winning them all.
AS Richmond has won just 30 per
cent. of Its games, defeat to-day
would put them below the even mark,
and vigorous effort will be made to
keep as near the front of the procession
as possible. though there is hardly a
hope now OF landing the pennant Only
phenomenal run of victories would
put them In the fight again. and even
then a great slump by Norfolk and
Danville would be necessary. and
Lynchburg must also be reckoned with,
Manager Reeve last night announced
that Rcvellc would make his Rich
mond bow in one OF the. games to-day;
trhe smiling Portsmouth lad has all

control. and never pitched in finer form
than In his recent games. He has won
she two games he has pitched since
joining tho Colts, and Is expected to
land one to-day. In the other game
Saive or Cassidy Will probably be
worked. The young left-hander has
been pitching great ball recently and

that he is in fine condition now, and
