Boer War Leader Appointed.

Chambering, N. M, April 15.-The
United States government has accepted
Gen. Viljoen, the former Boer leader as
an American citizen and has appointed
him postmaster here. Although this
little Mexican town is on the very out
skirts of civilization, Gen. Viljoen is con-
tented and even happy. Soon after his
arrival in the United States he met a
young lady in st. Louis, and after a
brief courtship they were married. The
veteran soldier is devoted to his young
wife and she to him.
Although General Viljoen is only 3S
his life has been eventful. At eighteen
he Joined in the rush to the gold fields
at Rand; at twenty-one he was Public
Prosecutor for the Boer government: at
twenty-four he was organizer of the
Boer militia and held the rank Of lieu
tenant, and in 1896 when he was mai
he gained renown by nearly annihilating
the men and officers of the Jahieson
raid. For this he was made command
er of all the Boer militia. He was one
of the irreconcilables steadfastly refus-
ing to accept amnesty at the price of
swearing allegiance to the king. A few
faithful followers bound to him by ties
of blood, elected to accompany him into
exile, and together they set sail for
'The Land of the Free" arriving in
New York in December, 1902.

Guilty on 1853 Counts.

Chicago, April 13.-The Standard Oil
Company, of Indiana, which has been
on trial for six weeks before Judge K.
M. Lands, of the United States district
court, tonight was found guilty on l, 46S
counts of receiving rebates from the
Chicago & Alton. railroad on shipments
of oil from Whiting, Indiana, to East
st. Louis, III. There were originally
1908 counts in the indictment, 44O
counts failing on errors.
If the verdict is sustained, the oil
company is liable to maximum fine of
SIS, ,260, 900 as the Elkins law, which the
indictment charged the company vio-
lated, provides fine of 81, ZOO to $50,
600 for each offense. Pending a new
trial, which John S. Miller, chief coun-
sci for the defense, announced would be
made Immediately, no penalty will be
fixed by the.court. Each count related
to carload shipment.
When the case came to trial, the at
torneys for the defense endeavored to
have all the counts in the indictment
thrown out on technicalities, but the
court ordered that each count be taken
up and considered separately, which
was done. The 440 counts in which err
rors were found, were dropped. The
defense then put all its efforts toward
proving that they were unaware of the
fact that the six-cent rate had not been
filed with the interstate commerce COM
mission as provided by the Elkins law.
Evidence was offered by the govern
ment showing that it was the duty of
the company's officers to see whether
the rate was in the hands of the inter
state commerce commission.
The jury was out less than three hours
and reached the verdict on the first bal
lot.

Enormous Appetite.

Paris, April 13.-An American with
an enormous appetite has been puzzling
the proprietor of one of the leading
Paris hotels. The visitor had plenty of
money, which he seemed to spend main
ly on gratifying the demands of his
stomach, whose capacity was truly as
tonishing.
Six slices of ham and six eggs was
his allowance for breakfast, a dozen
outlets with variety of vegetables
represented his lunch, while for dinner
the menu was soup, half chicken, a
large quantity of roast beef, several
dishes of vegetables and fruit and desert
of many kinds.
His gourmandizing was continued at
midnight with supper of ham, tongue
and braised beef in quantities, which,
if he left any, he would return to two or
three times in the night until it was fin
ished.
His valet, a French nobleman with
about as much money as Anna Gould
left Boni, tried hard to keep pace with
his employers appetite, but of course
could not approach his eating powers.
A strange whim of the American was
that the waiter, who was specially tolled
off to attend him, should not remain in
the room a minute after serving him,
but should return the instant he was
ready without being rung for. The in
genious waiter bored hole in the door
so that he could see when the guest was
ready for his services, and the eccentric
gourmand was so struck with the man 8
smartness that he gave him small for
tune as tip.

Judge Crump Will Not Tell.

Richmond, Va, April Following
the resignation of Judge Beverly T.
Crump as chairman and member of the
State Corporation Commission the estate
ment is made today that Commissioners
Stuart and Willard were not aware I'M
til recently that Judge Crump had until
January maintained his official connec-
tion with the American Guild. They
were shown the above statement today
and questioned as to the correctness of
the report. From each came the an
swer: 81 have nothing to say" Meth
er would discuss the matter in any shape
or form.
Judge Crump also was questioned re-
garding the charge, and in addition, was
shown a piece of stationery of the
American Guild, which contains the
names of the officers of the organization
and mentions him as vice-supreme gov
ernor. He was specifically asked how
long he had held the office and when he
resigned.
II am perfectly willing to answer all
questions relating to the official commits
sion, " replied he, "but l must decline
to answer all personal questions"
He said that his resignation from the
commission was due to the fact that he
had found the work hard and exacting;
and that he preferred to renew the
practice of law. He said that members
of his family had for months urged him
to sever his connection with the COM
mission.
In the report which was submitted to
the Commissioner of Insurance Grouse,
of Maryland, after the recent examina-
ton by the Maryland Offices actuary in
the affairs of the American Guild, it is
stated that the salaries of the officers
of the Guild on December 81, 1906. were
as follows: Supreme governor, $1,000;
extra compensation, $1,000; vice-su-
preme governor, salary 81, 500; supreme
secretary, salary 81, 200, extra $500; su-
preme treasurer, 81, 500.

500 Lives Lost In Earthquake.

City of Mexico, April 15.-The Ma
tional Bank of Mexico has received a
telegram saying that five hundred lives
were lost in the destruction of Chilpan-
incingo and Chilapa. The telegram
adds that both both cities were COM
pletely destroyed. In governmental
circles the report is not credited. 1t is
admitted that both cities were leveled
to the ground, but it is not thought that
the death list will even approximate
five hundred, owing to the fact that the
houses are massive affairs, built oi
stone, in order to resist earthquake
shocks.

FIVE DEATHS CHARGED
TO TRAIN WRECKERS
Tracks of Great Northern TampereC
( with, Seven Coaches Being
DESTROYED.

st. Paul, Mimi, April drumming
at speed of forty miles an hour on a
straight track the Great Northern west
bound Oriental Limited, which left here
for Pacific coast points Sunday morning,
was derailed at"1 :15 this morning at
Bartlett, Md. Five persons were
killed and a score or r'more'injured, some
seriously. After the wreck''a gas tank
exploded and the train took fire, seven
passenger coaches being destroyed, the
sleeper and observationscars escaping.
There is said.to.be.some evidence that
the rails had been.tampered with. The
officials of the road say that the track
in this vicinity has been in apparently
first class condition and are unable to
account for the wreck on any other the
ory than that it was a deliberate at
tempt of miscreants to wreck the train.
The dead:
w. B. JONES, mail clerk, Grand
Forks.
FOUR UNIDENTIFIED FOREIGN
ERS, believed to be Greeks.
The wreck occurred on the lines di-
Viding Nelson and Ramsey counties, the
mail car jumping completely over the
engine and landing in Ramsey county,
while the balance of the wrecked train
was burned in Nelson county.
There are many thrilling escapes re-
ported, and acts of individual heroism
on the part of passengers and train
crew who escaped injury are numerous.
