At late hour they held out no.hope
for his recovery. ..A r. - n
Il Whatever motives n prompted the
deed may never be known, for young
Russell alone appears to keep that,
secret locked in his breast. The agri-
cultural authorities say that he has
always been Albright student and has
made good showings, but never ap-
piled himself so closely to his studies
as to wreck his nervous system. They
together with his schoolmates and
neighbors at Buchanan, declare him,
to have always been p young man Of
exemplary habits Only several days
ago he told his professors that he
planned to return to college next year
and register in the full course.
His father at Buchanan was notified
this morning. 1t is probable that the
news of the tragedy will be kept from
his mother until the worst fears Of the
boys friends are realized or until he
is safe. She is visiting friends in
Iowa.

The Mississippian member made a
move toward Mr.. Fordney and was in
the act of removing his coat when
some of his Democratic colleagues
took hold of him. Later it developed
that the incident grew out of mis-
understanding and both men made
mutual explanations and apoligized.
Mr. Fordney made notable speech
on the subject of lumber and pleaded
for better protection on that product
in the rough. Dramatically opposed
to him was Mr.. Rowland of Ohio, who
wanted the product placed on the free
list.

North Carolina and Macon of Arkan-

Payne bill for not accomplishing what
it was claimed it would do, while Mr.,

a tariff on shingles and lumber suf-
ficiently high to enable the lumber
and shingle manufacturers Of his
state to compete with those of British
Columbia, employing cheap Oriental
labor.

alert mentally, free, so far as is
known, from the embarrassments and
vexations that PREF upon mems minds
and drive them to take their own
lives. young Russell, unconscious on
the brink of eternity, can throw no
light ON the mystery.
The boy, who had just completed
his third winter short course at the
agricultural college, was making prep
erations to- leave tomorrow morning
for the home of his father, S. R. Rus
sell, a farmer at Buchanan, N. D. He
was in the best of spirits yesterday.
Last night he told Mrs. A. Johnson, at
whose house he has boarded for the
past three winters, that he was to
meet his father in Fargo this morning
and was to get some money. When
he arose this morning, says Mrs. John
son, he declined her invitation to eat
breakfast and paced the floor of his
room. This was the only hint Mrs.
Johnson received that he was troubled
and it did not occur to her until after
the boy had sought his life. Later in
the morning he made his appearance
and then gave no evidence that he
was troubled in any way. His father,
he said, had failed to arrive.
Mrs. Johnson, about $50 o'clock,
left the house to go to a nearby
butcher shop. She returned ten min
utes later. As she was. entering the
yard she heard three reports follow
each other in rapid succession. She
ran into the house and, smelling
smoke, believed there was fire..
Rushing into young Russelrs room
she saw the boy lying on the floor,
blood streaming from his head and
a revolver near his outstretched
hand. Almost at the same moment,
w. H. Juno, who lives across the
street and who heard the shots as
he was leaving his house, rushed in.
Another neighbor notified police head
quarters and telephoned for physi-
clans.
DR.. Callander was the first physi-
clan to arrive on the scene, being fol-
lowed in a few minutes by DR.. Sork-
ness and Police Sergeant Coleman.
The physicians at once set to work
on the unconscious boy. OF the three
bullets, one they found, had entered
his head through the right ear, an
other back of the right eye and the
third had ploughed through the scalp
above his forehead. He was removed
to st. Johns hospital at 1880 o'clock.

lapland Reindeors.

In April the Lapp let's his reindeer
loose to wander as they please, and
when the mosquitoes begin to abound,
about midsummer, he collects his herd
simply by catching one deer, fitting it
with a bell and trusting to instinct,
which leads the animals to gather into
herds for protection against the mos
quitoes, to do the rest. In cool sum-
mer, when mosquitoes are few, this
instinct does not come into play, and
It is almost impossible to bring tho
reindeer together.

ORVILLE WRIGHT MAKES
SUCCESSFUL SPEED TEST

Washington, July A.-In two short
flights in the Wright aeroplane late to-
day at Fort Myer, Va, orville Wright
closely approached the worlds aeroplane
speed record, attaining an average We
locity of 54a miles an hour, as COM
puted by Wilbur Wright, who held the
stop watch on the machine for half
dozen rounds of the course.
On the first flight the air craft re-
manned aloft only one minute and 80 sec
onds, the aviator being forced to de-
scend by losing a cog wheel on the mag
neto after making his second round of
the course. On his second flight, after
the cog had been replaced, the aeroplane
swiftly circled a dozen times around the
course, which is fve-sixth of mile in
circumference. Certain changes in the
gearing of the motor and propelers which
were intended to give the machine high
er speed had been effected earlier.
The Wright brothers had decided to
give this speed change only ten-minute
trial today and the aviator brought the
aeroplane to the earth after ten minutes
and 56 seconds In the air.
Attracted by the promise of good
flight an even larger crowd than yesterday

Dickinson. Secretary of State Knox, the

Omaha, Neb., July H.-The cars In the

Gil Bluffs, Ia, early this afternoon after
the fastest run to date. Several of the
cars hit a rate of 70 miles an hour over
the good roads. which in many places had
been prepared by farmers. There was
only one bad stretch of road and the
tourists detoured 20 miles to avoid this
> The running time for the day was 8
hours 4S minutes, but every car except
one-Jewel No. 10-arrived ahead of time.
There were many penalties attached, the
reason being the extra fast running done.
As much as Is points were dealt out
against three cars.
The first dissension In the board of con-
troll arose today over penalties and 1t is
stated that Secretary Ferguson threatened
to return home tomorrow.

ton by 2:30 p. m. From that time on
they came at rapid intervals. Studebaker

when 1t ran into the mire and had to be
pulled out. Tomorrow's run will take the
tourists to Kearney. Neb., a distance of

TEN PERSONS LOSE LIVES
IN GALVESTON STORM

Galveston, July 21.-Ten dead is the total
number of lives lost so far as is known
in the hurricane which swept over the
Gulf of Mexico and struck Galveston
this morning and continued until after
midday. While the city of Galveston was
held safe against the fury of the storm
by the new government 100000 sea wall,
far out in the gulf on Tarpon fishing pier,
seven miles from the city, where the
storm whipped over the jetty into the
bay, 10 persons were washed from the
rocky promontories in the gulf. Boats to-
night are searching the bay for the bodies,
but so far have been unsuccessful. Those
drowned were members of a fishing party
and the employees of the Tarpon pier,
marooned on the jetty. Boats were sent
to their assistance late today and 1t was
learned that the house In which they
had sought refuge had been washed away.
While 1t is impossible to get an accurate
list of the dead, owing to fhe fact that

More Paving for Huntsville.

Huntsville, July Especial 1.-The city
council showed last night that the paving
of streets is to continue until many more
of the principal streets are covered with
some character of material. After adopt
ing resolution providing that one-third
of the expense of paving the streets be
borne by the city government, the Madi-
son street paving ordinance was con-
firmed and the Holmes street paving ordi-
nance passed on its first reading. The
first ordinance provides for about three
quarters of a mile Of paving and the
second for about mile, running from
the eastern to the western part of the
city. These two measures filled the hearts
of the automobilists with delight. but
the next one on the calendar was rather
depressing to them. 1t was the Fuller
speed ordinance, limiting the speed of au-
tomobiles to 10 miles per hour and re-
quiring these vehicles to sound their
alarms at every street crossing. The
measure passed with only one dissenting
vote.

LOSS OF BUSINESS
Is CONSIDERABLE

Pittsburg. July 21.-The first annual
report of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing company, issued to
the stockholders since the company
left the hands of the receivers. was
made public today. The report pre-
sents the balance sheet of the COM

a decrease in the surplus account DUR
ing the year of $2,9s2.s61.So. In this
