cablegram telling him that his mother
had died and had left him $1,000, 900
and that it would be advisable for
him 20 return TO America at once.
On the outward voyage young Villas
attracted no more attention than any
other II year old boy. Coming home
however, it was different and, as he
said yesterday. TT didn't seem like the
same old ship
On the outward voyage young Villas,
with the precocity that goes with II
years, found his efforts to be grown

Run along, little boy" and he once
overheard a fellow passenger refer to
him as a fresh kid"
Coming home, however things were
changed. Perhaps because he had lost
his mother. He was welcome every

with him. There was plenty of room
for him in the smoking room and If

which has resulted within the last two
days in the arrest of several CO.
conspirators In this city and elsewhere,

The conspirators appeared to have
extended their operations to the states
Of Vera Cruz, Hidalgo. Coahuila, San

lisco, Guanajuato, Yucatan and Zacat-
ecas. To the authorities in these dis
tricts orders have been sent to put

DEATH LEAVES MYSTERY
Man Found Unconscious on Tracks
Near Mankato is Dead.

Joseph Wheeler, Webster City,
Ia, who was shot and found uncon-
scious along the railroad tracks near
Mankato, is dead. He did not regain
consciousness. The police believe a
woman did the shooting and are look
ing for one who left the city excitedIy
on the train at the time Wheeler was
found. The murdered man leaves a
wife and two daughters. The motive,
it is said, must have been robbery.
Wheeler had just left Clarion, Iowa,
where he did a profitable business,
according to letter that his wife had
received from hin. He was going to
his home at Webster City with the
profits of his work, when he enconn-
tered his Webster City friends coming
to Minnesota to make the Southern
Minnesota circuit at fairs, and with
out going home, he placed his cooking
outfit in one of the horse cars and
came on to make the circuit. 1t was
at this jundure that he met with his
mishap. t seems probable that he
must have had q roll of bills in his
pocket when he came to Mankato, and

State Oil Inspector receives a salary

each county receive from $50 and up

there connected with the performance
of their high official duties? Just in

easily this little pocket money is
made on the side. The Standard Oil
Company does not pay these salaries
directly, but the consumers do so in

thereby let Rockefeller add a little

Yakima Indian Reservation not
to be Opened.

A telegram from Washington, D. G:
says:
Fraudulent advertising of the alleged
opening of ] 900, 900 acres of irrigated
land in the Y akima Indian reservation
is denounced in the following warning
statement by the Interior Department
under the caption:
''Homeseekers, BeWare"
"What is probably an organized
band of sWindlers, posing as real
estate men, has been operating
throughout the country. advertising
in the leading papers the opening OF
more than l 100000 acres of govern.
ment land in the Yakima Indian
reservation in Washington.
s'They make the statement that the
reclamation service has practically
surveyed all the reservation with a
view of placing the land under water
at the earliest possible date that water
can be put upon the land for about
$50 an acre and that the bringing of
water to the land will create 1000 new
homes.
They are sending out pictures OF
grain fields and orchards, stating that
these views are lands in the same sec
ton as the reserv alton, and comparing
the lands included in the alleged open
ing to the famous Mob Hill region
near North Y Yakima, where apple and
other fruit culture has attained high
degree of perfection.
The facts are that the government
does not contemplate any opening on
the Yakima reservation at this time
and perhaps not for some time. There
I is nothing like 1000, 900 acres to be
opened and none of the land to be
opened to entry is likely to be irrigable
or suited for any purpose whatever
except grazing.
tit is not probable that there is a
quarter section on the reservation out.

Oil and Gasoline Inspection Con-
sidered Fake.

Considerable compl amt has recently
been made by merchants and other
users OF gasoline in this city to the
effect that the article sold here is UNI
fit for use. It smokes. blackens up
the rooms and clogs up the apparatus
IN which it is used. Gasoline stoves
are constantly out Of working order
and one firm dealing in that eommo-
dity makes the charge that unless
better gasoline is sold here, it is use
less to sell such stoves on account Of
the poor gasoline, parties are obliged
to use.

Sen. NELSON ACCUSED OF PARTl.
SANSHIP
Said to Have Made Bad Blunders,

That Sen. Knute Nelson has made
bad political blunder in playing the
part he has as chairman of the Bal
linger congressional committee is the
verdict of politicians, both friends
and enemies in the Twin Cities.
Sen. Nelson has been suspected by
the people at home'' all along of
being Ballinger partisan, but not
before recently has the fact been
brought to their attention in such pos
tive form.
Already talk OF opposition to his
reelection to the senate two years
hence is heard, although the opposi-
ton as yet has not taken concrete
form.
I 1t is admitted that Sen. Nelson's
first mistake was in calling meeting
of the committee in his own state at a
time when the Ballinger-Pinchot con-
troversy was being made live issue
by the meeting of the National Con-
servation congress.
The second mistake was in not maxi
ing sure that every member of the
Republican majority was present.
The third mistake is in inconsistent
and partisan rulings as chairman of
the committee.
Sen. Nelson's statement some time
ago that, in view of the lack of a
quorum, he was almost inclined to
rule that he could entertain no motion
except to adjourn or compel the atten-
dance of absentees, and his ruling
that he could not entertain a motion
to name sergeant- alarms to arrest
absentees. are pointed to as evidence
OF how far he is willing to go to play
politics with the pro- Ballinger fac
tion.
Attention is also called to his arbi-
trary Adjournment Of the committee to
Chicago, an act, it is alleged, entirely
hey ond his power under the resolution
under which the committee is acting.
The midnight train going west,
Monday night, was stalled at Cam
bria for about an hour and a half.
When it pulled into Cambria, one Of
the plates on the side of the engine
was missing and the boiler was leak
ing which put out the fro. The station
agent at Cambria telegrarhed to this
atty for another engine which arrived
shortly afterward.
