Miss Elkins Annoyed.

WASHINGTON, September 12.-Persons
in Washington whose business and official

been much annoyed by the persistent re-
ports of his daughters engagement to
the duke.
1T is now said that Miss Elkins was
because she feared that there would be
revival of the rumors connecting her
name with that of AbruZzi. She had
planned a trip to Japan and only con-
sented to change the arrangements and
go to Europe when il became necessary
for her mother to take the baths.
There was time several months ago,
1t is said by the friends of the Elkins
family, when Miss Elkins looked with
favor on the attentions of the duke, and
when a prospective title looked attractive
to her, but she has become Disguised with
the notoriety given to the affair and by
the attitude of the royal family in Italy,
and her friends here are of the opinion
that she would not receive the attentions
of the duke with favor were he to renew
his suit

SUIT NOT FAVORED BY SENATOR

The New York Sun today prints the fol-
lowing dispatches from Rome, London
and Washington:
ROME, September 12.-The latest thing
relating to the wedding OF Miss Katherine
Elkins and the Duke of the Abruzzi is a
fiat contraditiOn in the guise of semi
official note of the statement that the
wedding has been arranged The note
says categorically that all the recent re-
ports in regard TO the marriage are with
out foundation.
The Tribuna considers the issue of the
note opportune and WISE but insists that
King Victor Emmanuel. with the consent
OF the entire royal family had approved
the marriage Internationally and without
any restrictions
For this reason todays denial, the pa
per says, means that the Duke of the
Abruzzi has changed his mind and in
tends to devote himself to his favorite
studies
No Princely Rank for Parents.
LONDON, September 1.-THE Elkins-
Abruzzi marriage story is enriched daily
by many details given by alleged trust
worthy but always Anonymous authority.
Following the officia denial that the
wedding will take place the Milan cor
respondent of the Chronicle writes that
the King of Italy has been willing to
bestow on Miss Elkins the rank of
royal princess, thus excluding the NOR
ganatic character of her marriage as
unworthy of his cousins wife. but he is
unable to give princely privileges to Miss
EIkins parents.
This, according to the correspondent,
had been asked as sine qua non by
Senator Elkins before he would consent
to his daughters marriage. As an agree
ment on this point could not be reached
the negotiations were dropped for the Sec
ond time
Another dispatch from Rome says that
although the whole royal family author
lied the duke to marry, he himself de-
cided TO renounce the idea, fearing that
the proud character of his fiancee and the
excessive haughtiness of her parents
would cause him frequent trouble"

Their Third Duel
FRENCH COUNTS FINALLY sue.
CEED IN MAKING EACH
OTHER SMART.

Paris, May 25.-Count Isnael de
Lesseps and Count Just de PoIigny
fought their third duel today, and this
time each received a bullet wound.
At the second exchange de Lesseps'
shot struck the barrel OF de Poligny's
pistol and richotting, caused a flesh
wound in the latters' arm. At the same
moment de Lesseps' fell shot through
the thigh. He was removed to a hos
pital, where its was found that the
ball had just missed the femoraI art
cry. The wound is not mortal.
De Lesseps is a son of Count Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps and an officer of a
cavalary regiment. Some weeks ago
he quarreled with de PoIigny at the
circus and blows were exchanged On
May they met in a formal encounter
with swords in the Pare des Princes,
the scene of today's duel. De Poligny
is lame, and after a round of sword
play, during which neither was in
jured, the seconds called a halt. Sub

Cass County Prisoners.
Cass county has a large quota Of
prisoners. Among the NEST notable are
two "lifers," Kent and Remington.
Inc Forum man had an interesting
and extended conversation with Myron
r. Kent, whose trial here on the charge
OF numbering his wife at Mandan. is
stlll fresh in the minds of hundreds of
Fargoans. He was convicted on the
testimony of Swindenslxy, his alleged
accomplish. Swidensky got a life SEN
tence and later died of tubercula-
trouble. Before he passed away, it is
asserted he informed other prisoners
that Kent was innocent.
There have been some efforts to Sc
cure kent's pardon. The latter is now
90 years old and in comparatively good
health at present, following some years
or serious illness. He has been in pris-
on since his sensational reprieve from
execution in Fargo in 1895. It will be
remembered that after his conviction
he was sentenced to be hanged the
gallows had been erected at the court
house in Fargo and the usual number

Judge Mcconnell before whom the trial
was held became active three days be-

Kent was bookkeeper for years and is
now librarian. He is model prisoner
and very grateful to large number Of
Fargo friends who stood by him loyalty
and his greatest sorrow is the fact that
he has lost trace of his son, a mere
boy at the time of the Morton county
tragedy. He is a kindly old man-and
has hundreds Of friends over the state
who are firmly convinced of his innoc-
ence.

FOREIGN WORK FOR FIFTY
YEARs-oF INTEREST TO WON.
EMS SOCIETIES.

A volume which is Of special inter-
est to Women's Missionary societies
has just been issued by the Macmillan
company as part of the United Study
OF Mission Series, which the Ecume-
ctal Conference of New York has been
issuing since 1900. The present book
is by Helen Barrett Montgomery a.
well known writer and lecturer and a.
woman who by extensive travel has
become thoroughly conversant with
the work OF foreign missions. In
Western Women in Eastern Lands"
Mrs. Montgomery gives in a thorough
~ interesting manner the history of
foreign mission work since the first
woman's board for foreign missions
was organized so years ago.
It traces the development from one
society to forty, from a few thousands
to nearly four millions of contribu-
tons annually and from one mission
airy on the field to an army. The
movement is sketched on the back
ground Of the enlarged activities of
women during the nineteenth century.
The educational movement under Mary
Lyon, anti-slavery, suffrage and tenn
perance are all disposed of as parts
or the movement. Following an ac-
count Of the pioneers In the first chap
Ter comes a sketch Of the evils and
disabilities under which the women
or nom Christian lands suffer. In this
chapter-Ladie's Last-emphasis is not
laid on special incidents of cruelty and
oppression but standard and national
IDEALS are shown to be such as result
ed In tyrannous exactions and limited
opportunities for women. In chapter
three the expanding work begun so
simply as ministry to women and
children is described in series OF
vivid sketches In the women behind
the work, the lives Of typical mission
airy leaders are given in brief biograph-
ical form. DrSwain, Mrs. Butler, Miss
Thoburn and Mrs. Doremus are chosen
as examples of workers in medicine,
phlIanthrophy, education and organic
alton. Chapter five deals with the new
woman Of the Orient. The general
awakening of women is repeatedly
and strikingly set forth, and is illus
trated with a few brief stories OF rem
resentatives women like RambadaI and
Lilavati Singh. The last chapter is
devoted to the problems confronting
the women's missionary societies and
the policies which are in process of
development to solve these problems.

COMPANY REFUSES To PAY

Trouble over the delay In COM

that 1t considers itself damaged to
the extent Of more than $4,000 be.
cause Of the aforesaid delay.
Mr.. Clark, in his letter, sets
forth that Huron street and Water
avenue have been torn up since
July first, and that there has been
no apparent attempt on the part
of the contractors to complete the
work within any reasonable time.
He also delivers a quiet little
roast on the board of public works
when he states that this work, 'if
prosecuted with the right kind of
energy, backed by a little judgment
and consideration and respect for
those who are obliged to submit
to conditions, would have been so
far along by this time that his
company would feel no reluctance
in paying their assessment
promptly.
Under the existing conditions,
however, he declares that his COM
pany most emphatically protests,
and absolutely refuses to pay its
assessment of $420.4O, and as we'll
considers that it has been damaged
to the extent of 5000 per day since

ton magnate. has built a macadam
highway from the north city limits
to the Country club grounds on the
Little Spokane river, costing $780,
900, he proposes to turn over to the
board Of county commissioners. on
the condition that they maintain it
hereafter and grant no street rail-

first reimbursing Graves to the ex-

The highway improved by Graves
leads from the north end of Wall
street to- his ranch and summer
home near the Country club. Graves
was largely instrumental in having
the Country club go to the Little

agreed to build a road at his own
expense. He has made good his
promise and is now ready to turn
the new highway over to the county.
