Special to The Herald.
TELLURIDE, Colo, July 22.-Andy
Rotunno, an Italian, was today taken,
by United States Marshal John Clark,
to Redvale to appear before the Unit
ed States commissioner on the charges
of having sent black hand and OBJ
scene letters through the mail and of
being white SLAYER.
Rotunno came here about six
months ago from Wisconsin and
brought with him pretty and young
Italian woman whom he had succeeded
in enticing away from her husband.
Upon their arrival here he put her in
one Of the resorts of the city and in
sisted upon her earning money and
providing him with funds. The wom-
an was inclined to object to the propo-
sition but he terrorized her into COR
senting and for time she passed
over to Rotunno the wages earned by
life of shame. Some time ago she
grew tired Of the partnership and re-
fused to give him any more money
and he began to send her, daily
threatening and most obscene letters
She, on the advice Of friend, turned
these letters over to the postal au-
thorities with the result that Rotunnc
will probably serve term in the state
prison. The woman is still here but
announces that she will return to hel
husband II he will take her back.

for Alaska's Progress
Western Press.

Western Press.
NEW YORK, July 22-Theodore
Roosevelt has an article on the devel-
opment of Alaska in today's issue of
the Outlook. He declares that two
factors are responsible for retarding
the progress Of that country.
First, "Great capitalists who wish
t, develop Alaska by making enor-
nous fortunes for themselves out
side of and in defiance of law.
Second, Congressman who, under
the pretense of hostility to corpora
tions, decline to permit the passage of
Legislation which will enable them to
do their work honestly and to de-
velop the coal fields with fair profit
to themselves while doing justice to
others"

Fl. LEWIS
GETS MONEY
Status of Appropriation ior 1T. Lewis
Finally Settled-Opens Oct.

That the Fort Lewis school will be-
date set for the opening of the school,
which is Oct. 2, is now finally settled
and the matter of the state appropri-
alton has been adjusted.
Mr.. l.. C. Jakway last evening re-
ceived a telegram from President
Charles A. Lory and Chairman A. A.
Edwards of the state agricultural col
lege, notifying him that the state off
cials, in a conference held on yester-
day, had agreed upon the status of the
appropriation Of 100000 which had
been made for the school and that
the necessary money to repair and
equip the buildings and institute the
school would be Forthcoming.
The telegram states that while the
board will find it necessary to modify
to some extent the plans they had
made that the work of fitting up the
buildings would begin not later than
Aug. l and would be pushed to COM
pletion.
At the conference between the coun-
ty superintendents of the Montezuma
valley normal district and W. b. Moo
ney, representative of the Colorado
state normal, which was held at Mrs.
Pulford's office yesterday, plans were
perfected to hold the next normal
institute at Fort Lewis.
The new law which goes into effect
Aug. reduced the number of normal
districts in the state from thirteen
to six and increased the term of the
institute from two to six weeks.
In view Of the fact that
the law requires teachers to
be examined in horticulture and agri,
culture Fort Lewis seemed to be the
most suitable place for the teachers
of La Plata, San Juan, Montezuma,
Archuleta, Dolores and San Miguel
counties to meet. This institution will
have the necessary equipment to best
present these subjects and will be able
to command many excellent instrue-
tors. Board will be furnished at a
very reasonable rate. As teachers
may attend any normal institute they
elect the executive committee believe
that by specializing on these subjects
they will draw large numbers from
other districts.
On account of lack of funds no ad-
ditional normals will be held in this
district this year.
Mrs. Pulford was elected to confer
with representatives of the state nor
NAL at the time of the state asso-
citation and prepare tentative course
of study for next years work. This
course will, before adoption, be sub
mitted to all county superintendent of
the district, for suggestions.
The officers elected for the. Monte
yuma valley district are: Mrs. Pull
ford, president; Mrs. Harwood, secre-
tary, and Mrs, Durward, treasurer.
The new law which requires special
training for all teachers created con-
siderable CONSERVATION among mem
bers of that profession when it was
first announced, but it seems it will so
adjust itself and no hardship will be
worked upon any one.
With reference to the Interpretation
of the law the following statement is
sent out from the state superintend-
ent's office, 'Such questions as the re-
newal of first grade certificates, what
shall be accepted as high school ex-
perience and what shall be taken as
professional training, etc, are yet un-
settled questions and must be left to
the judgment of the county superin-
tendent."

from Denver. The Denver weather
bureau is promoting the same styles
of climate as the local office, and
rain, nimbus clouds, and mud have
been worn almost constantly for sew

weather bureaus do not produce some
thing new in their line before long
long there is danger that rain and
mud will become quite common.

new Law WORKS
MANY HARDSHIPS
PROHIBITION AGAINST DRINKING
ON TRAINS, SPLENDID THING
I'M STOPPING RoWpYlsM, BUT
WORKS AGAINST INNOCENT
STRANGERS.

Thomas Mckay, a respectable ap-
pearing elderly man. was before JUS
tfce Torson. this morning, charged by
the conductor of the west bound n. p
train, yesterday morning, with drink
ing on the train, In violation OF the
recently enacted law in Minnesota
The defendant frankly admitted TAX
ing a drink Of whiskey from a small
flask
He was wholly unaware that he was
breaking any law. He stated that ne
was not intoxicated, nor was he dis
turbing the peace in any manner
whatever. He was on his way to Cas-
selton, ". D., to assist friend in
harvesting his grain. He claimed he
drank more as a medicine than as
beverage
The court had no alternative but to
impose the minimum penalty, fine
of $25 or in default thirty days In jail.
After a talk with the defendant and
learning of his antecedents, Mr.. Torson
felt disposed to release Mr.. Mckay,
who was unable to pay the fine, under
a suspended sentence, and this prob
ably will be done.
Several railroad men, who were in
the court, and Justices Torson and
Wade said that while the new law was
a good law In it's way, in the proven
ton of disorderly conduct on the train,
often caused by the rowdy element, 1t
had become demonstrated that 1T was
working a hardship among strangers
and others who were absolutely tg-
norant Of the existence Of such law
in Minnesota and the opinion was ex-
pressed that the railroad company
ought to protect it's better class OF
passengers by posting notices on the
trains calling the attention Of passen-
gers to the stringency of the new law,
which is only applicable to passengers
on trains.
An instance was related. where a
man and his wife were considerably
Inundated on a train only very few
days ago. They we're partaking Of a
lunch which they were carrying and 1t
included a supply Of cold coffee in a
black bottle and seeing them drinking,
out OF a bottle, an over officious porter
told them that they would be arrested
when the train reached Moorhead.
Later the conductor was appealed to
and the trouble was Strengthened out.

liverpool, July 27.--Our Argentine
agent estimates wheat shipments:
This week 100000; last week 1,400,-
900: last year 1872, 900. Corn this
week nil; last week nil: last year g.
ys70 900. The recent rains in the north
ha.ve been insufficient for the growing
wheat crop. The American cables
were steady and these together with
the ffrrnness in Buenos Ayres caused
the market to open here steady and
~ to Y higher with December rs
hover. Following the opening dullness
characterized the trading but the I'M
dertone became easier and later de-
clfned n to q with the principal pres
sure I'm October. Consols showed more
ffrmness and the feeling here is less
fapprehensfve regarding the Morocco
duestion. There Is a quiet demand for
both parcels and cargoes with more
favorable outlook in India for rain. At
1880 o. m. the market was dull but
easter with July u higher and other
wise u to Y lower than yesterday.
Corn was neglected and unchanged.
american parcels were offered slight
Nv lower. Our Buenos Ayres agent
cables that there is a generally better
feeling among holders with spectators
buying on the less favorable out look
IN the north as a result of continued
1dryness. This was shown in the sharp
advance yesterday In wheat. Corn re-
mains strong with light offers.

MITCHELL REFUSED
TO PAY WARRANTS
CITY TREASURER YESTERDAY
REFUSED TO PAY WARRANTS
FOR PURCHASE OF LOTS IN
SOUTH PARK ORDERED BY THE
COUNCIL AT LAST MEETING. :.

@. H. Mitchell, city treasurer of
Fargo, yesterday afternoon refused to
pay some warrants issued by the city
for the payment Of lots 6, 7, 8, and
8 in South Park addition, which were
ordered purchased at the last session
of the city council Monday night.
These lots were ordered purchased
by the council on the recommendation
Of the finance committee, of which A.
w. Cupler is chairman, and it is I'M
derstood, are to be used for the site
Of the new city filtration plant and
added to that ground which was pre-
viously purchased for that purpose.
The treasurers contention Is that
he cannot act in this manner while
there is an injunction suit pending
against the city, regarding the Ultra
ton plant in particular. He says that
notice has been served on him by the
courts that such a suit is pending and
that he cannot pay any bills pertain
ing to 1t until he has obtained some
legal advice from the city attorney.
City Treasurer Mitchell stated to a
Forum representative this morning
that he had asked City Attorney Shure
for his opinion in the matter so as
to relieve him of any responsibility
in the matter. An effort was made to
interview the city attorney at the noon
hour, but he was engaged actively
with other pressing business at that
time and could not be reached.
The amount of the warrants called
for was $3.50, which was ordered paid
by the council on the recommendation
Of the finance committee and on the
motion of Mr.. Cupler.
1t Is understood that there are other
reasons which enter into the situation,
which might be brought out later
When asked about these matters, Mr.
Mitchell stated that he had NOTHING
to say just now. Other city officials
who were interviewed on the question
this afternoon, asked not to be quot
ed just now, but stated that probably
statement might be issued later in
the week.
