A Samson Stunt.

Marking, Jan. 20.-The foremost Of
republicans here declared today their
belief that the Manchus and younger
imperial princes are determined to
bring China to ruin and dismember-

a prisoner in Peking, and poses as the
champion Of the Manchus in order to
savc his own life. He still urges a
monarchy. according to advices re-
ceived here, though Tang Shao Via,
his closest friend. asserts Yuan really

CALL INDIAN GIRL A WITCH
Pretty Lola Razon, Who Wants to Be
Teacher, Tried Magic at an
Entertainment,

Ogdensburg, N Y.--Great has been
the excitement in the little Indian vii
lage of St. Regis, near here, where
the people have been living in dread
of Lola Razon, a native girl of fifteen,
who is believed to possess an evil eye.
The Indians declare that Lola is q
black witch and that wherever she ap-
pears children get sick, dogs go mad.
animals die and peoples lives are
made miserable: Medicine men have
been unable to drive out the evil
spirit.
The squaws told their children to
avoid the witch girl and warnings
were given out not to let her shadow
fall on any member Of the tribe, nor
their live stock.
The chiefs finally decided that the
girl must leave the tribe at once and
she has gone to Luzerne mountain,
where she has an uncle.
Lola is described as a bright, pref
ty girl, who cherishes the ambition of
becoming a teacher of her tribe. It
is believed that few clever tricks
performed by her at a school enter
tainment aroused feeling against her
which ended in her being banished.

RAIN AIDS CROPS
Two Inches of Precipitation Is Regis
tered.

Fargo-North Dakota has been ex-
periencing some more rainy weather.
More than two inches of rain fell over
the Red River valley and still more
is looked for Harvesting and uhresh-
ing operations will probably not be
resumed this week. Meanwhile,
thousands of men in all sections of
the state are idle.
The storm conditions prevailed
throughout North Dakota, tempera-
lures dropped and hail was reported
in several places. The storm, accom-
panied by heavy rains and, in some
sections, by hail, struck the slope
country Wednesday, night. At Stark
weather. in the northwestern corner
of the state, heavy hail was reported
and considerable damage was done.
Running south and east, the storm
swept the state. High wind and con-
siderable hail accompanied the storm
In the western part of the state. All
telephone and some telegraph wires
were down and for a time it was inn
possible to obtain accurate informa.
ton concerning the extent of the dam
age. Hail was reported at Comstock,

damage is confined to small terri.

General crop conditions in the Red
River valley have been improved by
the downpour of rain, crop experts
say. Potatoes and corn needed mois.
ture badly.
The statewide situation has not
been improved by the rain, however.
for the acreage of potatoes the state
over is exceedingly small Only very
limited amount of spring wheat has
been harvested. Considerable barley
is in shock, as we'll as rye. The rains
have been so heavy it is feared the
grain will be badly lodged. The storm

heavy, indeed.

Concerning the Eel Family.

There Is the broad nose eel, and
then again there is the sharp nose
eel. The great difference between
these two varieties is that the broad
nosed eel is the male and the sharp
nosed eel is the female, both being
really of one and the same family.
When summer comes young eels by
the millions shoot from midocean to
shore and wriggle up our rivers. Out
at sea young cells are as clear as glass
and as thin as ribbon. They are about
four inches long, with little head.
The young eel seems not to eat at
sea, and only loses it's CLASSY look and
becomes colored as it gets to shore
within reach of q river.
