TOLSTOI'S DIRE
PROPHESY TO CZAR:
ARTICLE REPORTED AS FAMOUS
WRITER'S MENACE ATTRACTS
WORLD WIDE ATTENTION I

Countess Nastasia Tolstoi, grand
niece of the famous writer, County
Tolstoi, had an article in last Sundays
Chicago Herald that is attracting in
ternational attention. If true, it is
most remarkable prophecy. The ar
ticle is as follows: ... .....
In the autumn of 1910 the czarina
invited me to visit her at the summer
palace at Peterhof to have an informal
talk with her family. This was a very
unusual favor, and, feeling much fiat
tered, arrived at the appointed hour
at the railway station that served the
picturesque summer resort. A spe-
cial coach took me directly to the pal
ace, where the chamberlain's secre-
tary told me that the imperial family
was on the veranda drinking tea. It
was there that the czarina wished to
receive me.
Her majesty was still suffering
from her long nervous breakdown,
and she looked pale and weak. We
talked for short time about her
health, and exchanged items of court
gossip. She then remarked conf
dently that the car had expressed a
WISH TO see HE, anu u COuESc SuCu al
expression was a demand. His mai
esty was playing chess with his
daughters and their governess when
the czarina invited him to tell me
what he wanted.
Mission From the Car
"Countless," began the car, in a
simple and direct way, II have a very
peculiar, confidential mission for you.
But call upon you reluctantly"
He became suddenly silent and look
ed at me as if doubling my readiness
to serve him. bowed politely, MUIR
muring:
"Your majesty, I shall be only too
happy to hear about it."
"Well," he drawled, "the German
kaiser and the kind of England have
put me in an unpleasant position with
their requests. They are curious to
get direct message from our old
count, Leo Nicolaevitch Tolstoi, and
very strange note-and naturally I
could not decline to humor them.
did not know how to go about the deli
cate matter, as. frankly, I do not care
for much of the old mans writings
and preachings, as you know.

she knows you very we'll, and that you
know him well-1 would be greatly

NEW EVIDENCE
MURDER CASE
NAME PLATES FOUND IN CLOTH.
ING OF MAN FOUND AT MES.
SON-SAY NOT SAXSE

New evidence was discovered some
time ago in regard to the murdered
man found at Nesson which leads to
the belief that the man was not Saxse
as reported but another. The cloth
ing Of the murdered man was placed
in formaldehyde solution when
brought to Williston and when Grover
johnson, under the direction Of Coro-
ner Distad proceeded to clean the
overalls, wringing them out after tax
ing them out Of the solution he felt
something hard inside of the lining
Just about where the watch pocket
would be. Johnson called the coro-
ner's attention to this and upon OPEN
ing up the lining two small aluminium
name plates were found about the size
of q half dollar. On the name plates
was engraved Carl Radintz and
street address in Minneapolis.
The authorities proceeded at once
to get in touch with the people living
at the address given but they had
moved and it took some time to locate
them. They were later located and
last week two ladies, Lena and Ida
Radintz and Herman Ramm arrived
in the city. They claimed to be sis
tiers and q brother-in-law Of the MUIR
dered man and described his head and
the condition Of his teeth. They also
stated that their brother had scars or
marks on his front teeth caused by
habit he had Of grinding them and
upon examining the teeth these marks
were found. This examination was
easily made as the coroner had kept
the skull here to be used in evidence.
The sisters stated that there were
five girls and the one boy in the fam
lily. That their brother left last year
for the west but that they had urged
him not to go. He said he wanted to
see little Of the world but that he
would take these two name plates and
keep about him where they could not
be lost. They said there were three
of the name plates and that they had
the third one at home.
Their brother came west and last
fall was in Mondak. He had been
working for Guthrie & Co., but was
in Mondak doctoring with DR.. Drake
for blood poisoning in the left hand.
The sisters said they wrote asking
him to come home but he replied that
he was broke. They sent him draft
for $50 which came back indorsed
but they never heard anything more
from their brother. ...... .+
Doctor Drake when asked said he
remembered a man being there and
being treated for blood poisoning.
The brother-in-law when shown
where the name tags were fastened
showed the coroner that he had one

STRENGTH TRIPLE
ENTENTE BEST
SERVICE BACHERS SUPERIOR IN
= STRENGTH TO ALLIES OF
AUSTRIA

When the Austro- Hungarian empire
declared war against little Servia and
the tramp of it's immense army re-
sounded on its march of invasion, it
-meant the actual hurting of nation
of more than 51,000,000 inhabitants
against one of scant 1000, ,OOO-
numerical odds of nearly IL to l.
But Austria's declaration has its
dread significance in the fact that it
may embroil all the nations of Europe
into one vast warfare for the major
ity of people believe that before the
Austro-Servian war goes far the Brit
tish empire, the German empire, Rus
sia, France and Italy must all join in
out of self-protection. Should this
belief be justified 795,000,000 people
, will be at war-a contest on scale
THE world has never before in its his
tory knoWn-a war so vast as to be
beyond the imagination.
The British empire itself, according
to the latest reliable statistics, has the
vast population of 435,O00,o0o,, al
though only $4,000 900 persons live in
the United Kingdom England, Ire
land and Scotland. Russia has a
population of 166, 200, 900, and France,
according to her latest census, can
count SO, 1901 500.
Entente Outnumbers Alliance
England, Russia and France to-
gether from the triple entente, and if
Russia takes hand in the Austrian
Servian war and should she thereby
involve her allies of the triple en-
tente the three members of it, to-
,gether with their 641, 100000 of pop
ulation, would far outnumber the
three members Of the triple arriance,
Austria-Hungary, the German empire
and Italy, who in such a war would
be opposed to them, and whose aggre-
gate population is 150,966,361: The
population of the members Of the tri-
pie entente is, therefore, four times
that Of the members of the triple al
lance.
The population of the German en-
pire is 64,925, 1898, of Austro- Hungary
51.340,37s and of Italy is 34,700,000.
In area the preponderance is even
more striking in favor O the trople
entente. The area of the British en-
pire is 13,123.712 square miles, but Of
this vast mileage the United King
dom occupies only 12o,953 square
miles; the Russian domain covers
