Warner of the repub lican state committee has found that the Eevised Statutes mix up the law governing notice of the caucuses, and has secured an opinion from Attorney General Young, who holds that to be safel the county committees will have to give notice of thirty-four days from the first publication and twenty-six days by posted notices. Under the old law twenty days was sufficient, and such was probably the intent of the code, but it provides that the county or city committees, "at least twen ty days before the time fixed for the election of delegates,t shall give two weeks' published and at least six days' posted notice of the primaries." Under the attorney general's ruling the publication notice is not complete till the two weeks are up, and twenty day? must elapse after that before the caucuses. This means that the county committees will have to meet very soon and provide the notice, as the first publication of notice for caucuses on June 2 will have to be made prior to April 30. BOARDING HOUSE IS PREY OF FIRE BUG After making fifteen attempts to burn the large frame dwelling, occupied by Mrs. H. M. Mortinson at 726 First avenue S, a desperate firebug nearly ac complish* his desire yesterday after noon, and the building was gutted. It was the fifteenth fire in the house witUH two weeks. Mrs. Mortinson cou duets a boarding house there and told the firemen last night that several timfs phe had discovered the house to be on fire and wa unable to account for it. The fires TI ere usually started in the basement of the fires were extinguished by the department, responding to still alarms, but some of them were easily put out by the servants. Mrs. Mort'n son became frightened last^nijht when she learned that the basement had bean e.i'united with kerosene and that some one h' tued to burn her house and posciViy to take her life. Chief C&nterbury is conducting a rigid investigation today and arrests are expected. TO SHOW PASSION PLAY Rev. J. M. Oleary Will Lecture on Not ed Drama. Next Sunday evening, Palm Sunday, Father J.

Wholesalers Will Be Given Direct Con nection with Magnificent Stretch of Panning Land Which Will Support Vast PopulationLine Will Be First Class in Every Respect. I With the turning of a grazing coun try into a rich farming territory, by the completion of the new western ex tension of the Minneapolis & St. I^ouis road, Minneapolis wholesale merchants and manufacturers will receive a rich heritage. The new line will run 250 miles thru a magnificent farming dis trict, which, in fact, is considered bet ter than that which the competitors of the St. Louis line, the North-Western and the Milwaukee, will penetrate. The wholesale merchants will be in terested to know that in addition to the building of competitive centers al ready established as stations on the other lines, the St. Louis will open up at least twenty new towns. Everything First-Class. The Minnesota, Dakota & pacific Eailway company, as the extension is known, will be built by the Winston Brothers company of Minneapolis. The extent of their contract may be fig ured on the estimate that 5,000,000 yards of dirt must be moved. Work has al ready begun and the actual laying of track will follow from the east end. The line is to be laid with seventy pound steel, 10 pounds* heavier than that now used in the state. It will be a low-grade line, and will be after the highest type of modern railroad build ing- The heaviest part of the work will be the first fifty miles. The land rolls heavily, out of the Dakota hills into the James river valley, which is gently roll ing. Altho definite information is not ob tainable as to the exact line laid out for the extension, it will run northwest erly from Watertown, crossing the Mil waukee road at Bradley, and the North Wesfern at Conde, then northwesterly thru Aberdeen and Leola into McPher son county. A branch will leave the line near Conde and will run westerly about one hundred miles to the Missouri river at Le Beau. It is reported by those who have ex amined and who live in the territory to be opened up, that it will be an agricul tural country without a particle of waste land. It is all good soil and there is plenty of it. The land will produce wheat and flax, and a record for corn-raising has been made by the inhabitants. Line Well Equipped, The St. Louis road, with its new equipment, will be well able to handle the traffic of the new line. It has been said that the system is better equipped than any other line for motive power, as well as for cars. The company has just ordered for delivery before July 1 1,100 freight cars, fifteen chair and combination cars and coaches and fif teen locomotives. Completion of the St. Louis extension will probably revive Le Beau. In early days it was an extensive place and the point where' gdods weVS landed to be taken across, $&% river when Bowdle was the terminus of the "road. After the Milwaukee finished its line to Ev arts, Le Beau faded away, as there was no further use for it. It is reported from the west that the Milwaukee coast extension may not cross the river at Evarts. If so, it is likely that Evarts will take the place about to be vacated by Le Beau. Much of the business which the new line will produce belongs rightfully to Minneapolis. Its wholesale firms, manu facturers and distributing houses will supply the homeseekers in the new ter ritory with farming implements, build ing material and household supplies, and its grain and commission firms will han dle the products of the new territory. NAVAL RECRUIT SHOWS SGARS OF SANTIAGO Joseph Shannon, an old salt'' whose face is deeply scarred with wounds re ceived at the battle of Santiago, pre sented himself at the naval recruiting station in the federal building this morning and made application for re enhstment. The man saluted on seeing the officers of the corps, and was recognized as a man who had been in the navy. "Where have you seen service!" asked one of the officersr. "See that Bear, sir!" was the reply of the recruit, as he pointed to a jagged mark in one cheek, I got that cut from a shell sent from the Christobel Colon, at the battle of Santiago. I blew the bugle thruout that engagement on the battleship Massachusetts.'* "Tell me some of the officers who were on the different vessels in that engagement,'' was the remark of an of ficer present who seemed inclined to doubt the recruit's statement. "Certainly sir," was the response, and the man at once recited the names of the captains and executive officers of the different vessels of that fleet, end ing with the statement, I can tell you the names of the commanders of every ship in the navy if you want, sir.'' The man was not put to this test, however, and was told to return for medical examination in the afternoon. Shannon was discharged, according to his own statement, from the Iowa Oct. 14, 1900, and has been knocking around the country as a laborer ever since. He spent last winter in the northern Min nesota woods. This work being over, he came with many others to Minne apolis. Seeing the stars and stripes floating over the federal building and the signs of the recruiting station within, the old longing for service on the "briny deep" returned to him and he was soon applying for enlistment at the naval corps'' office on the fourth floor of the building. Altho Shannon will have to re-erdist as a common seaman, he is a man of excellent education and attainments. He is an expert stenographer, and in his former service secured prominence as an athlete, taking part in many a boxing match and coming off with fly ing colors.

With the father and mother sick in bed, and the only child old enough to work out of employment, the case of the family of N. O. Johnstone, living in Northeast Minneapolis, is pronounced by Ensign Miller, the relief expert of the Salvation Army, the most pitiful and deserving which has come under his care for a month. When Ensign Miller first visited the Johnstone home he found the father and mother too sick to help themselves and the three children, two boys, aged 16 and 6, and a girl of 13, actually in need of food. A married daughter was contributing what she could from her own poverty. Now the army is supplying groceries and a charitable physician is attending the sick parents free of charge. The boy of 16 is able and anxious to work, and will be able to contribute to the support of the family as soon as En sign Miller can find employment for him.
