DUMA ADJOURNS.
Petersburg, Russia, Nov. 21
j-Ttie
duma adjourned today's ses
sion out of respect for Count Leo
Tolstoi. The decision to adjourn
was reached only after a wrangle,
the members of the extreme right
contending that to honor the mem
I ory of Count Tolstoi would be to
to challenge the Greek Catholic
church. It also was asserted that
the duma was a Btate institution
I to which the Count was especially
opposed.
In proposing the adjournment
the president eulogised Tolstoi
whom he described as *5prlde of
Russia and glory of mankind," add
ing "may a merciful God open to
him the kingdom of heaven."
I Many societies and organiza
tions are preparing to send deputa

9:20
o'clock Sunday morning frorin peri

Mr. Hoyt was the strong right arm
of Philander C. Knox when the latter

FIRE
AT GRAND FORKS
Grand Forks, N. D.. Nov. 21.—The
most disastrous fire In Grand Forks
for several months occurred early
Sunday morning, when practically the
entire stock in the store of Louis Ros»?
enthal, located in the Wldlund build*
ing was destroyed.
The fire was discovered about 1:80
o'clock, William Gllbreath, employed
In The Council, turning In the alarm.
The first indication of the fire came
when the front windows of the store
were literally blown out by the force
of the accumulated heat and gas. It
was about 3 o'clock Sunday morning
before the fire was finally under con
trol, and not before the building, fire
proof structure that it is, was mater
ially damaged.
Mr. Rosenthal carried a complete
stock of women's ready-to-wear.cloth
ing and his loss will probably be In
the neighborhood of $20,000, only par
tially covered by insurance. Owing to
the fireproof construction of the build
ing Mr. Rosendahl did not carry As
heavy insurance as Would otherwise
have been the cas§.

road journey he was overcome with
exhaustion and cold, and Dr. Mako

transferred to the flag station at Asta

For ftve days he had lain there suf

Since early morning the countess

BY EXPLOSION
Lldgempod N. D. Nor. 21,—fDemi
nick Geresczek, a clerk In H. M.
Maack'c store, went to start up the
generator of the gasoline light plant
for the store. He lit the torch and set
it going as he had done many night*
before, when suddenly there came a
quick report and Mr. Maack rushed
back to find Geresczek about blind.
The top of the generator had blown
off and the fine metal filing and car
bon particles, caused by the repeated
Jrwrtinft of th» generator had blown
Into his eyes, and the flash of flame
had scorched them. There seems to
have been no great clanger from fire
and there is not a cnarred board to
mark where the explosion took place.
Geresczek's injuries were exceedingly
painful. The particles of metal and
carbon were blown under the skin and
in the eye and had to be picked out.
This was more painful as the surface
of the eye was burned by the flame.
It is not expected that he will lose
the flight of either eye, but he is laid
up at home since the accident.

BRUTAL ASSAULT

HU8BANO STRIKES WIFE WITH
CLUB—GET8 THIRTY DAYS
—FAMILY IN NEED.
Wllllston. N. D., Nov. 21.—Abraham
Lyons, as Assyrian who lives at the
north edge of town and farms a small
piece of land, was arrested Tuesday
by Sheriff Olson on complaint of his
wife, Llbby Lyons, who charged that
her husband had assaulted her and
struck her on the head with a stick
causing an ugly wound, and her head
proved t"he charge.
Lyons was brought before Justice
B. A. Aaen where he plead guilty and
received a sentence of thirty days in
Jail. Wm. G. Owens appeared for the
prosecution.
Lyons has the reputation among the
people whQ know him of being a bad
actor with his family. He has, it is
said, often abused and beaten his wife
and even threatened to shoot her and
kept a loaded revolver secreted. On
on*? occasion he is said to have taken
it from its hiding place during a fl
of rage but the wife had anticipate*
his action and removed the cartridges.
Lyons does not appear, from what
could be learned, to be a drinker or
dissipator but what is worse if pos
sible, the victim of a vicious temper
and a mean, inhuman disposition. He
has either been In bad luck or is in
competent to provide for his family for
they are destitute and in actual want
for the necessities of life. There are
