BRAINERD, Sept. 3.— Two masked
men overpowered and bound Robert
Magee, a farmer, living at St. Matthias,
in this county, on Saturday lest, tied a
grain sack over his head and kept lam
in hiding in the woods until dark, when
they marched him to his home, tied
and gagr&ed his mother, an aged lady,
the only other ocupant of the premises,
and by threats of burning the house
over their heads, succeeded in forcing
them to disclose the hiding place of
nearly $1,500 in money. During the ear
ly part of last winter Mr. Magee took
the money from the bank, owing to
■uneasiness in regard to bank failures,
and hid it on his premises, and the rob
bers had evidently come into possession
of knowledge of the transaction. The en
tire amount was not turned over to
the robbers at first, and the threat thit
they would torture them until the hid
ing" plac a of the balance was disclosed,
so terrorized the lady that she told
then-, were it was. One r>f th^ robbers
informed Mr. Magee tha-t he would
send his not.a for the entire amount to
bim by mail and would pay the note
in November if no effort was made to
capture them, and also that the money
was to be used to kjep him from go
ing into bankruptcy, as he was a busi
ness man and in hard luck financially.
The matter has been kept quiet until
today by the authorities.
-"THE CHURCH OX WHEELS"
Wan the Snbjeet of Lecture to Snn
day School Workers at Anokii.
Special to the G'.obe. »»*♦*.
ANOKA, Minn., Sept. 3.-At the
Sunday school institute at the Baptist
church last evening, "Uncle Boston"
gave a lecture with stereopticon views
on "Tha Church on Wheels." This
church was the chapel cars which are
sent all over the country preaching the
gospel where there are no churches,
etc. Mr. Smith (Uncle Boston) told of
these cars and their work in a pleas-
Ing manner. The lecture was good and
the views were very clear and distinct,
some of them being very beautiful.
This morning the session was in
charge of Mr. E. M. Hulett, who gave
a short talk, as did also Rev. C. T.
Ulsley. Papers were given on different
branches of Sunday school work and
the parts taken by the pastor, superin
tendent, teachers, secretary, librarian,
etc., in this work. These were given
by members of the Baptist Sunday
school and were all very interesting
and instructive. "Uncle Boston" could
not remain for his part, so Mr. Hulett
kindly took his place. This afternoon's
session closed the conference. The
first part was devoted to the boys and
pirls and the intermediate scholars.
Prof. Z. N, Vaughn gave a short talk
on "Next Sunday's Lesson," and Mrs.
Giddings on the "Temperance Work."
Ihe attendance has been large and
much interest shown.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.— A special to
the Herald from Memerara, British
Guiana, says: George H. Moore, a
grant holder on the British Guiana
bank of the Amaeura river, northwest
district, reports: "On Monday myself
and one Thomas Bennett left our resi
dences with my boat, sailing to Point
Barima, for the purpose of fishing. In
passing the Spanish station, which is
at the mouth of the river, one of the
Venezuelan police called us to slop,
and I wanted to know why. I got no
reply. On continuing my journey, Col.
Castania. the officer in charge, has
tened out from the general's quarters
with a Winchester and beckoned me
to stop. I refused to do so. He (Col.
Castania) aimed at us and fired, but
without striking either of us, and we
continued on our way."
The incident, has been reported to
the colonial office, London, and while
it is not expected that much more will
be heard of it. settlers in the North
west territory of the colony are anx
ious that the imperial authorities
should obtain assurance that such
demonstration shall not be continued.
The right to fish off Point Barima
was enjoyed by the Dutch from their
earliest settlement on the coast of
Guiana, and was one to which the
British succeeded.
PBEI'EII HUNTING PEARLS.
ArKansas Planters* May Not Get Cot

HELENA, Ark., Sept. 3.— The pearl
hunting industry, which has been ex
citing the whole country, is spreading
all over this end of the state. The St.
Francis river from the mouth of the
river to Jeffersonville, is lined with
white people and negroes, all engaged
in unearthing and prying open tho
richly laden mussel shells. One young
man brought a small bottle of pearls
to Helena, taken from Phillips bayou,
a tributary of the St. Francis. They
are no darker in color than the or
dinary pearls of commerce, but are
i handsomer shaped and are of good
size. All of the chain of lakes in the
hitherto impenetrable St. Francis river
bottoms are full of these pearl-bearing
mussels, and if they should prove to
be valuable, tho whole country will
soon be engaged in the business, to
the detriment of crop-gathering. One
planter said yesterday that he expect
ed to have difficulty in securing hands
to pick his cotton on account of the
pearl excitement.

HIS FWSH TRAGIG
RUSSELL 'WARD, A PROMINENT
FIGURE IN THE BRADBURY
CASE, DEAD.
JUMPED FROM FLYING CAR.
THE REMAINS DISCOVERED BE
SIDE THE TRACK NEAR WHEAT
LAND, IN IOWA.
ENGLISHMAN EVIDENTLY INSANE.
Attention of the Train Crew At
tracted by the Peculiar Actions
of the Suicide.
CHICAGO, Sept. 3— Russell D. Ward,
the Englishman, who created a sensa
tion a short time ago by eloping with
the wife of Millionaire John Bradbury,
of Los Angeles, Cal., committed sui
cide some time during the early morn
ing by throwing himself from a Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad train.
The fact was not known until hours
later, and as the result of a search
which was immediately begun, the
body of Ward was found at Wheat
land, 10. It is not known at exactly
what hour ■ Ward leaped from the
train, but according to Conductor Cal
loway, the act was committed after 3
o'clock this morning. Ward was evi
dently insane when he threw himself
out of the car window, as he had been
acting peculiarly a greater part of the
trip, and frequently sent telegrams to
all parts of the country.
When the train was at Fremont,
Neb., Ward sent a telegram to the
police department at detective head
quarters in Chicago, requesting them
to meet the train at the Northwestern
depot this morning. He signed the
telegram "R. W." and for several
hours the police in this city endeavor
ed to find out who "R. W." could be.
The telegram gave the police no in
formation, but the sending of it matos
the police believe Ward intended to
commit suicide on the train and sent
the telegram for the purpose of having
the police find his body when the train
arrived in this city.
Ward boarded the train at San Fran
cisco, Cal., at 5:30 o'clock, Monday
evening. He was immediately assign
ed to drawing room B, car 2, and he
had tickets through to Chicago. Al
though he did not display much money
Ward was dressed in a new suit of
black clothing and had been stopping
at a hotel in San Francisco for some
time. After being given possession of
his apartment in the Pullman car,
Ward remained away from the other
passengers most of the time, and spent
all his time in his own apartments.
SIGNS OF INSANITY.
Early yesterday morning, he began
to show signs of insanity. He flourish
ed two revolvers on the train several
times and almost created a panic
among; the other passengers. He told
the conductor of the train who he was,
and acted in a very peculiar manner.
At nearly every stop the train made,
he would get off and send telegrams.
One of these messages he sent, to a
resident of Los • Angeles, Cal., saying
that if Mrs. Bradbury wanted him she
could come to him, but for the present
he would have to go to England and
visit his wife. Another telegram was
one he sent to Chicago. The latter he
sent from Fremont, Neb., and reads
as follows:
"Please send a good man to drawing
room B, car 2, of the east-bound over
land Northwestern train, arriving In
Chicago at 7:30 tomorrow morning."
The telegram was dated Fremont
and was sent at 4:49 p. m. Lieut
Collins received the message, and,
thinking it was in regard to some fu
gitive from justice, turned it over to
Lieut. Haas, and this morning the lat
ter detailed Detective Sergeant Brodt
rick, of headquarters, to meet the
train at the depot. Ward's effects
consisted of several expensive satch
els and his railroad tickets. The satch
els were examined by the Pullman
lailroad officials at the union depot,
and it was through the papers found
in the satchels that his identity was
learned. The Northwestern people
were notified of this fact, and the
train dispatcher of the Galena division
ol that road immediately proceeded
to have the body looked for. Tele
gram;? were sent all along the line as
far as Fremont, Neb., and orders were
given station agents to search for the
remains. Several hours later a dis
patch was received from Wheatlands.
10., that the body had been found
alongside the track near that place.
The body was dressed only in a night
robe, and was much bruised. The re
mains were taken to Clinton, 10.,
where they are being held.
SHORT ON CASH.
In Ward's satchel was found only
$12 in cash, but he also had a draft
for $450. He also had in his clothing a
hotel bill for $94.
The suicide's personal effects includ
ed a big revolver in a holster, and a
bowie knife. One letter was found
signed "Tour affectionate mother." It
was dated several months ago. The
letter simply upbraided Ward for
failing to keep her posted on his
whereabouts and for his neglect in
not writing to her. Cards showing
his membership to the Marlborougii
Kennell club, England, and the Wel
lington club, Grosvenor Place, Corn
hill, London, S. W., were also found.
The following note was written with
lead pencil on a blank piece of paper:
"Dear Drew: Would it be expecting
too much of you to see this detective
and tell him that I am willing to re
turn to Los Angeles and undergo ar
rest there with him, if he likes? I
would rather return and face the mu
sic for what can only be a short time.
Of course, if you object in the least
tel! me so. Yours truly,
— "W. Russell Ward."
A clipping from the San Francisco
Examiner detailing the arrest and
i escape from jail at Los Angeles, or.
j Aug. 30, of a man whose name was
given as Henry Bacon, was found in
his pocket. Bacon was charged with
holding up a_ street car and three
gambling houses. From the tone of
the note which refers to "the detec
tives" and the telegram sent to the
Chicago police, it would seem possible
that Ward had committed some crime
at Loe Angeles, and that, having
failed to give himself up to the Loa
! Angeles authorities, concluded to sur-
I render to Chicago police, but decided
later to commit suicide.
Nobody on the train, not even the
officials, knew that Ward was miss
' ing. until Conductor Roundy took
charge of the train at Geneva, at 5

that Ward was morose 'and moody

The Lone Woman Traveler.
A recent issue of "Fashions," an il
lustrated monthly journal for women,
has an interesting article on women
traveling alone, in which, after refer
ring to the block signal system, and
other safety devices for which the
New York Central is celebrated, thia
statement is made:
"If the lone woman happens to be
going to New York City, she need have
no dread of landing alone in the con
fusion of a big, strange place, if she
travels by the New York Central. All
she has to do is to speak to one of
the red-capped attendants— free serv
ice—who will carry her bag, answer
her questions and show her to cab,
car, or elevated train.
"Another thing, she lands right in
the heart of the city, within a step
of a dozen or more of Its leading ho
tels — and she should bear in mind- that,
this is the only railroad depot in all
New York City.
"The New York Central might aptly
be called 'the lone woman's route.' "

MRS. LUETGERTS RINGS
Identified as Those Found in the
Sausage Vat.
CHICAGO, Sept. 3.— Three women
gave damaging evidence against the
defendant in the Luegert trial today.
They positively identified the rings
found in the vat, as being the proper
ty of Mrs. Luegert, and said that they
had seen them on her hands, and one
of them had talked with her about
the rings at one time, and so felt sure
that the rings found in the vat and
those she saw on the fingers of Mrs.
Luetgert were the same.. The defense
made a desperate effort to. break down
the evidence of the three women, but
they all stuck to their .stories, and
swore that the rings were those which
the wife of the sausagemaker had
worn before she disappeared.
The session of court was short in the
afternoon, as Judge Tuthill said that
he desired to make a personal visit
to the factory, and see for himself
where the murder is said to have been
committed. He took with him one at
torney from the side of the defense,
and one from those engaged in the
prosecution, and during their visit to
the factory no other person was al
lowed around the premises.
Carl Voelker, a chemist, who had
been at one time engaged with Luet
gert in the manufacture of permanga
nate of potash, and was at one time a
shipping clerk in the factory, testified
during the afternoon session that he
was familiar with all of Luetgerfs
processes for the making of sausage,
and that he had never had any oc
casion to use any caustic potash
around the place. The defendant could
not, he said, have secured it for the
purpose of using it in the making
of the sausage. During all of the time
that Voelker was around the factory,
he said that the vats were never used.
The crush around the court room has
increased to such proportions that it
was found necessary today to take
active measures to keep the crowd
away from the trial. The court room
is on the third floor of the criminal
court building, and orders were given
that none of the passenger elevators
should stop, save at the second and
fourth floors. Officers were then sta
tioned at the stairways, and nobody
who did not have business in the court
room was allowed to pass..

Eitriit of a Party of American Gold
Hunters Dead.
DENVER, Col., Sept. 3:->-George W.
Adams, of Cripple Creek; arrived in
this city today from the gold fields
of South America. Fourteen months
ago Adams left this *£it/ to try his
fortune in South American mines. He
went to the gold fields, 11 300 miles from
Georgetown, in company j with eight
Americans, remaining" there eleven
months. Of the entire, party of nine,
he alone escaped death from the fatal
fever. One by one he saw his com
panions die of the fatal disease, saw a
hole scooped in the ground, and their
bodies, twisted from pain, covered
with earth. He was attacked twice
with the malady, and all but died, and
finally, after seeing the last of the
eight die in agony, he became terror-*
stricken and fled from the country, a
country from which he says that not
one out of seventy-five white men
ever return alive.

penditure of $40,000,000. It means also
that this state is becoming a common
wealth of homes. It means that the
farmers of Kansas are realizing the
opportunities which are offered them
and doing their best to make the most
of them.
"I. have received letters from banks
in the smaller towns of the state, ask
ing- if they could legally refuse de
posits. This is a condition which
never before prevailed in Kansas. The
banks have thousands of dollars on
deposit, and do not care to take the
responsibility of receiving more
money. There is no demand for it,
consequently the bankers desire to ac
cept no more money.
"Never in the history of Kansas has
there been as much money with which
to pay debts as we find in the state
today. The state has struck a won
derful streak of luck. Conditions
brought a good, wheat crop; the prices
advanced; cattle are plenty and com
mand a good price. These conditions
found Kansas in a good position to
profit immensely thereby, and we are
doing it.
"There never has been a time in the
history of the state when the farmers
have not raised eno-ugh to live on.
Now comes this magnificent year, with
immense crops and high prices, and it
is little wonder they are making the
best of it. The people are making an
earnest effort to get out of debt, and
when xhey succeed in doing this the
Kansas farmer will be the most inde
pendent person on earth, because he
knows enough to keep out of debt
when once he gets started in the right
direction."

ICE HIGH IN ALASKA.
Sells for Fifty Cents a Pound in the
Klondike.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 3.—
Imagine ice at 50 cents a pound at
Dawson, close under the arctic circle,
with the thermometer 90 to 100 in the
shade. A letter received from Edgar
Mizner, written from Dawson on June
2S, tells of this and other summer
rigors on an arctic climate, and the
life and death struggle with the mos
quitoes.
"Things are a little quiet here just
at present," Mizner writes, "on ac
count of the scarcity of water. The
weather for the last ten days has been
very hot, the thermometer ranging
from 90 to 100 in the shade, and Ice 50
cents a pound — just think of that for
a place so close to the arctic circle.
Last winter everybody was too busy
digging gold to save ice.
"Every few days rumor goes the
rounds that gold has been struck in
some new creek, and at once a stam
pede is started for that locality, but
the men soon returned empty-handed.
"No one can conceive what a terrible
pest the mosquitoes are until he has
experienced them as they are here.
They come out of the wet moss by the
millions. Clouds of them swarm all
over and remain with you, making
their way under your netting and hat,
up your sleeves, and covering your
netting so thickly that you can hardly
breath through it. I have seen grown
men throw up their hands and cry
and howl in despair and almost go
crazy. It would take a very large nug
get to tempt me into the mountains
until they thin out some. They say
they will mostly disappear in about
two weeks. . The mountains tonight
are on fire in all directions, the fires
being set by men trying to smoke out
the mosquitoes."
AGED 74 AXD SEEKS A DIPLOMA.
Request of a Kansas VV'omnn Who
Has l.<>n:i Been a Teacher.
TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 3.— Miss B. K.
Crittenden, of Brookville, Kan., has
written a letter to State Superinten
dent Striker that has caused much
comment.
She states that she is seventy-four
years of age, and has been a teacher
for eight years, having held certificates
of various grades during that time.
"I now desire to secure a state di
ploma," Miss Crittenden says, "and
I write you this letter with the hope
that you will instruct me how to pro
ceed to take up reviews and study for
that purpose."
ThronKh"tTi«r~oO,ooo IsleaTof the
Georgian Bay to Owen Sound,
Only 81", via Soo Line.
Of the many delightful tours on the
Groat Lakes, for grandeur of scenery
and diversity of attractions, none can
compare with the wonderfully beau
tiful trip from Sault Ste. Marie,
through the great North Manitoulin
Channel and Georgian Bay to Owen
Sound.
From commencement to end there is
not one moment devoid of interest;
islands succeed islands in unbroken
continuity; islands of every size, shape
and description, presenting a constant
ly changing panorama of the most
wild and beautiful scenery. There is
nothing wanting that the mind can
discover to make this the beau-ideal
tour of the Great Lakes.
A \UKEWS STILL THINKING.
In New York to Consult With Bris
■ •in Walker.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.— Dr. E. Ben
jamin Andrews is in the city for the
purpose of consulting with John Bris
bin Walker. The unexpected action
of the Brown university corporation
in requesting the withdrawal of the
resignation of Dr. Andrews makes it
necessary that an understanding be
reached between the president of
Brown and the prospective president
of the Cosmopolitan university.
Dr. Andrews is registered at the
Murray Hill hotel. Shortly after his
arrival Mr. Walker called and was
with Dr. Andrews for upwards of half
an hour. The doctor declined to be
interviewed by reporters. It is be
lieved that the subject under discus
sion was the future policy of Dr. An
drews with reference to the accept
ance of the presidency of the new Cos
mopolitan university; also whether it
will be wise for President Andrews
to insist upon the acceptance of his
resignation from Brown university.

HO FOR HAWAII.
Mr. Tawney Will Be One of a Con
arrsKliinal Party.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.— Several
congressmen now in this city will visit

Those who have thus far determined
to visit the islands are: Joseph Can
non, of Illinois; H. C. Loudenslager, of
New Jersey, and J. A. Tawney, of Min
nesota. Their purpose in visiting the
islands is to acquire information on
matters that are likely to be consid
ered at the coming session of congress,
and since they are on the coast, they
have determined to take advantage
of the opportunity to see something
of the islands which may be annexed
when congress meets in December.
