TEN CENTS PER WEEK EVIDENCE FOR STATE IS ALL IN State Concludes Its Case Against Guilmette, Being Tried at Crookston. In the famous Guilmette mur- der case now being tried at Crookston, the state concluded its evidence yesterday and the defense toolk up the task of prov- ing the man accused innocent. The story of the crime was gone over thoroughly during the ex- amination of the state’s witnesses and many things tending to im- plicate Guilmette in the affair were brought to light. One of the sensations sprung by County Attorney Rowe was the exhibi- tion ofa coat and other articles of wearing apparel identified as belonging to Guilmette which bore stains which upon examina- tion were found to be caused by human blood. The defense took up its case yesterday, Eric O. Hagen of Providence, R. I.,act- ing as chief counsel for theac- cused man. He made the open- ing speech, stating to the jury that he would attempt to prove the accused man innocent of any hand in the murder. The case is one of the most interesting ever tried in northern Minnesota and large crowds are present in the court rcom every day. It is thought that the examination of witnesses for the defense will be concluded tomorrow. THE LIVER QUARANTINE ‘'TAKING HIS MEALS OUT." QHurried eating has ruined many a man’s stomach. The digestion-destroying pro- cess is gradual, often unnoticed at first. But it is only a short time until the liver balks, the digestive organs give way, and almost countless ills assail the man who endeavors to economize time at the ex- ense of his health. A torpid liver causes a quarantine of the entire system, It locks in the diseased erms and body poisons and affords them a1 glay, inviting some serious illness. qIn families where August Floweris used, a sluggish liver and constipation are un- known, so are all stomach ailments, as well as indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, headaches and kidney and blader affec- tions. No well-regulated family should be without thisstandard remedy. o qTwo sizes, 25¢ and 75¢. All druggists. Sold by A. Gilmoeur & Co.

Barker: “We did an ex- cellent holiday business and the receipts were far in excess of those of last year. The coming year will probably carry away the banner, however, as our busi- ness has been steadily increasing | since its establishmentand shows no sign of letting up.” J. M. Markham: ‘Business has been a little bit quiet in the hotel line, probably owing to the large number of traveling men who went home to spend Christ- | mas. We expect it to pick up af- ter the holidays, however.” J. J. Cameron: “The term of court at Grand Rapids is not nearly over yet. In fact, it has just commenced, The calendar | is one of the biggest we have ever tried and it is doubtful whether it is completed in two weeks.” Wm. McCuaig: ‘“Business this year as compared with last year was excellent. The Christmas trade was a hummer. The sales in our store amounted to much more than last Christmas and the goods sold were of a higher class.” A Costly Mistake. Blunders are sometimes very expressive.

PASSENGER TRAINS IN COLLISION CRASH CAUSES DEATH OF SEVEN PERSONS AND INJURY OF TWENTY-FIVE. Mauds Station, IIl, Dec. 27— Through the failure of an operator at Browns, Ill, to give instructions to the eastbound train as to where it should meet a passenger coming from the opposite direction a headon col- lision occurred near here on the South- ern Railway and as a result one pas- genger and six trainmen were killed outright, while seventeen passengers and eight employes were injured. The two trains were respectively the west and eastbound from St. Louis and Louisville and were traveling at & high rate of speed when the crash came. The St. Louis-Louisville and the St. Louis-Knoxville sleepers were drawn by both trains, but none of the pas- sengers in these four cars were in- jured. Both engines were badly dam- aged and four coaches destroyed. Fol- lowing is the list of dead: Charles Schmidt, Centralia, Ill.; Engineer Bowen, Princeton, Ind.; Fireman Charles Hutt, Princeton, Ind.; -Mail Clerk H. D. Hogan, Georgetown, Ind.; Section Foreman Underwood, Prince- ton, Ind.; Employe Henry Oskin, Ten- nesson, Ind.; Cyrus Hutchinson, East St. Louis. 2 The cars of the eastbound train were telescoped and caught fire, The cars of the westbound train were only par- tially telescoped and the passengers escaped without serious injury. A wrecking crew and reliei party left Princeton, Ind., at once and began clearing the track and removing the dead and injured. The har t part of the tatk was to extinguish the flames, which had broken out among the shattered engines and coaches. Water was carried in rain coats and thrown on the flames by the passen- gers before relief arrived. Several cars were burned before the fire was extinguished. Each train car- ried day coaches, a chair car and two sleepeis. The chair cars and sleepers were not injured. GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENT. One Man Killed and Eleven Persons Injured at Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Dec. 27.—W. M. Gager was killed and eleven peisons serl- ously injured in a crash between an Eighth and Central street car and a Northern Pacific switch engine at Sev- enteenth avenue, northeast, and Cen- tral avenue. There were eighty-five passengers in the car and the fact that not more were killed is surprising. The accident was the result of a misunderstanding of signals between Motorman G. T. Gustafson and slich- ael Bridell, flagman at the crossing. Gustafson drove the car to within a few feet of the crossing. The flagman was on the tracks and the gate was up. He saw the train approaching from the east and made a motion to the motorman, who thought that the signal meant to go ahead. E. S. Bil- lows, engineer of the engine, saw the signal and thought he had been sig- naled to come ahead. The car reached the tracks on which the engine was coming and Gustafson saw the danger and turned on the full current, thinking he could get across. The engineer tried to stop, but it was tool late and the street car was struck near the front end, thrown clear off the track and swung around. The pilot of the engine then struck the rear end of the carwhere most of the passengers were and where most of the injuries were inflicted. The exact manner of Gager’s death has not yet been determined, but his body was torn to shreds under the wheels of the engine. PORTION OF CARGO DESTROYED. Fire of Unknown Origin on German Ship at Baltimore. Baltimore, Dec. 27.—Fire of an un- known origin destroyed a portion of the cargo of the North German Lloyd steamer Brandenburg during the day.

Al Presbyterian Eodies Under Control of Federal Council. New York, Dec. 27.—Official an- nouncement is expécied this week, ac- cording to the Times, of the details of the plan whereby it is hoped to bring rll the religious bodies of -the United States having a Presbyterian form of government into one organization which, while not providing organic union, shall afford a basis for co- operative work that has not beiore ex- Isted. The plan provides for the or- ganization of a federal council of the reformed churches in the United States of America holding the Presby- terian system. The plan of federation, if carried out, would bring into one organization the 2,000,000 or miore members of Presbyterian and reformed churches and will be made public this week in order that it may be thoroughly dis- cussed and may be acted upon in the synods and assemblies of the various bodies next spring. The aim is to se- cure the approval of the various su- preme judiciatories to the general plan and to have the committees continued and mitmeted to prepare a definite plan fof adoption a year hence. It is provided in the plan, continues the Times, that the churches joining the federation shall preserve their in- dividualities on their creeds, forms of government and worship, and every right, power and jurisdiction not spe- cifically conferred on the federal coun- eil. Representatives of the various churches in the council shall be regu- lated by the number of communicants in the affiliated bodies on the basis of four representatives for each 100,000 communicants up to 300,000 and four additional representatives for each additional 200,000 communicants. iN THE HARDS CF JAPANESE ALL RUSSIAN POSITIONS FRONT- ING RIGHT WING OF BESIEG- o ERS AT PORT ARTHUR.

Vast Armies Again Being Mobilized in Japan. Tokio, Dec. 27.—Tokio is again a great military camp and the scenes of last spring, when the first armies were mobilized and dispatched, are be- ing duplicated.

The general military preparations are enormous. It is planned to give Field Marshal Oyama a rough total of 500,000 men, with a heavily in- creased artillery arm, besides increas- ing the defenses of Formosa and the southern islands in anticipation of the Russian Second Pacific squadron’s at- tempt to seize a base.

SERIOUS DEFECT IN LEGAL PAPERS INDICTED MAN’S PRESENCE IN OHIO ON MARCH 5, 1903, NOT PROVEN. Albany, N. Y., Dec. 27—Sheriff Barry of Cleveland, O., who expects to arrest Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick, hus- band of Mrs. Chadwick, when he lands in New York, on the charge of forging the name of Andrew Carnesgie, met a check in his plans when he failed to obtain from Governor Odell the requisition papers necessary to permit the transportation of Dr. Chad- wick to Ohio for trial. He called at the executive chamber at the capitol, but was informed by Judge John T. Joyce, the governor’s pardon and requi- sition- clerk, that his papers were de- fective in that they failed to prove that Dr. Chadwick was in the state of Ohio on March 5, 1903, when the al- leged forgery was committed. Sheriff Barry decided not to try to correct his Dpapers now, but to go on to New York and arrest Dr. Chadwick and arrange for his requisition afterwards. Before leaving for New York Sun- day the Cleveland sheriff telegraphed to the executive department here ask- ing that his,papers be prepared so that there might he no delay upon his ar- rival early Monday -morning. When the telegrain was received Governor Odell was at his home in Newburgh and the message was given to hi don clerk. Judge Joyce immied telephoned the governor and received authority from him to deliver the de- sired warrant in case the appli papers were properly drawn up. Sher- iff Barry called at the executive cham- ber ‘and prescnted to Judge Joyce the requisition papers signed by Governor Herrick of Ohio asking an extradition warrant to enable him to take his prisoner out of New York state. When the sheriff learned that hi proof was defective there was at first some talk of his returning in person to Ohio for the purpose of getting the corrections. After -further consulta- tion with Judge Joyce he concluded to telegraph to have the afiidavits pre- pared and sent to him in New York. He said this was a purely formal mat- ter and that affidavits could be prompt- 1y obtaived showing that Dr. Chadwick was in Ohio on or about March 5, 1903. The Ohio sheriff left immediately afterward for New York, where he will wait for Dr. Chadwick’s arrival, whose steamer is expected Wednesday. He will consult-with the New York city authorities regarding the best coupse of procedure. Before leaving Sheriff Barry said that while he was di pointed at not obtaining the requisi- tion at the time the failure woull not delay him to any appreciable extent. CAUGHT IN WINNIPEG.

Toward the close of the afternoon the Warner brothers, with Frank Warner at the tiller, bore up the lake with the wind abaft, the Blitz, with Caleb Joss steering, ap- proaching in the opposite direction. Each craft carried five persons. As the yachts neared each other .it was seen that a collision would result should each hold to its course. Then came the blunder. Each skipper veer- ed in the same direction and again in the opposite direction. The crash came in an instant, the yachts plow- ing into each other head-on with such force that a second later they laid upon the ice in a tangle of splinters, hroken cordage and insensible bodies.
