Other Stocks Are Affected From Three to Ten Points. —_— New York, April 27.—The stock market was thrown into a condition of demorilization today by a sudden out-pouring of se- curities. All support seemed to be en- tirely withdrawn and a panicky in Hill stocks caused nervousness and an indiscrimi- nate unloading. Great Northern preferred was most acutely affected, suffering a perpendicular drop of twenty-tive COLE DECLARES HIS PLATFORM| Walker Man a Gubernatorial Candidate—Emphasizes State Development. A. L. Cole of Walker has form- ally announced himself a candi- date for the republican nomina- tion for goyernor and has started a systematic campaign for the votes of the delegates to Duluth. Mr. Cole, like the other candi- dates, has stated a pia.tform, and one of the leading planks, and the one which will interest Northeru Minnesota voters the most, is state development. The Walker man’s name 18 connected with several legislative acts along this line so that he has a special right to the issue, Mr, Cole’s platform as an- nounced by himself is as follows: “First in importance let me say, is a vigorous enforcement of our existing railroad laws and the enactment into law of such further safeguards of the public interest as experience suggests. points.

State Drainage Engineer Geo. A. Ralph has returned home from St, Paul, where he attended the meeting of the state drainage board, in session at the capitol building yesterday. Atthe meet- ing the general plan for the work that. will be carried on the com- ing year was thoroughly dis- cussed and many ditches were ordered constructed. There was general regret among the members of the board that the work should be restrict- ed in the manner that it is by the lack of funds, there being but $25,000 set aside by the state legislature for the carrying out of the work. There were peti- tions on file for ditches that the board was asked to construct which if all were granted would cost the state $150,000 and there was but one sixth that amount with which to work. Ditches were ordered con- structed in Kittson, Clearwater, Itasca, St. Louis and Aitkin counties and investigations were ordered with the view of con- structing ditches in Roseau and Marshall counties. The work that has been carried on in this department has been great and were the board allowed an ade- quate sum much more ceuld be done. The fact that Clay county alone has ordered $100,000 worth of ditches in that small tract of land makes the appropriation that has been made by the state legislature look the more dimin. utive. There is to bea dance at the city hall May 8 under the aus. pices of the firemen. It will be the first dance given after the laying of the new floor and every- body should attend. “Second: A vigorous policy of state development; a policy that is not content with the draining of swamps and the settlement of our vast unoccupied territory, but a policy as broad as the state and which will bring an increased measure of prosperity to every county in the state. “Iy is 1ndecd unfortunate that on account of the persistence and activity of other states and the Canadian Northwest many of our leave the state and but slight ef- fort is being made to stop this exodus or induce others to fill the vacancy caused by the departure. *‘Now this is especially deplor- able when there are vast numbers of people daily passing through our state and on to a locality which promises slight, if any, ad- vantages our own state does not citizens have been induced to|[ PIONEER OF BEMIDJ[ DE D 'I'racy Bardwell, ()ne of City‘s Earliest Settlers, Died ’lfhis Morning, «Tracy Bardwell, one of the earliest pioneers of Bemidii, died at the home of his son, Fred Bard- well, northwest of the city, at6 o’cl:ck this morning, Death was due to bright’s disease. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon from the court house at 2 o’clock and will be in charge of the local G. A.R. post, of which he was a member. Inter- ment will be at Greenwood. Mr. Bardwell was born in Craw{ord county, Penn., in 1843, When he was two years of age his parents moved to Wisconsin, where he lived until the age of 12 years, whea the family moved to Tracy Bardwell Dodge county, Minnesota, in 1855, they being among the pioneer. settlers of this state. Mr, Bardwell grew up and secured a common school educa tion under limitations, at Wasioja. In 1861 at the age of 18 years he enlisted for the war in the Fifth Minnesota infantry, and served three years and nine afford, while ours possesses man- ifold opportunities and-advan- tages which cannot be realized in the states or provinces to-which they are going. “A well directed, systemat.xc effort on our part, where all pull together, is all that is required to get the tide of immigration set- ting in our direction, and thus add to the value of every acre of land and increase the volume of every line of businessin ourstate. Should not the Repubiican party do the usual thing and set the pace for state development, when all other parties will soon follow in the glorious work 'which we shall have inaugurated? “Third: A change in our present so-called “Good Roads Law,” which will take road build- ing out of politics and thus make it possible to get a hundred cents worth of results for every dollar expended. “Fourth: Such changes in our insurance laws as recent investi- gations have proven necessary. “Fifth: But by no means the least important, are such changes in-our tax law and their adminis- tration as will make the burdens of taxation rest equally upon all classes.” LOOKING OVER THE NEW LINE General Manager and Super- intendent of M. & 1. Go Up Red Lake Road. A special train carrying Gen- eral Manager Gemmell and Superintendent Strachan of the Minnesota & International rail- way arrived in Bemidji this morning, was transferred to the Minneapolis, Red Lake & Mani- toba road and proceeded up the line.

Bagley, Minn., April 27.—This section of the country is being flooded with counterfeit half-dol- lars of the 1901 series. They are a good imitation, and to makethem doubly safe to pass, with the unsuspecting, they have been treated with an acid that gives them the appearance of hav- ing passed through a fire. Suspicion points to two young men who have been pushing a few of the ‘“queer” here, and who claim to be looking for govern- ment land. Another Smallpox Case.

This afternoon there were recitations and songs in all the grades and each room planted a tree on the school grounds with ing over the Red Lake road is un- known, but in view of the fact that the Minnesota & Interna- tional will haul a large amount of logs for the Red Lake railway the coming summer the trip is probably not significant. - a He, ¥Misusdersteod.

Washington, April 27.—A petition for rehearing in the Chicago traction eases was filed during the day in the supreme cowrt of the United States in behalt of the street car companies. Eleven reasons are glven for seeking an. opportunity to again present the case.” ‘The first reason given is that the court’s construction of the words “continued in force during the life hereof” in the second section of the act ‘of the Iliinofs legislature of 1865 is contrary to the interpretation given to thdt act for forty years by the city of, Chicago. It is contended that the .gourt in arriving at its construction of the sct has_ “overlooked the grammat- ical impossibility of assigning different subjects to the verbs ‘deemed’ and ‘held’ and ‘continued,’ said verbs being co-ordinate in position in the sentence and each qualified by the adverbal -phrases ‘in force’ and dluing the life hereot.’ " Another criticism of the court’s ae- tlon is based on the statement that in constructing the act in question “the court' has erroneously assumed that‘the power of the common council to establish time limitations of street accupancy involyes not merely the power to limit.the duration of its own contracts, but also the power to ex- clude the exercise by the general as- sembly of Illinois of the plenary auw- thority conferred upon it by the con stitution of Llle smte 2" ‘SHOCK CAUSES ALARM.
