GOES TO STATES’ PRISON FOR THREE YEARS When Brought Before Jndge Spoouer Enters Plea of Guilty to Grand Larceny. Roy O'Kane, the Wilton day agent and expressman, for one day, appeared before Judge Spooner and entered a plea of guilty to grand larceny in the second degree and received a sentence of three years at hard labor at Stillwater. In his testimony this morning he says heis an agent and tele- graph operator by trade, and that he is twenty-seven years of age. 1t appears from the evidence given that the act was planned and at the time he left Crookston to assume the duties of his new job he had a dozen quart bottles of whiskey shipped C. O. D. to Bernard O’Kane, well knowing that Bernard would never appear and claim the package. Upoun his arrival at Wilton he immedi- ately broke open the package. Becoming suspicious of his actions the night man for his own protection reported O’Kane: and upon learning this O’Kane immediately took a logging train for the westand getting off at Solway came to Bemidji. His actions as stated in the Pjoneer of yesterday were sub- stantiated this morning in court. It has been learned by later reports that he was short $20.00 in cash, and took with him the ticket punch and keys of the Wil- ton office. Before coming to* Wilton he was an operator at St. Charles, Ill., and his former home was in Indiana. He will probably be taken away tomorrow morning.

The city council has called a halt on people who have been burying their dead in the ceme- tery without first securing deeds to the lots from the city. The matter was called to the atten tion of the aldermen last night by City Clerk‘Maloy and, accord ing to his statement of facts, conditions have been aggravating in the extreme. Mr. Maloy declared that it has been a common practice with a great many to take the dead to the cemetery and bury them in any lot that pleased their fancy without securing a deed from the city or even giving notice to the proper authorities. The result, be pointed out, is to sadly mix up the records. People have beught lots and when they came to use them found them already occupied. The council agreed that this practice should stop and passed a resolution to that effect. Little was done in the way of business at’ the meeting last night. The sewer question was discussed at length, but as Engineer Thomas McGillivary of Duluth was not present to sub- mit his change in plans, nothicg could be done. Word was re ceived by Councilman Bowser early Monday that the engineer could be in Bemidji next Wed-: nesday, and the council voted to hold an informal meeting with him Wednesday night. The ordinance establishing the grades for the city streets was given its third reading and passed, and three applications for liquor licenses were approved.

After retiring to their hotel for the night five of them slipped away into the heavy dusk and made their way into “the big woods west of Crook- ston.” No doubt it was the “call of the wild.”” Now some of those grand jurymen did not arrive at their quarters:again un- til four o’clock ‘the next Satur- day morning. Morecver some of them' were net on hand at the opening of the court and immediately they appeared papers for preliminary notice of proceedings of a cou.- tempt of court were served on them one and all. OLD SETTLERS’ MEETING This Year Will Be Held at Black- duck the Latter Pazt of August. Ed Boyle who was in the city today states that at the meeting of the citizens of Blackduck held Saturday it was decided not to hold a celebration on the Fourth of July, but that they would have their celebration the latter part of August and entertain the old settlers and others at that time. The people of our sister city up the north line know how to entertain and when they say we are to be given'a royal celebration they mean it. It has been suggested to the Pioneer on several occasions that atthistimearrangementsbemade FOUND GUILTY Big Packing Houses Found Guilty of Accepting Concessions.

Queer Things About Flames, There is a relation between the color of flame and the energy of the com- bustion causing it. The more vigorous and complete the combustion the high. er the refrangibility of the light. A flame burning in a tardy a i way emits rays t a Dburning in a more complete and effec tive manner the emitted rays change to violet. The flame of a candle or » lamp consists of a series of eccentric luminous shells surrounding a central dark core. These shells of flame emit light of different colors, the innermost one—that in direct contact with the dark core—Deing red and haviug a tem- perature of exactly 977 degrees I Upon this and in their proper order of refrangibility are shells of light which are orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The reason that such a flame does not appear to us as a nest of cones of different colored light is this: When we look upon such a flame all of the rays issuing from the dif- ferent layers or strata of concentric luminous shells are received by the Jetina of the eye at one and the same time. This can only impress with the sensation of neutral or white light. Rubles. The finest rubies are still kept in Asia. The Great Mogul had 108 large rubies In his throne, and among them was one weighing two and one-half ounces. Of Buropean rubies Charles the Bold, that luckless son of a for- tunate father, had three rubies called the Three Brothers, of perfect color and worthy size. They passed lnto the possession of James L., who sent them to “Baby Charles.” There is a large heart shaped balas ruby in the Eng- lish crown. It has been neither cut nor polished, is only semitransparent and is of a dark red, like a morello cherry. Austria had, or has, an orien- tal ruby the size of a hen’s egg, and Queen Elizabeth showed Sir James Melville one as big as a racket ball Runjeet Singh had a large ruby with the names of many kings engraved on for an exhibition of grains, vege- tables and other products of the county. it. Among them was that of Aurang- zeb, A king of Persia had one which he prized at the value of a city or even a kingdom. It was a table cut balas ruby of a beautiful color of at least a finger’s breadth. The Last Prize Fight. Prize fighting, as distinguished from the glove contests of today, has long been banned by law, though It once had aristocratic support. Fights took place to a finish in a roped ring twen- ty-four feet square pitched on turf in the open. The men stripped to the waist, using bare knuckles, and wres- tling was allowed. The last fight for the championship of the world under these London prize ring rules was ‘when John L. Sullivan beat Jake Kll- rain in seventy-five rounds July 8, 1889, outside New Orleans, the stakes being $10,000 a side, a side bet of $1,000 a side and the championship belt.—Lon- don Answers. Franklin’s Kite Experiment, Commenting on Benjamin Franklin’s kite experiment, which proved that lightning and electricity are the same, a sclentist says: “It was one of the most brilliant examples of luck yet recosded. To attempt the extraction of lightning flashes from a lowering Bky was almost sulcidal. Even at this late day timid persons occasionally fly to feather beds, sit on glass legged chairs or find refuge In rubber boots during thunderstorms. A repetition of Franklin’s experiment cost his Immedi- ate imitator his life.” FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER. Qeorge Roberts Convicted and Sen- tenced to Term in Prison. Chicago, June 4—George G. Roberts was found guilty here of the murder of | John V. Kopf and senteaced to twenty years in the penitentiary. Kopf was a prominent politician on the west side of the city and last fall during a fight at a Republican primary he was stabbed by Roberts. Kopf | died within three days. Roberts, while on the stand in his defense, ad- mitted cutting Kopf with a knife, but : declared that it was an accident. During the last hour of the jury’s de- liberation word was brought to the court that the son of J. W. Harris, one of the jurors, was dying of appendi- citis. After a conference between the | trial judge and the attorneys on the case it was decided to allow the jury to continue without notifying Harris of his son’s condition because if he was allowed to visit Bs.old home it would make a new trial necessary.' The jury, however, reached a verdict within & short time after word had been brought to the courtroom of the condition of young Harris. “LABOR LEADER MURDERED. John W. Lavine of Chicago Fatally Shot by a Cripple. Chicago, June 4—John W. Lavme, well known among labor leaders throughout the United States, was' shot and fatally injured here at night by Jobn T. Tobias, a fellow unionist. ' Both Levine and Tobias are mem-’ bers of the Cigarmakers’ union. To- bias is a cripple and for some time has been supported by the union. At a meeting in Bricklayers’ hall called ' for the purpose of raising money for Tobias, the movement was opposed by Lavine.

It is reported that Miss Ada Rehan, | the aotress, is ill with appendicitis in New York city. The six transatlantic liners sailing, from New York Saturday had every| berth on board taken. Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul ar rived at New York Saturday on board the steamer La Lorraine from Havre. Representative Nicholas Longworth and Mrs. Longworth sailed for Eng- land Saturday on the steamer St. Louis, Jammed Fingers. Few people have escaped jammed fingers, and as the pain caused when the finger is jammed in a door is ex- cruciating in the extreme for the first few minutes it is well to know of soma means of relief. The finger should be plunged into water as bot as ean pos- sibly be borne. This application of hot water causes the nail to expand and soften, and the blood pouring out beneath it has more room to flow. Thus the pain is lessened. The finger should then be wrapped in a bread and water poultice. A jammed finger should nev- er be neglected, as it may lead to mor- tification of the bone If it has been badly crushed, and amputation of the finger must follow. Jammed toes are usually caused through the falling of Report Withdrawn, Washington, June 12.—By a vote taken in the Senate today the report on the conference cn the statehcod bill was withdrawn and another conference will be held.

New York’s First Sidewalk. -The first sidewalk in New York was laid by a woman, Mrs. Samuel Pro- voost, about 1716. She was an import- er and merchant and laid the sidewalk for the convenience of her customers. She had importuned the authorities to do it, but they refused, saying it was impossible. After her object lesson paving and curbing gradually came in, but for some time her sidewalk was so famous that people journeyed even from Philadelphia to see it.
