ADDITIONAL LOCAL MATTER They Miss Steve. Steve Withey, our genial ductor who has made this run for a number of months, has been promoted to train dis patcher at Bemidji. We will miss his presence 1n these parts —Greenbush Journal. The Greenbush people are mistaken about Steve. He is now acting as walking boss in chief of the gravel pit at Bagley, where some five trains are tear- ing away mother earth in a man- ner that threatens the demolition of the entire country. Steve, who is a brother-in-law of *Jap” Statford, was in the city Satur day. He was clothed in a be- coming suit ‘“hum spun,”’ and his feet were enclosed in a vil- lianous pair of cowhides that were at least No. 17. Steve’s all right, whether in church, punch- ing tickets, or leading an Eik quartette. con- Tax Judgment Sale.

Delinquents Should *‘Cash in ” Those who are still ‘“shy’’ on delinquent taxes for 1906 are ‘“‘cashing in” rather slowly to the county and if there is not more prompt -returns within a few days the sheriff’s office will be compelled to ‘“get busy” and personally interview the delin- quents. This visit of the sheriff is a costly proposition to the party on whom the call is made. Shipped Car Nursery Stock. L. P. Anderson, general man ager of the Itasca RegionNursery of this city, has shipped a car- load of nursery stock to pints in the western part of Minnesota and also to North Dakota.

They are mammals, ma’am, too. Their home is in South America, their names are the ornithorhynchus, or duck billed platypus, and the echid- na, or porcupine ant eater. They are the lowest mammals known.” “Really 7 “Oh, yes! The duck billed platypus lays two eggs at a time. But the echidna lays but one egg, which it car- rles in a natural pouch beneath its stomach—there’s an idea for the hen there—until the kid echidna, so to speak, is hatched out.”—Los Angeles Times. that lay, From Germany we get the custom of celebrating gold and silver weddings. HATWOOD I COURT Defense in Miner’s Case Asks for Bill of Particulars. MAIN POINTS OF THE MOTION Recites Absence of Defendant From Idaho at Time of Steunenberg’s Mur- der and Lack of Mention in Indlct- ment of Any Overt Acts. Boise, Ida., May 7.—The argument of the motion of the defense for a bill of particulars in the case of William D. Haywood, charged with the murder of former Governor Steunenberg, was commenced Dbefore Judge Fremont Wood at 10:15 a. m. By direction of the court Haywood was brought up from the county jail below to attend the hearing on the motion. Sheriff Shad Hodgin and two depu- s brought the noted prisoner into the room and gave him a seat at the table of his counsel. He was mnot handcuffed. Senator Borah represented the state and Messrs. Richardson and Darrow the prisoner. Mr. Richardson opened his argument by reading the indictment of Hay- wood, Moyer, Pettibone, Orchard and Simkins, charged with the murder of Governor Steunenberg. The motion for the bill of particu- lars recites the absence of the defend- ants from Idaho at the time the crime was committed and that the indict- ment contains no information that wonld show the overt acts by which the state hopes to prove the gullt of the accused. Senator Borah, who argued for the state, said that the defense was not seeking particularization of the indict- ment but possession of the evidence by which the state hoped to prove its case. He then explained that the charge that Haywood was at Caldwell when the murder was committed was not necessary under the Idaho stat- utes. Senator Borah said that the in- dictment as to murder was surely spe- cific enough to show the prisoner the exact nature of the charge he must meet. The demand for particulars as to the conspiracy was a demand for evidence. DEFEATED BY CLOSE VOTE Resolution Branding Roosevelt as an “Undesirable Citizen.” Seattle, Wash, May 7.—President |’ Roosevelt's designation of Moyer and Haywood as ‘“undesirable citizens” was accepted by Washington social- ists as their own characterization by the state convention of the Socialistic party here. The convention almost unanimously passed a resolution de- claring that if Moyer and the other ac- cused officials are “undesirable citi- zens” they wish to be known in the ssIne way. The same resolution demanded that President Roosevelt show proof for his statement that the officials incited to rict and bloodshed. A resolution declaring that the president himself is the “most undesirable citizen in the United States today” was barely defeated and then only because the convention went on record as refusing to “bandy epithets used by capital- ists.” WANTS JUSTICE DONE. President Writes Another Letter on Moyer-Haywood Affair. New York, May 7.—In a letter read before the Central Federated union President Roosevelt states that if evi- dence is submitted to him showing that there has been a miscarriage of justice for or against Moyer and Hay- wood, awaiting trial at Boise, Ida., charged with the murder of former Governor Steunenberg, he will bring such evidence to the attention of the attorney general for such action, if any, as it may be in the power of the federal authorities to take. The communication was the formal reply of the president to the commit- tee of the union which recently called upon the president in Washington and requested him to set forth in general his attitude toward the accused men and specifically why he had referred to Moyer and Haywood as ‘“undesir- wble citizens.” NO ASSISTANCE DESIRED. Attorneys for Miners Reply to Pres- ident’s Latest, Boise, Ida., May 7.—Immediately be- fore the opening of the court for the hearing for the motion for a bill of particulars in the Moyer-Haywood- Pettibone case Clarence Darrow, of counsel for the defense, said to the correspondent of the Associated Press: “Under the laws and constitution Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone are to be tried in court by a jury of their peers. The forum is the state court of Idaho. Under these facts I do not see what there is for the president to do. All we have a right or desire to sk either of him or any other citizen is to leave the courts and juries to administer the law fairly and without Prejudice and without influence from the outside.” Ruef Case Agalin Postponed. San Francisco, May 7.~The illness of Abraham Ruef caused a postpone- ment of his trial for one week. Dr. J. Shiels, appointed by the court to make an examination of Ruef, testified, that Ruef is suffering from a severe cold and threatened with pnenmmonia. SMALL CROP PREDICTED, Big Falling Off in Wheat Production Looked For. Chicago, May 7.—The unseasonable weather which has prevailed lately throughout the grain sections of the West has radically changed the situa- tion in the grain markets. At the ‘| same Ulme the reports from various sections are so contradictory that com- mission houses have been largely af Sea as to what actual damage has been done. - There is, however, a general belief | his authority. that the crop will be short as com- pared with that of last year, both in wheat and oats. The estimates of the deficiency run as high in winter wheat as 100,000,000 bushels. In addition to this the extreme cold which has pre- vailed almost continuously in the northwestern part of this country and in Canada has greatly delayed seeding operations. The loss of acreage that will result is yet a matter of conjec- ture, but the general belief on the board of trade here is that it will be considerable. WILL GO TO ENGLAND. Russian Soclalists Not Permitted to Meet In Scandinavia. Malmoe, Sweden, May 7.—The Rus- slan socialists desirous of holding a congress here are being kept on the move in the Scandinavian peninsula. After having been ordered out of Den- mark 120 delegates arrived here and ‘were joined by sixty others who came by way of Stockholm. The police, however, refused to permit the social- ists to remain here and prohibited the holding of any conference whatever at Malmoe. The Russians thereupon re- quested permission from the Danish authorities to go to Estjerg and there embark for England, where they hope to be able to hold a congress. ACCOUNTING ASKED FOR. Chicago-New York Electric Alr Line Gets' Into Courts. Chicago, May 7.—A bill seeking to fest the -ralidity of contract entered nto between the Chicago-New York Electric Air Line Railroad company and the Co-Operative Construction company and to compel certain per- sons to return stock which the bill claims they have illegally Treceived from the railroad company has been filed in the circuit court by Theodore Nemoyer, one of the stockholders of the railroad company. In the bill acts of the officials of the railroad company are questioned and an accounting is asked from them. In the event that an accurate accounting cannot be had the court is asked to appoint a’receiver for the company, which, according to the allegations of the bill, has an illegally authorized capital stock amounting to $200,000,- 000. The advertised plan of the:railroad company is to build and operate be- tween Chicago and New York an over- head electric system which will allow trains to travel Dbetween the two points at the continuous rate of sev- enty-five miles per hour. Packinghouse Employes Out. Omaha, May 7.—Three hundred and elghty men in the car repairing and refining departments of Armour & Co.’s packing plant struck because they claimed they 'did not receive a raise in pay which was granted to other employes last week. They fur- ther claim their pay was cut 25 cents a day some time ago and never re- stored. As many more men threaten to quit the Cudahy plant. SITUATION MORE SERIOUS Mexico and Guatemala Break Diplomatic_Relations. ' ‘Washington, May 7.—The state de- partment has received information to the effect that diplomatic relations be- tween Mexico and Guatemala have been terminated. The outcome is awaited with apprehension. FOR BLACK HAND OUTRAGES Eleven Italians Convicted at Wilkes- barre, Pa. ‘Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 7.—Eleven of the thirteen Italians who had been on trial here charged with “Black Hand” crimes were declared guilty in -the Luzerne couaty court when the sealed verdict of the jury was opened. The other two defendants were acquitted. The principal charge against the men at the trial was the blowing up of the home of an Itallan named Rizza be- cause he refused to pay money to a band of men calling themselves the “Rlack Hand” society. The penalty for the crime for which the Italians were convicted is two years’ imprisonment. District Attorney Salsburg said that the prisoners would be tried on two other charges against them, dynamit- ing and attempting to kill. The pris- oners received the verdict with the utmost indifference. PLEA OF NOT GUILTY. Ex-Secretary Fairchild Formally Ap- pears in Court. New York, May 7.—Charles 8. Fair- child, former president of the New York Security and Trust company and a former secretary of the United States treasury, who; with George W. Perkins, was indicted for forgery in the third degree as a result of dis- closures made in the insurance inves- tigation, surrendered himself in the supreme court during the day. He entered a plea of not guilty and was held in $10,000 bail for trial. Mr. Fair- child was in Europe when the indict- ments against him were returned and he at once returned to this country ta face the charges. It is not probable that the case will be called for trial before autumn. IN STATE OF REBELLION. Whole of Southern Morocco Against the Sultan. Tangier, Morocco, May 7.—Accord- ing to information received here from Morocco City the whole of the south- ern part of Morocco is in a state of rebellion. After the populace of Mo- roceo City had proclafmed Mulai Ha- fig, brother of the reigning sultan, to be sultan of Morocco Mulai released the prisoners from the jail, arrested the murderer of Dr. Mauschamp, the French citizen whose assassination caused the intervention of France in Morocco, and restored the old governor of the city. It is reported that many of the local officials have gent word to Sultan Mulal-Abd-El-Aziz, who is at Fez, that they will no longer recognize O, WATSON 15 EA TONSILITIS CAUSE OF DEATH Blood Poisoning Develops From Dis- ease and This Is Complicated With a Bad Attack of Rheumatism and a Weak Heart. Burlington, Ia, May 7.—Dr. John Watson (Ian MacLaren), the world famous author and preacher, died at 11:15 a. w, at Mount Pleasant, Ia. The cause was blood poisoning, resulting from . tonsilitis,. He was taken ill at Mount Pleasant April 25. Dr. Watson came to Mount Pleasant on April 23 from Minneapolis to de- liver a lecture to the students of the Iowa Wesleyan university. En route Dr. Watson became ill and was com- pelled to cancel the date for the lec- ture. The illness, which was declared to be tonsilitis, progressed favorably. Last Monday and Tuesday the patient was able to be up and around and transacted some business. Wednesday an abscess formed on the right ear. The system absorbed the pus and in twenty-four hours developed serious symptoms. The physicians regarded the case as critical, but hoped to stem the tide of the disease. Blood poisoning set in and on Saturday other abscesses started to form in-the left ear and throat. The patient's condi- tion was aggravated by a bad attack of rheumatism and a weak heart hastened the ‘end. Author of Worldwide Repute. Rev. Dr. John Watson (Ian Mac- Laren) was born at Morning Tree, Essex, Eng., Nov. 3, 1850. He was the eldest son of the late John Watson, an employe of the British civil service. Dr. Watson received his education at Edinburgh university and in Germany and was ordained a minister in 1875. He was appointed Lyman Beecher lec- turer at Yale university in 1896 and was made minister of Sefton Park Presbyterian church, Liverpool, in 1880, retaining that position until 1905, Among the publicaticns of “Ian Mac- Laren” were “Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush,” “The Days of Auld Lang Syne,” “A Doctor of the Old School,” etc., and among the works signed John Watson were “I'he Mind of the Mas- ter,” the “Cure of Souls,” “The Pot- ter's Wheel,” “Companions of the Sorrowful Way,” “The Life of the Mas- ter,” “Doctrines of Grace,” “The Homely Virtues” and “The Inspiration of Faith.” Dr. Watson arrived in New York from England on Feb. 9 last and the following day occupied the pulpit of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, ‘where he was warmly greeted and ex- pressed his gratification for what he termed “an extraordinary tribute to a visiting clergyman.” UNDOUBTEDLY ACCIDENTAL No New PDevelopments in Death of Littie Horace Marvin. i‘Dover, Del, May 7.—The state au- thorities are still at work on the Mar- vin case and hope soon to be able o officially declare the cause of the death of little Horace Marvin, whose body was found on the marshes near his home Saturday afternoon: Attor- ney General Richards was in consulta- tion with his deputy and the chemists who are examining the organs of the child’s body have about completed their work. Nothing developed to change the prevailing opinion that the child wandered off his father’s farm and met an accidental death on the frozen marsh. As soon as he can arrange his af- fairs Dr. Marvin will sell his Bay Meadow farm and return to his for- mer home at Sioux City, Ia. He will take the body of his child with him. WOUNDED IN SAVING NURSE Inmate of Soldiers’ Home Gets in Front of Bullet. Washington, May 7.—William Parks, aged forty-seven years, an inmate of the National Scldiers’ home, shot and serjously wounded James Leslie, aged thirty-five, also an inmate, and after- wards committed suicide. Parks had been drinking and, entering one of the wards of the hospital, was-directed to leave by one of the nurses, Sister Paula. Parks immedately drew a re- volver and was abut to shoot when Leslie stepped in between them, re- ceiving the bullet intended for the nurse. EVERYONE WALKS IN FRISCO Strike of Employes Ties Up Street Car Lines. San Francisco, May 7.—The street car motormen and conductors struck Sunday for an eight-hour day and a flat wage of-$3, tying up the street car system of this city. In lieu of the cars all sorts of vehicles from auto- mobiles to express wagons were used by the public. The strikers have been reinforced by the stationary firemen, who demand recognition of their union and an in- crease of wages from $2.75 to $3.25 per day. Franeo-Japanese Convention. Paris, May 7.—A Franco-Japanese convention for the preservation of the status quo in the far East is declared | In several quarters to be under nego- tiation. DISCUSS THE NEW LAW. 8ecretary Wilson and Chief Meat In- spectors in Conference. Chicago, May 7.—Secretary of Agri- culture James Wilson met in this city the chief meat inspectors of every large city in the country for the pur- pose of conferring on the application of the new meat laws to the practical industry. . The inspectors, numbering about 160, met the secretary at the Audi torium hotel and proceeded at once to the Union stock yards, where the con- ference, which is to continue for three DO IT NOW. Now is the time to take something to clean and build up the blood, riddicg the system of the poisonous waste matter and acids which cause Rheumatism, Blood disorders, Nervous Debility, Backache and oth- er miserable weaknesses.

The yards and the packinghouses were first inspected and an executive meeting was then held, at which the phases of the law were discussed. Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry, delivered an ad- dress late in the day. In the course of his remarks he declared that on July 1, 1906, there were engaged in meat inspection at 163 establishments 764 employes. There are now 2,029 émployes at 629 establishments. There have been granted to retail dealers or butchers as provided for by the law 8,558 certificates of exemption. In spection has been withdrawn, Dr. Mel- vin declared, from forty-six official es- tablishments, principally because of failure to maintain a proper standard of sanitation and in some cases be- cause of the use of prohibited pre- servatives. In concluflon Dr. Melvin declared that the bureau had received in a gen- eral way the co-operation of the pack- ers. The greatest difficulty thus far had been the attainment of cleanli- ness. Conditions were, however, in his opinion, working steadily for thc _better. CHANGE IN COMMISSARY. Army to Purchase Supplies for the Canal Zone. New Orleans, May 7.—The party of business men from several Southern cities, which left here twelve days ago for the Panama canal zone to present complaints in favor of Southern pro- ducers in supplying canal commis- saries, has returned and reported thut they had been unexpectedly success- ful. M. B. Tresevant, heading the New Orleans contingent, said that he was authorized by Colonel Goethals to an- nounce that a change is contemplated in the commissary which will give the army the handling of the purchase of supplies in the United States. PLUNGE INTO MISSISSIPPI Two Men Drive Off Open Drawbridge Near St. Paul. St. Paul, May 7.—Fred Hill and Dar- win Truax of St. Paul Park were drowned in the Mississippi river while they were in the act of crossing the- Rock Island 'drawbridge which spans the river between St. Paul Park and Inver Grove. The bridge tender had begun to open the draw for the pur- pose of allowing a steamboat to pass down stream and Hill and Truax, who were driving across in a buggy, pro- ceeded on their course, unaware of their danger, with the result that the vehicle and the occupants were thrown through the opening into the river. Great Influx of Immigrants. . New York, May 7.—Three transat- lantic liners, which have docked with- in the last twenty-four hours, have added 8,100 immigrants to the great influx of aliens who have arrived here during the last few days.

Y., May 7.—Governor Hughes has approved the. Page child labor bill desired by the child labor committees and the Consumers’ league. It provides that no minor under six- teen years of age shall be employed or permitted to work in any factory in this state before 8 a. m. or after 6 p. m. or more than eight hours in any one day. Changed His Mind. A man went to a boxing instructor and asked him how much he would charge him for twenty-five lessons. The instructor told him bis terms, and the lessons commenced. After two les. sons the pupil, who was somewhat the worse for wear, remarked to the pro- fessor: “You see, I wanted to take enough lessons so that I could learn enough about the manly art to lick a man. I've changed my mind now. I guess 1 will send the fellow down to| take the rest of the lessons.” MAY DELAY OGEAN TRAFFIG Five Thousand Additional Long- shoremen on Strike. New York, May 7.—The strike of longshoremen which has been in prog- ress for more than a week, affecting not only the coastwise steamers but several transatlantic liners, took an extremely serious turn during the day when 5,000 more large transatlantic freight handlers joined the movement. The men who joined the ranks of the strikers during the day number be- iween 4,000 and 5,000 and their action - may result in serious delay in the movement of some of the biggest transatlantic passenger and mail steamships. The men were those of the North German Lloyd, the Scan- dinavian-American, the Hamburg- American, the Holland-American and the Phoenix lines. Up to this latest development more than 3,000 men were on strike from the American and Red Star lines and from the various docks in Brooklyn. Tramp steamers from various parts of the world are chiefly affected in Brook- Iyn. There have been no serious dis- orders. The movement is uniformly in support of a demand for an increase in wages to 40 cents an hour regularly, 60 cents for overtime and 80 cents for holiday work. This is practically an advance of 334 per cent over the wages now paid by the steamship companies. Nineteen Cars Wrecked. Kalamazoo, Mich., May 7.—Fireman Abner Wenger of Elkhart, Ind., was instantly killed and John N. Brownell, driver of a city street sweeper, was fatally injured when a doubleheader Lake Shore freight train collided with the sweeper at the Portage street crossing, derailing the train and piling nineteen freight cars in a heap.

The widow of a little village grocer was industriously placing the large,| Cor rosy cheeked apples on the top of the diminutive shriveled ones in the barrel | test when, with his well known martial tread, Farmer Giles entered the estab- lishment. “I want that tub o’ butter,” he said, “an’ those hams, an’ that lot o’ sugar, an’ v— The shopkeeper rubbed her hands together with delight. “Yes, sir,” she beamed; “delighted to serve you, I'm sure. And what else may I supply you with?” “Well,” went on Mr. Giles, “there’s all them bottles of tomato sauce, an' them boxes o' biscuits, an’—an’ all that other stuff,” he concluded vaguely, sweeping his hand round the shop. “Good gracious!” exclaimed the wid- ow, now rather alarmed. “Whatever do you want with all them goods?” “I dunno, I'm sure,” was the farm er's puzzled reply, “but I'm the execu- tor of your late husband’s will, an’ the lawyer’s just told me it's my duty tc carry out the provisions, so come on I've got three hay carts waitin’ out side!” Told by the Cards. A young woman told a tale of cruel desertlon to the officers of an east side charitable institution in New York, and “when her case had been disposed of she started to leave the room, wailing, “If T had only believed the cards!” She was asked to explain and said. “We were engaged in Bohemia and our parents were pleased with the match. It was all agreed what I should re- ceive, and we were happy. Then my father, to find out more about the young man, invited him to play cards with him three times, and when the third card evening was over he said ‘No.’ ‘Only in cards a man shows his true nature, he said, ‘and this man showed me enough to show me that he will not be a good husband.’ And then ‘when the match was broken I came to this country to my brother. Then Max came, too, and we were married. But the cards were right, ‘and my father knew.” And dwelling on that point and sobbing hysterically she left the office.—New York Tribune. Lack of Sea Room on the Lakes. The wind often reaches a very high velocity on the lakes, blowing at times sixty, seventy and on rare occasions eighty miles an hour, when the great fleet of lake craft is sure to be deplet- ed by disaster and watery graves add- ed to the great marine cemetery. On such occasions the sea raised would hardly inconvenience an ocean going tug, but by reason of the short dis- tance from shore to shore—“lack of sea room,” the mariners term it—ves- sels are unable to hold a course in the open waters and are driven by the -wind upon the treacherous beaches, there to be pounded into splinters. Danger lurks everywhere in the shal- lower lakes—particularly Erie—where vessels of any considerable draft are apt to pound bottom if caught in a storm and go to pieces like a shattered wineglass.—New York Post. Knew More Than the Judge. Justice Maule, one of the greatest ju- dicial wits of England, had doubts as to the credibility of a witness on one occasion, and the man declared that he had been “wedded to truth” from in- fancy. “Thatmay be,” said the justice, “but the question is how long have you been divorced?’ A little girl was a witness before him, and he proceed- ed to ascertain whether she knew the nature of an oath. The child in an- swer to questions said she would go to heaven if she told the truth, but would go to the other place if she told les. ‘““Are you sure of that, my dear?’ Jus- tice Maule asked, “Yes, sir, quite sure.” “Let her be sworn,” said the court; “she knows more than I do.” LAWYER .
