After a South Dakota Merchant---Defended by a Minnesota Merchant. Very recently Montgomery, Ward & Co. in a specially written circular to the buying public of Butler, S. D., made some uncom- plimentary remarks regarding the home firm of Hanson & Han- son because in duplicating one of M., W. & Co.’s special grocery lists they were obliged to cancel a gallon of mixed maple and cane syrup at 90c because they didn’t happen to have the syrup in stock at the time. The following from Fairmont, Minun., gives us an inkling of the size of the Mont- gomery, Ward & Co.’s gallon. If the quality of their syrup falls as far short of standard as their measure, what must it be? The item follows: “One of Houghtaling & Coult’s good customers, who occasion- ally sends an order to the cat- alogue houses, received an eye- opener Saturday in regard to the methods of the mail order mer- chants which will result in his spending his money at home hereafter. He brought in a can which had contained a gallon of syrup—one of Montgomery, Ward’s gallons—and asked Mr. B. W. Coult for a gallon of tur- pentine. Mr. Coult measured out the turpontine in a real gallon measure, filled the cus- tomer’s can and had a pint of the liquid left over. There is more than one way to skin a cat, but the cathouses know them all.”’— Fairmont (Minn.) Sentinel.

Gustafson and two of the children left yesterday morning for Akeley, where they will visit for several days. A number of the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. James Taylor gathered at their home last Thursday evening and celebrated the thirty-second anniversary of their marriage. The evening was most pleasactly passed and the occasion was one that will long be remembered. Delicious refreshments were served. Banker Morris last week bought from A. P. White of Be- midji, 240 acres of land in 148-32. The land contains a large amount of valuable timber. A very successful start was made Tuesday night toward or- ganizing a fire depariment and about twenty of our citizens en- rolled their names as members. The meeting was presided over by H. Stechman and R. C., Hay- ner acted as secretary, Great interest was taken throughout the meeting and after an organ- ization had been perfected, officers were elected. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Nicely have severed their connection at S. E. Thompson’s store and left this morning for St. Cloud. Mr. Nicely has accepted a lucrative position as traveling salesman for a large wholesale house. R. A. McCuaig came up from Bemidji last night. A party composed of the fol- lowing spent Sunday in a genu- ine picnic style at Neil’s old campon Gull river: Mr. ard Mrs. F. J.

The legislature, at its recent session, passed alaw regulating the public service of stallions. Owners of stallions used for pub- lic service are required to have the name enrolled and the pedi gree examined by the Stallion Registration board, at the Agri- cultural college, St. Anthony Park, St. Panl, and to secure from the board a license certifi- cate. The law is operative at once and stallion owners should secure a license certificate at the earliest possible date. Full information and a copy of thelaw can be obtained by ad- dressing the secretary of the board, Prof. Andrew Boss, St. Anthony Park, St. Paul, Minn, Cold in the Banana Belt. A letter received by A. P. White from Mrs. White, who is still at Fort Smith, Arkapsas, states that the weather is cold there, the thermometer going within two or three degrees of the freezing point. She also writes that for several days a furnace fire has been kept. Fort Smith is 1,200 miles south of here and this goes to prove the cold weather is general through- out the country.

BOTH SIDES FIGHTING HARD Extended Arguments Indulged in by Opposing Attorneys During Exam- ination of Veniremen—Several Men Excused by Peremptory Challenges. Boise, Ida., May 20.—The work of securing ajury to try William D. Hay- wood on the charge that he murdered Frank Steunenberg continues to drag slowly forward and a major portion of another week will be consumed in completing the task. The sixth and seventh peremptory challenges were used Dbefore the noon recess, the de- fense excusing Walter Shaw and the state W. N. Rudge. Talesman M. G. Goodwin was, after an extended con- test in which the defense challenged upon several grounds, chosen to re- place Shaw. Goodwin is a veteran of seventy-two years and his acceptance lifts the average age of the present jury to about sixty years. Shaw was only twenty-eight years old and the only very young man in the box. The argument of counsel over the chal" lenging of Talesman Goodwin seemed to indicate a sharpening of the con- test between them, a tightening of the lines along which the trial proceeds. “The Haywood family was absent again and the prisoner sat alone be- hind his lawyers. He consulted fre- quently as the examination continued and on the exercise of challenge rights. Joseph Chinn, a hackdriver and a Democrat, satisfactorily filled the va- cancy made by Rudge after he had been put through an almost endless examination by Attorney Richardson. He declared he had neither opinions nor prejudice to hinder him from reaching a verdict. The defense next peremptorily challenged Mr. Goodwin, who only a few hours before was se- lected to fill seat No. 4. ALL PORTS BLOCKED BY ICE 8erious Embargo on Commerce of. Cape Breton. North Sydney, N. S, May 20.—A serious embargo has been placed upon the commerce of Cape Breton by a fleld of ice forty miles in length and ten miles wide. The field is closely packed -and extremely dangerous to navigation. For weeks the govern- ment ice breaking steamer Montcalm has been laboring to rescue vessels caught in the ice. Fishing vessels have been picked up and carried away, while two of them, it is feared, have been lost with all hands, forty men in all. x The ice fields have shifted some- ‘what now, so as to block effectively all the Cape Breton ports. Heavy shipments of coal and iron ore are held up as a result of the ice embargo and until the ice is broken up the manufacturing establishments of this and other places, which depend large- 1y upon the Cape Breton mines for coal, will be badly handicapped. The prevailing winds have been northeast and not until a breeze from the south- westerly quarter comes up is there much hope of the 400 square miles of solidly packed ice breaking up. CANNON VISITS HUGHES. Refuses to Discuss Governor's Presi- dential Possibilities. Albany, N. Y, May 20.—Speaker Cannon of the house of representa- tives, Vice Chancellor St. Clair Me- Kelway of the state board of regents and Senator Raines were among the callers on Governor Hughes -at the excculive chamber. As Speaker Can- non left the chamber he was asked if Governor Hughes was regarded in Washington as a presidential: possi- bility. “Well, now,” said Mr. Cannon, “we haven't come to the stream yet. But speaking of presidential possibilities a man is one if he towers above his fellows and if he has friends and neighbors who stand up for him. But thesc early candidates remind one of the sooner dogs we used to have out in the Wabash country. When going out to hunt coon the sooner dogs al- ways barked before they struck the trail.” Speaker Cannon said the general impression in other states was that Governor Hughes was elected to rec- tify certain abuses in New York state and that he “was making good.” SCHMITZ HAS NOT RESIGNED But Agrees to Obey Requests of Committee of Seven. San Francisco, May 20.—Notwith- standing the many contradictory stories told about the scope and power of the committee of seven it is now generally conceded that the adminis- tration of municipal affairs in this city ‘s to some extent at least in its hands. In a written agreement Mayor Schmitz hag bound himself, it is said, to carry | EUGENE E. sCHMITZ. out any request which this committee, made up of representatives of the five leading commercial organizations cf the city, may malke of him. The com- mittee already has begun an investi- gation into the conduct of-the police department and will gradually extend the scope of its actions to the works board, street department and other branches of the municipal government. Its purpose is to make a thorough inquiry into the conditions that exist in various branches of the city govern- ment and to make such changes in personnel and methods as shall he judged necessary. “We hold Mayor Schmitz’ written promise to carry out the wishes and instructions of the committee in ad- ministering the affairs of the city,” said F. W. Van Sicklen, a member of the committee of seven. “The com- mittee’s agreement with . Mayor Schmitz is short, barely embracing ten lines of writing, but it contains his sweeping -promise to act absolutely and completely as the committee may direct.” KUROKI IS TIRED OUT. Strenuous Life Beginning to Tell on . Distinguished Visitor. New York, May 20.—The strenuous life of a distinguished visitor is be- ginning to tell on the hardy constitu- tion of General Kurokl, ‘according to reports, and he has informed his aides and the American officers who are di- recting his itinerary that he must have more rest. Moments of rest since his arrival in New York have been few. Although the general and the mem- bers of hLis staff did not get to bed until well along into the morning the itinerary for the day got them out early. AFFECTS 100,000 WORKMEN Lockout in Building Trades Occurs In 5 Berlin. Berlin, May 20.—A lockout in the building trades began here during the afternoon, all attempts to effect a com- promise having proved fruitless. About 60,000 men are directly affected and 40,000 are affected indirectly by the mowvement, which is the most serious labor difticulty in Germany since the great coal strike of 1905. Astonished at Graft Charges. Kansas Oltys May 20.—Covernor Folk remained in Kansas City most of the day and conferred further with the members of the board of police commissioners regarding charges of police corruption. He declined to divulge the nature of the information he has received. He is quoted as ex- pressing astonishment at the number and character of the graft cases re- ported to him. The investigation will ha begun activelx on Tuesday. New Ambassador to Japan. ‘Washington, May 20.—It is an- nounced at the staie department that Thomas J. O’Brien of Michigan, Unit- ed States minister to Copenhagen, will become ambassador to Japan in September on the retirement of Luke E. Wright of Tennessee, who has given notice to/the department that he wished to leave the service at that time. A successor to Mr. O'Brien at Copenhagen has not yet been selected. FORAKER TS BACK LATTER DECLARED FOR TAFT Benator Resents Dictation and De- clares That His Choice for President Will Be Named by the Next Conven- tion of Ohio Republicans. ‘Washington, May 20.—Senator For- aker of Ohio has issued a spirited re- joinder to the statement made public in Columbus, O., by Chairman Brown of the Republican state central com- mittee, embodying his views and those of Governor Harris and other state officials respecting Ohio’s choice of a candidate for the presidency. The senator says it is “difficult to make a polite answer” fo a part of Chairman Brown’s statement, declaring that “for rank, dictatorial and offensive boss- ism it far exceeds anything I can re- call.” He gives definite notice that he not only rosents‘ Chairman Brown’s dictation, but that'his choice for the presidency will be named by the next convention of Ohio Republicans and that he will abide by the choice. The following is the text of Senator For- aker’s statement; Voters Should Be Given a Chance. “The state officers have a right to their preference and to declare it when they like, but such declarations do not dispense with the necessity for a convention nor change my opinion that the voters should be given a chance to be heard before final action has been taken. “1f the Republicans of Ohio are all, or ‘overwhelmingly,’ or even by a bare majority, in favor of Secretary Taft his friends need not either fear the primaries or be in a hurry about holding them. “No one need suffer, certainly not wrongfully, if we proceed in order, in- stead of trying to rush conclusions by unofiicial announcements and declara- tions. “So far as the control of the state organization is concerned I have never made any claim to that. I have al- ways supposed that organizations were mere party machinery and not the personal property of any one, not even the chairman of the state central committee. Not Alarmed at Brown’s Threat. “As to the rest of Mr. Brown’s statement” it is difficult to make a po- lite answer. For rank, dictatorial and offensive bossism it far exceeds any- thing I can recall. It amounts to a threat that unless I straightway de- clare for Mr. Taft I shall lose the senatorship. That may be, but if so the fact has no terrors for me. “I said at Canton that I would not be dictated to by any kind of a boss, big or little, inside or outside the state. I meant that announcement for just such bosses as Mr. Brown and for just such performances as he is now giving us. “To be specific, I emphatically re- sent his dictation and give him notice that my choice for the presidency will be named by the next Ohio Repub- lican convention that is lawfully held to nominate state officers and that so far as I am personally concerned I shall abide by the action of that con- vention as to whether I shall be a candidate again for any office and if s0 what that office shall be.” DECLARES FOR TAFT. Ohio Republican Chairman Breaks His Reticence. Toledo, 0., May 20.—Chairman Wal- ter F. Brown of the Ohio state central committee has broken through the reticence he has so far observed since the commencement of the Taft-For- aker imbroglio. He declared himself as unqualifiedly for Taft, said the Republicans of Ohio were solldly in favor of his candidacy and declared that Senators Foraker and Dick owe it to themselves and “their friends to settle the report that they are secretly supporting the candi- dacy of Vice President Fairbanks. He declared, moreover, that the sen- timent for Taft is so strong that if further opposed, or in any way mis- represented by Senators Foraker and Dick, it will burst all bounds and de- mand expression in a popular conven- tion that might wipe Foraker and Dick off the political map. Would Oust Lighting Company. St. Louis, May 20.—An ouster suit has been filed in the circuit court by Circuit Attorney Sager against the Laclede Gas Light company and the Union Electric Light and Power com- pany. The companies are charged with violation of the anti-trust laws of Missouri, it being alleged they have formed a combine giving. them a monopoly on the lighting utilities of St. Louis. It is considered probable a special commissioner will be appoint- ed to hear the evidence in the case, Electricians Joln Strikers, San Francisco, May 20.—All the electricians in the employ of the Unit- ed Railroads have struck in sympathy with the striking carmen. There. is direct authority for the statement that the electricians employed by the San Francisco Gas and Electric company will not strike, as to do so would be a breaking of the union’s contract with the corporation.
