SPECIAL Wash Goods Sale! COMMENCING Tuesday, June 4th, until Satur- day Evening, June 8 There have been a good many sales in this city, we have had them ourselves, but none like the one we are going to inaugurate this week, neither in the goods of- fered for sale nor in the prices. Anticipating a good spring trade we bought heavily in every line, but on account of the extremely backward season we find that we have more goods on hand than we care to have and consequently offer them at prices that never have been and, we believe, never will be duplicated in Bemidji.

Rogers press, where the lottery tick- ets have been printed for many years. With these pleas of guilty and the surrender of all lottery material the Honduras National Lottery company, which ig the successor of the old Lou- isiana state lottery, passed out of ex- istence, ending a long struggle of the federal authorities. The federal authorities first at- tempted to break up the lottery busi- ness on the passage of the act of 1877, forbidding the transmission of lottery matter by mail. Tn 1905 this wag supplemented by the act forbidding the interstate carriage of lottery tick- ets or advertisements of lottery mat- ter. In 1903 the supreme court, by a vote of 5 to 4, upheld the constitution- ality of the latter enactment. Carried as Personal Baggage. Since the decision the lottery tick- ets were printed at the lottery com- pany’s plant in Wilmington, Del., and taken as personal baggage by mes- sengers from Wilmington to New York, where they were stored in dif- ferent warehouses and from time to time taken, also as personal baggage, by messenger to Washington, where the packages were rechecked to dif- ferent places. The officers and agents of the company operated under as- sumed names and a complete code was also used. The drawings were held monthly -at Puerto Cortez and HAWLEY OPENS CASE Prosecution Briefly Outlines Evi- dence Against Haywood. MANY CRIMES ARE ALLEGED Attorney for State Declares That “Inner Circle” of Western Federa- tion of Miners Is Guilty of Scores of Murders Besides the One at Bar. Boise, Ida., June 6—William D. Haywood, accused of the murder of Governor Frank Steunenberg, has heard the elaboration of the state’s charge against him and the first wit- ness has taken the stand to give tes- timony against him. James H. Haw- ley made the statement and its burden was that an “inner circle” of the Western Federation of Miners planned and procured the murder of Frank Steunenberg as one of the steps in a farreaching conspiracy that embraced many murders. The statement con- sumed only an hour and twenty min- lists of the winning numbers were printed in Mobile, Ala., and from there shipped to the various state agents throughout the country. The printing establishment at Wilmington was raided in the spring of 1906 and plates from which the tickets were printed, together with considerable matter re- lating to- the lottery Dusiness, seized. The government was not at that time able to establish a conspiracy case, but in January, 1907, the printing es- tablishment at Mobile was raided and certain packages which had been shipped from that city were seized at Atlanta, Ga., after they had crossed the state line. With the evidence thus obtained the government secured indictments against those who entered a plea of guilty, together with a few others. DEMURRER IS OVERRULED. Great Northern Must Stand Trial on Charge of Rebating. New York, June 5—The demurrer interposed by the Great Northern Rail- way company to indictments charging the granting of rebates was overruled by Judge Holt in the United States court. The court holds that although J. H HAWLEY. utes and was delivered to a crowded courtroom without attempt at orator- ical effort. It met a fire of objections from the defense, first against the as- sertion of Mr. Hawley that the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners were responsible for “scores of mur- ders” and next against the charge that the contract upon %hich the indict- ments were based was made prior to the passage of the Elkins act it was not completed until after the act went into effect. This, he rules, would be sufficient, if {he charges are proven, to place the company on defense at a final hearin; Four Churches Damaged by Wind.

Superior, Wis,, June 5.—The first day of the convention of the grand lodge of Wisconsin I. O. O. F. opened most auspiciously. The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs were welcomed to the city by Mayor Linley, after which a short business session was held. The grand lodge degree was conferred upon 168 candidates and as many more will take the degree later, A big delegation arrived during the morning and there are over 1,000 strangers in the city. Considered by the Cabinet. Washington, June 5.—It is under- stood that the matter of the prosecu- tion of the coal carrying railroads charged with violation of the Sherman anti-trust act was considered at the day’s cabinet meeting. The question was gone into fully and, it is believed, as already stated, that the department of justicé will soon take steps to bring the matter into the courts. L et = An Epitaph. 1n a little churchyard near Llanymy- nech, Wales, is a tombstone with these lines upon it: In crossing o'er the fatal bridge John Morgan he was slain, But it was not by mortal hand, But by a rallway train. John Morgan was the huntsman to the Tanatside harriers and paid the capital penalty for taking a short cut atong the Cambrian line. Intelligent Strength. It is known that the largest church bells may be set in motion by a man or even a boy who pulls the ropes at- tached to them at proper and regular intervals, even when their weight of metal is so great that the strongest man could scarcely move them sensibly if-he did not apply his strength in de- terminate periodical intervals.—Helm- holtz. He Did What He Could. “} hope my little Tommy has taken to heart mamma's talk of last night about charity and usefulness,” sald a fond mother. “How many acts of kind- ness has he done? How many hearts has my Tommy made grateful and glad?’ Her Tommy replied: 2 “I’'ve done a whole lot of good, mi 1 gave your new hat to a beggar wofn- an, and I gave the cook’s shoes to a Iit- tle girl in busted rubbers what I seen on the street, and I gave a poor lnmq shoestring seller pa’s black evening | sult, the open front one that he hi y ever wears.” the great conspiracy extended back to the infancy of the federation. Reviews Steunenberg Murder. In beginning his address Mr. Haw- ley briefly went over the events im- mediately preceding the death of for- mer Governor Steunenberg, whom he described as one of the foremost fig- ures of the state of Idaho. He told also of the positions held by Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone in the West- ern Federation of Miners. He said that Harry Orchard, who is said to have confessed to placing the bomb which blew Governor Steunenberg into eternity, was also a member. “It is our purpose,” the leading ai- torney for the state went on, “to show that the death of Steunenberg was the result of a conspiracy, an understand- ing and collusion between the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners and other persons.” Mr. Hawley then went into the for- mation of the Western Federation of Miners. The executive committee, he explained, was given almost absolute control of the body, but a few men | being in command of the destinies of the big organization. He said- the rank and file of the organization knew little of what was going on among these few men and were guiltless of the crimes alleged. E “But we will show,” he said, “that the leaders of this organization have been responsible not only for the death of Steunenberg but scores of others besides.” Mr. Darrow, for the defense, object- ed to this statement, declaring that the death of scores of others had noth- ing to do with the case at bar. His objection was overruled. Doings of the “Inner Circle.” “I shall not go outside the record,” declared Mr. Hawley. “Our object will be to show that from the very inception of the Western Federation of Miners there has existed a con- spiracy among its leaders—its ‘inner circle’—the object of which was not only to perpetuate their own power and control the Western Federation of Miners but of -the governmental functions of those sections of the coun- try wherein the members of the union were employed. “The leaders have employed des- perate criminals from time to time to do away with those who may have been selected for one reazon or an- other for disappearance an: ran counter to their intc: osts. Mr. Darrow again objected to the remarks of the prosecuting attorney, but was overruled. 2 Mr. Hawley said that he would prove that the “inner circle” of the Western Federation of Miners was responsible for the death of Arthur Collins at Tel- luride and of many other people in Colorado and elsewhere. He charged the blowing up of the Cripple Creek (Colo.) depot, causing the death of fourteen people, to the direct instiga- tion of Haywood. He said that Orchard and Adams committed this and other crimes on the specific request of Hay- wood. The first witnesses called testified to the death of Governor Steunenberg, the presence of Orchard in the vicin- ity and his subsequent arrest for the murder. ELIOT MAKES STATEMENT. Corrects Public Interpretation of Re- cent.RoO!evelt\Speech. Boston, June b5.—In an interview President Charles W. Eliot of Har- vard university stated that President Roosevelt was not thinking of officially joining Harvard at the conclusion of his term of office as president. The recent utterance of the president at Lansing, Mich,, before the Harvard assoclation had been interpreted in Bume quarters as meaning that Pres- ident Roosevelt would be connected officlally with the university when he retires from the presidency. President Eliot said: “In his address last week President Roosevelt stated that inside of one vear and eleven months he hoped to be ‘one of them again,’ by which I take it that he simply meant that at the expiration of his term as pres- ldent he would be able to again-take an active part in the alumni work at Harvard. “I do not think that he intended in the least to give the impression that he expected to be in any way an offi- clal in the institution, or that he was even thinking of being a member of the corporation or the board of over- seers. His remark was informal and he was looking forward to the time when he would have the leisure to work actively in Harvard’s behalf.” WILL PROTEST TO CONGRESS Objections to New Tariff Arrangement With Germany. Washington, June 5.—Indications point to a lively protest being made when congress convenes next winter against the new tariff agreement with Germany. Visiting statesmen do not hesitate to criticise the agreement as & usurpation of the functions of con- gress by the executive branch of the government and announce that they intend to have the matter thoroughly looked ‘into at the first opportunity, which will not be until when the next session opens. The energetic protests that were voiced all the time the treaty was pending by the business interests against making concessions to German exporters in the matter of valuations and invoicing have been presented to the members of congress all over the country and they have been called upon to act. Broadly stated, the proposition is that the secretary of state and secre- tary of the treasury have made an arrangement and framed a regulation which virtually nullifies in the case of one conntry the tariff which congress has enacted. FOR ILLEGAL SEALING. American Revenue Cutter Seizes Brit- ish Vessel. Washington, June 5.—The secretary of the treasury has received a tele- gram from Captain Ainsworth of the revenue cutter Rush stating that he had seized the British sealing schoon- er Charlotta G. Cox, which was found illegally catching seals in Fairweather grounds off Alaska. The Cox had sev- enty-seven fur sealskins on board. The department has directed the comman- der of the Rush to deliver the Cox to the British authorities at the nearest ance with the joint regulations of the two governments in case of seizure. The Rush also reported the presence of Japanese sealers in the same vicin- ity with a large number of sealskins on board. The Japanese sealers, how- ever, are not subject to seizure out- side of territorial waters. Brutally Beaten by Robber. Minneapolis, June b5.—Mrs. Eliza- beth Ferguson, who conducts a small store at 44 Central avenue, was set upon by a man who came into her store to rob it and beaten into uncon- sciousness with a catsup bottle.
