William Remington, who has been a resident of Bemidji during the past six years, died last evening at 9 o’clock, after an illness which was not considered as being serious, and which was not apparent until about an hour before death. Deceased was about 38 years old. Remington, who was a common laborer, complained at 6 o’clock last evening of not feeling well, and was taken to the hospital. A doctor was summoned and it was found that Remington was affected with an acute attack of pneumonia. He grew rapidly worse and not much more than an hour after being taken to the hospital, breathed his last. Remington was a native of Detroit, Mich., and an effort is being made to locate his relatives, that they may be notified of his death. The body of Remington will be kept until some word is received from Michigan as to what disposition to make of the remains. ‘‘A Pair of Country Kids.” The above well known play will be at the Opera House for one night only, Tuesday, July 23, and to lovers of comedy this will be a treat. Hi and Trizie the “Kids” are a lively pair and keep things lively during the evening and are supported by a first class company of artists. All special scenery is carried and the play has a consistent plot and enough sensation to relieve the audience from being bored by too much comedy. Numerous specialties are introduced. Celebrated Burn’s Birthday. A “bunch” of staunch descend- ants of old Scotland enjoyed an outing at the head of the lake. Charles Campbell was ‘“‘chaperone” of the party. They thoroughly enjoyed the hours spent among the pines and the enthusiasm ran so high that the patriotic spirit took possession of them to the extent that they celebrated. “Bobby” Burn’s birthday in a manner that would have greatly delighted the “‘bard,” had he been with the company. ‘‘Held Hands,” at Brainerd. Clarence Hill returned Saturday evening from Brainerd, where he had been called because of the illness of his mother. The latter has improved. In speaking of Mr. Hill’s visit at Brainerd the Daily Dispatch stated that he was “‘shaking hands” with old acquaintances,which provokes A. L. Wyler to wager that Clarence was “holding hands,” and their possessors were not of the masculine gender, either. Is Hot in Chicago. James L. George, the local man- ager for J. W. Irwin, returned Satur- day evening from a business trip to Chicago. - Mr. George states that the weather conditions in the “Windy City” at the present time are anything but pleasant, the heat being almost u bearable. He was compelled to change underclothing every half hour, and even then was in a con- tinual drenching from perspiration.

Number of Casualties Occur at the Korean Capital. 8Sooul, Korea, July 22.—A company of Korean troops escaped from the’ barracks without their officers and at- tacked the police station on the main street at the Great Bell, After firing several volleys they soattered, continuing a desultory firing and attacking individual Japanese. They were joined by the populace, who used stones and clubs. The correspondent of the Assoclated Press noted seven Japanese and four Koreans dead and three Japanese and two Koreans wounded. A heavy raln followed the outbreak and was largely instrumental in dis- persing the orowds. All trafic has heen stopped “and the gunshops are guarded. The police report twenty-five Japa- nese were killed and wounded during the day. The casualties among the Koreans {8 unknown. An official Japa- nese report attributes the shooting to Korean soldiers who could not be con- trolled by their officers. The nolse of the shooting and the report of the casualties greatly alarmed the emperor and he sent by the minister of justice a long, apolo- getlo message to Marquis Ito to the effect that he regretted that his abdi- cation had caused disturbances and he therefore oalled on Marquis Ito to prevent further trouble. Later the rioters surrounded the premier's residence, but were dls- persed by the Japanese police, with the assistance of the artillery. The premier sought refuge in the palace, the other ministers going to the Japa- nese residence general. Says Appropriation Is Valid. Bt. Paul, July 22.—Attorney Gen- eral Young, in an opinlon, holds that the $400,000 road and bridge appro- priation made by the last legislature is constitutional. The opinion is in answer to a request from State Au- ditor Iverson regarding the legality of the law and that official says he will now pay out the money to the coun- tles on demand. The opinion, he says, is sufficient guidance for him: MAY EXCEED FORTY Death List in Terrible Wreck on the Pere Marquette Road. FULLY ONE HUNDRED INJURED Exsursion Train Carrying Hundreds of People Had Right of Way but Freight Disregarded Orders and Frightful Collision Results. Salem, Mich,, July 22.—Twenty-nine exourslonists were killed and 100 were injured, many of them fatally, when a Pere Marquette excursion train of eleven coaches from Ionia, carrying nearly 1,000 employes of the Pere Marquette shops there and their fam- {lies, was run into by a local freight train at Washburn crossing, about two miles east of here. The first three coaches in the long excursion train were telescoped and it was in the smoking car, which headed the traln, that the grecatest loss of life ocourred. Three more cars after those which were telescoped were wrecked by the collision. The two trains met in a cut where the banks are ten feet high above the tracks and the out was piled with wreckage from the ralls to its top for a distance of several hundred feet. The passenger train, General Superintendent Trump of the Pere Marquette says, had been @iven the right of way and the freight had been ordered to stay at Plymouth until it passed. The responsibility for ths wreck, Mr. Trump sald, was upon the conductor of the froight train, who did not obey his orders. Although there were scores of women and ohildren on the wrecked train qomparatively few of them were fa- tally injured. The shock of the col- lisfon was so tremendous that a num- ber of passengers In the five cars which were not wrecked were thrown through the open windows beside which they were sitting. Messengers ‘were sent for help to all the surround- ing villages and farmers for miles around the scene hurried to assist in the resoue work. A special train with wreckers, physicians and nurses and equipped with surgical supplies was sent out from Detroit and arrived about tw» hours after the collision. Uninjured Work Heroically. Ag soon as the uninjured passengers had recovered from their panic and shock they began delving into the wreckage to extricate the unfortunates buéled there. Fear that fire might be- started by the wrecked engines im- pelled them to greater speed, but for- tunately this fear was not realized. The dead and wounded were carried to the grass beside the tracks, while such emergency help as was possible was glven to the more seriously in- jured. Farmers brought bedding and bandages, food and liquor from their homes nearby and greatly assisted in the work. A number of the injured are 8o terribly hurt that their death 1s expected and it is feared that the death list will finally total nearly forty. In addition to the 100 people who were severely Injured there are scores more who were cut and bruised by being thrown about in the uninjured cars when the trains collided. Nearly every person in the first half dozen coaches needed some medical atten- tion. The most severely hurt were first looked after by the surgeons, Their wounds were hastily dressed and hemorrhages stopped, after which they were oarried to the wrecking train from Detroit and laid on cots to be brought to Detroit hospitals for further treatment. The less seriously hurt walited their turn and when their wounds were dressed most of them returned to the seats in the undam- Wged cars. There, with the blood stiffening on their clothes and ban- dages and their minds horror stricken by the tragedy they had been particl- pants in, they told of their experl- ences. Many of them were so dazed that they had no clear idea of what had happened. Soveral young girls who Rad been sitting beside open win- dows of the rear coaches were hurled through them to the tracks when the trains met— MANY DYING FROM HUNGER Famine Sltuatlon Serlouu in Eastern Jamaica.

New York, July 22.—Cable advices from Havana announce the death of Senora Jnana Quesada, the Cuban Joan of Arc, at the age of seventy years. Senora Quesada was the best known ‘woman in the island. She came of a good family in Camaguey, but despite the comforts and luxury which her circumstances gave her she chose to ald her countrymen in the fleld in the ten years’ war against Spain. Senora Quesada was only one of many Ama- zons who wielded a machete in the struggle, but her bravery and the standing of her family made her the best known. She served throughout that long, hard campaign under the command of General Maximo Gomez. Again, In the revolution agalnst Spain that be- gan in 1895 and ended in 1898 with the overthrow of the Spanish rule, Senora Quesada, though then in ad- vanced age, took part in the uprising for “Cuba libre.” MUST REINSTATE PAINTER General Strike of Car Workers Threat: ened on Rock lIsland. Davenport, Ia., July 22.—Threc hun- dred car workers at the Rock Island shops In Davenport, Ia., and Silvia, I1L, are on strike and a vote has been taken authorizing a strike of shop- men on the whole Rock Island system if a painter discharged at Silvie some weeks ago is not . reinstated. The painter was discharged Dbecause he was reported to have removed his Jumper and overalls before the whistle blew. The report was made by a foreman. The painter’s story that he had not worn a jumper or overallg the afternoon in queetion is supported by the Carmen’s union. It is stated that the vote for a strike of union carmen on the entire systenu, if the painter’s reinstatement is not granted, was nearly unanimous. VOTE TO RETURN TO WORK Strike of Telegraphers at San Fran cisco Ends. Oakldnd, Cal, July 22.—The Teleg: raphers’ nnion has voted unanimously to accept the terms of settlement pro- posed by the Western Union and Pos- tal Telegraph companies. According to the terms of the compromise the telegraphers will return to work and then both' telegraph companies will receive a cominittee of arbitration to discuss and settle matters affecting the telegraphers. The following mes- sage was addressed by President Small to Secretary Russell of the Commer- clal Telegraphers’ union of Chicago: “The vote to accept was 103 to 4. All strikers are to be re-employed and the question of increase in wages to be taken up after resumption of work. All future grievances to be arbi- trated.” DUBLIN CASTLE GEMS. Sensational Stories In Connection With Their Theft. Dublin, July 22,—Sensational rumors are current here in regard to the theft from Dublin castle a few weeks ago of a portion of the state regalia valued at $250,000. Hints are now being thrown out that the gems may soon be “discovered” without any explana- tlon as to where they have been or who returned them. It is said they have Leen deposited as security for a loan and the name of the alleged de- positor is freely mentioned in private, with hints of a tragic social and semi- ‘political scandal. It is of course im- possible to verify these reports, but they are heing freely circulated in eir- cles whose channels of information undoubtedly are good. ATTACKS ON ROYALTY. 8igns of Unrest in Portugal Roumanta. i London, July 22.—Dispatches from Lisbon snd Bucharest bring stories of royalty being stoned while motoring. While Queen Marie of Portugal and her second son, Prince Manuel, were automobiling they were stoned by hoodlums, Her majesty was struck on the arm, but was not seriously hurt, The culprits escaped.

LATTER RESUMES ARGUMENT Argues the Truth of Orchard’s Stary on the Stand and Declares the De- fense Was Afraid to Produce Either Pettibone or Adams. Boise, Ida., July 22.-—Continuing his argument and analyzing of the evi- dence In the Haywood case J. H. Haw- ley took up the Orchard story of his experiences and criminal record in Colorado, his trip to Wyoming and the attempt on the life of Fred Bradley of San Francisco. ‘With the utmost deliberation the leading counsel for the state charged willful perjury against several wit- nesses. He argued the truth of Or- chard’s story and gaid that two men in particular might have been brought to contradict him, but that the defense was afrald to produce either Pettibone ‘or Adams and he sald Adams had been brought to Boise from jail in \Sho- shone county fn order that the defense might use him as a witness. “That statement is false and counsel knows it,” promptly shouted Clarence Darrow, for the defense. Hawley took a step closer to the de- fense table and, shaking his finger close to Darrow’s face, he said: “When counsel says that he utters a dellberate falsehood.” The atmosphere here was charged with danger. , Sheriff Hodgins stood up alert and his deputies drew in closer, but Judge Wood, with a sharp command and insistent warning, patched up a temporary peace. Mr. Hawley first devoted his atten- tlon to the alleged attempt to wreck a train on the Florence and Cripple Creek railroad. This was one of the incldents of the Colorado labor trou- bles testified to by Harry Orchard. Immaterial to the Issue. “This matter came out in Orchard’s testimony,” said Mr. Hawley, “but it was absolutely immaterial to the issue here involved. But the defense has taken this incident and has tried to huild up out of it a conspiracy on the part of the mine owners against the Western Federation of Miners. Or- chard admitted that he had reported the alleged attempt to detectives in the employ of the Mine Owners’ as$o- ciation and to the railroad. The de- fense has brought two wonmen wit- nesses here to testify that they saw Orchard In one of the detective’s room on many occasions. “Orchard undoubtedly was there try- Ing to secure money from all the sources he could and I am not going to defend him for his double dealing in taking money from both the Western Federation of Miners and the railroad company. I am not here to paint Harry Orchard in anything but his true colors. There is but one claim we make for him and that is that he has told you the truth. This fact has been indelibly fixed by all the circum- stances in the case.” Taking up the matter of the at- tempted assassination of Governor Peabody Mr. Hawley repeated much of the testimony of Orchard as to the plans he and Steve Adams-laid to kill the governor. Orchard’s testimony was amply corroborated, counsel de- clared. The attorney told of Governor Peabody’s activities in the Colorado troubles and declared that the strong- est motive for his taking off was con- nected with the Western Federation of Miners. DECISION AGAINST DEFENSE Evidence Tending to Show Counter Conspiracy Shut Qut. Boise, Ida.,, July 22.—The field for argument, both for the prosecution and defense of William D. Haywoed, has been limited by Judge Wood, who in a decision removed from the con- sideration of the jury all evidence bearing on the alleged conspiracy by mine owners and others against the Western Federation of Miners. Judge Wood decided that the de- fense had made no legal connection of the Mine Owners’ assceciation, the Cit- izens’ alliance of Colorado and the Pinkerton detective agency as laying a foundation for the evidence intro- duced to show that the charge against Haywood and his co-defendants is the outcome of a conspiracy to exter- minate the federation. JUDGE HARGIS A FREE MAN -Court Instructs Jury to Return Ver- &ict of Acquittal. Sandy Hook, Ky., July 22.—Judge Moody instructed the jury in the case of James Hargis, on trlal for com- plicity in the assassination of Dr. B. D. Cox, to acquit the prisoner. This is the last case against Hargls for alleged complicity in the Breathitt county crimes and Hargls walked from the courtroom a free man. The judge’s instructions followed the withdrawal from the case of Attorneys Byrd and Jouett for the prosecution, the lawyers stating that the state was- unable to produce its witnesses.

Act quick, Ad- dress Pioneer. Sept. 1. R For the last two months officials of the Harriman lines have been en- deavoring to induce Western coal deal- ers to make their shipments this sum- mer in order to avoid a recurrence of last winter's fuel scarcity. The diffi- culty then in supplying coal to the Waestern states grew partly out of shortage of equipment and partly from the fact. that orders were delayed un- tll weather conditions made freight movement slow and difficult. The Union Pacific therefore took the unusual step of applying to the inter- state commerce commission to be al- lowed to make a reduction in its rate in order to get the co-operation of dealers in shipping fuel now when the lines are In good shape to handle it promptly.
