e ——————— e “The Whole Damm Famly.” That laughable comedy taken from the celebrated cartoon which has been so popular the past season, has been put into a play and will be produced by the Nobles’ Theatre Co. at their pavilion theatre tonight. The play is a clean, moral comedy of society life in New York. The laughable situations that befall the gay society man who marries into the Damm Family, affords enough amusement to keep one laughing continuously for three hours. The play has a plot and a story which is interesting in the extreme. The characters are all comedy ones, not a serious line in the entire play, buta comedy, plain and simple, written for laughing purposes only. The Nobles Co. is considered the best dramatic organization that has visited Bemidji, and they are cer- tainly worthy of a packed house tonight for the “Whole Damm Family.” Notice for Bids.

STRIKERS DISPUTE CLAIM Deny That Any Union Men Have Ap- plied for Reinstatement and Express the Greatest Confidence in the Out- come of the Struggle. New York, Aug. 1 .—At the general offices of the twq telegraph companies it was said that every hour was bring- ing them nearer to normal traflic con- ditlons. Business was moving to all parts of the country over clear wires and no difficulty was experienced in handling everything offered. “The strike is over,” declared Rob- ert C. Clowry, president and general manager of the Western Union. “We are having applications from the strik- COLONEL B. 0. CLOWRY. ers, but we are turning them down. ‘We are filled up and cannot place them.” President Clowry also said.that there was no trouble over the question of railroad wires and none was antic- ipated. The Associated Press is moving its report under steadily improved con- ditions. Service has been resumed at several additional points. The local officérs of the union still express confidence in the outcome and dispute the company’s claim that business is being handled satisfactor- ily. They say they are receiving con- stant additions to their ranks and deny that any union men have applied for reinstatement to either the West- | ern Union or the Postal. * Attorney General Jackson has ar- rived in New York and will meet a committee of the Telegraphers’ union, who will present their contention that the two telegraph companies have for- feited their charters in this state by failing to maintain the required effi- clency of service. Mr. Jackson de- clined to express himself concerning the matter. ROOSEVELT WILL {EEP OUT Strike Messages Referred to Labor Commissioner Neill. Oyster Bay, L. I, Aug. 13.~—Presi- dent Roosevelt will not concern him- self personally with the telegraphers' strike, according to the best informa- tion obtainable here. Several appeals to the president to take some action have been received at the executive office from boards of trade and commercial bodies, similar to that formulated Tuesday by the Chi- cago board of trade. Each empha- sized the importance of direct action by the president. The communications have been re- ferred to Commissioner of Labor Neill, but it is understood that no in- structions or recommendations have been forwarded ‘to him. Mr. Nelll, it is stated here, has as yet made no re- port to the president. The impres- slon is given that in Mr, Neill's ef- forts the administration considers that the limit of its authority is being exercised. . TRANSACT LITTLE BUSINESS Telegraph Companies Reopen Offices on Chicago Board of Trade. Chicago, Aug. 15.—The Postal and ‘Western Union Telegraph companies bave reopened their offices on the board of trade, but transacted little business. The companies declared, however, they should be able to im- prove conditions later in the day. The attempts at arbitration by Com- missioner Neill and other outside par- ties have up to the present time been without re: ALTON IMMUNITY CASE. Bonaparte Will Confer With Distriot Attorneys. Washington, Aug. 1. —Attorney General Bonaparte stated during the day that he expected to have a con- ference Monday next with District Attorney Sims, former District Attor- ney Morrison and Mr. Wilkerson on the subject of the Chicago and Alton cases and that until he had held such a conference no statement in regard to the matter involved could, of course, be made. He sald he under- stood that certain testimony and state- ments were to be presented to him and would receive careful examination and consideration. Attorney General Bonaparte was asked if Judge Landis had replied to his letter informing.him that Attorney Morrison had made to the Chicago and Alton officials the promise of im- munity in consideration of their fur- nishing evidence in the Standard Oil company’s case. He réplied that he had not heard from Judge Landis. “It may be noted, too,” he added, “that Judge Landis did mot publish my letter to him or that of District Attorney Morrison to me. Those let- ters state the attitude of the depart- ment of justice in the case of the Chi- cago and Alton immunity matter as we understand it now. “I can say that since I have occu- pled this position I never have agreed fo"grdnt Tmminity ‘to anyone~ The promise In question was made during a\former administration of this de- partment. That Attorney Morrison gave the promise there {8 no doubt and that the attorney general at that time (Mr, Justice Moody) was cognl- zant of It is quite certain.” —_— SUIT CASE FILLED WITH CASH 8Sixteen-Year-Old Bank Robber Finally Captured. Oldtown, Me., Aug. 1i—Having In his possession a new dress suit case stuffed with new $10 gold certificates and new treasury notes, amounting in all to $4,700, Winfield Marson, aged sixteen, formerly a clerk in the Chico- pee National bank at Springfield, Mass.,, was arrested in the town of Bradley, two miles from here, on a charge of stealing $5,000 from the bank on July 29. Marson came to Bangor on the steamer Camden July 31. He met a man named Charles W. Livermore at the pier and asked to be driven up the river into the sporting country. Liv- ermore took him to his home at Brad- ley and agreed to take him as a board- er for a short time. Marson continued to stay after Mr. Livermore had told him he must go and this together with the display of considerable money by Marson led to suspicion being aroused ~against the young man. The author- itles at Oldtown were notified and it was learend Margon was wanted by the police of Springfield for the al- leged theft of $5,000 from the Chico- pee National bank. " LIQUOR LAW ILLEGAL. Court Renders Important Decision in North Dakota Case. Grand Forks, N, D, Aug. 1(—Judge Templeton of this city has decided in a Bottlneau liquor seizure case that the law providing for the seizure and confiscation of liquor where found in quantities indicating that it is to be used for illegal sale is unconstitution- al. The decision of the court was made in a case of the Great Northern Rallway company vs. Sheriff McKin- non of Bottineau. June 29 shipments were made from Minnesota points of forty-seven kegs of malt and beer .to Bottineau parties. Judge Templeton directs that the goods be returned to the railway com- pany without delay. REFORM FORCES WIN. 8Supporters of Graft Prosecution Vic- torious in Frisco Primaries. San Francisco, Aug. 1'—The pri- mary election in this city resulted in a sweeping victory for - the Repub- lican league, or Ryan ticket, which stood for support of the bribery graft prosecution and the present mayor. The regular Democrats, or McNabe ticket, was victorious and will control the nominating convention by a large majority. The better element of the Union Labor party cast a majority of their votes in favor of McCarthy and the Schmitz organization. Whether for- mer Mayor Schmitz’ friends will go so far as to renominate him is prob- lematical. BIG PLANT THREATENED. 8t. Paul Twine Factory Badly Dam- aged by Fire. St. Paul, Aug. 1i.—The Internation- al Flax Twine plant at Hazel Park, valued at $1,000,000, was partially de- stroyed by a fire which for a time threatened total destruction. Only the stubborn strensth of & two:foot fire wall and the desperate fighting of the firemen saved the plant. " The-loss is estimated at $80,000, but it 1s probable that later figures will swell the amount. The fire raging in highly combusti- ble material and fanned by a high wind, was a hard one to fight and half a dozen firemen were overcome by smoke and exhaustion, HELD ON MURDER CHARGE North Dakota Man Accused of Kllling His Nephew. Lisbon, N. D; Aug 15 —With all as- persion on the good name of his young wife cleared away and the be- lief dawning In the public mind that the evidence against himself s not as strong as was at first belleved, E. S. Lovelace of Fort Ransom is lodged in the county jail under a ruling- by Judge Thomas of the county court that Qe be-held for trial at the regular term of the district court. Lovelace has had a four days’ hear ing on the charge of having murdered his nephew, Willlam Lovelace, on the unight of March 8. ALABAMA RATE FIGHT. State Offitials Enjoined by Federal Judge Jones. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 1€.—An in- Junction has been procured by the Louisville and Nashville 'Railroad company from Judge Jones of the United States court restraining the state from enforcing the commodity freight rate law and the 23-cent pas- senger rate law until the federal courts have passed on the validity of these acts. Every sheriff in Alabama and every solicitor are restrained from arresting or indicting employes of the company who violate the terms of the acts. This is a challenge to Governor Comer, who recently announced that he would arrest and prosecute every railroad which violated the laws de- spite the action of the federal courts. WANTS PARCEL POST. Postmaster General Talks of Reforms He Will Recommend. New York, Aug. 15.—Postmaster General Meyers, in an interview here, spoke at length about the postal serv- ice, outlining several reforms which he will recommend to congress. The chief of these is the establishment of a parcels post, which probably will be limited to ten pounds. % 3 The postmaster general i3 also con- sidering a postal savings bank, re- duced postal rates between the Unit- ed States and countrles with direct steamship communication and' the in- troduction of postage stamps slot ma- chines. 5 MARKE 1S FEVERS COPPER LEADS THE DECLINE New York Central Goes Below Par for First Time In Ten Years—Ab- sence of Failures One of the Reas- suring Features. New York, Aug. 1f.—Another sharp break in the prices of stocks char- acterized the opening of the stock market, following the lead of the Lon- don market, where the prices of Amer- ican stocks slumped on the announce. ment of the increase in the Bank of England’s rate of interest. Amalga- mated Copper was again the leader of the downward movement, scoring an initial drop of 3% points. Its first sale was at 66. The Pacific railroads shared in the losses of the other lead- ers. The breaks were promptly fol- lowed by recoveries of a point in most of the active leading stocks, but the undertone was extremely feverish. For the first time in ten years the price of New York Central went be- low par, being quoted at 99%, a de- cline of 1%. It quickly recovered. Amalgamated Copper was sald to be affected by the weakness in the metal tone. After early recovery the market took another sharp plunge downward, but a rally succeeded immediately. The fact that the usual settlements of the transactions of the previous day were made by brokers without a failure had a reassuring effect upon the market. A number of the market leaders, including St. Paul, Union Pa- cific and Reading, advanced a point or more over the closing prices of the previous day. The scene on the stock exchange during the morning demoralization was of the wildest excitement. The gallery was crowded with spectators. With a cessation of heavy liquida- tion after the early hours of tradjng prices began to rise sharply and trad- ers began to buy stocks in larger quantities. This buying forced opera- tors on the short side to scurry to cover their commitments and when the stock market closed the swing was strongly upward, with the prices, of standard -securities anywhere from 2 to 5 points from the extreme low point made eatly in the day. Increases Its Discount Rate. London, Aug. 1..—The directors of the Bank of England have raised the bank’s discount rate from 4 to 4% per cent, owing tothe monetary situation on the Continent and New York and the ‘anxiety of American houses to place finance bills here, which is tak- en to indicate possible gold shipments to New York in the near future. WATCHING EVERY MOVE. Government Sples in Employ of Big Corporations. Chicago, Aug. 16.—The Record-Her- ald says: Secret service agents of the United States department of justice, working through the bureau of corporations, are said to be on the payrolls of all the big raflway cofporations and trust combinations in the country. In Chieago alone it is said there are at least 150 special men who . are working for railroads and for pack- inghouse companies and are watching @very move that is made with a view of ascertaining whether the corpora- tlon laws are observed in letter and spirit. - While no proof {s obtainable as to the presence of these spylng employes in.several instances men who have been suspected have been removed from their positions on the ground that they were in the employ of the government as secret spies. \One of the officials of this end of the department of justice when asked if such an army was at work for the government sald: “If it werc so 1 could not tell. I know of cases where men have lost their positions unjustly from falling under suspicion. I have heard the statement made before, but I shall neither afirm nor demy it. If such work {8 done agents of the bureau of corporations are those most likely to be engaged in it.” IMPOSE $5,000,000 FINE. Venezuelan Courts Convict New York Asphalt Company. Caracas, Venezuela, Aug. 1)—An- nother chapter in the controversy be- tween the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company and the Venezuelan government ended during the day When the civil court of first instance found the company guilty of having extended assistance to the Malos rev- olution directed against President Cas- tro and fined it $5,000,000. This sum 18 the estimated cost of putting down the revolutfon. STATE "WILL INVESTIGATE. _ Labor Commissioner to Visit Minne- sota Iron Range. St. Paul, Aug. 16.—It is announced by the state executlve department that Labor Commissioner Williams has been instructed to make an in- quiry into the use of deputy sherifts on the fron range who are not resi- f dents of the state. Complaints regarding the presence of armed outsiders in the strike towns are still being recelved by Governor Johnson, but Private Secretary Day says that investigation so far has brought nothing to light that would sustain the charges. A number of the storles have been run down without being confirmed. - Refused Message for Himself. Des Molunes, Aug, 16.—William Rey- nolds, a railway telegrapher at Maple- ton, refused to take a telegram from a nonunion operator at Cedar Raplds. Later he was called by long distance telephone and told that his mother was dead at Cedar Rapids, it being the message he had refused to Tecelve by CHABERLAING g A few doses of this remedy will in- variably cure an ordinary attack of diarrheea.
