The St. Paul yesterday morning article to the effect that Governor Johnson will pay the claimed by W. E. Finnegan, chief of Pioneer Press of contamed an $300 reward the Green Bay police for the arrest of James Wesley, convicted of hav- ing killed N. O. Dahl. The Pioneer Press Article says: “W. E. Finnegan, captain of police at Green Bay, Wisconsin., is entitled to the $500 reward offered by former Gov. S. R. Van Sant for the arrest of the murderer of the Dahls, father rnd daughter, in Bel- trami céunty in 1904. C.S. Jelly, special counsel in the attorney general’s office, yesterday made a ruling to this effect in the case in which a hearing was held before the governor a short time ago. “Mr. Jelley, in his opinion, states that while there may be some technical objections to the allowance of the claim, in fairness and justice it ought to be paid. The arrest was made by Mr. Finnegan at Green Bay about a year after the indictment. The prisoner was taken to Beltrami county, and after an examination discharged. About a year later, however, another indictment was found, and the second arrest was followed by a conviction. It is the opinion of the attorney general that the claim is a just one which should be paid by the state.” It-hardly seems just that Finnegan should receive this money, as it has been shown that the arrest of Wesley the first time was made on instruc- tions from the sheriff of Beltrami county and that the initial arrest had nothing to do with the sub- sequent conviction, which was secured after a second arrest, more than a year afterward.

Their Unceasing Work Keaps s Strong and Healthy. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, wnen unhealthy some part of this impure matter is lett in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms—pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility,drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys, James Bridges, living on Third St., Bemidji, Minn,, says: ¢ am so glad to have the opportunity of recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills to others, as I know them to be a reliable remedy. At the time I began their use, I was feeling very miserable, There was a severe pain in the small of my back, the kidney secreticns were dark and unnatural in appearance, and I had great pain while passing them. | saw Doan’s Kidney Pills highly recommended for such com- plaints and procored a box at the Owl Drug Store. They helped me so much that 1 procured a second supply and the relief I received was wonderfull. 1am now entirely free from pain and my kidneys are more normal in action.” For sale by all dealers.

President of Milwaukee Road Says Ex- penditures Must Be Restricted. Milwaukee, Sept. 2 .—“We expect to complete our line to the coast and the Western terminals by the middle of 1909, sald President Earling at the conclusion of the annual meeting of the Milwaukee directors here. “The line will be operated so far as Butte by February of next year. There are already small sections of it in opera- tion in a local way and as fast as they are connected the operation of the line as a whole will be commenced. “I do not think present financial conditions are such that new enter- prises are practicable.- If the Milwau- kee road had not financed its trans- continental line before this we would find it Impossible to build it. The at- tacks upon corporations have made capital timid and today no ome can obtain a hearing who wishes to launch a new enterprise, All expenditures are being restricted as a result and the money market is extremely tight. 1 do not look for a serfous panie, but I do believe the stringency will con- securing such a great organization. — S N tinue for syme time.” el 2 - tory injunction taking out the 2-cent ‘Dassenger fare prescribed by the leg- islature and the merchandise rates ordered by the rallroad and warehouse commission on Sept. 6, The effect of Heroic Efforts Being Made to In-{ the order as & whole is to leave mat- o ters in status quo pending a decision duce Emigrants to Return. on the merits.

But there is a large number of Norse- men in America who would return if assured of equally good economic and socinl conditions in the land of their birth. It is to this class of people that my appeal mainly will be made. Emigration Must Be Checked. “It 1s absolutely essential to the life and continued prosperity of Norway that emigration be checked and that as many as possible return, carrylng with them the practical experience they have gained in America. ‘The government now is engaged in devising a plan by which farmers may take homesteads as in America. This is one of the things that is be- ing done in an effort to improve condi- tlons for agricultural workers. Follow- Ing the dissolution of the union with Sweden and the election of King Haa- kon great impetus has been given to manufacturing, mining and industrial enterprises of all sorts.” Colonel Magnus will speak on his mission in Zion Lutheran church. After the meeting he will leave for Byron, Minn., after which he will make a tour among the Norwegians in the Northwest. JOHNSON AND TARIFF REFORM Washington Correspondent Democratic Plans. Chicago, Sept. 2.—The Record-Her- ald’s Washington correspondent wires the following: Governor John A. Johnson of Min- nesota as the candidate, tariff revision as the paramount issue, a whirlwind contest for the capture of the Upper Mississippi Valley and Northwestern states as the plan of campaign. Thése are the latest suggestions pointing a way to Democracy for next year’s presidential fight, put forward from sources that are undismayed by the announcement that Willlam J. Bryan soon will declare his candidacy for a third nomination at the hands of his party. Some of the staunchest friends of Mr. Bryan believe that the harmoniz- ing of all elements under his candi- dacy is Impossible in the light of the bitterness engendered during the cam- paigns he led in 1896 and 1900 and still showing itself under the unfortu- nate leadership of Parker in 1904. They look to Mr. Bryan to see the sit- uation as they see it now and, believ- ing in his sincerity when he says he does not want to run again unless there be an overwhelming demand from the party, hope he may finally throw the weight of his unquestioned influence to another standard bearer.
