MINERAL GLAUSE UNJUST ONE TO HOMESTEADERS Commissioner of General Land Office Will Attempt to Have Congress Change Law. Homesteaders who have been putting in two or three of the best years of their life improving their will be interested in the announcement that Commissioner Ballinger of the general land office believes that homesteaders in the states of the west, claims mineral are geiting the worst of it under the present laws and will urge congress next winter to change the laws. Under the present mineral law if a man takes a homestead for agri- cultural purposes and it developes before he secures his final patent, that the land is underlaid with mineral, he loses the homstead, im- provements and all. Many such cases have come to the attention of the land office officials. One man took a home- stead six years ago and improved it highly. He put most of it in culti- vation and spent over $5,000 in erecting buildings on it. He had one more year to live on it before he could get a patent under the home- stead laws. Before the time came to receive a patent the government discovered that the farm was under- laid with coal and the man was deprived of his homestead with all of its improvements, which repre- sented his labor for nearly seven years. Install Pastor at Blackduck. At Blackduck this evening, the Rev. F. J. Barackman, formerly of Thief River Falls, will be officially installed as pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Blackduck, to succeed Rev. A. L. Hall-Quest, who resigned the Blackduck pastor- ate some time ago and left for Mis- souri, The installation of Rev. Barack- man will be quite an event in church circles at Blackduck, and the local congregation is looking forward to a very pleasant time this evening. Rev. S. E. P. White, pastor of the Bemidji Presbyterian church, will deliver the installation sermon. Rev. Neil A. Gilchrist of Crookston, pastor-at-large of the Adams Pres. bytery, will deliver the charge to the people, and Rev. Phillip Schwartz of Red Lake Falls, will charge the pastor. The First Moose. Although several hundred hunters have been in the woods north of here since the opening of the big game season (Nov. 10) pursuing big game, no moose have been shipped to this place or through the city until this morning, when a fine specimen of the “antlered monarch” of the woods was brought into the city from Margie. Dr. R. Turnbull of Fosston was the proud possessor of the big moose, and he had him shipped from this place to Fosston this afternoon. The doctor shot the moose while west of Margie. He had been hunting for several days near Margie and had almost decided to go home empty-handed, when he was fortunate enough to get a shot at the moose. It is said that two other moose were shot in the same locality Monday. Judge Slocum Tied Knot. M. G. Slocum, the rotund local justice of the peace, is.gaining quite a reputation as a tier of knots matri- monial. In fact they have heard of his'tying ability as far north as Big Falls. Indicative of this assertion was a wedding, which was performed at his office this morning, when Edward Larson took unto himself as his wife Miss Anna Anderson, both being from Big Falls. The judge cautioned the groom as to the snares and pitfalls of this wicked world, and with a “God bless you, my friends,” sent the bride and groom on their way rejoicing—and incidentally pocketed the fee allowed by law. Miss Bosard Married. Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Lycan received cards this morning from Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Bosard of Grand Forks, N. D., which announced the mar- riage of Miss Daphne Honore Bosard to Mr. John Jerome Paul Marquette, the marriage having been solemnized on November 9. Miss Bosard is known here, having been a visitor at Grand Forks Bay *‘We Are King” Coming. Walter M. Roles, advance man for ““We Are King,” was in the city city today, arranging with the man- agement of the City Opera House for the appeaiance here Thanks- giving night of that great play. It will be remembered that this play was given here last winter, and it was by far the best fier(ormance seen at the local play house during the season. Bemidji theater-goers should not miss the opportunity to see this excellent performance, on Thanks- giving night. Didn't Get Mates. This noon, the police gathered in a lumberjack who had in his pos- session two driving shoes, which were not mates, and which evidently did not belong to the party who had them. Jens Hanson notified the police that the man was at his place and he gave the name of L. Heddington, and when the shoes were examined it was found that they were ‘‘Chip- pewa” shoes, and that one wasa number 9 and the other a Number 8. He was retained at police head- quarters until the shoes could be identified. Will Inspect Ladies’ Circle. Mrs. Petteplace of Jordon, state president of the Ladies of the G. A. R, will visit Bemidji in her official capacity Thursday, for the purpose of making an official inspection of the Bemidji organization of the Ladies of the G. A. R. ’ The Bemidji Ladies of the G. A. R. have one of the most successful circles in the north half of the state, and it is believed that the visit of Mrs. Petteplace will result in much good to the organization. A large attendance of the members is desired. S Mr. and Mrs. Rhoda Home. Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Rhoda re- turned last night from their wed- ding trip and will make Bemidji their home, occupying - the splendid residence recently purchased from A. Clavin of this city. They report having had a pleasant trip. TO FIGHT VAN, CLEAVE. Federation of Labor Votes Defense Fund Asked For.

FINANCIERS APPROVE IDEA Believed Secretary’s Latest Move Wil Be Successful in Removing Present Stringency and End Necessity for Importation of Gold. New York, Nov. 19.—The announce- ment of the plan of President Roose- velt and Secretary Cortelyou to issue $60,000,000 in Panama bonds and $100,- 000,000 in one-year treasury certifi- cates bearing 3 per cent interest was the chlef topic of discussion in finan- clal circles here. The short term cer- tificates attracted most discussion be- cause of the comparative novelty of such an i8sue in this country. It is the general opinion that the two measures, and especially the offer of the certificates, will draw much money from small hoards, as was the | oase with the popular loan of 1896. It is belleved that these certificates would be acceptable at the Bank of France if it should be necessary to obtain more gold there, according to the plans which were under discussion last week. Some bankers here be- lleve, however, that the issue of the certificates will make it unnecessary to obtain more gold. If the premium on currency is once broken it will change conditions of foreign exchangs so that the profit on gold imports will be reduced or wiped out. Some bank- ers belleve that this will not be an un- mixed evil, because we already have drawn so much gold from Europe. They fear that this gold will be taken back soon under the pressure of high discount rates and the monetary stringency at London, Paris and Ber: lin and they believe that the Amer- ican market should cease to disturb Buropean markets when it.is found that further imports of gold are not required to maintain our position, FINANCIERS ARE PLEASED Cortelyou’s Latest Move Bound to Have Beneficial Results. New York, Nov. 19.—Bankers, cap- italists and financiers here generally approve the action of Secretary Cor- telyou in issuing $50,000,000 of Pan- |’ ama bonds and $100,000,000 of certifi- cates of indebtedness for the relief of the financial stringency. The issue it was the general opinion, is bound to have beneficial results. The issue of temporary receipts, it is expected, will immediately relieve the currency scarcity and banish the premium on cash. The putting out of this government security in small de- nominations is a good move, it is be- lleved, as it will attract from its hid. ing places much of the currency which has been taken out of circulation by timid bank depositors. One sussestion as to the effective | use to which the new issue may be put was made by an International banker. He expressed the opinion that a large proportion of the new bonds would find their way to France and in exchange we would get some of the millions of French gold which the Bank of France has already expressed its willingness to allow to flow toward these shores, provided it had some sort of government guarantee of its security. A partially dissenting view was given by Henry Clews. approves of the issue of the certifi- cates of Indebtedness. Mr. Clews safd: “The issue of $50,000,000 of Panama bonds is a good measure for restora- tlon of confidence, That, with the $65,000,000 we have imported ingold, should give us enough money and more. I question the legality of the ‘certificates of Indebtedness’ and I be- leve their issue is ill advised and may prove very injurlous. We have money enough; what we need is more confidence.” PRICES MOVE UPWARD. Cortelyou’s Action Affects the London 8tock Market. London, Nov. 19.—The official an- nouncement from Washington that treasury certificates to the amount of $100,000,000, bearing interest at 3 per cent, and Panama bonds amounting to $50,000,000 ~would be issued immedi- ately in order to relieve the financial stringency in the United States had an immediate effect on the markets here. Prices promptly moved up: wards, the financiers and members of the stock exchange belleving that Sec- retary of the Treasury Cortelyou’s ac- tlon was bound to in a great measure romove the strain in the money mar- ket. It was thought probable that it ‘would stop the drain of gold from this market and obviate the necessity for a further increase in the Bank of Eng- land’s rate of discount. New Certificates in Demand. St. Louls, Nov. 19.—Former Gov- ernor D. R. Francis was the first sub- #criber for a portion of the 3.per cent treasury certificates at the St. Louls sub-treasury. He subscribed for $500, 000 as soon as the sub-treasury was opened and other financiers followed with subscriptions of various amounts. Total Nearly Seventy Millions. New York, Nov, 19.—The Guarantee Trust company has announced an en- gagement of $1,600,000 for import. This makes the total engagements for the present movement $69,400,000, TEACHER AND.

Madison, Wis., Nov. 19.—Storm Bull, rofessor of steam engineering in the isconsin state university, is dead after an illness of six weeks from can- cer of the stomach.

He was elect- ed mayor of Madison for one year in 1901, Storm Bull was a nephew of Ole Bull, the famous Norweglan vio- lnist. Rate Dispute Is Settled. Montgomery, Ala, Nov., 19.—The Seaboard "Afr Line and the subsidiary line, the Atlanta and Birmingham Air Line, have made an agreement with the governor to withdraw all suits in the Unlted States courts and put Into eftect the state rates on Dec. 1. They make exactly the same trade as that with the Southern, being allowed to| charge 2% cents a mile passenger fares and the mileage rates on freight now on in Georgia. Chicago Milk Prices Advanced.
