SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM COAL SHORTAGE PROBABLE Believed That the Northwest Agaln Will Suffer. 4 Superior, Wis., Nov. 2 /.—That a coal shortage will be experienced by the people of the Northwest during the coming winter is a thing that now is conceded by the coal men of Superior. It is bound to come, and the severity of it will depend upon the weather and the car situation. While coal is being rushed here now as fast as possible, it is not figured that in the short time still remaining before navigation closes there will be enough arrive to make the situation much better than it is now. The car shortage in the East is reported as being as bad as it has been for sev- eral weeks, during which receipts here have been light. Coal has been com- ing here in bunched quantities for the past few days. A large number of cargoes would be received on one day and then days would pass with but few. This bhas caused the belief to spread that coal was being rushed in here in great quantities, but such has not been the actual case. CALL OFF THE STRIKE. Employes of Louisville Railway Com: pany Will Return to Work. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 2}.—The strike of 750 union employes of the Louls- ville Railway company was called off by a vote taken by the men. The men made no conditions, The officials of the company an- nounced that they will employ the strikers who apply as individuals and who have not been implicated in acts of violence during the strike. The strike lasted twelve days and was marked by two serious collisions between sympathizers and the police. The number of persons injured as a result of these clashes {3 estimated at 30 and the number of arrests made totals 100. The strike was caused by friction over the interpretation of an agreement signed after the first strike, which occurred last April. Direct Primary Bill Killed. Springfield, 1ll, Nov. 2 .—The Oglesby direct primary bill, which in- cidentally would have changed the method of choosing Illinois delegates to national political conventions, has been killed by the lower house of the state legislature.

BOTH SIDES LOSE HEAVILY Sanguinary Engagement Between Mo- roccan Tribesmen, Paris, Nov. 2 —A cablegram re. celved here from General Drude, com. mander of the French forces in Mo- racco, recites that a sanguinary en- gagement lasting two days has oc- curred between tribesmen near Ra- bat. On the ome side was a force fighting for Abdel Aziz, the sultan of record, under command of General Bagdani, while on the other was the Chaouia tribe, constituting a column of the army of Mulai Hafid, the sul- tan of the South. During the helght of the battle the Zaida tribesmen, Wwho were fighting for Abdel Aziz, sud- denly went over to the enemy, after Which this sultan’s column was forced to retreat, losing several cannon.

J, Nov. 28—A three-story brick building occupied by the nurses employed in the state in- sane asylum was partially destroyed by fire.

Vessels for Spain’s New Navy, Glasgow, Nov. 28.—It is probable that the first ships of the new Span- Ish navy will be built on the Clyde and it is persistently asserted here that the contracts for two battleships, three cruisers and some smaller craft, at a total cost of between $35,- 000,000 and $40,000,000, already have been signed with Willlam Beardmore & Co., limited.

Des Moines, Nov. 28.—The 3,000 ‘miners who voted unanimously to quit work unless they were paid in cash Instead of clearing house cer- tificates and cash, as the operators proposed, have returned to work.

HEARD HER THREATEN TOKILL 8alt Lake City Man Declares Defend- ant Asserted That Unless the Sen- ator Married Her She “Would Blow His Heatl Off." Washington, Nov. 2 .—Damaging testimony was given agalnst Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, on trial for killing former Senator Arthur M. Brown of Utah in this city last December. Quite a nomber of witnesses were called in rebuttal and all, being asked as to her mental condition, declared that the question of her sanity had not been suggested to them; that she appeared rational and talked co- herently. Mrs. Bradley was very calm during the proceedings. She paid careful at- tention to all that was said on the stand and while looking tired ap- peared to bear up better under the ordeal than has been the case on pre- vious days., Some sensational devel- opments were brought out in the tes- timony. The first witness of the day was Archibald Livingston, former stenog- rapher to Senator Brown, He declared that on Deo. 1, one week before the tragedy, Mrs. Bradley called him on the telephone and said: “So Mr. Brown got away, did he?” Mr. Livingston declared that upon his telling Mrs. Bradley that he did not think Brown would marry her Mrs, Bradley sald: “Well, he'll have to or I'll blow his head oft.” The witness declared that Brown, in the presence of Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Bradley and Colonel Tatlock said he would protect Mrs. Bradley as long as he lived. Mr. Livingston, on cross-examina- tion, said that before Semator Brown left Salt Lake for Washington on Dec. 1 he left with him $200 for Mrs, Brad- ley’s expenses to California, but im- posed the condition on Mrs. Bradley that she should not go to Goldfield or Washington. Witness declared he told Mrs., Bradley many deliberate falsehoods “s0 he and she could get along.” Insisted on Going With Brown, P. P. Christensen, an attorney of Salt Lake, said he knew Mrs. Bradley intimately. He had witnessed a scene at the depot in the summer of 1905 between her and Senator Brown. Mrs. Bradley insisted on going away with Brown and “fairly hung 6n to him.” Brown, he sald, repeatedly repelled her. At this point Justice Stafford halted the trial and directed that a girl eleven years old be required to leave the room with her parents, who aec- companied her. = Soren Cleristensen, also of Salt Lake, testified that on one occasion while in Pocatello, Ida., with Senator Brown Mrs. Bradley appeared suddenly and that Brown chastised her for follow- ing him there. On the same occasion he sald Mrs. Brown appeared and en- gaged in a personal struggle with Mrs. Bradley, clutching her by the throat and at the same time exclaim- ing “Let me kill her.” The witness further stated that at the Pocatello visit Senator Brown de- clared in the presence of Mrs. Brad- ley, Mrs. Brown and himself that he was not the father of Max Brown and that Mrs. Brown upbraided him as a low, vile creature for denying his own child and admitting the fatherhood of bastards. Physiclans who treated Mrs. Brad- ley at the house of detention declared that she was rational at all times, though very nervous. They detected no sepsis in her condition. Three newspaper men testified that in their talks with Mrs. Bradley on the day of the tragedy they found her rational and coherent. Beveral employes of the hotel in which the shooting occurred, including the mald who heard the shot, testified that Mrs. Bradley, while at the hotel, appeared to be well and rational. GREAT EXODUS CONTINUES Eastbound Ocean Liners Unable to Meet Demands. New York, Nov. 2°.—Never since the first ship salled out of New York harbor has there been anything like the present exodus of emigrants from this port. Day by day the crowds clamoring for transportation abroad grow greater, with no prospect of their reduction in numbers. Last week 80,000 steerage passengers were car- rled from New York; this week steam- ship men say the total will reach 50,- 000. The steerage rate was raised frem $21 to $31 in hope of staying the exodus, but without avall, 8ix steamers salled Wednesday and ell were crowded with steerage pas- sengers. The North German Lloyd liner Seylldtz carried 1,950 and the Majestic, Nieuw Amsterdam, Calabria, Bannfo and Venezia at least 1,200 each. All day long the docks in New York, Brooklyn and Hoboken are be- sleged by great crowds of emigrants seeking passage to the old country and the police are having their hands full in managing the crowds. Russian Robbers Secure $75,000. Tula, Russia, Nov. 28.—A band of robbers entered the government pawn- shop in this town, gathered together dlamonds and gold to the value of $76,000 and then made their escaps. MEETS AT ST. 'LOUIS. National Committee of People’s Party in Session. 8t. Louls, Nov. 2 —The natlonal committee of the People’s party met in conference at the Bt. James hotel for the ostensible -purpose of arrang- ing the time and place for holding the nominating convention-of 1908, About thirty were present when the confer- ence was called to order by National Chairman ;James A. Ferris of Joliet, m. st Louls. Kapsas City, Cincin- natf, Chicago and Indianapolls are in the fleld for the holding of the con- vention, Dying Wife Pleads for Husband. New York, Nov. z .—Suffering from a blow with a hatchet which the physi- clans say fractured her skull, deliv- ered, it 1s clalmed, by her husband, Mrs. Mary Murray tottered through the streets ten blocks to the police station behind the officer who had arrested her husband, a coal cart driver, and pleaded with the lieuten- ant at the station not to lock him up. ‘When her plea was denied she col- lapsed amd was taken to a hospital. The surgeons say that she cannot re- cover. GAMBLE FILLS VACANCIES Names Candidates for Various South Dakota Positions. ‘Washington, Nov. 2,—In accord- ance with the result of the drawing at the White House last Monday by means of which the federal offices in the state of South Dakota were divid- ed between Senators Gamble and Kit- tredge Mr. Gamble has made recom- mendations for the filling of several of the places awarded to him. He de- clded to retain Herman Ellerman as internal revenue collector and E. E. ‘Wagner as district attorney, but rec- ommended the displacement of Fred- erick Morris as surveyor general by the appointment of C. B. Alford of Huron. For register of the land office at Chamberlain he named W. H. Irons, for register at Aberdeen P. B. Cribs and for receiver at Rapid City Myron Willsie. Mr. Morris, who va- cates the position of surveyor general, is a friend of Senator Kittredge. Mr. Ellerman has been confirmed as rev- enue collector, but Mr. Wagner’s nom- ination as district attorney has not yet been pass# upon by the senate. The agreement between the two senators does not extend to confirmations and it is not improbable that Mr. Kit- tredge will antagonize the appoint- ments in some of these cases after they reach the senate. HEATED WORDS PASSED. Bryan and Senator Daniel Clash at Washington. ‘Washington, Nov. 2 .—A personal altercation in which heated words passed between Willlam Jennings Bryan and John Warwick Daniel, the Virginia senator, was a picturesque episode in a leading hotel here. “I have no desire to sit at a ban- quet table with a man with whose opinions regarding his party and its policies I have no sympathy,” was the comment of Senator Daniel, directed to an inquiring Democrat in the pres- ence of Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan expostulated with Sen- ator Daniel and made a defense of himself in a few words. He denied that he had sought to control the party or its policies. “It would be better for you and for the party if you had less to do with the affairs and policies of the Inde- pendence league,” was Senator Dan- {el's hot retort. WILL SAIL ON DEC. 16. Admiral Evans Denies Ti.at Fleet Will Be Celayed. ‘Washington, Nov. 2 .—“You can bet your North American life that the battleship fleet will sail from Hamp- ton Roads on its voyage to the Pacific on the morning of Dec. 16. The ves- sels will get under way just as soon as I receive the president’s orders to set sail.” In this characteristic manner Ad- miral Robley D. Evans answered the reports recently current that there would be a delay in the assembling and consequent departure of the fleet from the date originally set. The ad- miral’s orders contemplated the as- sembling of the fleet in Hampton Roads on Dec. 9. It is possible that all the ships may not be there on that date, but there is no doubt in the admiral’s mind that they will all be on hand when the sailing order is given on the morning of the 16th, IN HONOR OF TAFT. All Stations Decorated Along Line of Transsiberian Road. * Petropavlosk, Asiatic Russia, Nov. 2 )—The train bearing Secretary Taft and his party over the Transsiberian railroad from Vladivostok to Moscow has arrived here. All the members of the party are well and the train is keeping to its schedule. Secretary Taft has been officially requested to spend one day more in St. Petersburg and this he has agreed to do. Consequently he will leave Moscow next Sunday night instead of Monday night, as at first planned. All the stations along the route are decorated with flags in honor of the distinguished traveler and the secre- tary receives calls from officers of the army at nearly every stopping place. PLANNING TO RESUME. Pittsburg Industrial Plants Will Not Remain Closed. Pittsburg, Nov. 2!—Plans are un- der way for the resumption of many industrial plants that have been ldle since the money stringency.

Des Moines, Nov. ?/—Because the operators refused to pay them cash, but offered half cash and half clear- ing house certificates, 8,000 miners of district No. 18 voted to suspend work unt{l such time as full payment in cash could be made. In the mean- time a coal famine 15 threatened. BAEAKS OLD AECORD Edward P. Weston, Veteran Pe: STARTED AT PORTLAND, ME. Although Sixty-eight Years of Age the Noted Walker Clips More Than a Day From the Record Made by Him- self Forty Years Ago. Chicago, Nov. 2 .—Edward Payson ‘Weston, the veteran walker, has end- ed his tramp of 1,234 miles from Port- land, Me,, at the federal building here. He left Portland Oct. 29 at 5 p. m,, thus making his traveling time, ex- clusive of Sundays, 24 days, 19 hours and 15 minutes. Weston did not walk on Sundays. ‘Weston broke his record of forty years ago by 1 day, 3 hours and 25 { EDWARD PAYSON WESTON. minutes. days, 22 hours and 40 minutes. ‘Weston’s finish was a triumphal march from the Chicago Beach hotel through the South Side boulevards at a pace which taxed the powers of en- durance of the city department heads and others who essayed to walk be- side the aged pedestrian. CZAR'S TITLE CURTAILED. Emperor of Russia Will No Longer Be Called “Autocrat.” St. Petersburg, Nov. 2i—According to a decree of the third Russian duma the czar shall no longer be called “autocrat,” a title which has been borne by the emperors of Russia for centuries. At the close of a great constitutional debate the Russian par- lament, by & vote of 112 to 246, re- jected the word “autocrat” and then adopted a reply to the address from the throne unanimously amid scenes of excitement and prolonged singing of the national anthem. The result is regarded as a fine vic- tory for the Constitutional Democrats under the leadership of Professor Mi- lukoff. The final vote was taken after the demonstrative withdrawal of the extreme right, Social Democrats, mem- bers of the Group of Toil and the Poles. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. Fire at La Moure, N.

Here is a Bemidii citizen’s recomendation. Mrs. A. VanVard, living at 1218 Beltrami Ave., Bemidji, Minn., “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills with highly satisfactory results and can truthfully recommend them to any- one suffering from kidney complaint. For sometime I had a dull pain in my back which caused me much discomfort. Other symptoms showed that my kidneys were disordered and were the cause of my suffering. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised for such complaints, and deciding to try them, procured a box at the Qwl Drug. Store. I used them carefully as directed, soon the pains dis- appeared and now my kidneys are much stronger. I am confident that the relief I received from the use of Doan’s Kidney pills will prove per- manent and it gives me great pleasure to recommend them to others.” For sale by all dealers.
