Mageau against the Great Northern Railway company, his wife having died, so he claimed, asa result of in- juries received in a wreck on the G. N. railway, near Barnesville. Fred Mageau isa brother of William Mageau, who resides in this cify. He lived in Bemidji dur- ing the summer of 1902 and erected the First National bank building. The decision of the supreme court is as follows: “Fred H. Mageau, as administra- tor of the estate of Clara Mageau, deceased respondent, v. Great North- ern Railway company, appellant. “Syllabus: Respondent failed to prove, by evidecne reasonably tend- ing to support the fact, that the death of the deceased was caused by injuries in a railroad accident, it be- ing conceded that she died of peri- tonitis within five days after child- birth and five months after the acci- dent occurred. Reversed.” “THE RAMBLERS” AT GITY OPERA HOUSE DEC. TTH Excellent Attraction Assured for Sat- urday Evening of Next Week.— First Time Here. An eminent American physician in a recent interview said: “I pre- scribe the theatre as a means of recreation to overworked, nervous and debilitated patients ina similar manner to what I would an outing or any other change of environment. Stand at the door of the theatre when the throng seeks admission, watch the faces that enter and you will see lines of care and lassitude. Within a few hours these same indi- viduals issue forth refreshed and invigorated.” He evidently referred to the entertainment furnished by *“The Ramblers,” which will be seen at the City Opera House Saturday, December 7. Farce comedy being traditionally the spice of life, it is always a pleasure to recognize and to welcome indications of a change in the regular sources of recreation. This is a musical farce comedy, full of climaxes fittingly arranged. The comedy element stands out strong and the dialogue is crisp aad lively. The musical numbers include much clever scoring, girls young and laughing, display an extravagance of elegant costumes beautifully har- monized in color, well designed and rich in material, while singing capti- vating airs with their refrain and movement.. From previous reports, this company is accredited with being unsurpassable and should without a doubt give evetybody their money’s worth. Look Out, You Fellows. Robt. Oliver shot a deer the first of the week which tipped the beam at 200 pounds when dressed, it being a fine specimen. The Pilot notified its esteemed contemporary that un- less a sufficient quantity of vension was left on our door step by the time publication day came around, we would be compelled to state that he bought his deer from the Indians instead of bringing it down with a rifle. We stop the press to state that Mr. Oliver got that deer from the Indians.—Walker Pilot. As game warden and guardian of the state’s game preserves, the editor of the Pioneer will subpeena Editor Dare as a witness against Brother Oliver, and the latter must prove his marksmanship. ELK GHARITY BALL WILL BE ENJOYABLE AFFAIR Dance Will Be Given December 5th, First Anniversary of Instituting Bemidiji Lodge. The poor families of Bemidji will be given a happy Christmas, if the present plans of Bemidii Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. E., materialize, and there is no reason why the bunch of hustlers belonging to the local herd should miscarry in their arrange- ments. It is the intention of the antlered brethren of this city to give a charity ball on the night of Decem- ber 5th, that date being the first anniversary of the instituting of the local lodge of Elks. That the affair Come to the Ball, Bill. may be of more than ordinary merit, the boys intend to secure the ser- vices of an augmented orchestra that will furnish the finest music obtain- able, and “live ones” will be ap- pointed on the various committees, assuring the very best attention for a dance that can be arranged for. The proceeds of the dance will be devoted to securing articles of wear- ing apparel, provisions and supplies tor the poor of the city and surround- ing country, which will be distributed from a large wagon procured by the Elks for that purpose. The purpose of the ball is a very commendable one, and everyone who is invited should attend, as there will be a good time and a worthy purpose will have been assisted. Installing Kelliher Waterworks. H. F. Bosworth, the Ada con- tractor, was in the city today on his way from Kelliher to his home at Ada. Mr. Bosworth had the con- tract for the putting in of the water mains at Kelliher for the new water- works system, which the village of Kelliher is installing. Mr. Bosworth has put in practically 11,000 feet of mains, together with hydrants, and has completed his part of the con- tract. He stated that the tower, which will be used for supplying the mains, is on the grounds at Kelliher, but has not yet been erected. It is expected that the tower will be ‘at once put in place, the waterworks system completed, and the whole ready for use by the new year. Contractors Are Slow. Northome Record:—That pro- posed electric lighting system for Northome, for which the village council granted a franchise some time ago, seems to be a fizzle as far as actual work on the plant is con- cerned. We regret to say that up to the present time we have seen or heard nothing that would indicate that the promoters who secured the franchise really mean business. Souvenir envelopes at this office.

The Park Rapids basketball team will play a game in this .city next Friday evening, at the Grand opera house rink against the “Big Bemidg” basketball team, which will be the first game the local team has con- tested with an outside organization. It is understood that the Park Rapids team has been considerably strengthened since last year, when the local team defeated Park Rapids in two well contested games. It is the intention of manager Heffron to have two games Friday evening. In addition to the Park Rapids—"'Big Bemidg” game, the second team of the basketball squad will play ‘the high school team. There will also be skating before the games and the play will be called at 9 o’clock. County Warrants Payable.

HIGH PRICES IN GERMANY Socialist Leader Declares Industrial Crisis at Hand. Berlin, Nov. 30.—The 1908 budget was discussed in the reichstag. Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, made an Interesting address in which he called attention to the condition of the coun- try and declared this indicated that @ crisis was at hand. He said the unemployed in Berlin already number between 30,000 and 40,000. Owing to the industrial combines and the price agreements the day of low prices in Germany was passed and the high du- HERR BEBEL. tles put in force in the month of March, 1906, also were making them- selves feX. Consequently, Herr Bebel declared, Germany was paying the highest prices in the world. Holding up a loaf of bread, which caused pro- longed merriment among-the mem- bers, the Socialist leader said: “They still say this is a big loaf, but a loaf that weighed four and a half pounds eighteen months ago now weighs scarcely three pounds and the price has risen fully 50 per cent.” CAPTURE TCHINESE TRADE Jap Steamship Companies Doing All the Business. San Francisco, Nov. 30.—That Ja- pan is not only planning to outdis- tance the United States in the strug- gle for the commerce of the Pacific, but has already driven the steamship lines of every other nation out of the Chinese trade, is the statement of Harry 1. Paddock, United States con- sul at Amoy, China. Mr. Paddock has arrived here on the Pacific Mail steamer Korea on his way to Wash- fngton. “The Japanese have captured the entire ocean carrying trade of ‘China from Hongkong to Shanghai,” he sald. “The British lines, which some years ago monopolized this business, are doing nothing. The same is true of the German lines. All have suc- cumbed to the competition of the Japanese, aided by their large sub- sidies and the low pay of their crews.” Bandmaster Sousa Improving. Chicago, Nov. 30. — Bandmaster John Philip Sousa, who is at the Audi- torfum hotel suffering from ptomaine poisoning, had a restful sleep and is considerably improved. House Phy- siclan Hammond said there was no cause for alarm, but that it would be necessary for Mr. Sousa to remain quiet for some days. Powers Jury Completed. Georgetown, Ky., Nov. 30.-—For the first time perhaps in the history of thie town the circuit court held a ses- slon on Thanksgiving day, and the Jury to try Caleb Powers was com- pleted. Michigan Mayor Suicides. Ypeilant{, Mich.,, Noy. 80.—Mayor John Van Iossen shot himself through the head at his home here. 'No hope 1s entertained for his recovery. Mayor Van. Fossen was fifty years old. A | number of years ago he was an in. mate of an insane asylum for a year of late it is said that he had been ing bard to ward off a rocm;encn hlg old trouble, EVIDENCE CONCLUDED Both Sides Finish Testimony in Case Against Mrs. Bradley. INSANITY EXPERTS ON STAND Witnesses for the Government Assert That the Defendant Was Sane and Conscious of Her Act at the Time She Shot Senator Brown, Washington, Nov. 30.—-Two govern- ment experts took the stand in the trial of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley charged with having shot and Kkilled former Senator Arthur M. Brown of Utah in this city last December. They were Edward M. Brush of Baltimore and Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe of New York. They have both been attending the trial during the last ten days and have observed the defendant in court dally, Both experts gave positive tes- timony to the effect that Mrs. Bradley was sane Wwhen she shot Senator Brown. They could find nothing in her family history, her acts or her physical or mental condition to sug- gest that she was insane at that time Rev. Dr. David H. Utter, Mrs, Brad ley’s pastor, who has been referred to in the testimony as “the priest,” testified concerning conversations he had with the defendant in Salt Lake when she told him that Senator Brown wonld marry her if he faced a pistol, but she did not say she would shoot him; she spoke as if some one else would force him to marry her. Rev. David H. Utter, pastor of the Unitarian church of Denver, formerly of Salt Lake, who performed the mar- rlage ceremony between Mr. and Mrs. Bradley, was the first witness of the day. Dr. Utter testified that dur- ing a conversation with Mrs. Bradley he expressed to her his belief that Brown would not marry her. He urged her to give up her idea of marrying Brown. She replied: “When it comes to a test and the gun is pointed at him Brown will accede.” Converses With Mrs. Bradley. After leaving the stand Dr. Utter took a seat beside Mrs. Bradley and comforted her. They freely con- versed, Mrs. Bradley often smiling at something he said. Dr. Edward S. Brush of Baltimore, a government expert, declared that in his opinion when Mrs. Bradley shot Brown she was perfectly sane. Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe of New York, another government expert, was the next witness called. District Attorney Baker propounded a long hypothetical question to Dr. Jelliffe covering vari- ous threats alleged to have been made by Mrs. Bradley towards Senator Brown and her movements and acts up to the time the shot was fired. In answering the question Dr. Jel- liffe said that at the time of the shooting of Senator Brown Mrs. Brad- ley, in his opinion, was sane. Mrs. Bradley, Dr. Jelliffe declared, was able at the time she shot Brown to choose between right and wrong and was conscious of her act. ‘When the state rested its case the defense called several witnesses. Mrs. Henrietta Marshall, matron of the District jail, was not permitted to tes- tify regarding Mrs. Bradley’s physical condition when ‘she reached the jail. Mrs. Bradley was then recalled and declared that she had no recollec: tion of the details of the conversation with Dr. Utter as related by him. This concluded the evidence in the case. BAN PUT ON MALT DRINKS Minnesota Supreme Court What Are Intoxicants. St. Paul, Nov. 30.—The state su- preme court has handed down a de- cision relating to the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors. This decision goes into the rights of dealers to sell malt bev- erages without local licenses and it would appear that if the decision has any general effect it will prevent the sale of the various malt extracts ex- cept at regularly licensed saloons or on the presentation of a doctor’s pre- seription at a drug store. The case was that of the state against Noble Schagel, a resident of Kandiyohi county. The defendant was indicted and found guilty of selling intoxicants without a license. He sold what was called Swedish malt. One sample, after analysis by a university professor, was found to contain 2.72 per cent alcohol and another sample disclosed 3.18 per cent alcohol. Scha- gel appealed and the supreme court says the verdict must stand. Defines Chicago Pioneer Dead. Chicago, Nov. 30.—Former Judge James B. Bradwell, one of Chicago’s most distinguished pioneers, is dead at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. F. A. Helmer, in this city. Judge Bradwell was seventy-nine years old. Until two weeks ago he had continued to take an active interest in the man- agement of the Chicago Legal News, of which he was publisher. He was a law partner of John L. Beveridge when Beveridge was elected governor of Illinois. Big Lake Steamer Ashore. Marinette, Wis,, Nov. 30.—The big steamer Glasgow, coal laden from Bulfalo to Green Bay, ran on Peshtigo reef. The tug Taylor of Green Bay and the tug Thompson of this city, have been unable to pull her off and lighters are now being used. The boat went on in a snow flurry because of the removal of the reef lighthouse this weel, ON THE, VALUE OF BONDS Expert Testimony Introduced at the Walsh Trial. Chicago, Nov. 30.—Expert testimony Intended to show the methods em- ployed by bond brokers to determine bond values was introduced in the trial of John R, Walsh in the federal district court here. A. W. Harris, vice president of N. W. Harris & Co. pnd of the Harris Trust and Savings bank, bankers and brokers, was a whnt;u. One of the charges brought oulling up Nl Taflroadis and other properties issued bonds to the extent of millions of dollars when the cor- porations were earning little or noth- Ing and that the bonds were either 8old to the Chicago Natlonal bank or were used as security for the mem- orandum notes by means of which Walsh’s alleged dlversions of funds are said to have been uccom])]lnhed FOUND DEAD IN HOTEL. Minneapolis Mllllonalre Expires Sud- denly at Omaha, - Omaha, Nov. 30.—George F. Porter, millionaire attorney and theater man of Minneapolis, was found dead in his room at the Paxton hotel. Heart trou- ble, from which he had been suffering, is asserted as the cause. He has a ‘wife and children traveling in the South and they may be in Cuba by this time. He was thirty-eight years of age. His body was taken to Min- neapolis by Edward B. Masi, connect. ed with Mr. Porter’s law firm. It was Mr. Masi who found him. lowa College Man Killed. Davenport, Ia., Nov. 30.—The body of Irvin Robinson of Bluegrass, Ia., & senior of the Iowa State college at Ames, was found beside the railroad track. He disappeared after leaving the college to spend the Thanksgiv- ing vacation with his filancee, Kather- ine Carlin, who lives near Davenport, and when he failed to arrive a search was instituted for him. Robinson evi- dently had been killed by jumping from the train as it passed the Carlin home. TRAIN HITS TROLLEY CAR Five Factory Employes Killed at Waterbury, Conn. ‘Waterbury, Conn., Nov. 30.—Five factory employes were killed at the West Main street crossing over the Highland division tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road when an extra Hartford bound freight train crashed into a trolley car containing twenty-five persons bound for the pin factories in Oakville. The car was struck with great force direct- ly in the middle and all the passen- gers killed were badly mangled. Six others were badly injured and had to be carried to their homes. Flagman John Flavin and Conductor John Dillon of the trolley car were arrested. The motorman of the car, Charles Leonard, was not held. It is stated that the wrecked trolley car was following closely behind an- other car, which had passed safely over the crossing. There was absolutely no chance for the engineer of the train to stop his train in time to prevent the accident. Although he applied the brakes the engine crashed into the trolley car, smashing it to splinters and throwing the occupants in all directions. Many of those injured were carried to near- by stores, while some who were un- able to walk were laid alongside of the tracks until carriages and am- bulances took them to their homes. The bodies of the known dead were cared for by relatives. DOG FIRES FATAL SHOT. Son of North Dakota Editor Accl- dentally Killed. Bismarck, N. D, Nov. 30.—Harry, the fourteen-year-old son of Editor C. A. Patterson of Linton, died at the hospital here as the result of aceci- dental shooting. He accompanied his father deer hunting along the Missouri river twenty-five miles south ‘of here and was left in an automobile. A loaded shotgun was in the bottom of the auto where the boy and dog were lying to keep warm. The dog stepped on the trigger and the gun was discharged, the load taking effect in the left arm of the boy. The father heard the shot and re- turned to the auto to find his son in a faint. A friend held the boy and the auto was speeded to this city, but the boy died from loss of blood and shock. PEONAGE IN THE SOUTH Many Foreign Laborers Held in Virtual Slavery. Washington, Nov. 80. — Peonage among colored people in the South always has existed to a greater or less extent and several prosecutions haye been instituted on that account, but it has remained for the Austro- Hungarian ‘and Italian governments through the state department and de- partment of justice, to develop the fact that many foreigners who have been brought over to this country by the representatives of the immigra- tion agents are today white slaves. Others are in a chain gang at this minute, not for criminal offenses, but for alleged debt. The records of the. state depart- ment, as well as those of the depart- ment of justice, are filled with in- stances of this kind and complaints have been investigated from Florida, Mississippi and several other states. Indictments have been found in two or three inttances and there may be more to come, although extraordinary influence is being used to hush the matter up for fear that the tide of immigration ‘will be turned away from the Southern states. One of the cases which is attract- ing much attention now, because it has developed charges against a wo- _man attorney in the department of justice, grows out of the indictment of nq less a person than O. B, Crit- tenden, head of the great plantation known as Sunnyside, “in Arkansas. This plantation employs fully 1,000 men, practically all of whom are Ital: ians, Spaniards and other Europeans. The' reports received from there are to, the effect that practically all these men are under duress. Lovers’ purses are tlad with eob- mlil.—lmlinn Proverb. Hlis Name Stricken From List of “Undesirable Citizens,” ROOSEVELT PRAISES BANKER Bays Financier Has Been Wonderfully Successful in Co-Operating With the Government in Preventing Com- merclal Disturbance. ‘Washington, Nov. 30.—J. Pierpont Morgan is no longer regarded by President Roosevelt as an undesirable citizen and the owner of a swollen fortune, acquired by means severely condemned by Mr. Roosevelt, but as a patriot and a public benefactor. In the future Mr. Morgan will ap- pear in a new role. He will take the public into his confidence, tell it some of the things he is doing and dissi- {:te the atmosphere of secrecy and ystery with which he has surround- ed himself. He -will pursue this course on the advice of Mr. Roose- velt and Secretary Cortelyou, who have informed Mr. Morgan that his course in ignoring the public is re- sponsible for its hostile attitude to- ward him. Morgan is co-operating with and as- sisting the administration in restoring normal conditions in the commercial and financial world. His action has caused a complete change in the views of President Roosevelt regarding the _d PIERPO.NT MORGAN. great financier and Mr. Roosevelt has upon more than one occasion recently spoken in the highest and most com- plimentary terms of the New Yorker. In discussing John D. Rockefeller, FE. H. Harriman and others whom the president has denounced as public malefactors and undesirable citizens he said: “I wish to remove Mr. Morgan from this class. He has done admirable work during the financial trouble and he should be given credit for his ex- cellent performances. He is a public benefactor and has been wonderfully suceessful in co-operating with the government in preventing a commer- cial disturbance which, if it had oc- curred, would have brought great suf- fering upon the working people.” WILL DEPOPULATE TOWN, Order of Court Following Triple ‘As- sassination. St. Louis, Nov. 30.—A telephone message from Clio, Ark,, conveys the information that Clio, the home of 300 lumber mill employes and their families, is to be depopulated as the result of an order issued by Judge Elliott of Little Rock, which grew out of the triple assassination there Mon day of Clarence L. Bush, Thomas GQodfrey and A. R. McEwen, who were shot down as they stepped from a Cotton Belt train. It is said the kill- ing resulted from a feud between rival lumber companies. Judge Elliott has ordered the mills of the Bluff City Lumber company at Clio closed and all the emplcges discharged. The court has the power to malke this or- der because the company is in the hands of a receiver appointed by the court. This practically means the depop- ulation of Clio, " SENSATIONAL KIDNAPPING. Cousin of the King of Italy Seized and Tortured. Naples, Nov. 30.—A dramatic and sensational kidnapping has occurred here, the victim being Marquis Gui- seppe- Cito, a member of the most an- clent aristocracy and a cousin and aide of the king.
