The poor families of Bemidji will be given a happy Christmas, if the present plans of Bemidii Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O.

OPERA HOUSE DEC. 7TH { Excellent Attraction Assured for Sat- urday Evening of Next Week.— First Time Here. I 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 and 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 everybody their money’s worth. To Incorporate Clearing Houses.

The reactionaries assaulted Feder 1. Roditcheff, the orator of the Constitutional Democrats, and at- tempted to drag him from the tribune in order to put an end to his vitriolic attack on the government. Premier Stolypin and other mem- bers of the cabinet witnessed the dem- onstration from the ministerial box for several minutes, but they departed when it became evident that the howl- ing mob had no intention of allowing the session to proceed. M. Roditcheff, during the course of a ringing speech, in which he was constantly interrupted by applause or Jeers, was eulogizing the hundreds of victims of drumhead - courtsmartial eand when he referred to the officials of the government as hangmen 100 reactionaries, led by Vladimir Parish- kevitch, Monarchist, and two priests, stormed the tribune. President Kho- myakoff, aftor vainly ringing hig bell for order, abandoned the chair and declared the sitting closed. The Con- stitutional Democrats and Social Dem- ocrats charged to the rescue of M. Roditcheff, who was being roughly handled. They. formed a phalanx around him and bore him, still shout- ing defiance, to one corner of the hall. The tumult continued for fully half an hour, until the party leaders suc ceeded in withdrawing their followers to the committee rcoms for consulta- tion. TWO ADDRESSES MADE.

There Wwas a large gathering in Judge Stafford’s courtroom and all were eager listcners to the arguments for and against the defendant. As- sistant District Attorney Turner opened the final proceeding with a careful review of the testlmony, an- alyzing In a masterful manner many confilcting statements. - He frequently grew eloquent and evidently affected the defendant by his powerful review of the case. He was iollowed by Robert Wells, of counsel for the defendant, who concluded Lfs impassicned address by declaring that Arthur Brown himself was responsible for the fatal shot, ag it was his scts that had fired the over- wrought bra‘n of the defcndant and +| brought on his own destructicn. “Whatsoeve~ a man soweth, that also shall lie rean,” he ginted as he brought his arsmment to a close.

German Baron Dies on Board West Indian Steamer. New York, Dec. 2.—When the lit- tle steamer Virginia of the Hamburg- American’s Atlas service came into port she brought word of the death on hoard of Baron Waldemar Alexan- der Walter Rogalla von Bieberstein of Rosoggen, near Stensburg, Eastern Prussia. Rehind this announcement is a romautic story. When the Vir- glnia sailed from New York there was among her stewards a young man known as Walter Bieberstein. When on the return trip, loaded with ba- nanas, the ship neared Port au Prince Bieberstein was taken ill and, becom- ing rapidly worse, died. He was bur- led at Port au Prince. Before the young man died he confided to Cap- tain 'Felix Jach of the Virginia who he was and gave him a packet of pa- pers to be forwarded to his family in Germany. These papers, now in the German consulate here, seem to prove the identity of the young man. He told his story to Captain Jach, but the officer refuses to divulge it except to the German consul.™ MONEY AND CLERK MISSING Pacific Express Company Robbed of $5,850 at St. Louis.

Tokio, Dec. 2.—Japan. is experienc- ing trouble in the interior of Formosa, gborigines from the east side are con- tinually raiding and becoming bolder. The reports from there are mesager, but according to the best information of the Associated Press the fatalities during:'the fighting within the last sixty days number over 200 on both sldes. The-number of aborigines in the unconquered section of the coun- try is estimated at 120,000, Arizona Forest Reserve Enlarged. ‘Washington, Dec. 2.—Arizona now has 820,000 more acres of timber land in the Prescott national forest by rea. son Of a proclamation creating two additions, which has been signed by the president.

LATTER OUT FOR PRESIDENT Withdraws From Fight for Senator- ship ant Will Contest for the State Delegation to the Republican Na- tional Convention. Columbus, O., Dec. 2.—A, I, Vorys, manager for Secretary Taft, said re- garding Senator Foraker’s statement that he is a candidate for president: “There is little that I can add to what I have already said. Ohio Re- publicans have determined their choice and this preference is for Sec- retary Taft. It is shown by the atti- tude of the press of the state, by the public and private expressions of state officials, congressmen, state leg- islators and hundreds of other active party men and by the endorsement of Taft by the state committee, by nu- merous county committees and by other organizations of Ohio Republic- ans. The friends of Secretary Taft, as I have repeatedly said, will wel- come an early opportunity to submit the question direct to Ohio Republic- ans or their representatives in state convention.” OUT OF SENATORIAL FIGHT Foraker Announsss His Candidacy for President. ‘Washington, Dec. 2.—An announce- ment made by Senator Foraker of Ohio, in effect withdrawing his name from the senatorial race in that state and placing himself in the hands of his friends for the presidential nom- ination, was no surprise to the sen- ator’s friends. Foraker’s formal declaration of war against Taft is contained in a letter to Conrad J. Mattern, vice president of the Ohio Republican league. Senator Foraker says he is gratified by the endorsement of the committee at this time because it is a flat rebuke to the suggestion that the office of United States senator is to be stripped of all the real honor attached to it by malking its incumbent a mere agent to register the decrees of some- bod, else. The probable effect of the Ohio sen- ator’s manifesto is variously regarded. It means a hot fight in Ohio, but the best informed public men here are strongly of the opinion that Secretary Taft will secure the delegation and that Senator Foraker cannot win in the contest. It is not believed here that Mr. Foraker could win the Republican nominaticn if he had the solid back-] ing of the Ohio delegation in the next convention. EVIDENCE IN WALSH CASE Banker’s Former Private Bookkeeper on the Stand, Chicago, Dec. 2.—B. B. McKay, formerly private bookkeeper for John R. Walsh, testified in the trial of the former bank president that with the deposit slips of the Southern Indiana Railway company were deposited to the railroad company’s account on the books of the Chicago National bank checks that McKay himself had written and that should be signed by other persons in the bank. The mak- ing of and signing the checks and the depositing of them, he said, was at the direction of Mr. Walsh, Mec- Kay's testimony was given over a strong objection by attorneys for the defense, who contended that it came under a former ruling by Judge An- derson relative to evidence furnished by the defendant against himself. McKay was examined also as to thirty-nine deposit slips which he said had been deposited to the account of the Chicago Chronicle company. Dur- ing 1906 and a part of 1904, he assert- ed, $1,424,000 was so deposited. It is contended by the prosecution that this amount was wrongfully diverted from the funds of the bauk. DISTURBANCES IN KOREA. Outbreaks Not as Serious as Reports Indicate. Tokio, Dec. 2.—According to- the advices of the Associated Press from Seoul the reports of disturbances throughout the country are exagger- ated. There have been a number of outbreaks, however, the insurgents pathering in widely separated places. They commandeer the farmers, plun- der them of their crops and intrench themselves against the Japanese, but are invariably dispersed. The Koreans In large numbers are now assisting the Japanese to secure order. A fight occurred on Nov. 27 between the Ko- reans and a band of 800 insurgents, who were well armied. The Koreans were defeated and thirty killed. Fatal Kentucky Feud. ‘Whitesburg, Ky., Dec. 2.—In a feud bottle between the Miller and Jones factions on the left fork of Beaver creek John Miller, a reputed leader of the Miller faction, was killed.

Dec. 2—A telephone message from New Franklin, Howard ocounty, forty miles from Sedalla, says that robbers dynamited the safe of the New Franklin bank, ransacked the vaults and escaped with $4,000 in coin and currency. 'REGARDING IMMIGRATION. Japanese Envoy Discusses ‘His Visit e to America. Tokio, Dec. 2.—Baron Ishii, chiet of the bureau of commerce of the Japanese forelgn office, who visited America and Canada for the purpose of investigating the immigration prob- lem, hag arrived in Tokio. In an in- terview.Baron Ishii said: “My visit to America and Canada convinced me that the opposition to the Japansse s based partly upon race prejudice, though oonsiderable of e e | 1t 15 Aue to labor Trouhles Instigated by agitators. I found Japanese resi: dents in America and Canada who resent the Incoming of their country- men from the Hawafian islands and Mexico, which is disliked. While it 18 possible for Japan to conserve the interests of Japanese now residing abroad, many of whom are prospering and living peacefully In America, in my opinion it will be necessary in or- der to keep absolute faith with the United States to prevent emigration of laborers thither altogether, because an exclusion act would be disagree- able. We should send laborers to Canada in great moderation.” The foreign office is now engaged in investigating the representations of the American ambassador, Mr. O’Brien, concerning the character and number of immigrations, The indica- tlons are that the Japanese govern- ment will give formal but verbal as- surances of a future rigid exclusion of all that can be termed strictly la- bor emigration to the United States, being careful also in limiting the num- ber moving for Canada. It is doubt- ful if these assurances will take the form of written notes to either coun- try, but possibly Foreign Minister Hayashi will make a statement on the subject. ARSENIC IN EVERY ORGAN Poison Caused Death of Wealthy Mas- sachusetts Man, 2 Boston, Dec. 2.—Poisoning by ar- senic caused the death of Walter E. Baker of Wellesley, Mass., at Bogota, N. J,, last month, according to a re- port forwarded to Baker’s relatives by experts who have examined intestinal parts of the man’s body. In view of this finding the Baker family has been urged to continue investigation of the theory of murder and Judge Grant of the local probate court has appointed George R. Blinn of Boston to be spe- cial administrator of the estate of Yyoung Baker, who was wealthy. Ed- ward Baker, the brother of the de- ceased, is contesting a will which was executed a short time before young Baker died. Mr. Baker’s death occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hurd, with whom he had lived a short time, and according to the terms of the will about one-third of his estate was given to Natalie Hurd and special glfts were made to Mr. and Mrs. Hurd. One-third was given to two sons of his brother Edward and the residue of the estate to Harvard. According to the New Jersey au- thorities Baker’s death was due to pneumonia. Edward Baker ordered an autopsy. The chemists report that arsenic was discovered in every organ in the body and declare the belief that the poison was administered in small doses from time to time.
