The sale of lands of Beltrami and part of Clearwater counties, which had been forfeited to the state on account of unredeemed back taxes, which sale was commenced on No- vember 11, was closed Tuesday by County Auditor Wilmann, In all there were nearly 200 tracts which had been placed on the list as being unredeemed, but about 150 o these tracts were redeemed prior to and during the time the held open, several being sale was paid after the sale was commenced and before | any one made offer for the tracts. The sale was considered to be a very good one, considering evecy- thing. Mr. Wilmann sold forty-one tracts, | which brought a total of SHSSAOSA; Of the total amount realizsd, each purchaser paid the following: A, R. Erickson, $39.31; A. A. Carter, $96.11; A.

Thinks Finanoial Situation Improving. F. P. Sheldon of Minneapolis, of the First National Bank of Bemidji, left this noon for his home, by way of Grand Rap: | president ids. In speaking of the present finan- |cial situation, Mr. Sheldon took an optimestic view of conditions gen- |erally, and said: “After having made a careful examination of the published state- ments of the various national banks in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, I am convinced that the stringency which has existed for some time past is about over, !and that there is a ‘much better tone to the situation; and there is no cause for alarm concerning ‘a possible panic — there will be none.” Subscribe for the Pioneer. cine, Askyourdoctor totellyou, honestly and S e ERES Cilcaa 3 at badtime will completely control the night ne Ose coughs of children.

Spooner came in yes terday afternoon from Grand Rap- ids, where he had been presiding at the term of court held at that place. As there were no jury cases to try yesterday ‘afternoon the Judge took advantage of the opportunity to visit his home. Beginning on Monday, the follow- ing cases were disposed of, up-to- date. State vs. Peter Radakovick, charged with assault in the first degree. Defendant moved for con- tinuance; presenting affidavits for continuance on the grounds of ab- sent witnesses. The motion was granted and the cause continued over the term. The next case, the state vs. Joseph Ponti and Catherine Ponti, charged with assault in .he second degree. The plea of not guilty, previously entered, was withdrawn and a demur to the indictment interposed. “The demur was substained and it was ordered that the cause be submitted to the next grand jury. State of Minnesota vs. Frank Johuson, charged with grand lar- ceny in the second degree for steal- ing a Savage rifle out of a lumber camp. The defendant withdrew his pleaof not guilty and entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to fifteen months in the state’s prison at Stillwater. Amiee Fontak, alias Amiee Fran- zen, indicted for bigamy, entered a plea of not guilty. The seven cases against Ex-Treas- urer Miller, indicted tor grand lar- ceny, were continued over the term by agreement of parties; as was also the case of state vs. William E. in the second degree. Same dispo- sition was made of the Deer River election cases against Eli Loisell, | John M. Jones, William E. Martin and Ben Young. In the cases of the State of Min- nesota vs. Peter d’Anjou, charged with grand larceny in the first degree, the defendant withdrew - his plea not guilty and entered a plea of guilty, but has not yet been sen- tenced. E. Smith Changes Location. A. E.'Smith, who has become the sole proprietor of the Smith-Minor Lumber company since Mr. Minor retired from the firm, is removing his headquarters from the former site, near the electric light plant, to the property which he recently purchased, at the corner of Fourth street and Irving avenue. Mr. Smith purchased a quarter of the block of land and he has already erected the new lumber sheds, and has placed considerable of his lumber at the new location. He will erect an office building and have his yards in first-class condi- tion in a few days. Mr. Smith is a substantial business man and will undoubtedly make a success of his lumber business in this city. Buried at Sauk Rapids. D. M. Sauve of Baudette, accom- panied by, his brother-in-law, William Libada, passed through the city last evening, returning from Sauk Rapids to their home, by way of International Falls. Messrs, Sauve and Libada attended the funeral of Mrs, - Anna Libada, mother of Mrs. Sauve and William Libada, which was held at Sauk Rapids on Tuesday of last week. Mrs, Libada was one of the oldest and most respected residents of Sauk Rapids. Suspected Dynamiters Held. Grand Rapids, Dec. 12.—John Batto and wife, who were arrested at Bovey last Saturday, charged with having blown up the miners’ cabin at Coleraine on Nov. 3 last, in which three Italians were killed, are still in jail here. Their preliminary examination will probably be held early next week, as County Attorney Thwing is too busy in district court this week to take up the matter. It is likely that they will be bound over to the next grand jury, which meets in June, 1908. L¥s Fi Sailve Duras. Sores.

DUE TO HEAVY RAINS Serious Floods General in the Lackawanna Valley. MUCH DAMAGE IN COAL FIELD Water Reaches Such a High Point In Many Mines -That Operations Are Suspended—Trains on Certain Rail- roads Abandoned. Scranton, Pa., Dec. 1 .—Rain for the last thirty hours has washed the mountains and hills of the Lacka- wanna valley clear of snow and sent a flood down the Lackawanna river that is causing much damage. Trains north ot Carbondale, on the Erie and Delaware and Hudson railroads, have been ‘abandoned for the day owing to tracks being carried away in several places. At Mayfield the river is cutting a new channel through the lowlands and the danger of a sudden flooding of the Glenwood mine was so great that the mine workers were ordered out of the workings. Other collieries situ- ated along the river were also com- pelled to suspend operations. Two new iron bridges being con- structed across the Lackawanna river here were badly damaged by the false- work being washed away and allowing them to sag. The lowlands in many of the towns in the Lackawanna valley are flooded, causing much damage. The rain con- tinues, with no indication of a let up. Hazleton, Pa., Dec. 11.—The heavy rainfall of the last twenty-four hours caused considerable damage in the Lehigh coal field. The water is high in the mines and many of them were forced to suspend operations. At Jeanesville a reservoir broke its banks and partially flooded the town. GO TO F_lNANCE COMMITTEE Resolutions of Inquiry Relating to Treasury Department. ‘Washington, Dec. 1 L.—Senator Cul- berson’s resolution providing for an inquiry by the senate committee on finance into the recent issue of bonds by the government was considered by the senate and was sent to the finance committee upon a statement by Mr. Aldrich that that committee would meet in a few days and report a reso- lution covering the entire subject. Senator Clay’s regolution calling for information concerning the deposit of money in national banks also was laid before the senate. Mr. Clay said that up to the present time $250,000,000 had been deposited by the govern- ment in national banks and most of it had been on deposit during the present year. “I do not believe,” he said, “that we can justify the placing of such money in banks and then calling for more money by the issue of bonds. That system should be investigated and condemned.” Mr. Clay then agreed to have his resolution go to the committee on finance. FOUND CONDITICNS ORDERLY Colonel Reynolds Reports on Situation at Goldfield. ‘Washington, Dec. 1.—The adjutant general has received the following telegram relative to the situation in Goldfield, Nev., from Colonel Reynolds, commanding the troops now in that mining camp: “On arrival here found the district orderly. Except for those mines not in operation business and other condi- tions are normal. No disturbances worthy of notice have occurred since. Several authorities here have been consulted. They state that they are not - being interfered with in their 1 have not assumed control except to ask them to inform me fre- quently of the state of affairs. A gen- eral feeling of confidence prevails from the presence of the troops. The differences between the mine oper- ators and the miners have not been settled. The operators are going to open their mines this week. When this occurs I fear there will be trou- ble.” KELLOGG - MUCH IMPROVED Seized With Fainting Spell While Making Address. New York, Dec. 1 .—Frank Kellogg of St. Paul, prosecutor in the case of the government against the Standard Oil company, who was taken ill in the course of his speech before the Min- nesota society, is much improved. Mr. Kellogg’s indisposition was not seri- ous, being the temporary result of an acute attack of indigestion, aggra- vated to some extent by the pressure of work which he has been under of late. In the midst of his speech a period of dizziness was succeeded by faint. Mr. Kellogg recovered very soon and was able to return to the 'banquet hall and finish his speech, Acting Head of Sugar Trust, New York, Dec. 1 .—W. B. Thomas has been elected acting president of the American Sugar Refining company to fill the vacancy caused by the death of H. O. Havemeyer. The va- cancy on the board of directors caused by Mr. Havemeyer’'s death was filled by the election of his son, Horace Havemeyer, to that position, Mr. Thomas, the acting president, as a vice president of the company has been in chaige of the company’s re- fineries at Boston. NOBEL PRIZES AWARDED. Winners for Year 1907 Announced at 5 Christiania, Christiania, Dee. 1.—At a meeting held here of the Nobel institute J. G. Loevland, the Norwegian premier, an. nounced that the Nobel peace prizes would this year be equally divided be- tween Teodore Moneta of Italy and Louls Renault of France, 4 The premier took advantage of this occaslon to eulogize the ‘late King hy | Oscar of Sweden, been prominent . penceniakers of the world, - M. Renault is the permanent dele- gate of France to The Hague tribunal and represented his country at the second Hague conference last sum- mer. M. Moneta has been prominent as a worker for peace in Italy. He was elected president of the fifteenth uni- versal peace conference at Milan in September, 1906, The prize for physics was awarded to Professor Albert A. Michelson. of the University of Chicago; that of medicine to Dr. Laveman of Paris and the chemistry prize to Professor Ed- ouard Buchner of the University of Berlin, In addition to the prize, which this year amounts to $38,000, each recip- | lent was given also a diploma and a gold medal. SUNDAY LID AT CHICAGO. State’s Attorney Declares He WIHI Enforce the Law. Chicago, Dec. . . —State’s Attorney John J. Healy has announced publicly that he will enforce the taws so as to close every saloon in Chicago on Sun- day. b This announcement came in an ad- dress he delivered at a meeting of the Men’s club of St. Peter's Episcopal church. The speech followed the issu- ing of twenty-nine warrants against proprietors of leading hotels in Chi- cago charging violations of the Sunday closing law. The state’s attorney said that the state law is absolutely plain and that he will enforce it with all his power. The saloonkeepers by their actions, he asserted, have aroused a revolt among the thinking people of the city that will result eventually not ‘Siddons’ hearing that" only in Sunday observance but in shorter hours for the saloons and the wiping out of many disorderly places leagued with vice and crime. OWEN AND GORE ELECTED Formally Chosen to Represent Okla- homa in Senate. Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 11.—Robert Latham Owen of Muskogee and Thomas Prior Gore of Lawton have been formally elected to the United States senate by the Oklahoma legis- lature. Both are Democrats. Owen was born at Lynchburg, Va., Feb. 2, 1856. He is of Scotch-Irish ancestry, with a mixture of Cherokee Indian blood. His father, Robert Owen, was a distinguished Confederate sol- dier and later became president of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad. The senator’s mother was a daughter of Chisholm, the last hereditary war chief of the Cherokee Nation. Senator Gore has the double distine- tion of being the first hlind member of the United States senate and of bé- ing the youngest man in that body, be- ing only thirty-seven years old. His sight was destroyed in childhood when he was a page in the senate of Missis- sippi, his native state. At that time he was boarding in the home of Unit- ed States Senator J. Z. George and it is said those associations first inspired him with the dream of some day be- ing a United States senator, which has been his life’s ambition. He was edu- cated at Cumberland university at Lebanon, Tenn. He has great oratorical ability and in the last two national campalgns his services were called for in many Northern and Western states. He is a lawyer of note. LAW WILL BE MODIFIED. Certain Amusements Will Be Permit. ted in New York Sundays. New York, Dec. 11.—There is every prospect that New York's intensely “blue” Sundays will end with the first one. The board of aldermen will meet shortly and there will be introduced an ordinance which will, in so far as the power of the board reaches, give amusement seekers at least something to do on Sunday. The state law pre- vents “performances on the stage,” but there seems to be no provisions in the statutes or in the city charter which prevents concerts, either vocal or instrumental. The ordinance which the aldermen will be asked to pass will allow concerts such as those usually glven at the two opera houses, the symphony concerts given by the Dam- rosch orchestra at Carnegie hall and will allow moving picture shows and arcades to run as usual. Even a modi- fied sort of vaudeville will be permit- ted. Several meetings of church mem- bers have been held since Justice O’Gorman’s interpretation of the law was made, at which plans were made to fight any modification of the law. The sentiment of the city, however, seems to be in favor of a reasonable amount of Sunday amusement and there seems to be every probability that this will be allowed by the alder- men. Fool's Gold. Pyrite, or sulphide of from, occurs quite freely in the iron measures and granite gash veins in upper Michigan. It has a brassy color and is known as “fool’s gold” by reason of its similari- ty to the yellow metal in the opinion of the inexperienced. The miners call it “mundic.” Few people appreciate the great value of this mineral. Its principal use is in making sulphuric acld, and in that form it is consumed in very large quantities, much of it en- tering Into the refining of kerosene oil A8 well as being used extensively in the manufacture of artificial fertilizers. —Mining World. Great Scheme. Mrs. Simpson in her “Many Memo- rles of Many People” says of Arch- bishop Whately: He.was utterly re- gardless of appearance.
