The Crookston T'imes of | hursday contains the following timely edi- torial, which should be read by every resident of this vicinity who has a young son: “There is a young man in the town of Neche, N. D., a mere boy in fact but sixteen years of age, and undoubtedly expecting to live his full three score years and ten, who is doomed to spend all of that life in a prison cell. “And for what? The cold blooded murder of his chum and companion to secure a sum of mouey which amounted to a trifle over $100.00. ‘The question that comes immediately to the mind of the average man is, what made him do it? “By what process of evironment and influence and in what channel has he allowed his thoughts to run that his mind could become so warped and shriveled that he would at that early age deliberatly and without compunction hit his friend on the head, not once, but several times, and thus take the spark of human fire forever? “There is an answer and it should contain such a tremendous lesson that it should react and work for some good in the world. “James O’Brien has been noted for yearsas a ‘tough’ boy. He smoked cigarettes and drank, and without a question of doubt spent a large portion of his time loafing about the saloons at Gretna, in fact, the testimony brought out at the inquest and through the re- searches by the detective went to prove that the boy had a bad name in the town. He was the son. of respectable parents, his father be- ing the United States revenue collector, but they evidently al- lowed him to drift, and if they now and then received a warning word as to his waywardness, they evidently thought that the boy was only ‘soWing his wild oats’ and that in time he would straighten up. Probably there have been more boys allowed to go to ruin through that foolish saying than for any other reason. Yes, he sowed his wild oats and what a fearful and unexpected harvest.” SIX SWORN JURORS IN BOX Slow Progress Being Made in Harry Thaw Trial. New York, Jan. 10.—The work of securing a jury to try Harry K. Thaw for the killing of Stanford White con- tinues before Justice Dowling. Three temporary jurors were secured at the morning session and when the lunch- eon recess was ordered the:box was filled with six permanent and six pro- visional occupants. Immediately after recess all of the six provisional jurors were excused, leaving six places yet to be filled. SUBPOENAED FOR DEFENSE Miss Edna Goodrich to Testify in Thaw Trial. New York, Jan. 10.—Just before the beginning of the morning session of the trial of Harry K. Thaw Attorney Daniel O'Reilly announced that a sub- poena for the defense had been served on Miss Edna Goodrich, the actress, who is playing here this week. Miss Goodrich failed to appear in response to a subroena last year. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, on the stand at the first trial, declared that it was Miss Good- rich who first introduced her to Stan- ford White and took her to luncheon with him. MANY SMALL BOATS LOST Severe Storm Raging on Coasts of Europe and Africa. Paris, Jan. 10.—The storm on the English channel, along the west coast of Wurope and on the North African coast is still raging and many fishing boats already have been lost. A dispatch received here from Tan- gler says that two native passenger boats foundered off El Araish, Mo- rocco. Forty persons were drowned, including some Europeans. Kiel, Germany, Jan. 10.—A violent northeast wind has driven the waters of the Baltic in shore and the low lying districts of this city are flooded to the depth of six or seven feet. Many casualties to fishing and other small craft are reported. A similar driving in of the sea is occurring at all the coast towns. Guns have been fired all day from the Lubeck fortress to warn the villagers that the sea is rising and likely to flood the country and that they should move farther inland. INSTREETS OF BERLIN Serious Rioting Follows Defeal of Manhecd Suffrage. CROWDS AT IMPERIAL PALACE Unemployed Gather Near Emperor’s Residence and Frequent Collisions Occur Between the Manifestants and the Police. $ Berlin, Jan. 11.—A demand made in the Prussian landtag for manhood sufirage in Prussia brought out the statement from Prince von Buelow, the imperial chancellor, that while the matter required refcrm the govern- ment did not consider that manhood suffrage would be good for the state and that secret voting would not be permitted. This statement was distinctly un- popular with the people, who had gathered in large numbers outside the landtag building. Riloting began and the police were speedily reinforced. The demonstration spread through the city and to control the partici vants the police had to charge with drawn sabers. A number of the riot: ers were injured and some of the po- lice sustalned wounds. The Vor waerts, the leading socialist organ, is distributing extras daclaring the hour has struck for_the masses to demand representation in parliament. After being driven away from the neighborhood of the landtag building the crowd made its way in the direc tion of the imperial palace. The po lice barred the streets leading to the palace, but they did not clear the square facing the imperial residence, where the family of the emperor are now living. In spite of the cold weather the crowd grew rapidly. It was composed principally of the um- employed, of whom it is estimated that there are at present no less than 50,000 in Berlin. Disorder Followed by Arrests. In the square some of the demon- strants became disorderly and were at once arrested. The entire police force of Berlin has been ealled out for duty in the principal parts of the city. There have been collisions between. the mani- festants and the police in several of the main thoroughfares and these re- sulted in numerous arrests. The most serious encounter was at the Kurfuer- sten bridge. Here the police had ta charge with drawn sabers. The motion for manhood suffrage was discussed in the landtag amid great uproar and finally rejected with- out a division. When the debate on the suffrage question opened Prince von Buelow declared that the Cobservative party would not permit the solid founda- tions of the Prussian elective system to be shaken and this statement was subscribed to by Herr Malkewitz, spokesman of the party. Under the present electoral system in Prussia there are three classes of electors. TUp to the present time the laboring man has beon completely de- prived of representation in the Prus- sian parliament owing to the fact that he was overwhelmed at the final elec- tions by the other two classes. HISSED BY EXCITED CROWD Popular 11l Feeling Against Dr. Peters Breaks Out. Cologne, Jan. 11.—The Peters libel suit has brought'out expressions of popular il feeling and when Peters left the courtroom at lunch time he was followed by an excited crowd shouting “Murderer” and other ep- ithets. Herr von Pechmann, who tes- tified for Peters, recelved similar treatment. Dr. Peters, who was at one time governor of German East Africa, is suing the Cologne Gazette for libel, charging that certain pub- lished statements alleging misconduct on his part in Africa are untrue. « Several of those who annoyed Pe- ters were arrested. The evidence being given at this trial is practically a repetition of that brought out at previous hearings of a similar nature, but the recitals of the witnesses are arousing considerable local indignation. Railroads Held Responsible. Trenton, N. J., Jan. 11.—The New Jersey railway commissioners, in their annual report to the governor, state that from July 29 to Dec. 1 last year 198 persons were killed and 198 in- jured by the railroads in New Jersey. Railroad companies are blamed for the long fatality list. Unguarded grade crossings are said to have been responsible for many of the accidents. Mark Twain’s Money Tied Up. New York, Jan. 11.—It developed through a letter in which he accepted the plans for the reorganization of the Knickerbocker Trust company that “Mark Twain,” the humorist, has $51,- 199 tied up in the suspended trust company. It is expected that a ma- jority of the depositors will agree to the plan for reorganization and that the trust company will be reopened. New Record in Gold Produetion. London, Jan. 11.—The Transvaal yield of gold for the month of Decem- ber makes a new record. The output was 583,626 ounces, which 1s 28,499 ounces over the previous highest yfeld for a month. The value of the De- cember output is placed at £2,478,669. SUSPECT UNDER ‘ARREST. ftalian Alleged to Be Guiity of Sev- eral Murders, Florence, Colo, Jan. 1\.--That Er- cole Buftett{ Dominick Minichietto, Joseph Minichietto and Mrs. Frank Palmetto, who mysteriously disap- peared in this city, were murdered and thelr bodles then chopped to pleces is the positive opinion of the police. The disposition of-their bodies is believed to have been partly re- Tealed by the finding of human lungs, & thora¥ and a Plee of a Tongue In the Arkansas river. It is believed that bther ghastly re- mains are being scattered along the bed of the river by the swift current and towns below have been mnotified to watch for the appearance of any evidence of murder that may come to the surface. Tony Bovori, who i8 in jail charged with the murder of the Minichfetto brothers, is sald by Chief of Police Furniss to have confessed that he killed a man in Italy before coming to America. Bovori was engaged in market gardening here in partnership with the Minichietto brothers and is accused by the ‘police of having mur- dered them in order to obtain their money and other property. He had 4360 when arrested. Buffetti was an old man employed in the garden. The police believe that he was killed be: cause of his knowledge of the other alleged murders. Mrs. Palmetto was & young divorced woman who disap- peared two months ago. She had kept house for Bovori, but repeatedly re- fused to marry him. FIVE FIREMEN INJURED. . Narrowly Escape Death in Blaze at Detroit. Detroit, Mich, Jan. 11.—Five fire men were injured, none of them seri- ously, at a fire which caused about $100,000 damage in the Forester & Cheney knitting mills. The fire broke out in the basement of the four-story plant from an unknown cause. Fire man James Donnelly was swept off a ladder at the third floor by a stream from a hose and badly bruised. Four other firemen had a narrow escape from being burned to death and in addition to suffering slight burns in- haled quantities of smoke. Firemen Harry O.. Traver, A. J. Petersmark, B. Lockman and W. F. Waterloc climbed the fire escape to the fourth floor:and were working in the build- ing there when the flames burst ‘out over the escape at one of the lower floors and rapidly mounted toward them. It was five minutes before a ladder could be raised from the ground and the fire by that time was burn- ing all about the men. Firemen on the ground played streams of water on the men as they stood on the fire escape waiting for rescue. One ot the men became frantic with fear and had to be forcibly restrained from fumping. BEACH WASHED. AWAY. Carried With It the Land End of Cable to Hatteras Station. Norfolk, Va., Jan. 11.—Confirmation has been received over the weather bureau telegraph wires that a stretch of beach 300 feet long at Oregon Inlet, N. C, was washed away during the storm of Tuesday, carrying with it the land end of the government cable to Hatteras station. It 18 not believed that a lundslide occurred, but that the off-shore Lurricane forced the tide out further than usual and blew the sand Off the beach into the sea. Tugs are how grappling for the lost cable and to ascertain if there is any material change in the bottom of the inlet. Minister Criticised Court. New York, Jan. 11.—Rev. Canon Willlam 8. Chase, rector of Christ church, Brooklyn, appeared before Justice Marean in the supreme cour’ in Brooklyn to show . cause why he should not be adjudged in contempt of court for criticising the action of the court in a Sunday closing case, but the heariug was postponed till Mon- day, Chase’s counsel being not ready. Caldwell Case Adjourned. New York, Jan. 11.—The hearing of Robert C. Caldwell, arrested recently on a charge of perjury in connection with the famous Druce case in Lon- don, was adjourned for two weeks owing to the iliness of the defendant. PEOPLE ARE USING NOTHING ELSE NOW Directions How to Make Fine Mixture Said to Relieve Kidney Trouble. To make up enough of the ‘“‘Dan- delion treatment,” which is claimed to be relieving nearly every sufferer who uses ft for backache, kidney complaint, sore weak bladder and rheumatism; get from any = good pharmycy, onehalf ounce Fluid Ex- tract Dandelion, one ounce Com- pound Kargon and three ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoon doses after each meal and again at bedtime. Those who tried tt claims- that it acts gently but thoroughly on ‘the kidneys, relieving backache ' and bladder trouble and urinary diffi- culties 'almost instantly. Many cases of rheumatism are known to have been religved with a few days, the pain .and” swelling diminishing. with each dose. A well known local druggist, who is in a position to know, asserts that this prescription, wherever it be- comes known, always ruins the sale of the numerous patent medicines rheumatism cures, kidney cures etc. It is a receipt which the majority of patent medicines manufacturers, and even certain physicians dislike to see published. Few cases, in- deed, which will'fail to fully yield to its peculiarly soothing and ’ heal- ing influence. RESULT OF DECISION Feared (Grait Prosecutors Have Lost Control of Ruef. FORMER BOSS BEST WITNESS 8an (Francisco's District Attorney Holds Lengthy.Conference With Ex. Dictator, but the Object of the Meet. Ing Is Not Divuiged. San Francisco, Jan. 11.—Following the decision- of the' district court of appeals setting aside the conviction of former Mayor Schmitz, which may have a serious effect on the prosecu: tion of the Sun Francisco graft and bribery cases, in which 441 ‘indict ments were returned, much activity prevailed among those assoclated in the prosecution. A significant feature was a_conference between Abraham Ruef, the former dictator in the poli- tes of San Francisco; Special Agent ‘William J. Burns and District Attor ney William H. Langdon in the latter's office and at the request of the district attorney. Nome of the parties to the conference would give the slightest indication as to the object and the ABRAHAM . RUEF. purpose of the meeting. However, the release of ‘Ruef on bail is a develop ment expected as a possible compro mise between him and the prosecu Uon because of thé reveérsal-of- the. Schmitz judgment, which also nullifies the plea of guilty made by Ruef. Far moré serious to the prosecution than the setling aside of the: convic tion of Schmitz, it is generally be Heved, was the appellate court’s de cision because of. its applicability tc Ruef, having the effect, it is said, of practically - destroying the prosecu tion’s hold upon. the former .political boss, who is regarded as the one and the only connecting link between the accused bribers and the board of su vervisors. TEST CASE AT CHICAGO. Youth Secures Damages for.Sale of Liquor to His Father. Chicago, Jan. 11.—A municipal court jury found William Tobin and David McHale, 'saloonkeepers, guilty of having deprived Raphael de Haven, five vears old, of means of support by selling intoxicants to his father and imposed a joint fine of $600.
