He is a born comedian and brings to his audience that rare treat; clean, pure fun. His humor is delicious. Everybody likes his funny people but best of all, they like him. But he is not’always laughing and: mak- ing others laugh.

The management of the “Big Bemidg” basketball team has closed a deal whereby a game will be played in this city on Friday even- ing of next week with the strong Y. M. C. A. basketball team of Duluth. The visting team is- said to be the championship basketball organiza- tion of Duluth, and claims the championship of northeastern Min- nesota; and as the “Big Bemidg” has yet to be defeated by a basket- ball team in the middle or western portion of the north half of the| state, the game to be played next week will be for the basket cham- pionship of northern Minnesota as a whole. The Duluth team has been de-| feated but once this season, and the| defeat was administered by a Wis‘| consin organization (from Superior). “Big Bemidg” lost one game this winter, and that defeat was at the hands of the Grand Forks team last week. The status of the Duluth and the Bemidji teams is about a “‘stand-off,” and the game that will be played here on Friday evening of next week promises to be the fastest and most hotly-contested game ever seen in this part-of the state. The management of the “Rig Bemidg” team has made every effort to get a game here with the Uni- versity of Minnesota basketball team, but although the “U” players have agreed to come here on two occasions, the management of the team in both instances subsequently canceled the dates. Negative Side Won. -~ Tenstrike, Jan. 18.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The second debate in the series arranged by the Tenstrike Literary club was held here last evening. The subject for discussion was: “Resolyed, That capital punish- ment be abolished.” The decision of the audience was in favor of the negative. Married by Judge Slocum.

BELIEVED HIM [IRRATIONAL Number of Witnesses Tell of Harry ‘Thaw’s Actions. New York, Jan. 18.—The defense at the Thaw trial continued ‘to build up Its ever tightening net of irrationality around the man accused of the mur- der of Stanford White. Two impor- tant witnesses at the miorning ses- sion were Miss Alice C. Fletcher of the archaeological bureau of the Smithsonjan institution at’ Washing- ton, a long tlme friend of the Thaws and a frequent visitor at their home, and Miss Catherine ~O'Neill, who nursed Thaw during six years of his childhood: They both declared he was an irrational youth and detailed the many incidents in his life which had led them to the conclusion. Mrs. Evelyn: Nesbit Thaw unexpect- edly was called to the stand just be- fore noon, but was withdrawn a mo- ment. later to make way for other witnesses. . . Miss Alice C. Fletcher of Washing- ton, D. €., who said she had been a frequent visitor at the Thaw house- hold in Pittsburg and had known Harry K. Thaw for twenty-six years, was the first witness. She sald Thaw was an unusual child—nervous and moody, with wild and staring eyes. He seldom talked coherently and was unable to carry on a sustained con- versation. . g Catherine O'Nelll, an elderly wo- man, who was a nurse in the Thaw family for six years and took charge of Harry K. Thaw when he was be- tween three and fout years old, testi- fled as.to the childhood of the de- fendant. She described him as very nervous and moody. He would have nervous outbreaks which would end in complete collapse. His mouth would twitch and- there. were many facial contortions. 2 The nervous outbreaks occurred during all of ihe years the nurse was in the employ -of the family, causing her to reach the conclusion that Harry’s mind was'affected. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Called. Mr. Littleton here caused a ripple of excitement by calling Evelyn Nes- bit Thaw to the stand. Young Mrs. Thaw, in her blue schoolgirl dress, appeared promptly and walked brisk- ly to the witness -chair, where Clerk Penny administered the usual oath. ‘While Mrs. Thaw was sitting with an anxious face ready for her exam- ination Mr. Littleton changed tactics and asked her to withdraw for the time being to make way for Policeman Thomas F. Liynch, who was doorman at the Tenderloin police station at the time Thaw was confined there follow- ing the shooting of Stanford White. Lynch repeated,.the testimony he gave at the first.trjal as to Thaw com- plaining the morning after his arrest of hearing the:ypices of children ten oritwelve yearsoaf age in the tier of cells above his:osn. The officer, said to Thaw: ‘“Yompmust be dopey; I don’t lear anything.” : Doorman Barretf, who was on duty at the station when Thaw first was brought there, followed Lynch and added his opinion. to that of his brother ofticer that Thaw acted like an irrational man. Barrett declared, on cross-examination, that Thaw, when arraigned at the-sergeant’s desk in the police station, appeared like a man who had: been stabbed or shot himself. . “His eves were something terrible,” exclaimed the witness; “they stuck out like two hard boiled eggs.” The officer and the district attorney renewed the battle they had at the last trial and the cross-questioning was continued at great length. Thaw, the doorman declared, complained during the night that some one was beating and abusing little girls in the gtation. FOR : RECENT BOND. ISSUE Chicago University Professor Criti- _ cises Administration. Chicago, Jan.''i8.—A “bluff,” a “flashy bid for ignorant votes,” a “po- litical measure intended for popular consumption” areé some of the expres- slous -used by Professor J. Laurence Laughlin, head of the department of political economy i the ‘University of Chicago, in taking the national ad- ministration to task for the recent bond issue. He says that “it was con- ceived in the fertile mind of some high official who had no knowledge of banking.” gk His views are presented in the Jan- tary number of the Journal of Polit- lcal Economy, issued from the Uni- versity of Chicago press. Professor Laughlin, who was one of the profes- sors recently “loaned” to Germany in the new “exchange” policy of the Uni- versity of Chicago, enumerates eight. objections to the bond issue. Masonic Temple Destroyed. Baltimore, Jan: 18.—The Masonic temple, on North Charles street be- Lween Lexington and Baratoga streets, has been gutted by fire. All of the structure above the second floor is a hollow shell. For a time old St. Paul’s Protestant Episeopal church adjoining was threatened. The building, which is owned, by the grand lodge of Ma- sons, Is insured for $800,000 and the contents for $35,000. A Wise Little Milliner. “If 1 had insisted,” said the milliner, “T could have sold her a hat that cost $10 more, but I was afrald that if she took it I should lose her trade. I knew her husband wouldn’t like it. It fsn't the expense he. would object to, but the hat. She is a countrywoman, and he 18 a countryman. Countrymen do not ke-New York hats—that is, hats of the exaggerated type. I never yet sold an extreme style to an out of town woman without losing her custom. THe men at home always said, ‘Well, if that's the best you can do in New York—come back with a scarecrow thing like that—you’d better buy your hats nearer home.’ And thereafter that s just what the women do. That is why 1 now_sell nothing but modest looking hats to counfry customers, "I but when they return will become members. can’'t afford to antagonize their hus- bands.”—New York Times. ORDERAGAINCHANGED Troops to Remain at Goldfield a Skort Time Longer. PRESIDENT GIVES CONSENT Governor Sparks Wires Executive That Legislature Is Perfecting Plans to Organize a State Force and Asks Delay in Removing Regulars. ‘Washington, Jan. 18.—President Roosevelt has informed Governor Sparks of Nevada by telegram that he would permit the troops to remain in Nevada for snch reasonable length of time as would give the legislature op- portunity to organize a force to per- form the police functions of the state. This information was in response to a communication from the governor to the effect that the legislature was per- fecting legislation to the end stated. The communication to the president from Governor Sparks, quotes the res- olntion adopted by the Nevada state legislature without a dissenting vote and earnestly urges the president to carefully consider the same. “We are working on a constabulary” law and will keep you advised of progress,” the governor concludes. The presi- dent’s reply is as follows: “In response to your telegram trans- mitting the resolution of the legisla- ture of Nevada I authorize you to in- form the legislature that in accord- ance with its request I will permit the troops to remain in Nevada for such reasonable length of time as will give opportunity to the législature to or- ganize such police force as will enable the state authorities to perform the police functions of the state. I as- sume, of course, that there will be all posgible expedition in providing this police force.” Applicalions for a congressional in- vestigation of the Goldfield (Nev.) mining trouble are being received by the house committee on labor. The most urgent demand, it was said, seemed to be that some ‘means be provided for the retention of the troops at Goldfield until all possibility of trouble should be obviated. The house committee on labor has voted to report favorably the resolu- tion calling on the president for the full data of the report of the Goldfield labor troubles made to him by the special commiission of investigation. RESULT OF JAP AGITATION Resolution Calling for Impeachment of British Columbia Official. Victoria, B. C, Jan. 18—Following the opening of the legislature with the usual ceremonies by Lieutenant Gov- ernor Dunsmuir Mr. Hawthorthwaite, Socialist member from Nanimo, en- deavored to introduce a resolution calling for ‘the.impeachment of the lieatenant governor for having disal- lowed the anti-Japanese legislation of last session. The speaker ruled that the motion was not sufficiently urgent to be taken up at the opening session of the house preceding the usual formal motions to which the opening day is usually de- voted. The resolution stated that it was shown at the recent inquiry that Lieutenant Governor- Dunsmuir in his private capacity had contracted with the Canadian-Nippon company of Van- couver to procure 500 Japanese for work in his mines, while publicly he disallowed the measure tending to prevent the immigration of such Japa- nese laborers. TAFT CERTAIN OF OHIO. Has Already Secured Majority in the State Convention. Columbus, O., Jan. 18.—With just half the counties of the state heard from the management of the canvass for William H. Taft for the Repub- lican presidential nomination asserted that more than 500 delegates in the state convention, or far more than the control, have already been chosen in favor of Taft. In the majority~of the cases resolutions have been passed endorsing Taft and in all but three the state call has been followed with- out question. In only one place, Lake county, was open opposition to the Taft primary ticket reported. . FAILS TO ENDORSE HUGHES Stormy Session of New York County Republican Committee. New York, Jan. 18.—An attempt’to force consideration of the tabled reso- lution endorsing Governor Hughes for the Republican nomination for presi- dent was defeated at what was prob- ably the stormiest session in the polit- ical histery of the New York Repub- lican county committee. After nearly three hours of debate, leharacterized by a fist fight, bitter in- vectives and frequently by cheers, hisses and catcalls, an adjournment for one month was taken with noth- ing more than routine business hav- ing been transacted. Evidently a Case of Suicide. Burlington, Ia., Jan. 18.—The dead body of Dr. George W. Jones of Keo- kuk, who disappeared Christmas night, has been found in the brush two miles north of Burlington. There was a bullet hole in his head and his throat had been slashed. A penknife clasped tightly in the dead man’s hand indi- cated that he had committed suleide. APPEALS DIRECT TO CZAn General Stoessel Accuses Courtmar- tial of Discrimination. St. Petersburg, Jan. 18.—Lieutenant General Stoessel has sent a protest direcf to Emperor Nicholas against the exclusion of witnesses for the de- fense and other alleged discrimina- tions by the ‘courtmartial which is try- Ing him on the charge of having sur- rendered Port Arthur to the Japanese before the resources of the fortress were exhausted. As a result of this action General Stroukoff, Emperor ! Nicholas® personal aide-de-camp, took a seat upon Thie bénch in coiirt for the purpose of furnishing a report GENERAL STOESSEL. direct to the.emperor. It was notice- able that the judges showed the de- fense greater consideration than here- tofore. The telegram sent by General Stoessel, who, as an aide-de-camp, is privileged to communicate personally with his majesty, declared that the court had refused to hear about one- half of the witnesses who were ready to testity in justification of the sur- render. He asked nothing but justice in the trial and said he believed that the emperor would not refuse an old soldier every opportunity to clear his impeached honor. BLACK HAND AFTER HIM. Chicago Police Captain Warned of His Danger. Chicago, Jan. 18.—A letter warning him that several Ttalians had con- spired to murder him because of his endeavors to capture members of a blackmailing band has been received by Captain Francis Barcal of the Chi- cago avenue police station. It ap- parently had been written by a wo- man and was in Italian. There was no signature, as the writer said if she revealed her identity she feared the conspirators would kill her. The letter had been mailed from the North Side and efforts will be made by Captain Barcal to learn the iden- tity of the sender. “I do not place much weight in the warning,” said Captain Barcal, “but then it is a good thing to be on the alert, as something may result.” In the warning the captain 18 given the addresses of his alleged would-be assailants and these are in the Itallan colony on the North Side. The In- former tells of a meeting of the con- spirators, at which she was present unknown to the men. TEN-HOUR BATTLE FOUGHT French Troops Finally Defeat Moorish Force. Tangier, Jan. 18.—News has reached here of a terrific ten-hour engagement in a ravine near Seitat, Morocco, be- tween a French column under the command of General d’Armade and a column commanded by Mulai Rachild, one of the chiefs of Mulai Hafid’s forces. The French dispersed the enemy and occupied Settat. Twenty of the French soldiers were wounded and many of the Arabs were killed. Paris, Jan. ¥8.—In the face of the growing fanaticism of the Moors in favor of Mulai Hafid the position of France in Morocco is increasingly dif- ficult. Apprehensions are cropping up that perhaps France may have been backing the wrong herse and that it would be better to accept Mulai Hafid if he does not repudiate the Algeciras act. At any rate the government is now marking time pending develop- ments. IN SNELL WILL CASE. Letters of Aged ‘Man and His Women Correspondents Read. Clinton, Ill, Jan. 18.—As a climax to a series of sensational develop- ments in the suit to break-the will of Colonel Thomas Snell in the circuit court here came the formal reading of the letters which were received by the colonel from his numerous women correspondents and the missives sent by the old man in return. After de- voting the greater part of two days to the reading of the letters the law- yers completed the big job and ex- pressed themselves as satisfied with the perusal. ENGAGEMENT IN HAYTL Government Forces Meet " Revolutionists. Washington, Jan. 18.—A cablegram received at the navy department re- ported that a party of revolutionists had landed at St. Marc, Hayti; that an engagement had followed with the government troops; that some of the combatants had been killed, but that no Americans were among the num- ber. The gunhoats Des Moines and Pa- ducah, which are now off the Domin- jcan coast, will soon be sent to Hay- tian waters to observe the develop- ments.
