Guerin. Chicago, Feb. 5.—Homer J. Smith of St. Paul, Ark., a former business part- ner of Webster 8. Guerin, testified in the murder trial of Mrs. Dora McDon- ald that Guerin was a gambler and blackmailer. He declared that upon one occasion he had acted as intermediary be- tween Mrs. McDonald and Guerin by obtaining $175 from Mrs. McDonald with which to send Guerin to New York. Mrs. McDonald declared, ac- cording to the witness, that she want. ed to get Guerin out of town. Guerin ‘went away. but returned and Mrs. Mc- Donald again furnished the funds for him to leave. This time he went to Sandusky and Cleveland. Smith testified that Mrs. McDonald had given $700 to Guerin which he “‘was to invest in business, but that he did not do so. He told Mrs. McDonald that Guerin had gambled it away. On another occasion, he said, Guerin tried to extort $10,000 from Mrs. McDonald In return for letters from her which he claimed to have. The money was not paid. Smith said Mrs. McDonald had told him that Guerin was troubling her all the time and that once they went to the Holy Name church to- gether and there Guerin made a vow to cease causing her further annoy- ances. On Jan. 27, 1906, Smith said he came to Chicago at the request of friends of Mrs. McDonald to make an effort to have Guerin cease his perse- cution of the woman. IHe was unable to make any definite arrangement, he said, and his trip proved fruitless. NERVOUS AND EXCITABLE. Thaw Visited by Head of New York Lunacy Commission. * Albany, N. Y., Feb. 5—Dr. Allen Ferris, president of the state lunacy commlssion, who “visited “Harry K. Thaw at Matteawan, said that Thaw appeared very nervous and excitable, but that on such a short notice it would be impossible to come to any conclusion as to his permanent mental condition. “The prisoner was very cordial and gentlemanly to me,” said Dr. Ferris. “I talked with him in a private room for about twenty minutes just after he had been in conversation with his wife. He was too excited for me to pursue any one line of questions, but was consistent in his answers. He talked about the architecture of the asylum, saying he thought it was rather crude, and said that better pro- vision ought to be made for protection | against the wind. He also said he re- membered me at the trial and that he had intended having me as one of his experts, apparently forgetting that I had testified for the state and against him at the first trial.” Dr. Ferris said that Thaw did not appear to be despondent and that he |1s Deing treated the same as any | other prisoner.

SHAKE IT OFF, WILL NOT INTERFERE Powers to Permit Portugal to Sett?: Her Gwn Affairs, OFFICIAL NOTE IS ISSUED French Government Denies Allegation That the Fall of Premier Franco Was Due to Intervention of That : Country or Great Britain. Paris, Feb. 5—An official note was published here denying the allegation made in a German newspaper and elsewhers that the fall of Premier Franco of Portugal was due to the in- tervention of either France or Great Britain. “It is equally untrue,” the statement declares, “that either Spain or Italy intend to intervene to bring about peace in Portugal. The powers will respect the rights of Portugal to deal herself with her own internal affairs.” KING MANUEL IMPROVING.% New Ruler of Portugal Recovering From His Wound. Lisbon, Feb. 5—The condition of King Manuel, who was shot in the arm and face at the time his father and brother were killed, is improving. The official organ announces that the funérals of the late king and crown prince will be held on Feb. 8 at the royal pantheon of St. Vincent de Lisbon with all the solemnity pos- sible. Material changes in the -new cab- inet have been made. Only three mem- bers of the first ministry, as an- nounced Monday, are retained. The Progressist-Dissidents have voted to support the new government on condition that all political prison- ers be fréed, that the exiles be per- mitted to reiurn to Portugal and their political rights be restored and that all existing autocratic measures con- trary to liberty be repealed. The minister of war has issued a stateraent declaring the rumors that a revolution had broken out in Oporto or elsewhere in the country to be ab- solutely untrue. “There is no undue agitation in either military or civil circles,” the statement says. “Money and values generally remain firm in spite of the assassinations of Saturday and the political difficulties of the country.” Martial law and the suspension of coustitutional guarantees have been proclaimed and the municipal authori- ties are taking the needed steps to prevent a recurrence of disorders. The palace and the public buildings are still guarded by troops and the police are in strong force on the streets. It is persistently rumored that ex- Premier Franco, who was thought to have fled to Spain, has taken refuge on board a British cruiser anchored off Cascaes, fifteen miles west of Lis- bon, and that by this means he plans to gain Gibraltar or England. Dr. Jose Maria Alperm, chief of the Progressist-Dissidents, has fled from Portugal in an automobile. He dis- guised himself in order to be able to cross the frontier. He is now closely watching the course of events in Por- tugal from Salamanca, Spain. OPINION OF CHICAGO CHIEF Anarchists Never More Than at Present. Chicago, Feb. 5.—“Never in the his- tory of Chicago have anarchists and other enemies of law and order been more dangerous than they are at pres- ent,” declared Chief of Police Shippy. “The police are watching their move- ments closely. You never know when they are going to break out.” . _Chief Shippy had just finished read- Lo = Dangerous Rid Yourself of Unnecessaryl Bur- dens.—A Bemidji Citizen Shows You How. .Don’t bear unnecessary burdens Burdens of a bad back are un- necessary.

There was a pain 1n my back and during the early part of the day I felt languid and tired out, and the soreness caused me great discom- fort. I decided to try a reliable kidney remedy and went to The Owl Drug Store, and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. 1 used them according to directions, soon the pains disappeared and that tired, languid feeling van- ished. I know Doan’s Kidney Pills to be a reliable remedy and can recommend them to anyone suffering from kidney complaint.” For sale by all dealers, Price 50 cents, Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.

SPANISH ANARCHISTS ACTIVE Large Forces of Troops on Duty in All Important Cities. Madrid, Feb. 5.—King Alfonso and Queen Victoria are at present at Seville and will return to Madrid only in case the situation in Portugal be- comes worse and it should be. desir- able for them to be near the ministry and parliament to facilitate the taking of steps necessary for the protection of Spanish interests. In addition to the strong force of Spanish troops kept along the Spanish frontier heavy detachments of soldiers are on duty day and night in all the important centers of Spain, but espe- cially at Barcelona, where the an- archists and revolutionists are said to be showing signs of activity. Official Issues Radical Order. Sebastopol, Feb., 5.—As ‘an outcome of the recent attacks by revolutionists upon the sentries on duty at the ar- senals here Rear ‘Admiral Wiren has given orders for all sentinels to fire, without. challenging, upon all suspects found in the vicinity of the arsenals or the storehouses between the hours of 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.

Washington, Feb. 5.—Senator Nel- son presented in the senate a sweep- ing hill, complete in all its provisions and perhaps drastic in its penalties, providing for the federal incorporation of corporations that are engaged in interstate commerce. The bill is very extensive, covering more than twenty typewritten pages. It is intended to be complete, in that it furnishes all necessary definitions and essentials for perfecting corpora- tions under the federal law. Senator Nelson’s bill provides for voluntary incorporation of all firms, companies or corporations engaged in interstate commerce and provides that the measure shall in all its terms apply to and govern all officers, agents, incorporators and stockholders of a corporation that shall take advantage of the provisions of the aw. Full provisions are contained in the measure for governing the amount of capital stock to be lssued, the par value of each share of stock, the amount to be paid in on each share subscribed before the company en- gages in business. The articles of in- corporation are required to be filed with the commissioner of incorpora- Hons in the department of commerce. FOR USE IN MACEDONIA. Would England’s Foreign Minister Equip Flying Squadrons. London, ¥eb. 5—The plan of Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary, for the restoration of order in Mace- donia includes the formation of flying columns, to be supplemented by in- creases in the gendarmerie forces, all to be commanded by foreign officers with definite executive powers. Sir Edward has laid these proposals be- fore the powers of Europe that are Interested in the maintenance of order in' Macedonia. He is of the opinion that the funds to equip these forces adequately should be obtained by ef- fecting economy through the reduc- tion in the number of Turkish troops now in Macedonia. BEGIN SERVING TIME. Toledo (0.) Icemen Given Six Months - in Jail. Toledo, O. Feb. 5.—Roland Beard and Compton Lemman of the Hygla Ice company and Joseph Miller, man- ager of the Toledo Ice and Coal com- pany, were sentenced to six months in the county jail and to pay costs of prosecution by Judge Kinkade for con- spiracy in restraint of trade. These men were found guilty last July and at that time Judge Kinkade sentenced each of them to six months in the ‘workhouse and $2,500 fine. The case was appealed and a few days ago the supreme court handed down a decision declaring the conviet- ed men could be sent to jail but not to the workhouse. They were re- mended to the common pleas court for resentence and while the fine was not assessed the workhouse sentence was changed to the county jail. No further effort will be made in behalf of the defendants and they at once be- gan their term of sentence. All the men are of prominent To- ledo families. CARRIED EIGHTEEN MEN. Hope Abandoned for Safety of Steam- ship Bluefields. Philadelphia, Feb. 5.—All hope for the steamship Bluefields, which sailed from Jacksonville on Jan. 21 for Phila- delphia, has practically been aban- doned and the best that is hoped for now is that Captain Higgins and his crew may have been picked up by some foreign bound vessel. It is feared the vessel foundered on the night of Jan. 23, when one of the greatest storms that has been known for years swept the North Atlantic coast. The Bluefields was laden with lum- ber and carried a crew of eighteen men. Bridge Wrecked hy Dynamite.

Spoiled Their Waltzing. In her memoirs Mme. de Boigne gives some interesting glimpses of English social life. For instance, she writes: “In 1816 no young English lady ven- tured to waltz. The Duke of Devon- shire returned from a tour in Germany and observed one evening at a large ball that a woman was never seen to better advantage than when waltzing. I do not know. whether he was anx- lous to play a trick, but he repeated this assertion several times. It was passed from mouth to mouth, and at the next ball all the young ladies were waltzing. The duke admired them greatly, said that it was delightful and gave proper animation to a ball. He then added carelessly that he, at any rate, had decided never to marry a lady who waltzed. It was to the Duchess of Richmond and at Carlton House that he saw fit to make this revelation. The poor duchess, the most clumsy of matchmaking mammas, near- ly fell off her chair with horror. She repeated the statement to her neigh- bors, who passed it on, and consterna- tlon spread from seat to seat. The youhg ladies continued to waltz with clear consciences. The old ladies were furious, but the unfortunate dance was concluded. Before the end of the even- ing the good Duchess of Richmond was able to announce that her daugh- ters felt an objection to waltzing ‘which no persuasion of hers could ever overcome. Some few girls of more in- dependence continued to waltz, but the majority gave it up.” After the Honeymoon. “Pa,” inquired a small boy on the Oakland boat, “what’s a simoon?” “Huh!” grunted the man without looking from his paper. “Simoon’s sand storm on the dessert, dreaded by travelers.” “And, pa, what's a honeymoon?” “Honeymoon’s rice storm on a train, enjoyed by travelers.” “Then a honeymoon’s something like a simoon, ain’t it, pa?” “Guess so. Keep quiet. Don't ask 80 many fool questions. Look at the sea gulls.” “RBut ain’t they a good deal alike, pa -—simoons and honeymoons?” “Ugh, huh, both full of hot air! Most honeymoons become simoons in a few years. When the honey’s gone the sigh’s left.” “Pa, were you ever on a honey- moon?” “Percy, if you don’t stop pestering me with questions I'll never bring yon over to the city again.” “Well, ma said she had a honeymoon, and it was like a dream, and all the rest of it's been a nightmare.”—San Francisco Chronicle. Life Saving and Law. The Roumanians are as” curious in some things as the Chinese. A girl who fell into the river and was swept down by the current finally seized a bush on the bank and drew herself to shore. The owner of the land on which the bush grew immediately claimed a reward of 4 shillings because ‘his bush was there and bad saved her. Her father refused to pay, and there was a lawsuit. What the law has to decide is whether drowning people can make use of bushes on the bank with- out paying for the same or whether the assistance of the said bush is worth a certain sum of money. i In China if a person falls'into the ‘water no .one must help him out, but at the same time a spectatdr can be im- prisoned for not advising the victim to stay on dry land. - : Externally.
