RUTLEDGE; Business Manager Managing Editor Tntered in the postofice at Bemldjl. Minr., 8 second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_— The friends of Albert Kaiser of Bagley are vigorously pushing his candidacy as a delegate from the Ninth Congressional District to the Republican National convention. Since his name was first mentioned as a candidate for the position, Mr. Kaiser has received very many flattering notices from the press in this district, all of which are well deserved. In a letter to the editor of the Pioneer, Mr. Kaiser states that he is for Taft and if he goes to Chicago his vote will be cast for that gentlemen as a republican candidate for president. This should “cinch” the matter of his being chosen a delegate to the con- vention. We note by the Grand Rapids Independent that George Riddell has been nominated as a candidate for president of the village council at that place. At the caucus held Wednesday evening, Mr. Riddell won the nomination by a vote of 252 against 69 for a Mr. Erskine, with 38 votes scattering. This is a flattering endorsement of Mr. Rid- dell as head of the municipal govern- ment of Grand Rapids and it is well deserved. The writer has known Mr. Riddell for a number of years, and we know him to be well worthy of the honor which is bestowed up- on him by people of the “Rapids.” He is broad-minded and conserva- tive and possesses most excellent judgment—qualities which should be possessed by the head of any municipality.

Dillon, Mont., March 6.—A sensation was caused in this city when it was disclosed that Emery Pulver, a well known soclety man of this city, had been shot and fatally wounded. Dr. H. A. Bond was awakened and found Pulver prostrate at his door, where he had been carried by friends. Three arrests have been made. The police are investigating if Pul- ver's condition has anything to do with the holdup of Henry Cahill, a sa- loonman. Cahill was going home when he was accosted by two men and dragged into an alley. Cahill shot one of the men through the stomach. The other one then felled Cahill and robbed him after beating him into in- sensibility. 8hoots Wife, Son and Himself. New York, March "4—“Steeple Jack" O'Brien, one of the aerlal artists whose daring feats have entertained street crowds in New York for years, shot his wife, his elghteen-year-old son, Brnest, and himself. The boy Will recover, but the parents are critically wounded. After an absence from home of two years, O'Brien re- turned and sought reconciliation with his wite. They quarrelled and the shooting followed. e SR e Dozen Posses After Negro. Bhreveport, Ky., March (.—A dozen posses are searching for an unknown negro who called an aged druggist named Aulds from his bed and asked him to go to his store and get some medicine for a sick child. As the old man stepped into the door of the stora the negro pressed a shotgun against his back and fired, killing him in- stantly. Some children act as if it were a constant surprise to them that thelr parents had the excellent taste to pick them out.—Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror., CHINAFEARS COERCION Japan Threatening to Use Force to Recover Seized Vessel, - FILES DEMANDS AT PEKING Asks Unconditional Release of Steam- ship and Insists That China Protect the Shippers by Buying the Cargo of Arms on Board. e Peking, March ~.—Japan is threat- ening force to recover the Japanese steamer Tatsu Maru, which is still retained by China at Huangou, on the Siklang, or West river. This vessel was seized at Macao Feb. 7 by Chi- nese customs cruisers on the charge that the cargo of arms and ammuni- tion was intended for Chinese revo- luticnists, although consigned to a merchant of that place. The cargo of the vessel is still on board. Chang Jen Chun, viceroy of Canton, before taking action, is said to be awaiting proof that the vessel and its cargo should not be confiscated. The coercion of China is feared here on account of the weakness of government and because of the doubt- ful legality of Chang Jen Chun’s ac- tion in seizing the Japanese steamer. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese min- ister to China, has handed to the Chi- nese government Japan’s refusal to accept China’s proposal to appoint a joint Japanese and Chinese commis- sion to examine all the charges, in the meantime releasing the Tatsu Maru under bond. Japan’s demands are, first, the unconditional release of the steamer, and, second, an arrange- ment to protect the shippers from loss. This second proviso means that China must buy the cargo on board the Tatsu Maru. TOKIO DENIES REPORT. Has No intention of Using Force Against China. Tokio, March ‘—The Japanese gov- ernnmient, while maintaining the firm- est attitude concerning the seizure of the ship Tatsu Maru by the Chinese at Macao Feb. 7, entertains no idea of resorting to force for the recovery of the vessel. Possibly in the event that China de- lays action Japan will appeal to Eng- land or America to act as .interme- diary in the matter. The foreign office has assured the Associated Press cor- respondent that Japan never would declare war on account of such a minor incident, nevertheless it is be- lieved proper that Japanese war ves- sels should visit the neighborhood of the imprisoned ship. Attention is called to the fact that British warships and torpedo boats recently visited Canton, where a Brit- ish vessel was attacked and robbed by Chinese pirates near that city. Takahira Discusses Incident. ‘Washington, March .—*“I think the good sense of China will result in a satisfactory settlement within a day or so.” This was Baron Takahira’s comment when asked regarding the recent seizure by China of the Japa- nese steamship Tatsu Maru with a cargo of small arms aboard. The statement was made at the conclusion of an extended conference between the baron and Secretary Root at the state department. No serious trouble, he repeated, was anticipated between his country and China as the conse- quence of the incident. FLOUR TRADE THREATENED Chinese Product Underselling Amer- ican at Harbin. Mukden, March \—Japan has been compelled to vacate or buy all of the Russian banks throughout Manchuria seized during the war and conse- quently has lost prestige with the Chinese. At Harbin flour milled from Chinese wheat is underselling Amer- ican flour and the American trade is threatened. The commands of the viceroy are readily obeyed and foreign influence has been reduced so that foreign en- croachment is impossible. This cre- ates a barrier against Russia and suits Japan, but lifts the influence of that nation. The demands made by tJapan have not been settled, but the Chinese government is becoming more conclliatory concerning regula- tions in the foreign settlements which have been opened in various towns. American agricultural implements are gradually finding a market in Man- churia which promises great possibili- ties. It is believed that the only effective means of preserving the open door will be the purchase by China of the South Manchurian railway. Populists Endorse Bryan. Omaha, March .—With the largest number of delegates at any Nebraska Populist meeting for four years the Populist state convention was called to order in Washington hall. Resolu- tions reaffirming the Omaha platform enunciated in 1892 and declaring for the support of Bryan by all Populists were passed. CHILDREN GET OUT SAFELY Fire Occurs in gh School at Grand Rapids, Mich, Grand Rapids, Mich.,, March /i— Grand Rapids was threatened with a repetition of Cleveland’s tragedy on an even larger scale. Fire broke out in the laboratory of the Central high school while 1,200 pupils were in the midst of the mgrning work. The sig- nal for the fire drill was given and the children marched out in perfect order. The building was emptied in two and one-half minutes. The Central high school is over- crowded and the stairways inadequate and fears of a possible panic have long been felt, but the fire drill proved effective. v The fire did comparatively little damage. That there was no_panic in the AT =5 school was probably due to the fact that a professional photographer had been taking flashlight pictures in the corridor of the high school a few min- utes before the fire broke out and the children had been warned not to bé alarmed. When the firemen came and drill began they thought, therefore, that it was for another picture and all of them marched out quietly. The fire started below the floor of the chemical laboratory on the first floor and only quick action by the fire department prevented a serious fire. NEGRO SURRENDERS. Frank Johnson Voluntarily Gives Up to the Sheriff. Clarksburg, W. Va., March | \—With drawn rifles a company of deputy sheriffs around Frank Johnson, a ne- gro murderer, in charge of Sheritt Flanagan, forced a way through a mob of 2,000 people who surrounded the county jail and the prisoner was sofely taken into the prison. So quickly was the prisoner hurrled through the crowd that there was lit-{¢ tle opportunity for demonstration or the violence that had been feared. Johnson surrendered to Sheriff Flana- gan by voluntarily coming out of the log barn on the Yates farm on Syca- more creek, nine miles from here, and giving himself up to the big posse that had surrounded the place and held the negro in seige since Tuesday night, exchanging many shots with him. The three members of the posse who were shot during attacks on the barn will recover. They are Willlam Metheny, a school teacher, shot in the head; H. Cork, a farmer, wounded in the arm, and James Wamsley, a far- mer, also wounded in the arm. BOY OF FIFTEEN ACCUSED Six Crowded Bronx Tenements Are Set on Fire. New York, March i.—An incendiary who kindled fires in six crowded tene- ment buildings in the borough of the Bronx endangered the lives of hun- dreds of persons and kept firemen and policemen on the run for many hours. Anthony Barber, fifteen years old, was arrested and was recognized by several witnesses as having been seen running from two of the temements shortly before the fires. All the fires were set in woodbins in the base- ments. Firemen rescued numerous tenants from fire escapes. Two women and four children were found in different apartments unconscious from smoke, but were revived. There were panics in some tenements fired, but no loss of life. The financial loss was small. SENATOR PROCTOR DEAD. Expires at Washington After a Brief Iliness. ‘Washington, March J. — United States Senator Redfield Proctor of Vermont is dead at his apartments at the Champlain hotel here after a short illness following an attack of grip. Senator Proctor was seventy-seven years old. The senator had been ill and con- fined to his room for about a week. His allment was diagnosed as the grip, which later developed into pleu- risy, with pneumonia compiications, which affected the heart and which in his enfeebled condition proved too much for his powers of resistance. Senator Proctor had been a con- spicuous factor in politics and busi- ness interests of Vermont for many years and was reputed to be one of the wealthiest members of the United States senate. GOOD WINTER FOR STOCK Losses in Montana the \ightest on Record. Helena, Mont., March {.—Stockmen of Montana say that the present win- ter has been remarkably favorable to their interests; in fact, with only a single exception, just twenty years ago, has there been so universally mild weather. Only once this year has the thermometer gone below zero in a marked degree and the ‘“spell” lasted only a few days. The result is that cattle, sheep and horses are in excellent condition and it is confldent- 1y expected that the lightest losses on record will be recorded. This is in great contrast to last year, when in February and March, after an unus- ually long and severe period of three months, horses, cattle and sheep fell victims by the score to the rigorous winter. Jail and Fine for Ranchman. Helena, Mount, March ,—United States Judge Hunt has imposed a sen- tence of forty-eight hours .in jail and $200 fine on J. E. Hein, a well known Cascade county ranchman, who plead- »d guilty to the charge of illegal fenc- ing of government lands in that sec- on. 2 Governor Hughes Threatened. Albany, N.
