PRYOR Business Manager HTHONABGHH I £ TG40MDERT'T =Capt— - Whitneyof-the—Mar-| shall Mes: A pt the” best posted pfl?flr&u}\rthe State, in his last issue. th\}s outlines the pro- . p war plots: *The scheme is to dewn both Young and Jacohson for governor, and get 2 man who is acceptable to railroads and corporations. Bob Dunn hates: Young and does not like Jacobson, but he is backing the latter to kill off the former, and will take chances on the convention naming a man the schemers want. “The St. Paul parties to the plan would like to place Dar Reese in the executive chair, as that would suit the liquor interests, but they are afraid public sentiment is too strong for the working of such a lead, and they will give their attention to get- ing a safe man for the railroads, and either P. E. Hanson or Ripley Brower will suit them, and one of these men they are after. Hanson is not, strictly speaking, a railroad man, and could not for a moment be dictated to by the railroads, but his whole Minnesota career and his fortune are allied with the Great Northern road, and he is the per- sonal friend of Jim Hill, while Ripley Brower is Peter Hanson’s son-in-law. Both men have clean and honorable records, both are popular throuout the state and either would be con- sidered safe by the railroads and the big corporations. Just you watch this game and see if I am not right.” How does the above strike “Growler” Allen of the Sentinel, who has assumed unto himself the dictatorship of the Dunn idea? OUR BOYS, AND LEAP YEAR. LOur old triend Fred Jordan has returned to town, and will hereafter edit the leap year column of the Pioneer.] To “Bill” W.—You did quite right to refuse to receive the at- tentions of the young woman. When, in spite of your intimation that your parents objected to call- ers who ate chocolate fudge on the front porch and had the odor of vanilla soda on their breaths, she laughed and extracted a box of fudge from her pocket, you did what any true man would do when you arose and excused yourself and said you would bid her good night and good-bye. Cling to these principles, Bill. It may be diffi- cult at first, and you will find that you will have to end your acquaint- ance with some girls whom you feel you would love to know, but all is for the best. Remember that the world judges us by the company we keep, and that while we know ourselves what our char- acter is, the cruel world is always taking a whack at our repu- tation, and reputation is what keeps the invitations coming. N To Tim C.—It would really be extremely bad form for you to give your photograph to a young woman who has called on you but twice and of whose antecedents you know practically nothing. Although, as you say, her father is a noble char- acter, ask her about her mother. Your own good judgment should tell you not to give your picture to a young woman who chews gum con- tinually. Beware of young women who are all smiles and kind words to all young men. If you could get a glimpse of her room you might see many photograhs of young men on display, where they can receive the jesting comment of herself and her companions. Joe M.—You ask me what a young man should do when a young woman caller arrives just after he has washed his hair. It depends on the hair, Joe. If your hair is of the sort that is felicitously termed man’s crown- ing glory, and does not lose its natural fluffiness and luster after be- ing washed, then it might be worth while to put it into shape and run down to the parlor with a sweet apology fer being found in neglige. Otherwise let the butler say that you say you are sorry but you are not at home. Tame Your Rattlesnakes. A tame rattlesnake belonging to an Arizona farmer sleeps every night on the front gate of its owner’s garden, coiling himself around the gate and gatepost, so that a lock and chain to keep out intruders are not needed.— Pittsburg Dispatch.

New York, March 1'—Fear that a fire which was discovered on the steamer Providence while com! up through Long Island sound might en- danger the lives of his 350 passen- gers caused the captain of the steam- er to summon the steamer Richard Peck by wireless and within a few minutes the passengers had been transferred to the latter vessel. The fire on the Providence was extin- guished before much damage had been done. . The Richard Peck carried the Provi- dence’s passengers to the Fall River line dock in this city and landed them not more than half an hour late.

Im- mediately he went to sleep again and knew nothing of the shooting until he was afterward awakened. He has always borne an excellent reputation and he declares he was dreaming of burglars. THIEF LANDS IN HOSPITAL Policeman Risks Life ta Save Flesing Burglar. New York. March 1 .—~A burglar hunt which began with a policeman shooting at a fleeing robber in the fashionable district in the vicinity of Sixty-fifth street and Park avenue ended with the officer risking his life on the tracks in the New York Cen- tral tunpel to save that of the hunted man.

BRANDS HIM USURPER Congressman Willett Bitterly De- nounces the President, CAUSE OF RECENT. PANIC Declares Roosevelt Has Done More Than All Others to Shake the Confi- dence of the People in Our Form of Government. ‘Washington, March 1. :.—Denuncia- Mon was heaped upon President Roosevelt in the house of representa- [tives by Mr. Willett (Dem., N. Y.). (Mr. Willett insisted that the distress- ing effects of the panic of 1907 still were belng felt. “There seems to be,” he sald, “a comspiragy of silence @n the part of the Republican mem- bers of the house on the subjeat of oause and effect of the panic.” Those wmembers, he declared, were atraid to isttack the president for fear of his “big stick.” The preaident, he =said, Wwas “reaping the reward of his own regkless misconduct,” He: referred to ‘“the imperialistic methods” of the president as evi- denced by “the un-American discharge of whole companies of Amerioan sol- diers without trial, without proof of wullt,” and said it sounded “mere like the edict of an African chieftain er lan despet than the command of &0 American. president.” Mr. Willett charged that President Roosevelt had ‘““done more than all other presidents and all ether public men in the history of the eountry to shake the confidence of the people in our form of government and has done more than any ope in our nation’s history to destroy legitimate business, shatter confldence ameng the le and bring utter panic fnto counting room, factory, shop, effice and Home in the land and hes it- od a greater degree of self-consciSua- ness and egotism, which are the nat- ural results of power aund flattery, than any president who has ocaupted the White House.” Nevertheless, he said, “the olarion tengues of the great Republican party are silent; the peo- ple’s rights may be trampled upon, but party interests must be pretect- ed.” He charaoterized the president as “that great central deity” and sald that if the usurpations ef the presi- dent passed unchallenged by the peo- ple they would seon create the force of precedent. “Now is the time,” he exclaimed, “and we are the people to watch with jealousy such beginnings, to indignantly attack them and if pos- sible to destroy them.” In conclusion he said: “Remove the causeé of the unrest, silence the ceaseless, senseless clamor for spec- tacular effect on the part of the man in the White House and quiet will be reatored.” 8TRAUS EXPLAINS MATTER President Has Not Ordered General Probe of 8tock Exchanges. ‘Washington, March 1i{.—To correct any misapprehension that may exist through the circulation of erroneous reports concerning the investigation which Commissioner of Cerporations Smith {s making into laws affecting bucket shop operations Secretary Straus of the department of commerce and labor issued the following state- ment: 3 “Secretary Straus states in regard to the matter of bucket shops that the president has simply referred the subject to this department with the request to have Mr. Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, examine certain bills aimed at bucket shops and to report his views on the general subject. The president has not ordered any general investigation of stock exchanges and Mr. Smith has been instructed to use his own judg- ment in reporting upon the subject and getting the facts that the pres- ident desires.” WAGE CUT EXTENDING.

One phase of the feminine mania for shopping Is {llustrated In John Foster Fraser’s “America at Work.” Speaking of the C. 0. D. method of shopping and of the way in which it appeals to the woman with the slender purse, he says: “If she has no dollars, that does not deprive her of the pleasure of shop- ping. She will walk Into a big store, look over a dozen gowns and try on several before deciding. Then she will get a C. O. D. card and, visiting other departments, will buy a hat, rich un- derwear and a parasol. She will give a fine order. When the goods are de- livered at the address she mentioned, it Is found there is no such person as Mrs, Walker. True, she has put the store to a lot of trouble. Yet think of the morning of womanly “delight she has had in her shopping.” No Come Back. Some of the West Indlan Islanders have learned that when a foreigner misbehaves on their shores it is better to suffer in silence than to mete out punishment at the risk of a descending gunboat from- the miscreant’s native land. A judge in Haiti, however, re- cently took occasion to pay off old scores and to redeem his self respect in the case of an offender brought be- fore him. To his first question as to the nation- ality of the accused the interpreter had answered that the prisoner was from Switzerland. “Switzerland!” said the judge. “And Switzerland has no seacoast, has it?” “No seacoast, your honor,” replied the interpreter. “And no navy,” continued the judge. “And no navy, your honor,” was the reply. “Very well, then,” said.the judge, “glve him one .year at.hard labor.”— Brooklyn Life.
