A Thief River special telegram to the St. Paul dailies says: “Harry Ives, heavyweight editor of the St. Hilaire Spectator, and one of the best known men of this sec- tion, is said to be a candidate for the Republican nomination for rep- resentative from this district. He has not yet announced himself, but his friends are already doing some hustling in his behalf.” Whether J. J. Opsahl will be a candidate for re-election, the Pioneer is not informed, but it is more than likely that he will. If he does, he will give the St. Hilaire man a “race for the money.” Ives is no light- weight, physically, tipping the scales (avoirdupois) at over 300 pounds. Whether he is as heavy politically, comparatively speaking, is another matter. SOME MORE FOR THE AMATEUR GARDENER By “Doc™1 Since we printed our suggestions last week, we have” received some very pertinent inquiries as to our authority on gardening. “Ought tomotoes to be planted in tomato cans for a rooef garden?” pathetically inquires one neophite. “I found that I'planted too many green peas last season,” in despera- tion, writes another.” “If the same thing should happen‘again this year, what can I do to change part of them to sweet peas?” “Does celery thrive best in the cellar?”’ asks a third; while one sub- subscriber, torn by a conflict of doubt, asks if it is positively neces- sary for geese to be raised in the same yard with gooseberries. However, we are not one whit dis- cour1ged, and here is some more for amateur: Now is the time to” turn your at- tention to your onion sets. Itis well to be conservative in select- ing your first sgt of onions. Some gardeners are extravagant in this regard and procure sets that do not "fit their gardens. A small set will furnish “you quite_enough in- terest for the first” season and enable you to judge of “your de- mands for next season. "In response to several inquiries we will say that there is no likeness between onion sets and henssetting. To get the best result with ground _mustard, fill “an__empty talcum powder can with' the quan- tity you desire to sow and dust it evenly over the surface of the ground. Do this early; then if your other crops 'do not come up as they “should, the mustard will draw them out. _Any_good_dentifirice _will keep the teeth of the rake clean. Any dentist will tell you that it is econo- mical to have the teeth inspected twice a “year. Darn your hose as often as they need it, unless'they are the’ kind that are guaranteed not to wear in_holes for six months. CONVICTED OF PEONAGE. / Seven Remdants of Missouri Sent tc Penitentiary. St. Louis, April 2—S8even men from Southeast Missouri, who had been con victed in the federal court on the charge of peonage, surrendered to United States Marshal Morsey and were taken by him to the United States prison at Leavenworth, Kan., to serve thelr terms.

Smith, Jr., $5,000, two and one-half years; Will- fam Wood, $100, two and one-half years; Floyd Wood, $100, two years; W. Lee Rodgers, $100, two years; Ben Fleld, $100, one and one-half years; Ben Stone, $100, one and one-half years.

Land Fraud Trial Finally Begun at Washlington. ‘Washington, April 2—The trial of the land fraud cases against Frederick Dimond and Joost H. Schnelder, in- volving an alleged conspiracy to de- . fraud the United States out of valu- able lands in several Western states, was begun here before Justice Staf- ford in criminal court No. 1. Upwards of 800 witnesses from fourteen states in the West, where the alleged fraud- ulent acquirement of lands was effect- -.ed, are here for the trial. i This case has been on the docket ' of the courts here and in California lor the past four years, the trial hav- 40g been postponed from time to time. CRITICAL N HAYTI Reports to Paris Say Complets Anarchy Prevails. MAY BE FORCED TO ACT State Department Officials Say Inter vention on Part of United States Is One of the Remote Possibilities of Present Disturbances. Paris, April 2.—A special dispatch received here from Port au Prince, Hayti, says that the situation there is extremely grave and that complete an- archy prevails. A dispute is sald to have arisen between General Jules Coicou, chief of the military district of Port au Prince, and Camaille Gabriel, nephew of President Nord, as to their respective powers in coping with the situation. The dispatch further declares that American warships are preparing to land troops. Washington, April 2—American in- tervention in Hayti is regarded by officlals of the state department as one of the most_remote consequences of the present domestic disturbances in that island. Official dispatches which have reached the department from diplomatic and naval sources do not show, according to information ob- tainable, that the situation has changed materially or become more grave within the past few days. It is said that no orders have gone from here directing the landing of marines from American warships. The gen- eral order to protect American inter- ests would justify such landing at any time American interests might be in Jeopardy. INDIANA REPUBLICANS. Convention Will Present Fairbanks as Presidential Candidate. Indlanapolis, April 2.—Indiana Re- publicans are in state convention here to adopt a platform, formally present to the country Charles Warren Fair- banks, vice president 6f the United States, as their choice for the presi- dency, instruct the thirty Indlana del- egates to the national convention to vote and persistently work for his nomination and to name & state ticket. Following the adoption of committee reports Mr. Overstreet delivered the keynote address, followed by speeches by United States Senators Beveridge and Hemenway. It was agreed by a large majority of the party leaders that the most prominent planks in the platform, in additlon to the strong resolution in- structing for Vice President Fair- banks, should be one favoring local option, with the county as a unit, and the other would follow the advice of Vice President Fairbanks and urge a revision of the tariff by a special ses- slon of congress to be called Immedi- ately after the fall elections. ASLEEP AT THE TIME. Somnambulist Acquitted on Charge of Burglary. Chicago, April 2.—Ross Freeman, twenty years old, a victim of somnam- bulism and epilepsy, was on account of his affliction acquitted in Judge Brentano’s court here of a charge of burglary. Freeman was accused of breaking into the home of Fred Fol- ger, a-saloonkeeper, and of attacking Folger when the latter surprised the intruder in his kitchen. The defense placed on the stand allenists who tes- tified it was their belief that Freeman was asleep when he entered Folger's home and that his attack upon Folger was not an indication of criminality. Freeman was classed by attorneys for the defense with Julius Caesar, Na- poleon and Lincoln, all of whom, it ‘was contended, were subject to lapses of mental control through somnam- bulism or epilepsy. DRESSED IN SCANTY ATTIRE Rush Guests of Minneapolis Hotel Into the Street. Minneapolis, April 2—Ciad only in their night clothes the guests of the National hotel rushed out into the street because of a fire panic. The fire was discovered by Willlam Jossey, a theatrical man. He at once turned in the alarm. The clanging of bells aroused the other guests, most of whom were theatrical people, and all made a mad rush for the door. No one was injured in the panic and the fire was extinguished with little trouble. Exchanges Will Close Galleries. New York, April 2—Following the receipt from police headquarters of a warning that evidence had been- ob- tained that an anarchistic attack might be made upon the members of the ex- change the Consolidated Stock Ex- change has decided to close its gal- leries. Similar warnings are said to have been sent to officials of the other exchanges, including the New York Cotton Exchange and the New York Btock Exchange. Engineers Refuse to Work. Quincy, Mass., April 2—The 108 en- gineers employed at the granite quar- ries in this city refused to report for work. Operations are practically at a standstill. Failure to agree on a wage scale caused the strike. LANE REPLIES TO HILL. Commerce Commissioner . Disputes Railroad Man’s Prediction. Washington, April 2.—Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane said re- specting the railroad situation in the country as pictured by James J. Hill in his New York interview of Mon- day: “A year ago Mr. Hill said that the railroads had failed to meet the traf- fic necessities of the country; that there had been a steady increase in business which the railroads had not mét and that it would be hiecessary to invest $5,500,000,000 in providing equipment, double tracks and ter- minals to handle the business of the country properly. “And now, because for two or three months the railroads have been able to handle more business than was offered them, we are met on all hands with the cry that the country is going to the bowwows. Wha! is the neces- sity for painting the picture blacker than it is? Does it arise out of the fact that congress is in session or that there is a presidential election im- pending? “I tell you frankly I don’t under- stand the reason why at the time when the railroad credit should be upheld those who ought to be most in- terested in supporting that credit are lending their influence in breaking it down. The average monthly receipts from freight and passenger traffic for each mile of the 225,000 miles of rall- road in the Uinited States reporting to this commission for the first seven months of the fiscal year were $980, which is $180 per mile per month more than the average for the fiscal year ending in 1005, the year of the last presidential election.” TIGHT LID FOR LA CROSSE Gambling Houses and Houses of IIi Repute Ordered Closed. La Crosse, Wis,, April 2—For the first time in eleven years the lid was put on tight in La Crosse. Every gambling house was closed under or- ders of Mayor Anderson. The houses of ill repute were given two weeks to move and it was announced that none would be permitted in La Crosse after April 156. It is expected that the next step will be the closing of saloons on Sunday. La Crosse has had the repu- tation of being one of the most wide open cities in the country, but .a change is promised under the present regime. Bloody Fight Ends in Draw. San Francisco, April 2.—Abe Attell and Battling Nelson, who fought a fif- teen-round bout here, walked out of the ring at the end so covered with blood that they had every appearance of having been stabbed with knives in the face. The bloodiest battle of re- cent years ended in a draw, with At- tell having a slight advantage. Will Report Liability Bill. ‘Washington, April 2.—The house committee on judiciary has agreed to report an employers’ liability bill next Friday and try to have it passed Mon- day under a suspension of the rules, The bill as agreed upon is quite dif- ferent from the original measure as introduced by Mr. Sterling of Illinois. Bomb Partly Wrecks House. New York, April 2—Following the sending of letters demanding money 2 bomb was thrown at the home of Joseph Scullitto in Beaver street, Brooklyn. The explosion broke all the windows in the house, blew down the front door and wrecked the vesti- bule, but the occupants escaped unin- jured. The Scullitto home is within & block of that of Selig' Silverstein, the man who threw the bomb in Un- jon square Saturday. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. Governor Guild of Massachusetts has suffered a relapse and is not so well. Secretary Taft has left Washington for Columbus, O., Chicago and other ‘Western cities.

Former President Grover Cleveland, who has been staying at Lakewood, N. 1, for some time past, continues to show improvement in health. Returns from Massachusetts Repub- lican primaries show that of the 1,550 delegates to the state convention 901 are either pledged or favorable to Taft and 649 are unpledged. _ medici See that the next cough remedy you buy is wrapped like this. years of sale and use, A GOOD NAME VERY one desires to establish for himself a good name, but it takes time to win the confidence of your fellow men. - Truth and per- severance are the alternate rungs on the ladder of success, and he who reaches the top must make no false step. There are hundreds of cough nes with all sorts of names, each claiming to be the best, but the test of time will prove whether or not they have established the right to be called the best. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has had thirty-five and has cured coughs and colds under all conditions, in all countries and clim- ates, and the verdict today is that it has no equal. Careful selection of the drugs, intelligent and skillful compound- ing, the entire absence of opium, chloroform, or any other harmful ingredient, and the absolute purity ‘of every article that goes into its composition, has built up and sus- . tained its good name. — These are the things you should remember, and the next time you want a cough medicine, it is worth while to see that you get Chamber- lain’s and secure the virtues which a good name implies, Every dealer who sells a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy guarantees it to give satisfaction or he will refund the money.
