SUBSCRIPTION--$5.00 PER ANNUM SHOULD RECEIVE UNANIMOUS SUPPORT. The Pioneer is informed that Jesse Harry, ex-deputy sheriff of Itasca county, yesterday filed at Grand Rapids for the republican nomination for sheriff of Itasca county, and will make a vigorous campaign for the nomination. It is said that William Hoolihan, the present sheriff, may not be a candidate for re-election, which, if true, would appear to remove the strongest factor in the race for sheriff of Itasca, and leave a comparatively clear field for Harry. There is probably no more popu- lar official in the entire county of Itasca than Jesse Harry. While he served as deputy under Sheriff Hoolihan, he made a fine record as deputy, and was very popular with everybody. He has been chief of police of Grand Rapids for several years, and the people of that village regard him as about the best police official in the state. Harry has been a terror to crooks, who have always sent out word among their gang to ‘steer clear of Grand Rapids,” on account of the “big bull.” Harry’s experience along the lines of enforcing the law, his well-known intregrity and straightforwardness, together with his bull-dog tenacity in ferreting out and bringing criminals to justice, will make his candidacy for sheriff of Itasca county a very popular one. OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc”1 Beauty is only skin deep, but some are thick skinned. Not looking a gift horse in the mouth is all right but a casual ob- servation of its heels is justifiable. The man who tells his troubles usually shows rare judgement; he picks the man who has plenty of his own but won’t talk about them. St. Louis started a campaign for a “square deal and a square meal.” Has the prohibition wave affected the quality of the St. Louis free lunch? If you know 2 man who has in- vented an air ship and one who has invented a perpetual-motion machine introduce them and leave them together. The “United Christain party” has nominated its candidate for presi- dent. When this report reaches New York it will read “another great uprising in the West against Bryan.” This time it’s the Norwegian am- bassador whose departure the kaiser hasinterfered with. Bill must get so fond of every diplomat that comes to Berlin that he simply can’t bear to have them leave. KILLS DAUGHTER AND SELF Father Believed Imbecile Child Better Off Dead. Cleveland, -May. 6.—Charles Kuppe, sixty years of age, -a music; teacher, ended the life of his invalid daughter Mollle, aged = twentyseven, - with chloroform and then committed sui- cide by hanging. The young woman, as a result of long illness, had be- come mentally deranged. The father had brooded over her sufferings and had frequently declared it would be better if she were dead. Kuppe saturated a cloth with chloro- form and - placed it over the girl’s mouth .and then covered her head with a'stewpan to confine the fumes. After making sure that her death ‘would follow he went into a shed and hung himself with a clothesline. Kuppe left letters addressed to the county coroner, his son and others €aying that he was compelled by cir- cumstances to end the life of his im- becile daughter and also his own. Posthumous Child Expected. Paris, May 6.—The widowed. Duch- ess de Chaulnes, who was Miss Theo- dora Shonts of New York, will not re- turn to America with her father, Theo- dore P. Shonts, who came over to Paris upon learning of the death of his son-in-law April 23. A posthumous child is expected and it is not con- sidered safe for the duchess to make the long journey to New York. She will remain in France with her sister- in-law, the Duchess d’Uzes, until after her accouchment. Tragedy Follows Quarrel. ‘Denver,” May 6.—Burton Koch, a member of the city fire department, shot and killed his wife, wounded Mrs. Matilda Motley, her mother, and then committed suicide. Mrs. Motley, in attempting to shield her daughter, re- celved a shot in the left leg. The tragedy followed a series of quarrels and separations. A diverce was grant- ed Mrs. Koch in April, but later she returned to her husband. WILL GO TO JAIL FIRST District Attorney Jerome Refuses to Obey Order of Court. WANTS GRAND JURY MINUTES Judge Rosalsky Asks That Record of Body Which Investigated Metropoli- tan Street Railway Affairs Be Filed With Clerk of Court. New York, May 6.—District Attor- ney Jerome says that he will go to jail rather than comply with an order received from Judge Rosalsky that certaln grand jury minutes be filed with the clerk of the court of general sessions. Mr. Jerome made this statement at | the hearing of charges against him before Commissioner Hand, who was appointed by Governor Hughes to take evidence in the maiter of the King committee’s charge that the district attorney had failed to fulfill the du- ties of his office. The records which Judge Rosalsky ordered filed with the court of general sessions were those of the grand jury which investigated the affairs of the Metropolitan Street railway system last November. The effect of filing these minutes with the clerk would have been to make them public. Mr. Jerome declared that Judge Rosalsky’s order called for the orig- inal minutes of the grand jury and that this is in violation of the law. Judge Rosalsky thereupon issued a new order that copies of the minutes be filed with the clerk of the court. DUE TO EXPORT RESTRICTION Russian Sugar Industry Through Serious Crisis. St. Petersburg, May 6.—The Russian sugar industry centering at Kiev is passing through a serious crisis, which already has resulted in the suspen- sion of payments by two of the great manufacturing and refining firms, Charitonenko & Sons, with liabilities of $7,500,000, and the Cherkassky Re- fining company, with liabilities of $4,- 000,000. The State bank has come to the assistance of Charitonenko & Soms, asking the creditors to extend their notes for a year or eighteen months and furnishing cash for the most pressing obligations. The bank probably will do the same thing for the Cherkassky company, insomuch as the extension of the crisis under the present financial stringency of Russia might entail the gravest results. The trouble in the sugar industry is due in large measure to restriction of exports, the production being far in excess of the Russian market. Midget Couple to Marry. New York, May 6.—The smallest couple that ever secured a marriage license in New York are to be mar- ried within a day or two. They are John Brundish, thirty-nine years old and four feet high, and Lida Kimball, thirtyfive years old and three feet nine inches tall. They are connected ‘with a show at Coney Island and were escorted to the licehse office by one of the show’s managers, a broad shoul- dered man six feet tall. Will Operate on St. Paul-Road. Butte, Mont., May 6.—Articles of in- corporation were filed here by the Continental Express company and the Continental Telegraph company, the former capitalized for $100,000 and the latter for $300,000. Both companies will operate over the lines of the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad in Montana and North and South Da- kota and over the entire St. Paul gys- tem when it shall have been com- pleted to the coast. Will Adopt Last Year’s Scale. Youngstown, O., May 6.—The thirty- third annual convention of the Amal- gamated Association of Ironm, Steel and Tin Workers opened here to fix the scale of wages for union ironworkers for the year beginning July 1, 1908. The convention will likely adopt last year’s scale, with minor changes and a provision for local wage agreements. Costly Fire at San Francisco. San Francisco, May 6.—A fire which started in the Mentone restaurant on Geary street between Kearney and Grant avenues consumed about fifteen stores in the block bounded by Market, Kearney, Geary and Grant avenues. It is estimated the loss will be $400,- $00.; « Two Thousand Men Laid Off. Springfield, Mo., May 6.—Two thou- sand employes of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad shops here were laid off for an indefinite period. The reason assigned by the company for the shutdown is financial depres- sion. Small Streams Overflowing. Madison, Ind., May 6.—Three inches of rain fell during the night, over- fidwhig small streams and doing con- siderable ‘damage. Rain has fallen twenty-five days out of the last thirty- five, the total rainfall being ten inches. Morley in House of Lords. London, May 6.—John Morley and Sir Henry Fowler have taken their seats in the house of lords under the respective titles of Viscount Morley of Blackburn and Viscount Wolverhamp- ton. ON ACCUMULATION OF RICHES John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Addresses Sunday School Class. £ New York, May 1 .—“Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of His riches and strengthened himself in his wickedness.” Taking the Fifty-second psalm as his text John D. Rockefeller, Jr., ad- dressed the young men’s Bible class of the Fifth Avenue Baptist-church for the first time in several months. Is Passing |- s talk was regaraea As one of tne most lnteresting he has ever delivered before the class, particularly as he spoke at some length on the accumula- tion of wealth and deplored the pres- ent day tendency to obtain power and riches by not always legitimate means. “There is no sin,” he sald, “in ac- cumulating wealth in an honest and legitimate manner and using that wealth rightfully. But this man the psalmist speaks of had taken advan- tage of others. Not only was he given to fraudulent practices, but he lived evil” Mr. Rockefeller then drew a picture of the need for men who make little money but lead righteous lives; men who can always be trusted to do the right thing no matter what happens; FRST PLACE OR 0N Johnson Not a Candidate for the Vice Presidency.

COLOMBIA IS SUSPICIOUS. Believes Panama and Venezuela In- tend to Fight Her. Cartagena, Colombia, May .—The government of Colombia has reason to believe that the government of Pan- ama is intriguing with Venezuela to declare war upon this country. It is known that the occupation of Jurado, which is on the Atrato river, the boundary line between Panama and Colombia, has angered the Panama government. The occupation of Ju- rado was done on the advice of the American .government, which held that it was clearly within Colombian territory. The attitude of the govern- ment of Panama has given the United States a good deal of solicitude. One of Secretary Taft’s chief missions to Panama is to try and adjust the mat- ter. It is believed that the American government is aware of the efforts of Panama to induce Venezuela to make war upon Colombia. RIDDER CALLS IT A FARCE Refers to Court’s Action Trust Case. Washington, May 6—When the house committee investigating the wood pulp and print paper question met a telegram was read from Her- man Ridder, president of the Amer- ican Newspaper Publishers’ associa- tion, addressed to John Sharp Will- jams, the Democratic leader in the house, stating that Judge Lacombe, in New York, had discharged the Manila and Fiber Paper company, which had been brought before a grand jury and ordered to produce its books. The in Paper HERMAN RIDDER. company claimed that its books had been given to an official who had taken them to Europe. Continuing, the telegram said: “They (the paper company) now claim that they have done everything in their power to recover the papers. On this showing they were allowed to go -free. What a farce! Our only hope is the Stevens bill.” Mr. Stafford of Wisconsin asked John Norris of New York, who took the witness stand, if he regarded that telegram as meaning that the inability to prosecute the “Manila and Fiber Paper trust” was a failure of justice. “Not a failure, but a serious embar- rassment,” replied Mr. Norris. CUTTER GETS PIRATE SHIP Algonquin Captures Sloop After Long Chase Among lIslands. San Juan, Porto Rico, May 6.—After a prolonged pursuit along the west coast of Porto Rico the revenue cutter Algonquin has succeeded in capturing a sloop that was stolen some time ago from a west coast port. The cut- ter had to fire three shots before the sloop would heave to. The pirates were planning to commit other rob- beries, after which they were going to escape to Santo Domingo. "Arbitration Treaty With Japan. ‘Washington, May 6.—A general ar- bitration treaty between the United States and Japan was signed by Sec- retary Root and Ambassador Taka- hira. This treaty follows the lines of the several arbitration agreements which have been negotiated between this country and European nations during the winter in accordance with the ideas adopted at the recent Hague conference. It will permit of the arbi- tration at The Hague of nearly every olass of dispute which may arise be- twen the signatory powers. Young Millionaire Loses Sight. Muskegon, Mich.,, May 6.—Charles Moore Hackley, the twenty-five-year- old Muskegon millionaire with a fond- ness for common labor, such as work- ing in the fields, handling horses and working in his lumber camp, will be blind for life. While blasting. stumps in his lumber camp near here a few days ago he struck a crowbar into two sticks of dynamite. His face was blown full of sand, bits of stump and powder. 3 Two Victims of Kentucky Feud.: Jackson, Ky., May 6—Eq Callahan was fatally wounded by his brother- in-law, John Spicer, at Callahan’s store on Long creek and Spicer was In turn shot and killed by Callahan’s 3eventeen-year-old son as a result of * quarrel. . .

If by any chance he fails to get the presi- dential nomination he will not, under any circumstances, accept: the . vice presidential nomination. PRIEST AUTHOR OF PLAY. Ceremony of Mass Copied in Scene on Stage. Chicago, May 6.—Gasps of astonish- ment came from an audience, com- posed largely of Roman Catholies, when the curtain was: litted on the second scene of Rev. L. J. Vaughan's play, “A Woman cf the West,” pro- duced in the Bush Temple theater. The interior of a Catholic church, showing the altar and an actor in the vestments of a priest performing the ceremonies of the mass, were pre sented and continued for a'most three minutes. With an acolyte assistant the offices of the mass from the Sanc- tus to the Offertory were depicted, the chalice was lifted and the mimic priest turned in henediction upon the audience to Le interrupied by the flight of a fugitive into the cdifice. Each representation of {he mass was a copy of the genuine ceremoay. Lighted candles arched aktoat the al- tar and the strains of music attending the service in Catholic churches was played softly upon the theater pipe organ. 5 As’the curtain arose upon the novel of applause came from the audience, but none came from a dozen Catholic priests ard scores of church members scattered through the house. Tke iniermissicn Latween the second and third acts was taken up by excited d'scussions of the scene.

The Buckboard. “There are few persons who know bow the name of ‘buckboard’ came to be applied to a vehicle,” says a writer. “It was away back in the twenties, when the transportation of goods, wares and merchandise was almost entirely by wagon. 'A Dr. Buck was then In charge of military stores en route to army posts in the southwest. In east Tennessee much difficulty was experienced by reason of the rough roads, and there were frequent mis- haps, mostly from wagons overturning. Dr. Buck overhauled the outfit, and, abandoning the wagon bodies, long boards were set directly on- the axles or hung below, and the stores were loaded in such a manner that there were no further delays from .break- downs, and the stores safely reached their destinations. In special emergen- ¢y, too, the load could be shifted or taken off in a hurry. Dr. Buck’s ex- ample was followed, especially when roads were rough, and soon much haul- ing was done by the use of wheels; axles and boards only. Now we have the buckboard, both in carriage and au- tomobile forms, conforming closely to the original idea, though few suspect the source of it.”—Chicago News.
