SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM e —y— DISAPPOINTING INDIFFERENCE. Itisa deplorable fact that the people of Bemidji as a whole have less apparent interest in the real wel- fare of this community -than they should make manifest. This remark is the spontaneous outburst of one who has attended many public meetings which have been held for the purpose of ‘“‘boost- ing” the city and the county; and we have been impressed with the appar- entindifference of the entire com- munity, with a few exceptions, as to what the results might be of these meetings. s Last week, several of the most pro- gressive men in the state of Min- nesota held meetings and addressed audiences at Blackduck, Bemidji, and Bagley; and Bemidji, although many times larger than the other two places combined, turned out by far the smallest and least interested crowd. The result of the' meeting here was distinct disappointment to those who were responsible in arranging the gathering. Many business men simply shrugged their shoulders when told of the meeting and stated they were “too busy” to attend and extend a greeting to the visitors. Indifference seemed to be the upper- most expression from the majority of residents of the city. Those who spoke at the meeting were all men of considerable promi- nence and it is impossible that they did not go away with a rather poor opinion of this city. A little less strenuous pursuit of the almighty dollar, and a more"‘pull- together” spirit for the benefit of all would greatly benefit this city. (OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc"] FOR AMETUER GAREDNERS. The little sprouts which you notice coming up where you set your egg plants are chick weeds. They are no kin to the egg plant. Shoo them. Now is the time to begin shorten- ing your pieplant. Also, if you want the pie crimped at the edges go over the plants carefully with the crimper about twice a week. You can’t raise chicken pie on a pieplant. It is not difficult to tell the differ- ence between 2 wild and a tame rose. The wild dog rose for in- stance, will growl when you approach it—while the tame one will play at your feet and eat out of your hand. Canned tomatoes should not be expected to show much life at this season, Market statistics show that they are best late in the fall. It might be well, however, to plant a can-opener with them. STORY AGAIN REVIVED, 8ald Anna Gould Married Prince de Sagan in Hoboken. New York, May 2t —The report that Prince Helie de Sagan and Madame Anna Gould were married in Hoboken, N. J., before they sailed for Europe on separate steamers on last April has been revived. According to the re port now current Prince de Sagan and Madame Gould were married at Mey- erg’ hotel in Hoboken the night be- fore the prince sailed for Europe. No record of the marriage ever was made, but though the laws of New Jersey require persons having the power to perform marriage ceremonies to file the copy of the certificate with- in thirty days no penalty attaches to failure to comply with the rule. Everything Stolen but Site. Butte, Mont, May 2 .—A Tound black hole in the ground, the mouth of the shaft, is all that is left of the 8ix O’Clock mine, for thieves have taken away bodily the engine house, carpenter shop, gallows frame and office and there is no trace of the sur- face improvements of what was a year ago a bustling mine. This condi- tion of affairs was not discovered un- til the officers of the Butte Copper Exploration company visited the scene. ‘Will Furnish Bond for Miss Wood. New York, May 2 .—That Mae C.

He refused to say anything about who was behind DENIED BY PRESIDENT Has Had No Dispute With Attor- ney General ‘Bonaparte. STORY A PURE INVENTION Statement lssued From White House Goes Into Details Regarding the Bringing of Suit Against the New Haven and Hartford Road. ‘Washington, May 2j.—The White House has made public an official de- uial of a story that serious differences arose between the president and At- torney General Bonaparte over the question of bringing suit against the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, the story going so far as to say that Mr. Bonaparte had threat- ened to resign. The White House statement, which goes into details, is ocorroborated by the personal state- ments of cabinet officers. The state- ment made public by direction of the president follows: i “The story is a mere invention. There was no difference whatever be- tween the president and the attorney general over the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford suit. Attention was called from Massachusetts to the fact that the Massachusetts state court had already acted against the trolley lines so far as Massachusetts was con- cerned and the suggestion was accord- ingly made that the action should be brought in one of the other states in- asmuch ag the purpose of the suit had already been achieved so far as Mas- pachusetts was concerned. The pres- ident put the suggestion before the at- torney general and asked him to bring it up at the cabinet meeting, which was then but half an hour off. As a precautionary measure the newspa- péfs that had the announcement of the bringiag of the suit were asked to hold it up. The matter was then dis- cusged in the cabinet and it was de- cided that the action of the state court Mgssachusetts would make no dif- rence in the course of procedure by the government and the newspapers were at once notified that the an- goudgement of the bringing of the #uit would stand. There was no divi- sion of opinion in the cabinet and not the slightest friction or even discus- sion of any kind between any of the cabinet officers and the president, or among the officers themselves. The suit in question was determined on some three months ago. The only question discussed was as to where it dhould be broaght.” IN MEMORY OF HANNA. Monument to Dead Senator Dedicated at Cleveland. Cleveland, May 2j.—A monument in memory of the late Senator Marcus A. Hanna was dedicated here in the presence of many distinguished guests and thousands of spectators. The ora- tion was delivered by John W. Griggs, former United States attorney general. Vice President Fairbanks was to have presided, but he was unable to attend. His place was filled by ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick. Secretary Taft and President Hadley of Yale college and Governor Harris and staff were among the guests. The monument was dedicated on its temporary site in Wade park. Later it will be moved down town and placed in the hall being built in con- gpection with the grouping of public Bulldings. The invocation was deliv- ered by Right Rev. George F. Houck. The statue was unveiled by Mrs. Ruth gnnna McCormick and Mrs. Mabel anna Parsons, daughters of the late senator. The benediction was deliv- ered by Right Rev. W. A. Leonard, bighop oi Ohio. FORTY THOUSAND DEATHS Severe Famine Prevails In Uganda, British East Africa.

Head of Big Concern Charged With Misappropriation of Funds. Mexico City, May-2.—Finaneial and business circles of Mexico City have been shaken by the greatest sensation in years through the order of the judge of the Second instructidn fo bring Martin Jacoby, a mill{onaire and head of the mercantilo house of Jacoby, into the. court op the {] hien 83, of misappropriatign of funds, it is claimed yufmm 000,000 and $5,000,000. The order was issued on the representation made to the court by prominent bankers and financiers. The house of Jacoby constitutes the largest cotton buying concern in the republic. To all practical intents, it held a corner on the market. It is declared that out of a series of specu- lations and perhaps partly resulting from the October panic, the house dur- ing recent months has suffered a loss of millions of dollars. REFUSE TO TESTIFY. Witnesses Question Legality of Legls- lative Probe. Cincinnatf, May 2 .—The right of the legislative committee to investi- gate public officials and allegations of improper methods as to Cincinnati and Hamilton county was questioned in the first attempt of the committee to get to work. George B. Cox, Repub- lcan leader; George Cohen, clerk of the board of elections, and John H. Gibson, former county treasurer, had been summoned to appear as wit- nesses at the first session here, but all refused to obey the summons. In- Ftead of doing so quo warranto pro- eedings were instituted in the cir- cuit court here to test the legality of the committee’s existence and its power to investigate and also praying for an injunction against the commit- tee. No injunction being issued immedi- ately the committee resumed sessions after a recess. The first witnéss was Vivian ' J. Fagin, formerly United States marshal. Fagin testified that he had carried interest on county funds from the treasurer’s office and had given them' personally to George B. Cox while'he (Fagin) was a deputy under former Treasurer Leo Schott. He said the money was in envelopes, Just as they were received by Cashier George S. Chote from the banks. Harry E. Hope of the present treas- | urer's office testified as to the money returned to the treasury for the for mer treasurers. He said the records did not show anything collected for interest during Schott’s term of office. He said the total amount paid in by former treasurers after the last legis- lative investigation was $214,998. He also explained the present method of advertising for bids for interest on county funds. MINNESOTA LOSES SUIT. Great Western Only Pays Two Per Cent Tax on Main Line. St. Paul, May 2 .—An order has been filed by Judge Hallam of the Ramsey county district court in the case of the state against the Chicago Great Western Railway company by which that company is confirmed in its contention that it is required to pay only a 2 per cent gross earnings tax on its main line running from St. Paul to the Iowa state line. ‘The decision, unless reversed on ap- peal, will forever prohibit the state from collecting more than 2 per cent gross earnings taxes on that portion of the Chicago Great Western system which was originally the property of the Minnesota and Northwestern Rail- ‘way company. In 1906 Attorney General Young in- stituted suit against the Chicago Great ‘Western company demanding judg- ment for the state in the sum of $24,- 979.62. It was set forth that 4 per cent of the gross earnings for the year 1905 amounted to $49,959.24 and that the company had paid $24,979.62 as a gross earnings tax. The railroad company set up that it was exempt as to the property in question from the 4 per cent tax by virtue of the charter granted March 1, 1856, to the Minnesota and Northwestern company by the territorial legislature and Judge Hallam decided in-favor of the company.

REEDER CAUSES SCENE Kansas Member’s Remarks on Meas- ure Interpreted by Mr. Mondell of Wyoming, in Charge of the Bill, as a Reflection on Himself. ‘Washington, May 2 —A flutter of excitement was created in the house during the consideration of the confer- ence report on the bill providing for enlarged homesteads. Messrs. Mon- dell of Wyoming and Gaines of Ten- nessee, who had signed the report, urged its adoption. Mr. Reeder of Kansas, however, bitterly opposed the report and bill and in the course of his remarks made the following state- ment: “People in the West seldom send men here who do not vote for what they want and 1 presume that the men who advocate this bill have hun- dreds of thousands of acres of West- ern lands and they have the American disposition towards everything that adjoins them.” Mr. Mondell interpreted this remark as a reflection- on himself and called Mr. Reeder to order. The stenog rapher’s notes were transcribed and read, the members crowding well into the front of ihe speaker’s desk. Speaker Cannon held that the words spoke for themselves and that they did not constitute a reflection on any ‘member. Mr. Mondell accepted the ruling, but at the same time declared “that he thought he heard other words not taken down. The incident, what at first had an ugly aspect, thereupon ‘was closed. Strong opposition developed to the report and it was defeated, 98 to 148. The. principal arguments .advanced against the measure were based on the supposition that cattlemen of the West and not legitimate homestead- ers would benefit by its provisions, but both sides was vigorously combatted. Mr. Mondell, in charge of the re- port, made an attempt to send the bill back to conference, but his effort was futile, the report and bill being ‘finally defeated, 103 to 138. PRESENT THEIR SIDE. Western Manufacturers Testify In Print Paper Hearing. ‘Washington, May 2..—Western manufactarers of news print paper presented their side of the controversy before the special committee of the house investigating the wood pulp and paper question. A number of these manufacturers were members of the General Paper company, which was dissolved by order of court, and they testified that since that dissolution there had been no agreement among paper makers as to price, division of territory, etc. Clarence I. McNair, manager of the Northwest Paper company, stated that an omnibus contract had been made with the Scripps-McRea league of pa- pers, formerly customers of the Gen- eral Paper company, in January of this year for $2.10 per 100 pounds de- lvered, excepting to the Paeific coast papers, and that the Genmeral Paper company was a party to this contract, as it had been a party to the old con- tract. Before the dissolution of the company the price was $1.90 per 100 pounds. All the mills manufacturing news print paper belonging to the Gen- eral Paper company were parties to the new contract.

Now that he has disappeared inspection shows that he substituted brown pa- per for the bills. The highest known loss by one woman was $500. Night Riders in Ohio.
