SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM APPLY THE PATERNAL SLIPPER. [Contributed.) Once more we are reminded of the need of protection against the thoughtless and cereless acts of some of our young people, and possibly some older ones, who are in the habit of attending our free public gatherings, seemingly for the purpose of creating disturb- ances. Last Friday night the aunnual commencement of our city high school was held in the city hall. The exercises were impressive and of a high order. We feel,however, like making an apology, when tt becomes necessary to interrupt a prominent speaker in the middle of one of the finest if not the finest discourses that was ever delivered in this city, to ask some of our boys and girls to stop speaking out loud and give him a hearing. This was further emphasized during the Memorial services at the skating rink, Saturday after- noon, when again a prominent speaker could not get a respectable hearing on account of thoughtless people moving about the hall and preferring to listen to private con- versations. We do not believe that all of these were willfully done but some of them were, and these are the ones that are criti. cised. In soms cases they were personally spoken to and in place of heeding the request became more careless, We would suggest that here- after, when we have any public meetings, such as ments and Memorial exercises, that if the regular police cannot have a man there all the time, two special police be appointed for the occasion with full power to arrest. With reference to the akove, would it not be well to vigorously apply the generous slipper of our daddies? commence- FORCED 10 SELL BUSINESS Northern Grain Company Ruined by Operations of Employe. Manitowoc, Wis.,, May 30.—General Manager C. W. Esplin of the Northern Graln company states that his com- pany will close its business and retire. Unauthorized speculation and misman- fagement were given as causes for the losses which have caused the closing of the business and Esplin said that all property was now on the market for sale. Report has it that the com- pany lost upwards of $200,000 on the Chicago board of trade, through oper- ations of an employe, six months ago, which is the real cause of its retire- ment. The company operates two large elevators here, the capacity being over 3,600,000 bushels, and it also op- erated a large cold storage plant and & sheep ranch and wool shipping ven- ture, all of which are closed. Until recently J. G. Martin of this city was president, but was succeeded a month ago by B. MoCormick of Seattle, ‘Wash., with Mr. Esplin of Chicago as manager. It is said that a number of ‘Wwealthy lumbermen are interested in the company, which owned elevators in Illinols, Jowa, Wisconsin and Min-|. nesota. The general offices of the company are located here. The closing of the elevators will probably be temporary, asg the property is too valuable to long remain idle, but the Northern Grain company will not be reorganized. WANTED IN NATIVE LAND. Brooklyn Attorney to Be Deported After Long Residence There. New York, May 30.—Because of a chance meeting with a man who had not seen him for years C. P. Wedel, attorney at law, a man of refinement and culture, will probably be deported to Denmark. He was detained in Brooklyn by immigration officials and taken to Bllis Island. It is said that he has offended against the laws of his native land and therefore is mnot considered a desirable alien. Wedel had entered the country reg- ularly and was trying under another name to retrieve the past. About a week ago he was seen, it was saild, gear his home by a former Copen- hagen acquaintance and from the change meeting resulted the action of the Hilis Island oficials. The board of special inquiry decid that Wedel must be deported, an there is said to be small chance that ‘Washington will reverse the decision. FRENCH OFFICIALS PLEASED Falllieres’ Splendid Reception in Eng- land the Cause. Paris, May 30.—The splendid recep- tlon accorded President Fallieres in England has created intense satisfac- tion in official circles in France and it 18 regarded as the crowning proof of the wisdom of the policy inaugurated when France and Great Britain lqui- dated their differences and shook hands in 1904. Nevertheless no of- ficlal encouragement is given to the talk of supplementing the existing en- tente betwean the two countries with a formal alliance. The foreign office takes the position that it is useless to attempt to discount the future. “An alliance in spirit, if not in letter, al- ready exists,” an official of the for- eign office sald, “and we are content for the moment to allow the entente to develop along natural lines, unham- pered by formal phrases or condi- tions.” FIGHTING CONTINUES. Engagement on the Island of Samos Has Lasted Four Days. Constantinople, May 30.—Consular dispatches from the island of Samos declare that not less than 150 persons have been killed or wounded in the four days’ fighting at Vathy, the capi- ital, and that the engagements still continue. The small garrison of Turkish troops are beleaguered in their quar- ters. Kopassiz Effendi, the governor, has sought refuge in a public building. He is without provisions and his life is said to be in danger. The con- sulates are crowded with refugees and the lack of provisions is beginning to make itself felt. A number of refu- gees have made their way to Athens. The consuls at Samos are mostly native merchants and they have re- quested the powers to send warships. SNELL WILL IS BROKEN. Jury Decides Eccentric Millionaire Was Insane. Clinton, I, May 30.—The jury in the famous Snell case returned a ver- dict declaring that the eccentric Illi- nois millionaire was insane at the time he made his will. This is a com- plete victory for the contestant, Rich- ard Snell, the colonel's son, who was cut oft with an annuity of $50. In denunciation of “the bloodthirsty vampires who hounded Colonel Snell to his grave,” attorneys for the con- testants named Maybelle Snell Mc- Namara in particular and other wom- en in general. Priest and Attorney Threatened. Chicago, May 29.—Father Peter 1. O’Callaghan, head of the Paulist order in Chicago, and Attorney Fran- cis BE. Hinckley have been informed through an anonymous letter written in blood and wrapped in crepe, that they have been marked for death by mysterious enemles and St. Mary’s church, Wabash avenue and Hubbard court, has been doomed to be blown up by dynamite. WILL NOMINATE TAFT. Congressman Burton to Present Sec retary’s Name to Convention. ‘Washington, May 30.—While no for- mal announcement yet has been madey it may be stated definitely that Rep- resentative Theodore Burton of Ohio will present the name of Secretary Taft to the Chicago convention. Representative Burton, since the in- stitution of Secretary Taft's campaign, has been one of his closest friends and advisors and is regarded as one of the best representatives of all that THEODORE E. BURTON. Secretary Taft stands for in the Unit- ed States. Mr. Burton will leave Washington soon for Hot Springs, Va., to take a rest. - While there he probable will prepare ‘his nominating address. Senator Dolliver of Iowa, George Knight of California and Senator Bo- rah of Idaho will make speeches sec- onding Taft’s nomination. Senator Long of Kansas will probably speak also. It is generally accepted as a fact that Senator Hopkins will be the chairman of the committee on resolu- tions. OPEN DOOR FOR JAPS ONLY Policy in Manchuria Certain to Lead to Trouble. Vancouver, B. C, May 30—G. C. Druce, former mayor of Oxford, Eng., and secretary to the Botanical soclety of Great Britain, who has just arrived here from the Orient after an exten- sive tour of China, Korea and Japan, gives a highly interesting but some- what pessimistic account of Japan’s military and political activity in the Far East and the effect of the visit of the American battleship fleet to that part of the world. “While the official classes are re- served the Japanese people are not the least perturbed over the dispatch of the American battleships to the Orlent,” said Mr. Druce. “Of course everybody in the Far East, except the diplomats, associates the demonstra: tion of America’s naval power with the Manchurian trade question. The famous ‘open door’ policy advocated by all the white races is in reality a nullity.” Japan, declares Mr. Druce, has com- pletely reversed the “open door” pol- icy in Manchuria excepting to her own people. ‘With the arrival of the American battleship fleet in the Pacific and the talk of trouble with the United States in the future Japanese statesmen, Mr. Druce believes, are preparing for any emergency. Port Arthur, the former Russian stronghold, is being made vir- tually impregnable, while the fortifi- ications: at. Dalny, a Segport and the IT IS SERIOUS.

Dangerous urinary troubles fol- low. A Bemidji citizen shows you how to avoid them. Clark Roberts, living at goo America Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: ‘I suffered severely for two or three years with a pain in the small of my back. The pain would come on very suddenly and last for two or three weeks, caus ing me much misery and discom- fort while it lasted. The kidney secretions were dark and un- natrual in appearance, and there was much soreness about the kid- ney regions. I went to the Owl Drug Store and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. After using them a short time I began feeling very much better, I have not suffered from any trouble with my kidneys since. The kidney secre. tions have become clear and I have felt better in every way,” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cent. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

Mr. Druce gives it as his opin- fon that a clash with the powers over a continuance of a discrimina- tory policy now being carried out in favor of Japanese subjects in the Ori- ent is inevitable. BITTER IN HIS DENUNCIATION Mr. Bryan Discusses Action of Penn- sylvania Convention. Lincoln, Neb., May 30.—In his Com- moner W. J. Bryan speaks his mind on the action of the Pennsylvania Democratic state conventicn in over- riding what he declared were the ex- pressed wishes of the voters. By ref- erence Mr. Bryan expresses the helief that a large majority of Democratic voters were in favor of a delegation to the Denver convention instructed for him. He is bitter in his denun- clation of what he calls a brazen con- tempt for every Democratic principle and says the action of the convention was embezzlement of power, which cannot be defended. The delegates, he says, sold out the counties which gent them to Harrisburg. Mr. Bryan says the object lesson which the convention furnished in boss rule carried to the extreme will be valuable to the state, for it will hasten the regeneration of Democratic polities in Pennsylvania, and regener- ation is necessary. Rich Haul for Thieves. Minneapolis, May 30.—Six hundred fountain pens, valued at $1,500, were stolen from the Northwestern School Supply company, near the State uni- versity. The thieves-broke in through the back door and took all-the plain pens in stock, together with the cases in which they were packed. Two years ago the same company was the victim of a similar robbery, pens val- ued at $1,000 being taken. LARGEST IN THE WORLD. Expenditures of the WUnited States Government. ‘Washington, May 80.—Representa: tive Tawney of Minnesota, chalrman of the committee on apprepriations, presented to the house his annual re. view of fiscal appropriations and ex- penditures. The keynote of his speech was sounded in the declaration that “the insistent demands of the people and of the public service result in am increased aggregate when enacted into law.” Mr. Tawney in opening said: “The annual expenditures of ou government exceed those of any gov: ernment in the world. The work of analyzing the estimates for them, of inquiring into their neeessities, to gether with the needful inquiry into the methods of the departments in ad- ministering and in expending previous appropriations, is rapldly becoming the most important duty and the most prodigious task to be performed in connected with the legislative de partment of the government; a task whose magnitude is not appreciated, nor {8 the labor necessary in its per. formance understood. It requires con. stant application from the beginning until the close of the session and the most careful discrimination to prevent needless approprigtions_for the fed eral government or unauthorized ap propriations for the exercise of gov ernmental functions belonging to the states or for the doing of which be longs exclusively to private interests.” Annual Three Union Men Sent to Jall. Ohieago, May 30.—Judge Carpenter has ordered three members of the lo cal district of the Carpenters and Jolners of America sent to jail fo1 thirty days for violation of an infuneé tion restraining them and other mem bers of their union from injuring the business of the Mears-Slayton Lumbes company of this city.

OKLAHOMA AGAIN VISITED. Second Series of Tornadoes and Heavy Rains. Guthrie, Okla., May 30.—A second series of cyclones, tornadoes, water- spouts and heavy rains struck Okla- homa. The damage is as great as the floods of last week. Five persons are reported killed at Duncan and three serfously injured near Cashion. On Red river a number of lives are believed to have been lost as a result of a sudden rise.

Martin Miller, the former” American consul at Rheims, who was mentioned in connection with the suit for divorce recently brought in New York by Mae C. Wood against Senator Thomas C. Platt, is at present in this city. When the lat- est American newspapers arrived here Mr. Miller saw for the first time the statement alleged to have been signed by him and which was produced by Miss Wood at the trial. Mr. Miller was extremely indignant. “The docu- ment is an absolute forgery,” he said, “it is fabricated and false from begin- ning to end.” Mr. Miller is consulting attorneys with the view of having Miss Wood prosecuted for forgery. CHILDREN IN PANIC. Rumors of Plot to Dynamite Chicago School. Chicago, May 30.—Rumors that an Italian secret society had formed a plot to dynamite the Dante school at Ewing and Desplaines streets caused a panjc among the 1,700 pupils of the school. About 600 of the children be- came panic stricken and fled from tbe building. Many of them were knocked down and slightly bruised, but none of them was seriously injured. For several days there have been groundless rumors that the school might be blown up with dynamite. Somebody fired a number of shots in an alley adjoining the school and in. stantly hundreds of the children lett their seats and ran for the doorways. Crop Damaged in Missourl. St. Joseph, Mo., May 30.—The crop damage in Northwest Missouri result- ing from continued rains is heavy. Much corn has been washed out or has rotted and must be replanted and the crop will be late. Strawberries have been ruined and it is feared the wheat will rust. Washouts Tie Up Traffic. La Crosse, Wis., May 30.—Washouts on the Burlington and Milwaukee and St. Paul railroads tied up all trafic between Chicago and the Twin Cities on the main line of those roads. Mails were delayed for several hours, being sent by a roundabout ways on other lines. REJECTED BY COMMISSION Philippine Assembly Bill Creating a Jury System. Manila, May 80.—The Philippine <ommission has rejected the assembly bill creating a jury system. The measure provides for provincial boards to appoint twenty-five jurors in each province to serve on all jury cases. The commission held that the plan was not an ideal one and would invariably lead to abuses. It was be- lieved that appointment of jurors ‘would become a factor in politics. ‘The commission has passed the pub- lic works bill appropriating 3,000,000 Desos. One-half of this sum goes for the construction of roads under the plan to create and maintain a per- manent system of highways through- out the islands. Half a million will be expended in starting a system of irrigation works, while with the bal- ance provision is made to start the construction of a capitol building at Manila, improve the harbors at Iloilo and build a customshouse at Cebu. D Given Life Imprisonment. S8t. Paul, May 30.—Judge Hallam sentenced Fred Eschle to state prison for life for the self-confessed murder of John Smolensky op March 22, 1908, while the two lived together in a mis- erable little shack on the “upper flats.” The plea of guilty was made earlier in the week and then Hschle's attor- ney drew out testimony from family, friends, former employers and asso- clates to show that the defendant was not of a sound mind and a clear un- derstanding. Given a Rousing Farewell. London, May 30.—M. Fallieres, pres- dent of the French republic, brought his four days’ visit to London to a close when he left here by train for Dover. King Edward, the Prince of Wales and other members of the roy- al family, the members of the cabinet and a party of diplomats gathered at the railroad station to bid M. Fallieres farewell. The crowds around the sta- tion gave the president a rousing fare- well cheer. BEARS SCORE VICTORY. Force Down Prices of May Wheat, Corn and Oats. Chicago, May 30.—The bears in the grain pits on the board of ,trade scored a decisive victory in the early trading and forced down prices on the May deliveries of wheat, corn and oats from 2% to 5 cents per bushel. The' greatest loss was recorded in May corn, the bull campaign in which has been led by James A. Patten. The price of that grain broke from 8214, the opening quotation, to 773 within the first hour of trading. May oats was a close second and dropped from 66% to Blls. Wheat declined from $1.09% to $1.07 in the same space of time. While definite figures were lacking it was thought that James A. Patten and his followers have cleaned up at least $2,000,000 through their manip- ulation of May corn. Mr. Patten him- self declared at the conclusion of trading that he had no idea how much money he had made. TWENTY ARE INJURED Observation Car on Fast Train Hurled Down Embankment. GOING AT REGULAR SPEED Passengers Are Scattered Pellmell as the Coach Swings From the Track and Their Escape From Death Is Miraculous. Connellsville, Pa., May 30.—Twenty passengers were injured, three of them probably fatally, when the ob- servation parlor car on the Royal Blue flyer on the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road, bound from Chicego to New York, left the rails two miles from Garrett, Pa., east of here, and plunged down aun embankment. That none was killed is considered miraculous, Soveral of the injured were placed aboard of a special train and hurried to Cumberland, Md., where hospital accommodations had been prepared by the railroad. It was sald their in- Juries consisted mainly of cuts and bruises. The other passengers pro- ceeded on the train. ‘When the train reached a point two miles east of Garrett, and while round- ing a sharp curve, the observation ear swung from the track. The train was running on schedule time and like the crack of a whip the coupling snapped and the observation car was thrown with much force down an em- bankment. The passengers were Scat- tered pell mell. A number who were seated on the platform under a wide spreading awning were pitched far into the air, alighting clear of the wrecked car, but among stones and cinders, causing painful injuries to all. Others were thrown in a heap to the floor and showered with broken glass. FILIBUSTER IN SENATE La Follette Attempting to Defeat Compromise Currency Bill BENATOR STONE TO ASSIST Wisconsin Solon Begins Long Talk Against the Measure and in Other Ways Causes Delay in Bringing the Matter to a Vote. ‘Washington, May 30.—It was made evident soon after the senate con- vened that Senator La Follette would do all in his power to obstruct the passage of the compromise currency bill and there was ground for the re- that he had succeeded in ob- ning assurance of help from Sen- ator Stone of Missouri, who had just returned from his home. Before 12 o'clock Mr. La Follette had made two demands for a quorur and when upon the third demand the vice president refused to recognize him because Senator Culberson had the floor and declined to yield he rajsed a point of order to the effect that the presiding officer should have the roll called when there was a de- maad for a quorum, even in the face of a declination by the senator occu- pying the floor to yleld for that pur- pose. The vice president held against the Wisconsin senator and the latter announced his intention to appeal frem the chair's‘ decision. He then entered upon an argument in support of his contention and it was evident that the filibuster, small though it be in pumbers, was on. Bhowing the greatest indignation he resorted to every expedient to car- ry his point by various motions, but he was obliged to abide by a vote of 32 to 14 to lay his appeal on the| table.

Makes a satisfying luncheon. showed one less than a quorum and the vice president announced that a quorum was present in spite of the vote. “Does the presiding ofilcer intend to establish a precedent of counting a quorum?” inquired Mr. La Follette, 'suggesting that that action might come back “to.plague the senate.” Vice President Fairbanks, in the chair, read from a decision by Allen @. Thurman, June 19, 1879, when he announced that there was a quorum present, although not shown by the vote. During the colloquy Mr. Aldrich was on his feet approving the ruling and a large number of senators were pres- ent on the Republican side. ‘When Mr. Culberson concluded his statement regarding the expenditures during the Roosevelt administration and before Mr. La Follette took the floor there was a demand that the question of adopting the report be put to the senate. ‘The Wisconsin senator, after secur- ing reocognition, walked deliberately from the rear of the chamber where he was standing to his seat. Mr. Kean of New Jersey called for a vote. “Is the senator from New Jersey in a hurry?” inquired Mr. La Follette, and then adding that having the floor he presumed he had a right to call for a quorum, he forthwith demanded that the roll be called. After fifty-seven senators had re- sponded to the roll call Mr. La Fol- lette, shortly before 1 o’clock, pro- ceeded with his remarks on the cur- rency bills reported by the conferees, saying that he would conserve his strength as much as possible as he was just recovering from a protracted illness. More Roll Calls Demanded. Before he had spoken half an hour Mr. La Follette had made two de- mands fer a roll call. Senator Stone, upon whom the Wisconsin senator de- pended as his only assistant in the filibuster, was present in the cham- ber for only a few minutes during the early part of the session and it was understood that he was absent pre- paring a speech against the bill. Hvery time the attention of Senator Aldrich was diverted for a moment the Wisconsin senator waited patient- ly or complained and insisted that the Rhode Island senator should keep his eyes fixed on him. Late in the afternoon an effort was made by Mr. Foraker to compel Mr. La Follette to take his seat. Mr. For- pker declared that Mr. La Follette had violated the rules of the senate by charging Mr. Aldrich with not hav- ing answered questions fairly. After some skirmishing the senate voted to permit Mr. La Follette to proceed “in order,” only Mr. Foraker voting against the proposition. Senator La Follette’s clerk was ex- cluded from the senate chamber on a point of order made by Senator Gal- linger, who said that under the rules no clerk of a senator could remain in the chamber for more than two hours pnless engaged in the transaction of actual business. The clerk had been constantly keeping Mr. La Follette supplied with information as to the number of senators present, which aid- ed him materially in making the point of no quorum, and other senators re- sented "his interference in that re- speot.
