Denver, June 8.—After being out twenty-four hours the jury in the case of Mrs. Leonora Pearce, charged with robbing Mrs. Harriet Crowe, an aged blind woman, of $16,000, using the lat- ter’s belief in spiritualism as her method, brought in a verdict of guilty. Five days were allowed the defense to appeal before sentence is pro- nounced. The maximum punishment for the offense charged is ten years in the penitentiary. Miners and Operators Agree. Cleveland, O., June 8.—Coal miners and operators of the Eastern district of Ohio reached a two-years' agree- ment after a stormy session. All dif- ferences were amicably adjusted and work in all mines will be resumed. In the Eastern Ohio, or No. 8 field, 10,000 miners are employed. They are di- rectly affected by this action.

Detroit, Mich., June 8.—Peter White of Marquette, one of the most prom- inent men in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and a pioneer in the copper and iron development of that country, dropped dead here in front of the city hall.

Chivago, June 8.—Campalgn man- agers for Governor John A. Johnson in Chicago believe they have staved off the nomination of William J. Bryan on the first ballot. That much accomplished ag a result of the primaries and conventions just held in Louisiana, Georgla and Mary- land they now purpose a complete change of tactics and will initiate an aggressive campaign in the direct in- terest of Governor Johnson. Thedore Knappen, at the Johnson headquarters at the Grand Pacific ho- tel, announced that the anti-Bryan forces are now assured of control of more than one-third of the Denver convention. “Mr. Bryan is now a defeated candi- date for the Democratic presidential nomination,” sald Mr. Knappen. “The action of Louisiana in failing to in- struct for Bryan and in sending an uninstructed delegation to Denver; the result in Maryland, where Mr, Bry- an’s name has no place in the resolu- tions, and the result in Georgia, where Mr. Bryan's friends were disastrously defeated, sufficiently indicate that more then one-third of the convention at Denver will be opposed to Mr. Bry- an’s nomination. “Our first effort was to work for the situation which now esists; that is, to hold one-tHird of the convention out against Mr. Bryan. Now that this has been accomplished we will start im- mediately to secure the nomination for Governor Johnson. “In the uninstructed list are dele- gates who are for Johnson, others for Gray, while many have been commit- ted to no candidate. Now that the surety of failure of Mr. Bryan to se- cure the nomination on the first ballot exists it will be our endeavor to in- fluence the delegates who will break from Bryan after the first ballot to recognize the merit and political avail- ability of Governor Johnson.” FULFILLS HIS PROMISE. President Reappoints Inland Water ways Commission. ‘Washington, June 8.—Carrying out his declaration to the conference of governors that should congress fail to provide for the continuance of the in- land waterways commission he should continue it by executive act and, con- gress having failed to take action on the subject, President Roosevelt has reappointed the members of that com- mission. In doing so he made public the following explanation: “In view of the desirability of con- tinuing the work of the inland water- ways commission the president has requested those designated last year, with the exception of General Alex- ander MacKenzie, chief of engineers, war department, who has retired, to continue their services on the said commission and has also requested Senator William B. Allison, Represen- tatlve Joseph H. Ransdell and George F. Swaine of the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology to serve as mem- bers. As soon as a selection for the chief of engineers for the war depart- ment has been made he will also be designated a member of the commis- sion in place of General MacKenzie.” JUST MAKING SUGGESTIONS Wade Ellis Declares He Is Not Draw- ing Up Platform. Norfolk, Va., June 8.—Wade Ellis, attorney general of Ohio, who has been at Virginia Beach for several days preparing the first draft of the Republican natlonal platform, will leave shortly for Washington and thence will go to Chicago. “The only work that has been done on the platform,” said Mr. Ellis, “has been the attempt to get together in concrete form some suggestions for the resolutions committee which:might be made the basis for the work to be done by that committee on the plat- form. There is no infention of pre- paring a platform in advance of the meeting of the committee. “Several prospective members of the committee, chancing to be in Washington, talked the matter over with President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and others interested in the sub- jeot. That is all there is to be said about the Washington conference.” De Sagan-Gould Wedding Delayed. Paris, June 8.—The attorneys for Madame Anna Gould state that vari- ous matters have delayed the marriage of their client to Prince Helle de Sa- gan, but that the ceremony would oc- cur within a month. The presence of George Gould, Madame Gould's brother, at the marriage, is problemat- fcal, as business interests demand his presence in the United States. Eight-Hour Law Knocked Out. Jefferson City, Mo., June 8.—The supreme court, in an opinion rendered by Judge Lamm, decided the eight- hour train dispatchers’ law passed by the last legislature to be unconstitu- tional in that it allows operators at stations where only one operator is employed to work twelve hours. The flecision sustains the lower court and affirms the judgment. PAY BIG FINES INTO COURT Packing Companies and Railroad Were Convicted of Rebating. Kansas City, June 8.—Three pack- ing companies and one railroad com- pany, convicted in 1906 of rebating and sentenced to pay fines aggregating $60,000, handed to the clerk of the United States court a cheok .for:the total amount of their fines, plus costs. Each of the fines was for $185,000. Those pald were Armour Pagl company, Cudahy Packing company, Swift & Co. and the Chicago, Butling- ton and Quincy railroad. The convictions were the first im- portant ones under the interstate commerce law. The packers and the railroad company werg convicted and fined in June, 1906, in %he federal court at Kansas City. The judgments were affirmed in the United States su- preme court. There ig still a fine of equal amount unpald against the Morris Packing. company of this city. BARRICADED IN FARMHOUSE Alleged Highwaymen Holding Off Posse of Officers. Pittsburg, June 8.—A tragical sequel to a number of holdups and robberies In the vicinity occurred at Elizabeth, near here, when County Detective John Englart shot and killed one of the four men barricaded in the farm- house of John Patterson, a woodchop- per, near Elizabeth. Detective Eag- lart was himself shot through the wrist and side and is in a critical condition. Patterson is under arrest, but the three companions of the dead man, armed with rifles and revolvers, are holding in check a large posse of officers and citizens from Elizabeth. The name of the man killed is said to be John Trevers. All the men are alleged to be impli- cated in the holdup and robbery of the Monongahela Consolidated Coal and Coke company’s general office last Thursday morning. The robbery was committed by two men, who were masked and on horseback, and who, after robbing the store, galloped through the mining town of Boston firing revolvers right and left. It 1s also intimated that the men are implicated in the holdup and robbery of a Pittsburg Raflway company street car at Boston several weeks ago, when two masked men at the point of revol- vers robbed eleven passengers and the crew and escaped. CLAIM AGAINST ESTATE. Woodmen Head Banker Seeks to Re- cover $350,000. Chariton, Ia., June 8.—Head Banker C. H. McNider of the Modern Wood- men of America has filed a claim for $350,000 against the F. R. Crocker estate. The notice states that Me- Nider designated the First National bank of Chariton, of which Crocker was cashier and manager, as one of the depositories for the Woodmen funds and his action was approved by the board of directors of the Wood- men. On Oct. 1, 1907, the bank failed. A copy of a bond, which is now al- leged to be a forgery, is attached to the claim. This bond is the security Head Banker McNider had against loss of money in the bank and is for $400,000. Besides the name of F. R. Crocker nine signatures appear on the bond. This bond was signed by Mr. Crocker on July 25, 1905, but the nine other men whose names appear state positively that they never signed such a bond. EMBEZZLED $1,105,000. Pittsburg Bank Employes Get Ten Years Each. Pittsburg, June 8—For the embez- zlemeut of $1,105,000 from the Farm- ers’ Deposit National bank Henry Rei- ber and John Young, former paying teller and auditor, respectively, were sentenced to serve ten years each in the penitentiary. The men were questioned by Judge Young. Reiber stated he was forty- nine years old, married and had three children. Young said he was forty- five years old and married. “I have nothing to say except I am sorry to be here,” said Young. “The affair started in a small way and I had first lost all of my own money.” “I took the money first to help Mr. Young get his money hack,” said Rei- ber. “I did not try to make any money for myself. After we lost we tried only to make up the deficit.” ANOTHER GUNNESS VICTIM Illinois Man Went to Laporte in 1906 to Marry Wealthy Widow. Laporte, Ind, June 8—Mrs. E. GLAY CLEMENT WILL PLAY “NEW DOMINION” HERE The next attraction at the City Opera House will be Clay Clement, in the “New Dommion,” which comes to this city next Monday evening. Bemidji is indeed fortunate in securing so eminent an actor in so sterling a play; and the Pioneer can strongly recommend this actor and his great play as being the very best attraction that has come to this city. Relative to the “New Dominion,” the Morning Oregonian, of Portland, Ore., says: “Not to have seen Clay Clement in one of his most finished creations, “Baron Hohenstauffen,” is not to have seen one of the great actors of the day inone of the most charming plays of this or any other day. In “The New Dominion,” of which the eminent actor is author, and in which he opened a week’s engage- ment at the Marquam yesterday, there is presented a study in char- acters that are lovable and altogether human. The charm of the play lies in its ever-present simplicity, in that not one strained effort for mere effect mars the beautiful unfolding of the story. The comedy is of that high order one finds in the classics. There is an absence of coarseness and grossness. Mr. Clement’s Ho- henstauffen suggests intimate asso- ciation with cultured Germans, an intimacy Mr, Clement enjoyed when a student at Heidelberg for the Baronin the play is of noble birth and is gentle as an old gardener. “After Colonel R. G. Ingersoll saw Mr, Clement for the first time in this part, he wrote the actor a letter in which he said: ‘“The Hohenstauffen of your creation has the culture of the university, the high breeding of the court, the cour- age of the army and the courtesy and tenderness of the perfect gentle- man.” Those words describe beyond the ability of writers of lesser attainments an estimate of Clay Clement’s creation and of his exemplification of that character as strongas it is deserved. “Goodwin has his Maxine; Clement his Kathleen. Miss Kerri- gan, ‘as the Southern girl, who so completely captivates the German philosopher, that the poor man almost loses his mind in the franctic efforts to make her understand his broken sentences and comprehend his love, is one of the striking beau- ties of the American stage, and also possesses true dramatic talent. In her love scenes she is irresistibly winning and when she tells her father her heart belongs to the absent Baron she fairly scintillates with dramatic fire.” Marie Svenkerud, 43 Toffts Garden, Christiania, Norway, through Acting Consul C. E. Faye, Chicago, has made inquiry of Sheriff Smutzer for her son, Olaf Jensen of Capron, IIl, who in 1906 left Chicago for Laporte to marry a Norwegian widow living on a farm near Laporte, whom he had met through a matrimonial advertisement. Jensen was never heard from after that. He took a sum of money along. The mother firmly believes he became one of Mrs. Gunness’ victims. A sister of the missing man, Jennie Svenkerud Haltorp, lives in Chicago. Arrested on Forgery Charge. ‘Watertown, N. Y., June 8—H. J. McCormick, a well known attorney here and until May 1 the claim agent of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdens- burg railroad, was arrested on the tharge of forgery in the second de- gree. McCormick’s alleged pecula- tions are estimated by the railroad officials from $20,000 to $100,000. Heavy Damage to Shipping. Bilbao, Spain, June 8—Floods in the Nerva river have caused much damage to shipping at this port. The steamers Utal and Antonio were car- ried from their moorings and collided with two other boats. The four ves- sels were beached. Many small craft have been carried out to sea. No lives thus far are reported lost. Condition Still Critical. New York, June 8.—Oliver H. P. Belmont, who has been dangerously Il for several days with appendicitis at his summer home at Hempstead, L. [, is reported to be a little better. His condition, however, is still regard- ed as critical. The English Channel. ©One of the most famous bits of water in the world is the English channel, ‘which separates and yet unites the sis- ter countries of England and France and has been the scene of so much of their history. It extends on the Eng Ush side from Land’s End to Dover and on the French side from the island of Ushant to Calals. Its entrance from the German ocean is the strait of Do- ver, twenty-one miles wide, while at the other extremity, where it joins the Atlantic, it is 100 miles from shore ta shore. The greatest width midway is 150 miles. Owing to the strong current setting in from the westward, the high winds which frequently prevail and the configuration of the shores it has o roughness which has become prover- bial and few cross it without seasick- nesg, Spinning on the Gommon. That historic bit of ground known t¢ the world as Boston Common has been the background of many a strange and picturesque scene. Surely not one of the varied events which have been acted upon it presents a quainter pic- ture than one which took place about 1750. Mr. Francis Drake describes the occurrence in his article in “The Memo- rial History of Boston” on *“Life In Boston In the Provincial Period.” In 1720 an attempt was made in Bos- ton to encourage the art of spinning and to establish schools where the process could be taught to the poor. It ‘was recommended that twe&ty spin- ning wheels should be providel by the town for the use of children sent from the almshouse and a premium allowed of £5 for the first piece of lindn spun and woven. | In 1747 a sociely was organized for the encourdgement of the indusfry, and the fourth ammiversary was publicly celebrated. - “In the afternoon,” says an old ac- count, “300 young female cginsters, de- cently dressed, appeared Un the com- mon with their spinning wheels. The wheels were placed in three rows, a female at each wheel. Weavers also appeared In garments of their own weaving. There was an immense num- ber of spectators.” _— Ingersoll on Clover, In declining an invitation to a Clover club dinner once Colonel Robert Inger- soll wrote: “A wonderful thing is ‘clover.” It means honey and cream—that is to say, Industry and contentment—that is to, say, the happy bees in perfumed fields and at the cottage gate ‘01 Boss,” the bountiful, serenely chewing satisfac- tlon’s cud in that blessed twilight pause that, lie a benediction, falls be- tween all toll and sleep.

MINN. Suction. People often speak of chimneys “drawing.” We also speak of the suc: tion of a pump. There is not so much harm in these expressions, except that they are liable to lead us away from the true state affairs. But in truth there is no such thing as suction. Suc- tion is merely partial or entire absence of pressure in one place which enables the greater pressure of air or fluid In another place to rush in. In the case of the chimney the heated ,air in it does not weigh so much as an equal volume of cold air, and if the air in the chimney, the air in the room and the outside air were all the same tem. perature there would be no tendency to any motion. But when the air in the chimney is hot it does not press downword so much as the colder sur- rounding air presses upward. Conse- quently an' upward current is started and will continue if the air in the chimney is kept hot.—A., 8. S. Ackerman in London Express.
