SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —— BERNARD STILL “AT THE TROUGH.” In another column is printed a telegram from Washington stating that Senator Clapp has recommended A. G. Bernard of Cass Lake as a member of the commission which will estimate the amount of timber on the Minnesota forest reserve and ten sections about Cass Lake, and also act as a generalissmo for the commission, as it were. If the appointment is a purely political one, no better or more deserving man could be chosen than “Captain” Bernard; but if that com- mission intends to do the work for which it has evidently been created (estimating pine and performing other field duties) we can easily see where “A. G.” will be shy, by several lengths. Bernard has always been a staunch republican, and has done service for that party which entitles him to the very best which the republicans can hand to him; in fact, Cass Lake people have been looking for a “‘soft snap” for a long time with which to reward “A. G.” for his services for that town. He is_ accredited with having secured the land office for Cass Lake, and it was supposed he would be appointed either register or receiver, but he was turned down. Bernard did receive an appointment as clerk for the Chip pewa estimating corps, but was let out, for some unaccountable reason. His shingle has been out for several years for any old ap- pointment that could be handed to him, and when he was elected as president of the National Drainage mination to provide a soft berth for Bernard, _ People who know Bernard best will be considerably interested in noting just what portion of the commission’s work will be alloted to him. The Princeton Union has said repeatedly, forcefully and violently that any man that the St. Cloud Journal Press would support must be evil minded altogether. The Journal Press has declared daily, heatedly and almost profanely that any man whom the Union would support must be a bad, bad wman. Both the Union and the Journal Press are now supporting Jacobson. What'’s the answer.—Hibbing Tri- bune. There be those who are evil- minded enough to insinuate that both Eastman and Dunn are cor- rect, relative to the Houn. Jake. The Border Budget truthfully says: “The state of Minnesota could well afford to give away every acre of state land it possesses. The loss would be more than repaid in five years by the cultivation of the soil and the income of taxes, especially if the soil is as productive of the latter in all counties as it is in Koochiching.” KNOX BOOMERS ON HAND Pennsylvanians Will Not Admit Taft’s Nomination. Chicago, June 12—The candidacy of Senator Knox of Pennsylvania was given impetus on the arrival at the Knox headquarters of General R. P. Hapgood, Edward J. Krasse and Ed- ward S. Kingsley of the Pennsylvania delegation. “Stick,” sald General Hapgood, in reply to a question whether or not his candidate intends to withdraw, “well, I should say we will stick and the longer and closer we stick the better are our chances. We will not consider second place. Why should we? Who's got first place, anyhow? Nobody has got it and it’s anybody’s fight right now. Don’t forget that.” General E. A. McAlpine of New York also arrived, bringing with him a strong case of optimism for the Hughes boom. He professed himself as ccnfident that the New York gov- League, at a reported compensation of $7,500 per year, Cass Lake people, with one accord,said: ““’Tis well; ‘A. G.” has come into bis own.” However, report has it that the drainage proposition carried col- lections of dues, etc., with it, before the $7,500 per was available, and as Bernard is not fond of work, the 7,500 “plunks” have been away below the stipulated stipend. This fact may account for the recom- mendation of Senator Clapp, who is to be admired for his deter- ernor had a most excellent chance of nomination. General McAlpine said: “All talk about second place for Hughes is plain tommyrot. It's Hughes with us, first,"last and then some.” INSTRUCTED FOR BRYAN. Kentucky Delegates. to Democratic National Convention. Lexington, Ky. June 12.—Ken- tuoky’s delegates to the Democratic national convention are instructed for Bryan.

Mayo are the delegates-at-large. The only fight was the insertion of a temperance plank in the platform, this being favored by one faction of the party and opposed by the other. Rallroad Wreck in Belgium. Tournai, Belgium, June 12.—Five persons were killed and several oth- crs wounded in a railroad wreck near here. A passenger train from Mona ran off the track and several cars were demolished. The wreckage im- mediately caught fire and was con- sumed. It was with difficulty that the wounded were removed from . the wreckage before the flames reached them. PROUD OF HIS WORK. Wade H. Ellis Arrives in Chicago With Draft of Platform. Chicago, June 12.—Attorney Gen- eral Wade H. Ellis of Ohio has ar- rived in Chicago bringing with him a rough draft of the tentative platform to be adopted by the national conven- tion. e “I cannot, for obvious reasons, dis- ¢close the character of the platform now,” said Attorney General Ellis, “but I believe that it will satisfy the people, as it covers all features in popular demand at this time. Its scope 1s wide and, I believe, broad enough to satisfy popular wishes, and in my opinion it will prove the best platform that any political party has sanctioned in recent years. Attorney General Ellis stated he had consulted President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Taft concerning the general details of the platform and that it had met with their en- dorsement. “The document,” he said, “needs rounding out and may admit of some minor changes, but in the main I be- lieve that it will stand as now drawn.” TO ABANDON FORT KEOGH War Department lIssues Orders for Dismantling Post. ‘Washington, June 12—The war de- partment has issued orders for the im- mediate abandonment of Fort Keogh, Mont. The subject of the abandon- ment of this post has been under con- sideration for nearly a year. The troops, with the exception of a de- tachment to care for buildings, stock and supplies, were withdrawn from the reservation last July, and were it not for the fact that strong pressure had been brought to bear upon the officlals of the war department from time to time by the Montana mem- bers in congress it would have been abandoned years ago. The fort is sit- uated two miles east of Miles City, Mont., on the Yellowstone river and is situated in one of the most fertile sections of Montana. It will be imme- diately turned over to the interior de- partment and soon opened up for set- tlement. Representative A. W.

ANTI-RACE TRACK BILL A LAW Long and Bitter Fight Ends in Vie- tory for Governor Hughes and the Supporters of the Measure by a Vote of 26 to 25. Albany, N. Y., June 12.—A legisla- tive battle which for dramatic inter- est and intensity of feeling on both sides rarely, if ever, has been equalled in this state came to an end when the heroism of Senator Foelker of Brook- 1yn made it possible to place upon the statute books two bills repealing the legal discrimination which for thirteen years has protected public gambling within race track enclosures, while it was a felony elsewhere in this state. The vote on each of the bills was 26 to 265. The lineup was in general the same as that in the regular session, when the bills failed of passage by a tle vote, 26 to 25, but since then Senator Wallace of Niagara Falls has been elected to the seat then vacant by the death of Senator Fanchot and his vote made the necessary 26. o Senator Foelker, who underwent an operation on May 10 for appendicitis and whose condition for much of the intervening time was critical, came up from Staatsburg, the journey of sixty miles being a severe tax upon his strength. He was taken to the senate chamber just as the roll call on a dilatory motion was being taken. His Responses Scarcely Audible. He was' plainly suffering from weak- ness and his response when his name was reached was scarcely audible. He was encouraged by his fellow sen- ators’ sympathy and on both of the roll calls on the final passage of the bills voted with the majority. After- wards his doctor said: “Senator Foelker stood the ordeal as well as could be expected. He is extremely neryous. We have not de- cided when we shall return to Staats- burg.” Governor Hughes would not say ‘when he would sign the bills, but left no doubt that no time would be lost after they reach him from the assem- bly, where they originated. Both bills take effect immediately after approval by Governor Hughes. Up to the very last moment the op- position to the bills entertained hope that the measures would fail. Rumors flew thick and fast that Foelker had collapsed and that some other senator who formerly voted for the bills had been induced to “switch.” There was even the report of an attempt in some desperate way to prevent Senator Foelker’s presence at the critical mo- ment. Hvery step of his progress from his house to his seat in the sen- ate chamber was guarded. PREVENT ELECTION FRAUDS Active Intervention in Panama a Pos- slbility. ‘Washington, June 12.—Probably by way of preparing the public mind for active intervention in Panama to pre- vent electoral frauds and ensure & free expression of the will of the peo- ple at the polls the war department has made public copies of correspond- ence that has been exchanged be- tween our government and that of Panama relating to this subject. On May 12 last Secretary Taft wrote President Amador that he had re- celved petitions, which he believed to be corroborated, showing that fraud was about to be perpetrated in the coming election and that President Roosevelt would not permit Panama to pass into the hands of any one so elected. Subsequently the Panaman government agreed to submit to an inquiry at the hands of a commission appointed by this government and that commission is now at work. But the correspondence shows that four governors of provinces have been re- movedasbecause they are Arias men and the electoral law has been other- wise tampered with. The statement concludes: “No opinion was expressed at the war department whether these cir- cumstances were leading to fraud re- quiring intervention. It was said that the government could do nothing but await the event and then sum up the evidence and reach a conclusion.” Predicts Her Own Death. Passaic, N. J.,, June 12.—Waiting patiently and cheerfully for death, ‘which she declares God has told her in a message will take place next Sun- day, Mrs. Anna Kiselela, a widow twenty-seven years old, apparently in good health and the best of spirits, is preparing her funeral arrange. ments. She has informed her neigh- bors that she will leave the ‘doors un- Jocked, so that they may be able to gain entrance after she dies. Billek’s Appeal Turned Down. Springfield, Ill, June 12.—Herman Billek’s application to the Illinois su- preme court to take up the question of changing its unfavorable decision 80 that the case might be sent back to the criminal court, Chicago, for a new trial on account of the showing that the conviction was secured with the aid of perjured testimony has been denied by that tribunal. Entire Island Under Water. Shreveport, La., June 12.—A levee surrounding Douglas island, near here, has broken and the entire island is now under water fourteen feet deep. There was no loss of life, the inhab- itants of the island having ample warning. Brother Accused of Murder.

NEW ISSUES A STATEMENT National Chairman Denles Riding Roughshod Over Everything and Says Contests Are Settled Strictly on Their Merits. Chicago, June 11,—The decision of the Republican national committee in the consolidated case of the Bleventh and Twelfth Missouri districts was in favor of the Taft delegates and they were ordered seated. Committeeman Bcott of West Virginia offered a mo- tion providing that both delegations from each district should be seated, with half a vote each. This was de- feated on a standing vote, 31 to 11 Committeeman Aiken of Missouri then offered a motion seating both Taft delegations and this was carried without a divisicn. After the decision in these cases had been declared Chairman New, in discussing the work of the committee with a number of newspaper men, said: “I know It has been charged that the Taft people on the committee have been riding roughshed over every- thing. I waunt to say, however, that all the contests that have been set- tled by the national committee have been strictly on their merits and on the evidence presented. There has been no roughtiding over anybody.” After the Missouri contests had been settled North Carolina was oalled. In this state there were con- tests over the delegates-at-large and fyom the First to Sixth distriots, in- oclusive, and in the Eighth distriot. The decision of the committee in ihe contest for the delegates-at-large from North Carolina was in favor of the Taft faction. Taft Men Agaln Victorious. The contest in the First district of North Carolina was decided in fayor of the Taft delegates. A motion was made and lost to send both delega- tlons with a half vote each. The con- test in the Second and Third North Caroling districts also were decided in tavor of Taft, Manpger Frank H. Hitchcock of the Taft forces has made an important glp;u rption in relation to the vice esidential situation. Mr. Hitchcock said: “On the question of the nomination of g vice president Secretary Taft and his manager have made no combina- tions or deals, they will not hereafter make any combinations or deals and will not push the candidacy of any particular man. We are simply work- ing to secure the nomination of Secre- tary Taft on the first ballot and when we have achieved that we will be b_lghly satisfied “The question of the selection of a vice presidential candidate is for the national convention to decide and there i3 no thought in the Taft man- agement of attempting to influence s decision. Secretary Taft has no dea or intention of binding the dele- gates: who cast their votes for him for president to vote for any particu- lar person for vice president. The Teft people are not backing any candi- date for vice president and they will not do so hereafter.” WATCHED BY DETECTIVES Mystery in Visit of Former Italian Deputy. New York, June 12.—~8ince the ar- rival ip this country a few days ago of Raffaelo Palizzolo, who was once a member for Palermo in the Italian chamber of deputies, his every move- ment has been watched by Lieutenant Vashris and policemen attached to the Brooklyn police headquarters, who are anxious to find out the significance of his visit. Palizzolo has been warmly recetved by his compatriots and he declares that his errand is merely to exténd thanks to those who subscribed to a fund of $20,000 to obtain his re- lease when he was on trial in Italy. He was holding the office of deputy when he was arrested in connection with the killing of Emanuelo Notar- bartolo, who was mayor of Palermo. He was brought to trial in Bologna in 1903, after many delays, and with two members of the Mafia was gen- tenced to thirty years in prison. The court of cassation quashed this sen- tence and a new trial was ordered in Florence. At this second trial he was acquitted. Minnesota Federation of Labor.
