SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM FITTING RECOGNITION OF SERVICES REN- DERED. In the news columns of the Pioneer today is published an article, taken from the St. Paul Pioneer Press, which states that the State Board of Immigration has increased the salary of George Welsh, the com- missioner of immigration, from $2,000 per annum to $3,000 per annum, and also ‘‘boosted” the salary of the chief clerk from $100 per month to $125 per month. This action of the board should meet with the approval of every resident of Minnesota. During the incumbency of Mr. Welsh, the im- migration commission has done a great work in advertising the re- sources of Minnesota, and consider- ing the limited amount of money at the disposal of Mr. Welsh, the re- sults have been wonderful. The commissioner has worked assiduous- ly, early and late, when other officials in the capitol had departed for their homes, and he has “‘burned the midnight oil,” very often, during the past eighten months. The same is true of Mr. Welsh’s efficient clerk, whose name escapes us at present. The clerk has ably seconded the efforts of Mr.” Welsh, and the two have made a very strong team for the advancement ABOUT A DOZEN DEAD BUILDING BEING TORN DOWN .Wat a Three-Story Brick and Frame Structure and Was Being Removed to Make Way for a Proposed New Theater. Minneapolis, July 1.—Carried down three stories by the collapse of the roof of a barn they were tearing down on Seventh street between Nicollet men were buried in the ruins. At least half of them are believed to be killed. ‘Within half an hour five had been rescued, all dangerously injured, and two bodies of workmen killed by the falling timbers had been taken out. To add to the seriousness of the af- fair the gaspipes leading into the building were broken and any of the buried men who escaped the falling roof and walls stood in great danger of asphyxiation. The building was a three-story brick and frame structure and was being torn down to make way for the new Miles theater. - The men were working on a plat- form immediately beneath the roof. The collapse of the roof carried the platform away and the men fell three stories into the basement. MANY POLICE ON GUARD. Women Suffragists Make a Raid on the House of Commons. London, July 1—Women guffra- glists assembled to the number of sev- eral hundred in Caxton hall and sent a deputation to the house of commp!'\s for the purpose of interviewing PFre- and development of Minnesota and her resources. Mr. Welsh is an especial friend of northern Minnesota, which fact he has demonstrated on many occasions; and the people of this vicinity will heartily approve the action of the Immigration Board in raising his salary, although the increase was not as much as was deserved. Now, the legislature should come to the front and appropriate a sum sufficient to put the immigration board on a good working basis, so that a liberal policy may be pursued in the work of the board. TEACHERS’ CONVENTION. New President and Next Meeting Place Topics of Discussion. Cleveland, July 1.—The technical slde of the educational problem, or rather the science of teaching in its varlous phases, was taken up by dif- férent groups of the delegates who are sttending the annual convention of the National Educatienal association. The matter of selecting the next president and the place for holding B next annual convention are topies generots discussion. While these oints will not be officially reached by the convention for several days the gpmpuisning is becoming lively. Amofig those prominently mentioned for the presidency are Dr. W. O. Thompson, president of the Ohio State upjversity, Columbus, O.; J. H. Phil- Ups, Birmingham, Ala., and L. D. Har- vey of Menominee, Wis. The Central Eastern states, which have the largest representation at the convention, aye said to favor the selection of Dr. Thompson. Denver and Atlantic City are the two candidates for the next conven- tion. 8o far these are the only citles that have appeared in the foreground. FINALLY RESULT IN DEATH Injuries Sustained by Guard When MeKinley Was Shot. Chicago, July 1.—Albert Gallaher, for many years in the secret service of the United Btates and one of those detailed as the personal bodyguard of the late President McKinley at the time of his assassination, is dead here. It was Gallaher who seized the wrist of Czolgosz after the fatal shot was fired and wrenched the weapon from his hand. -‘Gallaher was mistaken by the crowd for the assasyin and was set upon and beaten. 'o this fact, according to the attemding physiclan, Gallgher's death was indirectly due, ap affectjoq of the liver having devel- oped from injurles which he received at that time. Atter experience at Buffalo Gal- Iaher was under a physician’s care for a time, but the extent of his injuries was pot then realized. He was later transferred from Chicago to St. Paul, where he became ill and unfitted for duty last October. Ploneer Newspaper Man Dead. Butte, Mont,, July 1.—Colonel Dan- 1el Searles, for forty years a resident of Montana, died at Anaconda at the age of nearly seventy-nine years. Fol- lowing his career as editorfal writer on the Butte Miner, which brought him distinction, he was associated at difterent times with the Helena Inde- pendent, Helena Live Stock Journal, Fort Benton River Press, Great Falls Tribune, Missoula Missoulian, Butte Inter-Mountain and the Whitehall Zenbyr, v e St mier Asquith in the matter of the im- mediate granting of the franchise to women. At the house the members of the deputation were met by a solid body of police and refused admission. The premier, in a ourt message, de- clined to see the deputation and when the delegation returned to Caxton hall their arrival was the signal for a noisy denunciation of the government and a decisfon to collect the full force of the suffragists for subsequent demonatra- tions at the house of commons. Hun- dreds of ‘police are guarding the house in view of the projected raid. Later in the day the suffragists as- sembled in great numbers in the vicin- ity of the house of commons.. They made several ugly rushes on the police cordon and refused to disperse when ordered. A number of arrests were made. VOTE TO GO ON STRIKE. Chicago Freight Handlers Will At tempt to Enforce Demands. Chicago, July 1.—Railroads enter- ing Chicago are threatened with a strike by the Freight Handlers’ union unless within twenty-four hours the companies agree to sign a year’s wage agreement. A resolution to this effect was passed at a mass meeting held by 2,000 members of the union following a bitter attack on railroads by Inter- national President P, J. Flannery. ‘Without a dissenting vote the union passed the measure, which ultimately may mean the tying up of the greater part of the freight business of the city. Should the railroads refuse the de- mand of the freight handlers and fail to sign the desired contract within the prescribed time the union voted to allow the calling of the strike to rest in the hands of President Flannery and the executive board and to allow them to use whatever method they think best to win the fight. CHIPPEWAS ARE RICH. Have an Even Million Dollars in Wis- consin Banks. Ashland, Wis.,, July 1.—For the Arst time in the history of the Chip- pewa Indians of Northern Wisconsin they now have an even million dollars on deposit in the banks of Ashland, Hudson, Duluth and Bayfield. In addi- tion the Indians have claims against the government aggregating $300,000, represénting the difference in value between the sums paid thém in green- backs for their treaty claims in war times and the gold value. Booth & Co. Plead Gulity. Chicago, July 1.—A. Booth & Co., one of the largest firms dealing in fish and oysters in the West, pleaded guilty to a charge of having accepted concessions from railroad companies. An indictment against the company was returned a year ago and contained several counts, all of which, with one exception, were dismissed. The charge on which the plea of guilty was based alleged that the company received $469 from two Eastern railroads. Fugitives Trapped in Cave. Fort Smith, Ark, July 1—In a fight between a posse and three men who escaped from jail at Stigler, Okla., BSaturday, one outlaw and a member of the posse was wounded. The fugl- tives are entrenched in a cave and after more than a hundred shots were exchanged the officers ceased firing and withdrew to a safe distance, ‘where they will remain until the three fugitives surrender. JURY ACCEPTED A FEE. Verdict Declaring Wealthy Man In- competent Set Aside. New York, July 1.—The verdict by which Edward W. Vanderbilt, a retired and well to do business man of Brook- lyn, was declared incompetent to mag- ege his own affairs was set aside by the appellate divieion and a néw i Score of Minneapolis Workmen || and Hennepin avenues twenty-four { was ordered on the ground that the Jury had accepted illegal fees. The action to have Mr. Vanderbilt declared incompetent was brought by |- his daughter, Minerva Vanderbilt, sev- DIARRHOER ‘There is no neéd of anyone suffer- ing long with this disease, for to effect a quick cure it is only neces- sary to take a few doses of i Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy In fact, in most cases one dose is sufficient.

Pepper, the spiritualistic me- dium, and, according to his daughter, had given a large amount of property to his wife. Witnesses testified that Mr. Vanderbilt had recelved communi- cations through Mrs. Pepper from a spirit she called “Bright Eyes” and which was supposed to bring messages from Mr. Vanderbilt’s former wife. As a result of the finding of the jury de- claring Vanderbilt to be incompetent Mrs. Pepper Vanderbilt was indicted on a charge of larceny of his property and action was begun to annul her marriage to Vanderbilt. The appellate division ruled that the sherift's . jury which heard the case had no right to accept a fee of 31 a day each from -the counsel for Miss Minerva Vanderbilt and there- fore ordered a mnew trial. This de- cision is believed to quash the indict" ment against Mrs. Pepper Vanderbilt and to act as a stay to the action to annul the marriage. New Head of Women’s Clubs. Boston, July 1—Mrs. Philip N. Moore of St. Louis {8 to be the presi- dent of the General Federation of ‘Women'’s Clubs for the next two years, having defeated Mrs. May Alden Ward of Boston, the presidential candidate named by the nominating committee.

CASE | Actlon ‘of Court Taken at the Com- Pletion of the Recéuni: of Ballots Showing a Plurality of Nearly 3,000 I, for Incumbent Offie| New York, July 1—+Justice Lam- bert has directed the jury to find a verdjct for Mayop MgClellan in the election recount suit, upholding Mr. MeClellan’s election. The court¥ ac- tion followed the completion of the toking of evidence: After a recount of the ballots cast in the mayoralty eleotion of 1905 had shown a legal plu- rality of nearly 3,000 for McClellan Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for the contestant, asserted that the ballot boxes were stuffed. Mr. Shearn of- fered evidence in an effort to show that Mr. Hearst was defrauded of 6,063 votes. Mr. Shearn then rested his case. Counsel for Mayor McClellan then offered in evidence the official returns of the election inspectors and the poll books and tally sheets from the county clerk’s office. This verdict, for the present at least, terminates the long drawn liti- gatlon instituted by Mr. Hearst, in- volving the enactment of a law pro- viding for a recount. In hig address to the jury Justice Lambert said that no fraud had been pfoved in the case and if he should pérmit the disfranchisement of citi- zéns on such slight evidence this coun- try would last but a very short time. POISONEd ALE BY EXPRESS Unknown - Parties Cause Death _of Philadelphia Physician. Philadelphia, July 1.—The police of this city hope to be able to make an important move shortly in the case of Dr. William H. Wilson, who died suddenly after drinking a bottle of ale and who is believed to have been poi- soned. It was at first thought that the doctor had died from natural c?uaei, but there were so many sus- plelous circumstances surrounding his death that the coroner investigated. This resulted in an expressed opinion that Dr. Wilson was poisoned and that he did not administer the poison himself. Anticipating a murder verdict by the coroner the police soon after the death of Dr. Wilson began an investi- gation into his life and habits. At the North Seventh street house where Dr. Wilson had lived for about ten years there was no sign indicating that a physiclan lived there. He did not do & general practice in the neighbor- hood. He had patients, however, and they are said to have been principally women who were able to pay well for his services. The line of practice the doctor had was highly remunerative, for he was noted as a “good spender” and he had a summer home at Corn- wells, - near Philadelphia, a _steam launch and an automobile. The motive for the supposed mur- der {8 believed to be hidden in Dr. Wilson’s medical practice. The the- ory of the police is that a male friend or relative of a woman who 18 be- lieved to have died after receiving medioal attention at the hands of Dr. ‘Wilson sent the poisoned ale.
