/\ < ROYAL LEAGUE STATE CONVENTION A SUGGESS Annual Session at Cass- Lake a Su:- cess.—Many Noted Speakers Present. Cass Lake, July 7.—(Special to Pioneer.)—After one of the most en- thusiastic and interesting conven- tions ever held in the State of Min- nesota, the Roval League conven- tion closed its sessionlast evening in this city. The convention was opened Satur- when Mayor L. M. Lange, in an eloquent manner, wel- day morning, comed the many delegates and visit- ors. After the address of welcome and responses a business session was held and the advisability of dividing the state into two districts was taken up. This brought about some discussion and it was finally referred to the convention which will meet at Duluth in January. At the same time a temporary organization, to be known as the Northern Minnesota Advisatory Counsel was organized. E. D. Boyce of Cass Lake was unan imously elected president and H. H. Stone secretary. Saturday evening the delegates, and their accompanying friends, assembled around a sumptous ban- quet, where they partook of its luxuries. Following the banquet, Toast- master Mayor Lange arose and introduced Mr. Horton of Duluth, who chose as his subject “Why We Lose.” The speech was interesting, eloquent and brought forth much merriment to the listeners. The next speaker was Mr. Hyde, an officer of the supreme lodge of Chicago. His address was along patriotic lines and was one of the best orations ever heard in the city. He dwelt on fraternalism and on its forms, and closed by paying a glow- ing tribute to our nation. The other speakers were Jesse Neil of Minneapolis, advisory scribe, State Organizer Sharp of St. Paul, Supreme Scribe Piper, Rev. Brbour and Rev. Parshall of Cass Lake. Sunday afternoon the visitors.-were treated to a trip on the lake and various points of interest were visited. A basket social was held on Star Island, and a moonlight excursion was given Sunday evening. The Cass Lake band was added to the pleasure of the excursionists.

Grand Forks Herald:—The case of Alice Beardsmore vs. G. W. Barton was tried in the district court at Crookston yesterday and last even- ing the jury, after being out buta short time, awarded the plaintiff dam- ages in the sum of $2,000. The his- tory of the case is too well known to require details at this time, but it may be stated briefly that some time ago a local hack driver known as “Dude” Smith was convicted in the district court of an attempted assult on the plaintiff in this case, while at her request he was conveying her from the depot to the home of a friend in this city. The hack was owned by and the hackman employed by G. W. Barton of Grand Forks. Soon after the con- viction of Smith the present suit was brought by the plaintiff and the case tried yesterday, as stated above. The plaintiff was represented byMas- see & Finlayson and the defendant by Skulason of Grand Forks. “Dude” Smith is now serving a three year sentence in Stillwater. “Dude” Smith lived in Bemidji several years ago, but did not at that time have the reputation of being a “hard customer.” Many residents of the city will remember him, as he drove a hack here. Work on M. & 1. Completed. Superintendent Strachan, of the M. & I. railway company, reports that the ballasting of the Big Falls— International Falls railroad has been completed. This work was still uncompleted last fall, when the winter season closed in upon them. However, the work was left to the M. & I. railway company, which operates “the entire line and this spring they completed this line of work. It has been brought to a successful completion in spite of the heavy rains and wet weather, which has caused this work to be complet- ed under difficulties. The track between Big Falls and International Falls is now in as good condition as any other line between here and the border, though it will be affected somewhat by the rains and frostsuntil the ground has be- come settled. Wins in Races at Fertile. Thomas Newby returned vyester- day from Fertile where he raced his two speedy little horses, ‘“‘Brownie Mac” and “Bessie Barolite?, at the Polk County race-meeting held at that place last Friday and Saturday. Mr. Newby was very fortunate in his races and is to be congratulated on his successes. ‘‘Brownie Mac” won first place in the 2:30 class race on Friday and in the 2:20 race on Saturday. “Bessie Barolite” won second honors in the 2:15 class pace on Friday and secured second place again on Saturday in the free-for- all. Mr. Newby drove his own horses, Mr. Newby reports that the track record of 2:23% was lowered to 2:18 by “Mitchell”, a horse owned by Joe Ecker of Crookston which was sired by “General Blackford.” The latter horse is now owned by Dr. Warninger of this city. Called to lowa By lliness. A message came to Frank Wagner this morning announcing the serious illness of his brother Ed. who lives in West Union, Iowa. The dispatch states that the afflicted one is suffer- ing with a severe attack of rheuma- tism and blood poison and says that he isdying and for him (Frank) to come at once. The young man’s mother is confined to her home on Irvine avenue with illness and is unable to answer the call, but two brothers, Frank and Joseph, left this noon for West Union and will ad- minister succor to the sick one. Lemons From Skerbecks. Citizens of Bemidji, who attended Skerbecks’ one-ring show, minus its advertised attractions Friday even- ing and Saturday speak of the show as though they were handed a lemon. It seems from the show they put on here and the attractions they advertised for this city that the show and attractions went one way while the tents came this way. From the advertised attractions it seems they deviated considerably, placing on here but few of the attrac. tions they advertised. Cribbage Players. Look at our locals. There will be something doing in cribbage soon. Additional Locals Wanted: Two girls for kitchen work. Inquire at the Markham Hotel.

Decker of this city left yesterday afternoon for Dallas, Texas, whére he will attend the national convention of Elks the latter part of the week as a delegate from Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052. The First Test of Baby’s Mind. Just as the germ of the flower is contained in the tiniest seed and will reveal itself with an absolute certainty as will rootlets and leaves when prop- er conditions of heat. moisture and light are accorded, so the germ of the mind of a child is present in his little body and will develop and unfold it- self with the growth of the latter. The only way to stop the growth of a child’s mind is to stop his body from growing. Appetite is the mother of the mind, and muscle is its father. At its lowest estimate the body with its brain is the tool of the mind, and good work cannot be done without good tools. The first test*of muscular vigor, the hand grasp, is an indication of the mental possibilities as well. Not one child out of a hundred who at ten days of age grasps firmly and clings to a finger or pencil rubbed against his pink little palm will ever fall below the average intelligence of his race.— ‘Woods Hutchinson, M. D., in Woman’s Home Companion. 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 Uish side from Land’s End to Dover and on the French side from the island of Ushant to Calais. 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 to 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 a roughness which has become prover- bial and few cross it without seasick- ness. NOTED AUTHOR IS DEAD. Joel Chandler Harris Passes Away at His Home in Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., July 6.—Joel Chandler Harris, familiarly known as “Uncle Remus” and an author of note, died at his home in a suburb of this city. Mr. Harris, whose health had not been good for some time, had only been confined to his bed for about ten days, suffering from cirrhesis of the liver. Complications set in and he grew rapidly worse and continued to sink until the end came. Joel Chandler Harris was borm in Eatonton, Ga., Dec. 9, 1846. He was married in 1873 to Miss Essie Larose of Canada, and in 1876 moved to At- lanta, joining the staff of the Atlanta Constitution.

In 1900 Mr. Harris retired from active journalism and until Jast year, when he became editor and proprietor of Uncle Remus Magazine, spent most of his tim® at his suburban home. TROUBLE IN HONDURAS.

MAKE PLEA Ask That Tariif Barriers Be Re- moved From Their Products. FULL JUSTICE NOT YET DONE Are Thankful for Benefits Gained Un- der American Rule, but Desire the Same Treatment Accorded to the Porto Ricans. Manila, July 6.—The following peti- tion to the *American people, dated July 4, has been issued here: “To the American People: On this euspicious day, which commemorates the birth of your wonderful republic, 132 years ago, we, the people of the Philippine islands, send you greeting and felicitate you upon your marvel- ous growth, your matchless achieve- ments, your boundless prosperity. - “We deem it fitting that the Fourth of July should be the day chosen to make formal representations to you of our condition and our needs. “Since the 13th day of August, 1898, the affairs, economic and political, of the Filipino people have been under absolute control of the government of the United States. “We recognize the fact that during the ten years this relation has contin- ued much has been accomplished for the advancement and uplifting of this race and the development of industry In these islands. We are not insen- sible to the benefits of the great pub- lc school system; mnor of the fiscal system; nor of the system of railroads and public improvements that have been inaugurated by and with the energy, fidelity' and genius of the American people. Yet, while cthe United States has done 8o much for us, so much that will make for the security and stability of prosperity in the future, there is one thing that could have been done, which, if done, would have prevented much suffering and disaster that has overtaken a large body of our agricultural popula- tion. We refer to the removal of the tariff barriers of the United States on products from the Philippine islands. While sections of the archipelago that vield hemp, copera and rice have con- tinued during recent years under a Fair Measure of Prosperity the country has lacked the stimulus of capital and the producers of many articles, notably sugar, have laborad under conditions that precluded suc- cess; and during the present year the low prices that have prevailed for hemp and copera, together with a par- tial failure of the rice crop, have pros- trated industry and precipitated an acute economic crisis. “We earnestly direct your attentien to these facts; That while it is true that labor in pur fields is poorly paid there is good reason why it cannot be better paid. ‘The same law that ap- plies to and controls other industries applies alse to the agricultural indus- try here. [f the cotton trade lan- guishes the wages of your mill oper- atives are reduced; as business im- proves wages are advanced and it would be just as reasonable to tell our hemp, sigar and tobacco planters that if their business is not paying them they must turn to wheat grow- Ing or the raising of cotton as it would be to tell your cotton mill owners or your cotton| planters that when the cotton busihess is depressed they should turn to making iron and stecl or to raising sugar beets. “We have been made to witness the splendid development and evident prosperity of Porto Rico; that island has enjoyed{the advantages of free trade with the United States and we saturally fee] that if it were justice o 8o legislate in the case of Porto Rico then full justice has not yet been done the Philippines. “We therefore earnestly petition the people of the United States to influ- once the United States congress to enact legislation that will give to the Philippine islands equal trade advan- tages with Porto Rico, that the eco- nomic troulles with which we are afflicted may be removed and these Islands once'more be brought to a con- ition of prdsperity and happiness.” SENT TO HIM BY EXPRESS Michigan Sheriff Receives Infernal | Machine. Houghton, Mich.,, July 6.—Five sticks of dynamite, carefully packed In a box and so adjusted that the drawing of {he lid would complete an electric circuit and explode the ‘whole tharge, were received by Sheriff Au- gust Beck in an express package. Turnkey William Anderson started to spen the package according to instruc- tlons .written on the wrapper, but the sheriff’s suspicions were aroused and he opened the side of the box and found the explosive and a couple of iry batteries. The charge was sufficient to have dlown the jail building to atoms and killed all the persons within it. Sheriff Beck has been extremely ictive in the enforcement of the laws against saloons and gambling places wnd his life has been threatened sev- sral times. Verdict of Not Guilty. Portland, Ore., July 6.—The jury in the case of James H.

REVOLT IN PARAGUAY. | SAnnuinlry‘Fluming in the Strests of | Asuncion. Buenos Ayres, July 6.—The latest advices received from private sources ot Form_osa‘ in the northeastern part of Argentina, say that there has been sanguinary fighting in the streets of Asuncion, the capital of, Paraguay, ‘where a revolution is said to have bro- ken out reently, and that hundreds of persons have been killed or wound- man was accompanied by his wife and Dr. B. P. Carter. ed.. Bdvand e R T e e P States ™ minister fo Paraguay “and Uruguay, and Harry B. Owsley, Jr., secretary of legation, both are in Asun- cion. Communication by telegraph and telephone with Asuncion has been cut and consequently there are conflict- Ing rumors of a sensational character current here. In an interview with the Associated Press Dr. Caesar Gondra, who with Dr. Lopez of this city and General Caballero 'and General Escobar, both former presidents of Paraguay, is one of the leading spirits in the revolution in Paraguay, says the present move- ment, which was organized over a year ago, is a purely national rising against a government that has re- duced Paraguay to conditions ap proaching bankruptcy, with a daily falling off in trade, an increasing pre- mium on gold and growing distress of the population. The revolution commenced June 30, Dr. Gondra said, with a mutiny of the First regiment of artillery and in- fantry, which, with the armed trans- port Libertad, bombarded the police barracks at Asuncion, where 1,000 men were quartered. pfeedededededededoob b bbb ododoiobdod 3 DIES AFTER LONG CRUSE § % WITH BATTLESHIP FLEET spofrbeoleoldeodrbodrd i oot oo doodeoder REAR ADMIRAL THOMAS.

New York, July 6.—That Mary Man- nering has brought suit for divorce from James K. Hackett was learnad from Miss Mannering’s counsel, Among theatrical folk rumors of such & suit have been current for some months. The summons in the divorce suit was served on Mr. Hackett early In June, three days before he sailed for Europe. Miss Mannering engaged counsel about a year ago, but the suit was not begun until it was apparent that there was no further hope of reconciliation. Miss Mannering and Mr. Hackett have not lived together for a year. At the close of her theat- rical season a year ago Miss Manner- Ing took apartments for herself and when she later went on tour she left ber child in charge of a sister who came from England expressly to take care of the little one. It is understood that the complaint will name more than one co-respondent. Mr. Hackeit first met Miss Mannering when he was leading man at Daniel Frohman's Lyceum theater and was appearing as Bruce Leslie in “The Courtship of Leonl.” They were married May 2, 1897, but the marriage was kept secret antil the following January.

Burton of Ohio is here and together with Frank B. Kellogg had conferences dur- ing the day, A suite of fiye rooms was reserved for Mr. Taft and he will have a com. plete working library here as soon as the remainder of his baggage arrives.

Denver, July 6.—“William J. Bryan on the first ballot.” This announce- ment was made by Charles W. Bryan, a brother of the leading presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket, simultaneously with the formal open- ing of the Bryan headquarters in the Brown Palace hotel. Mr. Bryan ar- rived in the city from Lincoln and immediately assumed charge of his brother’s interests. He soon made it known that his original estimate oi 807 votes on the first ballot for hia brother would stand. “These figures are based on tele- grams and letters from instructed del- egates and those who are favorable ta my brother,” said Mr. Bryan. “I am not counting on any of them breaking away.” Soon after the headquarters were opened they began to be the center of Interest among the party leaders and delegates. Mr. Bryan has been inde- fatigable in connection with his brother’s candidacy. During the past year he has handled over four hun- dred thousand letters and telegrams addressed to his brother and for the past several weeks has made all the arrangements for the visits of the various delegates and party leaders to Lincoln. It is said of him that he met all incoming trains and personally took charge of .every visitor having business with his brother. Another prominent Nebraskan to arrive was Hon. Gilbert H. Hitchcock of Omaha. “We do not bring the platform with us,” said Mr. Hitchcock, “but we are satisfied that the declaration of prin- ciples will follow the lines of the Ne- braska resolutions.” WANTS BRYAN TO QUIT. Herman Ridder Asks Him to With draw From Contest. Lincoln, Neb., July 6.—The streai of callers and letters, all expressive ot the best wishes for the political future of W. J. Bryan, was interrupted when Herman Ridder, editor of the New York Staats Zeitung, called at Fair view and asked Mr. Bryan to withdraw from the contest in favor of “some Democrat who could win.” The interview was pleasant through. out, but Mr. Bryan did not bolt the Bryan ticket to any appreciable de- gree. The interview between Mr. Ridder and Mr. Bryan was of the frankest nature throughout. Mr. Ridder told Mr. Bryan in as many words that he would oppose him openly at the Den- ver convention, but in the event of his being nominated to head the tick- ot that the Staats Zeltung and Mr. Ridder personally would support the ticket. Mr. Ridder told Mr. Bryan that it DIARRHOEA There is no need 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 Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy In fact, in most cases one dose is sufficient. It never fails and can be relied upon in the most severe and dangerous cases. It is equally val- uable for children and is the means. of saving the lives of many children each year.
