International Falls Bo rder Budget Notice was received Wednesday by the board of county commissioners that Judge McClenahan had set aside the temporary order restraining them from erecting a court house for Koochiching county. The news was received with great rejoicing by the commissioners and county officials and citizens in general, and it is the opinion of many that this will be the final move as regards the county seat removal talk, Immediately upon receipt of the wire announcing Judge McClena-~ han’s decision, the county board, which was in session, approved the plans for the court house, which were submitted by Architect C. E. Bell, of Minneapolis, and authorized that notices for bids for the con- struction of the same be published. The bids will be opened on August 13 and it is expected that work on the new building will be well under way a month from this time. The plans as submittbed by the architect call for a modern three- story building about 64x92 feet and 84 feet in heighth from the ground to the top of the dome. The material for the construction of the court house has not been fully decided upon, consequently the bids will call for tenders on a build- ing to be built of pressed brick with stone trimmings, and one of Bedford stone entirely. The latter material is quarried in Indiana, and is a very beautiful grayish white stone which at present is being used in the con- struction of several large public among which are the South Dekots | FORM LINE IN FRONT OF GASS LAKE LAND OFFIGE Singer building in New York Clty.

Cass Lake, July 28:—(Special to Pioneer )—The editor of the Cass Lake Voice this morning received notice from Washington to the effect that the secretary of the interior would at once order thrown open to settlement some 46,000 - acres of lands which were heretofore included within the confines of the so-called Minnesota National Forest Reserve, and that the opening would occur on September 15th. The contents of the notice were soon noised around the village and quite a number of people who desired to file on lands within the territory began forming a line in front of the land office for the pur- pose of being on hand September 15 to make their filings. The first man to take bis place in front of the land office was Joseph Lewis of iibbing. He was quickly followed by J. W. Johnson of this city, and thirty other men got into line behind Johnson, and, although more than a month must elapse be- fore the land is thrown open they announce their determination to “stick” until the opening of the land. According to the notice received by the Voice, there will be no draw- ing and the lands will be opened to filings with. regulations as to “squat- ting,” which will be forwarded to the registers and receivers of the U.S. land offices at Duluth and Cass La.ke at a later date.

AFTER PROPERTY O.WNERS Charged That Wealthy and Influential Citizens and Even Institutions of Learning Derive Revenue From Buildings in the “Red Light” Dis- trict and Saloons ol a Questionable Character. i 3 Chicago, July 2!.—Wealthy and in- fluential citizens of Chicago, who owa property devoted to vice, will be proge- cuted. This was the edict issued by the Chicago Law and Order league. Formal notices will be sent out at once and the men and women who own and control property in the “red light” districts of Chicago will be. haled into court and, if possible, made to suffer the penalty provided by law. Arthur Burrage Farwell, president of the Chicago Law and Order league, 18 back of the prosecution. He has asked State’s Attorney Healy for a legal form of notice to be served upon the owners of buildings and saloons which are tenanted by questionable characters and this notice will be served upon the property owners as soon as their names can be learned from the books in the recorder’s office. It is expected that the names of many prominent Chicagoans will be made public by the proposed inquiry engineered by Mr. Farwell and his associates. associates. Several well known es- tates are comprised in part of prop- erty which is now used for improper purposes in the Twenty-second street police: district. Even universities are deriving re¥- enue from property in the vicinity of Twenty-first and Dearborn streets and the owners and agents of this prop- erty will be brought into court as de- fendants in the cases which are to be prosecuted "by the Law and Order league. : State’s Attorney Healy said that he had been asked to prepare a legal notice warning-the owners of prop- erty devoted to vicious resorts that such places should be suppressed. If this warning is disregarded Mr. Far- well will take immediate steps to bring the owners into court and force them to pay the penalty provided. " MAY APPEAL OIL CASE. Government Hopes to Upset Decision of Court of Appeals. Chicago, July 2| —President Roose- velt’s statement on the Standard Oil decision had the effect of a galvanic battery on the government’s legal forces in Chicago. District Attorney Sims and his assistants are straining ‘every mnerve to regain the $29,240,000 fine which slipped through their fin- gers in the decision of the court of appeals. The government prosecutor realizes that to go to trial again would, even in the event of a conviction, mean a much smaller fine. He therefore bases his hopes on the theory of Attorney General Bonaparte that the issues may be presented to the United States supreme court through application for a writ of certiorari. The course of action as now mapped out by the government is understood to include an application by the attor- ney general for a writ of certiorari and a petition for a rehearing before the United States court of appeals. Mr. Sims and his aides, James H. ‘Wilkerson and Harry A. Parkin, were in telegraphic communication on this subject with Mr. Bonaparte. The lo- cal department of the bureau of jus- tice probably will devote its attention to the application for a rehearing, while Frank B. Kellogg, who will be called into the case at the suggestion of President Roosevelt, wil, it is un- derstood, prepare the action that is ‘to be presented to the supreme-court. Woman Accused of Murder. St. Paul, July 27.—Joe Hauley, col- ored waiter at the Minnesota club, was stabbed during a fight at the hegre of a colored woman here and laid beside a woodpile in the rear of the place to die. He was taken by the police to Bethesda hospital, where he succumbed several hours later. Ida Dodson, also colored, who lives at the house where the stabbing oc- curred, is under arrest charged with the murder. Two lowa Tots Drowned. Lake City, Ia., July 2..—While Mrs. Ellis Heath was sleeping in her yard suffering from a severe headache her two' little children, Helen, aged three years and three months, and Harriet, aged two years, were drowned in North Coon river, southeast of this city.

New York, July 2/—Robbers se- cured about $15,000 worth of jewelry, diamonds and gold by blowing open with dynamite the safe of Thomas J. Dunn & Co.

HEARD HER DYING (BROTHER'S CALL Twin Sister Twelve Miles From Scene of Accident, - Fast St. Louis, I, July 28.—While her twin brother Fred was being sucked to his death in the quicksands | of Long lake, near Mitchell, IIl., Merle Huber, seventeen years old, who was twelve miles away at home alone, shrieked and fell to the front -porch in a faint. Neighbors ran to her as- sistance and revived her. “Fred is dying. I can hear him calling to me. He is drowning, let me go to him,” moaned the girl. Merle made frantic efforts to leave the house, but was held back by friends, who assured her that Fred was all right. The girl could not be quieted. Five minutes later a message came from Mitchell that Fred Huber had been drowned. When the news reached his_ sister she again fainted and is in a critical condition. MYSTERY SURROUNDS CRIME Cleveland Young Man Shot Under Pe- culiar Circumstances. Cleveland, July 28.—With a bullet wound just over his heart a young man who is registered as Louis Weber is said to be dying at Charity hos- pital. Back of the shooting is a mys- tery which the police of Cleveland and Cleveland Heights, a fashionable suburb, where it occurred, have not been able to solve. The shooting occurred not far from the scene of the Carl Bernthaler and Lena Zeichman murder several months ago and as far as is known under somewhat similar circumstances. ‘Weber was walking on the heights with a Miss' Agnes Atkinson, the po- lice say. Both. principals say Weber was shot by two men while the couple were sitting on the grass. The girl helped the young man to the resi- dence of F. P. Root and asked for water. To Mr. Root she sald they had been sitting at the side of the road not far from the Root residence when two men dashed through the bushes at the rear of them. She said the men seemed greatly excited. One held a revolver in his hand and #s he ran past them he fired. The bullet struck the girl’'s companion, passing through his arm and into his breast just above the heart. The men disappeared as quickly as they ‘came the girl said MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat. Minneapolis, July 27.—Wheat—July, $1.12%; Sept., 97@97%c.

LITTLE FAITH IN SULTAN Believe Turkish Ruler Conceded De- mand to Surmount His Present Troubles and That the Earliest Op- portunity Will Be Taken Again to Suspend the Charter of Liberty. Suspicions May Be Groundless. Constantinople, July 2'.—The mo- mentous act of the sultan of Turkey fn proclaiming the restoration of the constitution of 1876 has left the pop- ulation of Constantinople unmoved. The aspect of the city is perfectly normal and there have been no mani- festations of satisfaction of any kind. The stolid fatalism of the Moslems, who for centuries past have been ac- customed to a regime of'personal rule and who are not used to political freedom, is thought partly to explain the apathy everywhere apparent. Add- ed to this is skepticism regarding the durability of the new era promised. Furthermore, past experience and the fact that the sultan conceded the re- establishment of the constitution un: der extreme pressure, inclines the Turks to the belief that the conces- sion is intended merely to surmount the present troubles and avert the threatened disruption of the empire and that the earliest opportunity will be taken again-to suspend the charter | of liberty. Should these suspicions prove groundless the new system of govern- ment is bound to have farreaching consequences with regard to the treat- ment of the Macedonian problem. It will render foreign intervention more difficult than ever and destroy, for the time being at any rate, all hopes of a realization of the desires of some of the Balkan statés to acquire slices of the Furopean provinces of Turkey. Vilas Somewhat Improved. Madison, Wis, July 2/—Colonel William F. Vilas’ condition is some: what improved. In answer to several questions he was conscious enough to say “yes” or “no.” Dr. Phillip Fox, the attending physician, looks for a continual improvement. H ACGUSED OF THEFT OF $50,000 POUCH Negro in Custody of Postoffice Authorities. Kansas City, July 2'—Charles Sav- age, a negro, was arrested here by postofiice authorities charged with stealing a mail pouch in the Kansas City Union station on June 6 last con- taining $50,000, being sent from Los jAngeles to a New York city bank. The inspectors assert that they have positive evidence against Savage and declare their belief that he has buried the money, intending to recover it after his release from prison. Savage was taken into custody a few hours after he returned to the city. He had since the robbery vis- ited several Western cities, including { Denver. In his pocket the inspectors found a clipping from a Denver news- paper giving the calculations of a robber who had stolen a large sum of money and buried it. The man had been sent to the penitentiary for a number of years and in the story he figured it out that by serving a cer- taln number of years he would upon his release have earned $60,000 a year. Upon this the inspectors base their belief that Savidge has concealed the stolen money pending the time he was given his freedom. A few days following the Kansas City robbery Savage was arrested by the local police. He paid a lawyer $200 to defend him and he was re- leased, the judge holding that there was not sufficient evidence on which to hold the man. Savage immediately left the city and siace then evidently has traveled extensively. The post- office inspectors had information that Savage would return here and when he .appeared at a negro lodging house they arrested him. Savage surren- dered without a struggle and was taken to ‘the postoffice building. There he was put under a severe ex- amination. Aside from admitting that he had served a sentence on Mac- Neils island for a mail pouch robbery the prisoner would tell but little about himself. Entertained by the President. Oyster Bay, N. Y. July 2/—Pres- ident Roosevelt entertained half a dozen guests at luncheon. They in- cluded George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican nauonnl commit- tee; William B. Howland and Law- rence B. Abbott of the Outlook; Leigh Hunt, who has extensive concessions in Egypt, and E. H. Wells, dean of Harvard university. Mr. Sheldon’s visit was for the purpose of talking over the financial situation of the coming presidential campaign. Threatens to Split Saengerbund.
