JOHN W ILMANN Candidate for County Auditor. I hereby announce to the public my candidacy for the Reputlican re-nomination for county auditor to be voted upon at the primary election, Sept, 15. I have held the office of county auditor for the past four years and in asking for re-nomination and re-election I come before the people as one who thoroughly understands the work of this im-| portant office, | I believe in an economical ad- ministration of the affairs of the county, a just and equitable assess- ment of real and personal property, During my term of office it has been my aim to familiarize myself with the different sections of the county and their needs, and in so doing have conducted the office for the whole county and not tor any particular section. If nominated and elected I will give the duties of the office my closest personal attention, and conduct the affairs of the office in an intelligent manner. At this time I wish to thank all who have stood by me so faithfully and loyally in the past and hope 1 merit their continued support. To those whom I am notacquainted with I hope to meet you some day, I will appreciate work done for me by all who will kindly give me their support. Yours Truly, John Wilmann. Great Race for State Fair. Devotees of the “sport of kings” will have an additional incentive to watch at the races at the Minnesota State Fair, Aug. 31 Sept. 5 through the performance of Highball. In the second heat of the free-for-all trot on the Peoria track last, Fridav. when this remarkable horse went the fast- est mile ever trotted by a gelding in 2:03°3-4. This equals the Sweet Marie record, second heat made in 1907, and sets a new world’s record | in the time made by a gelding on a | race track during a race. Highball did the quarter in 29:3-4, the half in one minute flat, and the three-quarter in 1:30 3-4. He won the race in straight heats. Highball, as most horse fanciersz know, is one of the entries in the $6000 freefor-all trot announced for the first dav of the Minnesota State Fair, and he will be in one of the fastest fields ever assembled on any track in the country.

St. Paul, Aug. 20.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Shortly after noon today, Governor Johmson called the news- paper men into his private office and announced that he would accept the nomination of the state democratic convention at Minneapolisyesterday. He said, “I have given the matter my closest thought for the past twenty-four hours, and my first opinion, that a third nomination is unwise and against the principles of the party isunchanged, yet I can hardly see how I can get away from making the race without putting the party in a hole.

Twelve Thousand Wyoming Ceal Min- ers Will Go Out Sept. 1. Deadwood, S. D., Aug. 20.—Accord- ing to the statement of one of the prominent coal men in this city, who is heavily interested in Wyoming mines, there will be a great suspen- sion of work in all Wyoming coal mines shortly after Sept. 1. He said: “We have a disagreement with the unjon—the United Mine Workers of America. This involves the Union Pacific, the Sheridan, the Cambria, the Diamondville, the Kommer and many smaller companies—practically all the mines in Wyoming. What we expect is that the miners will go out on a strike. There will be no lockout. That will make about twelve thousand men idle and stop production that averages 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 tons per year.” Thirteen Injured, Six Fatally. Detroit, Mich.,, Aug. 20.—Thirteen men were seriously injured. six of them probably fatally, in the lower De- troit river when a charge of dynamite exploded urder the drill vessel De- streyer, which has been working on the new Livingstone channel.

A FARMER’S FAIR Fred M. Malzahn, Pres. W. R. Maqunzie, Sec’y WRITE the SECRETARY FOR LIST NATION'S HONOR IS AT STAKE Holland Will Not Arbitrate With Venezuela. PLAN OF ACTION ADOPTED Dutch Cabinet Holds Prolonged Ses- sion at Which the Reply of The Netherlands to President Castro s Drawn Up and Steps Taken to Meet Any Eventualities—Queen Wilhel- mina Informed of Decision Reached. The Hague, Aug. 20.—After a nine- bour session, during which the dis- pute between The Netherlands and Venezuela was canvassed exhaustively in all its phases, the cabinet dispersed shortly after midnight and Minister of Foreign Affairs Van Swinderen pro- ceeded to the royal chateau to acquaint Queen Wilhehrina with the result of the council. The terms of The Netherlands’ an- swer to the letter of President Castro of Venezuela were fully discussed and. it is stated that the actual text, as well as broad lines of action drawn up to meet any possible eventualities, were agreed upon. In diplomatic circles here the view is entertained that the present diffi- culty between Holland and Venezuela is not of a nature to be settled by arbitration and it is pointed out that the dispute is not of a private com- raercial character like the difficulties that have arisen between Venezuela and Great Britain, Germany and America. In these cases the govern- ments in question sought satisfaction for claims, but Holland has no claim against Veneznela. It is maintained here that the present question is rather one of sovereignty and national hobor, matters which are not suscepti- ble of solution by arbitration. Waiting Attitude at Present. The Netherlands government is in- clined for the present to adopt a wait- ing attitude, but it is ready to take energetic steps whenever the develop- ments of the situation demand. It has been agreed to push all nee- essary preparations in order to be ready to support an ultimatum should it be decided to forward one to Pres- ident Castro. Work will be rushed night and day at the naval dockyards to complete the preparations needed by the warships there, so that they will be in readiness to reinforce the vessels now in the Caribbean by the end of next month. In the meanwhile every effort will be made to find a pacific solution of the dispute, especially in view of the fact that Queen Wilhelmina is op: posed to resorting to war uaifil all other methods and avenues have beer tried. The Netherlands cabinet, although { it has outlined tentatively a general plan of procedure, has decided tc await the arrival here of M. de Reus, the minister who was expelled by President Castro, before coming to a definite decision and will not take the offensive unless compelled to do so by Venezuela. In the event of warlike measures it is understood that there will first be a naval demonsiration off La Guayra Subsequent actien will depend upon the result of this course.

ALLEGES HUSBAND IS A DEGENERATE Suit Filed by Mrs. Hains May Have Led fo Murder. ‘Winthrop Highlands, Mass., Aug. 20, —The solution of the murder of Will- jam B. Annis at the Bayside (L. L) Yacht club last Saturday by Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., U. S. A, who in the killing was aided by his brother, Thornton Jenkins Hains, a magazine writer, is to be found in the filing of a suit brought by Mrs. Peter C. Hains, Jr., against her husband. The papers were served upon Cap- tain Hains in New York a week ago Monday by a representative of the Wwoman's lawyer in Boston. In this suit Mrs. Hains alleges that her husband is a degenerate and charges are made of the most extraor- dinary character. At the same time the complainant demanded in her pe- tition that the case itself must be tried in open court. If this suit is ever brought to trial it would cause the greatest scandal the United States army has ever had. The suit itself would be along the lines of the exposure of the “round table” in’ Berlin, where Count zu Eu- lenberg was charged with gross un- natural conduct with other officers. The papers which were served upon Captain Hains contain what is called a complete history of the captain’s misdoings. ‘While no names are mentioned yet there are instances related which date back to the time when Captain Hains and his wife were on their honeymoon and while the captain was stationed at the army post at Fortress Monroe, New York, Aug. 20.—John W. MecIn. tyre, of counsel for Captain Hains, said that the captain’s defense will be insanity and that it will be easily proved. NEW EXPLOSIVE TESTED. Power Exceeds Anything Heretofore Used in Germany. Munich, Aug. 20.—A new high ex- plosive of a power beyond anything hitherto used in the German army was tested near here in the presence of the artillery proving commission from Berlin, representatives of the Bavarian war ministry, the imperial navy and the fortress and ordnance depart ments with what are described as sen. sational results. Three shells ex- ploded by electricity tore Krupp armor plates to pieces. The explosive is the invention of Fritz Gehre. Rich Timber Land Devastated. Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 20.—Forest fires on Vancouver island are increas- ing in every direction and the latest reports indicate that several settle rents are threatened. In Koksilah district twenty square miles are ablaze. The fate of scattered ranch ers s unknown. Several lumber camps have been wiped out. A dense pell of smoe haugs over fifty square miles.

SITUATION LESS SERIOUS Fifteen Hundred Militiamen Remain on Duty and -This Number Is Con- sidered Ample to Handle Any Trou- ble That May Occur—Early Return to Normal Conditions Anticipated by Business Interests. Springfield, IIl., Aug. 20.—Coincident Wwith the departure for their homes of the First and Fourth infantry regi- ments, which have been on riot duty here, it was announced that the Third and Fifth infantry regiments will de- part shortly. This will reduce the military force here to about fiffeen hundred men, an ample number to handle the situation, which has shown a much less serious aspect since the meeting of the special grand jury. The riots are now regarded as his- tory and business men anticipate an early resumption of the normal amount of business. The reduction of the force will save the state about $20,000 a day, it is’ stated. The national guardsmen have worked hard and ef- fective since their arrival and their personal conduct, according to officers and citizens alike, has been ex- emplary. The effect of the news that the troops had begun to depart was anx- iously watched by the state and city authorities. Since the determination of Governor Deneen to establish order at any cost was evidenced by the sum- moning of 4,200 soldiers to the city there has been a notable decrease in the mob gpirit here. At the same time threats as to what would happen when the troops left have been numerous and widespread and there is a well defined fear that the lawless individ- uals who have net yet been appre- hended may endeavor to renew the disturbance later this week.

Chicago, Aug. 20.—United States custom officials here have seized tap- estries, paintings, statuary and rare pleces of armor, valued at_$80,000, the property of Mrs. “Jack” ¥ardner of Boston, which were bought abroad for Mrs. Gardner’s palace in Back Bay, Mass. The goods, the customs offi- cers allege, were brought into this country as the “household ,200ds” of Mrs. E. Rockwell Crane Cuadbourne of this city, a friend of Mrs. Gardner, on which Chadbourne, the government officers say, placed a valuation of $8,- 000. An investigation was begun by the customs authorities and when the real value ofthe goods was discovered the tax of $80,000 was placed upon them by Collector of Customs Ames. Fines and penalties for alleged eva- sion of the customs laws were fixed at $70,000, which, it is said, has been paid. However, it is declared that $80,000 additional will have to be paid before possession of the property can be secured. Officials of the customs department have turned the case over to District Attorney Sims for further investigation. SEVENTY MEN DEAD IN MINE DISASTER Entombed by Explosion in Col- liery Near Wigan, Eng ‘Wigan, Eng., Aug. 20.—It is now be- Heved that not a single man of the seventy miners who were entombed by an explosion in the Maypole coal mine heré survived the disaster. The ventflatifig fan, which was put out of order by the explosion, Was repaired and, the mine having been cleared of gases, the regoue party again descend- ed. The sight which met the eyes was horrifying. Not far from the bot- tom of the shaft ejghteen bodies were found, all frightfully mutilated. Legs and arms had been blown off and heads battered almost beyond recog- nitiom. The management of the mine de- clares that between sixty and seventy men were under ground at the time of the explosion and that there is no hope that any one will be brought out alive. The women and children, how- ever, who remained at the pit all night, refuse to leave until the bodies of their dead are brought to the sur- face. Nothing else will convince them of the hopelessness of waiting. DYNAMITERS AT WORK. Home of Alabama Mine Contractor Blown Up.
