Ole Sageng, stats senator from Ottertail county, who, asan inde- pendent candidate for congress, is opposing Hon. Halvor Steenerson for re-election as congressman from this (the Ninth) district, spoke in| the city last evening to a fair-sized audience. Mr. Sageng arrived in the city on the noon G. N. train from the west and was met at the depot by several old-time friends and a dele-| gation of democrats, headed by L. F. Johnson, chairman of the demo- cratic county committee. Last evening the Bemidji band played several selections on “the street and attracted a fair crowd to the City Hall, where Mr. Sageng was to speak. L. F. Johnson acted as ‘spokes- man, and in a few well chosen words introduced the senator, re- ferring to the latter’s work in the last legislature relative to the normal school measure. Senator Sageng is a fair speaker, and he was well received, his nuique personality having been heralded in this community prior to his arival here. The senator left here last night for Manohman, where he will deliver an address tonight, Frank Lyon in Town. Frank Lyon, the veteran home- steader who owns valuable land at the mouth of the Tamarac river, on the east shore of upper Red Lake, came down from his home this morning by way of Kelliher and spent the day in the city, beinga witness in a contest case which was held before Clerk of Court Rhoda. Mr. Lyon is one —of those big- hearted residents of the northern pines who take great pleasure in caring for ' wayfarers, who come his way; and his home at the mouth of the Tamarac is always supplied with a latchstring on the outside, where visitors ‘who conduct themselves properly are always welcome. Mr. Lyon has ‘many friends in Bemidji and in every other part of this country. Although he is well advanced in years, and is on the tobaggon side of life towards the three score and ten mile post, he | bears his years very well and is still hale and hearty and can tramp the woods with the best of ’em.

It is the intention of the pro- moters of the dance to make it a very enjoyable affair. The Bemidji orchestra will furn- ish music and every attention will be given to the dancers. All who can should attend this ball, as a good time is assured. Pay Your Taxes.

Now is the time to pay up and thereby 1nsure - yourself against being obliged topay a big bonus for the privelege of keeping your tax monev a few days. Do it now. Aid Society to Meet Wednesday.

PREPARING FOR DEFENSE In Anticipation of a Naval Demonstra: tion by The Netherlands Modern Guns Have Been Forts Near La Guayra—Venezuelan President Makes Proposal for Ami- cable Settlement. Caracas, Venezuela, Oct. 27.—Pres- ident Castro, in his answer to the sec- ond Netherlands note, has declined to revoke his decree of May 14 prohib- iting the transhipment of goods for Venezuelan ports at Curacao, which has been so obnoxious to the people of the island. The president expresses surprise that The Netherlands should ask for the revocation of this decree after acknowledging Venezuela’s right Continuing he asks The Netherlands to send a confidential agent to Caracas to arrange the terms of an amicable settlement of the dif’ flculties between the two govern: ments. The chief of the artillery branch of the Venezuelan army has completed the preparations for the defense of La Guayra. In anticipation of a naval demonstration by Holland before that port on Nov. 1 shells have been dis* tributed to all the modern guns in- stalled in the forts on the mountain side above La Guayra. President Castro’s health is still del- fcate and causes much anxiety to his friends. The Netherlands government, in its second communication to Venezuela, said: “The revocation of the decree of May 14 is demanded in the most ener- getic manner and the government of Venezuela must from this moment and without delay fulfill the protocol of 1894 and not prolong the intolerable state of affairs which it has created by the decree of May 14. “It is only this revocation which can confirm, as an accomplished fact, the assurance from your excellency that the personal fault committed by the minister resident (M. de Reus) has not altered the good relations so happily existing between the two na- tions and that Venezuela also desires to maintain them on the most ami- cable basis.” MANY ARRESTS MADE.

Governors of several states of the South have approved of a suggestion of Governor Patterson that a confer- ence of the executives of the different states be held and plans devised whereby they can act in concert in an effort to locally destroy the night rider organization.

SAYS ROOSEVELT HAS | CHANGED HIS VIEWS Samuel Gompers’ Reply to Let- ter of President, ‘Washington, Oct. 27.—Replying to President Koosevelt’s letter to Senator Knox in reference to the application of the writ of injunctiion in labor dis- butes Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, se- verely arraigos the president for what he terms “a change of position of at least apparent friendship to bitter, in- defensible antagonism.” “It has been my pleasure,” Mr. Gompers says, “to have oft had the privilege of discussing with President Roosevelt a number of the funda-| mental questions of right, justice and moral and social uplift. Included in these Jiscussions were the invasions of personal rights and human liberty by the cecurts in the injunction abuse. It is true that the president has not always fully agreed with my conten- tlons, but he has never, until the pub- Heation of his latest utterance, hinted, much less charged, that anything that he advocated was lawless, unfeeling, despotic, brutal or wicked and yet the rights for. which the workers of our country contend, and which as| best I can I defend and advocate, have been as well known to him dur- ing the past several years as they are when he now so unjustifiedly un- dertakes to misrepresent my work, my motives, my law-abiding citizen- ship. Surely that opinion was not al- ways entertained by the president.” ROOSEVELT COMES BACK. Makes Prompt Reply to Gompers' An- swer to Letter. ‘Washington, Oct. 27.—When shown the reply of Mr. Gompers Secretary Loeb authorized the following state- ment: “Mr. Gompers quotes from the pres- ident’s correspondence with him about George W. Alger’s book, ‘Moral Over- strain’ The president has distributed copies of that book to judges, labor leaders and others and he now hon- estly wishes that Mr. Gompers would read this same Mr. Alger's admirable magazine article on ‘Taft and Labor,’ printed last month. It is the most effective exposure of Mr. Gompers’ po- sition that has been produced and ever since its appearance the presi- dent has been in close touch with Mr. Alger on this whole injunction mat- | ter.” CANDIDATE DIES SUDDENLY Strenuous Campaigning Believed to | Be the Cause. i Appleton, Wis, Oct. 27.—Death robbed the Democratic county ticket of its candidate for sheriff when Ju- lius Kuelne, mayor of Kaukauna, dropped dead in an interurban car be- tween Appleton and' Kaukauna. Mayor Kuehne and several of his Democratic friends had just completed a long walk in the country. Although he had been in robust health it is belleved that two weeks’ strenuous campaigning undermined Mr. Kuehne's constitution. Jealousy Cause of Murder., Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 27.—Because he thought she intended to break her en- gagement to marry him Ed Hager, aged forty-two, shot and instantly killed Mrs, Elizabeth May James, aged forty-four, in the presence of her nine- teen-year-old daughter.
