SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM ASSOCIATION CAN DO MUCH GOOD. E. J. Courtright of the Bertha Headlight, who is secretary of the Great Northern Editorial association, says of the recent meeting of the editors who are members of the ‘bunch:” “The first business meeting of the Great Northern Editorial Asso- ciation held at Wadena last Friday was very successful though not largely attended. The success of the meeting was due in’ large meas- ure to the hearty co-operation of Editor Eastman, of the Pioneer Journal, his office force and many prominent members of Wadena’s Commercial Club, all of whom cer- tainly showed the visitors the glad hand. “But apart from the social features of the occasion the members became cognizant of the fact that there is important work to be done that lies within the legitimate province of such an organization to perform. While affording its members an op- portunity to cultivate a closer per- sonalacquaintance, its ultimate effect will be to bring the various communities represented into closer relation with each other. This will lead to con- certed action for the common wel- fare and as the years roll by will. be helpful to all concerned. The as- sociation has a splendid work to do and with right management should survive long after 30’ has been struck for the men who founded it.” Fatal Boarding House Fire.

BANK FAILURE DUE __ TO DEFALGATION Arrest of Cashier Follows Dis- covery of Shorfage. ‘Washington, Dec. 17.—A defalcation of $85,000 has been discovered in the First National bank of Somersworth, N. H. Fred M. Varney, the cashier of the bank, has been arrested and the board of directors has asked the bank examiner to take possession of the institution with a view to voluntary liquidation. This information was re- ported to the comptroller of the cur- rency by the bank examiner for that district. The examiner says the bank has an undivided profit account of $25,000 and he considers the institu- tion solvent, but the board of direc- tors declare they are unable to re- store the impairment of capital. The capital of the bank is $100,000 and its deposits under $200,000. BEACH HARGIS ON TRIAL| Members of Family Appear on Both Sides of Case. Irvine, Ky., Dec. 17.—The trial of Beach Hargis, charged with the mur- der last February-at Jackson, Ky., of his father, Judge James Hargis, was called here with both sides ready. Members of the Hargis family, which has been one of the noted feud sources in the Kentucky mountains, are on both sides of the case. The wife of Judge Hargis is using the money her husband left with which to defend the patricide. Her brother, W. Floyd Byrd, is assisting the prosecution. The murder, which occurred in the store of Judge Hargis in the county seat of Breathitt county, was the out- come of much trouble between father and son. Beach, who is twenty-three years old, is rightfully named Beauchamp, had, it is said, for sev- eral years been wayward and his father had disciplined him, some stories being that he had dragged the boy through the strects and beaten him. The mother protected the boy and supplied hrm with money. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat. Minneapolis, Dec. 16.—Wheat—Dec., $1.06%; May, $1.09.

RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED Committee Ordered to Make a Thor- ough Inquiry Into That Portion of His Annual Message and to Report What Action, if Any, Should Be Taken—Language Referred to as a “Wanton and Gross Insult.” Washington, Dec. 17.—Senator Al- drich has introduced a resolution di- recting the committee on appropria- tions to consider the portion of the president’s annual message dealing with the secret service. The resolution calls upon the com- ‘mittee to make a thorough inquiry into the subject by a sub-committee or otherwise. The committee is given authority to sit during the recess of congress and to swear witnesses. Senator Culberson said he had no objection to the resolution, but said it ‘was not positive enough in its terms and offered a substitute, which was read to the senate. Mr. Aldrich thought the substitute covered the same ground as his own. The two resolutions were referred to the committee to audit and control the contingent. expenses of the senate and Mr. Kean, chairman of that com- mittee, at once arose and reported back favorahly the Aldrich resolution. Mr. Kean also asked that his commit- tee be discharged from the further consideration of the Culberson resolu- tion and moved that action be taken at once on the Aldrich resolution. Mr. Bailey referred to the presi- dent's message as the most “wanton and gross insult ever given anybody in the world.” Senator Tillman said that if the president implied the members of the senate and house as rascals who de- serve to be in the penitentiary “we ought to assert our manhood and say it is not so.” Hale Counsels Moderation. Senator Hale counselled careful, dignified proceedings. He thought that in any event the committee on appropriations would take up the whole question. Senator Bailey then said he would not ask for an amend- ment as to the resolution reported. Senator Culberson said he had in- tended his resolution should be adopt- ed as a part of the Aldrich resolution. He said that in order that “the insult might be understood and kept in the public mind, as well as in the mind of the senate,” he had incorporated the president’s language in the reso- lution itself. After the Aldrich and Culberson resolutions had been before the sen- | ate a brief time Republican and Dem- ocratic leaders got together and agreed upon a compromise. This pro- vides for the adoption of the ‘Aldrich resolution, with the addition of the provision in the Culberson resolution requiring the appropriations commit- tee to report “what action, if any, the senate should take with reference to the message.” Senator Crane, from the committee on contingent expenses, reported this resolution to the senate and it was adopted without division. AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN Secretary Root Explains Matfer to Senate Committee. ‘Washington, .Dec. 17.—Secretary Root, voluntarily appearing before the senate committee on foreign rela- tions, pointed out that the only obliga- tion upon either party to the entente between the United States and Japan relating to the maintenance of Chi- nese integrity is that they shall con- sult with each other before undertak- ing any action concerning Chinese af- fairs and that, therefore, the agree- ment does not assume the character of a treaty. He cited precedents for the executive laying down a policy concerning foreign affairs. Demo- cratic members of the committee pointed out that the only issue is whether the understanding goes to the extent of making a treaty neces- sary. If no action is taken by the committee the whole matter will re- main as negotiated by the secretary of state. The question will be dis- cussed by the committee later. Re- publican members of the committee are united in supporting Mr. Root’s position and some Democratic mem- bers also favor non-action by the committee. Says Tariff Benefits Workman. ‘Washington, Dec. 17. — Edward Brush, vice president of the Amer- fcan Smelting and Refining company, testified before the house ways and means committee regarding the lead schedule of the tariff. He claimed that the duty on lead is for the ben- efit of the miner, but also said that there would not be any lead produced in this country if the tariff is taken off. House Defeats Amendment. ‘Washington, Dec. 17.—The house defeated, by 89 to 103, the Garrett amendment to the penal code bill penalizing the transmission by mail of any advertisement or information having reference to dealings in fu- tures -where the delivery of the art- icle bought cannot be made. General Booth Operated On. London, Dec. 17.—General William Booth, commander-in-chief of the Sal- vation Army, was operated on for cataract and the doctors are hopeful that he will completely recover his sight. - The general declined the use of an anaesthetic and cocaine only was employed. e S MR P R el O VR TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY, reful money 8l 2') E, W.GRO Esfinlmnhmemhhox 2c.
