Minn., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM PUT YOUR SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL. As will be seen by notices in the Jocal columns of the Pioneer, a reg- ular meeting of the Bemidji Com- mercial club will beheld this evening; and a meeting of the Beltrami County Agricultural association has been called for the same hour and at the same place. It is probably just as well that both meetings have been called for the same time, as there is joint work for the two organizations, if we are to perpetuate our county fair and give that enterprise the support it deserves. Last year, through the efforts of Secretary Mackenzie and President Malzahn, the county fair was a success, in encouraging the _farmers along the line of raising better pro- ducts and engaging more extensively in dairying, although there were no big horse races or large outlay of money for big attractions. The fair terminated in a satisfactory manner; all premiums were paid,and the farmers were especially well pleased. W. R. Mackenzie has tendered his resignation as secretary of the fair association, having become dis- gusted with the apparent indiffer- ence exhibited by local business men in meetings which have been called recently, and which but few attended, making it necessary to postpone the gatherings because of lack of interest. It is hoped that enough will attend tonight’s meeting to make it possible to elect officers; and along this line, Secretary Mackenzie should, by all means, be retained and given all possible en- couragement, as he is by far the most efficient person who has served in that trying office. Turn out to tonight’s meeting of the commercial club and show that you are interested in movements for the general good of all. CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G, Rutledge.] Just a few fashion notes: Just asa man gets a woman’s waist line comfortably located, she moves it. As feminine fashions come snd go, it is permitted mere man to rejoice that now as always a dress suit is a dress suit. It might be that men would take more interest in their fashions if it were necessary to have someone help them get into their clothes. It is time for us husbands to get together and form a union, and stand together for an eight-hour law on the 500-button dress. Gradually, but inevitably, the peekaboo is pushing the pony coat out of the limelight. A long face gathers few friends. When a woman takes conceit out of a man she adds to her own. No, gentle reader, it is not the bad eggs that make tough chick- ens. Putting in a little more than you take out will eventually fill your purse. There is said to be a large tract of land about the south pole. And no land men in sight! One of the ambitions of the aver- age man is to do-others that he has been done by. (Nothing personal in this.) AIDED BY MAN HE ROBBED Converted Burglar Given Chance to Start Life Anew. Madison, Wis,, April 14—To save bim from going insane over religion Knolan R. Whiteside, who has served one year out of a three years’ sen- tence in Waupun for burglary, prob- ably will be pardoned by Governor Davidson within a few days. ‘Whiteside is the man who a year ago was converted in a Minneapolis mission and confessed that five years ago he, with another man, looted the home of L. M. Hanks, a Madison bank- er, of $700 worth of jewelry and plate. He was taken to Madison within twen- ty-four hours after his confession and Was sentenced to three years in Wau- pun. District Attorney Mason and Mr. Hanks favor granting Whiteside his freedom and Mr. Hanks is willing to donate a few acres of land in North- ern Wisconsin that the one time bur- glar may start life anew. 'CARLSON STOCK. “UBILL IS KLLED House Indefinitely Postpones w the Measura, ? — HELD TO BE TOO STRINGENT Opponents of the Bill Feared It Would Hamper Legitimate Business Ware It Enacted Into Law—Nolan’s Telephone Tax Bill Passed by the House—Indian Fighters to Be Pen- sioned. St. Paul, Apr! 13.—Speeches by the Duluth members and others resulted in the killing in the house of Repre- sentative C. J. Carlson’s bill regulat- ing the sale of mining and oil stocks. His bill was intended to prevent the sale of worthless stocks and required all mining companies which sold stocks to file with the state officers state- ments showing the value of their hold- ings. Representative R. F. Grant of Du- luth said that while the object aimed at was a worthy one the bill would prevent the selling and buying of le- gitimate stocks in the state. For in- stance, he said, where a corporation is not selling its stock, persons holding the stock could not sell it to another party or through a broker unless they could make the corporation file a re- rort showing every piece of land it owned, which they would most likely not do. He moved the indefinite postponement of the bill. C. A. Congdon joined his colleague in saying that the bill would stop all sale of stock, whether good or bad, and D. A. Stuart said it would not even permit the administrator of an es- tate to sell stock which the deceased might have had. J. F. Rosenwald claimed that the bill would not affect honest trans- atlons, and said that it provided pub- licity, which was much desired. Grant’s motion carried, 45 to 86. Telephone Tax Bill Passed. W. A. Nolan’s bill providing that telephone companies shall pay 3 per cent gross earnings tax on the state’s proportion of interstate business, in addition to the present 3 per cent on intrastate business, passed the house. The house also passed J. F. Rosen- wald’s bill providing an 8 per cent tax on the earnings of freight line companies. Senator Wright’s bill to pension citizen soldiers who participated in the defense against the Indian out- break in 1862 passed the house. Those injured in the defense were taken care of in a bill passed in 1905 and a bill to take care of the others passed in 1907 and was vetoed by the gov- ernor. It is stated that this bill is more carefully drawn so that it will only take care of a limited number who did worthy service and are needy. It will also take care of a few of the widows of these citizen soldiers who are in need. The house killed A. K. Ware’s bill prohibiting brewers from owning or being interested in saloons. The bill had been sent to the judiclary com- mittee for an opinion on its constu- tionality, and it reported the bill un- constitutional. J. A. Graham’s bill to establish dis- trict or county asylums for the care of the chronic insane passed the house by a vote of 63 to 34. Under the terms of the bill any county may es- tablish such an asylum or two or more counties may unite in establishing the Institution and when it is established the state is to allow them $3 a week for the patients cared for. Compromise Hotel Bill Passed. The compromise hotel bill drawn by the public health committee of the house passed the house after Elmer Adams had amended it, so as to in- clude restaurants among those to be regulated by the state board of health. L. H. Johnson, who introduced a bill satisfactory to the traveling men, which made minute regulations for the hotels, said the bill was satisfac- tory to them, and J. A. Gates said it was satisfactory to the hotel men also. The bill leaves it to the state board of health to prescribe rules governing the sanitary conditions of hotels and the safety of guests and delegates the enforcement of the rules to the state dairy and food commission. The senate in committee of the whole recommended for passage the house bill providing for the submis- sion of a constitutional amendment permitting the levying of a tenth of a mill tax for buying land for reforstra- tion purposes. The senate in committee of the whole recommended that the open sea- son for chickens be- from Sept. 7 to Nov. 7 instead of Sept. 1 to Nov. 1, and for ducks from Sept. 7 to Dec. 1, instead of Sept. 1 to Dec. 1. This will make the seasons the same in Minnesota and North Dakota. The season in South Dakota opens three days later. Senator Dale’s bill extending to pri- vate schools the privilege of the state high school board examinations passed the house. At present pupils of such schools may take these examinations” when they are held at the state schools, but under this bill the ques- tlon papers may be sent to the private schools and examinations written there. MRS. SAMPSON IS ACQUITTED Held Not Guilty of the Murder of Her Husband.. Lyons, N. Y., April 1 /—Mrs. Geor- gla Allyn Sampson, the young woman who has been on trial for her life here on the charge that she had shot and killed her husband, Harry Sampson, was acquitted by the jury and was immediately given her freedom. Mrs. Sampson was trembling per- ceptibly when the jury announced its verdict, but she recovered -her_c: cdm Rheumatisn’ More than nine out of every ten cases of rheumatism are simply rheumatism of -the muscles, due to cold or damp, or chronic rheumatism. - In such cases no internal treat- ment is required.

I slaved for him, raised chickens to help him, raked hay with him to save expenses and I loved him more than my life. His memory is as dear to me today as anything I have left on earth.” PARIS CORRESPONDENT IN THE ANANIAS GLUB Roosevelt Brands Irterview an Impudent Fabrication. Paris, April 1.—Theodore Roose- velt and a cor pondent of Le Jour- nal are engaged in a controversy re- garding the veracity of the correspond- ent. Le Journal sent its representa- tive to Naples to see Mr. Roosevelt and subsequently the paper published a long interview with the former pres- ident of the United States, which was widely copied. Upon arrival at Port Said last Friday Mr. Roosevelt sent a cablegram to a Paris paper saying that he had given no such interview. This was published together with the assertion of the correspondent that he talked half an hour with Mr. Roose- velt and that the text of the inter- view as given was strictly accurate. This denial coming to the eye of Mr. Roosevelt at Suez he has again cabled Paris reiterating ~his denial and characterizing the interview as “an impudent fabrication without a particle of foundation.” He says also that he never saw the correspondent of Le Journal. The correspondent has replied with a new affirmation of the truth of the interview and declares that he is pre- pared to bring further proof of his veracity. {RIBUTE TO DEAD OFFICER Funeral of Lieutenant Petrosino at New York City. New York, April 1)—The funeral of Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino of the New York police department, who was assassinated while engaged in special service in Palermo, Sicily, was made the occasion for a remarkable tribute. The police department, including a number of its officials, many Itallan societies and prominent citizens of that nationality united in expressing the gratitude of New York city for Petrosino’s self-sacrifice in his work and sorrow because of the untimely ending of his career at the moment when he was believed to be engaged in his most important service to thii city and country. Twenty-five policemen were sta- tioned in front of the Petrosino home and fifty detectives were on duty in the yards and on the roofs of that and adjoining buildings. Four hundred and fifty policemen, including many dressed in plain clothes, were as- signed to guard the funeral procession on its way from Lafayette street to St. Patrick’s cathedral and from the cathedral to Calvary cemetery on Long Island. Ice Jam at Niagara Fails. Niagara Falls, N Y., April 13.—The ice jam in the gorge remains intact, hut above the Lewiston bridge the water has fallen about two feet. The high speed of the water has worn sev- eral large gaps in -the jam. With calm weather no further serious dam- age is anticipated. Women and Children Perish. Lima, Peru, April 13.—Fire that broke out in a church at Huacho dur- ing services threw the congregation into a panic and resulted in a stam- pede for the doors, during which sev- eral women and children were suffo- cated. { GONSTANTINOPLE Outbreak of Revolutionary Character Occurs. TROOPS IN OPEN MUTINY Préceed Through the Streets of the City to the Parliament. Building, Where They Demand the Dismissal of the Grand Vizier, the President of the Chamber and the Minister of War—Cabinet Has Resigned. Constantinople, April 14.—Serious disturbances of a revolutionary char- acter have broken out here. Two bat- talions of troops quartered in the min- istry of war marched out at dawn, Jeaded by their officers, and proceed- ed to the Mosque of St. Sophia, from which point they surrounded the building of parliament. They demand the dismissal of the grand vizier, the president of the chamber and the min- ister of war. Panic has seized the people of Constantinople and all through the city shops are being hur- riedly closed. The cabinet has resigned and their resignations have been accepted. It is reported that Kaimil Pasha, the { former grand vizier, has been charged with the formation of a new cabinet. The present grand vizier of Turkey is Hilmi Pasha. He was appointed to this office on Feb. 14 in succession to Kiamil Pasha. Hilmi Pasha was formerly minister of the interior and before holding this office he served as inspector general of Macedonia. Ali Riza Pasha is min- ister of war and marine and is grand master of artillery. These and the other changes in the cabinet that took place in February showed the abso- lute control of the political situation by the Young Turks party, or com- mittee of union and progress, which virtually imposed on the sultan a min- istry of its own nominees. The committee on Feb. 14 publicly repudiated any intention to overthrow the sultan or to install a military dic- tatorship, but the crisis and its out- come was then regarded as not prom- ising well for the stability of the throne or the success of parliamentary government. It has been a guestion how the moderate elements of the empire would regard this assumption of absolute power by an irresponsible committee. The committee of union and prog- ress consistently opposed .Kaimil Pasha, Hilmi Pasha’s predecessor. It suspected him of being too considerate of palace influences and complained of his slowness in conducting the ne- gotiations with Austria-Hungary and B\flgnr)a. MRS. HAINS MAY TAKE STAND Expected to Testify Against Husband at Coming Trial. New York, April 13—Mrs. Claudia Hains, wife of Captain Peter C.

District Attorney Dewitt of Queens county said that he had had a very satisfactory talk with Mrs. Hains in Boston. Tt is believed the question as to whether she will testify depends upon the advice of her counsel. 1 GIRL REFUSED TO MARRY HIM West Virginian Accused of Trying. to Cremate Her. * ‘Wheeling, W.
