In this case murder is alleged to have been committed ina saloon brawl at Deer River on Christmas Eve. There is a long list of civil cases awaiting trial at Grand Rapids which will be taken up as soon as the criminal calendar is cleared. An important civil case was settled a few days ago in chambers at Grand Rapids when Judge Wright issued an order for a re-survey of part of the village of Cohasset: In making the original plat of Cohasset: the suveyor several years ago had placed one corner of the village about twenty-five feet out of the way and this has caused con- siderable controversy in regard to the limits of lots there. The case B | has been pending for nine months #and the judge’s decision will now provide a way for clearing the mat- ter up. Two large hotels, a half. dozen stores and several residences will now be placed on the proper lines. “‘Dad” Kellly Here from Laporte. C. T.

Among the cases which the State Board of Tardons considered at its session Monday and Tuesday is that of Gilbert Epgen, who was tenced from Clearwater county on July 3,.1903, to the state prison for fifteen years, for the crime of mur- der in the second degree. The crime for which. Egen was convicted was the killing of Ole Steffenson, at Alida, in 1903, being murder in the second degree. Engen and Steffenson were drinking together with a crowd in a saloon at Alida during the afternoon of June 16th, when they became involved in a quarrel, during which Engen stabbed Steffenson with a knife, ioflicting wounds from which Stef- fenson died. There is a general impression that Engen was not altogether to blame for the row and its serious results, and although he was afterwards tried and convicted, it is thought by many residents of Clearwater county that his sentence should be reduced in its severity. C. W. Scrutchin, Bemld]l’s colored attorney, appeared before the board, with the intention of having Engen’s sentence commuted or five years taken from the total of fifteen, Engen having already served more than five years. Mr. Scrutchin made an eloquent plea in behalf of Engen-and the board took the case under advise- ment. The decision will probably sen- be rendered in a week or ten days Good Clothes; Nothing Else They’re all- can’'t afford to We know Pioneer Press Was Loyal. J.-G.

SITUATION MUCH QUIETER Business Again Is Being Resumed in Constantinople, but a Majority of the Mutinous Garrison Remains on Duty Near the Parliament Building. Several Prominent Persons Slain During the Demonstration. Constantinople, April 15.—Constan- tinople is quieter and business grad- ually is being resumed. A majority of the garrison, however, still occupies a position in front of the chamber of deputies and the war office, where they await the formation of a new cabinet. The night was one of alarm. The troops celebrated the overthrow of the Young Turks by firing continuous rifle volleys. This alarmed the en- tire city. The people were ignorant of the cause of the firing and thought a fight was going on. The sultan has granted practically all the demands of the riotous troops, namely, the adoption of the Serio laws as the basis for new laws; the dismissal of the grand vizier, the min- isters of war and marine and Ahmed Riza, president of the chamber, the latter to be replaced by Ismail Kemal, provisional leader of the liberal un- ion; the removal from Constantinople of Hussein Jahid, chief editor of Ta- nin, and of Rahmi and Javid, deputies from Saloniki; the appointment of Zohrab, an influential member of the liberal union, to be vice president of the chamber of deputies, and, finally, the removal of the officers of the Sa- loniki battalions of Chausseurs. Prominent Persons Killed. The casualties resulting from the rioting include Nezim Pasha, minister of justice in the late cabinet, who was mistaken for Riza Pasha, minis- ter of marine, and killed; Riza Pasha, minister of marine, who was wound- ed, and Sadik Pasha, who was killed. There also were several casualties among the troops. The events of Tuesday surprised nobody in Constantinople. An up- heaval was expected as a result of the recent develbpments and the increas- ing dictatorial methods of the com- mittee of union and progress. The incentive to the movement appears to have emanated from the recently formed Mohammedan league. The efforts of this organization were aided by a general order from the comman- der of the First army corps insisting that the troops must fire, when so ordered by their officers, even upon theological teachers and students when these individuals participated in demonstrations. The issuance of this order inflamed the popular opinion and the soldiers, under the direction of the noncommissioned officers, revolt- ed. They seized and bound their commissjoned officers and marched to the Mosque of St. Sophia, where they volced the demands that since have been acceded to. Notwithstanding the absence of the commissioned officers the troops ob- served splendid discipline. FRENCH SOCIALISTS MEET Militant Section of the Organization in Control. St. Etienne, France, April 15.—The soclalist congress, which is now in session here, is notable chiefly for the eclipse of M. Jaures, who has been counseling moderate tactics, and the appearance of M. Guesde as the mili- tant leader of the party. M. Guesde is in favor of continuing the fight at the ballot box, but his ultimate aim is insurrection on the ground that it is impossible to dethrone capitalism by legal means. He advocates an active anti-military propaganda, especially among the teachers of the country, who should teach the future recruits to hate the army. In the course of an address M. Guesde said the proper place for the flag-was on a dunghill. The congress is considering means of interesting the peasants of France in the movement. MAY GO AFTER ANOTHER TERM Governor Hughes Determined to Se- cure Direct. Nomination Law. New York, April 15.—“Governor Hughes will be renominated a year from next fall if he cannot force the passageé of the direct nomination bill this year.” This prediction is made by Darwin R.

Thé governor is no quitter and the Repub- Hecans of this state are determined to try direct nominations.” Weston in Good Condition.

The women of Washington, de- termined to show that the littered con- dition of some of the streets is not their fault, decided some time ago to devote part of today to clearing up the stray bits of paper that are eye- sores to the residents with proper clvic pride. Accordingly, at 9 o’clock this morn. ing and later, the spectacle was pre- sented of many well dressed women in some of the finest residential dis- tricts personally picking up the pa- pers in the streets and parks near their homes. The movement was headed by the Twentieth Century club, which embraces in its member- ship many women of Washington’s best known families.

LONG PROMINENT IN MINNESOTA AFFAIRS Leonard A Rosing Dies After Lingering lliness. St. Paul, April 15.—Leonard A. Ros- ing, chairman of the state board of control and once candidate for gov- ernor on the Democratic ticket, died at St. Joseph’s hospital in this city. Mr. Rosing had been ill for several months. Last week he underwent an operation and since then has not fully LEONARD A. ROSING. regained consciousness. The opera- tion was of a serious nature, involv- ing the removal of a clot of blood from the brain. Mr. Rosing was forty-eight years of age and had been prominent in state politics for many years. In 1899 and 1900 he was private secretary for Governor Lind and in 1902 he was the Democratic candidate for governor. In 1905 he was appointed a member of the board of control, a position he still held at the time of his death. UNIQUE SPORTING EVENT Western Athletes Will Race to the Top of a 6,000-Foot Mountain. Pasadena, Cal., April 16.—Crack ath- letes from all over the West are en- tered in today's race to the top of Mount Wilson, north of this city. The urique character of the event and its great success last year have aroused much interest among the sports and others attracted by endurance con- tests and have drawn here runners desirous of making the 6,000-foot ascent in quicker time than that made by Joe King last year. There is little doubt that King’s record, 1 hour 25 minutes 30 seconds, will be broken today. Last year's race consisted of the ascent to the top of the mountain and the descent, but this year the.ascent alone will count. The descent is con: sidered too dangerous for men trying to make time. On the way up and down Mount Wilson the runners cross numerous streams and wind around canyons over 3,000 feet deep. At least thirty men will face the starter and will be sent away at inter- vals of three minutes. Only amateur athletes are eligible to enter the race. The winners will receive medals.
