Judge Pendergast reports that he and Mr. Trczyulny, together with Doctors Ward and Whitcomb, of thée Livestock Sanitary board, and Cap- tain Harris, secretary of the Soldiers’ Home, have purchased 128 acres of land, with a half-mile of shore line, on the east side of Lake Plantagnet, south of the farm owned by Sheriff A. B. Hazen. The land is covered with a fine grove of trees and is an ideal spot for an outing resort. The getlemen will plat the land and sell lots to a few outsiders. They intend to come up this summer for an outing and will have a fine clubhouse erected on the place, as well as making several other im- provements. The judge reports that he has bought a seven-room house in Ham- line since leaying his old home in Bemidji, and that he has not gone *'to hear Gipsy Smith yet, either.” The judge and Mr. Trczryulny ex- pect to return to St. Paul tomorrow morning.

JUDGE PARKER OPENS ARGUMENT ON APPEAL Another Chapter in Famous La- bor Injunction Case.. ‘Washington, April 20.—Another chapter in the famouswcase involving the alleged boycott of the Buck Stove and Range company of St. Louis by the American Federatlion of Labor was begun when the appeal from the de- cision 3f the supreme «court of the Dis- trict of Columbia, which sentenced Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison to jall for contempt of court, came up in the court of ap- peals of the District of Columbia. The case grew out of the printing of the Buck Stove and Range com- pany’s name in the “we don’t pat- ronize” list of the Federationist, the official organ of the labor organiza- tion, and the efforts, as claimed by the manufacturing concern, to boy- cott that company’s products among the members of the federation by the federation. The opening presentation of the case for the appellants was made by H. A. SIMONS, Agent. Swedback Block, Bemidfi. Judge Alton B. Parker of New York, as chief counsel, and by J. J. Dar- lington of counsel for the appellee. Messrs. Gompers and Mitchell were R S (un mm— " | Dresent throughout the argument. Reverend J. Sanaker of Minne | TWENTY-ONE HORSES BURN lowa Farmer Heavy Loser as Result of Storm.

The loss will be about $10,000. Wisconsin Town in Ashes. Janesville, Wis., April 20.—Fire de- stroyed nearly the entire town of Juda, Wis. The town has a popula- tion of 300. Love Cause of Suicide.

" T The elderly spinster in the rear of the drawing room car had no more than settled in her seat when her at- tention was attracted to a woman a little farther front who was garbed in the deepest mourning. As Miss Spinster adjusted her nose grabber glasses for a better inspection of the one in widow’s weeds she saw the conductor lean over and converse with her earnestly for several minutes. ‘When the conductor got back to her seat taking the passenger’s tickets Miss Spinster was consumed with cu- rlosity about the woman in mourning. “Conductor,” she asked in her sweet- est tones, “what’s the trouble with the lady up there in widow’s weeds?” “O%, that's Mrs. Gettem!” replied the obliging conductor. “She’s just taking her third husband out to a crematory.” A “Oh, how dreadful!” exclaimed Miss Spinster. And then in a faraway voice she added: “And just think of it! Here I am past fifty and never had a husband in { my life, while that woman up there has them to burn!”—New York Times. Strong Monosyllables. Instructors in the art of Ilterary composition usually condemn a string of monosyllables, but in the well known hymn “Lead, Kindly Light,” written by a master of the English language, you may count thirty con- secutive words of one syllable only. They offend neither the eye nor the ear. Milton often uses a series of mono- syllables. In the second book of “Par- adise Lost” we have: The fiend O'er bog or steep, through stralt, rough, dense or rare, With head, hands, wings or feet pursues his way And swims or sinks or wades or creeps or flies. Such lines are not uncommon in the book: Rocks, caves, lakes, fens, bogs, dens and shades of death. And again: Of neither sea nor shore nor air nor fire. —London Notes and Querfes. Cause of Car Sickness. W. C. Wood attributes car sickness to the nystagmus produced by looking out of the car windows. Look out of a car window and observe how rapidly the telegraph poles flit by. Each one is seen and involuntarily fol- lowed by the eye until it is opposite, when the eye shifts to the one follow- ing. This is true of near buildings. Objects farther away seem to move slower, and those very far off seem to be almost stationary until the whole landscape appears to be revolving round a common center. The un- conscious effort to take in everything produces a rapid lateral oscillation of the eyeballs, as any one can observe by watching the .25 of his fellow passengers. The cye strain is enor- mous and is the chief factor in pro- ducing car sickness. This can be proved by asking a patient who is subject to car sickness to look steadily at a mirror which is moved rapidly to and fro or tilted backward and forward. He will immediately com- plain of nausea and vertigo. The treatment consists .of advising the patient to avoid looking out of the car windows and in giving him a grain of citrated caffeine shortly before he takes the cars and repeating it every hour as long as there is any tendency to be sick. The author has been en- abled by this procedure to relieve many sufferers from car sickness.— New York Medical Journal. The Ship’s Bell Clock. In its most ordinary form the ship's bell clock is a stout, well made clock, a good timekeeper, contained in a round nickel plated case six or seven inches in diameter which {s mounted on a board that can be hung on or screwed to a wall or bulkhead. The face of the clock, the dial, is of finish- ed steel, and fts pointers are of blued steel, so that with its nickeled case the whole clock has a metallic, solid, serviceable look. Attached to a projection of the board upon which the clock is placed, out- side the clock and immediately below it, s the clock’s gong, with the ham- mers—there are two of them—brought down into it on arms extending through an opening in the clock’s case and striking on the gong’s inner side. It is a sturdy gong two or, three inches in diameter, and it sounds with a strong, clear, resolute note when the hammer strikes it. On this clock’s face you can tell the time in the usual ‘way, but the hours are struck as they are at sea on a ship’s bell.—New York Sun. Inconsi: 3 Howell —Rowell is an inconsistent fellow. Powell—That’s right: he would tell you take all the time you wanted and then have you arrested for steal- Ing his watch.—New York Press. Public Opinion. = The single snowflake—who cares for it? But a whole day of snowflakes— who does not care for that? Private opinfon is weak, but public opinion is almost omnipotent. FOUR STRUNG UP IN OKLAHOMA Alleged Murderers Lynched by Mob at Ada. BARN USED AS GALLOWS Two Hundred Avengers Organize at the Commercial Club, It Is Said, March on the Jail and Quickly Over- power the Lone Guard on Duty. Two of the Victims Well to Do Cat- tle Owners of Texas. Ada, Okla., April 20.—A mob of 200 men stormed the county jail here and after overpowering the sheriff lynched four white men. Those lynched were: J. B. Miller of Fort Worth, Tex.; B. B. Burrell of Duncan, Okla.; Jesse West and Joe Allen of Canadian, Tex. West and Allen were well to do Tex- ans and large cattle owners. The men were held on a charge of com- plicity in the murder of former Unit- ed States Marshal A. L. Bobbitt near Ada last February. Bobbitt was shot from ambush on his wxy home. The mob, it is said, was organized in the Commercial club rooms and marched to the jail. Only one man stood guard at the prison and he was quickly overpowered and the four vrisoners seized, taken to a nearby barn and hung from the rafters. The bodies were cut down six hours later. There was little excitement during the lynching. Two weeks ago the four men were placed under arrest at Fort Worth for the murder and brought to Ada for trial. Miller had his preliminary hearing last Friday and was held without bail. The authorities allege that Allen and West, who were wealthy cattlemen of Canadian, Tex., hired Miller to Kkill Bobbitt, Burrell paying Miller the money. Allen and West and Bobbitt were neighbors as ranchmen in Seminole county and the trouble is alleged to have been due to an old disagreement. Miller, one of the victims, leaves a wife in Fort Worth. He had killed six men in his time and was a com- panion of the late Pat Garrett, the famous man hunter and slayer of “Billy the Kid” and was with Garrett when the latter was killed at Las Cruces. The mob was composed of meny of the prominent citizens of the city and only a few wore masks. PATTEN CROWD IS SELLING Price of July Wheat Drops More Than | Two Cents. Chicago, April 20.—Selling attrib- uted to the “Patten crowd” and allies, although on a moderate scale, sent the price of July wheat off on the hoard of trade, the close on that op- tion being 21§ cents under the pre- vious figures. At one time July sold at $1.18%. This tempted profit taking and the consequent decline brought out stop loss orders, under which the price dropped to $1.15%. Six-cent bread seems assured in Chicago. One prominent baker has announced that he will advance the price 1 cent to that figure on May 1 and his example will be followed, 1f not preceded, by others. HUNDREDS OF BRIDGES GONE Terrific Rain Causes Heavy Damage in Michigan. Grand Rapids, Mich., April 20.— Heavy damage was done by a terrific rain storm which visited Western Michigan. Hundreds of highway bridges were washed away and miles of fences are down. Roadways are washed away and in several places the water is up to the level of the Pere Marquette tracks. The Kalamazoo and Black rivers are far out of their banks and rising. There has been heavy damage near Zeeland and Hud- sonville. MINISTER SLASHES THROAT Il Health Cause of Suicide of Mis- souri Pastor. Bolckow, Mo., April 20.—Rev. J. H. McCampbell, aged sixty years, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church here, slashed his throat with a razor. ‘When found by his wife he could not talk, but wrote a note saying he feared he would have to quit the min- istry on account of ill health 'and his family would be left in want. He died three hours later. Due to High Price of Flour. Columbus, 0., April %0.—The Co- lumbus Biscuit company has an- nounced that it has determined to close down its bread department in- definitely because of the high price of flour. The company employs forty men in its plant and has a large trade with bakeries here and in towns ad- jacent to Columbus. The department will remain closed until the price of flour comes down. Wife Held by Coroner's Jury. Muskogee, Okla., April 20.—John P. Davls, a prominent grocer of this city, was found dead in bed with a bullet wound in his head. His wife, Emma J. Davis, declares that he committed suicide, but the coroner’s jury. held her for the murder. KILLS TWO AND HIMSELF Minnesota Man Angered by Plans of Fiancee. Red Wing, Minn., April 20.—Freds Langen, aged twenty-eight, and her two-year-old baby were murdered by Ole O. Odden, Jr., of Minneola, who closed the tragedy by sending a bullet crashing through his own brain, dying several hours later. Odden was enraged bepause - the girl to whom he was engaged was about to leave the village and go to Minneapolis, where she was to be em- ployed &8s @ domestic’ and where her sister resided. Odden went to Zumbrota and learned that the woman was alone at the farmhouse of Lars H. Larson, ‘where she was employed. Procuring a revolver he drove direct to the farmhouse and, meeting the woman, opened fire. She picked up her babe, but in trying to make her.escape dropped the child on the porch and started across the fields for a nearby church. One of the bullets struck her in the neck and she fell, face downward, in the village graveyard, dying instantly. Odden then went back to the house and shot the babe between the eyes. He then turned the weapon on him- self and blew his brains out. BOLT INJURES FIVE PERSONS Half a Hundred Others In Crowd Es- cape Unharmed. Detroit, Mich., April 20.—A bolt of lightning shot down through the ves- tibule of the Methodist Episcopal church in the little hamlet of Meade, Macomb county, and although fifty persons Wwere crowded together but five were injured. Mrs. Warren Bliss was struck by.the bolt and is in a critical condition. Mrs. Bert Bliss, Perry Crawford, Colon Crawford and Rev. Holmes were all knocked down and slightly injured.
