SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00' "PER mnum Why the iremark of Joel Heat- wole that he' is* down and out in _politics>—Duluth News-Tribune, The Mankato ‘“statesman (2)” is probably just beginning to realize that the people will eventually “get”. a man who uses the “sign of the (double) cross.” Dorando and Johnny Hayes had better take a back seat. ~Mr. Eber- hardt has started on a two years’ sprint for the governorship.—Walker Pilot. It is likely that the lieutenant governor will be unable to go the route until the campaigning of next year is ended. An ‘“early bird catches the worm” (perhaps), but it is a question whether the “worm” in this instance is yet in appearance. Some of the short-distance campaign- ers will get into the game, along next winter, and the lieutenant gov- ernor will hardly have the track to himself. Rush City Post: Hon. R. C. Dunn is quietly sawing wood.” If he can stand such work in this weather he ought to pull through a hot campaign.—Duluth News Trib- une. Along toward the First of next | January, the good people of the state of Minnesota are very liable to find out that “Bob” Dunn has accumu- lated quite a pile of neatly sawed “wood”, and that his friends are more legion than ever before, and that some of the présent aspirants for the republican nomination for governor are tiring in the “home stretch.” ALL PLAYERS ARE ELIGIBLE: Open Championship Golf Tournament Begins.

A sentinel in the menagerie at Paris has had a curlous experience with one of the largest elephants. The sentinel ‘was very consclentious and always re- quested the spectators not to give the animals anything to eat, which seemed to displease the elephant in question to such an estent that he several times sprinkled the sentry’s head with water from his trunk. One day a bystander offered this particular elephant a large cake. The sentinel interfered, as usual, and the elephant promptly dis- charged in his face a violent stream of water. A general laugh ensued, but the sentinel, having calmly wiped his face, stood on one side and continued as watchful as before. Soon after- ward he found it necessary to repeat his admonition, but no sooner was this uttered than the elephant laid hold of his musket, twirled it round his trunk, trod it under his feet and did not re- store it until he had twisted it into nearly the form of a corkscrew. Then he gave a snort at the discomfited sentinel, as if to say, “Now I hope you’ll mind your own business!” A Neighing Cock. Camden says the Thames was once called the Cockney, and therefore a cockney means simply one who lives on the banks of the Thames. Wedg- wood says a cockney, or cockerney, is one pampered by city indulgenge, in contradlstinction to rustics hardened by outdoor work. There Is, however, a legend, almost too good to be true— namely, that a Loudoner who had never before slept out of sound of Bow Bells had occaslon to go into the country and was detained all night. He was much disturbed by the lowing of the cattle, the grunting of the pigs and other sounds of country life, which he could not understand, and in par- tlcular he was frightened by the crow- ing of the cock. In the morning, In response to the farmer's inquiries, he said the sound of the wild beasts had kept him awake. Just at that mo- ment the cock crowed agaln, and the Londoner said: “That’s the one! He's been neighing like that for hours!” Since then Londoners have been called cocknelghs or cockneys. After a South African Storm. ‘With the breaking of the day I went outside. The country was unrecogniza- ble. T'he land and the scenery which I had known for years were entirely al- tered. The very hills, piled high with ‘white hallstones, were a different shape, and torrents of muddy water poured down from all sides. And when the red sun rose into a clear bright ‘sky the scene of ruin and desolation 'was awful to look at. Bulldings had been lurled to the ground and were nothing more than hills of hailstones. A large dam I had ‘spent two years in making had been completely swept away. In another dam which had re- mained unbroken the halilstones had - ‘accumulated and piled themselves up over twenty fect In helght. There was not a sign of water in this huge dam, Just a huge pile of frozen haflstones.— ‘Wide World Magazine. PROGRESSIVES BADLY BEATEN Lnse Comest it Senate on Lumber Schedule. “| HOUSE -RATES lNCREASEl) Duty on ‘Sawed Lumber Advanced From $1 to $1.50 Per Thousand Feet by a Vote of 50 to 28 After Several Amendments Intended to Lower the Committee’s: Recommendation Had Been Defeated. ‘Washington, June 24—Without a sign of a speech the senate began voting on the lumber schedule as soon as a quorum had been procured. ‘Whether due to the hot weather or to exhaustion of the orators from other causes the change was accepted as a good omen by those who are anxious to crowd the tariff bill to final action and have the session come to an end. The first vote was on an amendment by Senator McCumber, proposing a rate of $1 per thousand on sawed lum- ber instead of the rate decided upon by the finance committee, which was $1.50 per thousand. The committee was sustained, 44 to 24. Of those vot- SOPYRIGHT, CLIREDINST WASH.D.G PORTER JAMES M'CUMBER. ing for a lower duty ten only were Democrats—Bankhead, Clay, Davis, Gore, Hughes, Johnston, McLaurin, Overman, Paynter and Tillman. The Republicans who voted in support of the amendment were Beveridge, Bris- tow, Brown, Burkett, Burton, Carter, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins, Curtis, Gamble, La Follette, McCumber and Nelson. The Democrats voting against the amendment were Bacon, Bailey, Chamberlain, Fletcher, Foster, Martin, Money, Simmons, Smith of Maryland, Tallaferro and Taylor. All Amendments Meet Like Fate. Insisting that the differentials on planed or finished lumber provided by the finance committee were unneces- sarily high Mr. McCumber offered an amendment reducing them 33% per cent and reducing the duty on sawed lumber to $1.25 a thousand feet. Mr. McCumber’s amendment was rejected by 30 to 49. ‘Without loss of time the vote was then taken on the main proposition, the finance committee’s amendment plpcing a duty of $1.50 on sawed lum- ber, with differentials on finished lum- ber. The committee won by the large mafjority of 50 to 28. In quick successfon several other paragraphs of the lumber schedule were. agreed to. By amendments of- fered by Mr. Aldrich and agreed to by the senate the duty on clapboards was increased from $1 to $1.50 per thousand; on laths from 20 to 25 cents, per thousand pleces and on shingles from 30 to 50 cents. From the beginning of the session there has been a decided contest over the lumber rate and one of the hard- est fights made by the Northwestern spnators had been for free Iumber. Ih the house the reformers succeeded reducing the Dingley law rate from 2 to 1. They continued their efforts In the senate, but finding themselves unable to make any impression there in the interest of free lumber they would have been willing to accept the house rate. So stiff, however, was the sentiment against them that they succeeded only in getting a reduction of 25 per cent from the Dingley duty. The majority agalnst any reduction, @s shown by the vote, Indicates not only that the committee’s schedule will remain unchanged in the senate, but that the sentiment for a pro- nounced duty is so strong there that it will be dificult to change the sen- ate rate in conference. FIGHT MAY OCCUR IN LONDON Johnson and Kaufman Said to Have Made New Deal. London, June 24.—Behind the an- pouncement that Willlam A. Brady, the American theatrical manager, is arranging for a sportive week to be called the world’s Olymplad for pro- fessionals, with the London Olympia a8 its scene next month, is said to lie a scheme to decide the pugilistic championship of the world, a match having been made between Jack John- son and Al Kaufman for a fight to a finish. PROTEST AGAINST 'BUDGET Prominent Englishmen Attend Meet- Ing in London. London, June 24—Supporting the letter protesting against the provisions of the budget signed by nearly forty London' bankers” and merchants and sent to Premier Asquith May 14 there was a great meeting in the city at which it was resolved:that the “main proposals ‘of ‘the budget ‘weaken se- curity in all private property, discour- age enterprise and thrift and would prove - seriously. Anjurious _ to the|. commerce and Industry of the coun- try.” The gathering, which numbered nearly 1,000 persons, was thoroughly representative of all phases of city life. It was also wholly nonpolitical and many of the most prominent men present were radicals. Lord Roths- child presided. LEADER OF MUTINY KILLED Pursuit of Rebel Constabulary Contin- ues in Philippines. Manila, June 24—According to news recelved in this city Lieutenant Noble, with a company of the Twenty- third constabulary, struck part of the Davao mutineers on the 18th and Kkilled ‘Sergeant Academia, leader of the mutiny, in the ensuing fight. Ser- geant Hewson of the American forces, who killed the mutineer. chief, was wounded during the skirmish. The pursuit of the mutineers, Who have divided into two bands, contin- ues and five of the rebels have been captured at various points, leaving six- teen, two of whom are wounded, to be accounted for. NO FURTHER ARRESTS IN THE SIGEL GASE Leon’s Accuser Says He Does Not Know His Hiding Place. New York, June 24—If the state- ment made by Chung Sin accusing Leon Ling of having killed Elsie Sigel has given the authorities any tangible clue to the hiding place of Leon the police have not made it known and it has resulted in no arrests. .In the maze of conflicting stories told by Chung, and even after he apparently gave in under incessant accusations and questions of the police, Chung is quoted as asserting that he does not know where T.eon fled after tying Miss Sigel’s body in the trunk, although he admitted giving Leon the larger part of $260 which Chung had borrowed from Chu Gain. The renewed activity of the police during and after Chung’s statement might indicate, however, that he told a great deal more about Leon than the police have allowed to become public. There was much telegraphing about the country by the police follow- Ing Chung's story that he saw Leon strangling the woman. Chung’s reluctance in telling the facts, his evident first intention to deny that he knew anything at all about the murder and his extraor- dinary indifference as to the terrible fate of the young woman all convince the police that he has by no means told all he knows about the murder. HAD LIVED ON RAW POTATOES Texas Family Rescued After Two Weeks' Imprisonment. Galveston, Tex., June 24.—Charles Dilsen of Brown county, his wife and ten-year-old daughter were rescued from a storm cellar where for thirteen days they had been imprisoned. They were almost famished when found and had lived on raw' potatoes during their terrible experience in the almost air tight compartment. The storm which swept over Brown county two weeks ago wrecked the Dilsen’ home and moved the house from its site about fifty feet, planting it over the storm cellar and blocking off the only exit from the cave. FLOOR COVERED WITH MONEY Thousand Dollars in Notés Found Be- neath Carpet. Sperry, Ia., June 24—The adminis-| trators of the valuable estate of Mrs. Elizabeth Farrier of this place took up the carpet in the parlor and found the floor under it almost covered with bank notes. Nearly $1,000 was thus discovered. Other sums were found about the house. An old organ was a favorite hiding place. In fact, the house was fairly lined with cash and the administrators are still searching and finding it. Mrs. Farrier did not believe in banks and secreted her money about the house, where she could watch it. THREATEN INTERNAL PEACE Disturbing Factors Again Arise in Morocco. - Tangier, Morocco, June 24.—Advices received here from Fez indicate that the internal peace of Morocco is again threatened by the depredations of the rebel, Roghi, to whom a large number of the tribes are reported as swearing allegiance. Another factor is -the series of raids conducted by the sul- tan’s rebellious brother, Mulai Kebir, ‘who, at the head of the Zennour tribes- men, is marching on Mequinez. The sultan has organized a flying column of 2,000 men to pursue Roghi, but it is feared that this force will de- sert to the rebels. The defenses of Fez have been strengthened and the European residents are preparing to flee at a moment’s notice. NUMBER OF TOWNS SHAKEN Severe Earthquake Shock Occurs in California. Grass Valley, Cal, June 24—The most severe earthquake shock experi- enced here in several vears occurred at 11:25 p. m. A second and lighter shock came at 11:49. Reports from Marysville, Nevada City, Chico and Colfax say that these towns were ‘also shaken. No damage has been reported. Open Verdict in Binkley Case. Chicago, June 24.—An open verdict was returned by a coromer’s jury in the inquest over the hody of Dr. John T.
