SUESCHIPTION---SSOO PER ANNUM THE “LESSEE,” AND “BRAINS” If the brains of the whole Pio- neer editorial staff could be rolled into one solid mass, 1t could easily be balanced on the sharp end of a pin—and it need not be a coupling pin, either.—Bemidji Sentinel. It has not been necessary, by the way, for the relatives of any member of the Pioneer editorial staff to send us away in the care of an attendant to receive treatment at a sanitarium to remove “‘water” (or some other stronger liquid) from the brain, in order that we mightearn our daily bread and cease to be a source of disgrace and sorrow to our own flesh and blood. If the possession of a fairly well- trained voice and a strut akin to what the proprietor of the earth would assume constitutes the pres- ence of brains, then we plead guilty to having none, and give the palm to the lessee of the Sentinel, whose checkered career would outshine a crazy quilt. It often happens that a lack of ability, coupled with a jealous mind and covetous disposition, is tempor- arily covered up by a' pompous bear- ing and “‘gift of gab,” but true abil- ity and merits are recognized these days, and paid for, and sooner or later the public “gets on” to the man who has always born the repu- tation of being a shirker and untrust- worthy, and a burden to his kin. SOME MORE “S00” RUMORS. The International Falls Echo has discovered that the Soo will run its newest extension from Bena to the boundary town, and says: “It is now believed that the Soo will build from Bena to International Falls, and it may be said to be an assured tact that the road will be running trains in and out of this town before the snow flies next year.” This is about the limit as to where the Duluth-Thief River Falls extension will be built, unless there should be a rumor to the effect that the engineers were surveying Red lake, with a view of trestling the thirty or forty miles of water, with a direct air-line from the head of the lakes to Thief River Falls. Next! CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] Just a few timely suggestions to the amateur gardner. Now is the time to spread chopped chickweed over your egg plant bed. The Cochin China egg plant is ready to hatch. Train hot watermelon plants over the bed if you want hard- boiled egg plant. The glare of the summer sun is trying on the eyes of white potatoes. Remove a few of the potatoesfrom the hill and have them examined by a competent occulist. Cross-eyed potatoes do not look well and are poor sellers. If you do not care for asparagus tips, turn a Pullman porter loose in the garden. He will remove all the “tips” with a whisk broom. If you have had the foresight to plant horse radish alongside your vegeta' le oysters you will soon be able to pluck some appetizing oyster cocktails. Have your tinner look over your crop of canned tomatoes. The solder should now be appearing on the lids, and the labels should soon provide a bright bit of color in the garden. BRIDE TAKEN BY PARENTS Wife of Few Hours Speeding Across Continent. Bakersfleld, Cal,, July 1').—Missing his bride of a few hours only Edward Francisco Murrell, a Los Angeles husi- ness man, is disconsolate, while his wife, kidnapped under the guard of her parents, now is speeding across the continent to Chicago. Thus love’s young dream, in which Miss Jane Barber, a talented vocalist, figures as a bride, is shattered, tem- porarily at least. Their love making, all unknown to the bride’s parents, soon ripened into a decision to wed. Miss Barber went to Los Angeles and when she returned she was Mrs. Murrell. The parents, learning the truth, discountenanced the step and, it is said, after tears and pleadings by her parents, the daughter prepared hastily for the Eastern flight. Stirling Appeal Withdrawn. Edinburg, July 13.—The appeal brought by Wrs. John Alexander Stir- ling agains. the decree of divorce in favor of Mr. Stirling. handed down'in March of this year by Lord Guthrie, Bas been-witbdrawn from court COMPELLED TO ANSWER QUERY Mrs. Thaw -Says Harry Did Threaten to Kill Her. PLEADS TO BE EXCUSED Explains Her Position to the Court and With Tears in Her Eyes Begs Him Npt to Compel Her to Reply. Further Testifies That Thaw Told Her He Was Not Insane When He Killed Stanford White. ‘White Plains, N. Y., July 1)—Eve- Iyn Nesbit Thaw took the witness stand in the hearing on Harry K. Thaw’s mental condition in the su- preme court here. Mrs. Thaw ap- peared as a witness for the state, which is opposing the release of her husband from the Matteawan insane asylum. Justice Mills, having ruled that the witness could answer the questions In regard to the threat made to kill der by her husband during a conversa- tion at Matteawan asylum which had been excluded from her former testi- mony on the grounds of privilege. Deputy Attorney General Clark asked her: “Did Harry K. Thaw at that time say this to you, or this in substance, ‘T shall have to kill you when I get ont of here? " Mrs. Thaw appealed to the court and begged Justice Mills not to make her answer the question. “Can I claim a privilege on the ground that it would tend to incrim- inate me?” asked Mrs. Thaw. Justice Mills said she could mnot claim a privilege on that account. Turning to the court with tears in her eyes Mrs. Thaw said: Pitiful Plea to the Court. “I don’t want to answer that ques- tlon; it places me in a terrible posi- tion. My husband will refuse to sup- port me the minute I answer it and I will incur his everlasting enmity. I am very much afraid to answer it. I don’t care how he has treated me, I am still married to him and I do not want to answer it.” Justice Mills quickly instructed the witness to answer and she sald with a long drawn sigh: “Yes, he did.” Mrs. Thaw further testified that during the same conversation Harry Thaw told her he was not crazy on the night he shot Stanford White. “I only missed him by a minute on the night before,” the witness said her husband told her. Thaw sat with his eyes intently on his wife as she testified and shook his head when she told of the threat. Mrs. Thaw was excused and An- thony C. Comstock, president of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, was called as the next wit- ness. Mr. Comstock’s evidence re- lated to conversations he had had with Thaw regarding alleged wrongs done young girls by White and oth- ers and was largely a repetition of witness’ testimony on the trial of Thaw for the murder of White. Thaw's speech and manner during these conversations, the witness said, were entirely rational. BANK OFFICIAL ARRESTED Is Accused of Misappropriating More Than $100,000. New Orleans, July 1!.—Occupying & prison cell instead of his palatial home in State street is the fate of Wyatt H. Ingram, Jr., for the past six years trusted officer of the Hiber- nian Bank and Trust company of New Orleans, who has been arrested on the charge of forgery and defalcation. According to officers of the Hiber- nian Bank and Trust company and the district attorney’s office Ingram made a complete confession of misappropri- ating $100,000 of the bank’s funds and of forging the name of a depositor to a check for $5,000. Other fraudulent aots were executed by vouchers which he, as trust officer, drew against in- active accounts. Speculation in stocks and bonds is ascribed as the cause of Ingram’s downfall. INFATUATED WITH ACTRESS Gay Career of Wealthy Young Cuban Ends in Self-Destruction. New York, July 1 :—Suicide ended the gay career of a wealthy young Cuban when Juan Balsinde shot him- self in his apartment here. Nearly 200 seat checks from theaters, some memoranda and a letter indicated that he had been infatuated with an ac- tress and had followed her from place to place in Cuba and in this country. He killed himself, it is belleved, be- cause his money had given out and his love affair had lost its interest. Balsinde’s father was a member of the firm of Balsinde Bros., owners of extensive sugar plantations. Five More Victims of Tetanus. Chicago, July 1 (—Five more deaths due to tetanus as a result of the Fourth of July celebration were re: ported throughout the country. This brings the total deaths due to the observance of Independence day, from all causes, up to 119, HAS BEARING ON HIS MURDER Private Package Left by Grescent City (lil.) Banker. Crescent City, IlL, July 1i—Con- tents of the private package left by the late banker, J. B. Sayler, are said to be of a startling nature. According to W. R. Nightingale, who was pres- ent when the secret papers were read by brothers of the decedent, the con- tents, which. he refused to divulge, have a direct bearing on the killing ‘of Mr. Sayler by Dr. W. L. Miller last Sunday as a result of an alleged at- Aachment of Mrs. Sayler-and Dr. Mil- ler. “We can't give what we found to the public, at least not now,” said Mr. Nightingale. “I will say, however, that it is evidence which will prove of value to the prosecution of Dr. Miller, who is charged with murder, and of Mrs. Sayler, charged with be- Ing an accessory.” “ Mr. Nightingale spoke in a manner far from his usual calm self-posses- sion. - He was like one unable to re- cover-from some astounding surprise. THIRTEEN OF HER GREW DROWNED British Submarine: Boat Sunk ina Gollision: Cmmer,‘ Eng., July 1f.—The British submarine designated as C-11 was sunk by the cargo steamer Eddystone near the Haisborough lightship. Thir- teen members of the vessel's crew went to the bottom with her and only three were saved. The cruiser Bonadventure, ‘with a flotilla of eight submarines, was pro- ceeding in a southerly direction when the Eddystone ran in among the ves- sels and collided with C-11. The sub- marine was badly stove in and went down immediately. With the excep- tion of the three mentioned the crew did not have time or opportunity to save themselves. The submarines C-16 and C-17, in endeavoring to avoid a collision with the freighter, ran into each other. C-17 was damaged, but there were no fatalities on board either craft.

SPECIAL SESSIONS URGED La Follette Working for Ratification of Income Tax Amendment. Chicago, July 1,.—Senator La Fol- lette of Wisconsin is preparing to start a national movement in favor of the income tax amendment. Its main object will be to influence the gov- ernors of the several states to call special sessions of the legislatures to act on the constitutional amendment instead of letting the proposition go over to the regular sessions, when it would become involved in partisan and factional battles.

STRIKERS COWED BY PRESENCE OF TROOPS Latter Use Glubs Freely in Dis- persing Growd, Pittsburg, July 14—The - situation at the plant of the Pressed Steel Car company at. McKees Rocks, adjacent to this city, where 3,500 men are on Following a night of terror and wild disorder, in which thirty persons were shot or beaten, a detachment of the Pennsylvania state constabulary arrived and seon after- wards the rioting stopped. The men are frightened and awed by the pres- ence of the mounted state police. When the police reached the plant they stationed their horses inside the great steel plant and then took up positions outside the fence. A mo- ment later a brick struck one of the troopers. Instantly the mill gate was thrown open, several troopers vaulted into -the saddle and the next minute dashed fiercely into a crowd of strik- ers and their sympathizers. As they galloped through the crowd the state police struck rizht and left with heavy o "ZZa%s. The crowd becamio de moralized under the terrific assault end fled in all directions. That incident occurred at daybreak. It had a potent effect and since that time the strikers satisfled themselyes by congregating at the gates of the mill, but not daring to commit any act that would cause a repetition of constabulary strike methods. - Strikers and the constabulary clashed several times during the day and twelve persons were injured, three of whom are in a serious condi- tion. Over a score of strikers and their sympathizers have been placed under arrest. Teacher and Pupils Drowned. Vancouver, B.
