SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE “DUFFY A CANDIDATE (?)” The following, taken from the Red Lake Falls Gazette, is interesting reading, in these days of political stagnation: ‘““There has been considerable talk this week that J. A. Duffy, mayor of this city, may become a candidate for representative in the legislature from the district of which Red Lake county is a part. Mr. Duffy has been out of the city all of the week so there has been no opporl\mi'ty to ask him to speak up, and it’s a little early for politics, anyway. How- ever, it may be said that the district would have a representative worthy the name should Mr. Duffy go to the legislature.” Mr. Duffy is cashier of the Mer- chants State Bank of Red Lake Falls, and is spoken of as being a pretty decent sort of fellow, with a keen appreciation of what this legis- lative district really needs. But— well, its early yet, to make any pre- dictions as to legislative candidates. CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] The Minneapolis parson who snap-shotted the ankles played a low-down trick. A St. Paul man who was going to commit suicide died of heart failure. He was probably scared to death. Governor Johnson has moved from St. Peter to St. Paul. St. Peter (the real one, hereafter) may get even, later. What Mr. Aldrich really favored was placing the ultimate consumer’s hide on the fence—and he has succeeded, admirably. With one squint of the prescient eye, we forsee people giving their friends sure cure for air sickness, within the next five years. It is related in the press dispatches that a Virginia women shot her husband, because he insisted on playing a phonograph. This must be a record case. Ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid has not attempted to escape from his palace prison at Solonki, declares the Tur- kish minister. It is not likely that, even if he wanted to, a man with eleven wives could go very far with- out being caught up with. NEW OFFICERS ARE CHOSEN Colonel Jewett Commander of Philip- plne Veterans. Pittsburg, Aug. 13.—The proceed- ings of the Philippine Veterans' cop- vention were mado speclally interest- ing by the presence of General Fred- erfcke D. Grant, who aroused enthust- asm by a speech upon the valor of the men who fought the country’s battles in forelgn lands. At the concluston of General Grant’s speech the follow- ing afficers were elected: Commander, Colonel C. L. Jewett, New Albany, Ind.; vice commander, A. H. Anderson, Plttsburg; junior ccmmanders, Major W. H. Anderson, Manila, P. L; Captain F. W. Latimer, Galesburg, 111.; Major Charles A. How- ard, South Dakota; F. 1. Krambs, 8t. Panl; Nicholas W. Muller, New York; paymaster general, W. B. Brown, Chi- cago; judge advocata general, Cap- tain W. H. Keating, Iowa; surgech general, Major George W. Neff, Ma- sontown, Pa.; chaplain, Samuel J. Smith, Nincteenth United States In- fantry. After the installation of the officers the new commander addressed the conventlon in opposition to merging of the Army of the Philipplnes with the American Veterans of Foreign Service. STRIKERS CONTINUE T0 RETURN TO WORK Lack of Funds May End Labor Troubles fn Sweden. Stockholm, Aug. 18.~The striking workmen of Bweden continue to re- turn to work. The stevedares of Goth enburg are tho latest to resume end the forelgners taken to Gothenb to, fill thelr places are being returne their homes. Out of a total of 460,000 workmen engaged in Swedish industries, excly- slve of agriculture and the raflroad service, 286,763 are on strl but small groups of thege men ard con- t{nually returning to thelr labord, It {s expected that the saw mill bands will be combpelled sghortly, through lack of funds, to return to their places. They are fu a bad way; they have fssued an appeal for funds beaded, “Starvation Is st the Door,” and are begging food throughout the rural districts. THAW RECEIVES DECISIONGOOLLY Shows No Emotion When He Is Held Still Insane. DENIES VIEW OF COURT Oontradicts Justice Mills’ Statement That He Btill Cherishes the Same Deluslons That Drove Him to Shoot Stanford White—Family and Child- hood History Main Factor in Ad- verse Decislon of Case. White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 13.—The state of New York won a complete victory over Harry K. Thaw when Jus- tice Isaac N. Mills decided that the slayer of Stanford White is still in- sane and sent him back to the crim- inal insane asylum at Matteawan. Not one of the many contentions made by Thaw during the three weeks of his Tecent hearing were sustained, He is, however, somewhat better off than be- fore he brought the present suit, be- cause Justice Mills in his decision suggests—and the suggestion amounts practically to an order—that Thaw at Matteawan be restored to the priv- ileges he enjoyed during the first three months of his stay there and that his mother be allowed all the pos- elble privileges and treated with ev- ery consideration when she calls to see him. The prisoner took the declslon coolly. His only statement was a de- nial of the assertion in the court’s opinion that he still cherished the same delusions that drove him to shoot White. Dismisses Writ of Habeas Corpus. In formal language Justice Mills' decision dismisses the writ of habeas corpus under which Thaw applied for his lberty and “remands him to the oustody of the defendant (Dr. Robert B. Lamb, superintendent of Mattea- wan state hospital), whence he was produced here.” In concludtag that Thaw {s now in- eane the court gives first importance to his family and childhood history. His determination that the prisoner has not yet recovered is based prin- cipally on the opinion of Dr. Amos Baker, assistant superintendent of the Matteawan asylum. “All such au- thorities,” says Justice Mills, “are public officers, with no concelvable motive except to do their duties.” Justice Mills says that Thaw's be- Uet in the stories of White’'s prac- tices 19 plainly a delusion, not based on facts, as Thaw's attorneys sought to show. Regarding Thaw’s wife the Jugtice says: B “About 1901 he became enamored of & young woman, Miss Nesbit, whom he afterwards merried. 8he was then, by common reputation, well known to him, the mistress or a mistress of ftanford White. She soon assumed that relation to Thaw and, obviously, to account to him for her former post- tlon with White, told him various wild and grossly fmprobable stories of the inception of that relatton.” Influenced by State Allenists. The court says that it was more nvinced by the testimony of the fepists called for the state than by that of the prisoner’s esperts. Re- garding Dr. Britton D. Evans he says: “He experionced great difficulty in yeconciling his present opinlon with Mg previous attitude In connection with the homicide trtals and, to my mind, dfd not entirely succeed in so doing.” Thaw evidently made a bad impres. lon upon the judge by his actlons ioth on and off the witness stand. ‘he opinion calls particular attontion to Thaw's faclal appearance, espe- clally during the last afternoon of his testimony, when for twenty minutes be spoke fn justification of “his ex- travagant bellef as to White’s conduct with a certain woman.” The court, in couclusion, expresses his sympathy with the distress of Rhaw's mother, but declares that, in opinion, her criticism of District Attorney Jerome is unwarranted. TRAGEDY ON STREET CAR Rejected Lover Kills Qirl and Trles to End His Own Life. Chicago, Aug. 13.—On a crowded street car Thomgs Katsnes shot and killed Victorla Kawalac because she falled to reclprocate his affections. Katsnes also -shot himself, but only {nfiicted a slight wound. He was for- merly a restaurant keeper and had employed the girl as a waltress. ROUTED BY ARTILLERY FIRE 8panish Garrison In Morocco Drives Oft Moors. Penon do la Gomeya, Morocco, Aug. 18.—The Moors who were firlng on the Spapish garrison here have been driven by artillery fire to the distant hills. Thefr losses were conslderable. The bombardment of their present po- sitions is being continued.

ABDUL HAMID NEAR DEATH Condition of Deposed Sultan of Tur- key Alarming. Salonica, Aug. 13.—The death of former Sultan Abdul Hamid is de- clared to be imminent as a result of a severe attack of angina pectoris. Three surgeons from Constantinople have arrived here and an operation on ABDUL HAMID, the deposed ruler will probably be performed in a desperate effort to save his life. Abdul is confined in a palace prison on the outskirts of the city. He has been a very sick man for months, but it has been only within the last few days that his condition has become alarming. REVISION OF TARIFF GOST HALF MILLION Expenses of Extraordinary Ses- sion of Congress. . = ‘Washington, Aug. 13.—The extraor- dinary session of congress which re- vised the tariff law cost the American people, it has been estimated by some of the statisticlans around the Cap- itol, about $500,000. Many different items enter into this grand ‘total, the chief of which is mileage. The house'’s expense on this account aggregates $184,000 and that of the senate $47,000. Extra pay al- lowed to employes on both sides of the Capitol amounted, it is estimated, to about $160,000. Special employes engaged in coinpiling information for congress and the committees relative to the tariff were pald good salaries. The government printing office has not yet supplied a statement concern- Ing the cost of printing the tariff bill, reports and hearings, but it is known that this will be large. UPWARD MOVEMENT IN PRICES Advance on Stock Market Carries Un- lon Paclflo to 209, New York, Aug. 13.—A lively specu- lative movement in the stock market marked the opening. During the first hour Unlon Pacific sold gear 209 and Southern Pacifio, Loutsville and Nash- ville, United States Steel and Penn- sylvania were prominent. Prices were advanced in London as a preliminary to the opening here. Rumors that an increase in the Union Pacific dividend had been determined on, that Loufs- ville and Nashville was to distribute a stock bonus to stockholders and that arrangements for the placing of a large stock issuo abroad had been made accounted for the activity. Profit taking sales were so heavy on the ad- vance as to stagger the market and induced reactions within an hour of the openting. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolls Wheat.

GUNEXPERT LAST WITNESS Declares It Impossible Under the Clr cumstances for Dead Officer to Have Shot Himeelf, as Sworn to by Hie Companions—Advocate General An nounces He Has No Argumént to Submit. Annapolis, Md., Aug. 13.—The court of inquiry investigating the death of Lieutenant James-N. Sutton, Jr., Unit: ed States marine corps, has concluded the taking of testimony. When court met Dr. Edward M Schaeffer of Washington, called as an expert on gunshot wounds, resumed the stand. When the court adjourned the previous day Dr. Sohaeffer had shown on a skull the location and direction of the bullet wound which caused the death of LieutenanfgSutton and had declared that, under e con- ditions established by the testimony, it would have been impossible for Lieutenant Sutton to-fire the shot. Mr. Birney, counsel for Lieutenant Adams, cross-examined the witness and had him take a position on the counsel table similar to that occupied by Lieutenant Sutton on the ground when the fatal shot was fired and re- peat, with a service revolver, a dem- onstration the witness had previously given of the dificulty of firing under the circumstances. Sticks to Previous Statement. Dr. Schaeffer again declared that with a service revolver and under the conditions given Lieutenant Sutton could not have shot himself. Mr. Birney sought to learn from the witness whether the bullet may not have plowed the scalp wound which was found on Lieutenant Sutton’s head and then turned and penetrated the skull. Dr. Schaeffer sald he had never known of such a case and that while he would not say it is an im- possible one he would have to be con- vinced by ocular demonstration. This closed the testimony. . Major Leonard stated that the gov- ernment had no argument to submit, He outlined the efforts of the govern- ment to lay before the court every shred of testimony touching the case. This having been done, he said, he would not offer any argument unless compelled by something that might be sald by the attorneys or other parties to the investigation. Adjournment was then taken for the day. WU TING FANG RECALLED Will Bo Succeeded at Washington by Chang Yin Tang. ‘Washington, Aug. 13.—Chinese Min- ister Wu Ting Fang has been recaHed from Washington and ordered _to Pe- King for further assignment. His suc: cessor will be Chang Yin Tang, for- merly charge at Madrid and now dep- uty vice president of foreign affairs. Mr. Wu is now in Peru, to which coun- try he has been credited along with the United States. The recall surprised government ofrcles here. Dr. Wu has been the accredited representative of China in the American continent stnce March, 1908, gnd during that time-has dome much toward adding to the reputation he established among the people gen- erally during his first term as minis- ter to America in 1897-1002. His wit and interest in Amerlcan life made him a popular figure. His sympathies with the United States during the Boxer trouble led to his first recall. It was reported then that ho was to be beheaded, but this government promptly intimated that such a course would be offensive to the United States. o ' An Explanation. “How long has this restaurant been open?” asked the would be diner. “Two years,” said the proprietor. “I am sorry I did not know it,” sald the guest. “I should be better off if I bad come here then.” . “Yes?” smiled the proprietor, very much pleased. “How is that?” “I should probably have been served by this time if I had,” sald the guest, and the entente cordiale vanished.— Harper's Weekly.
