CARSON. lco at Bemld]l, Minnesots, as second Entored In the Postoffcs at Bomidl SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE “DOINGS” OF THE “DEMS.” The demise of the late Governor Johnson was indeed a most serious blow to the democratic party of Minnesota, and more particularly that close combination which was built up during the Johnson admin- istration——the so-called “kitchen cabinet.” Speaking of the probable ““doings” of the “dems,” George F. Authier says, in the Minneapolis Tribune; “The death of Governor Johnson has left the Democratic party with- out a leader, with the possible ex- ception of Frank A.Day. A con- ference of leaders will be held soon for the purpose of trying to de- cide upon a candidate for governor and for a future course of action. “The names of several prominent Democrats are being discussed. ‘The one that most naturally suggests itself is that of Congressman Ham- mond of the Second district. If Mr. Hammond should get in the game, Frank A, Day would probably be behind him. “Frank A. Day, who retires from public life for the present, has not decided upon his future course. He says he is going to retire to the quiet of Fairmount or some other quiet community, but those who know him doubt this possibility. “Others are mentioning his name as a possible candidate for governor, along with that of Peter M. Ringdahl of Crookston, member of the board of control. Mr. Day himself says he is through with politics for the present. He is too broken up over the death of Governor Johnson to take an immediate active interest 1n politics.” TROUBLE FOLLOWS TAYLOR. “It is stated that there is consider- able friction in Barnesville news- paperdom,” says an exchange, “and G. B.Wallan, who is retiring from the management of The Record- Review, is not feeling good over his treatment by the owners of the paper and now he threatens to establish a rivial paper and he promises some hot stuff about Clay county politics.” E.J. Taylor, who cut quite a bunch of “ice” in this section for a time, is in Barnesville, and the dis- turbing element which always follows in his wake has apparently followed him to his new home. CAUSTIC COMMENT. A. G. Rutledge.] Even the innkeeper is sometimes out. The less some people are entitled to the more they get. Troublemakers are as plentiful as peacemakers are scarce. Few men care to be as good or as bad as people think they are. The average man would rather pay $50 for a gun or $10 for a fish- ing rod than pay $5 for pew rent. Any man can get along with any woman; all he has to do is to let her have her own way. A girl of 16 pretends to know a lot more about men than a woman of thirty will admit she knows. BES!EGED BY ARMED MEN Butte Miners Kept in the Shaft for Hours. Butte, Mont., Sept. 2/—More than 1,000 strikitig miners, many heavily armed, besieged the Cagnon mine with the Intentiaz of attacking the miners when they came to the surface. They kept the men in the mine for hours. inally the beleaguered workmen ere released by a large posse after Wvely fighting. Armed guards suc- teeded In keeping the strikers back from the. mouth of the mine or they lkely would have descended in an ef: fort to attack those who refused to strike.

They fought their way to the opening and then the word was given for the miners to come to the surface, After violent scenes they were safely es corted through the ranks of the angry strikers and placed under guard I* 'BY ATTAGK OF APPENDICITIS Asslstant Secretary of State Wilson Seriously 11 ‘Washington, Sept. 28.—Suffering from a second attack of appendicitis Huntington Wilson, assistant secre: {tary of state, is kept from attendance mpon the Hudson-Fulton celebration in \New York.

While there was no note of real wavering among the members. of the Latter Reign of the Apostolic Church there was a tendency among gome of them to intimate that pub- Iished stories concerning-the time set for the end of the world were not exactly in accordance with the church’s beliefs and that the members would not be surprised if the end were delayed.

Shonts, presi- dent of the Chicago and Alton and several other railroads, against whom Frederick Hipsh has brought suit for $200,000 damages for the alienation of his wife’s affections. According to THEODORE P. S8HONTS. Attorney Delancey Nicoll Mr. Shonts has some evil double, for whose ac- tions the railroad president is held responsible. The identity of this dou- ble has not been given by Mr. Shonts or his attorney, but they say the case will be cleared to the credit of Mr. Shonts and the satisfaction of every- body at the proper time.

TELEGRAPH SYSTEMS PUT OUT OF SERVIGE Wires “Killed” by Violent Elec- rical Earth Currents. Chicago, Sept. 27.—Violent electrical earth currents, believed to emanate from the aurora borealis, disturbed the telegraph service over the entire country and for a time stilled the tick- ing of the instruments. While the drift of the currents was apparently to the eastward its strength was little more pronounced | in one section of the country than an- other. The currents were first felt about 5 o'clock in the morning and increased in intensity for two hours, reaching the heaviest wave at 7:10 a. m., when all telegraph activities were at a standstill. The force of the disturb- ing currents was so great that fuses were blown out and resistance lamps | lighted up brilliantly. Shortly after 7 o’clock the currents began to subside; and intermittent service was resumed | and the conditions after 9 o’clock be- came relatively normal, except to the north. Operators long in the business un- hesitatingly ascribed the “dead” wires to the aurora borealis and their opin- on was reinforced by weather bureau experts. Professor Bavid Cuthbertson, in charge of the local weather bureau, declared that the phenomena was without question due to the aurora borealis, which, he said, accompanied a high pressure in atmospheric condi. tions. TAFT PAYS VISIT T0 COPPER MINE Descends Into Underground Workings at Butte. —_— SEES ANACONDA SHELTERS —_— President Much Impressed With the Extent of the.

As in other cities the school children formed a featurc of the greeting to the president. The children all c: d flags and saluted the chief exccutlve as he passed in his motor. Strike Causes Change In Plans. Trouble between the Western Fed- eration of Miners and the organiza- tion of the engineers in the mines caused a change in the original pro. gramme. It had been planned for Mr. Taft to spend some tlme in the mines and smelters here, but when labor troubles became acute last week the committee changed the arrangement 80 that a part of the time was spent at Anaconda, where the smelters were visited and examined. The president took a lively interest in all he saw and seemed to be much impressed with the extent of the industry at Ana- conda and Butte. The labor trouble, which was caused by the engineers withdrawing from the federation and forming an inde- pendent organization, gave the palice officers some apprehension and extra precautions were taken to safeguard the president. Both the sheriff and the chief of policc added rany men to their regular forces. Taft Walks With a Limp. The president had a decided limp in his waik when he alichted from his special train here. 1le sprained - tendon in his foot before leaving Bav erly, but had suffered no bother wxti¥ Sunday, when, after ten days of gon-|| stant going with little or no rest, the i foot became swollen.
