JOHN ALBERT JOHNSON MEMORIAL FUND John Albert Johnson Memorial Fund, Care of The Pioneer, Be- midjiz Enclosed herewith please find ) (not to exceed $1), as a contribution to the fund to be used for the erection at the state capitol of a monument to John Albert Johnson, late governor of Minnesota. (Signed) Will Bemidj be backward in sub- scribing to the “John Albert Joha- son Memorial Fund?” The Pioneer believes not; and with this thought uppermost, will under- JOHN ALBERT JOHNSON. take to handle and acknowledge all subscriptions to this fund. The late governor had many personal friends in Bemidji, and the fund received here should be a substantial one. The John Albert Johnson Memor- ial Commission bas addressed the following letter to the people of Min- nesota, which the Pioneer repro- duces, at the request of the com- mission: “To The People Of Minnesota— “The members of the Board ap- pointed by Governor Eberhart to take charge of the Johnson Memorial fund met at St. Paul October 4th, and effected a permanent organiza- tion under the title The Governor John Albert Johnson Memorial Com- mission. “It was evident that mno practical OU may not play polo, or golf, or any other game but business; but you want good clothes. You can get Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes here; all- wool, all-right; and perfect tailoring. Suits $20 to $45; overcoats $16.50 to $60. This store is the home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes SCHNEIDER BROS, CLOTHING HOUSE consideration could be given to the question of the form of the proposed memorial until the amount at the disposal of the Commission should be approximately determined. As this is essentially and peculiarly a popular and spontaneous movement, it was felt that no solicitation should be used, but that an opportunity should be given to every man, woman and child in the state to contribute. “The memorial will bave its pro- foundest significance as an expres- sion of the universal respect and affection in which Goyernor Johnson was held by his fellow citizens. For this purpose, it is not so important to secure the greatest possible sum of money as to secure the widest ‘possible participation. Therefore the commission re-affirmed in its articles the original policy of the movement as begun in the news- papers that individual contributions shall inall cases be limited to one dollar and that smaller amounts will be welcomed. But due credit is to be given not only to the individuals but to the localities from which the contribu- tions are received, and to the or- ganizations and newspapers through which they are transmitted. Thus the final calculations will show the amounts received from each county, town and city, and also the amounts paid in through each association, business firm or newspaper. “Itisimportant that the campaign be closed at the earliest date con- sistent with the necessity of uni- versal publicity. “The Commission therefore in- vited and requests active and im- mediate cooperation in offering the opportunity to contribute. In each locality-systematic work should be done, and lists should be circulated by those who desire to share in the testimonial expression. Churches, schools, labor unions, fraternal and other association, womens clobs, commercial organization, employers of labor—above all the newspaper guild of which Governor Johnson was a loved and honored member— are invited to see that the oppor- tunity to contribute is given to each person in their several spheres of influence. **The Commission adopted a reso- lution expressing the desire that not less than $25,000 should be con- tributed promptly, in order that the fund may be closed on or about Nov- ember 1st. Itwas thought that this would be the minimum sum necessary to provide a worthy memorial—and it is hoped that the amount contri- buted may largely exceed that figure. “Finally, it is requested that al) contributions be forwarded promptly through local newspawers (by which they will be publicly acknowledged) to the treasurer, B.

D, Oct. 7.—A prom- inent official of the Minneapolis and St. Louis railroad is authority for the statement that the rcad will extend from Le Beau to the Pacific coast.

Confirmation is found in the re- ceipt of oxplicit instructions to con- tinue the survey of the extension as far west as possible before the weather compels the survey to cease. Activity all along the Minneapolis and St. Louis is admitted to be the result of the recent changes in the adminis trative family of the road, referring| b particularly to Edwin Hawley, chair- man of the executive hoard, and Theo- dore I.

AMENDMENTS ~ NUMEROUS Original Estimates No Longer Hold Good and the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer Is Preparing a Revision. King Edward Endeavoring to Rec- oncile the Warring Factions in Parliament. London, Oct. 7—The budget bill has undergone so many changes, some ©of a radical nature, during the six weeks’ debate and the chancellor of the exchequer has promised to intro- duce so n'any amendments on the re- port stage that the government has decide? to give the house of com- mons a week’s holiday in order to enable members to digest the revised proposals. The original budget estimates do not hcld good any ionger and Mr. Lloyd-George is prepaving a revised estimate of the yield expected to be produced by his financial proposals as amended during the debates in the bouse. The revised estimates will be placed in the hauds of the mem s when they adjourn on Nov. 9 to reassen:ble on Nov. 18. It is suggested in scme circles that wedifications enough may be intro- duced into the amended bill to make it more acceptablz to the house of lords. A particularly interesting turn is given to the situation by the an- Louncement that Lord lansdowne, leader of the oppositicn in the house of lords, is going to Balmoral castle for the week end. Whether Mr. As- quith, the premier, will still be there when the Unionist leacer arrives and what King Bdward may be able to do in the way of reconciling the pro- tagonists are mutters of keen discus- sion in pelitical circles. READ THE TIME INCORRECTLY Conductor Cause of Serious Wreck at Parnell, 11l Springfield, I, Oct. 7.—Omne pas- senger was killed and thirty-five per- sons were injured, four probably fa- tally, in a collision between a state fair special taking home several hun- dred excursionists who had heen at- tending the state fair in this city and a regular passenger train on the Illi- nois Central at Parnell.

Conductor Duncan of the special gives his version of the cause of the wreck. His own watch was being re- paired and he was using his son’s watch, he says. The dial in his son’s watch was not in the same position as on his own and when he looked at it he thought he had fourteen min- utes in which to run into Farmer City, when, in fact, he had but one minute.

It was fur- ther arsued taat Thaw was entitled to have a jury pass upon his mental condition and that he is sane now. MILITARY PARTY IS ACTIVE Would Increase Spain’s Army in Mo- rocco to 150,000 Men.

He said that so far as he knew the members of his family ‘who conducted the business before he and his brothers took charge did not carry on a “competitive destructive warfare” against their competitors. “Purely sentimental reasons,” he con- tinued, actuated him and his partners in retaining the Du Pont powder busi- uess when they took it over in 1902. “There was no reason,” he added, “why the business should go out of a family where it had heen for 100 years.” TPrices of powder were lower and competition in the business was greater mnow, he asserted, than in 1884.
