FIGHTS OVER GLOSING SALOONS GOES TO GOURT Federal Court Will On Thursday Render Opinion on Writ of Habeas Corpus. The attempt of the federal officers to wipe out the saloons at Mahno- men and other pointsin the White Lake Indian Reservation and the resulting fight at Mahnomen is being taken into the United States Federal court; and it is understood that the order of the government to put the saloons permanently out of business will be fought to a final decision in the highest courts in the land. Judge Charles Williard, of the Federal Court at Minneapolis, on Saturday issued a writ of habeas corpus to Assistant United States District Attorney Egbert S. Oakley to secure the release of W. E. John- son, of the department of Indian affairs, and the nine deputies who assisted him in raiding the-saloon at Mahnomen. The writ is directedto Sheriff Orin Daniels of Polk county, and is made returnable before Judge Page Morris at Duluth on Thursday at 10 o’clock. Johnson and his associates, who were arrested at Mahnomen, are still in the Polk county jail and, will remain in custody until the hearing at Duluth. If the writ is approved by Judge Page Morris Thursday, the men will be released. If itis not sustained they will be remanded to the custody of Sheriff Daniels to await the action of the Mahomen county grand jury, and if indicted to stand trial 1 the district courts of that county. Mr. Oakley believes that the case to be presented by the government before Judge Morris will result in the immediate release of the men. Johnson will claim that he was act- ing under the old Chippewa treaty which forbids the sale of liquor in Indian territory until congress orders otherwise. If Johhson and his deputies are released Thursday warrants will then Smile today and is a glass of pleasure. you’ll remember it always.

Telling the The simple truth, in black and white, is that when you buy lumber or building material from us, you can throw all uncertanity to the four winds. Does that sink in? Goods of inferior quality may cost little, but they may not be WORTH anything. No matter how little you pay for an article, it is not really cheap unless it will satisfactorily fulfil the purpose for which it is intended. Our lumber and _building material is made good enough for the White House, but is sold to those people who want “the best yon've got.” If you're that kind of a buyer, we can please you.

Mayor Lange of Cass Lake was in St. Paul recently and held a confer- ence with W. E. Johnson, special officer of the United States Indian Service, and with United States Dis- trict Attorney Houpt. It is said that Mr. Johnson finally agreed to let Cass Lake have three saloons; that at the conclusion of the consultation Mr. Johnson promised that he would consider the matter more thoroughly and would consult with Mr. Houpt and with Mr. Frater, Indian agent, and would let the village authorities of Cass Lake know later .as to their final decision.

County Superintendent of Schools W. B. Stewart has received from the state superintendent, D. G. Schultz, a letter addressed to the county superintendents and the teachers of the public schools of the State of Minnesota, a part of which is as follows: “Every boy and girl in Minnesota, and every teacher and . friend of education, has been moved to grieve deeply over the death of Governor Johnson, He was loved and admired by every person in our state. He gave his best services for the com- mon good. His private and public life is a lesson and an inspiration to youth, and his memory should be held sacred. “A movement is now in progress throughout the state to raise funds for the erection of a memorial at the State Capitol which will truly typify his worth and work. His own lack of opportunity during his early years only served to intensify his interest in making it possible for othets to receive the advautages of an education. No interest was dearer or more sacred to him than that of helping the struggling boy and girl in the public school, or the young man and woman to come within the influence and training of our school system. It seems, there- fore, entireiy fitting and appropriate that the school children be given an opportunity to express their love and regard for the Governor by contributing toward the Johnson Memorial Fund. I therefore recommend that on a day previous to October 22nd a general announcement be made by superintendents and teachers in all the sckools of the state, public and private alike, that funds are being collected for a memorial to Governor Johnson. With the per- mission of the school board a collection may be made in the school, by the children, for this purpose. In some cases there are valid objections against making any collection of money from the school children, through the school. Insuch cases they may be directed to send their individual contributions to the county super- intendent, to the teacher, or some. one else authorized to receive the funds. In no case should there be any rivalrty between individual rooms, departments, or buildings. If a collection is made through the school, it should be done in a way so as to draw no distinction between different pupils as to what amount each conttibutes,” Acting in accordance with the above circular letter, I recommend that Friday, October 15, a collection be taken in the schools of Beltrami county for the Johnson Memorial fund, and that the amounts so collected be forwarded to me as soon as pessible. —W.

To lovers of drama, Hortense Neilsen’s engagement here Tuesday evening only, at City Opera House, will be of more than usual interest, for she will present Henrik Ibson’s masterpiece, “A Doll’'s House,” which has created more wide-spread discussions than all of Ibsen’s plays. “A Doll’s House” is perhaps the most human and appealing. The story of the husband who makes his wife a plaything, and a child whose selfish egotism allows him only to see the danger for himself, when he finds that the deception she has committed for himself may bring the family into disgrace, is one of ab- sorbing interest. Hortense Neilsen is said to play Nora sublimely. She is physically the doll wife in appearanne and her development of the role from the lighter scene of the first act, to the tremenduous situations of the play, closes with so fine a piece of acting that New York and Chicago refuses to allow “A Doll’s House” to be withdrawn. No other actors have ever offered it in this country for more than a few successive performances. Under the direction of C. A. Quintard, Hortense is supported by Norval MacGregor and her New York com- pany and carries a complete pro- duction. This is without doubt the greatest dramatic offer that will appear here this season. Reports come to us that capa- city houses are being played nightly, and it would-not be amiss to advise our theater patrons to secure seats as early as possible.

Pittsburg, Oct. 1 —Detroit evencd up the count in the world’s champion- ship series, defeating Pittsburg, 7 to 2, in a one sided game. The Detroit rlayers batted Camnitz hard in the early innings and he was succeeded by Willis in the third inning. Willis was also hit hard in the fifth inning and Detroit scored two more runs off him. - ki The first inning was all Pittsburg, but after that the National league champions were never in the running for a moment. Two two-baggers and a base on balls off “Wild Bill” Dono- van in the first inning was the end of their ability to hit him. After this he became better every inning and the hard hitting Pittsburg men were absolutely helpless before his bril- Hant twirling. Only three hits were made ofi Donovan after the first irning. One of the sensational fea- tures was a brilliant steal of home by “Ty" Cobl in the third inning on the first ball pitched by Willls. Gibson was so surprised at the unexpected feat of Cobb that he dropped the ball as Cobb slid under the plate. ONE KILLED; FOUR INJURED Auto Going Fifty Miles an Hour Crashes Into Tree.

The “presidential suite” consisted of one room without plaster or other evi- dence of luxury. Coming to Glacier Point the presi- dent arrived at the brink of the chasm just in time to catch the beautiful effect of sunset. The delicate pink and violet lights, filtering through forests of pine, painted the ordinarily cold and granite walls with glowing tints. On the trail the president’s party passed through patches of snow and many beautiful views of the water falls, the clifts, the domes and the natural wonders of the valley were obtained. Arriving at the foot of the narrow, winding path President Taft and his party werz met by coaches and taken to the Sentinel hotel, where luncheon was served. A sixteen-mile drive then took the president out of the park to the little railway station at El Portal, where he boarded the train.
