Just think of it, you old fellows who have been pegging away either at the case or in the more trying position of attempting to satisfy the public in the way of furnishing news that will satisfy all, to see a real old- time typesetter, printer and vall— around man, who has worked in every step in the trade from “devil” to “editor and proprieter,” handling the “long green” for the State of Minnesota. How would it feel to be in a posi- tion to call in and tap, familiarly on the back, the official who sees to it that the “ghost” walks for the State of Minnesota—a man who in his time had to hustle wood on sub- scription in order to keep warm? If this allusion hits a responsive chord, then “boost” for A. Kaiser, the Bagley banker, for state treas- urer, He has been through the mill of setting type, eating showballs and burning his neighbor’s wood in connection with attempting to gain fame and honor as a printer and newspaper man, and he has a warm spot in his heart for every “old print” of the “school of experience.” Mr. Kaiser served his apprentice- ship in the printing business in the office of the Winona Herald, and following the trend of the “old-time print” of years ago, he subsequently “held a case” on the Winona Daily Republican, St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Daily Northern Tier of Crookston. Later Mr. Kaiser edited and publised the “Thirteen Towns” at Fosston for some ten years. His association of many years with the real geniuses of the printing fraternity (and those ‘“old-time prints” certainly were the geniuses of the craft) gave to Albert F. Kaiser a great insight into the many phases of buman nature and equipped bim for a successful struggle in the battle of life. Mr. Kaiser has made a success of the banking business and is today considered one of the most success- ful financiers of northern Minnesota. But with all his successes, “AlL” Kaiser has not lost that most estima- ble trait of being one of the common people. MALICIOUS HAT-PIN JAB. On dit the financial department of Bemidji’s daily paper is in a— crippled condition. — Cass Lake Times. No other paragrapher but the assistant editress of the Cass Lake Times would make a covert under- banded thrust like the above—a stab in the back that cannot reflect on the writer because of gender. The “financial department of Be- midji’s daily paper” was never in a more flourishing condition, as re- ference toeither of the local banks will prove. Persons who are protected by age, or sev, from receiving their just due for pure viciousness should be branded as cowardly character assas- sins and never placed in _positions where they can do harm. The two aged Cass Lake writers are on the toboggan side of life, however, and it is really too bad that their second childhood should be commenced in such an absolutely incorrigable manner. {: Be good, children. DISMISSES‘ THE RECEIVERS Judge Sanborn Finds Smith and Buri Have Nothing to Do. . St. Paul, Nov. 29.—Judge Walter H Sanborn of the federal circuit court has filed an order aismissing Charles H. F. Smith’ and Horace G. Burt as receivers of the properties of the Chi- cago Great Western Railway company. The reports of these receivers hav- Ang been filed and their compensation fixed there was nothing more for them to do as reéceivers. All of the lawsuits against the old company or e receivers, as such, have been as sumed by the Chicago, Great Western ‘Railway company, which is the old gorporation reorganized. - SLAYER OF SIX MUST DIE MHoward Little to Be Electrocuted on s - Jan. 7. Bluefields, W. Va,, Nov. 20.—How- Ard Little, murderer of six persons, { was found guilty by the jury in Judgo Barnes’ court at Grundy and was sen- tenced to die In the electric chair at Richmond, Va., Jan. 7. Little made no defense. AMERICAN VIGE CONSUL JAILED? Report Says He Is Prisoner in-Nicaragua, WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN 8tate Department Unable to Get Any Reply to Inquiries Made to- Him Concerning Execution of Cannon and Groce—Insurgent Representa- tive at Washington Asked to Assist In Locating Missing Official. New Orleans, Nov. 29.—Dispatches received here say that United States Vice Consul Henry Caldera, at Man- agua, has been imprisoned by the Ze- layan forces. No confirmation of the report has yea been received. The dispatches say that he is miss- ing and that it is believed that he ig one of the many prisoners held by Zelaya. The reason for the alleged imprison- ment of Caldera, according to the dis- patches, is the desire of Zelaya to hide from the United States government the cruelties that attended the execu- ton of Cannon and Groce. It is ‘'known that the state depart- ment has been unable to get any re- ply to the inquiries they have made concerning the execution It is said the Zelayan government has opened letters and dispatches to the vice con- sul and that these inquiries caused his prisonment. Statements from passengers and crew of the steamship Parismina, from Costa Rica, declare that Cannon'and Groce were ‘‘captured on- ‘neutral ground, and before their execution were yoked together like oxen for hours. A hundred pound weight was tied to the yoke, according to these reports, and the men were scourged with a cat-o-nine tails. Insurgents Aiding in Search. Dr. Castrillo, who represents the provisional government at Washing- ton, has been asked to assist in find- ing Caldera. In a message received from Nicaragua Castrillo is sald by friends here to have received news ‘Wwhich makes him believe that Caldera has been made prisoner and possibly has been shot at Zelaya’s order. Reports from the interior coming by way of Bluefields are meager. The conditions about Managua are un- changed. The insurgent forces are well armed and have provisions and have cut off the food supply of the Nicaraguan capital. Their forces greatly outnum- bers the Zelayan forces in the capital. By order of Estrada, it is reported here, General Sanez will begin a thorough search for the missing vice consul as soon as his troops enter the city. CANNON PROPOSES TO FIGHT Makes Fiery Attack on Insurgents at Kansas City. Kansas City, ®ov. 20.—That the In- surgents who are fighting Cannon will have a good lively scrap on their hands is the opinion expressed by those who heard the speaker's address before the Knife and Fork club here, in which he sent a few hot shots at the insurgents’ camp, attacked their at- tempt to revise the house rules and upheld the Payne tariff measure. “The senators and representatives Wwho call themselves insurgents,” said Cannon, ‘and who voted against the Payne bill, voted to increase or main- tain tne duties on the industries and products of their own states and sec- tlons. They are protectionists for their own people, but were opposed to protection for other people in other sections.” Declaring that Cummins, La Fol lette, Bristow and the other insur gents were making the same sort of attack on the house of representatives that Bryan is making, he added: “I know of but one way to treat them, and that i8 to fight them just as ‘we fight Mr. Bryan and his following.” _— ENDS LIFE ON CANAL ZONE Wife of Commission Member Commits Suicide. New Orleans, Nov. 20.—Mrs. C. W. Tull, wife of Gaptain Tull of the Pana- ma canal commission, committed sul- cide in her Panama home by severing her jugular vein with a hatchet, ac cording to advices received here. Apparently Mrs. Tull wished to make it seem as if a murder had been committed. The screen in a window was cut out, but it was done from the inside. Mrs. Tull was twenty years old and was known as ome of the prettiest women on the isthmus. - Indiana Bank Is Closed. Shencer, Ind., Nov. 29.—The private bank of Beem, Peden & Co. was closed by order of the auditor of state, on the ground that a larger amount of the bank's assets was employed in investments than the state banking daws permitted. The liabilities of the bank aggregate $250,000. Canadian Coal Miners. Strike. ‘Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 20.—Two hun: dred miners in Stanley mines around Edmonton, Alberta, struck work, being dissatisfied with conditions. A coa famine is threatened at Edmonton and the schools and power house will have to close. FURTHER DELAY: EXPECTED Postal Bank Proposal WIII Not Be Pughed ‘in Congress. ‘Washington, Nov. 29.—Conferences at the White House have pretty defi- nitely developed two facts in connec- tion ' with the legislative programme of the ‘administration at the coming #ession of congress. The first of these facts is that there 18 no probability of the monetary com- mission report being presented or con- sidered at this session. The second is that legislation looking toward the es- tablishinent of a system of postal sav- ings banks will have to wait until-the monetary commission report is made and a new currency law enacted. Chairman Weeks of Massachusetts, of the house committee on- postoffices JOHN W. WEEKS, and post roads, Senator Lodge of Mas- sachusetts and the president were in conference half an hour. or more. Mr. Weeks, on leaving the White House, said it had been practically de- termined that postal savings banks ‘would not be considered at the coming session. This does not mean that President Taft will not recommend such a system of banks in his mes- sage, but that the chances are that he will agree to postponing consideration of this subject until next year. ESTIMATED REVENUE ABOUT $25,000,000 Corporation Tax Regulations at Last Completed. ‘Washington, Nov. 29.—The corpora- tion tax regulations are complete and ready for the printer, reported Secre- tary MacVeagh and Commissioner of Internal Revenue Cabell to President Taft at a brief conference at the White House. The latest estimates indicate a net revenue under it of approximately $25,000,000 annually and 122,000 corpo- rations are likely to have to pay cor- poration taxes. There ave many uncertainties about its effects. In one of the far South- west states, for instance, it has been found that not over 10 per cent of many thousands of corporations whose official existence was authorized have ever actually done business. Improper registration in many cases 18 fully expected with such a gigantic scheme, but the series of penalties un- der the law will apply just the same to those who fail to get the forms and regulations. The mailing of the forms and blanks to every corporation listed in'the various districts is not specific- ally required by law and is merely to assist tae corporations. Those not registered should apply immediately to the collectors. All the returns are required to be in the collector’s hands by March 1, then sent to the internal revenue bureau here, where the tax will be ussessed and the taxpaying corporations notified by June 1, the tax to be paid July 1. MUST LET ROAD ENTER CITY President Gomez Annuls Action of Cuban Obstructionists. Havana, Nov.,20.—President Gomez has signed a decree, annulling on the ground of illegality the action of the city council of Cienfuegos, which for- bade entrance into that city of the Clenfuegos, Palmria and Cruces rail- road. This ends the long and deter- mined opposition of the Cienfuegos au- thorities to the road now rapidly near ing completion. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

GASE NOW UP TO HIGHEST COURT Labor Leaders Apply for - Writ of Certiorari. | CHANCES AGAINST THEN Records of Supreme Tribunal Show That About One Application in Ten Is Successful—Should the Decision Be Against the Defendants Only One Recourse Remains, a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Washington, Nov. 20.—If a “book” were to be made, based on past per- formances of the supreme court of the United States in similar proceed- ings, the odds would be about ten to one that Gompers, Mitchell and Mor- rison, the three labor leaders, will go to jail. Application has been made to that tribunal for a writ of certiorari on be- half of the officials of the American Federation of Labor to review the re- cent decision of the appellate court of the District of Columbia, which affirmed the sentences of contempt imposed by Justice Wright of the District supreme court. A search of the records of the su- preme court of the United States shows that about one application in ten for writs-of certiorari is granted. The usual practice is to take such ap- Dlications under advisement for one week. May Review Entire Case. Should the court decide to grant the writ this would mean that the entire case, involving the alleged disobedi- ence on the part of the defendants of the injunction against boycotting the Buck Stove and Range company of St. Louis and their sentences for con- tempt, would be reviewed by the high- est court in the land. The final de- cision of the court, in the event the writ is granted, would probably not be filed for several months. If the application is denied Gom- pers, Mitchell and Morrison will be committed to jail forthwith for terms of twelve, nine and six months re- spectively. In this event there re- mains one recourse, a writ of habeas corpus. The suggestion that President Taft might pardon the three labor leaders is entirely eliminated by the reiter- ated statements of Gompers and his associates that they will make no application for a pardon and will per- mit none to be made in their behalf. JAPAN'S ENVOYS END TOUR Commercial Commissioners Sall for Home Tué¥day. San Francisco, Nov. 29.—After three months of travel in the United States, during which they have visited every important business center in the coun- try, the forty-six Japanese commercial commissioners, headed by Baron Shi- busawa, have arrived in San Fran- cisco. They will sail for home on Tuesday on the Japanese liner Chiyo Maru. The concluding festivity will be a banquet Monday night at which the most distinguished men of the city and state will express their views of the future of the Pacific and the rela- tion of Japan and the United States to its commercial development. COURT REFORM IS URGED French Commission Would Curtail Functions of Judges. Paris, Nov. 29.—The extra parlia- mentary commission appointed by Minister of Justice Barthou to revise the procedure in the criminal courts of France formally voted to recom- mend the suppression of the inter- rogatiore, or the practice which has permitted magistrates and presidents of assize courts to examine accused persons.

Paul, Nov. 20.—As a result of the activities of “bootleggers” and other unauthorized liquor venders a sweeping order has been issued by the federal Indian bureau closing many saloons in the territory ad- jacent to the White Earth and Red Lake Indian reservations.
