Authier, poli- tical writer for the Minneapolis Tribune, made a statement in his political column relative to William E. Lee of Long Prairie, and referring to Mr. Lee as “appealing to past factional differences.” ° Mr. Lee has been mentioned quite frequently of late as a possible can- didate for the republican nomination for governor of Minnesota; and in referring to Mr. Authier’s remarks, Mr. Lee says: “In your edition of the 24th inst. you blame me for ‘appealing to past factional difierences.” I made ‘o appeal. I mentioned a fact; you gave it a name. Three months of careful investigation extending over most of the state compels me to recognize the fact I stated. My reference to it was not for the pur- pose of magnifying it or having it insure to my personal advantage but rather to have it recognized and its consequences avoided. “I will go as far as any man honorably can go to secure harmony, but I can see no advantage in deceiv- ing ourselves as to conditions. I am of the opinion, and that opinion is based on very careful investiga- tion, that as matters stand today there are enough Republicans who 'supported the ticket in the last three elections who will not vote for any man they believe bolted the nomi- nee, especially a man who was a candidate on the ticket to which he failed to give his earnest support, to make his nomination for governor at this time a political mistake. *Bear 1n mind, I am not as yet a candidate for governor, buta Re- publican anvious for the success of my party, and I feel that I am do- ing my duty when I point out dangers towards which I believe the party is drifting. What effect this may have upon me politically is of no consequence; I am not anxious about it. “If you are able to show me the man who can unite the party, he is my candidate; but if he cannot do this and his candidacy will tend to disrupt it and bring it to defeat, I am against him.” CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] Buy your Christmas presents now, and tell your friends to buy your Christmas presents now—and avoid the rush. If women voting prevents them from becoming mothers of our sons, how is it that men voters have been 80 long the fathers of our daughters? In contradiction of the insinua- tions that he is a czar, Uncle Joe Cannon has taken pains to demon- strate that he is something of a literary bomb thrower himself. Mr. Ballinger and Mr. Pinchot are to be congratulated on not allow- ing any differences they may have had to reach the acute condition of the Cook-Peary controversy, which is at a lull, at present. Two young New York men played pool for thirty-two hours, according to a press dispatch. They are sound asleep now, we trust, dreaming of the vast benefit which such service does the cause of human progress. NOTED AS EYE SPECIALIST Duke Karl Theodor of Bavaria Is Dead. Bayreuth, Bavaria, Dec. 1.—Duke Karl Theodor of Bavaria is dead from kidney trouble. Duke Karl never figured prominent- ly in military or political affairs, but studied meaicine and became a famous eye specialist. He maintained several private hospitals, where the poor were treated free, and did much to intro- duce sanitation in the homes of the mountaineers. He was the head of the ducal line of the Bavarian house. One of his sisters the empress of Aus- tria, was murdered in Geneva. An- other sister married the Duke de Alen- oon and was burned to death in the Paris charite fair fire.

YOUNG WIFE FIRST VICTIM Enraged Man Slashes Throat of His Spouse, Crushes Skull of Her Moth er and Wounds Two of Her Broth ers, but His Nerve Fails When He Attempts to Kill Himself—Says “Too Much Motherin-Law” Caused ‘Tragedy. New York, Dec. 1.—In an outburst of violent rage Patrick Rafferty, a contracting bricklayer, killed his wife Margaret, mortally injured his aged mother-in-law, Mrs. Margaret Kelly. slashed his brother-inlaw, Frank Oh land, about the face and hands and ‘was prevented from killing himself by police summoned by neighbors. The tragedy happened at Mrs. Kelly’s home in Brooklyn and after Rafferty had been taken to the police station it was necessary to put him in a straightjacket to prevent him injuring himself. Rafferty is forty-five years old and ‘was married three years ago to Mar- garet Kelly, many years his junior The two took up their home at Mrs Rafferty’s mother’s home, where her other son-in-law, Frank Ohland, and the latter's mnine-year-old boy alsc lived. Rafferty was prosperous, and, it is alleged, he plunged into dissipa- tion. The cause was family difficulties and, it was said, he and his mother- inlaw quarreled bitterly. , Four months ago Rafferty demanded that his wife come to live with him and not with her relatives and she re fused. He left, only to return on Thanksgiving day, and all differences were apparently settled. Renews His Demands. Prior to the tragedy he renewed the demand that his wife go with him and belp prepare a home of their own. Upon her refusal, Rafferty seized a razor and attacked his wife, who start- ed to run, but was caught by the in- furiated man, who slashed her throat, almost severing her head from her body. His mother-in-law rushed into the room and followed him into the kitch- en, screaming. He picked up a mop and beat her down with it, crushing her skull and leaving her unconscious. The Ohland boy ran to help his grandmother and was felled with a blow in the face. Frank Ohland rushed in to tackle the infuriated man and the latter slashed him about the face and hands and then attacked him with fists and feet. Ohland fled to save his life, while the neighbors who had been alarmed by the screaming called the police. Captain Woods and police arrived on the scene to find Rafferty seated be- side the body of his wife, the bloody razor in his hand. He had gashed at his neck in an attempt at suicide, but the sight of his own blood apparently caused him to lose his nerve and he sald: “There was too much mother-in-law. That is the whole story.” CAN INFORM GRAND 'JUR¥ Preacher Who Charged Officlal Rotten- ness Summoned. Indianapolis, Dec. 1.—Rev. Harry G. Hill of the Third Christian church of this city has been served with a subpoena to appear before the Marion county grand jury and explain charges against the police department which he made from his pulpit Sunday. The subpoena was issued at the demand of Chief of Police Metzger, who resented Mr. Hill's charges of graft and his as- sertion that the police department “is rotten from the chief all the way down.” Mr. Hill, while reiterating the charges he made in his sermon, said he had based them on hearsay, and that if called before the grand jury he would be unable to give amy direct evidence.

TERMS NOT SATISFACTORY 8uggested Thatsthe Nicaraguan Con- gress, Which He Controls, Be Con- vened to Select a Provisional Presi- dent in His Stead—Estrada’s Reply Says Recognition of His Govern- ment Is the Only Terms. ‘Washington, Dec. 1.—President Ze- laya has made overtures to the revo- lutionists intimating his willingness to retire from the presidency of Nic- aragua provided congress be allowed to select a provisional president in his stead. This news comes from the United States consul at Bluefields. The dispatch says that a recognized representative of Zelaya has tele- graphed an adroitly worded dispatch to the revolutionists making an over ture that Zelaya, recognizing the weakness of his position, may retire, he first convening congress, all of the delegates to which are named and controlled by him. The purpose in convening congress is the selection of a provisional president. General Estrada has sent the follow ing reply: “The government of General Es trada, completely assured of an ulti mate triumph and much stronger than Zelaya, who, with his accomplices owe reparation to the country, and Estrada being the unanimous choice for president of the Liberal party, aid- ed by the Conservatives, will not ac cept any terms other than the recogni- tion of the provisional government es- tablished.” ) BLOODY DEED OF A MADMAN Kills Two, Wounds Two Others and Ends His Life.

Accordingly Sheriff John F. Haber and Deputy W. H. Farra went to the Weaver home to take the young man into custody and the murders followed.

The notice sent out by Chair- man McLeod informs the association that the railroads of the West, and presumably those in the Fast,”have decided to abolish all reduced rates, beginning Jan. 1, 1910. i The only possible exceptions to the new rule may be the rates which are granted for colonists, homeseckers and summer tourists. All reduced rates for merchants’ meetings, for state fairs, for conventions and gath- erings of all kinds are to be discon- tinued.

The unceasing pain causes con- stant misery, making work a bur- den and stooping or lifting an im- possibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and linaments may give relief but cannot reach the cause. To eliminate the pains and aches you must cure the kidneys, Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them per- manently. Can you doubt Be- midji evidence? Mrs. E. E. Hanks, 223 Park Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: "«I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and the relief I received from their use was very great. There was a dull pain in the small of my back which caused me much suffering. I be- came very dizzy at times and dark spots floated before my eyes. Hearing about Doan’s Kidney Pills, I procured a box at the Owl Drug Store and felt better in every way after using them.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
