JESTER BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA The Pioneer---10¢ per Week LITTLE HOPE FOR THE REGOVERY OF M'KINNON Brother of Naish McKinnon, Who Re- cently Lost Eyesight, Given Up by Physicians. Naish McKinnon has returned from Denver, Col., where he went to ascertain what, if anything, could be done to relieve the afflic- tion which was recently visited upon his brother, William Mec- Kinnon, who was stricken blind and for whom there was reported there was no hope of recovery. According to Naish McKinnon, the doctors at Denver have stated that William’s affliction is 'caused by a tumor or tumorous growth on the underside of the brain which will undouutedly result fatally; that there is but one hope in a hundred and that 1s that the afflicted man’s powerful constitu- tion will assist him in throwing off the poisonous effect of the tumor and he may possibly'get rid of the poison, A William McKinnon had advanced to a high rank in the U.S. forest service, and the officials of that department of the government sent to Denver a noted specialist from the east who will from now-on have charge of Mr. McKinnon. Dan McKinnon of Cass Lake, a brother of Williams, left this morning for Denver and will remain at the bedside of his brother until the final end or until there is some sign of improvement in Williams’ condition. William McKinnon is but 30 years old, and was just beginning a prospective brilliant career in the employment of the government. He is very well known througout this section of the state, and there is sincere regret at his affliction. In District Court.

Rats on Ships. “Are rats destructive? Well,” gald a captain of a merchantman, “I once knew them to get through £5,000 worth of stuff in five days. “Japan does an immense trade with China in cocoons, and the first time I carried such a cargo they were packed in sacks. When we got to Hongkong we found that the rats had discovered that part of a cocoon was good to eat, and the bill for their board came to £5,000. The shipowners were sued for that amount; but, the packing being considered faulty, the clalm was dis- allowed. It was the first and last co- coon feast the rats had, for ever since Japan has packed cocoons in zinc lined cases. “Every time a ship gets back to Liv- erpool a rat catcher is set to clearing out the rats, but by the time we have loaded up again the rodents are every bit as numerous. In some ports we use Tat guards on the ropes, and the ship 1s always fumigated before taking a cargo of fruit or tea. But there is no getting rid of them entirely.”—London Graphie. Not For His.

JEALOUS GOUNT USES - REVOLVER ON TWO Dangerously Wounds New York Actress and Companion. New York, Dec. 16.—Mrs. Lizzie Shapiro, actress, People'’s, theater, on the Bowery, and Max Goldberg, a scene painter here, are in Gouveneur hospital probably fatally wounded, ‘while Jacob Glatsky, who, the police declare, is a Russian count, is under arrest charged with having shot them. The shooting took place following a quarrel in which Glatsky accused Goldberg, who is a married man, of trying to “cut” him out. Glatsky came to this country ten years ago after a lively career in Rus- sla, which resulted in his being ex- Hed. v For the last seven months he has conducted a restaurant on Grand street, which has been a big money maker. He has been attentive to Mrs. Shapiro for some time, her husband having a sult against him at present for alienation of his wife's affections. Since the suit was brought Glatsky has been muoh in Mrs. Shapiro’s com- pany and it is alleged spent large sums of money on her. The woman tired of him, however, and, following the performance, went to a restaurant Wwith Goldberg, after which he accom- panied her to her home on Forsyth street. Glatsky was in an entry across the street and when. the couple reached the hall he crossed and followed them into the vestibule, He fired a bullet through the wo- man’s body and as she sank to her knees the count began pumping bul- lets at Goldberg. Four shots hit him. Telegram Received at Bemidji, Minn. Dated Minneapolis, Minn., Dec: 13. To W. L. Brooks, Pres. Commercial Club.

CAMPAIGN IS OUTLINED 8amuel Gompers Describes What He Believes Will Be a Successful Con- test With the Octopus—Officials of the Billion-Dollar Concern Declare Resolutions of Condemnation ls “One Big Jumble of Words.” Pittsburg, Dec. 16.—“We' are going ahead now on this policy. The cam- paign will be aggressive and will con- tinue until every corporation employe is in our fold. Then we Wwill be in a position to force recognition of our union.” This statement by President Gom- pers of the American Federation of Labor might be taken as the labor view of the resolution declaring war on the United States Steel corpora tion, adopted here by a conference of labor leaders. That the corporation regards the resolution in another light was indi- cated by a statement of a local official, ‘who promptly stamped it as “one big Jjumble of words.” Aside from the denumciation of the steel corporation and the determina- tion to appeal to congress, the presi- dent and the governors of states, labor men point to the fact that the resolu- tion is an appeal for closer organiza- tion and financial assistance for men now striking against the corporation. If the combined forces of the federa- tion can be brought to bear against the corporation the unionizing of its employes is assured, they believe. Steel officials look upon their sys- tem of making employes stockholders in the corporation as a safeguard against any attack the federation may make against them. It'is announced that the committee appointed to lay before President Taft and the members of congress the grievances against the steel corpora- tion would probably go to Washing: ton Jan. 6 or 6. IMMORALITY ON OCEAN LINERS Steamship Companies Deny Report of Immigration Commission. New York, Dec. 16.—Steamship agents here are busy denying the re- port of the immigration commission to congress with regard to steerage conditions on the Transatlantic liners. The report says that men and wo- men are crowded too close together for decency, that women were sub- Jjected to attack and abuse on the part of the steamship employes and that immorality prevails. A woman agent returning in the steerage of a twelve- day ship furnished this most spectacu- lar information. The steamship agents of the Ham- burg-American, the Anchor line, the International Mercantile Marine and Cunard line, say that the report does not strike at them as their ships pro- vide all conveniences for immigrants. LEADS [N COPPER MINING United States . Exported Quantity Last Year. ‘Washington, Dec. 16.—During 1908 the United States contributed more than half of the world’s total produc- tion of copper, the exports of copper from this country being 618,613,842 pounds, the largest amount ever re Immense ‘corded.

MINNESOTA’S WHEAT CROP Production This Year Will Be Nearly 100,000,000 Bushels.

Newcastle, Pa., Dec. 16.—Wives and mothers of twenty-four striking tin- ‘workers who were sentenced to thirty days each in jail after a hearing upon charges of disorderly conduct now threaten to “force themselves to be arrested so they may joln thefr hus- bands and sons behind the bars.

WOMEN WILL TRY TO HAMPER ELECTIONS Suffragettes Threaten Trouble at Coming Gontest in England. London, Dec. 16.—“We will make voting impossible.”—Mrs. Despard of the Women'’s Freedom league. “Our enemies, the men, have paid us the compliment of wondering at our ingenuity in militant tactics. We will show them before the coming general election is over that they have not essed the extent of our resources or trouble making.”—Miss Christobel |, Pankhurst of the National Women’s Social and Political union. These expressions by two of Eng- land’s leading militant suffragettes in- dicate that the coming election will be fraught with the greatest excitement and danger and an attempt will .be made wherever possible to destroy ballot boxes. ; The suffragettes have found an im- petus in the corrosive “bomb,” that is, the “acid bomb,” with which they de- stroyed many ballots at a recent spe- cial election at Bermondsey and near- ly blinded an election officer. They have enlisted the services of a large number of men who have pledged themselves to throw “bombs” inside the booths in which, of course, the wo- men will not gain admission. The suffragettes will concentrate their efforts in the districts where the nominees, mostly Liberals, have shown themselves hostile to the wo- men’s movements.
