Day’s paper, accused Senator Clapp of voting for a ship subsidy bill. John C. Applegate, of the Cannon Falls Beacon, pronounced the charge unture, but the Sentinel would not back water until the Beacon had heard directly from Senator Clapp upon the subject. In the current issue of the Beacon it published the senator’s reply, in which he abso- lutely stated that he never voted for a ship subsidy measure. ‘The leader of Minnesota’s Democ- racy will now be compelled to cease publishing in his excellent paper this particular charge, but inasmuch as he is qui e a foxy proposition it will not be long before he will con- coct similar untrue and ridiculous stories about Republican officials to be sprung whenever it is deemed expedient.—Wadena Pioneer-]Jur- nal. The latest feat of the official *“framer” of the ‘‘kitchen cabinet” was causing to be published in St. Paul and spread broadcast over the state the statement that the result of the recent rizht for the election of a president of the State Fair Board, choosing of Mr. Underwood, was a clean-cut victory for the supporters of Governor Eberhart and a defeat for Robert C. Dunn and his friends. This was followed up by a claim that John King, one of Day’s hench- men, made the election of Mr. Underwood possible. One state- ment was about as near the truth as the other—and both were fabrica- tions, pure and simple. Neither Mr. Duna or Governer Eberhart made one suggestion as to whom they would prefer elected president of the state fair board; and. as to John King controlling the election of a fair president—well, that is certainly refreshing.

Chicago, Jan. 19.—John Farson, the banker, lawyer and clubman, and one of the best known figures in the finan- cial and social world of Chicago, died as the result of heart failure. Mr. Farson was the head of the banking firm of Farson, Son & Co. One spectacular feature was added to the scene about the banker’s death- bed when, three hours before the banker’s demise, John Farson, Jr., ar- rived after a seventeen-hour race with death. As soon as young Farson heard in New York that his father was critical- 1y ill he chartered the special train at & cost of $3,075 and rushed to Chicago. He reached his father’s bedside be- fore the coma of death set in. Convicted Banker Sentenced. Fargo, N. D,, Jan. 19.—Andy Jones, the wrecker of the First National bank of Rugby, N. D, was sentenced by Judge Amidon in the federal court to ten years on each of the thirteen counts of which Jones was convicted. However, as these terms run concur- rently, the sentence is only ten years in length. Block of Buildings Burned. Pottsville, Pa., Jan. 19.—Fire at Ash- land, twenty miles from here, de- stroyed nearly a block of buildings be- fore it was brought under control. Among the buildings destroyed were the opera house and those containing the telegraph and telephone offices. Alleged Black Handers Caught. Chicago, Jan. 1j—Two men were arrested as the result of the receipt of a “Black Hand” letter by Gaetano San- toro of the firm of Santoro & Steffani, grocers. He received the letters de- manding $150 on Thursday. The men arrested are Christino Moffa, nineteen years old, and Gustantino Loners, twenty-two years old. A third man is sought. HIS DISBARMENT IS ASKED Prominent South Dakota Lawyer Faces Charges. Pierre, 8. D., Jan: 19.—Papers have been filed in the supreme court and service has been secured in a disbar ment procedure which promises some of the features of the Fgan case be fore it is finished. The attorney against whom the proceedings have been commenced is George P. Harben of Platte, one of the prominent old time practitioners of the southern part of the state. The order to show cause in the case is made returnable in the supreme court on Wednesday, Jan. 26. Just when the case will be heard on its merits will be settled at the time of the hearing on the order. On account of the prominence of Harben, both in law and politics in the southern part of the state and the manner of the charges made against him by those who seek his disbarment, the case promises to be practically as sensational as has been the Egan dis- barment proceedings. GRAND JURY TO CLEAN CITY Omaha Will Have Investigation of Wickedness. Omaha, Jan. 19.—While Omaha is no more afflicted with crime than other citles of its size and class it ex- ists to such an extent that for the purpose of investigating and ascer- taining where the blame lies a grand Jury has been called for Feb. 1, This will be the first grand jury to convene here In more than two years. OPPOSITION GAINS NOT LARGE ENGUGH Liberals and Laborites Will Gon- trol Parliament, London, Jan. 19.—Completed returns from Monday’s elections for members of parliament made the standing of the parties to date as follows: Government-Coalition—Liberals, 79; Laborites, 17; Irish Nationalists, 16. Opposition — Unionists, 96; et Unionist gain, 30. Unless the Conservatives take a de- cided brace from the demoralization that Monday’s voting indicated the best political forecasters are predict- ing that the Liberals, with the aid of Laborites, will control the next par- liament without calling upon the Irish Nationalists for a single vote. The Conservative ratio is decreas- ing and there are many who believe the total gain will not exceed eighty seats. This estimate is on the basis of practically a solid Liberal represen- tation from Scotland and Wales. As the Laborites themselves are making slight gains the Liberals may be able to lose as many as ninety seats and still retain control, inde- pendent of the Irish Nationalists. While the Liberal leaders expect to work in harmony with the Irish mem- bers there is no disputing the fact that harmony would be a doubtful quantity if the Nationalists clearly held the balance of power. WILL RESUME LAW PRACTICE Governor Hughes Not a Candidate for Re-Election. New York, Jan. 19.—“The announce- ment that I will not be a candidate for the governorship to succeed my- self is entirely accurate. I feel that in justice to my family I should re- sume the practice of law. I am glad to reiterate my appreciation of the CHARLES E. HUGHES. confidence which the citizens of New York have reposed in me.” The foregoing interview with Gov- ernor Charles E. Hughes of New York appears in the Tribune under a Wash- ington date. Before leaving for Wash- Ington Governor Hughes declined to comment on the report that he would not be a candidate for the fovernor- ship again, but his aide had indicated that this was the governor’s decision. WRONG PRESCRIPTION KILLS Druggist Discovers Mistake but Is Too Late to Save Customer. New York, Jan. 19.—Hatless, coat- less and almost insane from anxiety Frank La Scalia, a druggist, spent three terrible hours running about in the wintry air trying to save the life of Filomene Stansiella of Mount Ver- non, to whom by mistake he had de- livered a wrong prescription. In the end La Scalia failed by five minutes to reach the victim of his error and the stricken man died in the Mount Vernon hospital, Postoffice Safe Dynamited. St. Paul, Jan. 19.—For the third time in a year and a half the post- office at North St. Paul was robbed. The safe was demolished by an explo- sion of dynamite, which also blew out the front windows. The burglars ob- tained about $80 in cash and §40 worth of stampa. CANNOT MEET DEMANDS MADE Germany’s Reply to Our New - Tariff Regulations. MAY MEAN A TRADE WAR Peecling In the Kalser's Country That the Resent American Revision Was Designed With the Object of Re- strioting Business With the Empire. Temper of That Country Is Against Making Further Concessions. Berlin, Jan. 19.—The German gov- ernment has cabled to Washington a reply to a memorandum recently re- oeived from the United States relating to the tariff on shipments between the two countries. While it does not ac- [cept the American wishes in various respects, and especially concerning the importation of meat, the German response is sent in the hope that it will be satisfactory and as all that the German government can do. The reply was dispatched with a certain feeling of gravity because of the feeling that Germany can do no more and must be prepared for trade hostilities should the United States, unhappily, insist on more than Ger- many accords to other countries. Chanceilor von Bethmann-Hollweg and his associates, the imperial min- isters, appear convinced that the com- bined Conservative, Center and Nation- al Liberal- parties of the reichstag CHANCELLOR .VON BETHMANN- HOLLWEG. ‘would block the way to any departure from the present laws covering the importation of meats. The govern- -ment has received the opinions of the leaders of those parties and moreover | has gathered widely the views of manufacturing interests. It is cited at this time that in pro- mulgating the American-German tariff agreement in 1907 President Roose- velt stated that Germany was giving to the United States more than she was receiving. It is further pointed out that now, the American tariff revision having been made, as is constantly asserted in all quarters, with the design of limit- ing German trade with the United Btates, and a request being made that Germany shall make further impossi- ble concessions, the general temper of the country, as indicated by the cham- bers of commerce, the reichstag, finan- cial journals and the governmental special inquiries, is steadfast in what 18 considered a sound position, namely, to take whatever comes. LAKE SHIP COMPANY FAILS Glichrist Transportation Corporation in Hands of Receivers. Cleveland, Jan. 19.—Judge Tayler has appointed General George A. Gar- retson, president of the Bank of Com- merce, and S. P. Shane, general man- ager of the Gilchrist Transportation company, receivers of the Gilchrist ‘‘ransportation company, a $10,000,000 corporation. Each was placed under $60,000 bond. The Gilchrist company is one of the largest vessel owners on the Great Lakes. It owns fifty-seven steamers and four barges. Heavy loans negotiated during the past two years are largely responsible for the failure. COOK'S NERVES SHATTERED Explorer Said to Be in a Sanitarium in Germany.

BRYAN'S FRIENDS AT ONGE DENY REPORT Announced That Nebraskan Will Be Candidate in 1912, Omaha, Jan. 19.—“William J. Bryan will be a candidate for president in 1912.” This announcement was made by the Omaha Bee, with the explanation that the statement is attributed to Richard L. Metcalf, editor of Mr. Bry- an’s Commoner. It is further said that the Democratic leaders in Ne- braska are being called to the Com- moner office and-told the news, with the order that they get out and work for his nomination. Under no circumstances will Mr. Bryan be a candidate for the United States senate, is the announcement made with the report that Mr. Bryan again will be a candidate for the pres- idency. Men close to Mr. Bryan at Lincoln denied that any moveiient was mak- ing for his candidacy for the presi- dency in 1912. Richard L. Metcall said: “I have no idea that Mr. Bryan has any thought of being a candidate in 1912. I have not issued any summons to any politicians nor held any con- ferences. I have always believed that the people of Nebraska would insist upon Mr. Bryan being the Democratic nominee for senator regardless of his personal wishes.” Troops Charged With Sedition.

Case of Chicago Banker Be- fore Highest Court, REFUSES TO INTERFERE Attorneys for Aged Banker Had Asked United States Supreme Courtito Re- view the Proceedings, but the Peti- tion Is Denied—Every Legal Weap- on Used in Fight to Avoid Serving Prison Term. ‘Washington, Jan. 1?.—The supreme court of the United States has denied the petition for a writ of certiorari filed récently by John R. Walsh of Chicago, the banker convicted of financial irregularities and sentenced to serve five years in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan. The supreme-court declined to re- view the case and United States Dis- trict Attorney Sims will at once ask JOHN R. WALSH. the United States circuit court of ap- peals for a mandate committing the banker and he may be removed to the prison within the next twenty-four hours. ‘Walsh is ready. Following the re- ceipt by him of vague rumors from ‘Washington offering little hope he spent all of Sunday arranging his af- fairs. All day long, with two deputy United States marshals standing near, he sat at his desk signing papers and settling up financial matters in con- nection with the failure of his three banks in 1905. Long Fight to Avoid Prigon: Since Jan. 18, 1908, Walsh has em- ployed every legal weapon in a bitter struggle to avoid a prison term. He was convicted on fifty-four counts of an indictment involving nine series of transactions, the loaning of the money of three Walsh enterprises—the Chi- cago National bank, Home Savings bank and Equitable Trust company— on memorandum notes and the pur- chase of bonds of the Illinois South- ern and Wisconsin and Mlchlgm rail- roads. According to the prosecution these “memorandum notes” were issued for an amount just below the legal limit, usually for $92,000, and were signed ‘with the names of certain of Walsh’s employes without their knowledge or consent. The collateral for these notes was the bonds of Walsh’s personal enterprises, which the government contended were practically worthless. The notes, it was claimed, were to be discounted in the banks, cashier’s checks made out to a dummy and then deposited by Walsh to his own credit in the bank and the money later used to further his private en- terprises. The indictment against ‘Walsh contained 182 counts and was returned Jan. 1, 1907. It charged mis- appropriation of $7,000,000. His case was called Nov. 12, 1907, and the jury declared Walsh guilty on Jan. 17, 1908, sustaining these counts and naming his misappropriation at $1,000,000. On March 13 motion for a new trial was overruled and the former banker sentenced to five years’ imprisonment in the Leavenworth penitentiary. On Oct. 5 the circuit court of appeals afirmed the decision of the lower court, Several weeks ago a petition for a writ to review the case was pre- sented to the supreme court of the United States by Attorney John S. Miller for Walsh. TRUST OFFICER IS INDICTED Federal Grand Jury Finds Against Man “Higher Up.” New York, Jan.

In our opinion, most people suffering from debility have catarrh. Such cases of debility cannot be com- pletely cured by medicine not de- signed to eradicate catarrh. In every case where our remedy fails to give entire satisfaction we will not charge a cent for the medicine employed during the trial. Now, surely no one should hesitate to believe us or to put our claim to a practical test under such condi- tions, We will take all the risk; no one else can lose anything by the transaction. We make these statements and this offer because we khow and have time and again proved that Rexall Mucu-Tone rarely fails to do as we claim. It is not a cure- all prescribed to cure every disease that flesh is heir to. Itis intend- ed for one purpose, i. e, to cure catarrh by assailing the diseased condition in areasonable, scientific way, which is to employ agents that have been found to have the tonic and alterative power to correct faulty metabolism (tissue change) and to stimulate and help nature overcome the cause or causes of catarrh, This being done, appetite increases, nutrition improves, weight is gained, com- fort of body is attained and life’s work is taken up with the zest natural to the perfectly healthy individual.
