The street gang could clean it out, grade the bankand fix it up fora park with very little expense. Congressman Halvor Steenerson has grown largelyin the estimation of the people of the Ninth district within the past two years, Asa matter of fact a great many voters never took the trouble to size up ability of the brainy congressman and two years ago allowed person- al sentiment to govern their ballot, Congressman Steenerson has a record of always being on the side of the people in public matters and has never been tainteq in the least with corporations, He has every incentive to serve the people fearlessly and faithfully. Finan. cially he has all he needs, and his career in Congress can have but one aim- - -devoted service to his country.- - —Roseau Times, Out of about 250 business men in this city,only 50 or60are membersof the Commercial club. This isabout twenty-five per cent, much too small for a city as live as Bemidji. The Commercial club should be, and the members want it to be, the official body of the business men of the city, but it cannot live up to that ideal with but one man in every four a member. In the past, the work of the club has been left to do by a few hands and it has becore something of a burden. With a membership of 200, the work could be divided among committees in such a manner that the burden would be equally distri- buted. Some one has suggested that one committee have charge of advertising the city, another should see to financies, another to new mem- bers, and so on, The meeting Thursday night should be well attended. Every member should feel it his duty and business men who are not members should attend and be prepared to join. Several crises in city affairs are being approached and if Bemidji is to come out on top, it must have a strong organization of the business men to help it meet these problems. The Commercial club can be that organization. It is strong now with 50 members. Think of what it could do with four times as many. Tomorrow afternoon, the council will head a delegation. of citizens before the board of county com- missioners to ask that the question of city or county cdre of poor be submitted to & vote of the people this fall. The members of the council are anxious® that a large number be present as the board must be shown that the city is vitally: in- terested. At present Bemidji is paying over $5000 per year for care of the poor. This is more than any other city of the same size in this state is now paying. The reason is that all of the paupers flock to Bemidji because they know they will be cared for while the other towns refuse to provide for them. By getting the question on the ballots this. fall, the councilmen hope to be able. to vote a change back to the county system. Under that system, the county will establish. a poor farm and care for all of the poor of the county, the cities:pay- ing a share by a tax. This would distribute. the burden equally in- stead of having it borne by Bemidji {alone. That the present system is not fair to this city can be easily seen. Those who know the commissioners feel that it needs only to.be brought to their atttention and they will allow the electors to decide whether or not they want the change. The board does not make the change:. It merely places the question on the ballots. The matter is vital to every citizen and the council should have a good backing tomorrow after- noon. THE SHOOTING OF MAYOR GAYNOR. A blinding cloud of flame light- ed powder, a resounding crack and the screech of a bullet marked the dramatic close-- temporary, or forever——of the activities: of the man who has dragged New York from its municipal mire into a pur- er political atmosphere and a more wholesome city government, And when the wires of the world ticked out the details af this spec- tacular tragedy on the deck of the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse, civilized humanity shud- dered at the horror of it all, and then came from all corners.of the earth soul stirring messages of sympathy and oft repeated hopes for the recovery of Gotham’s great mayor. That William J. Gaynor attained his distinction as the result of a de- termined, at times daring, policy:of real reform, is admitted by men of all political parties.

(DBLERR A HEAD FOR SIGNATURES Choctaw Indian Tells of Mc- Murray’s: Methods. SECURED NAMES letneu Before Investigating Commit- tee Relates How Attorney Hired Him to Induce. Other Members of Tribe to. Sign Contracts—Says In- dians Had Become Discouraged Over Alleged Dilatory Methods of the Government. McAlester, Okla.,, Aug. 9.—How the contracts were procured by which, ac- cording to Senator Thomas P. Gore, $3,000,000 in attorneys’ fees was to be made out of the sale of land given to the Indians by the government, was related: before: the special congression- al investigating committee. ‘W. T. Hollman, a Choctaw Indian, testified he had been employed by J. F. McMurray, holder of the contracts, to go out among the Oklahoma lndians and induce them to sign the docu- ments. At the same time Hollman re- lated he was paid “a dollar a head” for securing contracts appointing Me- Murray to act in tax cases. In this way McMurray procured 10,000 con- tracts to sell land. “The terms were 10 per cent attor- neys' fees, or $3,000,000 profit for Mec- Murray and his associates. To pro- mote this deal in congress Senator ‘Gore contends he was offered a $25, 000 or $50,000 bribe. Hollman. testified that he himselt had signed the 10 per cent contract because he, in common with other In- dians, had become discouraged on the government’s promise to. sell the land. “I would have given 25 per cent to McMurray,” said Hollman, “if he could have got us the money quickly.” He said he believed some of the ITu dians would be willing to give Mec- Murray 75 per cent. Big Plum for McMurray. Questioned further Hollman tesified it was the belief of the Indians that their property was worth from $30, 000,000 to $40,000,000 and that the un- derstanding was McMurray was to get 10 per cent of this. “Is it the belief of the Indians that McMurray had some power at Wash- ington by which he would bé able to get results more quickly than if you left it to the government?” asked Congressman L. W. Saunders of Vir- ginia. “We didn’t know how he was going to do it, but he thought he knew how " was the answer. D. C. McCurtain, a Choctaw Indian and an attorney for his tribe, went on the stand and reiterated his charges that McMurray in 1906, in the lobby of the Raleigh hotel in Washington, had offered him a $25,000 bribe to with- draw tribal opposition to old contracts which were disapproved by President Roosevelt. In a statement to the committee and without going on the stand McMurray declared that the contracts came to him originally against his desires: He said the Indians at a “war council” had demonstrated their impatience at the government’s alleged slowness in the selling of the land and had called on him to take the job at 10 per cent, which he did with reluctance. Me- Murray will go ou the stand later, WHY SO WEAK? Kidney Troubless May be Sapping Your Life Away. Bemidji People Have Learned This Fact.

Bilbao, Spain, Aug. 9.—Six thousand rifles were seized . by the. authorities on board a tug which had been char- tered to go to San Sehastian, where the great anti-government demonstra- tion was proposed. to be held before the clerical leaders ubandoned the manifestation, Local authorities at San Sebastian had held that the Carlists were plan- ning to take advantage of the Catholic manifestation to start a movement against the government. No state- ment, however, is- made a8 to which party to the conflict chartered the tug and loaded it with arms. San Sebastian, Spain, Aug. 9.—The city continues tranquil, no further at- tempt at demonstration having been made since a group of the more hot- headed adherents gathered on the streets with shouts of “Death to Spain, long live the pope.” The troops, however; will remain in the summer céapital for several days. The authorities express the greatest confidence. that'the fiaseo.of-the antl- governmental manifestations marks the end of Carlism and of any attempt at an insurrection in favor of the pre- ‘tender.

The mayor retained . consciousness and later examination by the physicians, when the mayor was taken to the hos- pital, gave a more hopeful outlook. Vietim: Posing for Picture. The shooting occurred under cir- ‘cumstances of the most dramatic char- acter. Mayor Gaynor came aboard the steamer acecompanied by a number of city officials who were about to bid him goodby: on his trip abroad. The party proceeded to the upper deck and was assembled in a group, giving final greetings. Crowds of passengers were about on:deck.and with friends.waving adleu from the pier. The mayor's party was. about to. have a picture taken. Suddenly a stranger pushed through the throng from the rear. He ap- proached the mayor-and without a word began to fire. The shots rang out’ in quick succession. Instantly there was the greatest excitement and confusion. Mayor Gaynor was seen to fall to the: deck and the gushing wound told that he had been hit. At the same moment a ship guard sprang forward and dealt the assassin a blow on the head with a billy; fell- ing him to the deck, where officers quickly siezed him. He was turned over to the Hoboken police and taken at once-to police headquarters. There he gave the name of Gallagher and in response to inquiries as to why he had committed the deed he replied sul- lenly: Gives His Reason for Act. “He kept me from earning my bread and butter.” Meantime Mr. Gaynor had been car- ried to a stateroom. He remained conscious, but breathed heavily. He was calm, but apparently apprehen- sive that the wound was grave. An ambulance was summoned to the pier and the wounded man was placed on a stretcher and carried to the ambu- lance. The vehicle was driven to St. Mary’s hospital, Hoboken, where the mayor was still conscious and occa- gionally spoke to those about him. To the city officials who accompa- nied him to the hospital he indicated the gravity with which he viewed the shot by saying, “Say goodby to the people.” The hospital physicians made a careful examination of the wound. Their conclusion agreed with that of the ship’s surgeon that the injury was not necessarily fatal. It was found that the bullet had en- tered the mayor's neck back of the ear, burying itself in the region of the mastoid bone. The bullet was not located and no effort was made to probe until the arrival of a New York surgeon. Gaynor Calm and Collected. The mayor remained calm and col- lected.. His chief difficulty came from the gathering of blood in his throat. After the ministrations of the phy- sicians Mr. Gaynor expressed himself as_feeling reasonably comfortable, It was learned later that Street Cleaning Commissioner W. 0. Ed- wards was, slightly wounded by one of the bullets intended for Mr. Gaynor. Edwards, who was standing by the mayor, seized Gallagher’s arm. One of the bullets passed through the com- missioner’s sleeve and grazed his left arm. The wound, however, was s? slight that Mr. Edwards only discov- ered it after the excitement had sub- sided. Gallagher, the mayor's assailant, was taken before Recorder McGovern. He displayed little emotion. “He deprived me of my bread and butter,” said the discharged dock. em- ploye. “I did not want porterhouse steak,” he added. Recorder McGovern held the prison- er without bail to await the result of the mayor's injuries. Was-Dismissed for Neglect. Gallagher was appointed a watch- man in the New York city dock de- partment April 7, 1903. He was dis- charged July 19, 1910, after having been found guilty of neglect of duty and: misconduct. Among his other transgressions. was._ the fact that he failed' to punch the dial on the time clock that recorded his presence. He ‘was also charged with using insulting language to an inspector. Since his discharge Gallagher has been writing letters to the mayor: The attempt, to assassinate. the may- or caused great excitement. The prominence of the executive in recent months in city affairs, and to a great extent in state and. national affairs, attracted widespread attention. Everywhere the news of the at- tempt on his life was. received with evidence of profound regret. In all public places, the hotels, the financial districts, clubs and subways, the af- fair was the absorbing topic. One of the first dispatches of condolence was from Colonel Roosevelt, expressing horror and indignation at the crime. Reform in City Affairs. Willilam J. Gaynor, then a judge, was elected mayor of New York in 1909. From the date of his election to the office of mayor to the present day Judge Gaynor kept up his work of reform. Within sixty days after he assumed office on Jan. 1 of the present year he cut off the heads of 429 Tammany politiclans who were on the municipal payroll. One hundred and twenty-five of these went to the block on the same day. time the new mayor cut off salaries aggregating: $855,000 a year and had inaugurated measures to save the tax- payers of the city an aggregate of $20,000,000 a year, and he had only begun to work, He was nominated and presumably elected by Tammany, but if that or- ganization had any particular influ- has not been apparent. Mayor Gay- nor himself said to the papers that Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany chieftan, had inade only one sugges- tion to him and that was that he ap- point the best men to be found, of- 'fering no suggestions as to candi- dates.

Buflington, Ta;; Aug. 9.—One of the most remarkable situations in rivef trafic cver known on the Upper Mis: sissippl has developed in the middlé of the steamer traffic season. For the first time in thé history of the river the regular passenger steamers have had to abandon any attempt to navi- gate the stream from St. Louls to St. Paul. The last boat to make the attempt this season was the Diamond Jo line packet Dubnque, which left St.. Louis with a heavy load of passengers and freight. It got nearly to Quiney when it became stalled on a sandbar and after five hours managerl to proceed on its way. Ncar Montrose, Ia., it again stranded and ufter another five hours was able to continue as far a3 Fort Madison, when it turned its pas- sengers over to the railroads and its freight to the lighter packets and started on its return to St. Louis, where it went to the bank for the re- mainder of the season.
