McDONALD HERE SATURDAY Was Taken Into Country For Purpose of Getting Photographs of Aec- tual Farm Scenes. T. L. McDonald, chief clerk of the immigration department of the Great Northern railway, was in Bemidji Saturday on work connected with the new booklet that rosd is to issue in the near future to boom Miunesota farm lands.

Atlanta, July 30.—Mrs. Daisy Opie ‘Grace’s trial on a charge of shoot- ing her young husband moved for-| ward swiftly today. Within two hours after she had entered a plea of “not guilty” a jury had been ob- tained and the prosecution had begun the introduction of testimony. When court adjourned the sixth witness was being examined. More than twenty others have been sum- moned but it is doubtful if the pro- secution will call them all. Grace’s entrance into the court room stretched on a cot, furnished the one dramatic moment of the day. Mrs. Grace brought face to face with her husband for the first time since the night of her arrest paled and trem- bled. Her nurse administered a hypo- dermic which seemed to restore her. Grace showed no sign of recognition. Subsequently he manifested a lively interest in the proceedings, conferr- ing often with the prosecutor. Never once, however, did he glance in his wife’s direction. Witnesses did not bring out developments of impor- tance. The police who forced thei way into Grace's room after bein: summoned by a telephone, told of finding the injured man in his bed with a bullet wound in his side and the discovery of the revolver, a car- tridge in one chamber of which had been exploded. Lester Chandler Wanted. A warrant has been placed in the hands of Sheriff Hazen for the arrest of Lester Chandler who is said to have caused the death on Sunday morning of a horse belonging to Henry Merryman. The horse was no- ticed sick about 6 a. m. Sunday morn- ing and had the ear-marks of colic. Treatment for colic failed to relieve the animal and it soon died. A post- mortem revealed that its intestines had been perforated with a sharp in- strument. Chandler’s hat and coat were found in the barn and it is be- lieved that if apprehended he would be able to throw some light on the horse’s death. |Ray Murphy of Bemidji, and has vis- |ited here in the past. and went | HAMILTON W.

YOSHIHITO SUCCEEDS T0 THRONE Tokio, July 30.—Mutsuhito, em- |peror of Japan, died today at 12:43 a. m. Acute nephritis was given as the cause of death. The crown prince, Yoshihito, has succeeded to the throme. Mutsuhito was still alive last evening, although he had been un- conscious since dawn. His heart continued to beat and he made occa- sional feeble movements with his hands. All the imperial princes wha have been in the vieinity of the emperor's palace since the beginning of the se- rious period of his illness on July 19, were summoned to the sick chamber Sunday evening and remained there till late yesterday. They were present at the confer- ence by the court physicians, who found that his majesty’s pulse was very feeble. The pulse beats had in- creased to 146. The imperial pati- ent’s fingers and toes had turned to a purple hue.. His respiration and temperature were unchanged. A further examination at 3 o’clock Monday afternoon showed his majes- ty’s condition unchanged. At 10 o'clock Monday night the physicians’ bulletin said that the em- peror’s temperature had increased and that his condition had become more serious. Prince Sadnaru Fushimi, the em- Deror’s cousin, and three of the other princes left the palace for a short rest, but the crown prince and most of the cabinet ministers remained in a room adjoining the sick cham- ber. The crowds outside the palace con- tinued to increase Monday and num- bered at least 10,000 persons at 10 o'clock Monday evening, Sentenced to Sixty Days.

St. Paul, July 30.—Progressive Re- Ppublicans from all sections of Minne- . sota gathered at St. Paul this morn- ing for the state convention which is being held today to name twelve men to represent Minnesota in the Chi- cago national convention August 5. There will be one delegate from each congressional district and three chos- en at large. According to a program arranged at a conference of the leaders last night, Judge Milton D. Purdy, of Minneapolis, is to be named tempor- ary chairman and J. F. Jacobson of Madison, as permanent chairman. The business of the convention is also to select twelve men to be nominated as presidential electors by petition, on a Roosevelt independent ticket, men nominated for electors on the Republican ticket May 16 to be trans- ferred as far as possible, Hugh T. Halbert of St. Paul last night declared that there is no chance of the convention indorsing S. Y. Gor- don or any other candidate for gov- ernor. “I don’t believe such a thing will be attempted,” said Mr. Halbert, “but if it should be, there would be stren- uous opposition and it would never go through. The convention will stick to national questions.” The slate for delegates-at-large to Chicago has been M. D. Purdy, Hugh T. Halbertland J. F. Jacobson, but Mr. Halbert declared last night that it P. V. Collins of Minneapolis desires to go as a representative of the far- mers, he will step aside. “In that case I would go as a district dele- gate,” said Mr. Halbert, “but if someone else wants to go as a dis- triet delegate from the Fourth dis- trict, I should step aside again and &0 to Chicago just as an individual.” Efforts have been made to get a number of outside speakers, but they have not been successful. Word has been received from Henry F. Coch- ems of Milwaukee, former LaFollette supporter, that he has been placed in charge of the national speakers’ bureau for the Roosevelt campaign, s0 he will not be able to eome. A telegram was sent today to Judge W. S. Lauder of Wahpeton, N. D, urg- ing him to come. It was asserted Monday night that 2 number of former LaFollette fol- lowers will join the third party in Minnesota. C. B. Maben of Wealth- Wwood was named as one who will at- tend the’ convention. Mr. Halbert called attention once more to the fact that the convention is a mass con- vention and not a delegate affair, so that it is open to all voters who want to affiliate with the new party. It is probable that the selectfon of electors and delegates to Chicago will be delegated to a committee, and there will also be a committee on Tesolutions which will adopt a plat- form appealing to the electorate of the state. e — MINNESOTA
