\ } f (iti siernaigian ON THE VERGE OF BREAK DOWN NERVOUS PROSTRATION THREAT- ENS MRS. CHADWICK, THE FINANCIER. CARNEGIE NOT CONSULTED EXPECTED CONFERENCE WITH FEDERAL OFFICERS DOES NOT OCCUR. WILL TRY TO SETTLE CASE MRS. CHADWICK HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SETTLE CLAIMS. New York, Dec. 7. — The expected did not happen last night, and all pre- dictions proved at fault when at a late hour it was announced that no confer- ence between federal officers and An- drew Carnegie had been held at the latter's home. This turn was surprising, for Mr. Carnegie had announced in the course of the day that he would be glad to re- ceive a federal officer and it was sup- »osed that F. F. Oldham, representing the controller of the treasury, would meet him last night, and that the mat- ter of the notes alleged to have been given Ira Reynolds of Cleveland and said to bear the name of Andrew Carnegie would be discussed. Mrs. Chadwick Moves. As unexpected as the news that no conference was held was the depar- ture of Mrs. Chadwick from the Hol- land house, where she has resided, for the New Amsterdam hotel. She was accompanied py her son and a maid, and took with her some baggage. Secret service men who have been at the Holland for several days followed Mrs. Chadwick. She changed her ho- tel against the orders of her physician, Dr. A. A. Moore, who visited her at least twice yesterday. After his even- ing call the phy an said Mrs. Chad- wick was in such a condition that he believed her on the verge of nervous prostration. He feared that if the ex- citement attending the case continued much longer Mrs. Chadwick would break down entirely. Andrew Squire, a Cleveland attor- ney representing Ira Reynolds, made the announcement last night after several conferences with Receiver Lyon, Mr. Oldham and others, that he believed there would be No Further Developments in the case before to-day, and also that Mr. Oldham had _ returned to Washington. This announcement was the first indication that there would not be a meeting at Mr. Carnegie’s home Jast night. Stories of a possible arrest in the case were still current last evening, but so far as known no warrant has been issued. From present indications every ef- fort will be made by Mrs. Chadwick's friends to-day to settle the case. It was said last night by one interested in her affairs that Mrs. Chadwick has at the present time much more than enough to settle those claims which have been made up to this time. Her counsel said that she was worth over $1,000,000. REGISTRATION LISTS LOST. Independents Accuse Congdon’s Friends of Theft.

San Francisco, Dec. 7. — Nothing further has been discovered in regard to the missing $15,000 which disap- peared from the local office of the Wells-Fargo company recently.

PERSONS ARE CONVICTED AS OUTCOME OF TRIAL AT PORTLAND. ONE WOMAN IS ACQUITTED FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE COURT TO THE JURY. GET READY TO TAKE APPEAL JURY MAKES NO RECOMMENDA- TIONS AS. TO PUNISH- MENT. Portland, Or., Dec. 7—-The jury in the land fraud cage which has been occupying the attention of Judge Bel- linger’s court for over two weeks brought in a verdict of guilty for all the defendants with the exception of Miss Marie Ware, yesterday after- noon, after forty-five minutes’ delib- eration. No recommendations as to punishment were made. Miss Ware was acquitted, following the instruc- tions by the court. The verdict of the jury follows: “We, the jury, find the defendants, Emma L. Watson, S. A. D. Puter, Horace G. McKinley, D. W. Tarpley and Frank H. Wolgamot, guilty ef the -ecrime of conspiracy to Defraud the Government out of a part of its\public lands situ- ated in township 11 south of range 7 east, as charged. We find the defend- ant Marie L. Ware not guilty.” Mr. Hall asked that the defendants be placed under additional bonds in this case, but the court decided that a bond of $4,000 in the present case would be ample, and therefore or- dered that such security be given. This will place the defendants each under $4,000 bonds for each of the three cases, with the exception of Tarpley and Wolgamot, who do not figure in the succeeding cases. There is no doubt that an appeal will be taken. The attorneys for the defense now are preparing their mo- tion and will in all probability present it at the opening of the next case on Dec. 13.

INDORSED BY PANAMANS. Ratification of the Agreement Is Fol- lowed by Demonstration. Panama, Dec. 7. — A supplemental agreement signed yesterday morning between Secretary of War Taft and President Amador and Foreign Min- ister Guardia, provides that after Dec. 12 no cargoes can be landed at the canal ports except on presenting a Panama consular invoice from the port.of shipment. The original plans for a popular demonstration in the public square in celebration of the ratification of the agreement were carried out last night. Secretary Taft made a speech during which he con- gratulated the republic on selecting the distinguished physician, Dr. Ama- dor, for president and a leading law- yer and jurist as vice president, thus indicating the desire of the people that the civil authorities should be superior to the military and that the army should be only an instrument to the support of the civil government.

The Minnesota Immigration society has issued an appeal to the people of ; the state for co-operation in advertis- ing the advantages Minnesota offers to the intending immigrant. The ap- peal says: “It is calculated, by competent ob- servers, that during the last tenyears, we have failed to secure for this state, an additional population of at least a million, who might by proper effort, have been induced to make the North Star State their ‘place of residence. The desirability of increasing our pop- ulation is manifest. Such increase materially adds to the productive ca- pacity’of the state, and increased pro- duction means, a greater comfort for all, as well as increased, ability to pay taxes, and to sustain, in proper man- ner, educational and political institu- tions. It also means an increase of consuming capacity, which insures a grand benifit to the manufacturing afid commercial enterprises. All that is necessary to turn the tide of wholesome American immigration toward Minnesota is to meet the ad- vertising competion devoted. to the | benefit of other localities, and to make known, by systematic effort, the tran- scendent advantages which Minneso- ta offers to honest, industrious, ener- getic and progressive people of all races and all classes. This is the land of sunshine. It is the land of untold potential wealth. Upon its soil the nutritious grasses can be grown. The lands of the state are suitable for all kinds of tillage, as well as for grazing and stock raising. All the conditions essential to the advantageous prose- cution of dairy enterprises are mani- festly abundant. Within the borders of the state are great areas of hard- wood timber land and pine land. Un- derneath the soil are found vast de- posits of valuable minerals. The state is traversed by thousands of running streams, studded with countless springs, and the sky is mirrored in lakes myriad in number and unsur- passed in beauty. To such a region we may, in good conscience, invite the wanderers of the earth, knowing that their coming hither will prove a bless- ing to themselves and a benefit to our- selves.” BIG PRICE FOR STATE LANDS. State Auditor Sells One Tract for $24 Per Acre. A forty-acre tract of state land in Kanabec county was sold for $24 an acre by As W. Thompson, deputy state auditor. The price is one of the high- est prices ever received for state land. The tract was unimproved, but the bidding was especially keen. The sale was completed Saturday in Kanabec county, where 1,880 acres; were sold. At the Benson county sale, held Friday, 200 acres were sold, a total for the three weeks’ sale of 19,200 acres out of 50,000 acres offered. Nearly all the land listed for sale | in some counties was bought by local bidders. Where the sales were small, | as in Isanti, Sherburne and Anoka counties, the lands offered were of in- | ferior character. A complete list of | land sold in each county follows: Morris, 200 acres; Cass, 2,240; Aitkin, 5,280; Pine, 4,920; Carlton, 4,000; Isanti, 120; Sherburne, 40; Anoka, 200; Benton, 200, and Kanabec, 1,880. The avérage price-paid for land was $6.50 per acre, which is in most cases $1.50 above the appraised value of the Jand. Most of the tracts were ap- praised at $5 per acre, although a few were valued as high as $6. Preparations are now being made for the sale of state stumpage, which will be held next month. This sale in- cludes ties, cordwood and timber on tracts of land containing less than 10,- 000 feet. State Auditor Iverson is | checking over the list of stumpage to be sold. INSPECTS DRAINAGE DITCHES. P. E. Hanson Returns From Northern ° Trip. Pp. E. Hanson, secretary of state, has just returned to St. Paul from North. | ern Minnesota, where he inspected a | number of the state darinage ditches. “I found that there was little inter- est or concern over politics in the | north,” he said. There is little talked | about in the woods now except how t kill a moose, fell a. tree or dig a drain. | In one of the towns near the woods the electors did not even vote at the last election.” Mr. Hanson reports activity in the woods and prospects for a busy win- | ter. The work of constructing ditches is progressing very rapidly in the northern part of the state and, he says, the people are sworn converts to the cause of state drainage. LUNATIC KILLS HIMSELF. Orrock (Minn.) Man Blows Off Top of Head With Gun. Elk River, Minn., Dec. 1. — Frank A.

He had been dis- charged from the Fergus Falls hospi- tal for the insane, where he had been ‘for a month. A few hours after reaching home he tried to cut his throat, but was prevented by his | father. OE al ices Maa a Rey best grain and the most luxuriant and |, \‘few days. WILLIAMS FOR CHIEF CLERK. St. Paul Newspaper Man After Legis- lative Job. An interesting pre-legislative con- test for the office of chief clerk of the house of representatives of the Min- nesota legislaturé has been started through the candidacy of Willis L. Williams of St. Paul, editor of the St. Paul Trade, for that position. Mr. Williams has as his opponent Julius Schmahl of Redwood Falls, publisher of the Redwood Falls Gazette. Mr. Schmahl has held the office three terms, and also resides in the same county and district: with Hon. Frank Clague, who at present has no opposi- tion for speaker. These facts and the further fact that Mr. Williams has al- ways been a hard worker in the Re* publican ranks, but has never hereto- fore asked for office of any kind, lead his friends to believe that he will be able to win the fight over Mr. Schmahl. WILLIS L. WILLIAMS. Candidate for Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives. Mr. Williams has an extensive ac- quaintance throughout the state, and he has many friends among the mem- bers of the legislature. Much of his newspaper work in St. Paul was in connection with the legislature. As advertising agent for the Omaha rail- road he also came in contact with men and newspapers throughout the state. Later he was editor of a Republican paper at Glencoe. A number of leading Republicans throughout the state met at the Mer- chants hotel in St. Paul Monday and assured him of their support, and they will work from now until the matter is settled in his behalf. Mr. Williams’ strong backing and his recognized fitness for the position are strong factors in his favor that will be given due consideration by the members of the house in making their choice. HUNTERS KILL LESS BIG GAME. Secure 4,000 Less Deer and Moose Than in 1903. The state game and fish commission estimates that between 6,000 and 7,000 deer and moose were killed in Min- nesota during the open season for big game, which has just closed. As far as can be ascertained only two cari- bou were killed. The number of big game animals killed this season was probably between 3,000 and 4,000 less than last year. The records of S. F. Fullerton, ex- ecutive agent of the state game and fish commission, show that in 1903 about 10,000 deer were shot by hold- ers of 8,900 licenses. fl The returns from the county auditors on the li- censes sold have not yet been re- ceived, but it is estimated from the number that were sent the counties, the number of hunters in the woods this fall was greater than exer be- fore. Thus far only fifty-four deer and twenty-nine moose have been shipped out of the state by the holders of non- resident licenses, but a heavy ship- ment is looked for during the next There has been a large number of non-resident hunters in the state this season. About 195 small game non-resident licenses were is- sued, and 169 big game non-resident licenses. The only non-resident huntress in the state this year is a Miss A. F. King from a town in Iowa, who was accompanied by her small brother as a body guard. She shot a big moose and her brother shot a small moose. The department is now issuing li- censes for the whitefish season and for fish houses on the ice. One entire Indian family have secured licenses for white fiish fiishing. The number of white fish licenses issued to date is 408. OIL LINE PROJECTED. Fluid to Be Piped From the Kansas Fields to Chicago. Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 2.—To pipe oil from the oil fields of Kansas to Chicago, crossing Missouri, Iowa and Illinois, is the task of the Prairie Oil and Gas eompany, which yesterday paid into the treasury of Iowa a fee of $2,500 for the privilege of crossing this state. The line is now being built, following the line of the Atchison, To‘ peka &,Santa Fe railroad. The home of the company is at Neodosha, Kan. - _ EVERY WALK IN LIFE. ‘A. A. Boyce, a farmer, living three and a half miles from Trenton, Mo., says: “A se- vere cold set- tled in my kidneys and developed so quickly that I was obliged to lay off work on ac- count of the aching in my back and sides. For a time I was d every make- shift I tried and all the medicine I took had not the slightest effect. My back continued to grow weaker until I be gan taking Doan’s Kidney Pills, and I must say I was more than surprised and gratified to notice the back ache disappearing gradually until it finally stopped.” Doan’s Kidney Pills sold by all dealers or mailed on receipt of price. 50 cents per box.

SEAL SOR oie Ree Se Effects of Sleep. Some amusing stories are told of lit- tle contempts brought about by sleep- ers in chureh being suddenly awak- ened. For instance, there is the case of a Scottish pastor who, in the course of his address, had waxed very eloquent on the subject of the vanity of earthly pleasures. “And what is the price of them?” he was saying, in his most impressive tones; “what, my friends, is the price we have to pay for these social pleas- ures?” “Fower-and saxpence the sack,” shouted a worthy greengrocer, sudden- ly waking up with the impression that potatoes were the subject of discus- sion. Another incident occurred in a church in the Sout hof England. The minister was holding forth as to the folly of half-heartedness and want of purpose. “Let ‘Onward’ be our watchword, my brethren,” he said. “Let us be ever moving forward. Let us advance (very impressively), advance, advance.” At this moment the local auctioneer slowly staggered to his feet, and, to the amusement of the congregation and the horror of the pastor, began ponderously thumping. the shelt in front of him. “Come, gentlemen,” he vociferated. “Any advance? Any advance on the last bid? Going, go—” Here he awoke to the situation. HAPPY CHILDHOOD. Right Food Makes Happy Children Because They Are Healthy. Sometimes milk does not agree with children or adults. The same thing is true with other articles of food. What agrees with one sometimes does not agree with others. But food can be so prepared that it will agree with the weakest stomach. As an illustration—any one, no matter how weak the stomach, can eat, relish and digest a nice hot cup of Postum coffee with a spoonful’ or two of Grape-Nuts poured in, and such a com- bination contains nourishment to car- ry one a number of hours, for almost every particle of it will be digested and taken up by the system and be made use of. A lady writes from the land of the Magnolia and the mocking bird, way down in Alabama, and says: “I was led to drink Postum because coffee gave me sour stomach and made me nervous. Again Postum was recom- meided by two well-known physicians for my children and I feel especially grateful for the benefit derived. “Milk does not agree with either child, so to the eldest, aged four and one-half years, I give Postum with plenty of sweet cream. It agrees with her splendidly, regulating the bowels perfectly, although she is of a consti- pated habit. “For the youngest, aged two and one-half years, I use one-half Postum and one-half skimmed milk. I have not given any medicine since the chil- dren began using Postum, and they enjoy every drop of it. ( A neighbor of mine is giving Pos- tum to her baby lately, weaned, with splendid results. The little fellow is thriving famously.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum ‘agrees perfectly with chil- dren and supplies adults with the hot, invigorating beverage in place of cof- fee.
