Secretary Taft, when seen on his ‘ear, spoke with regret concerning the death of Secretary Hay. When asked: “Are you to become the premier of the administration?” Secretary Taft replied: “No, I do not expect to become sec- retary of state. I telegraphed the president for instructions when we heard of Secretary Hay’s death and he ordered us to proceed. That does not look as If I am to be secretary of state.” Robbed in Crowd. Chicago, July 3. — Almost in the shadow of the doors of the Corn Ex- ehange National bank, and only & short distance from the board of trade Don Beemey, a messenger employed by Bartlett, Frazer & Carrington, grain and stovk brokers, was attacked by a lone robber, who threw red pep- per in Beemey’s eyes and then robbed him of over $1,700. The robber es- eaped, although the street was crowded. Beemey may lose his eye- sight, stitl by soldiers around the bier, whil the halls of the chamber of commerce. were patrolled by police, the body of John Hay lay in state throughout the national holiday. In accordance with the proclamation of Acting Mayor Lapp, the publie in general remained away from the vicinity of the chamber of commerce and the police made a point of seeing that no unseemly dem- onstration was created by fireworks in the street immediately adjoining the building. The funert> “rranget ments remain substantially as already announced. The president will arrive at 9 o'clock and will be met at the station by the members of, the citi- zens’ committee. Escorted by Troop A of the Ohio national guard the pres- ident and members of his party will be driven directly to the champer of commerce, where they will arrive at 9:30 or 9:45. Ten o'clock is the hour set for the departure of ‘the’ funeral from the chamber of commerce, and one hour is allowed for the drive to the cemetery, five miles away. The services in the chapel are to be of the simplest description. MITCHELL IS FOUND GUILTY. Aged Oregon Senator Is Convicted at Portland. Portland, Or., July 5.—Amidst a din and clatter of fireworks, exploded in honor of the natal day of the country he had served as United States sena- tor during twenty-two years of his life, John B. Mitchell listened to the words pronouncing him guilty of hay- ing violated that law which precluded him as a United States senator, from accepting pay for practicing before the departments of the federal govern- ment. While the clerk was reading the verdict the noise on the outside had so increased that those in the room were able to catch but two phrases: “Guilty” and “Leniency of the court.” As the word “guilty” was pronounced Senator Mitchell seemed as though turned to stone. Judge Bennett moved the defendant be granted a new trial. Judge De Haven set. the motion for a hearing for next Monday. FOURTH OF JULY CASUALTIES.

Wheaton, Minn., July 5.—Less than an hour after it. had retired to de- cide her fate, the jury returned’ a ver- dict finding Antonette Seidensticker not guilty of the murder of Herman Shipp, the young man she was ac- cused of having slain after he had betrayed and deserted her. The ver- dict is taken rather as the jury’s vote that the crime was justifiable than that she did not kil the young man, for it was repeatedly stated that she admitted the murder. Childish to the end, the thirteen-year-old girl rushed to her attorney, Mr. Murphy, and en- twined her arms about his neck in her joy whqn she heard the verdict that meant freedom. The verdict is a very popular one. TOURISTS STILL OUT IN THE WET Rain Delays Party of Automobilists From Chicago to St. Paul. St. Paul, July 5.—The continuation of the rain and the muddy roads pre- vented the main body of the Chicago automobile tourists from making much progress yesterday, and_ they will make their entry into St. Paul this afternoon, twenty-four hours later than the scheduled time.

FLOODS AROUND HURON. Many Fields of Corn and Small Grain Under Water. Huron, S. D., July 5.—Heavy rains continue over this part of the state; many fields of corn and small grain are flooded, and low places are full of water.

State Board of Health to Make Them ™ Fit to Ride In. ‘The executive committee of the state board of health was appointed to in- vestigate “the sanitary conditions of all railway coaches, street cars and other public conveyances.” One of the principal nuisances and unsanitary conditions aimed at is the expectora- tion habit on railway smoking cars. If the mission of thé committee, which will confer with all the leading rail- way officials of the state, is successful, the expectorating habit will be done away with. When this condition is secured a passenger on any road running {nto Minnesota may smoke to his heart's content and expectorate on the fldor until he reaches the Minnesota boun- dary line, But when this point in his journey is reached be must forget his tobacco and confine his moments to the papers or magazines. . The committee will also investigate all other features of cleanliness or lack of cleanliness on public convey- ances, and will report the result of its work at the August meeting of the state board. In view of the fact that the Minneso- ta legislature did not comply with the wishes of the board and move to es- tablish an institution for the care of pasteur patients, the board recom- mended the sending of pasteur pa- tients to the University of Michigan, to the New York City institute or to the Baltimore institute. It was announced that at the University of Michigan no charge is made for patients coming from any portion of the state, but that a fee of $400 is charged for those com- ing from any other state. The board voted to perfect plans for the establishment of a branch labora- tory at Duluth. It is the intention to make the Duluth laboratory a branch of the laboratory at the state universi- ty, and under the laws governing the university institution, to be entitled to the same privileges and a portion of the state fund appropriated for its maintenance. The question of several undesirable, slaughter houses was discussed, and July 10 was set ag a day for hearing the owners of these places. Two of the slaughter houses are in East Grand Forks and one in Hopkins. CLASH OVER ASYLUM. Anoka Council Admits Institution to City Limits but Action Is Contested. The Anoka city council by resolu- tion has admitted the state hospital for the insane and the 125,56 acres of land of the institution into the corporate limits of the city. The moment the resolution passed the sheriff served an injunction on the mayor, the president, the city clerk, the register of deeds and the census enumerator restraining the city from taking the action; from filing the nec- essary papers; from recording them, and from enumerating the inmates in the asylum. Nevertheless the papers were drawn up and have been duly filed. The injunction was signed by J. W. Stead as court commissioner, an@ cites those named to appear on July 17 for’argument. It is alleged by those he oppose the move that the city will be put to added expense; that the people, if it was left toa vote, would decide against it. The other side contends that the state takes care of its own property, that the grounds are not platted, so the city will not be called upon to build roads or streets. The injunction has been ignored and the outcome will be watched with in- terest. PATENTS. List of Patents Issued Last Week to Northwestern Inventors.

Exhibit of Thoroughbreds at the State Fair. % W. E. Skinner, general agent of the Union stock yards at Chicago and gen- eral manager of the International Live Stock exposition, is in St. Paul arrang- ing for a complete exhibit of thorough- bred horses and pure blooded stock at the state fair in September., Mr. Skin- ner will assemble in this city on Sept. 2 seventeen car loads of horses and stock bred in all parts of the Middle West. A score of the best horse breed- ers and cattle experts in the country will also arrive in the city on that date to take charge of -the exhibit and to lecture to the visiting farmers and stock men on the value of pure bred stock. After the closing of the state fair, Mr. Skinner will take the entire exhib- it to Portland, where exhibitions will be made., On the way to the coast four stops will be made, where the horses and cattle will be unloaded and shown to the farmers and others who are in- terested. The first stop west of St. Paul will be at Bismarck, the second at Billings, the third at Helena and the fourth at Spokane. A special train of seventeen cars will carry the cattle to the coast over the Northern Pacific railway. Two standard sleepers will be coupled to the special stock train for the accommodation of the owners and breeders. In speaking of the purpose of the exhibits, Mr. Skinner said: “The packing interests of the coun- try have come to the conclusion that stock raisers need to be educated to the importance of pure bred stock, if they desire to keep up with the sharp competition that has evolved since the days of the range. “The range is a thing of the past. Twenty-two years ago at Cheyenne more than 300 raisers of range cattle used to assemble for the annual round- up. Last year only five men attended, and they were members of the state live stock board. The squatters have put the free range out of business. They have taken homesteads around the water holes and thus rendered it legally impossible for rangers to water their cattle. Without water the range is of no use. “As a result of the passing of the range, the cattle industry has passed into the hands of thousands of farmers who raise anywhere from one to twen- ty head a year. Naturally cattle raised in such small numbers can receive much more personal atention and care ‘rom their owners than could the range cattle who were bred by the thou- sands. * “The quality of the farm stock, con- sequently, is much better, and is im- proving every day. But there are @ great many breeders who have not yet come to see the importance of pure bred stock, of better beef and butter cattle, and the purpose of our exhibit is to give a demonstration of what cat- tle should be like. “The packing industry has been re- duced to a science. That is, a more exact knowledge is needed now to car- cy on the packing business successfully than heretofore. It means that better cattle are demanded by the packers, and the man who breeds an inferior zrade of stock will get left in the rush of competition. “The possibilities of Minnesota asa stock-raising state are truly marvel- ous. There is no reason under the sun why Minnesota cannot be the live stock state of the Union, and because of her unbounded possibilities along this line it is imperative that live stock men of the state see the importance of raising the best cattle possible.” 500,000 ACRES FOR FARMS. State Will Offer Large Tract of Land for Sale. It was announced at the state audi- tor’s office that approximately 500,000 acres of state land will be sold at pub- lic auction next fall. This is a much larger amount than has ever been of- fered for sale in Minnesota. A good share of the land is located mm the more or less settled portions of North Central Minnesota, and the state officials will be very much surprised if the average price falls below $10 an acre, which means that the state will receive $5,000,000, an unprecedented sum for one year's sale of state lands. These lands are to be located in Ait- kin, Pine, Carlton, Crow Wing, Morri- son, Todd, Hubbard, Becker and many other counties. The terms will be 15 per cent cash and forty years’ time op the balance at 4 per cent interest. The state heretofore has never sold more than 100,000 acres, and it has been popularly supposed that this is the limit that the state land commis- sioner can offer for sale. It appears, however, that this limit applies only to school lands. The land commission- er may sell 100,000 acres of school lands, and as many acres of other state lands, belonging to the univer- sity, institutions and other funds, as he deems best. Knowledge that thousands of land seekers are pressing through Minne- sota every year on the way to Canada and the Pacific coast has led the state auditor to place this large amount of Jands on the market. —— Heid on Murder Charge.
