Minneapolis, May 8—Republican leaders, representing every city ward but three, held a conference yester- day to discuss M. W. Savage as a candidate for governor. It was decided to request Mr. Savage to become a candidate with the promise that if he would do so, he would have the backing ot Hennipin county. The verdict was that there would be little trouble in getting the vari- ous elements of the party together and carrying Hennepin’s delegation for Savage. Some reports from other districts of the state were read, indicating Savage sentiment in the first, sec- ond and ninth districts. Mr. Savage has had the question under consideration but has made no definite answer. The expectation is that as a result of the meeting yester- day he will consent to the use of his name. Lawler Being Urged. Minneapolis, Minn,, May 8.— | for Beltrami county will be held at Daniel W. Lawler the democratic candidate for governor. While nothing definite has been done, so far, it is stated by Lawler’s personal friends that, since the re- sult of St. Paul’s election became known in the state, Lawler has re- cieved upward of 100 telegrams from prominent democrats urging him to enter the field as Johnson’s successor.

Frater, Onigum, Indian” agent in charg~ of the agencies of these reser- vations, who was a visltor in Bemid- ji last nigbt. Senator Frater states that all of the Indians were, in the main, satis- fied with the logging on the reserva- tions which was done by companies last winter under the general super- vision of William O’Neil of Cass Lake, superintendent of logging under the provisions of the Morris Chippewa law. The logs were all check-scaled by Pat Kennedy, Edgar C. McGregor and E. J. Fulton, official scalers for the Indians of the reserves, and the Indians have every confidence in these men, who have proven their reliability. The agent states that the recent big forest fires which raged on the southwestern part of the Leech lake reservation and south of the reser- vation line, destroyed many acres of blueberry vines and obliterated the prospects of hundreds of bushels of berries from one of the favorite Indian berry grounds. “Old Bug is in good health,” says Senator Frater. “Much interest seems to be taken in the condition of the old fellow, doubtless due to the notoriety he attained through his connection with the Indian uprising at Bear Island several years ago. The old fellow goes to Walker occasionally, and is alwaysan object of interest. He has a new house on his allotment at Bear Island, and is as peaceable as a child. but although 70 years of age, his keen old eye still retains much of the sparkle of There is a movement on foot to make office. intelligence and gameness.” 3 sale will be our Lot l--Combinations Embroideries and fin Beautiful Silver Vani $2.00, sale price..... must go.

GCROOKSTON-ELKS WERE PLEASED WITH BANNER | Adopted Resolutions Thanking the Members of Bemidji Lodge for the Beautiful Gift. Recently, the members of Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. E., sent to the Crookston lodge of Elks a handsome banner, being a slight token of the friendly feeling which premeates the breast of every local Elk for the kindly brethren over at Crookston, and. the evening of the acceptance of the present was marked by considerable - enthusiasm on the part of Crookston Elks. The following letter has been received from the Crookston Elks, in which the receipt of the banner is acknowledged: “Crookston, April 15. “To the Members of Bemidji Lodge No. 1052.; Bemidji, Minn. “Dear Brothers:—At a regular meeting of Crookston Lodge No. 342, B.

Mr. Asquith, who was former chancellor of the exchequer, had prepared the budget and it was thought he should himself explain it to parliament. No budget of recent years has been awaited with as much interest as this one. Everybody was keen to learn of the government’s scheme for old age pensions, the’house consequently was packed and its galleries were over- flowing with visitors. v M. Asquith, after commenting briefly on the present slackening of trade thronghout the world following the boom year of 1907, announced that Great Britain’s realized surplus for the year 1907-8 amounted tg. $23, 630,000, which, he said, would be largely applied to the reduction of the national debt. National Debt Being Reduced. The national debt, the premier sald, had been reduced by approximately $90,000,000 during the past year. A further reduction of about $75,000,000 would be effeeted during the current year and Great Britain’s debt would then stand at the same figure as twen- ty years ago. The new budget reduces the duty on sugar from 4s 2d to 1s 10d per hun- dredweight. The reduction in the sugar duties will become effective May 18 on raw and refined sugar and on July 1 on articles manufactured with sugar. Coming to the main feature of the budget—the matter of old age pen- sfons—Mr. Asqnith said it had been decided to rule out all contributory schemes and provide the pensions from the national treasury. The pre- mier estimated that the pensioners will not exceed 500,000 and that the cost of the scheme would be $30,000,- 000 a year. It will come into force Jan. 1, 1909. Stringent conditions ‘would be laid down for forfeiture and suspension; and if this was socialism, the premier declared, it was socialism of a kind that both parties accepted.

Laporte, Ind., May 8.—Additional light on the methods by which Mrs. Belle Guinness lured to her death farm one mile north of here the per- Bons who are supposed to have fallen vietims to her lust for money was shed by Ask K. Helgelein, brother of Andrew Helgelein of Mansfield, S. D., whose dismembered corpse is among the nine found on the farm. Helge- lein told the coroner that not only had his brother been in communica- tfon with the woman, but also that she had written to him after Andrew’s disappearance in an attempt to in- duce him to visit this city. “Sell your brother’s stock and come here and we will hunt your brother together,” was the gist of the epistles written in Norwegian and as yet only partially translated. The letters are zealously guarded by Helgelein under orders of Ralph N. Smith, prosecut- ing attorney, but enough was revealed to show that the woman had not hesi- tated to dare to attempt to gain a hold over the nearest relative of her latest yictim, Rain interfered with further ex- humations on the death enshrouded farm of Mrs. Guinness. Sheriff Smut- zer announced that until the down- pour ceased it will be impossible to explore the lawn of the homestead, where, it is believed, more bodies have been concealed. Bessie Conklin, a young woman re- siding in Michigan City, Ind., whose former home was in Laporte, has been arrested by Sheriff Smutzer and is be- ing held in jail as an important wit- pess. Locked Up as a Witness. The woman was a friend of Ray Lamphere, who is accused of complic- ity in the murders at the Guinness home. Miss Conklin is not accused of complicity, but her testimony is considered of so great importance that she will remain locked' up until the grand jury nears her testimony next week. It is said that Lamphere, while talking to Miss Conklin, made threats against Mrs. Guinness and said that he had information which, if disclosed, would hang Mrs. Guinness. She further said that she was ready to disclose all that Lamphere told her, adding that “he was in love and crazy jealous over Mrs. Guinness.” It has developed that on the after- poon before Helgelein disappeared Ray Lamphere was sent to Michigan Oity by Mrs. Guinness to await the coming of a man named John Moo, her cousin. Mrs. Guinness told Lam- phere to wait until night for his ar- rival from Chicago and that if he did not arrive that Lamphere should stay all night and come back the next morning. The cousin did not arrive and Lamphere returned to the Guin- ness home the next morning about 8 o'clock. Mrs. Guinness met him at the door and told him that he could have the day off and go to town. He accepted the invitation and spent the day in town. He returned the next morning and she said: “You didn’t get back in time to see bim before he went.” Lamphere asked whom she meant and then she told him Helgelein had left for Chicago the afternoon before. That was the last seen of Helgelein, Big Hotel for St. Paul. St. Paul, May 8.—St. Paul is to bhave a new, commodious and thor- oughly up to date hotel. .

The dead are: Mrs. Eva Sach, ten years old; Hattie Kople- mann, two and a half years old, and an unidentified man. The fire was first seen by a police- man, who turned into Orchard street when the flames were shooting from windows in the lower part of the house. His call for help brought sev- eral other officers to his assistance and in a moment nearly every one in the house had been aroused and the fire escapes were choked with fright- ened tenants, The pelicemen carried several children to the ground before the firemen arrived. By that time the condition of the fire escapes was almost helpless. Men, women and children were packed so closely on the narrow platforms that no one could get down. ‘While persons in the building who had been unable to get out because all the windows leading to the fire escapes were crowded struggled for exit on one side the firemen on exten- sion ladders labored on the other. One by one women and children were dragged from the overloaded plat- forms by the firemen and carried down the extension ladders to the street and safety. More than 100 persons were taken from the fire escapes in this way. Mrs. Eva Berg and the Sach boy were burned to death in their rooms, apparently having been overcome by smoke while asleep, and little Hattie Koplemann was killed by falling from her mother’s arms while the latter was attempting to reach the roof.
