KNUTE BOUND OVER.
The Boy Axe Thief Was Held to the
Grand Jury With Bail Fixed
at $3.50.

Justice Shaw Wednesday denied
the motion of the defendant for a
change Of venue in the preliminary
examination OF Theo. knute, thu
boy charged with larceny in the
second degree, it being alleged that
he stole from j. w. Berg's hardware
house Il dozen axes.
The examine ton was therefore
conducted before Justice Shaw. The
witness IS sworn were mostly those
who had received some Of the axes
from Knute. Mr.. Berg identified the
axes and the box in which they had
been when taken, as belonging t.
him. The boy adhered to the story
he told when arrested OF finding the
box OF axes in the alley.
The father Of the boy, Frank
Knute, was present again today,
but he was quite a different person,
from what he was yesterday. His
summary ejectment by Justice Shaw
evidently convinced him that he was
not as near being the "whOle thing
as he thought for n time.
The boy was committed to Jail III
default of $3.50 Of bail, but his father
claimed to be able to furnish thu
bonds necessary and may do so.

The National League Season.

The National league baseball season
just closed. when all things connected
Herewith have been duly considered.
has been renlarkab bly, successful. All of
the clubs. if the statements of the in
terested officials be accepted. have made
q fair margin Of profit, with the excep-
ton of the Cleveland club. and even
that outcast, which from lack of home
patronage was compelled to transfer
many Of its games TO other cities. came
out even financially. and this in spite
of the fact that the game was conduct
ed, as a rule. on decidedly unsports-
manlike lines.
At the beginning Of the season the
public was assured. with a loud -four
ish of trumpets. that revised methods
were to obtain and that rowdyism and
disorder were to be eliminated from the
game. and the nlagnutes all signed an
agreement pledging themselves to en-.
force the rules and to do all they could
to bring about this much to be desired
condition of baseball affairs
How we'll this agreement was not
Kept the stories Of the game from day
to day conclusively proved From the
very start of the season the rowdy ele
ment seemed to dominate the green
diamond. and the records of the games
were punctuated with reports of abuse
Of unlpircs. fines and ejectments of IN
ruly or profane players from the field
and forfeitnres Of games for open and
persistent defiance of the rulings Of the
much abused umpire This seeming
contempt for the desires of the sport
loving patrons Of the game continued
till the end Of the season. the very last
game between the now champion Brook
ly,ls and the Baltimores being marked
By disg1aceful disregard for the ruling
of the umpire by the players and the
forfeiture of the game after only one
and half innings had been played
And yet the game on the whole has
prospered.
Another cause for dissatisfaction with
the manner in which baseball is now
managed is syndicate ownership of
clubs. Where one man or one set OF
men own or control or are interested
financially in clubs in two or more
cities there will always be the POSSIBLE
ity, and hence suspicion. Of jockeying
or hirpodrominy The owners of the
bs are men Of integrity and unques-
tionable honesty. ard it is beyond be-
lief that any one Of them would resort
to questionable methods to enrich him
self But in syndicate ownership of
clubs the opportunity for suspicion is
present. and it should be at ore and
forever removed
If with the unsatisfactory conditions
which prevailed during the last season
the game can flourish and pay large
financial dividends. why would it not
be wise for the magnates to consider
what would be the result if they re-
formed the abuses which have disguised
an honest desire to cater to the wishes
OF the numerous patrons Of the national
gamer And while considering that no
mentous question it might be we'll for
them to ponder on what will ulti!l:1i ~
be the result If til" game il :,lu"ci t.

Weather Retards Loggers.

SANDSTONE, Mimi, Nov. 28.-The
continued mild weather is greatly
retarding the work OF the loggers.
BY the time One-third of the winters
cut should he on skids ready to haul,
but at present nothing has been ac-
cOmpliahed. The men who went in
to the woods two or three weeks
ago are beginning to come out as
they refuse to stand in water all day
at their work. The woods are liter
ally flooded and unless heavy frOsts
soon set in, the price OF pine lumber
next spring will be greatly beyond
present prices.

coil by her own hand. The exact
cause OF her trouble could not be as
certained, but it is thought to be
that old, old story of unreQuited
affection.
Reports from the northern timber
country Indicate that men are be-
coming numerous in the western
part OF the district, as they come
from the Dakota wheat fields to
BeIhitlji and other points nearest the
farming disti let. Men are still scarce
further east, and the greatest de-
mand is about Hibbing and the head
OF the lakes, Lumbermen can do
nothing more than cut and skid the
logs, and in the low marshy section
it is difficult to keep men at work.

CANADA WANTS TO TRADE.
Willing to Give the United states Much of
tho Disputed Gold Country for
Valuable Seaport.

London, Oct. 25.-Thc Associated
press is enabled to give authoritatively
Canada's final proposition for perma-
nent settlement of the Alaska dispute.
II is very different from her former de-
mands and is us follows:
That the boundary line be nrbitratcd upon
terms similar to those imposed by the United
States and Great britain over Venezuela par

taken us equity allows under international law
That us u condition precedent 10 AMI abso-
lutcly preliminary 10 arbitration. Sknguny ana
Dyea would be conceded to the United states
without further claim II Canada. received
Pyramid harbor.
In other words, Canada gives up much OF the
disputed gold country In return for i seaport,
but siipulates that she must get the latter be-
fore she agrees to arbitratc the boundary line.
Russia, Also, Would Arbitrate.
London, Oct. 25.-Russia has at last
agreed to arbitratc with the United
States the claim resulting from the
seizure of sealers in the Bering sea,
which have been pending for about
eight years. A protocol between the
two governments has been drawn up,
the final formalities are expected to be
concluded next month and the arbitra-
ton will probably take the form Of the
Venezuelan court.

TYPHOID FEVER VACCINE.
United States Soldiers VIII Hereafter Prob
ably he Jnocuiated to Protect Them
from This Disease.

Washington, Oct. Collaboration
has been received at the war depart
ment that the British army officials
have determined to inoculate all their
troops with reccntly-discovered vac
cine us a protective against typhoid
fever. II is probable that the medical
department of the United States army
will adopt the same measures OF pro-
lection. The discovery is regarded as
very important. The principle is to
inoculate the patient with measured
quantities of dead, but still poisonous,
heterogeneous. 1t is claimed that
such incubation Is entirely free from
all danger to the patient. In the Eng
lish army the men have been vaccinated
on the hip, and experience has shown
that constitutional symptoms, consist
ing of faintness and collapse, begin TO
manifest themselves generally in two
or three hours.

Souvenirs Of Dewey are to be had on every

for the paying. But they are coId.hearted
souvenirs, that have no intimate connection

ter. A certain small boy has keen appre-
citation Of that fact. He feels that he has
been more highly favored than the average

sacred precincts Of the Olympia and met the

WE are warned that disease is often
communicated 10 human beings by
their animal pets. More than ten per
cent. OF canaries and other captive
birds die of tuberculosis, and most of
the monkeys in captivity succumb to
the same disease, SO that a cbild's visit
TO the monkey-house in geological
garden may be source Of infection.
Recent examination of dogs shows that
of these animals, which have been re-
garded as very refractory to this dis
ease, fully half are subject to it in a
greater or less degree.
