The ladies of the Outlook Club
succeeded in arousing great interest
in their unique guessing contest of
Wednesday evening. 1t was held in
the Masonic building, and on the
walls were pictures in silhouette of
thirty prominent ladies and gentle
men of Weiser. Guesses were writ
ten under each picture, and the
task of connecting some of them
with the originals was not an easy
one, though productive of much
amusement. Of the ladies', Mrs

The opposition to the Morgan-Hill
interests in explaining how the Wall
street panic was brought on, put the
blame all on the shoulders of Morgan
and Hill. On their theory if Morgan
and Hill had not bought any Northern
Pacific stock in the first place, and
then after buying it had not entered
into the Burlington deal, which was
needed to make their two transconti-
mental lines more profitable and better
protect their interests, there would
have been no fight for control at all.
On this theory then a man should
not invest in certain properties of it is
not agreeable to others who may be
neighbors thereto, or may think they
would like the said properties them
selves. Of course where such interests
are purchased those to whose interests
such purchase is detrimental are bound
to protect themselves if possible. But
whether they are justified in going to
such an extreme as that entered into
which eliminated in Thursdays stock
panic, is another question. 1t would
seem that they were injuring the gen.
eral public more, or at least large in
dividual portion of it, than they are
the parties they aimed at, or have sue
ceeded in reaping benefits for them
selves in return.

FOOD OF PREHISTORIC MAN.
Experiments Tend to Show he Ate His
Food Raw.

Our attention has recently been call
ed to some curious experiments con-
Quoted some time ago by Mr.. Chas.
White, M. r. @. S.. lately the presi
dent Of the Royal Chronological Society
of Great Britain, says Chambers
Journal. Upon examining some skulls
dating back from the stone age, he
noted that several of the teeth, al
though quite free from carries, were
thickly coated with tartar. 1t occur
red to him that it would be possible
by rough analysis to identify any
particles of food that might be en-
beded in this natural concrete, and
so reveal the character of the ailment
partaken of by prehistoric man. Dis
solving the tartar in weak acid a
residue was left which, under the
microscope was found to consist of
corn husk particles, hairs from the
outside of the husk, spiral vessels from
vegetables, particles of starch, the
point of fish tooth, a conglomeration
of oval cells probably Of fruit, the
barblets of down and portions of wool.
In addition to this varied list was
some round, red bodies, the origin of
which defied detection, and many
sandy paticles, some relating to quartz
and some to flint These mineral frag-
ments where very likely attributable
to the rough stones used in grinding
the corn, and would account for the
erosion of the masticating surfaces,
which in many cases was strongly
marked. This inquiry into the food
of men who lived not less than 4, 600
years ago is matter of great archaeo-
logical interest.

VEST WILL RETIRE.
And in Making Announcement Takes Oc-
casion TO Mildly Score Leaders.

Hot Springs special to St. Paul
Dispatch:
United States Senator Vest of Mis-
souri, announces his practical retire
ment from the political arena.
In declaring he would not run for
reelection at the close of the present
term, the ''Iittle giant" scored old
and new leaders of the Democracy.
Arthur P. German and Carter Fl.
Harrison were named by the veteran
Statesman as his favorite candidates
for president and vice president, re-
spectively. Mr.. Vest unburdened him
self as follows:
"Under no conditions will I be a
candidate for the senate at the expira-
ton Of my present term. [ would not
accept reelection. l shall be nearly
70 years old, and feel as if I have
earned rest. We're the next Demo
cratic convention tomorrow German of
Maryland and Olney of Massachusetts,

lieve the Democratic presidential
nominee should be selected.
"Gorman would be my preference,
with possibly Carter 81. Harrison of
Illinois, for vice president The
mention of Francis and Bailey for the
place sounds like nonsense Both are
from certain Democratic states. There
would be no politics in nominating
men from sure Democratic states.
Francis is strong man though.
'Hil could not carry his own state.
Tammany would never support him.
Bryan is out of the question as the
nominee in 1904. He is peculiar man.

under all conditions, stand for GER
tain policy merely because he has
once been in favor of it. -

The trial was held the next day, and
the future senator made brilliant
speech to the jury. He exhibited the
Bible and pointed to the inscription,
and without leaving their seats the
jury returned a verdict of "Not
guilty"
After the trial the young men gave
the lawyer $50.
'Boys,'' said Mr.. Spooner as they
were about to separate, II am curious

TERRITORIAL SETTLERS.
They Enjoy Pleasant Reunion at the
State Fair Grounds SATURDAY..

Minneapolis. May IA. Nearly four
hundred members of the Minnesota
Terri torial Pioneer association attend
ed the annual meeting of the associa-
tion held Saturday in the old log cabin
at the state fair grounds. 1t was the
biggest reunion that the association
has ever had and there has probably
never been such large number of old
settlers together since the old days
when the towns used to tun out and
celebrate the Fourth of July.
There was big crowd already there
when the old favorite stage coach ar
rived from Minneapolis The men
and women from st. Anthony Falls
were warmly greeted and their big
flag was loudly cheered. D. A. j.
Baker, probably the earliest school
teacher in the state now living, came
up the path in an automobile. Judge
Baker was warmly welcomed. Regrets
were expressed that Former Governor
Alexander Ramsey, and Charlotte
Ouisconsin Van Cleve, who have been
such favorites at former meetings
could not be present. Tams Bixby
and Sam Langum also failed the as
ISOLATION.
Among those present was Mrs w. J.
Dean of Minneapolis, who although
one of the younger in appearance is
really very ancient pioneer. She
was born in Richield in 1874 Her
cousins, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Pond,
both Of whom were present, have even
better records. Mr.. Edward Pond was
born at Lake Harriet in 1910 nearly
ten years before Colonel Stevens erect
ed his now famous house and Mrs.
Pond was born at Lac qui Parle in
1S43. There were very few among the
four hundred who could claim longer
residence in the state.
Several could claim residence in
the state previous to 1850, but only two
OF those present Saturday would admit
having lived in the state over sixty
years. Strangely enough both were of
the weaker sex, Mrs. b. R. Gibbs,
who lives near the fair grounds, came
to Minnesota in 1886, and Mrs. Eli
Pettijohn, who was born at Fort Smell
ing in 1882. She is of Indian descent
on her mothers side.
Mr.. Pettijohn himself antedated all
the men at the meeting. He came to
Fort Smelling in 1871. and says he is
the earliest actual settler in the state,
now living.
Harriet R. Godfrey has the distinc-
tion of being the first white child born
in the old town of st. Anthony. She
was born in 1S4S. She greeted few
of her old playmates, however.
After several hours of "reminiscences
the party adjourned to institute hall
where luncheon was served by the
ladies club Governor Van SAINT,
former Governor John S. Pillsbury, E.
W. Durant, William Pitt Murray and
others spoke.
At the annual election John S. Pills
bury was reelected as president and
W. J. O'Connor as secretary.

ACCOMMODATIONS NEEDED.
Hotels Will Not be Able to Care for All
the MacCabee Delegates.

The committees having charge of
the local arrangements for the big
Maccabee state convention to be held
in this city June Sd and 4th are fear
full lest some of the 400 or 500 dele
gates will have to go without places to
sleep. 1t is not expected that the
hotels will be able to care for all of the
people, and to make sure that all may
find roofs to lodge under, our people
are asked to assist. All who will be
willing to board and lodge some of the
delegates for the two days of the con-
vention are asked to send or take the
information to Judge j. B. Ogle, who
can be found at the city hall from 9
a. m. to. 2 p. m.
No one is asked to furnish free en-
tertainm emit. Location, number who
can be accommodated, and price ex-
pected, should be furnished Mr.. Ogle,
in order that everything may be
understood. Young Mr.. Polzin will
be at the convention to furnish intro
duction cards to those who cannot get
in at the hotels, and these will be
ASST gned to the places on the list.
1t is intended to give all of the dele
gates drive around the city on the
afternoon of June Sd. Arrangements
have been made with the various
livery barns to secure conveyances, but
these will not be enough. 1t is desired
that citizens donate as many carriages
as possible, and those who are willing
to do so are asked to send their names
to Geo. NJ. Phillips or j. B. Ogle.

HEARING GRANTED
The Mayor Must Give Five
Days Notice.
New Charter Amended to Provide for
This Before a Liquor License
Can be Revoked.

Nine members of the charter COM
mission were present at Monday night s
meeting, but as a quorum was slow
in arriving the commission did not
get to work until an hour after the
usual time.
The evening was devoted to the
reading of chapter three which COM
menced Saturday night. The sections
relating to the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of city officials were gone over.
Only one change was made upon the
previous action of the commission.
The present charter gives the mayor
the right to revoke liquor license at
any time that he sees fit, and makes
it his duty to report the fact to the
council, which acts on the matter.
As amended last night, the new
charter will make it necessary to give
the saloon keeper five days written
notice of his intention to revoke the
license. The saloon keeper is then en-
titled to a hearing before the mayor,
who is given power to summon wit
nesses and to produce books and
papers. The mayor, if he revokes the
license, must report the fact to the
council, which can reinstate the
license. the same as provided in the
present charter.
Chapter three was completed as far
as the section relating to city print
ing.
The commission will meet again to-
night at 7 80 p. N. and it is hoped
that the members will attend
PROMPTLY,
