DEATH OF SENATOR HAMILTON

The Tacoma News says:
The announcement of the death Of
Edward S. Hamilton creates profound
sorrow in the city Of Tacoma, where
the deceased was best known and be-
loved. For many years Mr.. Hamilton
and successful business men Of the
city as we'll as one of it's most distin-
guished and honored public men. His
long service as state senator has been
an unbroken record of fidelity and de-
votion to the interests of the city, the
county and the state. No public man
ever enjoyed more deserved popular
ity in this city. He was admirably
fitted by temperament, special and un-
usual qualifications and long expert
were pure, high and honorable. He
was in the prime of life and had ac-
CURED through energy and industry in
business the means to enable him to
crafty his inclinations for participa!
ton in public service. Edward S.
Hamilton was actuated both by a love
of politics and a sincere and fervent
patriotism to serve his constituency. 1t
involved constant sacrifices of time
and money but these sacrifices We're
generously, freely made. There was
not a small or selfish trait in his char
acter. He had hosts OF friends to
whom he was loyal as steel. He had
opponents, bitter opponents, as every
man of positive convictions, worthy
ambitions and a record of successful
achievements always has, but there
was no opponent who did not bear for
him genuine respect and unconcealed
esteem.
Edward S. Hamilton was a born
leader. Such men as he are too rare
in this community and this state. That
far higher hOnOrS and distinctions were
in store for him than he had attained
no one who knew him could for a mo-
ment doubt. He was the most capable
politician in the Legislature if not in
the state. He had indomitable energy,
admirable tact, reSOurcefulness and
the spirit of a leader. He was recog-
nized by everyone who knew him as
man of great worth and ability as
we'll as of lOvable traits. His death
brings sorrow and keen disappoint-
ment to a multitude of friends and ap-
preciative admirers. Edward S. Ham
ilton's death leaves a large place va
cant which it will be difficult for any
other man to fill.
Sympathy is extended to those who
will feet the most bitter grief at the
death of the one nearest to them in
| the home death has entered and pierre
| ed shining mark. In this bereave-
ment city and a state mourn their
| own loss, but there are deeper griefs
| in which the public do not fully share
| 1t is a cruel fate that all too early ends
| the brilliant and promising career OF
Edward S. Hamilton and brings the
| sense of keen personal loss and heart
| felt sympathy for the bereaved family
| to the people of the city and the COM
monwealth he proudly loved and ably
served.

Mrs. Forbes and a lumberjack
We're arrested Saturday evening
in an intoxicated condition, and
placed in the city Jail. The man
was put in a cell, but the woman
was left in the space outside the
cells, a sort of court. Officers
remained in the vicinity, for the
nature of the woman was known
and it was feared that she might
again try to kill herself. The
fears were wellsfounded. Hear
ing the lumberjack cry out the
officers rushed to the iron cage,
to find Mrs. Forbes hanging
from the side Of the building,
held by a ruffie of her dress
which she had torn off and
fastened in moose around her
neck, then tying the other enc to

away a block of wood on which
she stood. She pulled through
alright and cheerfully paid her
fine this morning. The lum ber-
jack was let off with a fine of So

Protest Is Sent to Congress
Which Calls Out Strong

San Domingo. Sept. 20. United
STATES Minister Powell has sent a
strong protest to the Dominican gov
ernments based on v4.the following 6
grounds:
That the action of the Dominican
government in sending to congress a
project for establishing the neutrality
lain ports free. would Tin view of the
fact that San Domingo is a neigh5or-
ing state) not be accepted In a friend
ly spirit by the government of the
United States.
That the United States government
would not allow the establishment Of
any coaling ports in Santo Domingo
or the cession of any portion of Santo
Domingo territory to any European
power.
Rights Must Be Respected.
That the United States will not per-
nit any nation to make exclusive use
of Dominican waters In time of peace,
much less in time of war. Nor could
the United States allow any portion OF
Dominican territory to be classed as
neutral nor permit any section of the
country to conflict with the concession
granted to the Clyde line, according
to which all vessels arriving from for
eign ports are compelled to pay port
dues, executing the Clyde steamers.
The American protest has excited
considerable comment. Minister Pow
ell, 1t is pointed out, seems to be de-
termined to have the rights Of Aneri-
cans respected by the government Of
Santo Domingo.

after this Fullerton gave an in
terview condemning Mr.. Buen-
ther to a st. Paul newspaper. 1t
can be proven, it is claimed, that
this interview damaged the tax
idermist to the extent Of several
hundred dollars, by driving away
trade.
Both cases will be tried before
Judge McClenahan the latter
part of this week, probably
Wednesday and Thursday. A
jury trial is not asked for. The
question upon which the whole
affair will hingeswill be, When
does game lose its identity as
such?
The plaintiff contends that a
mounted head is no more game
than is the handle of jacknife
made from buck horn, and that
the game laws do not in any way
apply to mounted specimens.
The 1903 game laws permit the
shipping of mounted specimens
from the state, but no mention
was made of this in the laws pub
lished the year previous.

Richards Decides That Land
Office Shall Remain at
Cass Lake.
THE PRESIDENT FORMALLY AP
PROVES DECISION.
Bemidji Did Not Have Political
Pull to Land the
Plum.

Bemidj has lost the land office.
The following IS the special dis
patch received by the Duluth
Herald:
''Prcsident Roosevelt has mott
fed Commits sioner Richards of
the general land office that he
approved his recommendation
that the land office remain at
Cass Lake aud not be removed to
Bemidji The president instruct
ed Commissioner Richards to
grant hearing to those favoring
Bemidji as the site for the new
land office, and that hearing was
held August 81, Congressman
Steenerson and several we'll
known attorneys appearing to
advocate the claims of Bemidli,
and Congressman Buckman and
several others taking the de-
fenslyc for Cass Lake. After
carefully digesting the argu
ment on both sides, Commits
sioner Richards recommended
that the land office be retained at
Cass Lake, and this morning he
was informed by wire from
Oyster Bay that President
Roosevelt approved of his recon
mendation, and that the Cass
Lake land office will remain.
The decision causes little sur
prise in Benidji. It was fore
gone conclusion that the Office
would 60 to Cass Lake, in spite
of the fact that Bemidji has all
the advantages as a place OF To-
cation. There is always moreor
less politics mixed up in an affair
OF this kind, and Bemidji hasn't
the political pull Of Cass Lake
and Duluth. Bemidji put up a
good fight and received a lot of
advertising. No harm was done,
and on the whole the effects Of
the battle will be beneficial to
this town.
Congressman Steencrson has
done all that mortal man could do
to get the office for Bemidji he
will not be forgotten by Bemieiji
citizens.

Frost.
Chicago, Sept 20. - The corn crop
has not been as seriously damaged
by the fall in temperature as was gen.
orally anticipated, judging by the re-
ports from the cities of the agricul-
tural district Reports from Topeka,
Des Mones, Omaha, Kansas City, st.
Paul and other points indicate either
a very light frost or an entire escape
for the present. The temperature is
rising generally throughout the
Northwest. The general indications
are for a period of warmer weather
and at least an average crop Of corn.

Cases Against Samuel Full
lerton Will be Tried
This Week.
BUENTHER ASKS FOR INJUNC-
TION AND DAMAGES.
Claims That Game Laws do Not
Apply to Mounted
Specimens.

The cases of the most wide
spread interest to come up at the
presentterm of the district court
will be those brought by Henry
Buenther, the Bemidji taxiderm-
I ist, against Samuel Fullerton and
the state game and fish commits
sion. The results of these suits
will be Of interest to every tax
idermist and sportsman in the
state They have already at
tracted wide attention.
There are two suits, the. first
for a permanent injunction
against the state game and fish
commission, Samuel Fullerton,
state game warden, and others,
restraining them from interfer-
ing with Mr.. Buenther's bus
mess as taxidermist; the sec
ond, damage suit against Sam
uel F. Fullerton, executive agent
Of the state game and fish COM
mission, and others. Damages
are asked in the sum Of $4,000.
! The original trouble was aired
in the leading papers Of the state.
In April, 1902, two mounted deer
heads shipped by Mr.. Buenther
to Dakota were seized by a
deputy warden on the grounds
that they we're game and there
fore could not be sent out OF the
state. The heads were two
which had been purchased by
Mr.. Buenther from the very
game warden who later seized
them. Mr.. Buenther's conten-
ton was that game loses its
identity as such when mounted,
for only the heads and hides are
used in mounting, and they are
treated to a chemical process be-
fore being used. His contention
seems to have been a correct one,
!. for when the facts Of the case
were set before the attorney
general, which was Immediately
done by letter, the game and fish
commission was compelled to re
lease the heads and forward them
to their destination. Merely to
discipline Mr.. Buenther, it is al
legged, for daring to call the at
tention OF the attorney general
ito the matter, the state game and
fish commission tried to compel
the taxidermist to have all his
deer and moose heads sealed.
He was notified by Mr.. Fullerton
that it would cost only two cents
to make application for seals,
and, thinking this an easy way
to avoid further friction with the
commission, he applied foe several
dozen seals, only to find that at
taching them to moose and deer
heads would cost one dollar each,
while sealing birds would be only
three cents. Mr.. Buenther says
that up to this time no other
taxidermist in the state had been
compelled to seal his mounted
specimens when shipped and pay
for so doing. He kicked vigor-
ously. On Dec. 1st, 1902, a
deputy warden was sent up here
for the purpose of taxing the
taxidermist one dollar each for
all the moose and deer heads and
hides in his possession. Mr..
Buenther refused to pay. It
seems that the deputy, expect
ing to collect the money, brought
little cash with him, and when he
failed in his mission went
