TOLD WHAT HE WOULD DO.

Peter Bonde, sheriff-elect of Kandi-
yohi county, replying to our request
for a statement of the methods used
in his campaign, says in substance as
fOilOWs:
filed on the Prohibition ticket and
made a straight fight, not beating around
the bush at any time but telling the
people 1 was a PrOhibtiOnist and If
elected would do my best to enforce the
laws in the saloon towns as well as IN
our no-license villages.
made a personal canvass OF the coun-
ty, spending about thirty days therein,
mostly in the country.
Having served the City of Willmar as
Chief of Police for nearly four years
during it's no-license regime and having
done my best during that time to enforce
the laws without Partially against all
violators gave me a good deal or ad-
vertising. ,.,,
Then again, when in October the Will
mar Council granted license, l rendered
my resignation to take effect before the
saloon should OPEN They, however,
urged me to continue to serve, saying
that now is the time that they would need
Prohibition policemen and that, in max
ing my canvass, / could say that if a
Prohibition policeman was a good thing
for a saloon town, why not for the whole
county?
We also talked county option and many
thought it time to begin preparation Tor
such a law should it pass. | do hope that
the measure will go through this winter.

We have asked a number of candi-
dates and managers to give the read
ers of The Public Veal few words
in reply to the following questions:
I. What is the best thing you and
your committee did to make and Pro-
hibition sentiment in the campaign?
2. What next? A suggestion or two
of what we ought to undertake now.
Following is the substance OF some OF
the replies:
1. MY committee of 25 leading men,
representing every part of the county,
wrote articles for the papers and letters
to voters and interviewed as many vot-
ers personally as possible.
2 Take it cool and feel as happy as
though we had elected all our candidates.
Talk with our friends about who would
be the strongest candidates for the next
campaign and have them announce them

USED MUCH PRINTERS INK.

Chairman Higgins and Mr.. StrOm-
me, his manager, being asked by The
Public Veal chow it was done in
the 44th, ascribed the victory largely
to the liberal use of printers ink. In
about three weeks the city portion OF
the district was covered five times.
Nor was the country neglected in this
respect. The last distribution, that
of a personal circular letter. was made
by Is young men who began business
at o'clock on the morning OF cleo
ton day. 1t was appropriately in
scribed, Lest you forget"
Three thousand portrait window

AGAINST THE WITNESSES.
Supreme Court Decision In Tobacco
 Trust Cases.

Supreme Court Decision in Tobacco Trust Cases.
 Washington, March 12.-The Tobac- co Trust cases, involving the right of witnesses to refrain from testifying
 before Federal grand juries in pro-
 ceedings under the antitrust law were today declared by the Supreme Court of the United States against the witnesses. The case grew out of pro- ceedings for writs of habeas corpus instituted in the Circuit Court for the southern district of New York, whose decision was affirmed The court held. however, that the subpoenae in this case was too broad.
 The titles of the cases were:
 Edwin E. Hale vs. United States Marshal Henkel and William H. Mo Allister vs. Henkel, and both came to
 the supreme court on appeal from the United States Circuit Court for the Southern district of SNew York. The
 cases involved the broad question of the federal grand jury to compel wit
 nesses to answer questions and as this question has recently arisen in many of the federal courts the decision in
 this case has been looked forward to with much interest.
 The present proceeding had its ori- gin in connection with a suit of the
 government against the American To- bacco Company, commonly known as
 the Tobacco Trust, the McAndrews and
 Forbes Company and the Imperial To-
 bacco Company, under the antitrust law, which was instituted in the cir cult court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. Hale and McAlllster are officers of Tobacco Companies an dwhen called to testify before the grand jury relative to the existence of so-called trusts they re- fused to answer questions or to pro- duce their books They were commit ted for contempt of court and sought to escape by means of wrlts of habeas corpus. These writs were refused and the case was brought to the supreme court by the defendants In the hear ing they attacked the Jurisdiction of the grand jury and contended that at the time they were before the jury

MEETING OF CIVIC IMPROVEMENT
 LEAGUE

The regular monthly meeting of the Civic Improvement League was held at the Y. w. c. A. yesterday morn ing. A motion was made and carried requesting each delegate from the va- rious clubs of the city to present be- fore her organization the necessity for holding a covered receptacle of neat appearance for ashes, garbage. /etc., and to keep their rear as well as front premises in good order. A committee was formed 10 interview the new chief of police and enlist his interest and cooperation in the work of the Civic League and to urge him to authorize the policemen to help in this matter of clean streets. The ladies of the Eastern Star were requested to con- fer with their Grand Secretary and the Manager of the Bell Telephone Com pany to solicit relief from the wagons on Washington Street. This street and Lee Street have long been a menace to the community, where the crowded wagons prevent passing for those driv- ing, and the washing of buggies on the sidewalks make it disagreeable If not impassable for pedestrians.
 Mir. Frank Jackson was present and gave the ladies many valuable sugges- tions. The question of parks was dis- cussed at length and a committee formed to wake up the park commits sion, which seems to have gone to sleep, and ask them to take steps to- ward the beautifying of the few public squares that Montgomery has and in acquiring and redeeming more of the little triangles at the intersection of several streets. which are now the catch-alls for waste paper. But be- fore the acquisition of new parks it is hoped that something can be done t. beautify the little patches of the pub lies ground that we have. Why not plant a number of cape jessamipe bush es around the fountain? They would be green all winter and the spray from the fountain would keep them free from dust during the summer and In May and June they bear the beautiful fra grant flowers which are as rare and wonderful to the Northern tourist as the orange blossoms of Florida. For a few dollars the little circle around the basin, which now contains the refuse papers of motermen's and Street Car Conductors lunches and old hand bills which have blown over the railing, might be made beautiful with yellow daffodils that would delight the eyes of the visitors that Montgomery ex- poets to fill the new hotel.

MISS ANTHONY DEAD
LEADER OF wOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
 MOVEMENT EXPIRES.
Despffe Her SC Years, Her Mind Was Clear and strong and She had Many Plans for the Flu
 fure..

Rochester. N. Y, March 12.-The long and eventful life of Susan B. An thony at 12:40 o'clock this morning ended. The end came peacefully. Miss Anthony had been unconscious practi- caliy for twenty-four hours and her death had been momentarily expected since Sunday night. Only her wonder full constitution kept her alive. pr. M. s. Kicker, her attending physician said Miss Anthony died of heart fail ure induced by double pneumonia. She had had serious valvular heart trouble for the last six or seven years. Her lungs were practically clear and the pneumonia had yielded to treatment but the weakness of her heart prevent ed her recovery.
 Miss Anthony's life in later years since her retirement from active parti- cipation in the affairs of the national suffrage organization has been com paratively quiet nut her interest in the work to which she has given the best years of her long life did not abate She devoted most of her time 10 the pen and wrote many historical and reminiscent articles on the woman suffrage move- ment In spite of her S6 years, her mind to within a day has been clear and strong and even in her last sick ness she was actively engaged in plan ming for the future.
 Since she retired from the presiden- cy of the suffrage party about three years ago, Miss Anthony has travelled widely and lectured more than was wise for one of her age.
 In 1901 she went to Germany to at tend the international congress of wom- en, the result of a plan which she de- vised in 1898 at the fourth anniversary of the first women's right meeting.
 Miss Anthony was received at the court by Emperor William and his wife, whom she charmed by her sim pie manner and dignity.
 In the following year Miss Anthony was at Portland Ore, at a great gath ering of woman suff-agists. This year she went to Baltimore and it was this journey that overtaxed her strength. She was attacked by neuralgia and had to take to her he'd. She was obliged to cancel an obligation to attend dim ner given in ner honor in New York city as symptoms of pneumonia were detected 1t was difficult for her to give up and she insisted on going to New York even in the face of her doc- tors warnng. She became suddenly weaker. however, and was forced to take to her bed.

JORDAN AND SEYMOUR.
Cotton Association Leaders Speak In
 Troy

Troy, March 12-(Special. )--The Hon. Harvie Jordan of Atlanta, Prest- dent of the Southern Cotton Associa- tion, spoke here today In the andito- rum of the Court House, Judge Henry A. Pearce adjourning court at II o'clock through courtesy to Mir. Jordan. Mir. Jordan was introduced by Mayor Charles Henderson in few we'll chosen words. He spoke about one hour to crowded house of Pike Coun- tvs representative farmers, and the closest attention was given to the very interesting and instructive address.
 MT Jordan said he did not propose to talk about production but about marketing cotton and its consumption, saying that 1t mattered not how much was made per acre or how many bales to the blow were made, if 1t cost more to make the cotton than 1t brought. all the labor was lost. He showed with many striking illustrations what small profit was made by the farmer in comparison with the manufacturer.
 He stated that the Southern cotton grower had only three competitors wool silk and foreign cotton, and that they could not compete with the Southern cotton grower even at fifteen cent cotton. He showed the farmers how with system and with working together they could command a fair price for their cotton, but admonisn- ing them by all means to farm in such a way as to have full corn cribs and their smoke house at home instead of in the West Every word uttered by MT. Jordan was sound sense and right to the point, and there is no doubt but that his address made a deep impress sion on each one of his hearers.
 After Mr. Jordan's address, very interesting talk was made by W. H. Seymour, State President of the Southern Cotton Association. Mir. Seymour's time was very limited. but he spoke along the same line as MT. Jordan, showing the farmers what great and grand work was being done by the Southern Cotton Association and by Mir. Jordan.
 On Saturday telegram was received by Sheriff S. M. Reeves from Sheriff w. H. Ouzts, of Edgefeld, South Car olina, asking him to arrest Issie Prag- CT, a clerk in one of the dry goods stores here. Later In the day Sheriff Reeves received telegram from Gov ernor Jelks, telling him to hold Prager until the officer from South Carolina gets here. Prager was arrested Sat urday night and is now in the custody of the sheriff waiting until the offi- cers shall reach here.

Washington, March, 12.--The case of the Territory of New Mexico against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and other railroad companies operat- ing in Grant County, N. M, was today dismissed for want of jurisdiction by the Supreme Court of the United States. The case involves the right of the county commissioners of Grant County to assess a tax of more than three mills on the dollar to pay judgments against the county on account of pre- vious administrations. The railroad companies resisted the levy as contra ry to the Territorial laws. The eff fort of today's action is to leave in force the decision of the Supreme Court of New Mexico, which was for the raii- roads.
