apolis club, made a serious mistake
"nen ne voted with the majority to ex-
pei Mike Kelley, ex-presiient Of the
Minneapolis club, from the American
association. -
by so doing" said the lawer. "Mr.
Watkins laid himself wide omen IN
the event of Kelley bringing suit to
recover his salary for 1907, which he
can DO under the term of his contract
from Mr.. Watkins Of the Minneapolis
club. By voting as he did Mr.. Watkins
made it appear that he wanted Kelley
expelled from the association in order
that this contract would be null and
'old. Thus 1t will be evident that Il
was case Of forcing Kelley out for
purpose. and he will have all the
best OF it; whereas, had Mr. Watkins
refused to vote with the majority. he
no fault of his that Kelley was barred
could have made the claim that It was
from the association and unable IN

ELECT CAPTAIN Of
GRAND FORKS
HIGH
Audley Roddy Named to Head
the Football Team Next
Year.

Audley Roddy has been elected cap.
tain Of the Grand Forks high school
football team for 1907. Mr.. Rodiy has
been on the team for the past two
seasons, and his remarkable playing
has thrust him to the front on more
than one occasion.
To be captain of the Granks Forks
highs Is an honor that any football
player would appreciate, and in giving
1t to Mr.. Roddy the boys feel that they
have selected a man who will work
for the good of the team all the way
through.
The Grand Forks highs claim to
be the champions this year. Last year
they were the undisputed champions,
but this year on account Of the failure
of Fargo to come and play when there
was an opportunity for SO doing there
Is some question.
The team will lose several members
next year, but 1t is expected that the
new material that developed this year
and with what will come out next year
there will be good team.

Rear Admiral Francis Charles
Bridgeman, who has recently been ap-
pointed commander In chief of the
British home fleet, was born Dec. Z,
lS4S, and is a grandson of the fifth
Earl Fitzwilliam. Admiral Bridgeman
is one of the best known and most
popular officers in the British navy.
He entered the service in 1862 and
rose through the successive grades
OF lieutenant, commander and captain,
until in 1903 he reached the rank of
rear admiral. During his long career
Admiral Bridgeman has been singu-
larly fortunate in that, unlike nearly
all the officers of the British navy, he
has had little or no opportunity of
seeing active service. But he is famous
as an able tactician and gained golden
opinions when last year he was second
In command of the channel fleet.

management Of the Metropolitan thea

not absolutely genuine, but by good
fortune avoided them and obtained the
real pictures. which settle beyond dis

and also whether Mr.. Siler could

CANNOT BE REPLACED.
Files Of Early Day Newspapers De-
stroyed at New CAPITOL.

rIolu luSSudy . bdhy'
AIinnesota's new state capitol at st.
Paul was damaged nearly $1,000 by fire
last evening, the fire originating from
spontaneous combustion.
The building was closed all day Sun
day and the offices moccupied. Shortly
before Z p. M, Otto Somers, assistant
custodian. found the flames in the stack
room of the state historical society, on
the ground floor, where the files of old
newspapers are kept in tall steel cases.
The fire department was summoned
by telephone One of the Minneapolis
companies, in st. Paul, to aid III fighting
the Ryan Annex fire, responded. The
door to the stackroom was opened and
and clouds of dense smoke and intense
heat rolled forth One of the fremen
was overcome and had to be carried out.
The fire destroyed some Ll5 volumes
of old newspapers, some of which are
not now published. In most instances
these files were the only o@es in eX-
istence. For this reason it is hard to
estiamte their value A frame filecase
of forty shelves was consumed. The
heat was so intense that steel shelves
nearby were warped and melted, and
solder ran down in streams to the floor.
Saturday the floor III the oilroom was
oiled. 1t is probable some lint from the
oily cloths accumulated under the one
frame filecase in the room, and there
ignited by spontaneous combustion.
In the ll5 volumes burned, some thir-
ty papers were represented. One of the
most valuable files destroyed was that
of the Southern Minnesota Herald, which
started publication at Brownsville in
1857.
The loss is fully covered by insur-
ance. The state board of control carried
$95O,O00 insurance on the building and
$4,000 on the contents.

FORTUNE IN A PEARL

Redwing, June 9.-Undoubtedly the
most valuable fresh water pearl in the
world today has been found by clam
fisher, William Bates, in the Wisconsin
channel opposite this city. 1t is large as
a good-siz marble, perfectly round and
without flaw, and with a luster rarely
equaled even in. small gems.
The pearl is translucent, and almost
transparent and when exposed to a
light glistens with marvellous coloring,
Its weight is eighty-fve grains, da-

perfect sold for $4,000. 1t is impossible
to estimate the true value of this gem
perhaps $4,000, perhaps 100000, de-
pending upon the rivalry between veal
thy gem collectors. Bates says he will
give $1,000 to the one giving the nearest
correct estimate of its value.
Bates and his wife, who are among
the few remaining camfshers here, had
been working hard in a scorching sun
with little reward and decided to make
one more drag. Mrs. Bates examined the

ATTACK PR MARY LAW.
Minneapolis Prohibitionists Declare
ing Filing Fee Provision illegal.

Minneapolis, June lS.-Minneapolis
prohibitionists have attacked the Min
nesota primary law, or that section of ii
that requires the payment of SIC
filing fee by candidates.
William C. Thompson, prohibition can.
didate for representative from the for
tieth district, secured writ of alter
native mandamus, returnable next
Tuesday, by which County Auditor
Hugh r. Scott is cited to- appear and
show cause why he shall not accept
Thompson's affidavit of candidacy and
place his name on the ticket free of
charge. Mr.. Thompson attempted to
file last week, but Mr. Scott would not
accept his filing without the money
Since that time the prohibitionists have
combined to test the constitutionality
of the law.
Thompson declares the assessment of
a $40 filing fee is arbitrary and uncon-
stitutional; that it is an unwarranted
interference with the electors of the
state; that it is entirely unwarranted
by the actual expense incurred by the
state or county in preparing election ma
terials; and he asserts that the income
to the state from filing fees last year
amounted to over $4,000, which he in
Inmates is graft for some one.
The Importance of the point raised is
dwelt on in the petition, for a writ and
a speedy hearing is urged, inasmuch as
electors all over the state will anXiously
await a decision.
The hearing on the alternative. writ
is set for next Tuesday. 1t may be
that both parties will agree to certify
the case directly to the supreme court
