Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall, said today that he doubts
the genuineness of cablegram from
Richard Croker to Senator Patrick Nc
Carren In which Mr.. Croker commended
the senator's course as being manly.
-" 1t is great question in my mind
as to the genuineness of that cable
gram said Mr.. Murphy.
The message was as follows:
Congratulate you on manly stand
you, have taken, win or lose,'' caused
excitement in democratic headquarters
in Brooklyn.
To Mr.. Croker's cablegram McCar-
rem replied: nThanks for cablegram.
May I use it9'' The answer was:
"You may publish message.''

ton. Mr.. Cookers first cablegram was
received by Senator McCarren Oct. 81.
Mr.. McCarren said he expected Mr..
Croker to return to the United States
soon after election.

An incident of old-fashioned honesty
and simplicity in life insurance man
agement occurred last week which
should impress more than it will-those
whom the yellow press has persuaded
that every corporation is marked with
graft, and every life Insurance company
with extravaganza. -
A meeting Of the Agency Association
of the State Mutual Life Assurance
Company of Worcester, Mass, was held
at st. Louis following the National Life
Underwriters convention. It lasted
only one day, was held at st. Louis to
save the expense of a tri p to Worcester,
and the agents paid their own expenses.
Superintendent of Agencies b. H.
Wright and Actuary E. j. Sartelle met
the agents in. the room of one of them
in the Planters hotel and explained
the new policies and other changes
which will come with 1907; and. in the
| evening Messrs. Sartelle and Wright
entertained the agents at dinner. This
was all there was Of the meeting; and
the entertainment described represented
the total expense account assumed by
the company in connection with this
very important yearly event.
Yet, every agent was brim full of low
atty and enthusiasm, and cheerfullv
paid his own bills and accepted re-
ducIlOn IN future commissions. - Why
Because Of the business value to eack
agent of the reputation for conserva.3
tism, economy and honesty which tha1
State Mutual's record for So years has
gained.

Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 1.-THE last Big
rally Of the campaign on the part Of

night, when Congressman James Taw-
ney, J. F. jacobson and NJ. Martinson
delivered addresses, the aforementioned

the rink in Lincoln park at the West
End. The weather was fine and the
turnout large.
A parade Of republican clubs moved
on West Superior street with music be-
fore the meeting at the armory was be-
gun. Congressman Tawney delivered a
strong address and was received with
much enthusiasm. 4 =
Mr.. jacobson and Professor Martin
son were greeted with an enthusiastic
audience, also.
The mention of the name Of A. L.
Cole was invariably the signal for an
outburst Of applause.
| The sentiment in Duluth is much
stronger now than at any time that A.
L. Cole will be elected. The easy con-
fidence and strong claims Of the dem
ocrats were iisconcerting the first few
changed now and the democrats are
on the defense.
Osakis, Mimi, Nov. 1.-Senator
Moses D. Clapp and E. s.. Durment of
st. Paul, addressed an audience of 400
people at the opera house, It was a
magnificent rally and a good deal of

his audience spell bound. It was the
best meeting held in Douglas county

2-CENT STAMP COSTLY
Mckee Of Benson Pays $500 Fine After
Long Delay.

Oliver w. Mckee, the Benson veterin-
airy surgeon, appeared before Judge Will
liam Lochren today, pleaded guilty to
using Cancelled postage stamp, and was
fined 500, which he paid. Mckee was
arra1gned at the last term of the United
States district court but asked time to
return to Benson and get the amount of
his fine before pleading. The permission
was granted and McKeen went. He
failed to show up when his case was
called and a bench warrant was issued.
Until deputy marshal appeared on
the scene Mckee seemed to think the
matter joke. He wrote once to the
district attorneys office enclosing $50 as
part payment on his fine. The official
replied that he could not fix his own fine,
but must appear in court. Mckee ig-
nored this letter, but wrote again, en-
closing a check for $50 and saying that
he wished they would stop bothering
him.
When pleading guilty before Judge
Lochren today Mckee tried to explairt
that the use of the Cancelled stamp was
an accident, but Assistant District At
torney J. M. Dickey pointed out that the
government had proof of five distinct
offenses, and the Judge ignored the ex-
cuse. --.' s.,,-.,,, .sy5s <. -. ~. =, 4

defendants are evading the bucketshor
law by obtaining written statements
from their customers, and it is alleged
that the Minneapolis Independent Grain

Washington, Nov. 1.-The depart

regarding the manufacture of denatur-
ed alcohol. ~ n =

under which the farmer would be re-
CURED to conduct his still if he en-
gagged in the manufacture, it is evident
that he. must be content with produc-
ing the raw materials and that he can
not look forward to becoming a practi-

ject Of sources and manufacture says:

fThe principal uses Of Industrial al
cohol are illumination, heating, motive

varnishes, smokeless powder, medicinal

hol is made at a price at which it can
compete with petroleumsrand gasolene,
it. doubtless will, be preferred for the

is not probable that industrial alcohol

less than 40 cents a gallon. Of 95 per

DR.. Wiley expresses the belief, how
ever that by paying attention to IN
improved methods Of manufacturing
and denaturing, this price can be dim

st. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-The foreign
office has now received full reports of
the killing of Lieutenant Sotnikoff, a
Russian officer, and twelve Kamchat-
kans, by Japanese fish preachers. Lieu
tenant Sotnikoff and his party arrived
at the depot of the Kamchatke Trad
ing company, mile from the mouth
of the river Vovoskais, and found five
Japanese fishing schooners there, their
crews being encamped across the river,
with stores Of flour and rice and about
10000 sailed fish.
Sotnikoff confscated two nets and
the -four and rice and demanded the
payment of a fine Of 1000 rubles. The
leader of the Japanese, physician
named Sakhi, who formerly was a pris-
oner of war at Valdivostok, approached
Sotnikoff and asked him whether he
intended to release the schooners.
Sotnikoff replied that probably they
would be detained. Thereupon Sakhi
stabbed Sotnikoff fatally and the Jap
anese with knives and clubs rushed
upon the twelve fKamchatkans and
killed them all. !!

STUDENTS CHANGE DATES
Dramatic Club VIII Present Play on
|: Nov. 8 In johnson Hall. - :

u Z :
The date Of the University Dramatic
clubs presentation of plays has been
changed from Nov. 7 to Nov. s.. The
place is the Johnson School of Music.
An unusual feature in connection with
the plays at this time is the cooperation
of the Enterpean Singing society, of
which Carlyle M. Scott is the director.
The society will furnish the music before
and between the plays.
The impression existing in many minds
that the Johnson hall has large seating
capacity is erroneous. The capacity is
400. The club management will not sell
any seats above that number. All the
seats are reserved. No attempt will be
made to sell over the number 400, as the
affair is not a money making one, the
management feels justified in taking this
stand. AS no more than one chance will
be given to see the three plays, it is adj
visable that all desirous of seeing Dr.
Burton in play Of his own making, as
well as seeing the dramatic club, reserve
seats at once. ~
