only actual effort was the starting of a
committee of veterans for Pinar del

OF CHICAGO BANK.

Z Chicago, Sept 5.Assistant States
Attorney Barbour has made demand
on the United States government for
q warship in which to bring Paul O.
Stensland, the fugitive banker now
under arrest in Tangier, back to this
country.
The request was sent by Mr.. Bar,
bour to Governor Deneen, following a
series of communications between the
state executive and Acting Secretary
of State Adee at Washington. Mr..
Barbour urged the seeming peril of
bringing Stensland across foreign
countries where the prisoner might
suddenly balk at the prospect of re-
turning to the United States. More
over, Mr. Barbour fears that Stems
land may kill himself and points out
with vigor the advisability of having
Stensland brought back to this coun-
try as a federal prisoner on board a
warship. Attorney General Stead and
Assistant States Attorney Barnett are
busy preparing petition to President
Roosevelt asking him to see that the
government of Morocco is asked to
turn the prisoner over to the United
States authorities without trouble
This petition will be sent to Washing
ton along with other documents, in
Guiding the bench warrant for the ar
rest of Stensland.

otherwise to see his many friends in
the north end of the county. We have
never seen the time when the genial
sheriff did not meet with a hearty well

him as sheriff for years to come, and
sometimes even forget t., at it is neces-
sary at times to go through the for

the whole county, for that would be a

CANS WINS FIGHT on FOUL
NEGRO DECLARED VICTOR OVER
BATTLING NELSON IN FORTY.
~ SECOND ROUND.

Goldfeld, New, Sept 5.-After one
ut the greatest ring battles In history
Joe Cans reclaimed himself in the
opinion OF the sporting world when he
got the decision against Battling Mel
son that makes him the lightweight
champion of America .
The Dane used every unclean tao
tic known to the fstic art from the
tap of the bell until George Siler, the
referee, gave the fight to Cans on a
deliberate foul in the forty second
Shortly after the forty-second round
commenced the men We're in their
usual clinch. Nelson had his head on
Cans shoulder and his arm down.
Several times he hit Cans below the
belt, apparently feeling for vital
spot
At last he drew back his right arm
and hit Cans a vicious blow square In
the groin. The colored boy sank to
his knees and rolled over on his back.
Referee Siier. without hesitation, Or
deref Nelson to his corner and award
ed the fight 70 Cans.
Siler announced after making his
decision that Nelson had tried to foul
Cans on several occasions and that
his style of fighting was the meanest
he had ever seen in the ring. Cans
was the popular favorite from the
start and he was more of a favorite
after the battle for his fighting. He
broke several bones in his right hand
during the twenty-eighth round and
fought from then on with stubborn
courage and splendid generalship.
The receipts of the fight will run
about $4,000. There was a $4,000
purse. of which Nelson got $4,000 by
contract and Cans $4,000. In addi-
ton the remainder of the SCI 900 was
divided 40 per cent to Cans, 40 per
cent to the Goldfield syndicate that
promoted the fight and 20 per cent to

or NEWS FROM THE GREAT
SURPRISE
COMES TO minister
st. Peter Pastor, Formerly Tele-
graph Operator, Hears From
Old Pupil.

Special to The Journal.
st. Peters, Mimi, Jan. 6.-Years ago
Rev. E. E. Satterlee, at present pastor
Of the Methodist church at Fairmont,
was a Milwaukee telegraph operator,
stationed at Rose Creek, a small sta
ton in Mower county. While thus en-
ployed he took young man of the
town under tutelage. AS time passed
the paths of the two young men di-
verged and they drifted apart. Scatter
lee studied for the ministry and was
ordained, completely losing trace Of his
former pupil.
A recent mail, however, brought the
minister an envelope bearing the post
mark of Cisco, Texas, and Rev. Mr..
Satterlee was at loss to know who
had written him from that far-away
place. Breaking the seal he found a
letter from his boyhood friend and en-
closed in the packet was a substantial
check, the young telegrapher explain
ing that he had worked into the brok-
erage business and made fortune.
| He wrote that he always considered
that his success began when he learned
the workings Of the ticker in the little
old station at Rose Creek, and he asked
that his friend accept the remembrance
as recognition Of the influence he had
welded in shaping the destinies Of a
struggling young man. = <.

CHURCHES PREPARE
FOR CELEBRATIONS.
Several Golden Anniversaries
Will Soon Be Held at
Clinton.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. Is,
Clinton, Iowa, Jan. g. Clinton will be
the scene of several important church
gatherings in the coming two years, in.
cidental to the golden anniversaries Of
the founding Of nearly a dozen of the
local church societies. Several congre.
cations have already begun to arrange
for these events which will be held late
in the year 1906, and during the spring
and summer of 1907.
Clinton was fifty years old last sum
mer, and soon after the laying out Of
the city's streets came the church and
gospel. The Presbyterian society was
organized in the fall Of 1856, the Episco.
palian in the latter part Of the year
1866, the Methodist church was planned
in the early part of 1856, and the Con-
gregational and Baptist churches in the
same year The first Catholic church
was built in the spring Of 1867, but a
mission had existed here ten years prior
to that time.
The Lyons churches were founded
from five to ten years before those at
Clinton, the old town of Lyons, now a
portion Of Clinton city, having been
founded several years before Clinton
was thought Of. The Congregational so.
sciety was the first organized in that
town, and dating back to the year 1916

terests and is being operated by the
Great Northern.
Both roads, which are primarily log
ging roads, are laid with heavy steel d
and have frst-class roadbeds. They
tap heavily wooded country, poplar.
birch, oak and maple, in addition to
pine, standing thick and heavy from
the southern boundary line of the
county to the southern shore of Red
Lake. Several new towns have been
started on each line, the largest being
Campbell and Popusky, on the Mime
apolis, Red Lake & Manitoba, and ISL
and Lake on the Wilton & Northern.
Both roads are now hauling logs and
maintaining regular passenger and
freight traffic. Contrary to the gen.
eral belief that this section of the state
,, is all jack pine soil, the soil in west
ern Beltrami county, thru which these
roads run, is a heavy clay and the ter
| ritory is rapidly settling up.

The Minneapolis, Red Lake & Mani
toba has been so substantially built
that it is believed here that it will
sooner or later become a part Of the

| to Duluth 500 surveyors are now in
the field working out of Duluth and
out of Thief River and several lines
have been run both north and south Of
Bennidji. 90.
Two surveys have been made by
Engineer E. T. Abbott of Minneapolis,
this fall, between Bemidji and Detroit,
a distance of sixty-eight miles, but no
information can be obtained as to
what road is causing these surveys to
be made. Such a road would give tho
Northern Pacific an air line from De-
give the 500 valuable connection at
Detroit, with it's main line and at Be-
midi with its Duluth-Thief River
i branch
A Logging Road.
| A logging road is now being con-
structed by the Red River Lumber
company from Akeley to Mallard, in
southern Clearwater county, which
: will be about thirty miles in length.
The construction of these lines makes
Bemidji the most important railroad
center in north central Minnesota. It
is now the terminus of the Sank Gem
. ter branch of the Great Northern ard
J also of the Minneapolis, Red Lake &
Manitoba and the Wilton & Northern,
as well as having the Duluth line Of
. the Great Northern and the Minnesota
, 6 International railway. 1t seems GER
tain that a road will be built next sum-
mer into Bemidji from Detroit, and
that the 500 line into Duluth, which
; cannot much longer be postponed, will
also run thru Bemidji. The addition
| of these roads will make Bemidii the
, chief railroad town in the northern
i. half of the state.
