Ex-Governor Mcconnell is out in a
statement denunciatory of Governor
Gooding for asking the banks of Idaho
to take up an issue of $4,000 of def
cheney warrants in order that the state
may have funds with which to assist in
the prosecution of the persons charged
with the assassination of ex Governor
Steunenberg. The Ex-Governor takes
the position that Governor Gooding is
exceeding his authority in this matter.
He says:
"While the people throughout the
State are unanimous in demanding
that not only those who perpetrated
the murder of Ex-Governor Stennen-
berg, but also those who instigated the
same, shall be punished as provided by
law 1t is generally understood that
the duty of the Governor goes no fur
ther than to offer proper rewards for
the capture of the guilty parties. After
their apprehension and delivery to the
officers of the county wherein the muir
der was committed his function ceases. ."

London.-One Of the quaintest be-
quests on record is to be found in the

lin.
Mr.. Hayes was director of T. Lyons

his said daughter on the first day after
his death (should she SO long survive
him), $999.99 on the second day after

REMOVES PART OF LIVER.
Physician Performs Unique Opera
ton on Wounded Man, Saw
ing His Life.

Chicago-Hospitals of this city are
rapidly establishing reputation for un-
usual cases. During the last week three
cases of international interest have de-
veloped. An entirely new idea of treat.
ment of gunshots through the liver was
brought out by a conference of physi-
clans at the Peoples hospital in the
case of Hermann johnson, shot through
the liver by q negro. Johnson's life was
despaired Of by the best physicians of
the South side until DR.. Gary, head of
the Peoples hospital. was summoned.
He had seen a similar case of Diffusion
some years ago in Germany.
As soon as the intestines and the vi
tai organs were laid bare DIR. Gary rec
ognized the necessity of immediate OPP
GRAFTON. 1t was foreseen that fatal con-
sequences might ensue and the relatives
of the sick man were called to the bed
side, but were forbidden entrance to the
operating-room.
After consultation 1t was deemed nee
essary to remove q portion of the liver
of the victim in order to save his life.
This was accordingly done, the opera
ton being the second of the kind per-
formed in this country and the fourth
ever performed. The operation was so
successful that Johnson's recovery is
now confidently predicted.

WAR ON
Thief River Falls Local Exchange Is
Out With the Northwestern People
Trl.State People Get Busy.

Crookston Times: There is war on
between the Northwestern Telephone
company and H. FAINT, manager Of the
Thief River Falls exchange. AS a re-
suit the Northwestern people have
taken the long distance telephone out
OF the central Office there and now
have 1t located in the Rushford hotel.
This Is a great inconvenience to the
public, as now In order to answer a
long distance call trip has to be
be made to the Rushford, which for
merly could be answered over the To-
cal telephone.
The people living north on the
Greenbush line are in a decidedly
worse fix, for while they used to make
connection, at Thief River Falls with
the Northwestern, this cannot now be
done, and Thief River Falls is as far
as they can telephone. 1t is said, how
ever, that the Northwestern intends
to make application to the city coun-
Gil for the privilege of putting in a
local telephone exchange there, and
of course this will be fought BY Mr..
FAINT.
Yesterday C. p. Trepanier Of Grand
Forks, representing the Twin City
Telephone company. made arrange
nlents with FAINT to build line into
Thief River Falls, and as result
that city will soon have two long dis
lance telephones. Mr.. Trepanier also
said that his company was going to
build a line to all towns along the 500
extension from Thief River Falls to
Kenmare, N. D., Their line now runs
north to Ardock, N. D., from Grand
Forks and the line to come from Thief
River Falls will come from Ardock.

MAKES "FoRoERY" LAWFUL
Court Decides Buyer Of Railway
Ticket Can Sign Sellers Name
to It Without Peril.

New York.-The right to sign an
other mans name to railroad ticket
which has been sold by one passenger
to another has been affirmed by the
supreme court here. The decision es-
tablishes precedent.
The decision was given by Justice
Leventritt in the case Of Archibald G.
Newburn, accused Of having forged
the name of George e. Whitcomb to
q railroad ticket. Whitcomb was the
original purchaser Of this ticket and
sold 1t to Newburn.
Newburn was arrested when he
signed Whitcomb's name to the tick,
et. Justice Leventritt held the mere
sale Of the ticket carried with it the
purchasers right to sign to it the
name Of the man from whom he
bought It. t<

Carnegie Hires Noted Musician to
Awaken Him Daily from slum-

New York.-Andrew Carnegie is
awakened every morning by music.
Just as the clock strikes eight each
day, the first notes Of Lead, Kindly
Light" or Silent Night his two ia
vorites, roll out of the pipes of an
immense organ in his home in Fifth
avenue. rousing the steel king for the
day and starting the machinery of the
household to work.
Whether Mr.. Carnegie wakes when
the first bars are played, or whether
he is gradually reused from slumber,
depends, he says, on how tired he is.
At any rate, he believes in being
brought back to consciousness by the
music of some hymn he loves, SO that
the first thoughts will be restful,
soothing, and give him Inspiration for
the day.
The instrument is played by Wal

SNAKES HEART AS A CURE
Girl Says Rattler's Vital Organ
Stopped the White Plague
Physicians Astounded,

Williamsport, Pa.-The apparent
cure Of a case of consumption, the
family claim, through the efficacy of
the heart of a rattlesnake, has astound-
ed the physicians here.
Members of the medical profession
are watching the case of Miss Stella
Woolever, wondering whether a new
cure for the white plague has been dis
covered. The case is a remarkable one.
the more so because it bears out
claims made by the girls parents re-
garding the cure. and apparently cor
rOborates stories which were regarded
as fertile imagination.
Miss Woolever was in the last stages
OF consumption. The physicians at
tending her, after consultation. as
sured her parents that she could not
live q week. Then it was that they in.
sisted on trying the cure they had
spoken of several times, that of swal-
lowing the heart of a rattlesnake as
soon after the death of the reptile as
possible. While it was regarded as
merely superstition, the physicians

experiment followed.
A rattlesnake was found, after a
hunt, and killed before it could bite
itself. The heart was removed and was
washed down the girls throat with
water. To the establishment of the
physicians, the patient, who is 20 years
old, showed almost immediate inn
provement. The following day she
had no sinking spell, and the next day
was much better. Later she left the
bed she had occupied and walked to
the home of q neighbor.
The consulting physicians held an
other consultation and decided to ad-
wise that another heart be given the
4 girl. A hunt is now going on in the
neighborhood for the snake that is to
furnish the heart.

JOHNSON LOST
HIS ROLL


in East Grand Forks LAST Evening
He Had No Clear Idea Where It
Went.
This morning a sadder but wiser
citizen of the thriving little city of
Milo, this state, j. M. johnson by
name, left for home. He arrived in
Grand Forks Thursday and drifted to
the east side some time yesterday.
Things became tangled in his fringe
of consciousness, and when he came
to life this morning, he was minus
$107, which he alleges he lost in East
Grand Forks.
johnson is member of the firm Of
j. M. johnson & Co., OF Milo, and is
a man of middle years. He did not
intend to get mixed up with the East
Grand Forks fire water, but he did
and his troubles resulted.
He remembers being in several
saloons and believes that he was re-
lieved Of his wad in one of the north
side places, some distance from the
bridge but was unable to find the
place.
1t is probable that johnson became
very much intoxicated and that some
obliging companion relieved him of
his money. The stolen property con-
sisted of draft for $S7 drawn in favor
of the firm of ]. M. johnson & Co. by
a Chicago bank, and $40 in currency.
The police have investigated the
matter as best they could with the
meagre data which Johnson had at
hand, but have been unable to learn
anything of the whereabouts of the
missing money.
Johnson left for his home at Milo
this morning.

Jersey City Pastor Would Instruct
Young Women in Staying Bur-
glars-Prophesies Evil for
Midnight Maurauders.

New York.-Rev. John L. Scudder.
pastor Of the First Congregational church
and superintendent of the Peoples Pal
ace, Jersey. proposes to teach young
women how to kill burglars. He has
built revolver range at the Peoples
Palace, and, In discussing its purpose
said:
, Il purpose to teach the young women
OF Jersey City to shoot and not to be
afraid of firearms. In that way this
will be an unhealthy field for burglars.
It young woman finds burglar in
her home at night she should shoot
HIM That is what would do. And
I can do it, too.
Il always keep pistol close to my
bed, and if a burglar were to come into
my house, would order him to drop
the goods and throw up his hands. If
he didn't I would put bullet through
him. That is the way young women
should act, rather than swoon and then
tell the police all about it,
In the Peoples Palace there are 500
young women members. Among them
are the best society folk of the Bergen
section, which is to Jersey City what
Back bay is to Boston. Here the
wealthiest citizens of Hudson county
live and burglars make it their field
of operations. Only recently two
thieves cleaned up $4,000 worth of jew
elry and escaped, with the women
screaming after them.
1.-The trouble with the American
young woman is that she fears fire.
arms-especially those young women
who live in the east" said DR.. Scud-
der. Cur English cousins are not
that kind. Many of them can shoot
and have the nerve to. There is no
question of the nerve of the American
girl, but she does not know how to
handle a rifle or revolver, and natu-
rally is timid about such things. There
would be fewer burglaries if this were
not the case. Burglars should be shot
down in their tracks. They do not
hesitate to take life if their liberty is
in danger. and no one should hesitate
to shoot them"
