mutted to Life Imprisonment

St. Paul, Oct. 26.-(Special to
Pioneer.) - Yesterday afternoon,
Governor Johnson filed the papers
setting the dates on which M. S.
Mum and Peter Marhieson, who
are now confined in the Beltrami
county jail at Bemidji, shall be
hanged.
Friday (the proverbial hangman's
day. February 9TH, was the date
chosen by the governor when there
will be a double hanging within the
walls of the Beltrami county Jail,
unless the counsel for the two men
succeed in securing the sentences
committed to life imprisonment, or
obtain an order for a stay of pro-
ceedings awaiting the outcome of
application for a new trial.
The governor very much disliked
the task officially thrust upon him,
but recognized his plain duty and

BELIEVES PARCELS POST
GOOD FOR THE MERCHANTS
Congressman HaYor Steenerson Gives Interesting Inter-
view Relative to the Much Discussed Proposition and
His Views as to Its Workings.

York for "a cents, whereas, if the
package was addressed to any post
office in Great Britain, Scandinavia,
France, Germany or any of the %
countries in the International parcel
convention, it would be carried for
As cents, and not only this, but a
package weighing more than four
pounds would be refused if addressed
to post office in the United States
or its dependencies, but would be
carried to foreign post Offices men,
toned.
The Postmaster General has
announced that he intends to rec
ommend to congress the establish
ment of uniform rates for parcels,
reducing the domestic parcel post
to II cents per pound and increas-
ing the weight of the package to II
pounds, so as to correspond, both in
rate and weight to the foreign
schedule. He proposes to recon-
mend the adoption of special rate
for parcels on rural routes 50 that
any package mailed by patron of
the same route, or at the distributing
post office on such route, the charge
shall be cents for the first pound
and two cents for each additional
pound up to II pounds, or Is cents
for package weighing II pounds.
If this proposal should be
adopted the result will be a differ
ential in favor of the local merchant
for it would cost the mail order
houses II cents a pound or $1.52
for II pounds, whereas, the merchant
at the distributing post office, or
any patron on the rural route could

Congressman SteenerSon has given
out the following interview relative
to the much-mooted parcels post
proposition:
I notice that the subject of par
eel post has been considered by
retail and wholesale merchants
throughout the country and that
they seem to fear the prospect of
the inauguration of parcel post.
Now, there seems to exist a good
deal of misinformation on this sub
ject among the people Judging, from
the different views that have been
expressed.
In the first place it should be
remembered that we now have
parcel post in the United States, in
as much as the postal service car
ries packages up to four pounds at
the rate of postage of Is cents
pound.
In the next place we have inter-
national parcel post, which has been
arranged by postal agreement with
twenty-five different foreign coun-
tries under which parcel con-
ventions packages to the weight
of II pounds are carried at the rate
of y cents per pound.
1t should be remembered that
the first kind of parcel post, which
is limited to the United States and
its dependencies, is established by
statute, and by another international
agreement. But there is a regret
able incongruity between the two,
with the result that a person now
could send a package from Crooks

LATEST FROM OFFICIAL
NARRATOR, WILLIAM JOSIE
The Sage Of the Blackduck handcar
Club Gives the Pioneer a Recent
''SpieI."

William Josie, the official narrator
for the Blackduck Handcar Club,
has gotten hold of new one" He
sprung it, on the Pioneer man, yes
terday, about as follows:
Il remember being in North
Dakota the fall of 1889 working
with threshing crew, and recall a
remark made by one of the crew, a
French-Canadian named Doucette,
that was about as good a get-of as
I ever heard, that is, considering the
source from which it came, this man
Doucette being very quiet, and not
overly bright, and like most of his
kind, his English was very poor as
to quality.
1T was the first time the cream
separators came out, and as most of
the Dakota farmers are careless as
to how they feed the "hoboes," as
they used to call us, we used to fare
pretty slim.
The milk this farmers wife used to
dish up to us at the table first under
went the cream separator process.
The consequences were that the
milk, when it got to US, was about
the taste and color of a tub of bluing
water, after a big days washing
had been rinsed through it.
We'll, we were at breakfast, and
it began to rain little. The farmers
wife was pretty gabby. She made
the remark that there would be no
work that day. One of the men,
not noticing the weather, asked why.
She said: 1t is raining The man
looked out of the window and said,
Sure enough, it is.'
"Doucette, who had not spoken,
looked up from from his plate and
said Wal, yas, she's rain. I tink
dats bettaire you tar papier your
COW. She's leek lax the dev; de
rain she all pass on de milk; haint
het?,
Nothing more was said in regard
to the weather."

alton, among others set the dates
for the Bemidji hanging.
1t is known that the governor has
an abhorrance of the inhiction of
capital punishment, an impression
gained in his youth, at St. Peter, hav-
ing made great impression upon
him.
1t is understood here that, the
attorneys for Mum and Mathieson
intend to make every effort to save
their clients from suffering the death
penalty, and it is intimated that
some officials around the capital
wish them success in their efforts
to commute the sentences to life
imprisonment.

cents.
In view of the usually exhorbi-
tant rate of express companies there
is general demand : for more ex-
tended parcel post service. and it
would seem that if the opposition
of the local merchants and whole.
salers dependent upon them could
be thus overcome the proposed re
forms would meet with general
approval"
