Double Function at Bemidji
on Feb. Z, 1908.
GOVERNOR SIGNS WARRANTS
Necktie Party to Be Given to Reduce
Expenses: Victims May Appeal
to Pardon Board.

st. Paul Oct 26.-Minnesota is due
to have double hanging Friday, Feb.
/. 1908, the first in many years. Two
men will swing from the same scat
fold.
Today Governor Johnson selected the
above date for the execution of Mer-
ton S. Mum and Peter Mathieson,
both convicted at Bemidji for muir
der in the first degree. Sentence was
imposed on both by Judge McClana
han on Oct. 5.
Murder was the crime of each, Mum
shot August Franklin last June, and
MathiesOn killed Johan Johanson in a
gun fight in February. Both murders
were cold blooded and at the trials YER
diets of guilty were quickly rendered.
Sentence was imposed on both at the
same time.
Governor Johnson says he is opposed
to capital punishment as he does not
believe in it, but it is the law, and he
refused to allow his views to interfere
with his duty. The idea of having
the two men hanged at the same time
is to lessen the cost to the county of
Beltrami, which will have to stand the
expense.
1t is expected that both men will ap-
peal to the supreme court, and in the
event that tribunal fails them, to the
board of pardons.

Nearly a $4,000 Estate to
Mrs. Minnie GOWen.
ANNUITY FOR MRS. L. CRESSY
Most of Property Consists of a Large
Amount of Personal Securities;
Must Pay an Income Tax.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The will of the late Mrs. Cornelia NJ.
Marsh was today filed for probate. 1t
is dated Aug. l6, 1902 The schedule
accompanying the will estimates the
value of the property at $4,000 per-
sonal and $4,000 real, the latter con-
sisting of improved residence property.
The will provides an annuity of
5000 a year to the sister of the de-
ceased, Mrs. Althea L. Cressy, during
her life time. All of the rest of the
property, save enough to provide this
annuity, estimated at $4,000, is to be
equally divided between the two
daughters of Mrs. Cressy, Minnie B.
Gowen and Florence Cressy. If either
dies, the other is to receive all of the
share of the deceased sister. The two
nieces are named as executors.
Since the will was made, one of Mrs.
Marsh's nieces, Miss Florence Cressy,
has died, so her sister, Mrs. Gowen,
will receive the entire estate, except
the amount needed to insure the an
nuity to her mother, and upon her
mothers death will also receive the
portion devoted to producing the an
nuity. Mrs. Cressy's home is at Ches-
terrified, n. III.
The estate is of sufficient size to be
subject to the income tax

.HOLDAFAT STOCK SHOW

Everything Will Be Conducted on q

st. Paul. Oct. 2S.-At an executive
meeting of officials of the Northwest
ern Live Stock association in charge
of the Fat Stock show to be given
at South st. Paul Nov. 10 to %,
inclusive, matters were rounded into
shape for vigorous operations.
1t was decided to secure mammoth
tent, 100 by 200 feet at the base to
be placed at the east side of the sales
pavilion of the horse exchange, in
which the individual exhibits of sheep
and swine and the carload lots of
sheep will be exhibited. One OF the
fine brick horse barns will be used
to display the individual cattle while
the carload lots will be placed in the
first row of pens at the portals of
the stock yards.
The tent and barns will be pro-
fusely decorated in the .colors of the
show which are officially announced
as red and white. j. r. Hills of
Chicago, an expert in decoration, was
present to give counsel and he will
have practical charge of this feature
of the work. J. J. Ferguson, a mem
Der of the executive committee, also
of Chicago, was present at yesterdays
meeting.
A campaign will be inaugurated at
once to secure the fitting decoration
of the down town streets of South

Supreme Tribunal Issues an
Edict to Attorneys.
MUST NOT GET TOO GAY
Judges, in Denying Application for a
Rehearing, Warn Lawyers to
Be Very Good.

st. Paul, Oct. 2S.-Getting funny
with the supreme court Of Mime
sofa, or handing it a roast clothed in
legal verbiage is no longer profitable.
Nor has it been since Aug. %, when
that tribunal handed down decision
denying the application of NJ. H. Bou-
tell, Minneapolis lawyer, for re-
hearing in the case of j. F. Kelly and
Norman Fetter, respondents, VS.. The
Liverpool London & Globe Insurance
company, appellants.
For reasons best known to the court,
the order, per curiam decision, was
sent to the file vault, to repose with
others of its kind, ferreting on the
part of The Dispatch bringing it to
light only today.
The weekly leafet of the courts do
ings, published by the law publishing
houses, contained it, but that was all.
No more applications that contain
frivolous or impertinent matter will be
considered, says the court, in making
the order.
The Globe Insurance company case
attracted attention when Harris Rich
ardson, a st. Paul attorney acting for
the plaintiff, made application for a
rehearing, following findings against
his clients and accompanied the same
with brief that was warm to a de-
gree.
His. request was granted and the new
findings handed down were in favor
of the plaintiff. Thereupon NJ. HI.
Boutell of Minneapolis, attorney for
the defendant, also made an applica-
ton for the reopening of the case
and the brief submitted by him was
even warmer than Mr.. Richardson's.
This evidently spurred the court on
to ordering the lid applied, and the
cover is effectively fitted in the an
swer made by that tribunal.
The supreme court will simply not
stand for any more impertinence and
says so in the following order in the
Kelly case:
''The case is that of John F. Kelley
and Norman Fetter, as trustees, re-
spondents, against the Liverpool, Lon
don & Globe Insurance company. The
decision is a per curtain ruling, as
follows:
SIN denying the defendants applica-
ton for a rehearing in this action, we

President Roosevelt Issues His Proc
lamation. Prosperity Has Been
Frausht With Danger.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
President Roosevelt's Thanksgiving
proclamation reads as follows:
''Once again the season of year has
come when in accordance with the GUS
tom of our forefathers for generations
past the president appoints day as
especial occasion for all our people to
give praise and thanksgiving to God.
During the past year we have
been free from famine, from pestilence,
from war. We are at peace with all
the rest of mankind. Our natural re-
sources are at least as great as those
of any other ration. We believe that
in ability to develop and take ad-
vantage of these resources the average
man of this nation stands at least
as high as the average man of any
there such an opportunity for free
people to develop to the fullest extent
all its powers of body, of mind, and
of that which stands above both body
and mind-characte
Much has been given us from on
high and much will rightly be eX-
pected of us in return. Into our care
ten talents have BEEN entrusted, and
we are to be pardoned neither if we
squander and waste them, nor yet if
we hide them in a napkin, for they
must be fruitful i'm our hands ever
throughout ages, at all times and
among all peoples. Prosperity has
been frought with danger and it be-
hooves us to beseech the Giver of all
things that we may not fall into love
of ease and of luxury, that we may
not lose our sense of moral response
bility, that we may not forget our
duty to God and to our neighbor.
"a great democracy like ours, dem
ocracy based upon the principles of
orderly liberty, can be perpetuated
only if in the heart of the ordinary
citizen there dwells a keen sense of
righteousness anu JuSllce. We oHouiu
earnestly pray that this spirit of
righteousness and justice may grow
ever greater in the hearts of all of
us, and that our souls may be inclined
evermore both toward the virtues that
fell for gentleness and tenderness, for
loving kindness and forbearance, one
with another, and toward these the
no less necessary virtues that make
for manliness and rugged hardihood
for without these qualities neither ma
ton nor individual can rise to the
level of greatness.
'Now, therefore, /, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States,
do set apart Thursday, the twenty
eighth day of November, as day of
general thanksgiving and prayer, and
on that day l recommend that the peo-
pie shall cease from their daily work.
and in their homes or in their churches
meet devoutly to thank the Almighty
for the many and great blessings they
have received in the past, and to pray
that they may be given strength so to
order their lives as to deserve con-
tinuation of these blessings in the flu
ture"
