Franklin said that he was going
to drive Mum out of the house, and
accused his wife of having been on
too intimate terms with him. Mum
entered the house at this time and
the men met. Some words were
spoken, and it is alleged Franklin
struck Mum, who drew a revolver
and shot Franklin through the heart,
death resulting instantly.
After the shooting Mum gave
himself up to the village marshall,
and was later taken in charge by the
sheriff. At the preliminary examin-
alton he waived hearing, and has
been held at the Jail here since.
Mrs. Jennie Anderson and Chas.
Scrutchins were this afternoon
arraigned on indictments returned
today by the grand jury charging
Mrs. Anderson with forgery and
Mr.. Scrutchin and Mrs. Anderson
jointly with grand larceny. Both
will plead tomorrow, and gave bonds
for appearance. J. F. Gibbons
appeared for Mrs. Anderson, and
E. E. Mcdonald, J. F. Gibbons and
P. ]. Russell will represent Mr..
Scrutchin.
The indictments grow out of the
fraudulent conversion of an insur.
ance policy in the Ancient Order of
United Workmen paid under mis-
representation to Mrs. Anderson,
over a year ago. Mr.. Scrutchin,
who is local attorney of note made
out the claim and other papers in
connection with collection of the
amount of the policy, and to the
Pioneer stated that his, connection
was simply that he was the attorney
for Mrs. Anderson and had no
knowledge whatever that she was
not the right beneficiary.
The jury in the case of George D.
Bread VS.. Paul Winksley and J. P.
Lahr, involving the title to a house
and lot in the city of Bemidji, Sat-
urday evening brought in a verdict
for defendant.
Thos. Otis of Nymore, who was
indicted last week on the charge of
assault in the second degree, this
morning with the consent of the
county attorney, plead guilty to
simple assault. He came up for
sentence this afternoon and was
given 90 days in the county Jail
without option of fine.
The grand jury visited the county
poor farm this afternoon, and will
adjourn tonight.

MUM TRIAL FOR MURDER
OF FRANKLIN BEGUN TODAY
Work Of Impaneling Jury Begun Jury Will Finish
Work This Evening. ....kIunn Trial Will Probably
Take Most Of tho Week.

This morning the case Of the State
VS.. M. S. Mum for the murder of
August Franklin was called, and a
special venire of 20 was issued, made
returnable at 3 o'clock this after
noon.
The work of selecting a jury in
the Mum case taken up this morn
ing, proves to be rather harder than
had been anticipated, and up to 2::3O
O'Clock, but one juror had been
selected out of twelve talesmen
called. The juror who passed the
examination on both sides is A. D.
Simpkins of Turtle River, whose
name was the fourth called.
Up to the time of going to press
the state had used three peremptory
challenges and the defense three.
The other jurors have failed to pass
the triers.
Mum was brought into the court
room shortly after 10 O'Clock this
morning, and smile was on his
lips as he took his place at table
just inside the railing set apart for
the attorneys for the defense. He
conversed freely with his counsel,
and took lively interest in the pro-
ceeding. ~
Mum is 80 years of age, dark
complicated and of slight build. He
apparently is confident of his case,
and sat through the opening pre-
liminaries cool and unconcerned.
County Attorney Henry Funkley
is conducting the prosecution, and J..
D. Taylor of Warroad, assisted by
E. D. Clough of Crookston, has
charge Of the defense. They will
plead that their client acted in self
defense. @. =
The court this morning named J.
F. Gibbons, A. M. Crowell and A. A.
Andrews triers, and it is expected
that but little trouble will be had in
selecting jury.
The crime for which Mum is on
trial was committed at Spooner June
II, and was the outgrowth of ill
feeling between Franklin and Mum.
Mrs. Franklin was interested in
a restaurant venture with Mum, and
up to short time before the trag-
edy matters had run along smoothly.
On the morning of the shooting Mrs.
Franklin was in bed sick, and her
husband came in her room for the
first time in several days, and they
engaged in a quarrel about the way
business had been going, and the
name Mum was drawn into the
conversation.

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR FAIR
BEING LITERALLY MADE
Many Are Voluntarily Placing Their
Names on the List for Required
Fund.

The work of securing funds to pay
the expenses of the forthcoming fair
is progressing very satisfactorily.
Since yesterday noon a grand
rally has been made in circulating
the $40 subscription list, with the
result that a large number of new
names have been added to the list.
The committee has not received a
single turn-down, as the strictly
business-like manner in which the
fair is being conducted precludes
any suspicion of graft" or other
insinuation, except that all of the
funds will be appropriated to a good
purpose.
There is still considerable sum
needed, and the committee is con-
tinuing its good work.
Subscriptions of the $40 list to
date are as follows:

 as soon as the wax had hardened, he drew out the wooden plug and placed the tube with the wax inside of 1t in an oven kept at such temperature, that the wax was almost, but not quite, at the melt ing point. In this condition the volatile oil evaporated and the soft wax grew smaller and shrank in volume till 1t shrank away from the inside surface of the tube, so that 1t could be removed without rubbing or breaking off the lit- tie points on it's surface that had run up Into the tiny holes and irregularities in the innner surface of the tube. It re- quired very careful work and many un- successful experiments to do this proper ly, but at last 1t was accomplished sue cessfully and he had a hollow tube with a roughness on the outside like the roughness on the inside of the copper tube, a matrix of the inner roughness of the copper On examination of it, how ever he discovered that what he had taken for holes on the inside of the cop per tube was In reality raised points very close together and that the surface of the waxen cylinder, smooth as an en- tirety, was in reality filled with small holes, very close together and running in a fine, spiral line all around 1t. from one end to the other. He was almost speechless with amazement when he ob-

 During all this panic a frightened wo- man with a small baby in her arms was standing on top of a chair, screaming at the top of her voice, and too frightened to move. One of the reporters saw her, and. running to her assistance. took the baby told her to follow. and ran up the stairs to a long flight of steps leading to the Natural Bridge road. The woman followed and the reporter saw her safely down the steps. Then he started out only to discover that some panic-stricken person had closed and locked the entry gate at the foot of that stairway.
 Most of the crowd had escaped, but the reporter and the baby were with dozen or more persons penned in a narrow space, with the fire sweeping over them but high in the air.
 The reporter, who knew the intricate ways under the stand, led the run, and the crowd fled through the old palm gar den. with the flames forming a roof above them. and out into the clear field

 For nearly an hour the reporter, carry ing the squalling baby, sought to find the mother-and bore the gibes of his &C., quaintances, and then he got no Carne- ge medal.

Badgering a Witness.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger A lawyer for the defense in a recent case tried to discredit an old negro who had been called as a witness, by such questions as:
 'So your name is Sam Miller is it ? Are you the Sam Miller who was arrest ed and sent to prison for stealing?'
 'No, sah,' replied the darkey.
 No? Well, then. you are the Sam Mill Ter, aren't you, who smashed a lot of store windows once when drunk and dis orderly?'
 No, sah, Ise not dat Sam Miller, neither'
 But you've been in jail, haven't your" "Yes r-once."
 'Ah-h-h-h! For how long?'
 Bout an hour sir.
 An hour! Be careful I'm very par ticular-very particular-to get the truth Now, what do you mean by saying you were in jail for only an hour?''

The Pope's Loeb.

From Current Literature for June.
 Should it turn out true, as so many newspaper correspondents in Rome are predicting. that Plus X will relieve Car dinal Raphael Merry del Val of the post of pontifcal secretary of state, the whole Vatican must mourn its most eli gible scapegoat For this youngest and most conspicuous of all the members of the sacred college performs for His Holi- ness that function of bearing the blame for every embarrassing situation which renders William Loeb, Jr. so comforting to the President of the United States. There would be peace now between France and the Vatican, say the enemies of Merry del Val, were it not for the blind intolerance of the pontifical secre- tary of state, even as there never, ac- cordng to some, would have been any mention of undesirable citizens if MT. Loeb were not concerned with presiden- tial correspondence. When Michigan brewery sent MT. Roosevelt sixty bottles of beer. MT. Loeb had to endure the in evitable eensures of the Woman's Tenn perance Union. When case of antcler- ical wine was admitted to the Vatican 1t was easily demonstrated that Cardinal Merry del Val must be at fault Out of the futter occasioned by the publication b4 the Rooseveltian countepance in cer- saan Pads and Fancies' grew the the

good photograph and called In an ex. pert worker in metals to make 1t fit tho wax impression he had taken of the in. side of the ancient relic of Egyptian art
 The work was soon done, the cylindet put in place, the needle lowered onto iti surface and the machinery started, and as it did so there thrilled out through tho room the soft, sweet, melodious voice of a woman, singing what Is undoubtedly an ancient love song, or a song portray. ing some manner of tender sentiment In tongue that has not been heard on earth before for probably something likt 5000 years. and which no man, even thu most learned Egyptologist, can under stand, for the ancient Egyptian tongue is utterly dead as to the sound of 1t and is known only by the meaning of tht written words.
 But what was, perhaps, the strangest of all. Is that the tune In which the song was sung is perfectly familiar to all, being exactly the tune In which we today sing Annie Laurie'
 It fs a common saying that there ia nothing new in the world, and the fact that the Egyptians used to set songs 1000 years ago to the tune of Annie Laurie goes far to prove the assertion.
 An effort will now be made by the pro- lessor and his scientific friends to obtain still other similar records.

A NEW ANEcDoTE OF LINCOLN.
Not as "The President" That He Called on Ills Old Friend George Pickett.

From the World Today.
 The day after the great fire following the fall of Richmond Lincoln, with q small body guard, walked through the streets of the charred city. As he ap- preached the corner occupied by General Pickett's residence, he directed the guard to walt and to their astonishment ran two steps at a time up to the door and rapped The servants had fled. The ''baby- bride had never seen President Lincoln, but she had read his letters to her husband and from him had learned to hold in the highest esteem the great northern President. With her baby In her arms she opened the door and looked up at the tall, gaunt man with the sad face and uncouth ways.
 Without q word of explanation he asked:
 "Is George Pickett about?"
 To hear her husbands name bereft of It's title by a Yankee, at that moment was almost the limit especially as many rumor had floated about Richmond concerning the fate which awaited the leaders of the Confederacy.
 With all the proud dignity she could command the baby-bride replied;
 General Pickett Is not at home"
 The stranger seemed disappointed and as he turned to go, remarked
 T am Abraham Lincoln, an old friend of Georges"
 Not President Lincolnr' Mrs. Pickett exclaimed The tall man shook his head repeating:
 NO. Just Abraham Lincoln, George Picketts old friend.' Following the instant promptings of the heart which still governs her, the baby bride" trust her baby boy into the arms of the gaunt Yankee, as her best effort to express her veneraton and confidence, saying
 T am George Plckett's wife and this Is George Picketts baby"

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
Ancient Egyptians Had Photographs
 and Sang Annie Laurie"

Lesueur CMinn) Cor. St. Louis Republic.
 Probably the most astounding scientific discovery of the age Is that made last week by Prof. Gadborus Hammerdank, of Spellacy, which is to the effect that the photograph was used by the ancient Egyptians.
 | It has long been known that the Egyp- tians made 1t a practice to inscribe their hieroglyphics on the outside of copper cylinders about four inches in diameter, and the hieroglyphics on the outside of these tubes have been deciphered as have nearly all of the writings of this ancient people.
 As stated in most of the scientific books on the subject, the metal of which these cylinders are made is slightly rough on the inside of the tube, but no one ex- cept Prof. Hammerdank ever thought, so 1t seems, of ascribing any particular mo- tive to the making of the inside of the tube rough
 He has been great Psychologist for many years, and has among his collec- ! ton several of these tubes, and one day last week 1t occurred to him to investi- gate the inside construction to see If it could possibly have any meaning or pur- pose.
 He placed inside of the tubes a round block of wood with a diameter some- thing less than the inside, and fixing 1t firmly In the exact center. he poured

ory that MT. Loeb had mislaid important letters When the French bishops talked in conference of agreeing to separation of church and state. Cardinal Merry del Val plunged republic into uproar by conveying wrong impressions to the Pope. It has been affirmed In Life that MT. Loeb feels seasick whenever the Presi- dent is at sea, and it Is maintained by the Figaro that if dog bit the Pope the pontifical secretary of state would hur- " to the Pasteur Institute. Now, 1t Is rumored MT. Loeb Is soon to retire from his responsible position, and a successor to Cardinal Merry del Val may soon be in office
