The GOVERNORS FRIENDS
MAY DECIDE IT FOR HIM
Minneapolis Paper Says They May
Bring Executive Out as a Presi-
dental Candidate.

Minneapolis Tribune: A meeting
of men close to Gov. John A. John.
son has been held to consider the
advisability of the governors com
ing out" in the open as candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
The campaign in the interest OF
the governor, quietly conducted, has
met with most hattering response.
It is the conviction of the governors
friends that Gov. John A. Johnson
stands good chance to secure the
plum.
The conservative and financial
interests in the party are opposed
to the nomination of w. ]. Bryan
and the Johnson boomers believe
that this opposition has been cult
vated to a degree which place Gov.
Johnson at least in second, if not
in first place in the race.
The question now at stake is
whether it would be advisable and
good national policy for the COVER
nor to openly announce himself as
presidential candidate. The dan
ger is that in so doing an open con
fict would at once be precipltated
between the many followers of
William ]. Bryan and those who are
opposed to his nomination.
AS yet no decision in the
matter has been reached.

WILL TEST SUNDAY LAW.
Vaudeville Theaters in New York City
Propose to Fight.

Vaudeville Theaters in New York City
Propose to Fight.
New York, Dec. 14.-If the board of
aldermen does not on Tuesday next
amend the law prohibiting all kinds
Of Sunday amusements it is probable
that other steps will be taken to gain
relief for the amusement owners. The
recent decision of Justice O'Gorman,
which was responsible for the closing
of all places of amusement on Sun
day, was made in a civil case and is
not appealable. It is possible now
that test case will be made by open
ing one vaudeville theater and allow
ing the manager to be arrested. In
such a case the question could be car
ried to the court of appeals and the
law finally passed upon. The keepers
of penny arcades have formed an as
sociation. Efforts will be made to
prevent the police from closing their
places of business by means of in
functions. Nine of these places have
already obtained injunctions against
the police.

old, murdered his wife and then COM
mitted suicide at their home here.
Several hours previously he had tried
to kill himself, his wife and their
daughter by turning on the gas. His
daughter detected this and turned the
gas off, She did not go to sleep again,
fearing that her father would again
turn on the gas.
He attacked his wife with razor
in the presence of the daughter, Mrs.
Ernest Boyd, who ran out on the street
for help and returned with several
men only to find both her parents
dead on the dining room floor, their
throats cut.
The insanity which resulted in the
tragedy came after day of worry
over Colby's financial affairs.
Mrs. Colby and her daughter re-
moved to Minneapolis from Lake City
early in August and Colby came short
ly after. They purchased a rooming
house on Hennepin avenue, but the
venture was a failure and In October
they moved to 1906 Harmon place.

The ODD FELLOW LODGE
HELD A fine MEETING
Ten Candidates Initiated Last Night.
Grand Master Will Be Here
Next Friday.

The meeting of the local Odd Eel
lows lodge which was held last even,
ing was of more than ordinary inter.
est to many members of the lodge.
A class of ten candidates were
given the initiatory degree, and the
beautiful ceremony of the order is
said to have been performed in more
than an ordinary manner, and was
very impressive.
AT the conclusion of the regular
session of the lodge, those present
were surprised by the members OF
the Rebekah lodge, who had quietly
gained admission to the kitchen OF
the lodge room and prepared a fine
supper, which the "old boys" were
invited to partake of to the fullest
extent.
The supper proved to be a most
welcome and wholesome affair, and
was thoroughly enjoyed, after which
some time was spent in social inter
course.
On next Friday evening the grand
master of the state grand lodge of
Odd Fellows, Mr.. Shearer of Man
kato, will make an official visit to
the Bemidji lodge, and the officers
request that every member of the
lodge be present at that meeting.

ing. They failed to return home and
a searching party was sent out. The
body of one was discovered in about
thirty feet of water and an hour later
the other body was found about fif-
teen feet from that of the first.
From the positions of the bodies
and the fact that the mitten of the
younger was found on the ice it is
thought the older plunged into the
icy waters through an airhole and
that in endeavoring to help his
brother the younger was himself
dragged to his death.

MISS BRIGHT'S FUNERAL
WAS LARGELY ATTENDED
0bsequies Held at Walker Appropriate
Mark Of Respect to Popular
Young Woman.

Walker, Dec. 14.-(Special to
Pioneer. ALL that was mortal OF
Miss Lola Bright was laid to rest in
the cemetery here yesterday after
noon, and the funeral services at.
tending the burial of the body were
the saddest and most impressive eve
held here.
The services were held in the
Methodist church at 2:3O O'Clock in
the afternoon, Rev. J. T. B. Smith
of Akeley presiding.
There was a profusion of beauti,
full flowers, which decorated the
bier, and which were given by
friends of the family and acquaint.
ances of the deceased.
The choir sang several beautiful
selections, and Rodney Hodge CT
Akeley sang Face to Face" very
feelingly.
Rev. Smith delivered an eloquent
sermon, touching feelingly on the
past life of the deceased, which gave
promise of a glorious womanhood,
terminated by the sad accident,
which cut short so useful a life.
The church was crowded to its
utmost capacity with the friends of
the deceased, and so impressive
were the services that there was
not a dry eye in the house at the
conclusion.
The poignant grief of Mrs. Bright
was heartrending in the extreme.
Her sobs and lamentations were
audible during the entire service
and it was almost impossible to
calm her.
At the conclusion of the services
the body was buried in the Walker
cemetery.
The body of Walter Johnson, who
met death at the same time Miss
Bright was drowned, was shipped to
the home of the dead boy at Rob-
binsdale, MINI.
The dcplorable death of Miss
Bright and Walter Johnson has cast
a gloom over Walker, which will not
soon be dispelled.

AN EYE FOR BUSINESS.

The Greenville News has an eye for
business when 1t asks that the parlor
car on the Southern be sent to Green
vile instead Of to Walhalla. That's
right; keep it up, so that it will be
run to Greenville and obtain better
support.-Greenwood Journal.
Just SO, but why not look after the
interests OF Greenville, and at the
same time let Walhalla's alone? 1t
seems to us that Greenville and Wal
halla might each have the Pullman
service and neither one nor the other
be one whit worse of. Get the Pull
man service by all means for Green
Vile If you can, but let Walhalla' s
alone. 1t does us some good, but is
certainly In no way detrimental to
Greenville.
