come White House visitor. On leav.
ing the executive Offices he was asked
an to the truth of the story that he
and John d. Rockefeller are not on

II have the highest respect for Mr..
Rockefeller and think he Is much
abused man. l intend to play golf
with him in short time, and I'll beat
him too," said Mr.. Carnegie.
i"Of course" he went on with an
amused expression, II don't know how
things will come out II we play the
game on Mr.. Rockefeller's own
grounds. II we do shall have to
keep sharp eye on him, as he knows
how to play the game and goes into

It Is said that Chirbeuno was jeal-
GUS of Bolot, imagining that he was
paying too much attention to Mrs.
Chirbouno If it had not been for
Mrs. Chirbouno Bolot would have been
killed instead of her husband
Mrs. Chirbouno was awakened to
hear her husband moving about in the
hall muttering that he would kill
somebody. She got up quietly and
peered through the door OF her room
and from there she could see her hus-
band stealthily entering Bolot's room
Chirbouno had a Ratchet in his hand
Quietly as possible the woman ran
up behind her husband and caught
hold Of the arm that held the Ratchet,
Chirbouno uttered an exclamation OF
anger and tried to throw her off. The
room was lighted dimly by a light
turned low. -... -.
Bolot awakened and, taking in the
situation, reached for a revolver that
lay on the dresser. Observing that
Bolot was awake and prepared to de-
fend himself the woman let go of her
husband and ran.
Chirbouno then approached Bolot
threateningly, not fearing the revol
YER apparently, and Bolot~ shot him
1nflicting wound from which he died
quickly.

Judge Ives Knows Russell.

Cass Lake Times: We are pleased
to note that our old-time friend, Pat
Russell, is a candidate for mayor
of Bemidji. We have known Pat
since he wore short breeches, know
the old roots were he used to stub
his toes when he went barefooted
after the cows, and we never knew
him to whimper or complain. Pat
is the owner of two prominent
attributes, viz: Unselfshness and
a love of the cause of right, and
the latter predominates 50 clearly
that even his enemies can see it..
Pat has ability, push, and is as
aggressive as men need be to run a
frontier town, and will make Be-
midi the best mayor it has ever
dallied with. If we had a vote in
our sister town Pat would surely
get it, for we like aggressive, prompt
men.

Secretary Taft Puts in Busy Day at
Kansas City.


Kansas City, Feb. 11.-Secretary of
War Taft, who is in this city, was the
principal figure in a number of con-
ferences, receptions and other forms
of entertainment. Secretary Taft ar
rived by way of st. Louis, accom-
panied by Walter S. Dickey, chairman
of the Missouri Republican central
committee, and half a hundred other
prominent Republicans from St. Louis,
Kansas City and other Missouri cities
Breakfast was served at the Midland
hotel, after which there were confer
ences with Republican committeeman
from several nearby states who had
come here to talk over with the Sec
rotary party conditions in their dis
tricts.
Victor Rosewater, editor of the
Omaha Bee, and William Hayward,

trail committee, were among the first

ATTACKS VALIDITY OF LAW
Standard OiI's Reply to Minnesota
Custer Suit.


st. Paul, Feb. 1.-THE Standard Oil
company has filed a demurrer to the
suit brought against it by Attorney
General Young for the forfeiture of
its Minnesota charter.>
Its right to do business in the state
Is attacked because of an alleged VIC
lation of the anti-discrimination law
passed by the last legislature.
The company claims the law is I'M
constitutional because it is in viola
tion of both the federal and state con-
situations. 1t proposes to take prop
erty without due process of law, the
company says.
Further, it holds that the act speci-
fed is class and special legislation
and therefore in conflict with the
state constitution. The complaint, it
also says, does not constitute facts.
The suit against the Standard Oil
company was commenced early in De-
cember in the Ramsey county district
court. In an answer made the COM
pany then asked that the state be
compelled to make its complaint more
specific. This it withdrew and filed
the demurrers given above.

MILITIA OvERP0WERED.
Mississippi Negro Secured by Mob
and Lynched.

Brookhaven, Miss, Feb. 11.-Eli
Pigot, negro, who assaulted Miss
Wells in this county few weeks ago,
was taken from the custody of Jack
son military company and a posse of
deputies and hanged. The military
company was overpowered by mob
of more than 1000 citizens. A num-
Der of shots were fired and two mem
hers of the mob were wounded.
Pigot reached Brookhaven from
Jackson to be placed on trial in Gus
tody of Sheriff Frank Greer and I'M
der the armed escort of the Capital
light guards, ordered into service by
Governor Noel to protect the negro
during the trial.
When the soldiers and negro alight-
ed from the train the mob surged
around them and fierce hand to
hand fight ensued. The soldiers
dubbed the members of the mob with
their guns.
The fight lasted five minutes and
the military started with the prisoner
to the courthouse when the mob, rein
forced and reorganized, made another
attack, secured the prisoner, dragged
him to a telephone pole and hanged
him.
Judge Wilkinson, who was to have
presided at the Negroes trial, wit
messed the lynching, but was power
less to prevent the mob from carrying
out its purpose.
Captain A. L. Sairley commanded
the Jackson company, which had in
its ranks about thirty men. He re-
ported the affair to the governor

FIGHT TO SEE THEIR DEAD
Portuguese Anxious for Final View of
King and Crown Prince.

Lisbon, Feb. 11.-There was almost
a riot on the part of the populace to
get into the cathedral where the bod
les of King Carlos and Grown Prince
Lu1z are lying in state. The crowd
waiting outside for chance to get
last sight Of the murdered king and
his son was so great that the police
were unable to close the cathedral
doors at the hour appointed for the
beginning of the ceremonies of the
final interment. It is estimated that
no less than 10000 people were striv-
ing at one time to make their way
into the cathedral The police and
the gendarmes made futile efforts to
drive this mass back from the por-
tails. 1t was quite impossible to even
hold the people in check. The surg
ing multitude thrust the police to one
side and forced in side door to the
cathedral, through which it poured
into the main edifice. s.- j..
Cavalry finally was summoned to
dispense the crowd and found it nee
essary to charge before the people
WOULD move. There were no casual

recognized as being so good a
public official that it is deemed
unwise to oppose his reelection and
this is especially true in the matter of
electing officers in small city or
village, where personalities are
allowed to form the principal
weapon of offense or defense in a
campaign.
Mr.. Smart has represented his
ward with credit to himself and the
city, and has served his constitu-
ents we'll.
His unanimous reelection is a
fitting tribute to his fitness for the
position of alderman.

BURNS FINISHED PALMER
IN JUST -FOUR ROUNDS
American Champion Found an Easy
Mark in the Championship of
Old England.

London, Feb. 11.-Tommy Burns,
the American heavyweight pugilist,
last night knocked out Jack Palmer,
of New Castle, the English champion,
in the fourth round of what was
scheduled to be a 2O.round contest
for the heavyweight championship.
Some 1000 persons saw the fight.
1t was oue-sided affair from the
sound of the first gong until the
middle of the fourth round, when
Palmer, on his knees, was finally
counted out.
The referee might have given his
decision in the first minute of the
contest as Palmer was a beaten man
from the moment he entered the
ring. Burns climbed under the ropes
smiling and showing his customary
confidence, while Palmer displayed
great nervousness.
Without any preliminary sparring,
Burns went after him and the first
round had hardly begun before the
Englishman was on his knees. He
took the count twice and during the
rest of the round was busily engaged
in covering himself. This was re-
peated in each of the other rounds,
Palmer being hopelessly outclassed
and apparently without ability either
to deliver a telling blow or to defend
himself.

CORRECTS HIS TESTIMONY
Witness in Capitol Graft Case Gets
Titles Mixed.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE first
act of Stanford B. Lewis of Philadel-
phia, assistant to Joseph M. Huston,
architect of the new state capitol,
when he took the witness stand at the
trial of ]. Fl. Sanderson, a contractor;
former Auditor General Snyder, for
mer State Treasurer Mathues and
James M. Shumaker, superintendent
of public buildings and grounds,
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the state, was to correct his testimony
when he implicated former Attorney
General Hampton L. Carson in an al
legged "whitewash" of those who are
accused of fraud. Lewis in his cor
rection said that he had confused the
titles of state officials and where he
said attorney general" he meant "au-
ditor general"
Mr.. Carson, who was at the time at
torney general, took no part in the
conference where the alleged "white-
wash" of state officials was discussed,
according to Lewis.

DECLARES 1T A MYTH,
Noted Rabbi Discusses Crucifixion Of
Christ by the Jews.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE story of the
cruci1ixion of Jesus by the Jews was
declared to be slanderous myth by
DR.. Emil G. Hirsch in his sermon at
Sinai temple. He regarded the &C.
count of the crucifixion as largely
fanciful and declared intolerant Chris.
t1ans had distorted it to make appear
that the Jews executed the founder
Of the Christian church.
THE account of the crucifxion is
not possible of belief by those who
have studied the customs of the age
In which that great leader lived" said
DR.. Hirsch. ''The Jewish law did not
provide such a punishment and the
Jews could not have enforced it if it
had. The details of the trial are not
In accordance with practice. Finally
the varying accounts of the supposed
event in the different gospels are so
contradictory that no Judge would ad-
nit them in evidence in any court"

the question being an assurance of
sufficient funds. The executive CON-

stood they will be allowed to do so
if they think it advisable.
