Some hoodlums deliberately disfig-

around the Catholic church a day or
two ago, making initials and g~r6tesque
figures in the soft material. The po-
lice ought to make an example of some
of this kind of hoodlums and fine
their parents SO heavily that it would
be an object lesson for all time to
come. Similar dastardly tricks have
been performed in other places.

Forty Days.

st. Paul, April 9-Knute Ohnstead
Is dead here, having literally starved
himself to death in an attempt to fast
for forty days in order to demonstrate
his theory that the mind controls the
body and that mind is mightier than
matter. Ohnsteads fast lasted thirty
nine days.
Ohnstead had been steadily growing
weaker during the past week and an
other boarder at the same house noti-
fled the police, declaring that unless

himself to death. An officer was sent
to the house and he found Ohnstead
in an emaciated condition and very
weak He suggested to Ohnstead that
he be treated by physician, but Ohm
stead replied that he knew what he
was doing and that he desired moth
ing to eat or treatment of any kind.
The officers report was sent to the
city physician and when an assistant
went to the house several hours later
he found that Ohnstead had sue
cumbed
Ohnstead was about forty years of
age and had done no work since be-
ginning his self-imposed fast.

Chicago, April 9.-Governor John
A. Johnson of Minnesota who is on
his way to the battlefield of Shiloh,
Tenn, where a monument Is to be
dedicated to the Minnesota soldiers
who were killed in the battle, passed
through the city. He discussed the
presidential question freely, saying:
II am a candidate for the presi-
dency in the sense that if gain the
nomination shall accept it and make
every effort to be elected. | am not
making any personal campaign and do
not expect to seek instructed dele
gates. / consider the ambition to be
president one of the most laudable
aspirations which any man can enter
tain.
Amy insinuations or assertions that
my candidacy is being advanced by
James ]. Hill and his interests is alb
solutely false. l have fought him sew
eral times and have never received a
word of encouragement from him or
any similar source"
Governor Johnson said he did not
care to discuss William j. Bryan or
any differences in policy between him
self and Mr.. Bryan.
Il have the highest regard for Mr..
Bryan as a man." said Governor John
son, "and / admire his ability and his
honesty We are friends SO far as
know My position is just this: II
the members of the Democratic party
feel that | would stand more chance
of election than would Mr.. Bryan or
any other man will be glad to make
the campaign.
IF | am considered the most avail
able man there will be no lack of ap-
probation on my part of the honor
conferred on me. 1t all depends, In
my judgment, on the platform and a
vigorous campaign. AS I view it the
Democratic party has at least an even
chance to win this year."

ORDERS PROSECUTION. !.
President Upholds Complaints Of
Negroes Of the South.
MUST FURNISH BETTER CARS
Under the Law Railroads Are Sup
posed to Supply Equal Accommoda-
gers Paying First Class Fare.

Washington, April 9.-President
Roosevelt has made public his letter
of April to the attorney general di-
recting proceedings by injunction to
compel certain railroads of the South
to furnish equal accommodations to
white and negro passengers. The
text of the presidents letter is as
follows:
IL forward herewith the report of
the interstate commerce commission
containing its order of June 27, 1907,
and the report of the failure of the
railroad company to obey this order
under date of March 26, 1908, together
with a letter of the commission of
April 1, 1908. 1t appears that the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railway company has not complied
with the order of the commission to
furnish the same facilities to colored
passengers paying first class fare that
are furnished to white pas sengers pay
ing first class fare. From time to time
various complaints have been made
to me by reputable colored people to
the effect that the accommodations
furnished to colored persons on Ger.
tain railways
Are Filthy and Inadequate
compared to the same accommodations
furnished to white passengers paying
the same fare. The commission has
taken what is unQuestionably the
right ground-that where separate ac-
commodations are provided for white
and colored passengers the accommo-
dations for colored passengers shall
be as good as those furnished to white
passengers for the same money. In
other words, while there Is nothing In
the law which forbids separate accom-
modations these accommodations must
be equal. This principle of equality
of accommodations is set out explicit
ly in various state laws. For instance
the code of the state of Alabama pro-
vides that there shall be equal but
separate accommodations for the white
and colored races by providing two or
more assenger cars for each passen-
ger train, or by dividing the passenger
cars by partitions The action of the
commission has simply been to insist
that the accommodations be equal In
convenience and comfort, for the same
money, wherever the separation Is
made. In this particular case, where
the railway has neglected to comply
with the order of the commission, 1t
is important that compliance with this
order be Immediately obtained. sug-
gest that you proceed to enforce the
order by injunction proceedings un-
less in your Judgment some other
course Is preferable"

SOUTH DAKOTA FOR BRYAN
Delegates to Denver Instructed for
Ncbraskan.

Mitchell, S. D.. April 9.-The Demo
cratic state convention met here,
elected eight delegates to the national
convention and instructed them to
vote for William Jennings Bryan for
the presidential nomination.
A fight was precipitated over the
manner of choosing delegates. There
was a division of opinion as to wheth-
er the districts should elect them or
the convention as a whole On roll
call the duty was left with the dis
tricts.
Colonel w. A. Lynch of Huron was
elected permanent chairman and
Thomas Taubman secretary. S. A.
Ramey made the report on resolutions,
which were exhaustive and declared in
favor of the absolute abolition of the
tariff on all trust controlled articles,
favored a graduated income and in
heritance tax, favored law compell-
ing all foreign corporations to appear
and stand trial before state courts,
asked for the vigorous enforcement of
the criminal law against trusts and
magnates, urged tariff reform by the
reduction of import duties, favored the
ins struction of the delegates of the con-
vention to vote for the nomination of
William Jennings Bryan first last and
all the time and for nobody else. The
resolutions were adopted.
Henry Volkmar of Milbank started
another fight over the positive instruc.
tions for Bryan, urging that the con.
vention should permit the delegates
to have a second choice and naming
Governor Johnson of Minnesota. His
suggestion was voted down.

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debiltating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
