New York, July 24.-With another
witness found who alleges she was
approached with proposal to give
false evidence against Frank J. Gould,
the young millionaire who is being
sued for divorce by Mrs. Helen Kelly
Gould, evidence of an amazing plot
swiftly accumulates. The district at
torney's Office promises yet more
startling revelations than those al
ready made public. The new witness
is Miss Blanche Hale, a hair dresser,
who lives at the Hotel Lincoln and
who has number of fashionable
patrons. Miss Hale has been exam
1ned by a representative of the dis
trict attorneys Office and is said to
have disclosed details of a proposition
very similar to that to which Miss
Mabel McCauslan, the young milliner's
apprentice. made affidavit. The lat
ter's statement resulted in the arrest
of Mrs. Ben Teal, Miss Julia Fleming
and Detective Henry s. Mousley, who
were charged with subornation of per-

evidence against Frank J. Gould which
would enable Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould

EXCURSION OF FARMERs
TO EXPERIMENTAL FARM.
Will Be Held Tomorrow superintend-
ent Mcclure Has Invited Crowd
to Note Experiments.

+ e r
The excursion of farmers and
others living in eastern Polk county,
and also in Clearwater and Beltrami
counties, to the Northeast Expert
mental Farm at Grand Rapids,
Saturday promises to be an event Of
more than ordinary Importance to
the farming interest Of these sec
tons.
Some three weeks ago, A. ].
Mcclure, superintendent of the
Northeast Farm, decided to arrange
that the farmers of these counties
mentioned could pay visit to the
farm, he having been the recipient
OF many letters from farmers express
ing desire to visit the farm and
look over the work being done there
by Superintendent McG CURE.
Mr.. Mcclure has arranged it SO
that special cars will be. attached to
the regular east-bound passenger
train on the Great Northern rail
way from Crookston to Grand
Rapids Saturday forenoon, one
being put on at Crookston, another
at Bagley,and still another at Bemidji.
providing the car at the latter place
is desired in order to provide accom-.
modations for the crowd. The
train will leave Crookston in the
morning and pass through Bemid il,
bound for Grand Rapids, at 1905.

dent Mcclure to give to the farmers
who visit the farm pratical demon

plished there by Observation-Disclosures of
farming, stock-raising and dairying, all
of which will undoubtedly be of

CAN SELL PARIS GREEN
IN ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
State Board Pharmacy Explains Law
as Il Relates to Others than
Druggists.

A controversy having arisen over
some parts of northern MINES ota
relative to the law governing the
sale Of Paris green in bulk or origi-
nal packages by merchants other
than druggists, the Minnesota State
Board of Pharmacy has issued a
circular relative to the matter, in
order that retailers may know just
where they stand.
Bemidji merchants were involved
in the controversy as to whether
others than druggists could sell
Paris green, and the circular sets
at rest all argument, the law per-
hitting merchants to sell Paris
green, if sold in original packages,
and not in bulk.
The circular issued by the board
is as follows:
State of Minnesota,
BOARD OF PHARMACY,
Minneapolis.
Notice to Dealers in Paris Green.
The law regulating the practice
of Pharmacy and the sale of
Poisons in this state, permits gen
eral dealers to handle Paris Green,
if kept in stock in sealed packages,
and so sold, distinctly labeled
PARIS GREEN, POISON but
does not permit them to break
packages and sell in bulk. The
penalty for this and other violations
of the pharmacy law is fifty dollars
for each offense. ...--.-.e .-~. =.

the Position.

the Position.
Lincoln, Neb., July 24-The polit-
1cal situation in the South was the
subject of prolonged discussion be-
tween William ]. Bryan and Josephus
Daniels, national committeeman from
North Carolina. In view Of the claims
Of the Republicans, as reflected from
Hot Springs, Va, that they were
counting on the states of North Caro-
lima, Georgia and Virginia in the COM
Ing election, considerable Importance
was attached to the visit. The conclu-
sion was reached, however, that those
three states were impregnable against
Republican assault.
The craftsmanship of the national
committee also was talked over, Mr..
Daniels being member of the sub
committee which will select the man
who is to conduct the campaign. For
mer Governor William L. Douglas of
Massachusetts continues to be looked
upon as the new chairman of the COM
mittee, but the selection is being
guarded with such secrecy as to make
1t impossible to get confirmation of
the report that he will be chosen.

The RED LAKE RAILROAD
WON'T OBEY The Law.
The M, R. |. & M. Proposes to
Charge Passengers Three Cents
per Mile Beginning Aug. l.

st. Paul, July 24.-The Minnea-
polls, Red Lake & Manitoba Rail
road company has served notice on
the state railroad and warehouse
commission that beginning Aug. l
it would charge passenger fare of
3 cents a mile, thus ignoring the
2-cent fare law.
This is considered forerunner
of similar action on the part of all
the smaller roads of the state.
The letter of the railroad company
notifying the state commission con-
tanned no explanation of the prospec-
tive advance in passenger rates..
The road runs from BemidU,
MIMI, to Red Lake and is con-
trolled by C. A. Smith, a Mime
apolis lumberman.
The road some time ago repre-
sented to the state commission that
it could not proftably carry freight
at the rates established by the legis-
lature, but added that it would
comply with the 2-cent passenger
rate. Accordingly the commission
exempted it from reducing freight
rates.
The larger roads in the state are
stopped from taking action. similar
to that of the Minneapolis, Red
Lake & Manitoba as they have
brought the 2-cent rate into litiga-
cation.

Foraker Applauds Negroes

Senator Foraker wrote a letter
in which lie applauded colOred
Republican clubs for staying away
from the Republican opening at
Youngstown. He not only praised
the act, but thanked colored Re-
publicans for the implied compli
ment to himself.
This letter was written to M. j.
Thompson, president of the color
ed Republican club of Sandusky.
la it Senator Foraker said:
81 have learned from the news
papers and also from copy of
your letter to Mr.. Fleming, sent
me by Major Wilcox, OF the action
taken by your cub in declining to
accept an invitation to attend the
Republican meeting to be held at
Youngstown, Sept. 5, and write
to thank you and assure you of
my proper appreciation for the
friend .hip and good will toward
my self expressed by you in your
action and in your letter. Kindly
thank for me all the members of
your club"
Thomas w, Fleming, of Cleve-
land, also wrote to the club, but
in different vein. His letter was
abusive. 1t was written ON the
head IF the Republican state exc
cutive committee and was doubt
less dictated by the comm ittee.
In that letter Fleming said the
colored people of Sandusky were
sulke.s and that in supporting
Senator Foraker they were oppos-
ing the Republican party, a state
m Mt which, being translated,
means that any body who is for
Foraker is an enemy of the Re
publican party.
There is good deal of resent
ment among the colored people
over the Fleming letter.
