the scenes in camp life during the
civil war In fact, all of these arti-
cles except the rifles and ten are
relics of the Civil war and are for
sale at prices astonishing low, and
will be quickly bought up to fit out
dens and for decorative purposes,
where not wanted for other purposes
The Springfield rifles with bayonets
are for sale for $l.95 each, although
they cost the government far more to
manufacture. They have been discard
ed for different models and are no
longer needed by the government,
which has disposed of them. The
Springfield carbines sell for 1895 EACH
and the cavalry and battery sabres for
$lS5 each. The rifles can be used
shot cartridges, which cost forty cents
each for boxes containing twenty shells
The frying pans, mess pan, knives
and forks and haversack bring back
memories of the past to the veterans
The carbines cost the government
SIS eac hto manufacture, and would
be sold at retail at not less than $25
each. Every carbine and rifle is guar
anteed to be in perfect working order
and in first class condition. They are
breech loading, with polished blued
steel barrels, the working parts free

from rust. They are practically as
good as new, and have adjustable long
range sights and are equipped with
cleaning rods.
The Springfield carbine is one of
the most accurate and hardest shoot
ing guns ever made. The length from
butt to mnzzle is forty one inches. 1t
weighs a fraction over seven pounds
and is just the thing for big game.

Bovey, May 26.-As a result of raid

men swore out warrants, for the ar
rest of Rev. Mr.. Hill, August john

AS each saloonkeeper swore out
warrants for all of the trio, they were
arrested on two counts each. They

The saloonkeepers allege that Rev.
Mr. Hill and Messrs. johnson and
Lundquist broke into their buildingsl
without legal authority, That, although
the men were armed with search war
having been secured on Sunday
The liquor vendors claim that their
saloons were locked and closed when
the minister and his assistants broke
into them and left them open during
the remainder of the night Knob
lock claims that there was about $500
missing from his saloon. 5ohn Barrett,
another saloonkeeper, alleges that there
was 1858 missing from his till.
One of the raiders claims that wnen
the raiding party appeared at Speck's
saloon, the bartender was engaged in
cleaning the saloon and that he pulled
his revolver on the raiding party and
compelled them to leave the building.
Rev. Mr.. Hill said that the action
of the saloonkeepers was simply a
bluff and he had no fear of the out
come of the raid and subsequent de-
velopments. The pastor declared that
it has been common for many of the
saloons of Bovey to be open every Sum

was just preparing to close up.
The pastor claimed that in the
meantime someone warned the other
saloonkeepers that the raiding party
was coming and the other saloons
were quickly closed and darkened, so
that on their arrival at two of the
saloons they found the doors closed.
The pastor and the constable and his
deputy had search warrants as their
authority to make the raids and are
confident that they acted within the
bounds of the law. u

The cigaret days are going, and
already the busy manufacturer and
his agent are making the rounds of
Minnesota retail stores ready to sup
ply the new wares, which are to take
the place of the thin paper and its
load of pulverized dope.
The new samples are very attractive

WANT A HIGH DUTY
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS SPEAK
ON SUGAR SCHEDULE.
Espouses Protective Theory; McEnery
of Louisiana Also Openly Advises
Democratic Friends to Follow His
Example; Senator Beverage Dis
cusses His Contention That Presi-
dent Advocated Downward Policy.

Washington, May 26.-The senate
the sugar schedule but did not APP
proach vote upon it. Instead, the
time allotted to this schedule was en-
tirely given over to speech-making
and strange to say the two speeches
on the subject, while made by Demo
Gratis, were in strong advocacy OF
high tariff on sugar of all grades.
The speeches were by Senators Fos-
ter and McEnery of Louisiana. Mr..
Foster laughingly deprecated the ap'
plication of the word protection" to
his attitude, but Mr.. McEnery boldly
espoused the protective theory and
openly advised his Democratic friends
to follow his example. He declared
protection to be in the line of Demo
cratic policy. Mr.. McEnery was
cheered by and given attention by the
leading Republican senators, but his
remarks received scant attention from
his Democratic colleagues.
The lumber schedule was tempo
rarily put aside in order to permit
the committee on finance to make
changes in it. Early in the day Sena-
tor Beveridge addressed the senate at
some length in support of his con-
tention that President Taft had pre-
vious to and after his nomination been
a consistent advocate of downward
revision of the tariff. He followed the
maiden effort of his Democratic col
league, Mr.. Shively, who undertook
to prove that If the tariff bill now be-
fore the senate should become law
the rates over which the senate is
Nrangling would not constitute the
tariff that would go into effect, but
that under the maximum and mini
mum provision the country would find
itself operating under the maximum
rate, which is % per cent higher than
the minimum.

DOSE CARbOL|C ACID
WATERVILLE GIRL SOUGHT END;
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Had Been in st. Paul But Two Weeks:
One Story Is That Disappointment
in Love Caused Her to Take the
Poison; Another Report Has 1t
That Work Was Not to Her
Liking.

st. Paul, May 26.-Miss Lizzie De-
wald, twenty five years of age, was
found near death last night i'll her
room at 487 Como avenue from the
effects of drinking carbolic acid. She
was hurried to the city hospital in,
the Rondo patrol wagon and later it
was said that the young woman
would probably recover. 1t is sup
posed that she intended to end her
life.
Miss Dewald told the attending ply
stefan that she had considerable trou-
bic, the character of which she did
not disclose, although an unfortunate
love affair was limited at, it is said.
After giving this slight information,
indicating possible motive, she lapsed
into comatose state
Came From Waterville.
Miss Dewald came to St. Paul only
two weeks ago from Waterville, MIMI.
and she boarded with an older sister,
Josephine Dewald, who has been in the
city for some time. The younger girl
seemed to be in good spirits at supper,
but when her sister returned home
shortly before 10 o'clock last night,
Miss Dewald was found lying on her
bed in intense agony. A nearby ply
stefan was called and it was decided
that the woman's condition was cri-
teal. The Rondo police were called
and the young woman fastened to
the hospital.
Work Was Not to Her Liking.
The parents of both girls reside at
Waterville, but it was found necessary
for the daughters to come to st. Paul
to get employment. Miss Lizzie De.
valid was employed at the Grass Irvine
works, but she had often stated That
the work was distasteful to her and
that she would like to return to her
home. Her older sister tried with
little success to reconcile her to the
new condition of things.
Without further warning the de-
spondent woman is supposed to have
taken the poison with the intent of
dying.
1t is said that she drank nearly
two ounces of the drug and that only
the early disck4ary Of her condition
and the prompt arrival of medical aid,
saved her from immediate death.

Greenwich, Conn, May 26.-Wor-
Slippers of Bacchus in the village of

which is working in the interests of
temperance in a most novel fashion.

Greenwich were called by Justice of
the Peace George w. Brush to arrest
a negro who was making a disturbance
in the village street. Special Officer

Justice Brush brought the Greenwich
police to Coscob on a similar case
when they found a snow white negro
making great rumpus in the village

GrenaCa. Miss. who has been stopping
here for several Gays at the Hotel
Stewart, caused considerable excite
ment about O'Clock this morning
when he came down stairs and in
formed the clerk that he had been
robbed. The elderly man was very
much worked up. He could not re-
frain from telling his troubles and a
large crowd gathered in front of the
hotel listening to him.
Doak arose, and after partially
dressing himself, went 10 the lavatOry,
leaving his hat, coat, vest and other
belongings together with gold watch
and $40 in cash, in the room. When
he returned he got into the adjoining
room by mistake and found none of
his personal effects. The thought
never entered his mind that he was
mistaken about the location OF his
room. The clerk accompanied the el-
derly man to hts room and there
found everything as he had left them.
Doak appreciated the joke when he
discovered the mistake and laughed
heartily. y.-Oklahomian.
