 VERY NEAT TRICK
0kIahoma's Governor Captures HearSt'S Agent
IMPORTANT PAPERS FOUND
Hearst's Special Agent Was Gather ing Data for the $6o0,00o Libel Suit When Governor Haskell's
 Men Arrest Him.
............s....s.s...

Guthrie, Okla, January 1S.-On a war charging conspiracy to defame the gov ernor, Scott RaeReynolds, attorney and special agent for William R. Hearst, was arrested tonight Armed with a searcn warrant, also sworn to by Governor Has kell, MacReynClds' rooms at the lone hotel were searched by Sheriff Mahoney and OrvIlls T. Smith. private attorney for the governor, and a large amount of data and papers seized pertaining to the s6OO, ,OC0 libel suit instituted by Haskell against MT. Hearst.
 MacRcynolds immediately demanded of the county court through his counsel, Judge John H. Burford, the whereabouts of his papers. They were found in the private office of the governor and taken over by Sheriff Mahoney on the courts or ders.
 MacReynods had collected a vast amount of data, all secured in confidence In a statement made tonight he declared Governor Haskell's purpose in securing his arrest and the seizure of his papers was to obtain possession of this informa- tion to ascertain it's importance and to learn from whom he had obtained it.
 Governor Haskell, in explanation of MacReynolds arrest, says:
 Yes, sir, I have sworn out a war rant today for the arrest of MT. S. Mac Reynolds, said to be from Brooklyn, N. T., representing MT. Hearst.
 MT. MacReynods has been in the state almost constantly for nearly three months, at times assisted by one or two other men from the east and by a cer- tain person from Ohio, and three or four people of our own state.
 q paid no attention to them until re- gently, when I learned that they were disappointed at not finding anything truth full to use against me, whereupon they became apparently desperate and began offering large sums of money to persons 10 aid In manufacturing false statements. In several instances I am reliably ad- vised they have used the expression, We have the money and are willing to give 1t to you If you will help us.'
 Tt is not Hearst alone, but there are other interested parties in the conspiracy, and with the main purpose of injuring me they combined their efforts.
 "I have nothing further to add except that the arrest of MT. MacReynolds is only the beginning, and other conspirators will have the same opportunity to square themselves with jury of honest peo- ple."

PROHIBITION IS
 ARGUED IN TEXAS

Austin, Tex, January 1S.-There were such exciting times in the house of the Texas legislature this afternoon dur ing the debate over the prohibition sub mission question that the speaker found 1t necessary to send the sergeant-at- arms into the galleries to quiet those who interrupted the members in their debate. The principal interruption was attendant upon the speech made by Representative Fitshugh of Tarrant county, who was speaking in opposi- ton to the submission amendment.
 After an entire afternoon of debate those who oppose the measure tried late this afternoon to force vote but failed. They developed vote of A antis and 81 pros on this vote. It will require S9 votes to pass the measure in the house.
 The fight will be renewed tomorrow in all Likelihood, though it is not be- lieved that the vote will occur for sev- eral days.

Washer brothers is their similarity in

dress alike and make one of the most
comical sights imaginable as they

seen that about all they lack is the
necessary underpinnings. Like all

The MALARIA MINSTRELS
WILL Be HERE AUG. 81.
One OF Very Best CoI0red Troupes in
C0untry.-Sp'endid Band
and Orchestra.

The Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Gazette
says of Frank Mahara's colored
minstrels, which will appear in Be-
midi Tuesday evening, August 81,
at the City Opera House:
Frank Mahara's Minstrels are
proving to be great drawing card
at The Alamo Park this week and
the performance is worthy the con-
sideration of every one.
The singing and dancing is ex-
ceptionally good and Harry Gilliam's
clever comedy work is bringing forth
continual screams at every perform
ance. His impersonation of S. H.
Dudley and also Ernest Hogan is so
near perfect that some are still guess
ing as to who the performer really is.
Mr.. Clarke, the stage director, is
pulling off some very comical stunts
and is being rewarded with continu-
Gus applause at every turn.
The whole company is far above
the average of any minstrel organi-
zation and is composed of some
excellent singers. A good many new
songs are being introduced, one of
which is basso solo by the COM
poser, Harry Stone.
The burlesque in the second act
is novel and is causing considerable
comment which gives it credit.
The Alamo Park theater ought to
play to capacity business the rest of
this week if the weather permits, as
the visitors will certainly see per-
formance in every way equal to a
S1.50 show.
Mahara carries his own band
and orchestra and the band which
has been giving daily street parades
and concerts down town has made a
big hit.,,

Much interest is being shown in
the entertainment to be given at
the City Opera House this evening,
under the auspices of, and for the
benefit of, the Bemidji band, and
indications point to a good-sized
audience being present.
It is the purpose of the band to
apply the net proceeds of the en-
tertainment on the purchase price of
new uniforms; and as the object is a
worthy one, every citizen of Bemidji
should purchase ticket-and, what
is more, the performance is going to
be a meritorious one.
The band will play several Sc
lections on the street prior to the en-
tertainment, beginning at 7:3O. The
orchestra will furnish the music
during the performance.
The curtain will raise at $50.
The full membership of the band
and orchestra will participate in the
entertainment, which will be under
the personal direction of Charles T.
Castleman, assisted by Miss Mae
Montgomery, while Professor Harry
Masten will direct the numbers to
be given by the band and orchestra.
The first part of the entertain
ment will be minstrel part, and it
is promised that there will be some
real talent displayed by local parties
in this part of the show.
After the minstrel first part, Mr..
Castleman and Miss Montgomery
will give vaudeville stunts and an
after-piece of more than ordinary
merit.

BLINDNESS
State Commission Preparing to Ask
Authority From the Legis-
Iature.
MANY CASES PREVENTABLE
Better Facilities for Care and Educa-
ton of the Afflicted is
Also Sought.

With the astounding demonstration
that from 25 to 40 per cent of the
blindness in Illinois could have been
prevented by the very simplest and
safest remedies, if they had been APP
piled at the birth of children, the Hi
nois commission to inquire into the
condition of the Bind is preparing to
go before the legislature with a re-
quest for the proper authority and le-
gal means to check this curse and
save the eyes of the new born.
At the same time the commission
will ask the assembly for new laws
providing more adequate protection,
education and care for those blind who
are already wards upon the bounty OF
the state.
Usually Caused mt Birth.
Among the preventable diseases
which cause blindness, DR.. Wilder, who
has written the report, points to the
most common, caused by an afflictiou
of the eyes at the time of the babes
birth.
II SotiiiolCu lhol llOih ~ w 81
per cent of all blindness is caused by
this one disease. Filth is the basis o.
| it, and in some statistics, and in man!
places the percentage runs as high a:
AZ. The Jacksonville institution show:
25 per cent due to this cause. Yet tht
disease, says DR.. Wilder, is preventa
BILE as is demonstrated in laying il
hospitals where suitable preventive
measures are practiced.
| He cites one great German hospita
where 10 per cent of the children borl
developed this disease. The prevent
i've treatment of instilling into the ey,
of the new born drop of silver solu
ton resulted in totally eradicating tn
disease at once.

GOOD, BUT STILL
COULD BE IMPROVED
Condition of City-DaVenport
Worst on the Map.

Professor R. L. xiv, who has been
investigating the moral conditions in
the three cities for some time, today
said of his observations in Rock Is
land: This city has some room for
improvement, but by comparison with
Davenport, Rock Island is a very clean
city. Davenport is positively the
worst place on the map in proportion
to its population. l never have seen
such red light district in so small a
city as there is in Davenport 1t is
worse even than some of the worst
parts of Chicago" Professor xiv is
the editor of the Criterion, published
at Kansas City.

The democrats Of the city last even
ing nominated q township ticket. as
appears above, at q meeting at. the
Turner hall, held on the call of Chair
man Bert Corken. The ticket as NOM
mated is practically the same as Sc
lected by the city committee last week
when it was proposed to submit these
nominations at the primary. The fact
that the primary law does not provide
for township primaries made it neces-
sary to hold voluntary primary sep
arate from the city primary, or else
take some other method of making
nominations. AS there was no con-
test for any of the places. the commit
tee decided to nominate at a mass
meeting.
Interest IN Shown.
There was a good attendance at the
meeting. and much interest is being
manifested in the spring campaign
All of the meetings held recently have
been well attended, and the members
of the democratic party in all of the
different wards are taking an active
part in the preparations for the cam
paign.
Chairman Bert Corken presided al
the meeting, and Ralph w. Lamont
secretary, read the call.
