CONSERVATION AT ST. PAUL.
National Congress Coming to Mime

Washington, D. G. = The North
west has captured the national conser-
walton convention. Announcement is
made by the executive continue of
the National Conservation Association
through the secretary, Thomas R.
Shipp, that the national convention
will be held at st. Paul the first week
in September The decision of this
matter was reached through canvass
of the executive committee by tele-
graph and the decision was practical
ly unanimous in favor of st. Paul.
1t is the purpose of the secretary,
T. R. Shipp, to get in communication
with Governor Eberhart and the Off
Gals and associations in St. Paul and
Minneapolis who will have a part in
making a success of the national
conservation convention. The plans
thus far perfected include an invita-
ton to be extended to President Taft
to be present, and it is assured that
Theodore Roosevelt will make an adj
dress.
Board of trade, chambers of COM
merce and kindred associations will
send delegates and large gathering
of distinguished men will make this
by far the greatest asemblage in the
interests of conservation ever held in
the country.

4 YRS. FOR WHARTON.
AGE OF PINE CITY FORGER MUST
PAY PENALTY FOR HIS
CRIME.
GIVES UP ALL HIS PROPERTY
Which Will About Make Good His
Shortage, and the Court Sees Fit
to be Lenient With
Him.

Pine City. = A. o. Wharton, of
Bruno, the sixty-year-old prisoner
of the Pine County jail in this
place, has confessed that he forged
school warrants and sold them to
various banks in this and Chisago
county when he was treasurer of his
school district. The amount Of the
forged paper, it is thought, will total
$4,000.
Wharton has turned over all his
property at Bruno, including farm,
some buildings in the town and some
personal property, for the satisfaction
Of claims against him. The claims are
held by the Pine City State Bank, the
First State Bank of Pine County, the
First National Bank of Rush City, the
Quarryman's State Bank and the
Sandstone State Bank, of Sandstone,
and the State Bank of Hinckley.
The examination of Wharton has
been postponed to some indefinite
time, and there is fair prospect that
the bankers will drop the prosecution.
Wharton's property, if sold at fair
valuation, is ample to make complete
restitution
Wharton was sentenced to serve
four years in the penitentiary. Ow-
ing to his advanced age, 62 years,
pleadings for leniency were made to
the court and Judge Stolberg made
the sentence as light as possible.
Wharton's populations date back to
1904, although most of the questioned
warrants date within the last two or
three years. The denouement came
by accident. Mr.. Williams, of the
Bruno school board, of which Wharton
was for years treasurer, was boasting
before Cashier Boyle, of the First
State Bank, that the Bruno district
was out of debt.
"Why, we have about $500 in war
rants on your district" said Cashier
Boyle.
1.-THE thunder you have?" cried Mr..
Williams.
1--WE have several Bruno warrants,
too" interposed banker from Rush
City, who happened to be in the Of
fee.
A bank clerk was then hurried to
the Pine City State Bank, and, upon
his return, still further warrants were
reported to be held by that bank.

other. A few days before Lincoln's
birthday Liser saw an advertisement
offering a reward of $45 for person
who would submit to the operation of
blood TRANSMISSION in Fordham hospital.
Liser went to the hospital and was Sc
lected from among many candidates.
The operation was performed by DR..
Black and DR.. w. ]. Walker, of the
hospital staff. After staying in the hos
pital for two days, Liser received $45
and was allowed to go home. The
money helped to tide over the little
family for a couple of weeks while LII
ser still went around looking for an
other job.
Two weeks after leaving the hos
pital Liser was seized with sudden
fainting spells. Next, he tainted in the
subway. An ambulance from the Flow
er hospital was called, but Liser re-
fused to go to the hospital for fear he
would miss a chance to get work. He
continued his rounds of the employ
ment agencies and house painting con-
tractors and finally got job to paint
a house in Amsterdam avenue.
With Charles Reynolds, Liser hoist
ed the painters platform to the fifth
story and began to work. About ten
o'clock Reynolds heard a gasp and
saw Liser fall to the platform.
REYNOLDS started after him, but be-
fore he could get to the other end or
the platform Liser dropped to the
pavement, five stories below.
Liser had no money and his body
was taken to the morgue. Neighbors
of the Users went to the morgue and
had the body taken to an underta-
ker's shop, from which place 1t was
buried. Mrs. Liser will be taken care
of by her neighbors until some plan
can be determined upon whereby she
can support herself. She is without
relatives in this country.

the commission form of city govern

city to give this newest form of NUM-
cipal administration a trial. The new
charter was adopted after one of the
shortest and snappiest city campaigns
ever fought out in Mankato. 1t re-
ceived 500 votes to 631 against it, but
it took 938 votes to carry, as under
the state law four-sevenths majority
is required.
The commission is to be composed
of mayor drawing 5000 per year and

ness of the city.
The saloon interests fought the new
charter actively, for fear of county op.
ton, although nothing in the charter
substantiates their fears. Most of the
present officials also fought it, but
Mayor Meyer, who opposed it last fall,
came out in favor of it this time.
Wards having largest foreign popula-
ton went against it heavily, while
other wards voted almost unanimously
for it. Politicians, as rule, were
against it. Governor Eberhart came
home to vote for the charter, returning
to st. Paul on the next train.

IRON ORE IN BEMIDJf.
Boys, Wondering Along Lake Shore.
Make Rich Discovery.

Bemidji. = Great excitement pre-.
vailed for a time in this city when
it was announced that quantity of
iron ore had been found on Diamond
Point, a stretch of land on the shores
of Lake Bemidji and within the city
limits.
Wilbur Lycan and Bryon Russell,
freshmen in the local high school,
while wandering along the shores OF
the lake found several small pebbles
among the sand which looked to them
like specimens of ore. The boys took
handful of the pebbles to G. L. Cum
mer, local jeweler, who after thor
ough investigation declared it to be
iron ore.
A. A. White, of st. Paul, president
of the Bemidji Concrete and Improve
ment company, is the owner of Dia-
mond Point. 1t has been known for
long time that ore existed in this
vicinity, but it is not known whether
it exists in paying quantities or not,
as no drill has ever been sunk or an
attempt made to work the beds. An
attempt will now be made to discover
the extent of the ore.
