HIGH SCHOOL DROPS ECHO
Pupils Decide to Make Enlarged An
nual Take Place of MONTHLY.

At mass meeting of the students
at High School called by Miss Loe to
decide whether or not the school
should try to publish another volume
of it's paper, THE Echo" it was de-
cided that the paper be discontinued.
The proposition was held up in all its
different lights and was thoroughly
discussed by members of last year.
staff. Finally it was decided that the
publication Of a high monthly en-
tails too much expense and labor, and
therefore, the proposition was turned
down. 1t was decided, however, that
the school should make a special eff
fort this year to publish an annual.
The movement for such a book has
been on foot for several years, and a
step in that direction was taken last
year by the Senior class, who took
charge of the final issue Of the Echo
This year, however, the annual will
be more elaborate and will be a big
booster for the city and the school.
Another meeting will be called in the
near future to decide on the officers
to take charge Of the book.

Photos Were Taken.

The arrest of Ferguson was caused
by Assistant Attorney General James
who is here to represent the attorney
generals office in the prosecution of
DR.. Dumas.
That Ferguson had told the grand
jury some kind of a dynamite story
is indicated by the fact that Detec-
tive Fielding, who went to Deer
River to make an investigation, took
with him C. c. Crippen, the Be-
midi photographer, and that Mr.
Crippen took pictures of the spots
where the dynamite was presumed
to have been used to blast out stumps
in clearing land.
About all we got was pictures of
grass grown Stretches" was Detec-
tive Fielding's comment.

SENATOR CARTER DEAD
Distinguished Montanan Unexpected
Passes Away Sunday in His Wash

BEEN IN PUBLIC-LIFE q YEARS

| Washington, Sept. lS.-Former III
S. Senator Thomas Henry Carter OF
Montana, for many years a. notable
and picturesque character in national
politics, once chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee and since
last year chairman Of the American
section of the International commits
sion, died at his home Sunday of in
lection of the lungs. He was 81
years old.
Mr.. Carriers career was remark
able. extending over twenty-five
years of con gressional and official life
at Washington. This embraced the
service as the first Republican elect
ed from Montana; two terms in the
United States senate and executive
positions as commissioner of the gen
eral land Office, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee in the
second and unsuccessful campaign of
BENJAMIN Harrison for the presi-
dency; president of the board of
United States commissioners for the
Louisiana purchase exposition at st.
Louis and since last March chairman
of the newly created international
Joint commission, American section, .
especially charged with Canadian
boundary matters. ..-, s..
An Ohioan by birth, an Iowan by
adoption and a Montanan long be-
fore that state was admitted to5state-
hood, Mr. Carter jumped to the front
almost from the outset of his work
in congress. 4
Perhaps the most remarkable of all
his forensic achievements was his de-
feat eli a big river and harbor appro-
priation which he regarded as
"grab'' measure during the Mckinley
administrations.
President Mckinley did not favor
the bill and Mr.. Carter, strong adj
ministration supporter, began "a
speech against it at 1880 O'Clock at
night and talked continually until
| noon of the day following when the
session of congress expired.

SLATTEN'S BODY STILL IN LAKE
Suggestion Offered That More Ener-
getic Search Be Made.

Somewhere in the chilly waters of
Lake Bemidji the body of Gilbert
Staten, the young carpenter who,
disappointed in love, last week COM
mitted suicide, still floats. Complaint
has been made at this office that no
systematic search for the body has
been made. isn't the city supposed
to make some effort to recover a
body was one expression made to-
day, .:no matter if the dead per-
son is penniless person not IN
his right mind? In the name of de-
cency and humanity shouldn't some
thing be done. I don't think the
body has been searched for longer
than an hours time. They say there
are no graphing irons. Isn't it up
to the city to have such things? Can
anyone say that it is right to permit
that young mans body to float around
in the lake,"

young men singing in tenor voices
made a hit Bowling their approval
to the storm of handclapping, they
attempted to make a graceful retreat.
In some way, in the darkened thea

heavily to the floor, which aroused
the crowd to repeated applause.
Then Comes the Boquet.
Quickly arising Mr.. Williams start
ed to follow Mr.. King to seat in the

which was a large lemon. The relic
is on display at the Armstrong cafe.

DR.. Dumas got off the train here
and accompanied the prisoner to the
chambers of Court Commissioner H.
A. Simons. He appeared in his
usual jolly spirits and sat with his
feet on the judges desk during the
examination of Ferguson. There
was nothing in his attitude to indi-
cate that he had been the principal
in an exciting episode and he made
no reference to the incident.

Ferguson, formerly Cass Lake
saloonkeeper, and the man for whom
it is said, Dr. Dumas was holding the
dynamite which was found in the
mayors safe following his arrest or
June II last, was witness here last
week before the Beltrami county
grand jury. 1t is supposed that DR.
Dumas would contend that Ferguson
was to use the discriminating dyna-
mite to clear land.
Ferguson Charged With Perjury.
The charge against Ferguson al
legged that he gave untruthful testi-
mony AS soon as he was arraigned
before Court Commissioner Simons,
Judge Marshall A. Spooner, chief
counsel for DR.. Dumas, was sum-
moned.
Why was this man arrested" de-
manded Mr.. Spooner, when the
grand jury is still in session.
Attorney E. E. Mcdonald, appear
ing for the state said:
In justice to DR.. Dumas, l will say
that it would be no more than fair
that the hearing of Mr.. Ferguson be
postponed until after the trial of Dr.
Dumas"
Then the question was raised as to
whether the crime with which Fer
gnson is charged was bailable. Court
Commissioner Simons ruled that it
was and fixed the bail bond at $4,000.
Dr.. G. A. Christensen. a practicing
of Cass Lake, and NJ. j.
Baker, Deer River merchant, signed
Ferguson's bond, his hearing was set
for Sept. 26 at 10 a. m and he was
given his liberty, but not until after
he had protested his innocence and
had declared his arrest unjust.

Case Stirs Up Old Fights.

1t is doubtful if there ever before
was case in Beltrami county which
has famed the smoldering fires of the
different factions of this part of the
state, with angles which penetrate
the capitol itself, as has the present
charges against DR.. Dumas.
There is no question but that pub
lie sentiment, at one time over
whelmingly against the mayor of
Cass Lake, is swinging the other way
and the prediction is not infrequent
that his conviction by the state will
be difficult, if not impossible, task.
That the state has an avalanche of
testimony to present against the doc
tor there can be no doubt and it is
just as true that the defense is pre-
pared to melt away part of it; how
much remains to be seen.

Disturbance at Cass Lake.

when the train came to Cass Lake
we were meet by DR.. Dumas and
Walter Johnson, the latter signer
of the Dumas bond. Deputy Sheriff
Helmer was requested to exhibit the
warrant under which Ferguson was
arrested and that the prisoner be
taken before an attorney. When in
formed that it was the intention to
deliver Ferguson into the hands of
the court and not be exhibit the
warrant before, both Johnson and
Dumas created seen on the train
and the depot platform by hurting
violent language and demanding that
the warrant be produced. 1t looked
as if an attempt was to be made
TO overpower us, but the train started
and ended the scene. DR.. Dumas

of the American Association of Gen
eral Passenger and Ticket Agents be-
gan It's sessions at ST. Paul today with
Colonel Samuel Moody, passenger
traffic manager of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, presiding. The convention
will continue for several days. One
of the timely topics to be discussed
is the recommendation that railroad
passengers be charged extra for US
ing high-class equipment. It has
been suggested that a quarter of a
cent a mile be added to the price of
a ticket for a passenger using an
observation or parlor car. In sup
port of the proposal it is contended
that the railroads expend large
amounts to furnish this class of tray-
|elers fast train service, luxurious sur
roundings, and special attention of
various kinds. The association will
Thoroughly discuss the matter, but
any action it may take will be pure
/ ly advisory in its nature. A notable
feature of the convention will be the
banquet tomorrow night. Among
those scheduled to speak at the ban
quet are James J. Hill, President Nc
Crea of the Pennsylvania system,
Vice-president DAILY of the New York
Central lines, and several representa-
ftives of government railways in
