■ Adjt. Gen. . Lambert yesterday.. Issued
his annual national guard encampment
order, giving the details for each of the
three national guard infantry rogimonts
and one battalion of artillery.
Each regiment wrll be in camp for ten
days at Lake City, and will .be reviewed
during that period by the governor and
his staff.
The regiments will go into camp on the
dates named below, as follows:.

A squad of men from Battery A will
take down one field piece a few days be
fore the Second Regiment goes to camp,
to be used in firing salutes and camp
signals. ■ . .
Adjt. Gen. Lambert is busily engaged
contracting for transporting the troops
to Lake City. There are nearly thirty
companies that will participate, and with
the exception of a half dozen in the Twin
Cities, they come from as many different
points in the state. -.-''"
Positive orders have been issued regard
ing certain rules which there has been a
tendency to violate in the past. - Com
pany commanders are directed to take
only bona fide members of the company
and substitutes cannot be taken to camp
under any circumstances.
Privates will receive $1.50 per day for
the time they are in camp, corporals $1.75,
sergeants $2 and commissioned officers the
same pay as allowed regular army offi
cers of the same rank. To be eligible to
any per diem whatever It is necessary
for each sodlier to be in camp for at least
five days. '.-'•-"> ■'-,'•' ■ ' ■ ...•• ." ■•
Gen. Lambert, in his order, requests
company commanders to investigate all
cases where employers of the militiamen
intimidate them into staying at home,
and good excuses must be offered before
any one will be excepted from camp duty.
The boys will leave their dress uni
forms at home this time, as only the fa
tigue suits will be worn while at camp.
Regimental commanders will have full
charge of the camp, and all rules are to
be strictly enforced.

LOOKING FOR "FOSTER."
When He Disappeared So Did Mm,
Hohman's Jewelry, ' - .
A man with a new scheme has been
operating in St. Paul. Mrs. Louisa Hoh
man, who conducts a boarding house at
:"6 Goodhue street, is his first victim, and
for, her knowledge of ;the man ; has paid
out, in' an indirect manner. It might be
stated, a considerable amount of jew
elry and other valuables. .-.--.-.
■ A man went to her. ■ boarding house
Thursday, and, giving the name of Frank
Foster, requested that he be * furnished
accommodations. He Was of genteel ap
pearance, well dressed and apparently a
business man of ; about fifty-five years
of age. Mrs. Hohman went down town
yesterday to do a little shopping and
'up#ft'her return found her new boarder
gone. The fact would not have attracted
unusual attention If it had not Immedi
ately developed that he had carried away
wit h him a gold watch,- diamond ring, '
plain gold ring and other articles of
jewelry, together with several articles
of clothing which did not belong to him.
The value of the missing articles is $100.
The matter was at once reported to
the police and the man was identified
from the description furnished, as a
person who has recently been operating
in Minneapolis as a hotel grafter. He
is In the habit of approaching a night
clerk and telling a story to the effect
that he is without money, but expects a
brother to arrive In the morning with
goods and coin of the realm. When
morning comes the man is invariably
missing, and with him , such articles of
value as he can secure. ">:.-.•'.'

!
Am a Bridge Foreman He- Hud Met
With Some. Serious Accident*—
Coroner Nelson Aticrlbeß Death |
to Internal Hemorrhage lti'iull
lug From Some., of the Former
Injuries. .. ..;
Ed A. McDonald, forty-five years of '
age and for eighteen years foreman for ]
James McClure, contractor, '676 Dayton :
avenue, was found dead in his bed early ,
last evening' at " his - home, 400 St. An- ■
thony avenue. The,coroner viewed" the j
remains arid rendered an - opinion that
death came about 2 o'clock yesterday af-'.
ternoon while the man was asleep
caused from internal hemorrhage of a
tumor on the- right side. ,:2" :.'
Mr. McDonald was well known in St.
Paul and the ' circumstances surround- )
ing his death are unusual. Nine years j
ago he was injured by a falling derrick,
which struck him on the right side,
breaking five ribs and almost causing his .
death.-- He was confined to his bed for
many weeks, but eventually recovered •
and resumed his work. At another time j
he was the victim of an accident while
at his work which fractured his leg and
crushed his foot. . Last Easter morning
he fell on the sidewalk, in front of his
home and sustained a^jfracture of his .
right arm, froii(x which he has only "been •
convalescent for a few weeks. His old
injury has affected him almost con
stantly for eight or nine years and he
has complained :at times of stomach
troubles, though .he did not know its
cause.
He rose and dressed yesterday morn
ing and went out, returning to his home
about 11 o'clock. After eating dinner he
went to his room and lay down. That
was the last seen of him in life. About
7 o'clock last night his little niece went
to his room to call him for supper and
found him lying on one side, apparently
asleep. Something .in his appearance
frightened her and she went down stairs
and told her mother, - Mrs. J. W. Garvey,
that she feared something had happened
to her uncle. Mrs. Garvey went up
stairs and found her brother dead, ap
parently for some time. ', She at once no
tified her husband, who is a fireman of
Hook and Ladder Company No. 3, and he
hurried to the house. An examination
of his pulse showed that life was extinct
and the coroner was notified. .-.•■-"> -.;>'
The deceased was a widower and the
father of three children, two girls and
a boy, the youngest child living in Min
neapolis and the next youngest in Su
perior. One daughter lived with him at
his St. Anthony avenue home. His wife
died three years ago and his bereave
ment has affected him greatly. He has
frequently expressed a desire to lie by
her side, though being a reticent man he
was not in the habit of speaking often
of his personal affairs. His mother,
Bridget McDonald, is still living and re
sides with a son, Henry McDonald, at
258 Tennessee street. Anthony McDon
ald, another brother and an employe of
the C. W. Hackett Hardware company,
resides at 908 Iglehart street.
VERY HONEST ABOUT IT.
When He Said Indian Mounds, He
.•',>;-..{ /Meant Indian Mounds.
F. S.VSpOoner, recently connected with
the Associated Press, and- for a number
of years connected with various news
paper enterprises in the Northwest and
elsewhere, gave a number of-officials a
bad scare, but nothing worse, -Thursday j
night when he wrote to Assistant Chief
Irvine, of the department, a letter
stating that he was tired of life^iThen
he went to Relief Agent Hutchins and
told him the-same thing with the sup
plementary; embellishment that he had
decided upon | Indian Mound- park as the :
most picturesque , and .sightly •■ site.: for a j
suicide in and about St. Paul. In early
days, when he was less expert in his ju- ;
dicious .^election,' and less . experienced In.
the suicide business, he had determined
upon the Smith avenue bridge, as he
had told Dar Reese, clerk of the supreme
cuort, and others, but this' time the In
dian Mounds park met his curious pur- j
pose best. If he "should be swerved by
from this purpose, it must be by an
Intervention of Providence.
Mr. Hutchins was alarmed. Assistant
Chief Irvine was - alarmed. It' was a
new one on them. If they had been
called upon the same game before they
would have known that a V was a suf- j
ficient wedge to wad an ; impassible bar-1
rier between the would-be suicide and
eternity, for a time at least. > ;
So the police were notified, and sure '
enough they found Spooner on the In- i
dian mounds, as per promise, threat,
agreement, or whatever it was.
So it was impossible for the suicide to j
be accomplished. with the police present, ;
and yesterday It was pretty wet on the ■
Indian. mounds, even for a comfortable
suicide. v . ; \

;: -.-■■ . • -,-.;• *»«■.■.-.!■■- ■.-.-. -.- r |
• Attorney General < Douglas yesterday
received a decision,- given by Judge James
H. S Qulrin, of Wells,' Minn., which sus
tains the state : in>'th*'litigation over the
Anderson bill, for a taxation of unused
railroad; lands. - There are two ; cases on
this subject now; In the courts—one which
has been carried to,the United States su
preme court and the case decided a few
days ago by Judge Quihn. '^;.. '." '.
, While .! both .- cases ' involve different :
points of controversy, they both hinge on
the constitutionality of the Anderson law,
and Gen. Douglas thinks the ■ case in the
Jackson county court is by far the most
important of the " two, and '• he is ac
cordingly jubilant. i*- -' ■ . '■- ■ ' • '■
, It is, however, but the beginning of the
litigation upon the subject that will not
be ended until- the United States supreme
court, in the regular order of business,
renders a decision, which usually takes;
two ?or three; years. The state won both
cases on the appeal, and should the rail
road companies lose again before the
i nation's highest tribunal they will have to
pay an amount almost double the tax for
interest and penalties which . will accrue
on - account of the tax 1 being : allowed to
become delinquent. iV ;/.:y/<
The case in the United States court In
volves the right of the state to tax un
used lands belonging to railroad compa
nies operating under state charter. The
case decided in Judge" Qulnn's court in
. volves the same question as It applies
to land 3 owned by coiripahies" chartered
by the territory of Minnesota. The latter
case was brought against the Root River
& Southern Minnesota Railway company.
The railroad is no^'a part of the Omaha
system, . and the land Is owned and sold
from time to time: by a company that
has no connection with the company own
" Lf^ tll e railroad- /The attorney general
held that there was a'divorcement when
the land parted from the owners of the
railroad; and consequently it was not sub
ject to the limitation* of the charter
Another claim made by. the state was that
taxation can never be made the subject
of a contract, ft Is.claimed that the
gross• earnings tax is a contract between
the state and the. corporation, and that
no other tax can be Imposed
This point Is perhaps the most tenable
ground that th« "state as In the litigation -
and is the one that the failroad companies
have contested very bitterly. • The gross
earnings tax is, they, claim, all that they
are compelled to pay .. ; . ■ r
There is but little doubt that the case
decided in Judge Quinn's .. court will be
carried up. _■_... . . ■ ,. _. .....: .. .

BIG DELEGATION PLEADED
Nearly One Hundred People Urged
That the Pardon Be Granted, but
the Board Does Not Think He Has
Paid the Penalty of His Crime
Yet—Was Convicted of Soliciting;
a Bribe.
Tho state board of pardons, at a spe
cial meeting held at the executive cham
bers yesterday afternoon, denied without
prejudice the application of George A.
Durnam, the Minneapolis alderman, for a !
full pardon. -'"■■--■ ..-'■-■'*■
The case was continued from the* last
regular" meeting of the board In April,
and was strongly - urged for favorable
consideration at the hands, of the board
by a delegation of over a hundred citi
zens of the Third ward, Minneapolis,
who appeared ;in the former alderman's
behalf. The board of pardons reviewed
fully the testimony in the case, which
was very exhaustive,- as well as giving
the friends and relatives of the prisoner •
a lengthy hearing. When the board de
nies an application for executive- clem- :
ency without prejudice. It means that the
denial does not prejudice future applica
tions, If one be made. ■ •■•=■ ■--.- •■ . ■■,:• .-
Mr, Durnam was convicted of solicit
ing a bribe from the firm of Halvorson.
Richards- & Co.,- of Minneapolis, in his
official capacity as alderman. The con- '
viction was not secured until the sec
ond trial was held, as the jury at the
first hearing disagreed and another case
was immediately brought against him.
After his conviction the matter was car
ried to the state Supreme court last fall
and decided a few months later. The
strongest plea that was made for Mr.
I?urnam's release was that his family
were in need of his support, and his wife,
■who Is an invalid, was in a very preca
rious condition. • y

Dean W. S. Pattee, of the law school,
presented the class, after which the class
individually took the oath and were hand
ed their certificates, admitting them to
practice in any court in the state of Min
nesota-
Chief Justice Start made a brief charge
to the class. He read from the code of
ethics of the profession some well accept
ed rules and briefly gave the class a few
words of admonition and congratulation.
Attorney John Lind, who is also govern
or, addressed the class briefly in the sen
ate chamber, where they adjourned to
after tho exercises in the supreme court
room. He advised them to be careful and
never take a case unless they were con
fident of winning. He had. he said, won
75 or SO per cent of the cases he ever tried
and he believed this rule was the secret
of his success. He stated that the rule
was well carried out by a leading authori
ty on pleadings, whose name had momen
tarily slipped his tongue. Judge A. C.
Hlckman, who usea Bliss, suggested his
favorite authority, and the governor as^
serted that he did not have much faith
In Bliss. The class laughed, as that was
the text they had been pursuing during
the term. Judg-e Hickman rejoined with a.
felicltious remark and the best of feeling
existed. There was a general hand-shak
ing with the judges and a half hour was
pleasantly spent in a social way. Judge
Htckman provided a spread for the class,
which was well enjoyed.

AN INTRICATE MACHINE.
It Turns Out Over 7,000,000 PHIS
Every 'Working' Day.
At St. Helens, Lancashire, England,
there is a factory containing Intricate
machinery which turns out 7,200,000 pills
every eight working hours. These pills
cure constipation, and the people know it.
Tho name is Beecham's.
There never has been a signed testi
monial published, as the proprietor be
lieves Beecham's Pills should make head
way on their own merits. The advertis
ing is confined to moderate statements
of what the pills actually do.
An annual safe of 6,000.000 boxes proves
Beecham's Pills to be the most popular
remedy on earth for constipation and
kindred disease*-
