No one can blame the veterans of the Grand Army of the republic if they want to support an old comrade and an honorable war record like that of Judge Collins is a thing to com- mand the esteem and vespect of all of us butthere are other qual- ifications which the governor of Minnesota must have and Judge Collin’s frienls might better _their campaign by mentioning some of these now and then.

The Journal would do better to have the courage of its convictions and say a word or two for its favorite now and then through its editorial columns, THE ‘‘death knell” of the trusts is being sounded in the daily press—but don’t trust this particular knell too much.

SUCCESSFUL SOUTHERN MINNE- SOTA FARMER TO MANAGE IT. Thoroughbred Stock to Be Intro- duced and Systematic Work From the Start. I, H. Jackson of Rock county, Minn., isin the city today the guest of A. L. Crocker, of the Crowell-Crocker Land Co. Mr, Jackson will undertake the man- agement of a large farm in the vicinity of Shevlin for the Cro- well-Croclker Co. The company has large inter- ests in this vicinity and un- bounded faith in its future, and proposes to develope one of the fincst farms in this section near Shevlin. Inadvertising this sec- tion of the country it hasto over- come a predjudice against the northern section of the state which is as unreasonable as it is far fetched,and the company has decided that it will show the peo- ple just what a good farmer can do. : Mr. Jackson was for several years the sucessful manager ofa 640 acre farm in -Rock connty, and is a thoroughly practical and experienced farmer. 5 At the farm which ke will de- velop he will have a fine oppor- tunity, and the Crowell-Crocker Co. expect in two years time to have a farm which will compare with anything in the state It will be stocked with the best thoroughbred cattle, hogs and sheep, equipped with mod- ern buildlngs and fixed up in the best possible manner, and will be a valuable advertisement for this entire section of the state. Mr. Jackson will begin work at once, and by the middle of the coming summer everything will be in good shape at the farm. Must Keep Mum. President Roosevelt recently issued an order to civil and mili- tary officers of the United States that they are not only to refrain from criticising the beligerent Japs and Russians, but that they are to refrain from expressing a preference. This applies to the land office officials, postmasters and__clerks. Hezxeafter -anyone hearing a United States civil offi- cer expressing a preference or sympathizing with either of the beligerents will consider it their duty to report to Theodore Roosevelt. Swell Head Gear. Miss Munroe, of St. Paul, 1s at the Markham hotel with a full line of the season’s millinery and will remain for tomorrow and Saturday only. Miss Munroe has on exhibition some of the swellest things that fashion has created for spring and summer wear. The exhibition includes all the spring styles now being shown in the big fashion centers and will doubtless draw a large attendance from the ladies of Bemidji. Go to Continental Divide. The local lodge of Rebekkahs decided last night to accept an inyitation of some standing to visit the Hotel Summit at Buena Vista and arrangements are made for the trip next Tuesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Speelman are both honored mem- bers of the order and the Speel- man home has a reputation for hospitality that is well known. The party will drive out from this city and anticipate a very pleasant time. The Conductor. Conductor Warren of the €. & N. W.R. R. says: I had been suffering with a severe cold for several days. and was so hoa I could rot speak above a whis- per, Nov. 16, 1 met one of Dr. Warner's agents on my train, he handed me a bottle of the White Wine of Tar Syrup, and one hour after taking the first dose my hoarseness commerced leaving me. Intwenty four hours my voice was quite clear and natural the cold nearly cured. It is the best remedy I ever saw. Dog Fighting Tenstrike. Interest in dog fighting is at a white heat at Tenstrike and a big fight was pulled off there last Sunday. A well known Ten- strike gentleman has a dog that has taken everything into camp up to date, and would like to ar- range a fight with a Nymore dog. Dogs to be weighed in at forty four pounds, to give or take a pound for a side bet of $100, a scratch and turn fight. Jenetta's Fortune [Original.] In a shalblly furnished pavlor sat Jenetta Macomber, aged ninetcen, and her lover, Leon Wynne, ten yecars her senior. “When you went to the lawyer who advertised for you, what did he say?” “He asked me if I was Jenelta Ma- comber. I told him yes./Did my fa- ther go away when I was a baby? Yes. My mother’s name? Caroline Swann. Then Le told me that a for- tune awaited me in California.” Leon shook bis head. “There's some game in the wind,” he said. “Well, good night. L'l see you before you go.” The next day Leon Wynne called upon Martin Cahoon, the Jawyer who had advertised for Jenetta. Ile found a shrewd looking man, indeed one whom- Leon- saw-at « glance would bave no merey in money matters. “I have notleed,” said the young man, “that you bave advertised for Jenetta Macomber, sole helr to the estate of Andrew Macomber.” “I have,” said the lawyer, bringing a air of plercing eyes to bear on Leon. “I am Andrew Macomber's only child, This Jenetta Macomber comes from another branch of the family. She 1s my cousin.” “Can you substantiate that?” “I can.” Cahoon looked incredulous. “See here,” said Leon, ‘There’s no use in you and me trying to fool each othergChis gfrl is under my-influence, and I ean do what I like with ber. You evidently know something about this fortune, if it exists, and I need your gervices. I have no money to prose- cute the claim, either for expenses or court or lawyer's fees, What do you say to taking my case on shares? I'll glve you half.” There was a look of cunning in the lawyer's eyes as he replied: “If you are the sole heir and call cs tablish the fact, of course I shall be happy {o serve you.” “Very well. 1 will show you that 1 can do what I say. TI'll sce you to- morrow.” Leon went directly to Jenetta and told her the whole story. Then he drew up a paper confirming his claim to the property, and she signed it. The next day Leon took the paper to the lawyer. Cahoon looked at it, aston- ished. Then a crafty smile passed over his face. “Well,” said the client, “arc you sat- {sfled that you can trust me?” “It's risky,” replied the lawyer. “Not half the risk of trying to work it through the girl, especially as I'm on to your game,” There was a good deal of sparring, at the end of which Leon left the office commissioned to go to Rio de Janciro to endeavor to get possession of the fortune left by Andrew Macomber. It was plain that Cahoon had intended to send Jenetta to California to get her out of the way while he was working a scheme to secure possession-of her inheritance in her name. This bit of luck in her relinquishment of ber claim in favor of Leon Wynne put a new face on the matter and rendered the Job far easier. Leon signed a paper agreeing, In lieu of advanced expenses, counsel fees, ete,, to give Cahoon one- half the estate when obtained. When he left the office it was with a check for $300 with which to pay his way and living for a time at Rio. e went immediately to Jenetta. “We must be married at once,” he sald, “and secretly.” “Why she asked, astonished. “Your father, so Cahoon says, has really died in Rio possessed of a for- tune, and you are the only heir.” “In Rio?” “Yes. Using the paper 1 asked you to sign, I have succeeded in unearthing the truth. I have agreed to give Ca- hoon one-half of the fortune if I get it. But, you sece, sweetheart, T don’t want ft. It would be better for us to get it In your name and without this tremendous inheritance tax Cahoon has levied on me.” “But why are we to be married in such a hurry? “T have agreed to go at once and col- lect your fortune. I prefer to have your company, especially as you are the le- gal leir. As to the secrecy, notwith- standing that I hold the winning cards I don’v dave to let Cahoon know that T have duped ‘him. There's no knowing how he might trick us yet.” “When does the steamer leave? “In an hour. T may be waiched by Cahoon or his spies to sce if I sail on her, and I must not disappoint them, nor must it be known that you go with me. Once out on the ocean it will make no difl but you must go to the ship without me, and it would be safer to go disgu On second thought it may be rous for us to attempt a marriag We'd “better be married sboard the ship.” “Rut supposing there is no clergy- man." “In that ¢ we reach It Just_befor vo. we'll have to wait till the steamer sailed- Leon Wynne went aboard. ITe had been pre- ceded by an old woman whom he kept in sight {11 the ship moved off. Among the faces on the dock Leon recognized Cahoon. Taking a pair of green spee- tacles and a wig from the old woman beside him, Leon revealed a young » Cahoon,” he called, “let me in- troduce Miss Macomber.” The nest moment Cahoon had disap- peared in the crowd. Fortunately the rtaaways fonnd a clergyman on board to tie the knot, and on reaching Rio they found the story of the fortune to be correct and in due time secured it. When they returned- Cahoon had removed his law offices to some place unknown. COHARLOTTE ATWOOD BARBOUR.
