THE STATE IS CLOSE Returns Show that John- son’s Majority Will Be Less than 5000. BELTRAMI COUNTY RETURNS COME IN VERY SLOWLY. Dunn Now Has Majority of 789 With 17 Preeinets Yet to Hear From. The state of Minnesota is very close. Indications are now that John A. Johnson bas carried the state by less than 35,0 The Minneapolis Journal give to show that the democr: jority is 10,000, but as as the figures apply to northern Minne- sotathey are decidedly wrong. The Journal gives Polk county to Johnson by 1000 whereas almost complete returns show no advan- tage to either candidate. The Journal credits Kittson county to Johnson by 500, but returns show that Dunn has carried it by 200, Dunn’s majority in Bel- trami will rerch 1000, the Journ- al credits only 500. If the demo- cratic estimate is as near rightas this throughout the state Mr. Johnson’s majority will be very slender. Dunn Has 798. Twenty-nine precincts out of 46 in Beltrami county give Duan 1379, Johnson 590, majoiity for Dann of 798, The remaining precinets will undoubtedly raise the majority to 1000. Retarns have been very slow in coming in today. Roosevelt and Beaudette have been the only ones received. These precincts do not materially change the county resnlt as published in the Pioneer yesterday with the exception that the lead of M Loud and Harris is increased about 50 votes for each. A me: re from Bagley this afternoon ys that Dunn has carried Clearwater 63, Twenty six precinets in Bel trami county give Roose velt 1544, Parker 200, a majority for Roosevelt of county by Tax Settlement Complete. County Treasurer French has completed the tax settlement of all current taxes collected by him from June 1 to Nov. 1. The amount of the settlement is $21,281.99 which has been turned over to the county auditor for dis- tribution among the different funds of the county. One Fare Plus Fifty Cents.

Planing Mill Which Requires Large Crew Will be Operated During Winter. The large saw mill of the Crookston Lumber company in this city shut down this morn ing after one of the most success- ful seasons in the history of the company and from now until next spring no lumber will be turned out by the large manu- facturing plant. About four hundred employes are out of employmentas a re sult of the shutdown, but they will be used in the logging camps which are owned by the company during the winter and will return to this city next spring to take up their old posi- tions at the mill. The planning mill of the com- pauy, which is operated during the cold weather when it isim- possible to run the saw mill, will be busy turning out finished lumber this winter and a large crew will be employed in this branch of the industry. The effect on business condi tions in the city will not be ma- terially noticed, as at this season of the year a large number of woodsmen rendezvous in this vi- cinity and for the most part make Bemidji their headquart- ers. MRS. LOUD DEAD Prominent Lady of Bemidii Suc- cumbs This Morning After Long Iilness. Mrs. H. J. Loud, who has been sick with an affection of the stom- ach for the past six weeks, and upon whom two operations were performed for the disease, died this morning after terrible suf- fering and the remains are now at the family home at 519 Bemidji avenue. Although everything possible was done to save the life of the sufferer, no hopes were entertained for her recovery yes- terday by the attending physi- cians, and while thenews of her death will not be a surprise to her many friends in and about the city, it will be a terribls shock. Mr. Loud, who is county attorney of Beltrami county, is almost prostrated, and much sympathy for him is manifested throughout the city. Relatives of Mrs. Loud living at Superior, Wis., have been notified of her deathand will arrive tonight. It has not been decided as yet whether the funeral will occur Saturday or Sunday, but it is probable that the body will be held until the latter day in order to allow all her relatives to be present. Disastrous Wrecks. Carelessness is responsible for many a railway wreck and the same causes are making human wrecks of sufferers from throat and lung troubles. But since the advent of Dr. King’s New Dis- covery for consuwption, coughs, and colds, even the worst cases can be cured, and hopeless resig- nation is no longer necessary. Mrs. Lois Cragg of Dorchester, Mass., is one of many whose life was saved by Dr. King’s New Discovery, This great remedy is guaranteed for all throat and lung d es by all druggists, ,and $1.00 Trial bot- tles free. Wants Divorce. Mrs. Eva.Clavin applied for a divorce from her husband this worning before Judge Spooner wnd evidence in the case was submitted to Judge Spooner to- day. The grounds upon which Mrs. Clavin claims she is en- titled to a separation from her husband is that he deserted her and left her without anything upon which to subsist during his absence {rom home. No decision has been rendered by Judge Spooner as yet. A Runaway Bicycle. Terminated with an ugly cut on the leg of J. B. Orner, Frank- lin Grove, Ill.

WINTER IS AT HAND Snow YesterdayGloomy Fore- boding of Long and Ted- ious Cold Season. PEOPLE PREPARING FOR SIEGE BY JACK FROST. Winter Supplies Being Purchased And Wood Men Smile With Anticipation. The first harbinger of the com- ing winter was at hard yester- day and in anticipation of the long and tedious season, the people throughout northern Minnesota are preparing for winter. Winter supplies are be- ing purchased, wood piles re- plenished, houses banked up, and other preparations for the long siege of Jack Frost are un- der way. The first real snow was seen yesterday and for ten hours a light fall was evidenced in Be- midji. Although the weather was not cold, there is a remark- able change from the dreamy days of Indlan summer, which reminds the people of the north that the season for snow, frost and blizzards is at hand. Prognostications made by eminent weather prophets indi- cate that the coming winter will not deal so severely with Minne- sota as last year, although it is predicted that during the months of January and February equally as cold days as may be looked for. Indian prophets have stated that the muskrats have built very thin walls on their houses and give this as an indi- cation that the season will be a mild one. Other prophets de- clare that the fox;has a thick coat of fur which they give as a sure sign that the winter will be long and severe. Other signs, such as the moss around the roots of trees, the habits of cer- tain animals, etc., are given by some as certain indications of a cold or mild winter, but the pro gnostications of one prophet rarely if ever co-incide with those of another. USED REVOLYER Drunken Woodsman Fires Shots On Lake Shore and is Ar- rested by Police. Last night a drunken woods- man with a revolver created -somewhat of a disturbanceamong residents along the lake front and as a result was landed in jail by the police on a charge of drunken and disorderly conduct. The man was in a beastly state of intoxication and shotat a num ber of objects on the lake shore, using his reyolver in a super- flous manner until it attracted the attention of a number of peo ple in that vicinity. He appeared before Judge Pendergast in police court this morning and upon pleading guilty to the charge of being drunk and dis- orderly, paid a fine of $10 and promised to make himself scarce in this vicinity.

White, the democratic candidate for sheriff in Polk county, had been elected by a majority of 2000 over the re- publican nominee, Louis Gonyea. The truth of the matter is that Sheriff Gonyea was re-elected by a majority of about 800 votes. There is no lever so powerful as plain and simple facts—Mark’s Lung Balsam will cure your cough. L b3 MYSTERY IN DROWNING Friends and Relatives of Ja- cob Dyrhaug Think That He Was Murdered. LETTER CARRIED BY DEADMAN TURNS UP AFTER DEATH. Stranger in Shotley Country Sus- pected and Inyestigation Will Follow. The fate of Jacob Dryhaug, the Shotley postmaster who disap- peared two weeks ago last Sun- day, is still an unsolved problem. although a vigorous. search has been made in the waters of Red Lake, where it is supposed the man lost his life while returning to his homestead after attending a dance. A startling theory is advanced by friends and relatives of the dead man, who claim that his death was not due to any accident or natural cause, but.that he was done away with and the body thrown into the lake; the hat and boat being left on shore to mis- lead the public and to create an impression that he met his death accidentally. Gust Karlson, brother-in-law to Drybaug, returned yesterday from Shotley, where he made a complete investigation of the circumstances surrounding the death of his missing relative, and came to the conclusion that Dry- haug was murdered. He gives several sound reasons for his view, one being the fact that a letter which was carried by the dead postmaster was mailed at the Shotley postoffice six days after his death. Another cir cumstance which lends color - to the theory is the fact that Dry- haug carried a large sum of money upon his person at the time of his disappearance, some claiming the amount to be $200, thus establishing a cause for the murder. A stranger arrived in the Shot- ley country a few days previous to the disappearance of Dryhaug whose actions before and after the event caused considerable talk among the people of that neighborhood. He talked much abeut -the Dahl murder, asked questions of the settlers regarding the cir- cumstances surrounding their disappearance, and even before the hat and boat were found on the shores of Red Lake some comment as to the business of the stranger was elicited from the settlers in that vicinity. Although nothing definite has been decided concerning the course which will be taken by the relatives of the missing man, it is understood thata thorough investigation will talke place and until the budy is found every effor: will be made to learn the cause of his death.
