NOMINATION C. . ‘Dinehart Easy Leader for State Treasurer Nomination. - VISITS BEMIDJI TODAY FOR THE SECOND TIME. — Making Whirlwind Campaign— Says Sentiment Is Friendlv All Over State. C. C. Dinehart of Slayton, who is seeking the republican nomi- nation for state treasurer, spent last night and part of today in Bemidj in the interest of his can didacy. . He left on the afternoon train for Crookston. This is Mr. Dinehart’s second visit to this city within the last month and he now apparently has things here lined up in good shape for the Duluth convention. He has made a wide circle of friends and supporters during his two visits. The Slayton man has made a whirlwind campaign during the ‘last two months, covering every part of the state thoroughly, and it looks as though he had the nom- ination clinched. From the tone of the state press sentiment is most favorable to him in every county he has visited. Dinehart, with characteristic enterprise, engaged his head- quarters at the convention city, the very day Duluth was chosen by the state central committee, and he intends to carry the fight right up to the last minute, even though he has promise of having the field pretty much to himself when the big show is called to order. Mr. Dinehart is connected offi- cially with the State bank of Slayton, and his father is one of the big financial men of South- ern Minnesota. Additional Locals ; R. E. White of Kelliher is a business visitor in the city today. " Pipe Organ and piano recital at the Presbyterian Church tonight. J. P.

A AN AN AN AN Aot WANTED—Eugineer for steam loader; $75 per month, Hawkes & Dudley. Unfortunate. A certain merchant of Baltimore, who is well known for his philan- thx'agic spirit, was approached one day by an Irishman, formerly in his employ, who made a touching appeal for financial assistance. Said he: “I trust, sor, that ye’ll find it con- venient to help a poor man whose house an’ averything in it burned down last week, sor.” The merchant, although he gives wli,;h a free lmmi},l exercises consider- eble caution in his philanthropy, so he asked: 5 i “Have you any papers or certifis cates to show that you have lost luflthing by fire, as you say ?” @ Irishman scratched his head s if bewildered. Finally he Teplied: “I did have a certificate to that effect, sor, signed before a notary, but unfortunately, sor, it was burn- od up with the rest of me effects|” AITKINFEARS 'SEEMS SURE| ANOTHER FLOOD Telegrams From Upper M{s-: sissippi Indicate Repeti- tion of High Water. — Washington, April 25.—Tele- grams have beenreceived by Rep resentative Bede from residents along the upper Mississippi indi- cating a repitition of the disas- trous floods of last season in the vicinity of Aitkin. He has laid these telegrams before General McKenzie, chief of engineers, who has directed Major Derby, in charge of reservoirs at the head- waters of the river, to use all measures possible to prevent the floods, Major Derby has discretionary power to open or close the gates in the dams, There is no report on file here showing the present stage of water at the dams and nothing to indicate how much ad- ditional water may be stored. - Bede will. consult Chairman Burton of the honse. committee on rivers-and harbors about the situation in Minnesota. No relief legislation will be enacted this session, but Bede is hopeful that the committee can be induced to adopt some policy looking to the construetion of an Aitkin cutoff, or storage dams across the river immediately above Aitkin. The latter plan was recommended in a report of the board of engineers which-investigated the upper riy- er conditions last summer, Pipe Organ and piano recital at the Presbyterian Church tonight.

SERIOUS RIOTING OCCURS, Mob Attacks Workmen in a Wiscon- sin Tannery. Milwaukee, April 25.—A Sentinel apecial from Kenosha, Wis., says: Serious rioting occurred here dur- ing the evening in connection with the strike at the N. R. Allen’s Sons com- pany tannery, when a mob of nearly 200 men stormed the plant, breaking every window in one of the principal buildings and injuring two of the men employed in the plant. Two of the strikers had been arrest- ed on a charge of rioting and C. W. Allen, one of the managers of the plant, went to the county jail and se cured the release of the men with the understanding that they = spend the night peacably. An hour later the mob, armed with clubs and stones, returned to the plant and forced entrance into the building. The men employed in the builéing were driven from their benches and forced to join the ranks of the strikers It is alleged that from 500 to 600 men are now in the camp of the strik- ers and it is feared that a second as- sault on the plant will result in blood- shed. OPERATORS EXPECT TROUBLE. Several Anthracite Mines to Resume After Strike Is Called. Wilkesbarre, Pa., April 25.—John Mitchell, president of the Miners' un- lon, has arrived here to confer with the district presidents on the strike situation. The general scale committee will meet shortly to consider the refusal of the operators of the last proposal for arbitration. Three roads, the Delaware, Hudson and Erie, will attempt to resume the operation of their collieries forty-eight hours after the strike is called. The roads are prepared for a bitter struggle and the collieries will be veri- table fortified citadels. One stockade is five miles in circumference. The region is swarming with detectives, who are watching the miners. 1f the strike comes all agree that it will be attended with unusual bloodshed and violence. Stevenson's Engravings. It is not very generally known that Robert Louis Stevenson had artistic aspirations in more than one direction. He once while in Swit- zerland engraved on wood and print- ed a lot of crude but. original and striking illustrations for certain lit- tle books which were given away to friends. The only complete set of these curious little books belongs to Mrs. Charles Fairchild of - Boston. The blocks themselves are,-it is be lieved, in the Bostor museum, ‘Where there 1s much prefension there Is much that has been, borrowed; na- ture never pretends.—Lavater. : S RETURN FROM Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Miles Back in Bemidji—Reports Not Exaggerated. Mr, and Mrs. H. A. Miles re- Angeles, Cal., where they have spent the past month: They were at Long Branch, a small town a few miles from Los Angeles, when the earthquake occurred in San Francisco and the shock was distinctly felt by them. They immediately re turned to Los Angeles, where a shock occurred at 12:31 on the same day of the San Francisco disaster. This was not severe, but cups and other dishes stand- ing upon tables wetre overturned. Mr. Miles states that the pub- lished reports of the earthquake in southern California were not exaggerated. “Infact’’said Mr. Miles, ““they are not bad enough by half, “I had an opportunity of seeing several of the ruined towns on our return and can truthfully say that no adequate description will ever be given. Large brick and stone buildings twisted in all imaginable shapes, railroads and street car lines bent and de- stroyed and thousands of home- less . men, women and children met our gaze as we passed through the stricken district. Naturally, after the earthquake, we were very anxieus to flee from the country, but were forced to wait 30 hours on ac- count of the destruction of a por- tion of the Southern Pacific rail- way. Finally, we boarded a train in Los Angeles and started on our journey, but were delayed many times on account of the dozens of relief trains that were hurrying to San Francisco and other cities affected by the earth- quake, all east bound trains being ordered to take siding for the re lief trains. Atone place I saw 13 baggage cars packed with nothing but tents, tent poles, ete., and dozens of trains carry- ing food, clothing and other necessary articles were passed by us.” Mr. Miles is free to admit that he and Mrs, Miles were thor- oughly frightened and state that the 30 hours they were forced to wait to leave Los Angeles were longer than any they eyer ex- perienced before.

General Baden-Powell, writing to & Bolton schoolboy, says he believes that “smoking by feliows who ‘are still growing does therh an infinite amount of harm, and those who are sensible don't take up smoking un- til after they are twenty years of age or so. Fellows who smoke be- fore that age generally turn out rot- ters afterward.

Having tried palm~ istry, crystal gazing, Christian Sci- ‘ence, bridge and parly politics, so- ciety is about to study Plato. A dozen or so of the leading women of the aristocracy, including the Duchess of Sutherland and ~ the Duchess of Marlborough, have form- ed a commiitee to organize the hilosophic movement, and Dr. “mil' Reich, the well known histo- rian, who lectures in the London university, is to give a series of ad- dresses at Claridge’s hotel, to-be fol- lowed by discussion, in which the peeresses will take part. It is ex- pected that this will be merely the prelude to the formation of phile- sophic circles in other grades of so- ciety and thav the study of Plato Wi before long become an establish- ed feature of London life. Too Thin, There is a representative in con- gress from the west who is exceed- ingly thin. Being a very good natur- ed man, this representative alwaye tukes in good part any joking refer- ence to his slenderness. Indeed he is not averse to a jest himself in that connection, as is illustrated by an incident that occurred in a street car in Washington. It appears that just as the car was rounding a curve a burly citizen lurched forward and sat in the con- gressman’s lap., He recovered him- self quickly and began a profuse apology, when he was interrupted by the. statesman’s cheery “That’s n{l right.” “But,” added the congressman plaintively, “I wish, my friend, that ou’d tell me whether you thought was painted on the seat.”—Har- per’s Weekly. Biggest Mill In the Workd. On the banks of the Merrimac river at South Lawrence, Mass., the American Woolen company is build- ing a mill which makes most other American buildings seem small in comparison. This one mill is 1,900 feet—considerably -over a third of a mile—in length. It has a width of 150 feet, is six stories in height and will cost $3,500,000. This mill will give employment to 6,000 persons, and to save the time and strength of the thousands who will be employed on the upper floors escalators will be.provided which will lift 4,000 of them to the fourth, fifth and sixth stories in five min- utes. Engines of 10,000 horsepower will, actuate the machinery, all transmission of power being by elec- tricity.—Hartford Times. ~ CONDENSED STORIES. The Professor Was Not Interested In the Measure. For some time George Dexter Clark, former chairman of the Re- publican city committee, has been greatly deceived by the resemblarice which Professor- C. D. Hazen~ of Smith college bears to Representa- tive Winslow ‘H. Edwards of East- hampton. His confusion of the two led to many amusing interviews, in which Professor Hazen was asked “HOW ABOUT THAT LIQUOR BILL?" his opinion on political matters.’ His replies were often along other lines than' those expected by Clark. Matters culminated on a train to E})flngfield a short time ago, when r. Clark and Profeesor Hazen oc- cupied seats opposite each other. Raising his voice so that it could be heard above the roar of the train, Mr. Clark ?'elled, “How -about that liquor bill 7 “What liquor bill?”” demanded the astonished professor. *“I know noth- ing about any liquor bill.” “Why, of course you know,” per- sisted Mr: Clark. “You introduced it into the house.” “Introduced nothing!” said Dr. Hazen. “Aren’t you Representative Ed- -wards ?” asked Mr. Clark. “No” % *Oh 1”—Boston Herald.
