POLICE NAB THE “BEMIDJI KID” Carl Sathers Arrested in Minne- apolis for Sending Obscene Matter Through Mail. Carl Sathers, who styles him- self the “Bemidji Kid,” and is known in this city to the police, < has got into trouble in Minne- apolis, according to the papers from that city. Sathers belongs in Minneap- olis, say the local pelice, and came to this city a month or so ago and did some crooked gamb- ling. The police immediately ran him out of town and he went back to the Flour city. The Minneapolis Tribune has the fol- lowing to say: Carl Sathers, rested by Detectives Passolt and Johnson Wednesday, was turned over to a federal officer Saturday. The charge against him is send- ing obscene matters through the mails. Sathers rejoices in the pseu- donym of the Bemidji Kid, and after the gang of which he was an honored member broke up, he went to Bemidji and is said to have operated exiensively. Finding that he needed some more help, he wrote to William Moran at 314 Hennepin avenue. Moran was an old pal of Sathers, appears that Moran was serving a little term at the workhouse, and that his mail was intercepted by the police. As a result, the arrest of the Bemidji Kid re- sulted. In his letter to his friend, Sathers offers Moran free tickets to the town in th2 northern part of the state if he will only bring two women with him. says that he is greatly in need of “keys’’ and asks Moran-to bring a supply with him. “With their help we can do some very good jobs here,” he says. Sathers 1s a Scandinavian, and in his letter he asks how his old comrades are getting how his old chief, Myron Pilinan, alias Greener, is doing it, and whether he is keeping out of jail, The letter is now in the posses- sion of the United States officer.

Two unknown men had a nar- row escape from drowning early this morning while fishing in Lake Bemidji. Their boat tipped over and, unable to gain a hold of the upturned craft because of the slippery bottom, they were rescued in the nick of time through the heroic efforts of two traveling men, W. C. Currie of Bemidji and J. E. Uhnch of Min- neapolis. The two unknowns are labor- had auchored their boat, a flat- bottom and rather tippy scow, a directly in front of the M. & I. depot. Currie and Uhnch were fishing ina boat at a httle dis- tance. One of the unknown hooked a fish and as he was having a hard time landing it, his companion came to his assistance. The two men unthinkingly threw their weight at the same time onto the edge of the craft and in an in- stant over they went, Frightened and a little dazed, the two struggled to get the boat rightside up again, but their hands slipped and the boat turned for several minutes, but were fast becoming exhausted when the traveling men reached their side and dragged them out of the water. The four then went ashore and the rescued men rushed away tor home so quickly that the rescuers did not have time to learn their names. Killed Opening Dam.

Inaccessible Forests That Abound In Guatemala. Nearly all of the northern and east- ern part of Guatem: covered with a dense tropical forest, cousisting of mahogany, different kinds of cedar, chicle and other hard woods. Along streams down which logs can be float- ed much of the mahogany has been cut, but as yet very little of the other woods have bean marketed. Tbis is es- pecially true of the departments of Pe. ten, Alta Verapaz and Izabal. Most of the forests still belong to the government, and the usual method of securing the timber is by concession, by which a certain number of trees are cut at a given price per tree, or a stip ulated sum is paid for the timber on a glven tract. It is not an easy matter to get titles to large tracts of land in Guatemala, as it is discouraged by the government. These concessions are not usually granted for a longer period than five years. Sometimes it is stipu- lated that if a certain number of trees are cut during that time they must be renewed. : The pine forests are limited, being in the mountainous country principally and inaccessible. Most of the lumber used comes from the United States. principally from California. The for- ests of this country are generally so Inaccessible that the railroad compa- nies import nearly all their ties and even import coal, because it is difficult for them to get enough firewood.—New York Herald. Gunpowder, The explosive nature of gunpowder, ‘Wwhich is made of charcoal, sulphur and saltpeter, Is due to the fact that when fired the charcoal and sulphur are burned at the expense of the oxygen in the saltpeter, much heat is devel- oped and large quantities of gas are produced. This gas exerts great pres. sure on the sides of the gun; hence 1ts disruptive or propulsive effects When gurpowder is fired in a gun the explosion is not instantaneous. 'The expansive force of the gases produced acts on the shot all the time it is mov- iug along the barrel and gradually in- creases its velocity. If the explosion were s0 sudden as to be practically in- stantaneous the greater part of the rorces would be exerted mainly on the sides of the chamber containing the powder and not, as Is actually the case, vu the shot, The Oldest Prescription.

But in the aggregate of forty minutes the pre- mier heard about all there was to hear in favor of female suffrage. The immediate granting of women’s rights was the unanimous demand of the speakers, some of whom present- ed to the premier their “minimum de- mands,” claiming that immediate leg- islation bestowing on women the right to vote was necessary and declaring that a promise to take the matter up at the next session of parliament ‘would not satisfy them, QOne speaker menacingly declared that the women were prepared to sac- rifice their lives in behalf of their de- mands. Asks Visitors to Be Patient, The premier smiled upon this strangely assorted gathering of wo- men, including as it did ladies of title slde by side with factory employes, and said he sympathized with the ob- ject of the deputation, but asked his visitors to be patient until the gov- ernment became more united ir favor of the extension of the franchise to ‘women. Personally he believed that women were as well qualified as men, and perhaps better, to exercise the right to vote and in his opinion the deputation had made out a conclusive and irrefutable case. Speaking for others, however, as well as himself, the premier pointed out that it was necessary to preach the virtue of pa- tience. Members of the. deputation subse- quently reported- the result of - their interview with the premier to a great gathering of their fellow suffragists on the Thames embankment, who loudly groaned their dissatisfaction. A monster meeting on Trafalgar square closed the day’'s proceedings. The suffragists made fiery speeches, threatening to secure their rights by fighting “and go to prison if neces- sary."” The demonstration concluded with the adoption of a resolution express- ing “profound dissatisfaction” with the premier’s reply and singing the “Marseillaise.” SENSATION IN GERMANY. Resignation of a Colonial Governor on Account of Il Health. Berlin, May 21.—A political and so- clal sensation has been caused by the announcement that Baron Jesko von Puttkamer, governor of the German Cameroon colony, West Africa, against whom charges of impropriety of con- duct have been pending for some time. will shortly resign on account of “ill health.” Charges against Governor von Putt- kamer were brought for the first time about ten years ago when allegations of inhumanity and cruelty were made by Herr von Stetten, former vice gov- ernor under Puttkamer, and Gies- bercht, a journalist. They were in- vestigated and the governor was ac- quitted. Baron von Puttkamer was from 1883 to 1885 attached to the German consulate at Chicago. Pope’s Condition Improved. Rome, May 21.—When Dr. Lapponi visited the pope during the morning he found his patient in an improved condition, although he had a some- what restless night as the result of his attack of gout. Owing to a slight rise in his temperature Dr. Lapponi ordered the pope to remain in bed for several days. VOTE NEARLY UNANIMOUS ONLY THREE SENATORS OPPOSE PASSAGE OF THE RAIL. ROAD RATE BILL. ‘Washington, May 21.—The railway rate bill passed the senate by a vote of 71 to 3. The only votes cast against it were those of Senators For- aker of Ohio and Morgan and Pettus of Alabama, The Dbill now goes to conference be- tween the committees of the two houses, The general opinion is that the agreement of the conference com- mittee will sustain the bill in prac- tically the form that it passed the senate. Foraker of Ohio, the Republican who voted against the bill, has been consistent in his attitude on the meas- ure. He has been against it since it way introduced. He contended that it was unconstitutional and worthless, in season and out of season, and re- fused to compromise. Senators Morgan and Pettus of Ala- bama, both more than eighty years of age, voted no because the Confederate legislature proclaimed the doctrine of states’ rights and they think the bill is not in consonance with that doc- trine. It was after seventy days of almost continuous deliberation that the sen- ate passed the bill. It was reported to the senate Feb. 26 and was made the unfinished business March 12 From that date to May 4 the bill was under general discussion without lim. itation on the duration of speeches, fifty-eight of which were delivered. Many of these were prepared with great care and two of them consumed more than a day’s time in delivery. Senator La Follstte spoke for three days and Senatér Daniel of Virginia for two days. Senators Bailey, For- aker, Lodge, Rayner, Dolliver and oth. aers each snoke for an entire day. SORES ano ULCER. TROUBLESOME-OFFENSIVE-DANGEROUS Nothing is more discouraging than to have an unhealthy sore or ulcer resist one treatment after another, sometimes scabbing over and apparently getting well, then returning with renewed energy and becoming worse than before. ' Sores and ulcers are not due to outside causes; if they were, salves, plasters, lotions, etc., would cure them. They are kept up by a diseased and polluted condition of the blood brought on by the absorption of refuse and waste matters of the body into this vital fluid. ~ These acccumula- tions find their way into the blood, usually because of an inactive and sluggish condition of the system. Nature intends that they shall be carried off through the usual channels of waste, but the different members failing to perform their duties properly leave the matter to sour and ferment. The blood then, in its effort to keep the system healthy, absorbs these poisons and at the first bruise, cut or wound the sore is formed, and the constant drainage of foul matter through it keeps the place open and irritated 80 it cannot heal.
