THROWN FROM TRAIN; KILLED Edgar Irish Meets Sad Death Early Sunday Morning at Cass Lake. Edgar Irish, aged 22 years, was fatally injured early Sunday morning by being thrown from the early morning west-bound passenger train on the Great Northern while it was passing through Cass Lake. Irish was standing on the rear platform of the rear coach while the train was backing from the depot to the water tank, when, without warning, the train parted and the air brakes set with a jerk. y ‘The young man was thrown violently from the platform to the track. In some manner his clothing caught and he was dragged several yards head downward. He was taken to a hotel and a physician called, but his injuries were fatal and he died at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The dead man has a brother living here, Newton Irish, who ‘for a considerable time was driver for the Bemidji Steam Laundry. He was at once noti- fied of the accident. Irish lived in Kellogg, Minn., but has a brother and a sister living in Edmore, N. D., and was on his way to that village for a visit when he met his death. *‘Opening of the Great Lakes.” Every Tuesday during the season beginning June 26, the Northern Steamship Company’s exclusively passenger steamship “‘The Northwest,” will sail from Duluth for Mackinae, Buffalo, Detroit and Cleveland, making close connections at Mackinac Island with “The Northland” for- Milwaukee and Chicago. This boat and its twin ¢The North- land,” which sails from Chicago Saturdays beginning June 23, are two of the finest passenger boats afloat and provide every convenience for the comfort of their passengers, Those who have made the Lake Veyage on these ships, are unanimous in saying: ‘“In all the world no trip like this,”” and the expres- sion is no exaggeration.

The annual meeting of the Northwestern Baptist associa- tion came to a close last evening and the majority of the hundred and more delegates are on their way home, Most of them went this morning, a few stayed until later trains, and some will spend a day or two more enjoying the beauties of Lake Bemidji. The meeting was pronounced by all the most successful one ever held by the association and all the delegates carry with them a most excellent impression of Bemidji as a. convention -city. Scores expressed themselves in wost appreciative language. They declared they have never been to a place where the hospi- tality is more pronounced and cordial, and where there are the natural advantages for entertain- ing a gathering. The beauties of the lakes and the woods especially impressed them. A Saturday afternoon Rev. Thos. Broomfield headed a party of over seventy on a trip to the head of the lake on McLachlan’s “North Star.” Rev. Dr. Riley is camping in the woods at a point several miles up the lake and the crowd landed and paid hima visit. Sunday two interesting meet- ings were held, the one in the afternoon being held in the city park. The ceremony of baptism was also performed at the lake shore in the afternoon, PORCUPINE PUTS DOGGIE TO ROUT Looked Easy, But Shows Canine Few Tricks He Had Never Seen Before. Saturday was a sad day for a pet dog belonging to N. P. Stone, for it was then he had impressed upon him the painful lesson that porcupines are not agreeable playfellows. The dog met the quilled stranger while cruising through the woods at Diamond Point, and thought to himself that here surely would be great sport. “Me for this,” said doggie as he trotted toward the little fellow and gave two or three challeng- ing barks, But Mr, Porcupine was not feeling -in a playful mood and bristled up his back and looked cross. His dogship was not to be bluffed, however, and made a grab. Just one grab and it was down and out for the dog. His face is still sore where a physician plucked out about a dozen quills. HOUSE YIELDS TO0 ROOSEVELT President Has His Way in Meat ~ Inspection Bill Before Congress. Washington, D. C., June 18.— The house committee on agricul- ture today authorized Chairman Wadsworth and Representative Brooks of Colorado to amend the inspection provision in the agricultural bill to meet the views of President Roosevelt. After this is done the bill will be submitted to the president by Speaker Cannon. MOTION TO PUNISH DENIED. Tobacco Trust Officials Not Guilty of Contempt. New York, June 18.—Judge La- combe, in the-United States court, has denied the motion of the federal gov- ernment to punish for contempt Will- iam K. Ransom, secretary of the Mc Andrews and Forbes company; John S. Young of the John S. Young com- pany and W. H. McAllister of the American Tobacco company. The contempt proceedings grew out of the failure of the officers to produce let- ters and papers before the United States grand jury which had Leen conducting an investigation into the so-called tobacco trust. The motion was dismissed on the ground that the men were served as individuals and not as officers of the corporations. HANDS DEFEAT | TO CROOKSTON Bemidji Ball Team Are Victors, . Winning by Score of R 15 to 2. Yesterday’s ballgame between Bemidji and Crookston was likened vunto the ‘Slaughter of the innocents,” with Bemidji es the executioners and Crookston as the victims. Manager Barker notified the “Crooks” that he had an aggre- gation up here in the woods that were acquainted with the funda- mental principles of the national game, and suggested that the Crookston people use a muck rake down there in the Queen city and bring the best they had. The Crookston manager brought Congressman Steener- son’s son and several other brawny men, including Marcus Stephens, the crack twirler of the ““Belles” team of Crookston. Bemidji put it all over the visit- ing players, winning the game by the one-sided score of 15 to 2. The locals batted like fiends, securing 14 hits off Stephens. Hallet and Holstein were the bat- tery for Bemidji. Hallet pitched a beautiful game allowing but 3 hits, and not a run was earned by the visitors, In addition to pitching, Hallet got four hits, two of them being two-baggers. Collins got two two-baggers and a three-bagger, and Bungo laced out one for two sacks, besides rlaying a sensational fielding game at third base. The Bemidji team won the game by hard, consecutive hit- ting, and the visiting players were never in it. Next time Crookston sends a ball team here, it had better advertise for some people who know the game. DUE TO CHILDISH PRANK. Twelve-Year-Old Girl Wrecks Pennsyl- vania Flyer. Marietta, 0., June 18.—Alice. Kyle, a twelve-year-old school girl, daugnter of a farmer, has confessed to having caused the wreck of the Pennsylvania flyer Thursday in which two passenger coaches were overturned and the en- gine, tender and mail car hurled down an embankment. The girl says she wedged a rail bolt between the ends of the two rails, just to see the train smash tt, as it had smashed nails and pennies at other times for her. 5 The girl will not be arrested, as the railroad officials are satisfied that it was a childish prank. Woman Loses Life on Prairie. Winnipeg, Man., June 18.—Word has been received of the death at Yorkton, Sask., of Mrs. H. Long, who lived alone with two small children. She was lost on the prairie while look- ing for cows and died frcm exposure. The children were -discovered five days later by neighbors about dead from starvation. Steamer Georgia Ashore. ‘Whitehall, Mich,, June 18.—The steamer Georgia of the Goodrich line ran aground during a fog on the shore of White lake while en route from Chicago to Whitehall. The pas- sengers are in no danger, but it may be a difficult task to release the steamer. Closed Down Indefinitely. Newcastle, Pa.,, June 18.—The She- nago tin plant, said to be the largest in the country, has closed down in- definitely, throwing about 2,000 men out of employment. No cause is given for the suspension of operations fur- ther than that repairs are necessary. The Discipline of Failure. The best skating is always on thin ice—we like to feel it crack and yield under our feet. There is a deadly fas- cination in the thought of twenty or thirty feet of cold water beneath. Last year's mortality list cuts no ice withus, ‘We must make our own experiments, while Dr. Experience screams himself hoarse from his bonfire on the bank. He has held many an inquest on this darkling shore of the river of time, and he will undoubtedly live to hold many another, but thus far we have not been the subjects, and when it comes to the mistakes of others we are all delighted to serve on the coroner’s jury. It isn't ‘well for us to be saved from too many blunders. We need the discipline of failure. It is better to fail than never to try, and the man who can contem- plate the graveyard of his own hopes ‘without bitterness will not always be ignored by the gods of success.—Mere- dith Nigholson in Reader. Tree That Gives Light. Among freaks of nature in trees there stands conspicuous one known as the Asjatic star tree. It is enormously tall, growing to a height of from sixty feet to eighty feet, while from the ground up to a-distance of about forty feet the trunk is perfectly bare. From that point there spring a number of tangled lhnbs, which shoot out clusters of long, pointed leaves, and it is these, grouped together, that emit at night a clear, phosphorescent light. This gives the tree a spectral appearance and ly very decelving to travelers, who fre- quently mistake the glow for an illu- minated window of a house. The light is not brilliant, but is of sufficient strength to allow of a newspaper be- Ing read by it. It does not flicker, but glows steadily from sunset to day- hreak. 2 Bartender Frank Arnold Charged John Sullivan, was up before Judge .

Real “cigar culture” begins at the beginning —on the plantation—not in the factory. It commences with the planting of the seed— ‘and continues through the cultivation and har- vesting, the sorting, the curing, the grading, the fermenting and the blending of the tobacco leaf, ANNA HELD CIGAR—5c. is produced under the American Cigar Company’s exclusive system, which combines all these de- partments of cigar-development under one management, insuring the correct treatment of the tobacco from plant to purchaser. This is real cizar culture,—possible only under such a system. - You benefit—as you’ll realize, when you smoke the “Anna Held.” Joid by ail dealers in good cigars. Trade supplicd by GEO. R. NEWELL @& CO., Minneapolis, Minn, The alleged battery took place Smith claims says he was ked several times. Political Speeches. Some people think, for instance, that political speeches do not matter. Po- litical speeches matter far more than the acts of parliament which they in- troduce. - Men care less even about what is being done than about why it is being done. The spirit in which a thing is effected is of far more practi- cal importance even than the thing it- self. This éan be tested by the simple experiment in social life of removing a gentleman’s hat for him, first in one spirit, then in the other. If you get rid of all the talk -whout practical politics (talked by tired men with £10,000 a year) and really look impartially at the history of human sociéty you will see that collisions have arisen far more from insults than from-njuries. Some of my imperialist friends, for instance, tell me that because I think South Afri- ca a nuisance to England therefore I should permit Germany to pluck it from us in war. This is like saying{ - that because I think a top hat ugly and uncomfortable I should let another man knock it off in Piccadilly. No doubt it is uncomfortable. But why should he knock it off? Who is he? I wonder.— G. K. Chesterton in London News. The *Smoke Story® is a book that tells ail @about these new processes. e Send it free.

The Guide’s Meanure, ‘““Things have come to a pretty pass.” Oect,, THE NEW WAY—AND THE OLD A revolution in cigar production as great as the evolution in rail- way transporiation from the days of Stephenson’s first locomotive to the Twentieth Century Limited! results in nothing in the world but a raw “tobacco sandwich.” Thz American Cigar Company's system provides not only for rmaking better cigars but for keeping them good. After careful inspection at the factories, the finished cigars are stored in great “ humidors” under the ideal Cuban climatic conditions, where their quality is constantly improving like rare old wine, till they are ready to go to the dealer. And when these thoroughly- scasoned cigars are ready to be shipped, not only are they boxed and sealed in the usual way, but the boxes are double-sealed, a tough water-proof parchment wrapper with the “ Triangle A” in red on each end. One cf the best examples of this new way of pro- ducing cigars is the “ANNA HELD” CIGAR 5 Cents The Anna Held cigar is rolied from blended tobaccos selected according to a formula that, if made by any other system, would make the same cigar cost 10 cents instead of five. i It is a smooth, even-burning cigar of faultless workmanship-and of delightful and distinctive flavor—regularly smoked by thousands of men who know what they like and why they like it. Sold by all dealers in good cigars Trade supplied by GEO. R NEWELL(&CO, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. ‘The American Cigar Company has perfected at a cost of millions of dollars a scientific and heretofore unknown method of thoroughly fermenting and truly blending the tobacco leaf. The fermenting process alone would produce from 2he same tobacco a cigar taat you would recognize as twice as good. It removes every last lingering trace of the rawness that spoils the harshness that burns the tongue and the b ruirs the flavor., The new blending process thoroughly combines the aromatic qualities of the various tobaccos required for each cigar before they go to the cigar-maker’s table. The ordinary factory-operation, miscalled “ blending,” is only a mixing by the cigar-maker of tobacco taken from two or three small piles of cured leaf—a mixing which
