BEMIDJI SCALPS Visitors, Beaten Twice Friday, Get Sweet Revenge With 16 to 0 Score. Tread softly; speak not slight- ingly of the ‘‘dead.” Reference is made to the erst- while champions of the north- west, the Bemidji baseball team. 'here was a frightful holocaust at the ball park yesterday after- roon, and for two mortal hours the carnage was something fierce. The members of the Akeley base- ball team, seven of whom are Indians, attacked the local pig- skin handlers and smote them hip and thigh;in fact, the mas- sacre rivaled the disaster overtook the unprotected resi- dents of New Ulm, along in the in a fighting-jag condition, and began using the most vile and profane language while going to] tore our clothes, wiped up the EdisonBere-|diamond with us and left us in a|kind of material will be the best man, proprietor of the hotel and | helpless condition, at the con- saloon, requested Cameron to|clusion of the nine rounds of|able to establish and will recom- and was|strife, the score standing 16 to 0. the Bereman hotel. cease his vile talk, answered by a volley of filthy names that would arouse the ire of the most peaceable citizen. Bereman prevented Cameron entering his place again, and the former went up town, vowing he would return witha “bunch’’ and clean out Bereman’s saloon, and shouting that he would *‘lick Ed. Bereman before morning.” He returned with some com- panions and again started a row with Bereman. The latter put him out of the saloon and Cam- eron was hit during the mix-up. Outside the building, Cameron picked a second fight, with B. IV, Brady,and fell off the porch. His movements after leaving the hotel are unknown, except that he occupied a room in the Labree hotel, where his dead body was found in the morning. Dr. Ward of Northome, deputy coroner of Itasca county, went to Houpt and examined the body, stating that he could not deter- mine what had been the cause of death. George H. Spear, county attorney of Itasca couuty, is ex- pected from Grand Rapids this afternoon and will hold an in- quest at Houpt tomorrow. Mr. Bereman is in the city to day,and his version of the affair coincides with the above, Says Cass Lake Is Booming. M. N. Koll, receiver of the United States land office at Cass Lake, came over from the Lake Saturday evening and returned home on that night’s passenger. Mr. Koll states that Cass Lake is enjoying better times, right now, than have prevailed there for several years. Thenewly-organ- ized commercial club is doing much good for the town, and the people there are beginning to work together harmoniously. If the Lydick allotment is annexed to the village, according to Mr. Koll, it will be of great benefit to the entire community, and do away entirely with the small strife and dissension that has prevailed there ever since the village was organized. They are making preparations to royally entertain the editors and their families of the Northwestern Editorial association, who will visit Cass Lake next Saturday afternoon, and among other good things in store is a moonlight excursion on Cass lake, aboard the large steamer, “Zelah May.” T00 LATE TO CLASSIFY.

Those Indians jumped on us, Composite picture of Bemidji “fan,” yesterday evening. It was a great exhibition. There was a high dive, a balloon ascension, leap the gap, and a genuine war dance, all inside one enclosure. And Charley Scheers, editor of the Akeley Tribune, sat in the grand stand and smiled serenely while we suffered. Butnot todigress;thegame was all Akeley. Coleman, the Indian pitcher, was simply invincible. Heallowed but three scratch hits, struck out six, and hit one man. His teammates made but one error behind him, and did some of the greatest ficlding ever seen in Bemidji. The visitors got fifteen hits, and that not being sufficient, Be- midji made fifteen errors. Every member of the local team went to pieces and the fans groaned. Charity to Bemnidji forbids further discussion of the game. They simply had an *“off”’ day. John Reis of Shakepee acted as umpire and his work was the bet seen here this season, The “Del Marca” ball team and a team selected from among the employes of the Crookston Lum- ber company played a five-inning game at the park yesterday fore- noon. The contest was a good one, and the ‘Del Marca’s” won by a score of 4 to 8. The feature of the game was a home run made by “Jack’ Peterson. Bat- teries, Benson and Smith for the “Del Marca’s,” Billideau and Collins for the mill. Lawn Social.

KELLIHER Preliminary Work Will Begin at Once on a Municipal Plant. w The village of Kelliher will at once commence the preliminary work necessary to the installing a first-class waterworks system, and with that end in view has secured the services of M. D. Stoner of this city and C. W. Jewett of Blackduck to have charge of the work. R A well will be dug at once, and Mr. Jewett will personally super- vise the operations in this con- nection. Mr, Stoner states that they are prepared to godown as far as 150 feet, or farther, if necessary to secure a good supply of water sufficient to establish the system. When the well is completed, HUSTLING FOR RING AND WATCH Contestants and Friends in Carni- val Contest Getting Exceed- ingly Active. The carnival contest is begin- ning to warm up. The votesare coming in in a manner that in- dicates a growing rivalry among the young ' ladies entered, and within a few days, now, the pub- lic is likely to hear little else but the great contest being carried on for the diamond ring and the gold watch offered by the Commercial club. Miss Lela Solberg and her friends have been the most active, so far, and Miss Solbergis still in the lead with 750 votes, but the friends of both Miss Mabel McTaggart and Miss Dora Hazen have also been quietly at worlk ard they have turned in a batch of votes. Miss McTaggart is in second place with 850 votes, while Miss Hazen follows close after with 300. The contest is just starting, and doubtless there will be several other entries within the next few days. All threeof the young ladies now entered are enthusiastic over the contest and their friends are commenec- ing to get aroused to action. All are immensely popular and will draw their support from wide circles.

A Missing Five Franc Plece. Fully half the grownup people of France belleve the old story that Napo- | leon Bonaparte put a check for 100,000 francs in a sllver five franc plece and that the coin is yet in circulation. They say that the people did not want the five franc piece and that in order to create a demand for it Napoleon re- sorted to the device mentioned. The check or treasury order, 1t is said, was written upon asbestus paper and in- closed in the metal at the time the coln was made. Thousands of five franc pleces are annually broken open and have been so Inspected since the story of the check was first circulated. Right of Way In New York.

Interstate Commerce Commission Ap- peals From Decision. ‘Washington, July 30.—An appeal has been filed by the interstate com- merce commissicn with the supreme court of the United States from the United States circuitl court at Chicago in the case of the interstate commerce commission against the Chicago Great Western railroad and other railroads of the West. Some time ago the com. mission developed the fact in a hear- ing that the raioads were charging ht for the transportation Han for the products of live stock and cntered an order that the railroads should equalize the rates, This the roads declined to do and the commission instituted suit in the United States circuit court at Chicago to compel them to obey the order. The commission ‘was defeated in the original action and now has taken an appeal to the supreme court. SUPPORT LENROOT. La Follette Takes Sides in Guberna. torial Contest. Madison, Wis, July 30—United States Senator La Tollette announced during the day that he will spend the month of August campaigning in be. half of Speaker lenroot's nomination as Republican candidate for governor, La Follette had appeared undecided about taking a hand between Lenroot and J. O. Davidsop until W. D. Connor, chairman of the Republican state cen- tral committee, came out as a candi- date for licutenant governor and took up Davidson’s canse. This La Follette seems to have construed as a move by Connor to displace La Follette as a party leader. wiLL Cuns, The Germans were the inventors of the first gun.

Guy Maltby, who has been employed as-chainman of the surveying crew on the Red Lake railroad, was quite severe- ly injured last Saturday near Nebish. Hhe was sitting on one of the low “dinky” logging cars, when one of the high ‘“dinkies’ crashed into the lower car with terrific force. The bumper of the high car passed over the bumper onthe other car, catch- ing both of Maltby’s feet be tween the heavy iron bars. One of Maltby’s ankles was turned, probably breaking some of the bones of the foot, and his other foot and ankle were badly bruised. He was brought to St. An- theny’s hospital, Saturday even- ing, where his injuries were at- tended to by a local physician. for some time to come. STOLYPIN'S SCHEME Unable to Reorganize Cabinet Along Proposed Lines, 8t. Petersburg, July 30.—New ob- stacles have been encountered by Pre- mier Stolypin in his efforts to secure the services in a reorganized cabinet of men of standing in Russia.outside of official life. The conditions laid down by M. Guchkoff and Prince Lvoff are understood to have been rejected and they have definitely refused to enter the ministry. This presages the practical shipwreck of the entire scheme, since without the participa- tion of the non-bureaucratic elements it would be difficult to convince even the conservatives and the liberals of the sincerity of the government's promises. Meanwhile M. Stolypin is energet- ically and continually trying to per- suade the country that his policy of “strong handed reform” does not in- volve reaction. He has announced in the provinces that the “pale” will be granted to zemstvo institutions and denies that the government intends to interfere with the legal electoral cam- paigns of the various parties, in virtue of which he has authorized the hold- ing of a national congress of Constitu- tional Democrats at Moscow. He has instructed the police of St. Petersburg not to interfere with the Jewish mem- bers of the outlawed parliament, who, under the law, when they ceased to enjoy the immunity entailed by their membership of parliament, forfeited the right to remain in the capital more than twenty-four hours. The Rech says that in spite of his advanced age M. Pobiedonosteff, for- merly procurator general of the holy synod, has the dominant influence over the emperor. saus, Pretender’s Rout Confirmed. Melilla, Morocco, July 30.—Tkhe rout of the pretender’s forces under Caid Azus is confirmed. Among the killed was a son of one of the prominent rebel chiefs. The sultan’s troops cap- tured the entire camp of the rebels, including their artillery. Peasants Fight Dragoons. Proskuroff, Russia, July 30.—Near the village of Chernipoff a detachment of dragoons sent to arrest two agl tators were met by a crowd of peas- ants armed with scythes, rakes and pitchforks. In the fighting which fol- lowed five peasants were killed and twelve dragoons were wounded, three of them fatally. _— MARKET QUOTATIONS, Minneapolis Wheat.

AN INHERITED SCROFULAY e Every one has a hereditary right to a pure blood supply, which insures a strong, healthy body ; but how many do we see who have inherited that greatest of all niisfortunes, Scrofula, and are struggling under a Ik acy of disease and suffering? Scrofula is a constitutional trouble handed down from parent to child, a curse from e5e1:e1'alion to generation as long as the scrofulous matter is allowed to remain in the family blood. As the very foundation of the blood is diseased we see this awful affliction manifested in many ways, such as enlarged glands or tumors about the neck, which often burst and become discharging ulcers, weak eyes, chronic Catarrh of the head, skin diseases, etc. This blighting disease being so firmly intrenched in the blood often attacks the bones, resulting in White Swelling, or hip disease, while a pallid, waxey appearance of the skin, loss of strength, and often lung affections show that the disease is entirely destroying the rich, nutritive qualities of the blood. There is but one way to cure Scrofula and that is to purify the blood and rid it of the germs of disease, and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GAs An Example of a Judicial Mind, At a dinner attended by a score of ‘well known lawyers recently the phrase “judicial mind” was defined by illus- tration as follows: “I have searched far and wide for a satisfactory defini- S Symptoms. i A physician was talking about his patient’s symptoms. “Young, strong people don’t give me enough symptoms when they are ill,” He will be unable to go about tlon of the inevitable query raised when Jjudicial nominations are in sight,” said one of the lawyers. “On a Mississippl river steamboat some time ago I ob- tained my only approximate answer. A southern colonel who employed the phrase ylelded to my request for a definition and explained that on a cer- tain occasion a legal light of Missis- sippl was traveling In a river steamer ‘when the boiler exploded. As the boat was passing the penitentiary at the time the force of the explosion deposit- ed the lawyer inside the walls of the establishment from which he had saved 80 many criminals. Being uninjured, as a clever lawyer would be under the clrcumstances, he applied to the ward- en for a release. The warden listenedl to the circumstances as he narrated them, but declined to release him, in- sisting that with the coming of prison- ! ers he had no concern, but for their departure he was responsible. He therefore compelled the lawyer to wait for a pardon from the governor. That is my notion of a judicial mind.”—New York Post. The Ball In Lawn Tennis. It is a curious fact that every book written on lawn tennis cautions the player to keep his eyes on the ball at the moment of striking it, yet there are very few expert players who do so. A rifle shot looks at his target, a bowler looks at the pins, and a billiard player generally looks at the object ball, not the cue ball. I have found it next to impossible to carry in my mind, while moving rapidly to play a flying ball, the exact height of the net, the direction of the lines of my opponent’s court and his position, so that it has become second nature with me and with most other players to look up in the direction that the ball is to go before it actually leaves the racket. It is principally be- cause the reverse of this is necessary he said, “but the middle aged and the aged give me too many. Thinking about their health all the time, study- ing their condition all the time, the aged and the middle aged discover a symptom In every muscle, in every or- gan, in every limb. Thus they confuse me. “The average sufferer of fifty or so will pour upon my head a deluge of symptoms like this: “‘Well, doctor, I'm miserable all over, feverish one minute, freezing the next. I've a gnawing pain in my hip and side and back and an all gone pensation in the stomach, with a shoot- ing, neuralgic headache over the left eye. Ihave a queer taste in my mouth, & dizziness when I stoop over and a dull ache up and down the right side, along with a kind of numbness. I cough a lot, my throat’s sore, and I've the earuche. Appetite’s fair, but not ‘what it should be. I have a feeling of | lassitude, and I'm very weak. These are only a few of my main symptoms. To proceed, etc.” "—Exchange. The Atmosphere. Even if it were possible for man to live without breathing air he could not exist on the earth if it were without an atmosphere. Plants derive carbon, the most Important element of their food, from the air, and without plants there could be no food for animals and there- fore no human beings. Water also comes from the atmosphere, but if there were no water there could be neither plants nor animals. If food and water could be supplied-in some other way the world would still be unhabit- able by plants and animals owing to the severity of the cold. Without an at- mosphere there would be no winds and consequently no waves or ocean- cur- rents. The sea—if we may suppose one to have been supplied by some un- known cause—would be a stagnant e hand to, but couldn’t make anything answer, and now I have decided to go up among the hills, where they say there’s a wonderful echo, to see if I can make that answer.” 1, uninkabitable by seaweed or fish. in golf that lawn tennis players have | 200 4 80 much trouble in mastering the old - = Scotch game.
