KAISER. Entered In the postoffice at Bemidjl. Minn., as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM The policy of state develop- ment is the policy of real impor- tance in Minnesota. It over- shadows all others, The timbers out of which that policy is to be erected into a great structure of state prosperity arethe princi- pals of liberal advertising, A bureau of advertising is Minne- sota’s greatest need today. It is of more importance than all the finance, railroad, drainage, and all other committees of both houses of the legislature put to- gesher. Itisonly by advertis- ing, well planned, plentiful big- with-vigor advertising that Minnesota’s resources and op- portunities shall become known and attract more men and women to drain our swamps, till our fields, and discover our mines. Even we of northern Minnesota, where state development must be, but dimly perceive it.—Big Fork Compass. Imigration should be a large factor in the development of this north country. J. J. Opsahl, Beltrami county’s representative in the legislature, is chairman of the house committee on immi- gration and would undoubed welcome any suggestions con- cerning immigration legislation. — C. W. Higgins, formerly man- aging editor of the Pioneer, is now employed on the St. Paul Daily News, where heis in charge of the state legislative matter for the News Senator D. M. Gunn of Grand Rapids, who introduced the bill in the Senate providing for a state normal at Cass Lake, said that his idea in offering the bill was to remedy the difficulty school districts in this part of the state have in finding enough good teachers. “It is true,” said Senator Gunn, “that the Duluth normal is not far away, but St. Louis county is an empire in itself, and and can easily use all the teachers the Duluth school can turn out. Our section is another great em- pire, and we bave much trouble in finding teachers. The bill appropriates no mouney, butsim- -~ ply provides for the selection of a site which the village of Cass Lake will gladly furnish free of cost. The bill is substantially a copy of the bill which created the Duluth normal school.” Senator Gunn was a member of the house during two sessions when the fight for the Duluth school was on, and he helped the Duluth delegation then, he will probably call upon them now to reciprocate. And what is Be- midji going to do in the matter? Better ““get busy’’ fellow citizens. Every issue of this paper is an advertisement for the whole town. If the paper is bum, the whole town suffers in the estima- | tion of the outside world. Every citizen should feel that he has a personal interest in the local paper,When the public boycotts its home paper, itis but throwing bricks at itself.—Big Fork Com- Dass. We have often thought along the liue of the above, but could never say it quite so nicely as Brother Greeley. There is a world of truth in the statement relative to the local paper and it holds good in any community. The publication in every news- paper of the time tables of rail- roads going through that town or county is the aim of a bill which has been introduced in the legislature by Frank T. White of Elk River. His bill requires the publication, in each issue of all daily and weekly newspapers in the state, of tables showing the time of arrival and departure of all passenger trainsc and all freight trains receiving freight ab the place where the paper is published. The schedule must be mailed to the newspaper five days before it goes into effect. It must be set in six point type with the words ‘“time table’” in 24-point type and the railroad must pay the newspaper for such publication at the rate of 85 cents per folio. Since the scheme to trade mileage for advertising has been done away with, the railroads have so far failed to insert “‘ads.” in the papers of the state, ex- cept in a very few instances. It is no more than right that the public should be informed as to the time schedules of the rail- roads, and it is generally hoped that the bill introduced by Mr, White will become a law.

Vatican Would Compel Republic to Make New Convention. Paris, Jan. 18.—It is now possible to announce definitely that the ultra- montaines were victorious at the ses- slons of the French episcopacy in their determination to hold in suspense the main question of how worship shall de continued, a decision being arrived st not to form cultural associations under the law of 1901 and to at the same time ask for precise instructions from Rome. In the meantime the status quo will be maintained. The key to the Vatican’s position in the matter was revealed by Cardinal Coul- lie, archbishop of Lyons, who told the assembled ecclesiasts that a solution ‘would be contrary to the orders of the pope, who desired to compel the French government to make a new convention. According to an authenti- cated version of his remarks the car- dinal said: “We can congratulate ourselves on having already obtained important re- sults. The government has surren- dered on several points, namely, that the prosecutions of priests for not making declarations of their inten- tion to hold meetings have given mea- ger results. In some cases the priests were actually acquitted and the gov- ernment has been compelled to modify the law. We must not pronounce the word ‘settlement.’ There will be no solution until_the government turns to Rome.” Among the minor questions decided, in addition to the decision to deposit the church funds abroad in future out of the reach of the French govern- ment, were to transform the sem- inaries into superior theological schools and not to ordain any the- ological students until they have com- pleted their military service. CANAL CONTRAGT HELD UP SEVERAL POINTS TO BE DECIDED BEFORE ANY DEFINITE AC- - TION I8 TAKEN. ‘Washington, Jan. 18.—The following statement was issued by the isthmian canal commission during the day: “Chairman Shonts has announced that at a conference between the pres- ident, Secretary Root, Secretary Taft and himself with respect to the pend- ing contract for constructing the Pap- ama canal it was decided, first, that the lowest bid—that is of 6.76 per cent—was a percentage at which the government would be justified in plac- ing the contract. “The second point in the determina- tion of this matter is whether or not the persons making this bid—that is, Messrs. Oliver and Bangs—can qualify financially under the requirements; that is to say, whether they can show that they have or can control $5,000,- 000 available for this work; that is, $5,000,000 above liabilities, including the $2,000,000 which will be required to make the bond. “It was further decided that if their personal record and business standing are found, after investigation, to be all right, they ought to have the con- tract,” FOUGHT IN SCHOOLHOUSE. Young Lady Teacher Dead and Young Man Dying. Eldorado, Kan., Jan. 18.—The dead body of Miss Mary Glass, a young schoolteacher, with her throat cut from ear to ear, was found in the schoolhouse at Fairview, near here. Later Robert Hall, with his throat cut, admitted at his home at Fairview, where he is believed to be dying, that he and Miss Glass had quarreled. He declared that she attacked him and cut his throat. When asked who cut Miss Glass’ throat Hall refused. to re- ply. Hall was barely able to speak because of the loss of blood. At the schoolhouse there were evidences of a struggle. FINED EIGHTEEN THOUSAND. Concerns Cgnvicted of Monopolizing Licorice Paste Trade. New York, Jan. 18—The Forbes & MacAndrews company of this city was fined $10,000 and the J. S. Young com- pany of Baltimore $8,000 by Judge Hough in the United States circuit court for combining to monopolize the trade in lcorice paste. A stay of sixty days in the execution of the fines was granted, but a motion for a new trlal was denied. Kills Two and Suicides. Columbus, O., Jan. 18.—Alec Bal- lanec, a Hungarian miner, killed his wife and daughter, Pearl, aged six- teen years, and then committed sul- cide at Barton, in Belmont county. The family had been quarreling over the receipt by the husband of some several thousands of dollars from an estate in Hungary. Killed Mother and Chlldren. ‘Washington, Pa., Jan. 18.—Elmer Dempster, the nineteen-year-old negro who was convicted of killing Mrs. James Pearce and her three children on July 29 last at Canonsburg, Pa., was hanged in the jailyard here. Ac- cording to Dempster his only motive for the murder was robbery. Tled Up for Ten Days. St. Paul, Jan. 18.—After being de- ‘ayed for ten days in Montana and North Dakota Great Northern train No. 4, from Seattle, finally arrived in St. Paul at 12:40. p. m. The coaches were literally covered with ice and snow and the train crew showed the results of days of unceasing toil. Oil Company WIll Contest. Manila, Jan. 18.—The insular gov- ernment demands payment of the Standard Oil company of $19,614 in gold, duty upon ofl brought into the Philippine islands prior to 1901 upon which the proper tax was not paid. ;l‘he Standard Oil company will con- est.

London, Jan. 18—A dispatch from Holland Bay says that the first earth- quake shock at Kingston, which oc- curred at 8:35 p. m. Jan. 14, did all the damage, the subsequent lesser shocks having. little effect. Fires spread in three directions, fanned by & strong wind, and the firemen were handicapped owing to‘the absence of water. The dispatch, after ‘confirming ‘the reports that hundreds were ‘killed, burned to death or injured, -says ‘that Bt least from thirty to forty persons were killed ‘as'a result of the collapse of the Myrtle Bank hotel. The devas- tated region, the dispatch continues, stretches from the wharves in the southern part of :the city to the race course in the north, to the customs- house In the west and to Fleet sfreet in the east, .containing all the rin- cipal stores, banks and government offices, all of which were wrecked, most of them being leveled to the ground. The reports received here from St. Thomas direct estimate the casualties at Kingston at about 1,000 killed, say that some 9,000 persons are homeless and place the damage done at $10,000,- 000. Concerning the latter, while the fire insurance companies here repu- diate all liability under the earth- quake clause in their policies, the ma- rine insurance socleties are likely to be pretty hard sufferers, the risk of fire to merchandise, wharves and warehouses having been largely car- rled by these companies of recent years and their policies do not appear to include a clause exempting them from the results of earthquakes. N0 WATER TO FIGHT FIRE CHANGE IN DIRECTION OF WIND SAVED A PORTION OF THE CITY OF KINGSTON. New York, Jan. 18.—According to the latest advices received here from Kingston, Jamalica, the earthquake of Jan. 14 destroyed or damaged prac- tically every building In the city. Near- ly the entire business section was ruined by the quakes or by fire. ‘When the first great shock came many buildings all over the town col- lapsed, burying hundreds of persons in the debris. Of these some were killed, but the greater number were injured and these later were rescued. The first shock was followed by lighter tremors and then fire started in the ruins along the water front. The flames spread rapidly, as the water pipes had been broken and there was nothing with which to fight the flames. A strong wind was blowing and this L CURES SORE THRDAT Tl 0wl Drug Store, Bemldu, Minn. Telped to spread the flames: The fire raged until an early lmur Tuesday morning, when luckily the wind changed and the fire, having nothing further to feed onm, burned itself out. All the buildings along Duke, Port Royal, King and East streets were wiped out by the flames. The advices received here indicate that order was soon restored in the clty, so that the work of rescue could be begun. The two regiments of sol- diers stationed in the city were called on to do police duty and they seem to have performed this duty well. The banks and other places where valuable property is stored were quickly guard- ed. There have been some reports of looting, but late advices say this was confined chiefly to petty thievery and even this was speedily suppressed. Hospitals Soon Overcrowded. The rescue work was-undertaken under the direction of the soldiery and the municipal authorities. The gen- eral hospital, which was not seriously damaged by the earthquake, was soon filled with hundreds of the injured, as were several temporary hospitals. ‘When these places were filled others of the injured were taken out te boats in the harbor. Hotels, banks, churches and office buildings are, without exception, lev- eled in' wreck and ruin. The treasury was damaged, but is still standing. The city prison was destroyed, but none of the prisoners was injured and none escaped. The Port Royal bat- | have donemore than all else to make it a tery was wrecked and two artillery- | staple article of trade and commerce over men there were killed. The people had a premonition of ! the coming disaster in the shape of a ' violent wind storm. Their fears were roused and many rushed from their | homes. This undoubtedly saved many lives, as the people were still in the streets when the earthquake came. This is especially true of the whites and accounts for the small loss of life smong them. The loss of life was largest in the poorer sections of the clty, so that most of the victims are ‘negroes. It 15 stated that there is no imme- diate danger of a serious food famine. Fruit is plentiful and surrounding | towns have begun to send in food. The work of burying the dead was begun immediately, a necessary pro- ceeding in a tropical country. Many bodies have been buried without iden- tification. Scores of bodies are still in the ruins and from a sanitary point of view this causes alarm. Efforts to re- cover the bodies are going on all the time. Cautious. Jacks — Townley is an exceedingly cautious man, don’t you think? Johns —Cautlous! Why, he wouldn’t pay a compliment without getting a receipt for it. lcy Streets ‘Cause Two Deaths. Pittsburg, Jan.- 18—Two fatalities occurred during the morning as a re- sult of the icy streets. John 3. Ma- kin, a messenger, fell on the ice in front of a shifting engine and was instantly killed. Andrew Matzko, a freight handler, slipped while carry- ing a box, which fell on him. He died a short time later. FRIEND TO FRIEND The personal recommendations of peo ple who have been cured of coughs and colds by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a large part of the civilized world.
