RELATIVE TO INCREASE IN_OLD VETS' PENSIONS. H. W. Bailey Receives Letier From Congressman Steenerson Offering Suggestions as to Prrcedure. H. W. Bailey, commander of the local G. A. R. post, has re- ceived the following communi- cation from Congressman Halvor Steenerson, which is self-ex- planatory: “House of Representatives U. S., Washington, D. C. February 12, 1907. Harrison W. Bailey, Bemidji. My DearR Sir:—Under the service pension bill, Act of Feb- ruary 6, 1907, eyery soldier over 62 years of age is entitled to $12 a month, if over 70 to $15 and if over 75 to $20.

Flora Mae Haven It seems rather odd to witness a performance of ‘“We Are King” without seeing Walker Whiteside in the dual role of king and vaga- bond. Lawrence Evart, who was with Mr. Whiteside for several years appeared at the opera house last evening in the leading role of the Whiteside satirical drama, gave a very creditable perfor- mance, He follows very closely the lines mapped out by Mr. Whiteside, and in voice and man- ner is like the latter. Heis a good looking chap, with a very pleasant stage presence, and no little dramatic ability. Flora Mae Haven, as the Princess Olivia, was with Mr. Whiteside last year. She is a handsome woman with a well modulated voice, and she makes a very attractive princess. The other members of the company are passable and the production, on the whole, was pleasing. The prologue has been cut out this year and the story opens in Kahnberg with the arrest of Gustavus Venner. The play was one of the very best ever seen in Bemidji, and the managers of the opera house are to be congratulated on secur- H. P.

DEFENDANT'S LAWYERS OPPOSE MOVE PRISONER WOULD PREFER SING » B H. P. BURROUGHS. SING AND DEATH CHAM- BER TO AN ASYLUM. New York, Feb. 16.—Close observers of the Thaw trial, which has been postponed for several days because of the death of a juror’s wife, believe the present trend of the trial as shown in the last two days is toward a commis- sion in lunacy to determine officially Harry Thaw’s condition of mind. This belief is suggested by District Attor- ney Jerome's apparent willingness to admit part of the will; by his readi- ness to withhold technical objections to the testimony of Thaw’s family physicians tending to throw light upon, the defendaut’s mental status and by his policy in admitting without oppo- sition the conversation between Thaw and Dr. Evans when the latter was examining the prisoner in the Tombs. . Counsel for Thaw have reached the oplnion that the trial may be ter- minated abruptly any day next week from this cause. So fully convinced entire city. —H, P. Burroughs. Dissolution of Partnership. Notice is hereby given tha If I am elected, I shall at all times endeavor to serve my con- stituents fairly and impartially, and for the best interests of the are they that Jerome will make this move that they are planning to fight him on this line. Thaw himself is credited with having declared that he would not face the asylum in prefer- ence to S8ing Sing and the death chamber, so it can be seen with what feeling this expected move of Mr. Jerome is creating in the camp of the defense. One of Thaw's lawyers, in speaking of the prebable plan for a lunacy com- t | mission, said: the partnership heretofore exist- Prosecution’s Object Apparent. ing by and between P.

The sheriff is beginning to feel better than when he left here, but has not improved as rapidly as he expected. How- ever he expects to leave in a few days for Pensacola, Florida, where he will visit with a brother before returning to Bemidji to resume his official duties. Would Prohibit Killing Big game.

GIVES SPLENDID ADVIGE AND PRESGRIPTION Simple Directions to Make Home Made Kidney Remedy and Overcome Bladder Weakness. To make up enough of the ‘‘vegetable treatment,” which is claimed to be relieving nearly every sufferer who uses it for backache, kidney complaint, sore weak bladder and rheu- matism; get from any good pre- scription pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon and three ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, ~ Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime, ) Those who have tried it claim that it acts gently but thorough- ly on the kidneys, relieving backache and bladder trouble and urinary difficulties almost instantly. Many cases of rheu- matism are known to have been relieved within a few days, the pain and swelling diminishing with each dose. A well-known local druggist, whois in a position to know, asserts that this prescription, wherever it becomes known, al- ways ruins the sale of the num- erous patent medicine rheuma- tism cures, skidney cures, etc. It is a prescription which the majority of patent medicine manufacturers, and even certain physicians dislike to see pub- lished. Few cases, indeed, which will fail to fully yield to its peculiarly soothing and healing influence. Being composed of common every-day vegetable in- gredients which can be gotten from any druggist, it makes up a good, honest and harmless; remedy and at small cost. A, W.

Death has again invaded Harry Thaw’s environment. Close on the passing of the wife of Joseph B. Bol- ton, one of the jurors, came the an- nourcement of the death in a hospital - | of Michael D. Downey, who for months had been Thaw's night keeper on the second tier of cells in the Tombs, .| which is known as “murderers’ row.” ‘When Harry Thaw first came to the Tombs Downey did not look with fa- vor on the new prisoner. But during the long watches of the night, when Thaw paced up and down the narrow confines of his cell, a warm friend- ship sprang up between the keeper and the prisoner. When Downey is buried a wreath bearing Thaw’s card will rest on the casket. Thaw sent .| the order for the flowers to Warden Flynn soon after he heard of the keeper’s death.
