AN S AN ARANNNNNNNPNNARRNE SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM Hibbing Tribune: There is no more beautifully located city in the country than Bemidji and if the state is seeking a location for a sixth normal school it needs to seek no further. The Chicago mail crder houses have a representative to gather information from the local pa- pers and find if any lines of business are not well advertised; ! and then flood the surrounding country near such places, thus directing thelr special efforts to communities where merchants are not up to date in advertising, says the Ransom County Inde- pendent. There is but one con- clusion to arrive at; home mer- chauts must be very persistent in advertising, otherwise they must expect people to send away for all classes of goods. Judge L. G. Pendergast of Be- midji is said to be slated for cus todian of the state capitol, which will soon pass into the ccntrol of the governor’s hands. The old veteran has many friends in ths north country that would be pleased to see him secure recog nition for his late sacrifice.— Border Bndget. Certainly L G. Pendergast de.| serves much at the hands of Gov- | ernor Johunson. Durirg the cam- paign last fall, Judge Pendergast labored unceasiugly for Mr. Johnson and the entire demo- cratic ticket. IIe spent all of his time, and much of his money, | working for the success of his associates on the ticket. Mr. Pendergast is capable and com-! petent to fill any position within the gift of the governor; and his’ appointment would be hig!l gratifying to the people of the north half of the state, irrespec- tive of political faith. The story of a ccuntry mer. chant who met a farmer with a windmill pimp' in his wagen, which he had ‘purchased from a Chicago catalog house iz going the rounds of the press. The merchant chided the farmer for sending his money out of the commumty, and the following conversation took place: “I would have sold you a pump just as cheap right here at home, saved you the freight and you could have seen what you were tuying.” “Then why didn’t you tell me so,” replied the farmer “I've been reading our home paper for years and have never seen a line about your ‘handling windmill pumps and I’'m no for- tune teller, how am I to know what you've got and what price you can make on it? You have not even got a pump on display. The Chicago concern sent its ad- vertisement ta my house, telling me it had just what I wanted and that it could sell me a pump much lower than any local mer- chant could. It tcok the trouble to ask for my trade and got it. If you had taken the trouble to let me know that you could have sold me not only this pump but probably a lot of other stoff I've sent away for during the past seven years, I would have bought of you.”—Ex. Indians and war Paint. The Indians have a tradition that tells how the custom of painting their faces originated. A certain big chief while hunting deer was chased by a lon and fell exhausted, calling upon the Big Bear, which Indians belleve was the grandfather of man, to save him. The Big Bear heard and went to the man’s assistance, scratching his foot and sprinkling the blood over him. No animal will eat bear. or taste his blood, and when the lion smelled it he turned away. But in doing so he scratched some of the blood off the In- dlan’s face with his claw by accident. When he found himself unhurt, the Indlan was so thankful that he let the blood dry on his face. With the marks of the lion's claws this gave the effect of stripes, and ever afterward ‘when going on hunting expeditions for man or beast the Indian painted hils face In stripes as a charm against danger.

Radical Members of Russian ' Duma| Hopelessly at Odds. , | St. . Petersburg, March /13.—The| lower’{house of parliament reassem-! bled dYring the morning in sections| for the exantination of the credentials of memhers. Protests were submitted against the election of the ‘entire depu.: tatlons from Bessarabia, Poltava, Minsk, Mohileff, Novgorod, Voroneeh, Kazan, Kherson and the city of Kish- inev. 1 : The radical parties are hopelessly at odds regarding the manner of raising the question of amnesty. The Social- Ists persist in forcing it immediately to the front in the form of an open declaration to the people, which prac- tically would be an appeal for revolu-| tion. A caucus of the Social Revolu-/ tionists and members of the Peasant! league rejected this, as well as a proposition to make an appeal or de- mand to the emperor on the subject, and it was decided to introduce a reg- ular bill providing amnesty for polit- fcal prisoners. This undoubtedly is unconstitutional and ‘hence unaccept- able to the Constitutional Democrats, who are anxious to observe the forms of legality. The cabinet, in any event, will not regard the introduction ‘of any amnesty resolution as warranting the dissolution of parliament. The re- actionist campaign for the proroga- tion of parliament under any pretense 1s in full swing. The Novoe Vremya, which is in close touch with the so- called camarilla at Tsarskoe-Selo—the organization which s opposed to both Premier Stolypin and parliament—sig- nificantly declares that the house is a mere organizing center for the revo- lutionary movement and should be dispersed at the earliest possible mo- ment. HARGIS’ HOME FIRED INTO. Kentucky Judge’s Residence Target for Unknown Marksmen. Jackson, Ky., March 12.—Citizens of this city were startled out of their sleep at night by shooting such as has seldom been heard here. Two shots were fired into the home of Judge James Hargis, accused of complicity In connection with the assassination of James B. Marcum. Others were fired into the store of Hargls brothers, in which June Jett, brother of Curtis Jett, was sleeping, but he was unharmed. The home of Deputy Town Marshal Smith also was hit. The firing was continued for forty minutes. Efforts of the police were vain un- til they arrested Curtis Smith and placed him in jail on the charge that he was concerned in the shooting. Storm at Philadelphia. »Philadelphia, March 12—A heavy snow storm, which seems to have cen- tered along the New Jersey coast and Eastern Pennsylvania, visited this sec- tion. ‘Snow fell continuously for fif- teen hours to a depth of seven inches. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. S. J. Svejba of Montgomery, Minn., committed suicide by shooting in a St. Paul lodginghouse. Dr. G. A. Renz, assistant health commissioner, has been appointed health commissioner of St. Paul. The Pennsylvania state supreme court has affirmed the judgment of the superior court permitting the con- solidation of Pittsburg and Allegheny City. The plant of the St. Paul Foundry company has been damaged by fire to the extent of $10,000 and as a result 300 men will be out of employment for some time. The lower house of the Kansas leg- islature has adopted the senate 2-cent fare bill. It provides for 500, 1,000 and 2,000 mileage books, the 2,000 mileage books to be interchangeable.

All medical authorities are agreed that the blood is the great source f disease or of health in the human system. If the blood is pure, the individual is strong and healthy, if the blood is impur. or diseased then there is sickness or decay in the whole system. Rheumatism is strictly a blood disease. Itis caused by exces- sive uric acid. Sores, pimples, etc., mean bad blood. Catarrhal af- fections must be treated throvgh the blood to get - permanent re- sults. To get well, to feel strong, hearty and vigorous one must have good clean blocd and lots of it. You can’t cleaa the blood thoroughly unless the kidneys are made active. Bad blood means clogged, inactive kidneys and liver which causes, ton, such symptoms as backache, nervous- ness, bladder and urinary diffi- culties -and - other sympathetic troubles, Here is a simple home remedy and the prescription for making it up is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion one half ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilia three ounces. Shake well in a botile and take in tea- spoonful doses after, each meal and at bcdtime, The ingredients can be obtained at any good pre- scription pharmacy at small cost. Here the readers of this paper have a simple yet powerful and effective remedy for all forms of blood, ‘kiduey and bladder di- seases which should relicve rbeu- matism and catarrhal affections and replace the weak, worn-out indifforent feeling with strength, vigor and health. This prescription is consid- ered a fine system renovater and being made of vegetable extracts only is harmless aud anyone can mix it at home,. Try this anyway before investing in the secret un known concoctions of the patent medicine manufacturers. The Man With the Wooden Hat. A young Scotsman was shown into the office of a great engineer at Bir- mingham. He was wearing a hat of extraordinary shape, and at his nery- ousness at meeting the man of fame he let the hat slip. It fell with a hollow thud upon the floor. The engineer look- ed with astonishment at the thing. The owner picked it up and apologized for the nofse it had caused. It was of wood, he explained. He had made it himself, turning it with his father's lathe. The engineer thought that there must be something in & man who could think out and make such a thing as this. He forthwith engaged him, kept &n eye upon him and gave him work of responsibility. The engineer was Boulton; the new man, Willlam Mur- dock. The man with the wooden hat was sent away to Cornwall, and when he returned it was to light up his mas- ter’s premises with gas. The mind which first practically applied the coal gas to the purpose of lighting lived in- side that wooden hat—St. James’' Ga- zette. : Good Manners. A friend of yours and mine has very Justly defined good breeding to be “the result of much good sense, some good nature and a little self denfal for the sake of others, and with a view to ob- tain the same indulgence from them.” Taking this for granted—as I think it cannot be disputed—it is astonishing to me that anybody who has good sense and good nature can essentially fail in good breeding. As to the modes of it, indeed, they vary according to per- 8sons, places and clrcumstances and are only to be acquired by observation and experience, but the substance of it is everywhere and eternally the same. Good manners are to particular socle- tles what good morals are to soclety in general—their cement and security. And as laws are enacted to enforce good morals or at least to prevent the 11l effects of bad ones, so there are cer- tain rules of civility, universally im- plled and received, to enforce good manners and punish bad ones.—Ches- terfleld, Made For Fat Men. One of the narrow arches in the gal- lery of the chapel at Columbia univer- sity 1s not exactly symmetrical, al- though the defect is not noticeable. to the casual observer. The reason for the widening of the arch after its orig- inal construction had rise in a some- ‘what humorous occurrence. One of the early visitors was a remarkably fat man, who found himself wedged into the arch when he tried to squeeze through and was extricated with some difficulty. The builders, recognizing the possibility of other fat people be- ing numbered among the future' vis- itors, declded to widen the arch, sac- rificing symmetry and harmony to | practical need, as the pler was so con- structed as to bear no loss of width on one of Its sides.—New York Globe. Carlbou Horns. Not one out of every ten female carl- bou has horns. When they do have them, they are much smaller than ithose of the bull. The Yorns of the female have, however, in general many more branches than those of the hull, and they are much more regularly and finely formed. The cows carry their horns much longer than the bulls, They have been seen with their horns in the month of April. The old bulls shed their horns from the 10th to the last of November. They hardly ever carry them after the month of Novem- ber. The young bulls shed theirs from the first of December until the middle of February. The younger the animal the longer he retains his horns, Mountain of the 8acred Footprint. Adam’s peak, or Mount Samanala, a rugged mountain in the island of Cey- lon, is known throughout the orlent as the “Mountain of the Sacred Foot- print” In a flat, rocky basin at the foot of this mountain in stone as hard as blue granite there is the perfect im- print of a gigantic human foot, five and one-half feét long by two and one-half feet wide. The Ceylonese Brahmans have a legend to the effect that the im- print was made by Adam, our first par- ent, but the Buddhists declare that it could have been made by no one but Buddha, Water Needles. Bo penetrating is water at high pres- sure that only special qualities of cast iron will be tight against it. In the early days of the hydraulic jack it was no uncommon thing to see the water issulng like a fine needle through the metal, and the water needle would penetrate the unwary finger just as readily as a steel one. Cash or Credit. ‘Women should not get credit. Nei- ther should men. Cash is the cure. Tradesmen maybe would have a bad time for six or twelve months, and many a lady would have to “lie low,” but In the end we would get both our trade and our money, and she would get her dress and at far less cost.— London Opinion. The Vice Presidenoy. “It's sthrange about th’ vice prisi- dincy,” said Mr. Dooley. “Th’ prisi- dincy is th’ highest office in th’ gift iv th’ people. Th’ vice prisidincy is th’ nex’ highest an’ th’ lowest. It isn't a crime exactly. Ye can’t be sint to Jall f'r it, but it’s a kind iv a disgrace.” —“Dissertations by Mr. Dooley.” His Hope For Revenge.

The Rise In the River. * It is little short of astonishing to see how little water is required to float the southern river steamers, a boat loaded with perhaps a thousand bales of cotton slipping along contentedly where a boy could wade across the stream. Once, however, the" Chatta- hoochee got too low for even her light draft commerce, and at Gunboat phoals a steamer grounded. As the drinking water on board needed re- plenishing, a deck hand was sent ashore with a couple of water buckets. Just at this moment a northern traveler ap- proached the captaln of the boat, and asked him how long he thought they would have to stay there, “Oh, only until that man gets back with a bucket of water to pour into the river,” the captain replied. Pres- ently the deck hand returned, and the stale water from the cooler was emptled overboard. Instantly, to the amazement of the traveler, the boat began to move, “Well, if that doesn’t beat thunder!” he gasped. The fact was that the boat, touching the bottom, had acted as a dam, and there was soon backed up behind her enough water to lift her over the shoal and send her on down the stream.— Harper’'s Weekly. Like AIl the Rest. “I suppose.” said the curious old lady to the driver of the clty sprinkling cart, “that you only follow this busi- ness for the money there Is in 1t?” “Yes, madam,” said the driver of the cart; “I frankly confess I am out for the dust.”—Raltimore American _____ WE CLFAN SKIRTS Suits, Jackets, Party Gowns, Men's Suits, Over- coats, Gloves, Feathers, and in fact all kinds of wearing apparel.
