The Kansas militia has been ordered to camp in a place where there are no girls. Inthat camp the call to arms will have but the one significance. Woman is by nature a perse- cutor of the opposite sex; if she cannot worry some man she will call her little boy in and wash his face every half hour. Aloafer is not so bad; the loafer who not ouly shirks work but sits around and finds fault with the work of everybody else is the one that ought to be an- nihilated. For a good reference work there is no handier hook than the Webster’s Unabridged Diction- ary. During the past few years there have been a number of changes in words in the English language and a good many words added. These are all contained in the new up-to date diction- aries. The Beltrami County News ap pears this week in a new size, Editor Christenson having en- larged his paper from a eight- column folio to a six-column quarto. The paper is improved in many ways, and C. C. Chris- tenson, who uas had the sole management of the News since the death of the late C. R. Mar- tin, is to be congratulated on his success in getting out a good breezy weekly. We cannot let a day ge by without suggesting that the only way to build up a city is to keep money at home. The parable of the prodigal son is a case in point He took his boodle and went up into another country and spent it. And what became of him? Well, he was glad to feed with the swine before he could get back to the oid place where they patronized home industries. Therve is only one way and that is to keep your dollars at home working for you and not sending them out to feed the strange town.* ermisieiwiel el ARMY OF SLEUTHS AT WORK Colorado Millionaires Involved in Fed- eral Inquisition, Denver, May % .—The Rocky Moun- taln News says: That the federal inquisition now in progress in Denver involves some of the largest corporations in America and that indictments will be returned against men who are rated as multi- millionaires and captains of industry known as well in Wall street as in Colorado is the latest development in connection with the probing of the grand jury. No less than 120 secret service men now make their head- quarters in Denver, this small army of government sleuths having rented a large portfon of the fifth floor of an office building, from where they are spreading the net that is tightening about victims in high places. L. C. ‘Wheeler, In the service of the depart- ment of justice at Washington, is in charge of the secret service men and he expresses the belief that there will be some startling revelations in the near future.

Creditors, Most of Whom Are Mem- bers of the Church Organization. Chicago, May30.—On-.the -ground . that the estate of the late John Alex- | ander Dowie, now in the hands of Re-, ceiver John C. Hateley, is greatly de- teriorating in value in the present state of disorganization a petition has been prepared for presentation to Judge Landis asking for a decree granting the authority to the receiver to -sell the property without further | delay. . It is-said that it is a plan for the reorganization of Zion City and | may result in the complete overthrow of Voliva, who has assumed ecclesias- tical and temporary power over the church of Zion since the death of Dowie. Besides the petition for immediate sale of the Dowie property it is an- nounced that an injunction Wil be’ asked restralning Mrs. Jane Dowieq and the trustees, one of whom is John A. Lewis, named by Dowie in his will as his successor, from exercising any | rights in the property in the receiver’s hards other than the property at Mus- kegon, Mich., claimed by Mrs. Dowie. Trustee Leélvis said that no contest of the petition would be made by the; trustees, as it was understood that the aciion of the receivers was for the purpose of reorganizing the Zion prop- erty and Industries and would even- tually result in the restoration of peace among the Zion following. Trustee Lewis said that if the prop- erty is sold as proposed in the peti- tlon it will be bought up by creditors and most of the creditors are in the church organization. The ecreditors, it is said, have agreed to the reorgani- zation plan. OFFICERS GET WARNING. Ordered to Release Young Man Ar- rested at Boise. Boise, Ida., May 30.—There have' been suggestive developments in con- nection with the arrest of Carl H. Dun- can, the young man found disguised on the streets here.

Estimated Damage Done by Rats in a Single Year. ‘Washington, May 30.—The great de- struction wrought by rodents is point- ed out in a statement which has just been issued by the department of agri- culture on “methods of destroying rats.”. It declares that “an infallible method of extermination of these ro- dents would be worth more to the) people of the United States in a single decade- than the department of agri- culture has cost since its establish- ment.”. It says the brown rat is the worst. mammalian *pest in~ existence and adds: “If for each cow, horse, sheep and hog on the farms of the United States the farmers support one rat on grain the toll levied on the cereals by these rodents would reach the enormous to- tal of $100,000,000 a year. “Their prolificness is the chief ob- stacle of their extermination. Three litters of ten each are produced every vear, a single pair, breeding without check and without losses by death, in three years would be represented by ten generations and would number 20,155,392 individuals. The eleventh generation, due at the beginning of the fourth vear, would number more than 100,000,000.” Full Victory for the Men. Newark, N.

New York, May.2 .—Suit to compel the -€onsolidated -Gas company and the eight other companies doing busi- ness in this city to relinquish their franchises -and to take from them-all the permits to. use the streets which they now enjoy was begun in the su- preme court during the day by Cor- poration Counsel Ellison on behalf of the city. The actions begun by the corpora- tion counsel are against the Consoli- dated Gas company, the New York Mutual Gas Light company, the New Amsterdam Gas company, the Stand- ard Gas Light company and the fol- lowing subsidiary companies of the Consolidated . company: The New York, Manhattan, Metropolitan, Har- lem, Municipal ~and Knickerbocker Gas Light companies. The capital stock of the Consolidated company, ‘which - controls all the other com- panies, is $80,000,000. The suits are brought separately so that if the Con- solidated be declared illegal the sub- sidiary companies may be declared illegal also and their franchises de- clared nuil and void. 3 2 Anti-Consolidation Franchises. The Mutual, New Amsterdam and Standard are proceeded against sep- arately because their franchises orig- inally contained provisions prohibiting consolidation with any other company. “The corporation counsel alleges that all of the franchises originally grant- ed the gas companies, with two excep- tions, have expired by limitation and he moves to oust the companies from the usg of the streets and entirely cut off thé right of eminent domain or the use of public or private property for distributing gas to consumers. In commenting on the suits Mr. Elli- son said they were brought in fulfill- ment of a determination made several months ago to begin action as soon as the conditions of the present 80- cent gas litigation would permit. He believed then and he believes now, he said, that under the law the gas com- panies have no rights at all in the city. 4 g Mr. Ellison sald his suits will not interfere in any way with the action begun last week by Attorney General Jackson {o have the charter of the Consolidated Gas company annulled. —— DUST EAS COMPANIES| Stop it, then. a disease, a regular disease, and your own doctor will tell you the remedy.
