Minn., a8 second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM The present editor of the Crooks- ton Times, who is continually *“knocking” something or somebody, says of the Crookston pest house. “Yesterday’s Times stated thata stranger just arrived in the city had been found to have a serious case of diphtheria and had been taken to the city pest house for quarantine and treatment. As the city pest house, as everybody knows, is adjoin- ing the city dumping grounds, where manure, rotted fruit, cast off gar- ments and refuse of all kinds accum- ulate, the patient is assrued of pure atmosphere and salubrious environ- ment during his stay.” OBSERVATIONS. Even the innkeeper is sometimes out. The less some people are entitled to the more they get. | Troublemakers -are as as peacemakers are scarce. plentiful Few men care to be asgood or as bad as people think they are. How a woman hates the man who has a mortgage on her husband’s property! ‘The average man would rather pay $10 for a fishing outfit than $5 for pew rent.

Puryear was a mere stripling when the war began and put on his first long trousers as a wear- er of the Confederate gray. Neverthe- less, he fought llke a veteran. He lack- ed a veteran’s balance, for, although fearless, he had not the slightest judg- ment, a fact which, says Mr. Munson, the author of “Mosby’s Men,” Mosby once recognized with considerable hu- mor. All that Puryear knew about war was what he gathered In each mad rush through the ranks of the enemy, with his long black hair fiylng in the d and his revolver hot with action. e rode like a centaur, and no enemy ever existed that he would not engage, band tq hand, bip and thigh. After one of the most daring rushes Mosby sald to him: “Puryear, I am golng to make you a Heutenant for gallantry.” Puryear swept his plumed hat In a bow that was royal In its grace. “But,” continued Colonel Mosby, “I don't want you ever to command any of my men!” 8hark Worship In Hawall. The shark has been perhaps the most universally worshiped of all the Hawaiian animal gods. Strange as it may seem, the islanders formerly re- garded the shark as being the friend and protector of all those who pay him @Gevout attention. Each locallty along the coast of the main islands of the Hawallan group formerly had its pa- tron shark, whose name, place of sbode, history, etc, were all well known to his superstitious worshipers, The biggest and most celebrated of “these shark divinltles was a male, whose mouth was so large that he oould eestly swallow any other shark known to frequent those waters. Ac- eording to the Hawalian folklore sto- ries, the bulk of this “god of the sea” was 80 great that he could not pass through the narrowest channels which ®eparate the different Islands, bu apent his time swimming around the whole group and looking after the wel- fare of the people. The Pelican and Its Pouch. Among the curiosities of nature must be reckoned the pouch of the pelican, which serves equally well as a net with which to scoop up fish and as a bag to canvey food to Its young. When not in use the bird can contract its pouch so that it 1s barely discernible, but when it 18 fully distended 1t will hold two gallons of water. When the pelican 18 bunting for food It files slowly about i/¢wenty feet above the surface of the .. wrater, scanning its. depths for any sign of Its prey. As soon as a fish is seen there is a sudden folding of a palr of wings, . 8. downward plunge with the (#peed of an arrow head first Into the oea, the unerring marksman Teappear- ing in a ‘moment and floating on the ‘waves long enough to reveal a.glimpse . of a fish gliding down Its capacious fl:fi and to shake the water from its veled plumage. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER|. Entered the Ministry, - Mother Hen after her brood of nine had obtained a firm hold on life called them together to counsel them on the duty they owed to one another, but particularly on the duty the eight girls jowed to the one boy of her family, The Igirls were to be mindful of Willle's |rights, to call him shen a choice mor 1 was unearthed, to prevent him ‘from quarreling and to bring him back iwhen he wandered from the barnyard. One day during a sisterly quarrel brother disappeared. His sisters had seen the minister enter the farmhouse ‘on a visit, but thought nothing of it lmml they saw poor Willle meet his eath by an ax. Consternation ensued, and a councll Ens held to devise a way to meet the other hen and to break the news to er. ! “Cluck, cluck, cluckety, cluck, cluck,” |sald Mother Hen, breaking in on the council of the sisters. | “Cluckety, cluckety, cluck,” answer- ed the sisters in one voice, which trans- lated means, “Where is your brother?” 'and they answered, “The minister vis- ‘Ited the house, and brother got it in the neck.” Mother Hen was downcast, but she Iquickly recovered her composure and sald: . “Cluckety, cluckety, cluck; cluck, «cluck, cluckety,” which is: “I am sorry ‘for poor Willle. I rejoice, however, [that he has entered the ministry, for he would have made a poor layman.”— |New York Tribune. The Slow, Pottering Gordon Setter. Years ago the Gordon setter was )quite a favorite and much in use by sportsmen of this country. In later iyears, however, this really good dog 'was displaced in greater part by the pointer and English setter. The Gor- don, says Ed F. Haberleln in Dogdom, (s the largest and heaviest of all bird dogs, more clumsy and usually slow. {Where most hunting is done in wood- land and thickets and a slow working dog 18 needed so as not to get “lost” almost continually he fills the bill well —works close to gun, has good nose, 18 steady on point and if properly trained a very good retriever from land and water. The Gordon Is easily trained and retalns his training well, 18 also of good pleasant disposition and an ad- mirable companion. At this age, how- ever, when 8o very much stress 1s lald on speed and wide range, the Gordon 18 not “in it” because he s a slow, pottering dog as a rule. Boots With a Drawbaok. “An army officer in charge of a na- tive district in South Africa presented the Kaffir boy who acted as his particu- lar servant with a pair of strong, heav- lly nailed ammunition boots,” says Chums. “The boy was delighted with the gift and at once sat down and put the boots on. They were the first pair he ever had, and for several days afterward he strutted proudly about the camp in them. But a few days later he appear- ed as usual in bare feet, with the boots tled round his neck. * “Hellol” sald his master. “Why don’t you wear your boots? Are they too bmall for you?” “Oh, no, sah,” replled the Kaffir, “they plenty big. Berry nice boots, sah, but no good for walking or running. Make um fellah too much slow, sah. Keep boots now for wear in bed.” Origin of a Well Preserved Joke. Nasica, having called at the house of the poet Ennius, and the maldservant having told him, on his inquiring at the door, that Ennius was not at home, saw that she had said so by her master’s or- der and that he was really within, and when a few days afterward Ennius called at Nasica’s house and inquired for him at the gate Nasica cried out that he was not at home. “Whatl!” eays Ennius. “Do I not know your yolce? “You are an impudent fel- low,” rejoined Nasica. “When I In- quired for you, I belleved your servant when she told me that you were not at home, and will not you believe me when I tell you that I am not at home?"—Cicero's “De Oratore.” Classified. The geology class was sent out to collect specimens, and their teacher was to explain upon thelr return what the different specimens were. One of the boys for a joke brought in a plece bf brick. When the teacher came to examine what they had to offer he took up one specimen after another. “This,” sald he, “is quartz, this feldspar, this pandstone and this”—taking up the lece of brick and looking gravely at e boy who brought it—“thls is a plece of impudence.” Superstition and the Wedding Ring. When a wedding ring has worn 8o thin as to break, the superstitious be- Ll'al;e that either the husband or the e iwlll soon dle. This may be re- Al as an obvious superstition and rhaps accounts for the fact that wed- ng rings are now made so much cker and heavler than formerly.— rand Magazine. Freddy’s Fear.

Unlearned, but Wise. g *“I'm- after justice rather than law,” sald John Dudley, who for twenty-one years, from 1770 to 1791, was one of the most popular judges of New Hamp- shire, . He was unlearned (n the law, and his education was 8o defective that e could not write five consecutive sen- tences in correct' English, yet so ac- ceptably did he discharge his judiclal dutles that Chlef Justice Parsons of Massachusetts, one of the most learned of'lawyers, said of him, “We may smile at his law .and ridicule his. language, et Dudley, take him all In all, was the greatest and best judge I ever knew fn New Hampshire.” ‘The Strain of the Glass Houses. “The son of a glassblower ls rarely found ‘in the same employment,” said a speaker at a child labor conference. “I would rather send my boys straight to hell than send them by way of the glass house,” one glassblower Is quoted as saying. It appears that the charae- ter of the men is greatly affected by the extreme heat and consequent physical strain of the glass houses. The Original Organ Grinder. ‘When barrel organs, once the usual accompaniment of the magic lantern, came Into use a native of the province of Tende was one of the first who trav- eled about Burope with this Instru- ment. In his peregrinations he collect- ed money enough to enable him to pur- chase from the king of Sardinia the title of count of the country where he was born, for which probably in a time of war he dld not pay above 1,000 guineas. With the remainder of his money he purchased an estate suit- able to his rank and settled himself peaceably for the remainder of his days in his mansion. In the entrance hall of his dwelling he hung up his magle lantern and his organ facing the door, there to be carefully preserved tll they moldered to dust, and he or- dered by his will that any one of his descendants who should cause them to be removed should forfeit his inherit- ance and his patrimony revert to the next helr or in failure of a successor to the hospltal of Tende. Only a few years ago the organ and lantern were still to e seen carefully preserved.— Pearson’s Weekly. The Manchester Martyrs. Along in '67 or thereabouts some Irishmen tried to rescue a- bunch of Fenian prisoners in Manchester, and a police sergeant was shot and killed. The prisoners got away, which may have had something to do with the up- shot too. The government was natur- ally sore, and they managed to hang three of the rescue party without too much fine haired fuss as to whether they had anything to do with the shoot- ing or not. At that time Fenians and Nationallsts were at daggers drawn, and the church was heavy against the Fenians, of course, but they were all one, one In agony and shame over those Irish boys strung up in an Eng- lsh town. All thelr helplessness, all the bitterness of England’s might, Eng- land managed with those halters to drive festering deep afresh. Think of a town the size of Dublin turning out a funeral procession of 60,000 people, and think of how those 60,000 Irish were feeling when I tell you they were quiet—quiet In those streets where the lowest hovels had hung out their bits of gpen-twined black.—McClure’s Magazine. 8hop Without a Name. In the Devonshire town of-Modbury there is a butcher’s shop which has no name nor has it had one for the last 120 years. The reason affords a strik- ing {llustration of the superstitious na- ture of west country~folk. When this particular business was started, the owner for some reason or other did not have his name inscribed on the prem- Ises. Whether this fact had anything to do with the success of the business or not it would be difficult to say. Trade, however, was brisk, and the butcher duly retired, leaving the name- less shop to his son. The business has been handed down from father to son for more than 120 years, but none of those into whose occupation it has come would have his name put up on any consideration, fearing—as, in fact, the present owner does today—that such a procedure might break the spell of good fortune with which the busl- ness has been favored.—London Stand- ard. Those Who Tie Knots. Can any one tell why the landlubber in tying a cord around a package or anything else will always make a gran- ny knot Instead of a square not? We all do it in spite of thunder. To tle a reef knot or sallors knot requires thought and experience. Yet it is as easy as a granny knot. Never believe for & moment that sailors are the only people in the world who can tie knots. Go to an operating theater in some big hospital and take note of the skill with which surgeons and even nurses employ bandages and ligatures. Learn from them how to tle the clove hitch, the combined surgeon’s and reef knot, the Staffordshire knot, the common surgeon’s knot, the friction knot, Hen- sen’s knot, Talt's knot, etc.—New York Press. Carefully Selected. One of the most remarkable features of life In New South Wales is the transformation of criminals into hard- working citizens. Of the 80,000 set- tlers there in 1821, 20,000 were or had been convicts. It is said that on board an American liner a boastful Austra- lian asserted loudly and over and over again that “the men who settled Aus- tralia were a remarkably sensible lot.” “Yes,” sald an American quietly, “I have always understood that they were gent out by the very best judges.” Preparing For Dinner, One of the. residents of -the town of Idvor was noted for his parsimony. Let us call him Mr. Wiggles, There was an old major in Idvor who said to his valet one evening, “Go and tell the cook to get me ready a chop and a poached egg.” “Pardon me, major,” said the valet, “but have you forgotten that you are dining with Mr. Wiggles tonight?”. The major frownéd. “Yes,” he sald, “I had forgotten it. Tell the cook to make it two chops and two poached eggs.” Antony and Cleopatra.

The Hague, July 3 .—Great Britain and Germany have practically agreed on a proposition regarding the estab- lishment of an international prize court, under the terms of which the tribunal is made permanent and s to have fifteen judges. The United States, Japan and six of the big Eu- ropean powers will furnish one judge each., Latin-America will supply two and the remaining flve will be sent from other countries represented in the peace conference. It is understood further that if the American proposal regarding the es- tablishment of a permanent court of arbitration is adopted, and this seems most likely, the judges of the arbitra- tlon court will be also the judges of the prize court. The prize court is to include two admirals, to be ap- poiuted by the belligerents, but to be present in an advisory capacity only. This suggestion was made by Joseph H. Choate of the American delegation. There are still differences of opin- fon between Great Britain and Ger- many regarding the laws under which the prizo court will operate. ASKS TO BE LOCKED UP. Prominent Kenton (0.) Attorney Self- Confessed Forger. Kenton, 0., July 3 «~—Thomas Black, the most prominent lawyer in the city, a ‘leading Republican politician and mayor for two terms, is in jail on a charge of forgery. He gave himself up to the sheriff and asked to be placed behind the bars. Black ac- knowledges the forgery of papers in- volving the suia of $28,000. His op- erations extend, he says, over a period of nine years. Black was entrusted with the business of many eclients. One of his clients and a trusting friend was Dr. F. W. Sapp, a wealthy man of Columbus, who owns much property here. Black acted as the doctor's agent in Kenton and had ex- ecuted a large number of mortgages for him dating from May 30, 1899, to July 8 of this vear. It is stated that the forgeries were committed in con- nection with these mortgages. CONVENTION OF 'DENTISTS National Association in Session at Minneapolis.

BLACK HAND IS SUSPECTED Explosion of Bomb In Italian Grocery Store Belicved to Have Started Blaze Which Swept Through Six- Story Building. New York, July .—Shocking loss of human lifc and destruction of prop- erty were caused by fires in New York and its immediate vicinity in the twenty-four hours ending at 8 a. m: Twenty persons are dead and fifteen suffering from injurles as a result of the burning of the six-story double tenement in Chrystie street and the financial loss resulted from the de- struction of the Long Beach hotel at Long Beach, L. I, and ‘the Steeple Chage park and other property at Coney island. In addition the steam- ship Hamilton of the Old Dominion line came into port with part of her hold ablaze. The Hamilton was at her dock before any of the passengers knew there was a fire on board. The flames were extinguished after about $15,000 damage had been done. The explosion of a bomb, placed, the police helieve, by agents of the Black Hand in an Italian grocery store on Chrystie street, started the fire which swept through the teeming Italian tenement and destroyed the lives of a score of people and injured fifteen others. The noise of the explosion caused a panic in the densely popu- lated district. The police say that many perished in the flames, fearing to escape to the streots, where they believed death awaited them from the dreaded Black Hand. A second explosion from a kerosene tank followed and the whole lower floor was a mass of flames from blazing oil. Flames Cut Off All Escape. The fire shot up the stairways, cut- ting oft all escape from those in the bedrooms above. Many rushed to the fire escapes, which became clogged with frightened people. The house was filled with dense smoke and the flames, rushing up stairs, drove the half crazed people toward the roof. The flames killed many as they were about to be rescued from the roof, while others were overcome by smoke, There were many heroic rescues by firemen. The bodies of the dead were found in all manner of places. Four women were discovered dead in a-closet where they had rushed to hide from the flames, which found them out. The body of a woman was found lying over a child as though she had tried to pro- tect it from the flames. Five bodies were found crowded around one door- way on the top floor, showing that they had been struck down while try- ing to escape. The fire wave first struck Coney island and before it subsided Steeple Chase park, a score of hotels and many amusement attractions were in ruins and many persons were home- less. The next fire was the steamship fire. Then came the Chrystle street tenement disaster and next the Long Beach hotel was destroyed. The 800 guests were all in their beds when the flames were discovered, but all left the building in safety. BODY DUG UP AND BURNED Maryland Mob Not Satisfled With Lynching Negro. Crisfield, Md., July ¢)—Inflamed | with passion, which seemed to in- crease after the lynching of James Reed, the negro murderer of Police: man John H. Daugherty, the mob ‘which put the negro to death and bur- {ed his body in the swamp at the edge of this town returned to the spot later, dug up the body and, amid yells and curses, burned it, after riddling the corpse with bullets. e Hundreds of indignant citizens a gathering in the streets here excitedly discussing the affair and it is feared by many that a race war will ensue. The town authorities, in anticipa- tlen of further trouble, have placed a large numbeg of special officers on duty. Reed shot and wkilled Daugherty while the policeman was taking a companion of Reed'’s to jail. The ne- gro was afterwards captured in a sall- boat on Tangier sound by a party of men who pursued him in a powerboat. On reaching shore he was selzed by the mob, which had formed rapidly, and literally beaten and kicked to death. The body was then dragged to the scene of the murder and strung up to a telegraph pole. ‘While it was dangling in the air a number of the lynchers suggested the mobbing of the rest of the negroes in the town. Thereupon the houses of several colored families were invaded and the men members badly beaten. One Dead, Another Dying.
