Granny Pease, who by the way has been a republican for the past forty-three years and who has been identified with state politics so far back that most of us do not remem- ber, has the following advice to give the party and party leaders: “Now that the republican party has learned to its sorrow that a nomination is not equivalent to an election, it must use the utmost care in the selection of its candidate for governor. He must be well and favorably known from one end of the state to the other.” Back to Minnesota, is what a great many who go to the Canadian northwest say—and then they come back. Have you read carefully the prem- ium list of the Beltrami county fair Everyone should read something to the association? it and bring fair. The Hendrum Review states the matter correctly when it says: “Halvor Steenerson says he don’t want to be governor, but prefers to remain a congressman. It looks as though someone like Steenerson will be necessary, however, to re- gain control of the state capitol.” With the Beltrami county fair but three weeks away, everybody should get busy and make it one of the very best. The farmers are busy pre- paring an exhibit for the occasion and the citizens of the city should place everything in readiness to en- tertain her visitors. DON'T. Don’t ask the editor to publish a list of wedding gifts. Don’t lug into a newspaper office a lot of old clippings and tell the editor, “here’s something to fill up with.” Better take him a cabbage, he can fill up with that better. Sitting at the end of a pew in church, don’t get up to admit others, just move along. Don’t kick a man when he’s down, unless you are absolutely sure he will never get up again. And then he will not need it. Don’t put lard on a man’s shoes when he’s going down hill. They are already greased for the occasion. Don’t pray with a hungry man until you have given him something to eat. Interviewing a Chinaman. T Temember one distinguished Chl- nase who gave the newspaper men & big surprise. We knew that he was a bhigh officer and that he had come to thia country on a mission of Impor- tance, but not one of us dreamed of petting from him more than & per funetory interview through one of his interpreters. Through a secretary we ceaveyed to the blg man our desire for aa interview. He talked with his sec- satary in Chinese for a few moments, amf then the secretary in halting Eng- Meh invited us to accompany him and ‘Ge ‘chiet o the officer’s sult. We flled i, dropped into the seats to which we ‘weze bowed by the statesman and ‘walted for somebody to begin. As we hesitated a pocullar smile It the big man's face. Lying back in his ehatr, he cocked one leg over the other, Mghtod a cigar and dropped a bomb by saying: “Fire away, boys; I'm ready. But before you begin who won the Doat race?’—Ban Franclsco Call.

FIFTEEN ARE KILLED Frame Hotel at Shelton, Wash., Destroyed by Fire. SEVEN BODIES RECOVERED Eight or Nine Persons Are Still Unac- counted For—Structure Was Three 8torles High, With Front and Back Stairs but No Elevator. Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 6.—Fire de- stroyed the Webb hotel at Shelton, twenty miles from Tacoma, during the night. It Is reported fifteen per- sons perished. Seven bodles have been recovered. The following are known to have perished: Miss Ivy May Bailey, cham- bermaid; Willlam Holmes, master me- chanic, Peninsular railway shops; Pearl F. Lanson, a boy driver for a butcher; Mrs. Gay of the hotel; Dan J. Hennessey, a logger. Eight or nine are still unaccounted for. The hotel was a three story frame with front and side stairs, but no ele vator. WITH SLIGHT AMENDMENT American Plan for an International Court Approved. The Hague, Sept. 6.—The examining committee, under the presidency of M. Bourgeols, has approved the Amer Ican proposition on the subject of the establishment of a permanent interna- tional high court of justice, with the exception of the paragraph referring to the allotment of the judges. Article 7 of the American project, which provided “that the high court yearly shall appoint three judges, with three substitutes, constituting a spe clal tribunal, which can, if necessary, try cases elsewhere than at The Hague,” has been changed so as to give the three judges the name of “special delegation” instead of “spe- clal tribunal,” while the whole court will be called the “court of arbitral Justice.” Joseph H. Choate of the American delegation urged the neces- sity for some such arrangement and suggested several solutions for the points in dispute. During the discussion Dr. Barbona, having misunderstood a statement made by Mr. Choate in the course of his speech, retorted rather energet- ically, but Mr. Choate explained that he did not mean to criticise the Bra- zilian project and the incident was closed. IN SERIOUS CONDITION. Woman Accused of Murder Continues Unconscious, Cleveland, Sept. 6.—Mrs. Charlotte Phillips, who s under official sur- velllance on the charge of murdering her husband, John J. Phillips, prom- Inent coal dealer, who was found dead at his home last Monday and who was supposed to have been killed by a burglar, is still in an unconsclous con- ditlon. The woman became uncon- sclous more than twenty-four hours ago, It is now belleved that Mrs. Phillips s under the influence of some power- ful drug and is in a dangerous condi- tion. The warrant for her arrest has not been served. A woman guardian has been at the bedside of Mrs. Philllps since the funeral of her late husband and an officer is on duty outside of the house. Chief of Police Stamberger called at the Phillips home and remained some time. When he came out he stated that Mrs. Phillips was still in a comatose condition. The chief also stated that he had discovered two or three new clues, but in support of ‘what theory he would not say. CAUSES IMMENSE LOSS. Strikers 8tart Destructive Blaze at Antwerp. Antwerp, Sept. 6.—The fire which was started in a lumber yard at mid- night by rioters, necessitating calling out troops to assist the firemen in fighting the flames, was still burning in the morning, threatening the de- struction of the lumber and warehouse district of the city. Help was sum- moned from Brussels and Ghent. ‘With the assistance of firemen from other citles the fire was under control at midday, but only after a desperate effort by the firemen, militia, police and citizens. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000. The maritime federation has reject- ed the labor minister's proposal to arbitrate the dispute between the dock laborers, porters and others and the shipping companies. Acoused of Disconnecting Wires. Chlcago, Sept. 6.—George 8. Bird- sell, a member of the Commercial Telegraphers’ unlon, has been arrest- ed on a state warrant charging him ‘with maliclously tampering with West- ern Union telegraph wires in the suburb of Mayfair Aug. 22. Birdsell admitted he had disconnected two of the company’s lines, but declared he had been instructed to do so by 8 wire chief of the Western Union Tele- graph company. & Japanese 8ealers Set Free. Beattle, Wash., Sept. 6.—The steam- ship Yucatan, which was to have brought thirty Japanese sealers from the schooners Kaiwe and Nitte Maru to this city for deportation, carrled the men to Unalaska instead. There they were set free under orders from Attorney General Bonaparte, “gtrong Even In Death.” There Is a characteristic story of an American woman formerly well koown In London that will bear re- peating, says a wrlter in London Truth. The lady is sald to have writ- ten the following letter to a royal personage: “Sir—My medical attendants have Just informed me that I am in a hope- | less condition, I should die happy did] T know that you would be represented at my funeral. I inclose a check for £1,000 to cover all-expenses. ‘The Remarkable Part. Ono day some Americans on a visit to Wales expressed a wish to see & certain old and historic church. The Incumbent wus only too pleased ‘to show them around, especially as he: be- lleved it would end in a donatlon befng glven to his purochial funds. He 18 as proud of the school as he is of the church and finished up by asking them In there also and inviting them to question the scholars. One of the party accepted the:invita- tion. “Can you tell me, little boy,” he sald to one lad, “who George Washington was?”’ “Iss, surr,” sald he; *Merrycan gen'ral.” “Quite right,” sald the American. “And can you tell me what George ‘Washington was remarkable for?’ “Iss, surr; he was remarkable ’cos 'e wass a 'Merrycan an’ told the trewth.” The American didn’t question fur- ther.—Cassell's Magazine. “he wass & The Tea Taster. ‘What are a tea taster’s dutles? He must distinguish the mixture of two blends; point out in each separate In- stance if the mixtures are of equal grades; he must know to a nicety the difference between a pure brand and an inferifor one; he must know the taste of every individual sort of tea— not an easy thing, when it is remem- bered that brands of tea are many and the blends are constautly belng re- blended. In ten years' time a tea taster cannot be decelved as to the his- tory or nationality of any tea in the world. He can prevent his firm from being deceived, for he has drunk tea with milk, cream, lemon, straight, served according to the peculiar wish of every nation. He is sent to China, Japan, Russia, India, to study the tea brew of each tea drinking nation— Boston Herald. e 13 As Japanese See It. It is sald the Japanese think our grown women most alarmingly over- grown, very shocking In thelr costume and quite dreadful as regards thelr teeth .and thelr feet—in a word, out- rageous. They consider the kimono preferable to western habiliments be- cause it so completely obliterates the lines of the figure. They teach girls to talk with thelr lips almost closed, con- cealing the teeth, and to walk with the feet parallel in tiny steps or even toe- Ing in.—Kansas City Journal. The Latest Hour. “What time Is it, my lad?” asked a traveler of a smail boy who was drlv- Ing a couple of cows home from the fields.” “Almost 12 o'clock, sir,” replied the boy. “I thought it was more.” “It’s never any more here,” returned the lad, in surprise. “It just begins at 1 again.”—Lustige Blatter. And the Boy Was Right. “If one quart of berries cost Tl cents, how much would three quarts cost?” asked a Brooklyn teacher in an oral test the other day. “They would cost you 22 cents,” promptly responded a little boy. “We have nothing less than 1 cent in our money, and the man would just make it 22 cents.”—New York Press. Yes, She Painted. Young Gotrox (admiring picture in parlor)—Does your sister paint, Mar- gle? Little Margie—Yes, sir; but she’s finished now, and as soon as she puts a little powder on she’ll be right down. ~Chicago News. When He Got Sense. Husband—Have you still the letters I wrote you before we were married? Wife—Yes. Why? Husband — Bring them here. I want to burn them. I am just making my will, and 1 am afraid that If any of my relations see those letters after I am dead they will think I was of unsound mind.—Lustige Blatter. Easy, but Heavy. “I suppose it was hard work to fol- low my argument?” said the lawyer. “No,” answered the judge; “it was easy to follow it, but It was difficult to keep awake until the destination was reached.” D Disappointed. “Tommy, you've got a new little brother. Aren’t you glad?”’ “A brother? I thought it would be a horse. Papa promised me one for such a long time.”—Louisville Courler- Journal. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little states- men and philosophers and divines.— Bmerson. The Old New England Sabbath. A description of the old New Eng- land Sabbath is calculated to make restless children of the present day and possibly some of thelr elders thankful they were not born two cen- turles ago. The Sabbath began Saturday after noon with the going down of the sun. Sunday morning a horn was loudly blowa to announce the hour of wor- .ship. Bervice began at 9 o'clock and lasted for eight hours, with an inter- mission of one hour for dinner and conversation. In the earliest days the congregation gat on rude benches, thelr seats being assigned them at town meeting. The service consisted of sev- eral parts, which are chronicled in an anclent dlary as follows: “Preliminary prayer or invocation; chapter of Bible read and expounded; psalm in meter, read out line by line by Deacon §.; long prayer on various matters, one hour and a half; sermon of 100 to 250 pages; at close of service, baptism; sinners put on trial, confessed before congregation. Minister O. bowed right and left, no person stirring till he had passed down and out of the meet- ing house.” A Thumb Shave. * ‘Pouce ou cuiller—thumb or spoon? says the barber, and I give a violent start.” The sallor, a little proud .of his French, looked about the room and smiled easily. Then he went on: “I knowed them barbers in the south of France wasn’t up to much. I knowed their ways was queer. But this spoon or thumb business was the limit. “‘Quest ce qu'il y—wot's that? says L. ‘Wot d’ye mean by thumb or spoon? “And then that Tarascon barber told me that in his country In shavin’ lantern jawed men like me it was customary to plumb out the cheeks so's the razor could get a holt by insertin’ a spoon or a thumb into the mouth and pressin’ from the inside. “I sald to go ahead and shave me without either spoon or thumb. He wouldn’t do It, though, so I chose the thumb. It loeked more hyglenic. By "gosh, I can taste that there thumb yet.”—Los Angeles Times, Caught the Policemen. All the countryside is laughing at an experience of the police at Lough Neagh, Ireland. An Intercounty cock- fight was arranged between birds from Londonderry and Antrim and was held on one of the islands in the lough. ‘The police got wind of it and arrived, as they usually do, late. All the availa- ble boats had been pressed Into use by the spectators, and the police, after trylng vainly to secure transportation to the island, determined to swim for it. Just as they arrived the bout ended, and every boat put off for the maln- land again. The police had a swim back for their pains, and when they reached the mainland they found that thelr clothing, over which they had neg- lected to leave a guard, had disappear- ed. They had a ten mile march in dripping underclothes to the nearest barracks, where they were put to bed until new uniforms could be procured. —Liverpool Mercury. Why They Are 8o Clean. “How Is it that French children are so tidy?” many foreigners In Paris In- quire. Because from the time they understand ‘an elementary sentence It 1s dinned Into them that It Is very wrong to run fast, to fall or to dirty thelr dresses In any way, and, above all, it is awful to muss thelr hair. An ordinary scene in the Bols is where two children arrive in their auto ac- companied by a nurse and a governess. They (the children) are dressed In light sllk dresses and wear long white gloves, They start to play ball. Every time the ball touches the ground, which happens once in awhile, the nurse rushes up and wipes every bit of sand very carefully off the ball before It 1s handed back to the children. Is it a wonder that their long gloves are clean?—New York Post. A Qeneral Utllity Nag. A certain stockbroker once went to a horsedealer and tried to pick up a gen- eral utility nag. He explalned that he was a volunteer and wanted a nice, quiet, good looking charger, which could be driven by his wife in a dog- cart and would not object on occasion to being hitched up to a lawn mower. The dealer listened to him with rapt attention and finally asked In dulcet tones, “Would you want him to walt at table at all, sir?”—Grand Magazine. A Superior Brand. Mrs. Jenkins—My little boy’s got the measles. Mrs. Tomkins—So has mine; he got it from the grocer’s children. Mrs. Jenkins (disdainfully)—Oh, my little boy got it from the clergyman’s children.—London Tit-Bits. f"-’i’t’?l‘l?’-’i’?’ 33333 3:3; Ch 2 Ly Bemld)l 4 ¥ A Special Patent Bemidji Flour ade Exclusively For The ‘Trade - w ief n an n ‘M n m ] » 3 n " " n n n n n n m " Never Touched Him. “I bate work,” sald Languld Lew!s, “I don't see why,” rejoined Humble Harry. “It's a safe bet dat work nev- er done youse no harm.” — Chicago News, Mount Morgan, Queensland, .Aus- ing mineral, MAKES - WORK EASIER g | Bemidji.
