In commenting on the election which will be held in this city to- morrow evening for the purpose of voting bonds for the purchase of a school site and the erection of a school building on the site, the Bemidji Sentinel concludes as fol- lows: “We are always ready to do our part, boasting Bemidji, but while we do not understand the motive in change of locating, that will show later. It is a safe proposition to vote ‘no.” We presume ‘“‘Colonel” Allen in- tended to say that he was always ready to do his part in “boosting” Bemidji, instead of “‘boasting,” but be that as it may, the “boost” con. tained in the article is certainly a “knock” on Bemidji people in gen- eral, when the writer admits that, while he doesn’t understand the matter, it is a safe proposition to vote no on general principles. If Mr. Allen, or any other person for that matter, will take the pains to visit the public schools of this city he or they will at once appre- ciate the crying need for just such a building as is proposed by the election tomorrow. And as to the site being“]’ust north’ of Smith’s lumber yard,” that inti- mation is misleading and malicious. The proposed site is three blocks north of Smith’s lumber yard, and considerably removed from “down near the business center” of the city. The Pioneer sincerely believes that itis a ‘“safe proposition” to vote yes on the question as to buy- ing the site. It is much needed, and we know of no better site that is available. The need of a new building is too well recognized to admit of successful denial. DUTY TO HOME DEALER. A Minneapolis paper, says The Pipestone Star, tells that- a farmer from this part of the state has made an urgent complaint to Governor Johnson about extortionate freight charges for bringing to him a pair of overshoes from a Chicago cata- logue house. In his letter the farmer tells the governor that although the cost of the overshoes was not over eighty-five cents, the package was billed as ten pounds of freight, and he was charged eighty cents for its transportation. Another complaint of similar char- acter has been received by the gov- ernor from a resident of another section, who says he was obliged to pay eighty-five cents chargeson a twenty-pound package from one of the Chicago catalogue houses. We are confident that Governor Johnson,speaking as an editor, would advise both of these complainants to patronize their home merchants in the future and thus avoid this sort of extortion. But as governor, if there is any law that will cover the matter, he will doubtless have to punish the offenders. . ALMSHOUSE IS BURNED. Two Patients Die of Fright After Their Escape. San Francisco, March 11.—One of the bulldings of the city and county slmshouse was burned. In it when the fire broke out were 141 persons, mostly patients recently remov~d from the city and county hospital. The almshouse is located near the Lake Honda reservolr of the Spring Valley ‘Water company. Three patients lost thelr lives. Two of these were old men, who died from fright. Edward Korn, who had just undergone an operation, died soon after being taken from the burning building. It was only by the most strenuous ‘work that the aged people were saved. The nurses and attendants formed brigades and carried most of the old people from the building, as many of them, on account of their extreme age and their minds being dulled, refused to leave their rooms. Granite Polishers’ Strike Ends. Quincy, Mass., March 11.—The strik- ing granite polishers who have been out since March 2 will return to work at once, an agreement having been reached at a meeting which lasted through fifteen hours. The terms of the settlement were not given out, although it was learned that the de- mands of the union men for the dis- continuence of the present open shop system had been given up. Night Riders Shoot Six and Whip a Number of Others, TAKE POSSESSION OF TOWN Mob Visits Birmingham, Ky., to Carry Out Threat to Punish Colored Resl- dents Who Had Not Left the Place When Warned. Padueah, Ky, March 11.—One hun- | dred masked night riders rode Into Birmingham, Marshall county, shot six negroes and whipped five others. The riders took possession of the town and shot into a negro cabin in the place. In one of these John Seruggs, his wife, three children and a grand- daughter were struck by bullets. Scruggs is probably fatally wounded. The riders then took five other ne- groes to the banks of the Tennessee, where they whipped them. After warning about twenty-five other ne- groes to leave the place the masked men rode away. The raid followed a warning of two weeks ago to all ne- groes to leave Birmingham. Later in the day it was reported that the two-year-old daughter of Scruggs had died from wounds re- celved by bullets from the night riders’ guns. The other members of the family are not expected to re- cover. NO VIOLENCE ATTEMPTED Night Riders Burn Tobacco at Brooks- ville, Ky. Brooksville, Ky. March 11.—Fifty or more night riders came into town in buggies and on horseback and be- fore they left 15,000 pounds of to- bacco belonging to Robert Stanton, one of the wealthiest planters in this section, had been burned. The men were heavily armed with shotguns and revolvers. A number of the men went to the local exchange of the Bracken County Telephone company and kept guard over the operator, Miss Holton, so that no word could be sent for assistance. The men attempted no violence nor did they destroy the warehouse, but took the tobacco outside and set it on fire. After seeing that it was all de- stroyed they departed as quietly as they came. They wore no masks, but are not known here. Alleged Night Rider Killed. Clarksville, Tenn., March 10.—Near Clarksville, Tenn., March 11.—Near Woodford, about fifteen miles from this city, Brown Bennett, a young man, the son of an association tobacco raiser, was found in the public road in a dying condition with a bullet hole through his head. Near Bennett were two dead horses and three empty shotguns. It is believed that young Bennett was a night rider and was shot down by parties whom he and his gang had attacked and that his comrades, in their haste to get away, had left him dying on the scene of the fight. JUST BEFORE OPENING HOUR Big School Building at Napoleon, O., Burned. Napoleon, O., March 11.—Napoleon’s union school, the largest building of the kind in the state, which was com- pletely remodeled only last April and had cost the county $110,000 alto- gether, has been destroyed by fire. A repetition of the Collinwood horror was possibly averted by only a quar- ter of an hour in the time of the start- ing of the fire, as the children were on their way to school and some were playing in the yard when it was discovered. At 9 o'clock, when the school pupils should have been in their seats, the main part of the build- ing was a mass of flames. Bight hundred pupils were enrolled in the school. The big building had fifty-four rooms, including two large playrooms and two engine rooms. 1t was recently rebuilt and was formally opened last April. SCORE OF FIREMEN INJURED Hundreds of Persons Driven From Homes by New York Fire. " New York, March 11—A score of firemen were injured, several of them seriously, hundreds of persons were driven from their homes and many buildings were threatened by a fire which destroyed the six-story brick building at 38 West Eighteenth street..

Hamlilton, Ont., March 11.—The fiy- ing trip of a young woman from To- ronto to Hamilton saved the lives of her mother, two sisters and a cousin. The young girl, who lives in To- ronto with a married sister, while the remainder of the family live in Ham- ilton, was awakened in the morning by a telephone bell. -~ “Hamilton wants you in a hurry,” was the message from central and in a moment she heard her mother’s voice, weak and almost inarticulate. “Oh! Esther, come to us quickly. We're all dying,” said the mother. “Annie is unconscious and both Bella and Jeanle are too sick to call the neighbors. Come as quick as you can. I can’t stand at the ’phone longer.” The girl dressed hurriedly and, with her sister's help, harnessed a horse and drove to the railroad station, ar- riving just in time to catch a train. An hour and a half from the time she received the message she reached her home in Hamilton and found the whole family unconscious from coal gas. She summoned physicians and the four were revived. The mother declares her whole ac- tion was carried out as though she ‘was in a dream. She had no thought of calling any person in Hamilton. WIPES OUT HIS FAMILY. Tenino (Wash.) Man Kills Four and Himself. Seattle, Wash,, March 11.—W. W. McKay of Tenino, Thurston county, killed his wife and three children and then shot himself. TELLS OF REGIPE FOR ALL CATARRH SUFFERERS Authority Here Predicts Much Suffering And Gives Advice to Relieve. The coming months will be a harvest for the doctors and patent medicine manufacturers unless great care is taken to keep the feet dry, also dress warmly. This advice should be heeded by all who are subject to rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles and especially catarrh. While the latter is considered by most sufferers an incurable disease, there are few men or women who will fail to experience great relief from the following simple home perscription, and if taken in time it will prevent an attack of catarrh during the entire season. Here is the prescription which any one can mix: Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half ounce, Com- pound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. The Compound Kargon in this prescription acts directly upon the eliminative tissues of the kidneys to make them filter and strain from the blood, the poisons that produce all forms of catarrhal affections. Relief is often felt even after the first few doses and it is seldom that the sufferer ever experiences a- return attack within the year. This perscription makes a splendid remedy for all forms of blood dis- orders and such symptoms as lame back, bladder weaknesses and rheu- matism pains are entirely dispelled. As this valuable, though simple, recipe comes from a thoroughly reli- able source, it should be heeded by every afflicted reader. -_— B f = WFE SEEkS DNORCE Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Dle:;rei Pers — HUSBAND OPPOSES ACTION Attorney for Mre, Wililam Thaw and Her Bon, Now Confined at Mattea: Wah, Discusses the Status of the Cage at the Precent Time. New York, March 11.—If the mar- rlage of Harry K, Thaw and Bveiyn Nesbit Thaw is nuilified 1t will bo be- oause efforts of the hushand to pre- vent it have been unsuccessful, ae- cording to a statement given out by Colonel Franklin Bartlett, couisel for Harry K. Thaw and Mrs, Willlam Thaw, The statement declares alse that there is no truth ia reports that detectives employed by Mrs. Willlam Thaw have had the younger Mrs, Thaw under survefllatice for months, Colonel Bartlett sald that no proseed- ings yet have been instituted looking toward a geparation of Harry K. Thaw and his wife, “The matter 1§ fn- choate,” saild Colonel Bartlett, when asked of possible proceedings looking to a severance of the marital tfes. “There is every disposition on the part of my clients to be absolutely fair and just toward Evelyn Thaw and to make liberal provision for her sup- port and even more than that. Harry K. Thaw has sought a reconciliation and has not desired that his wite should leave him, but she desires a permanent severance of the marital relations. Any thought of espionage upon the young Mrs. Thaw would be abhorrent to Mrs. William Thaw and has not at any time been entertained by her.” TRIAL OF PRIEST'S SLAYER Prosecution Begins the Introduction of Evidence. Denver, March 11.—The prosecution has begun the introduction of evi- dence in the case of Guiseppe Alia, charged with the murder of Father Leo Heinrichs. The jury i§ composed of business men, all non-Catholic, who have declared under examination that they are not opposed to hanging and would not be influenced by the fact that the murdered man was a priest. The first witness was Dr. Hugh L. Taylor, who assisted in the autopsy on the body of Father Leo. He said the cause of the priest’s death was a bullet wound in the heart. Dr. Edward F. Dean, who per- formed the autopsy, testified to the same effect. Coroner R. P. Rollins told of the inquest and produced the bullet which caused the death of Father Leo. During the entire morning session eight alienists watched Alia very closely. Alla sat most of the day with downcast eyes, but occasionally he would look at the jury or a wit- ness and with blinking eyes he would seem to be trying to make out what was going on. HITCHCOCK TRIAL BEGINS. Judge ' Denies Motion for Another Postponement. New York, March 11.—Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, was put on trial in the criminal branch of the supreme court before Justice Blanch- ard on an indictment growing out of charges preferred by a fifteen-year- old girl. The case had been assigned for trial several weeks ago, but there had been several postponements for various causes upon motion of the de- fense. An effort to have still another adjournment was made by Hitchcock's counsel, but Justice Blanchard over- ruled the motion and directed that the selection of a jury be commenced without delay. On orders from Justice Blanchard all the doors leading to the courtroom were closely guarded and only those having some direct interest in the case were permitted to enter. A big crowd had gathered in the corridors before the opening of court, but all were turned away. The work of se- lecting a jury proved to ve very tedi- ous, ARE FINALLY SUBDUED. Mutinous Convicts Make Break for Liberty at Pontiac, Il Pontiac, 111, March 11.—A desperate rush of 700 mutinous convicts for the || wall which stands between them and liberty took place at the state refor- matory here. The guards put up a stubborn fight and the ringleaders, all Chicago criminals, were herded into the top gallery. There, on a narrow platform forty feet from the main floor, they fought until finally_quelled. Half a dozen guards and as many prisoners were injured in the fight, Proof of a well outlined plot to overthrow the guards and ! free the 1,200 prisoners was discovered by the institution officials. An effort will be made to seek out the other‘ringlead- ers and prevent further plans from materializing. Wealthy Youth Ends His Life.
