SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM Says the Montevideo Commercial: “In nearly every instance where! we see the name of J. C. Jacobson mentioned for governor his candi- dacy is in some way linked with the name of R. C. Dunn with a hint of some alliances between the two to further the interests of both. If Jacobson were wise he would either drop Dunn or have these reports suppressed. The average Republi- can voter does not like Dunn. He is being held responsible for the demoralization of the Republican party in this state which resulted in twice electing a Democratic governor | and it ts safe to say that the man who steps upon the convention plat- form arm in arm with Bob Dunn]| will not be the next nominee of the Republican party for governor of Minnesota.” OBSERVATIONS. "By Doe."] A Chicago woman fell dead as she quit talking.” Well, she has nobody to blame but herself when she takes such chances. It is at least an interesting coin- cidence that a cold wave and a Fairbanks indorsement were reported from Indiana on the same day. [ We think that those five Panama policeman ought "to” be summoned before their trial board for not repell- ing the invasion of the Columbian army. Fifty-dollar hats, a jury has de- cided, are not a “necessary house- hold expense.” They are if Mrs. Jones next door has one—necessary for peace. The Duke of Abruzzi sent a thirty-word cipher dispatch to Miss Elkins. We hope old Grandpa Davis will send him at least a six- cipher one on his wedding day. UNEMPLOYED ASK AID. Two Hundred Thousand Philadel- phians Out of Work. Philadelphia, April .—The city council will be asked this week to ap- propriate not less than $50,000 to re- lieve the distress among the unem- ployed and their families, according to action taken at a meeting of unem- ployed. A committee was appointed to go before the council finance com- mittee and impress that body with the fact that more than 200,000 persons are out of work and that at least §50,- 000 is needed to prevent women and children from starving. Though Mayor Reyburn has an- nounced that he had issued a call for a meeting of the citizens’ permanent relief committee to consider the prob- lem of relieving distress delegates at the meeting expressed themselves as being of the opinion that the relief committee would not appropriate suffi- cient money to help the majority of unemployed. THAW DIVORCE CASE FILED Referee Appointed to Take Evidence in Sult. New York, April .—Counsel for Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has filed in the supreme court the suit for annulment of her marriage with Harry Kendall Thaw. The annulment is asked on the ground that Thaw was insane at the time of the marriage. Papers in the proceedings were served on Thaw sev- eral weeks ago. After receiving the papers Justice Hendricks appointed Robert E. Deyo a referee to take evidence in the an- nulment suit. In his order appointing the referee Justice Hendricks stipu- lated that the taking of testimony proceed within three days. Women and Children Parade. Bloomington, Til, April .—Women and children waving flags and banners paraded the streets of Bloomington, appealing to the voters to drive out the saloons. The procession was the final demonstration of a spectacular campaign for local option. There were many women and children in faded and ragged garments, said to be the wives and little ones of drunkards, in the long parade of 1,000 women and 8,000 children. Famous as a War Nurse. Des Moines, April —Upon the forty-first anniversary of her marriage Aunt Beckey Young, the first woman to offer herself as a nurse when the Civil war broke out and famous as a leader of the Red Cross nurses in the war, {8 dead, aged seventy-six, at her home here. Closed Plants Resume Work, Plainfield, Conn., April 7.—The Law- ton cotton mills here and cotton mills in other Western Connecticut towns, employing in all about 2,500 persons, are on full time after a long period of curtailment. At Naugatuck the boot and shoe department of the Goodyear Rubber Glove company and the re- claiming department of the United States Rubber company resumed op- erations after having been idle for some time. About 2,200 hands are affected. i FIREMEN SAVE. MANY New York Tenement Blaze En- dangers Scores of Lives, ONE DEAD; TWENTY INJURED Youthful Fire Fighter Rescues His Father, Mother and Six Brothers and Sisters From the Fourth Floor of the Burning Structure. New York, April .—One woman lost her lite, nearly a score of men and women were injured and as many more were rescued from death in the flames during a fire which destroyed the four-story tenement house at 470 Pearl street. The dead woman was Julia Isola, twenty-two years old, who lived with her father, brother and two sisters on the fourth floor of the building. She jumped from a window after her clothing had taken fire from the flames which swirled around the window where she and her family were waiting for aid. Almost before her body struck the stone pavement and was crushed into a shapeless mass the firemen had succeeded in raising an extension ladder to the window and the other members of the family were taken down in safety. While the rescue of the Isolas was in progress Michael Conway, a young fireman who was appointed to the de- partment only a few weeks ago, was making a valiant and, as it proved, successful effort to save his own fam- ily. Conway’s father, mother and six brothers and sisters lived on the top floor of the burning building. When he reached the house they were stand- ing by open windows shouting for help, while behind them the flames poured up the stairways and encir- cled the fire escapes at the rear. Lad- ders were quickly run up to the win- dows and a moment later Conway car- ried his mother down to the street. In several more trips the young fire- man brought his sisters to safety and then the father and brothers followed. The fire started in the lower hall- way of the building and swept up- ward with a rush that instantly cut off exit by the stairways. From the halls the flames spread quickly to the rear of the house, where the fire es- capes, are located, and many of the occupants of the house were forced to jump from second and third story windows before ladders could be erect- ed to save them. Nearly twenty per- sons were injured in this way, but none of them, with the exception of Miss Isola, was fatally hurt. The Forests. A true forest is not merely a store- house full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood and at the same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests or to plant new ones, you are acting the part of good citizens.—Roosevelt. KIDNEYS ARE FIRST TO WEAR OUT WITH AGE Says Few Persons Know What to do When the Kidneys are Weak and Sick. The great majority of men and women at the age of 50 years begin to feel the first signs of advancing age in some form of kidney trouble and bladder weakness. Few are entirely free from that torturous disease, rheumatism, which is not a disease in itself, but a symptom of deranged function of the kidneys which have become clogged and sluggish, failing in their duty of sifting and straining the poisonous waste matter, permitting it to re- main and decompose, setting about the joints and muscles, causing in- tense pain and suffering. The bladder, however, causes the old folks the most annoyance, es- pecially at night and at early morn- ing. A noted authority in a recent article stated that he has wonderful success with the old-time “vegetable treatment.” He states: “Of six- teen cases of bladder trouble and rheumatism which have been treated with this treatment only one very complicated case failed to fully yield to its remarkable influence. Itis the most harmless treatment I have ever found to clean the sys- tem of rheumatic poisons; remove irritation of the bladder and relieve urinary difficulties of the old people. It isa true vitalizing tonic to the entire system.” What he terms ‘“old vegetable treatment” consists of the following simple prescription, the ingredients which can be obtained from any good pharmacy at small cost: Com- pound Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and upon going to bed, also drink plenty of water. This prescription, though simple, is always effective in the disease and afflictions of the kidneys and bladder. Absolutely Pure The only haking powder made with Royal Grape Cream of Tartar No Alum, No Lime Phosphate Strike of Firemen Ties Up Plant. Livermore Falls, Me., April 7.— Work in the Otis paper and pulp mills of the International Paper company at Chisholm was almost entirely sus- pended because of a strike of the forty firemen. The strike was due to an order that the firemen should feed four instead of three doors each. Three hundred employes are idle and it is stated that if the firemen do not re- turn and their places are not filled the remaining 200 emploves will be thrown out of work. Secretary Taft at Omaha. Omaha, April 7.—Secretary Taft has arrived here. He was received at the TUnion station by General Gardner, commanding the department of the Missouri, and his entire staff in full dress uniform and by a local recep- tion committee. He held an informal reception on the station platform. Early Resumption Expected. Kansas City, April 7.—Southwestern coal operators’ and miners’ representa- tives met here to discuss a new wage scale affecting the 35,000 men now out. Leaders of both sides expressed confidence that an amicable settle- ment would be reached and the men would soon be at work again, probably within another week’s time. Preacher Would Boycott Church. New Haven, Conn., April 7.—Rev. Artemus J. Haynes, pastor of the Unit- ed Congregational church, advised workingmen to stay away from the new church built by E. H. Harriman. Although Dr. Haynes did not men- tion Harriman's name in his sermon he sald at its close that he meant Harriman. FINALLY ALLOWED TO ENTER Emma Goldman Held Up by Customs Officers at Boundary. Minneapolis, April 8.—Emma Gold- man, who was in this city last week, has since been in Winnipeg délivering a lecture. She had arranged to de- liver another lecture here this week and was returning over the Soo road. On raaching Noyes, the boundary line between Canada and the United States, Miss Goldnman was stopped by the United States immigration officer. After a delay of several hours Miss Goldman was allowed to proceed on her way. ‘Washington, April 8.—No informa- tion yet has been received at the department of commerce and labor concerning the reported detention of Emma Goldman at the international boundary, but it i3 admitted the state- ment may be accurate. It is known that the Goldman wo- man has been under surveillance for several months. Her every movement has been watched by government offi- cers. Months ago it was determined by the immigration authorities to ar- rest her on her return from Europe, but she evaded the officials and reached the United States surrepti- tiously. Recently she left Chicago and crossed the Canadian border. It is quite likely she has been detained by the immigration officials on their general instructions of several months ago. Status Quo on the Balti Copenhagen, April 8—Russia, Ger- many, Denmark and Sweden have agreed to the terms of a convention maintaining the status quo on the Bal- tic coasts, and the signing of the con- vention is expected without delay. Sweden and Denmark have expressed satisfaction with the terms finally agreed to, and the Swedish govern- ment is particularly well pleased to have the menace of Russian fortifica- tions of the Aland islands definitely disposed of. Death Sentence in Oklahoma. Tecumseh, Okla., April 8y—will Johnson, a negro boy who assaulted and killed Mrs. Mary Cuppy, an aged white woman, near Shawnee several weeks ago, was sentenced to be hanged. The court instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of guilty and the jury added the death penalty. This is the first legal death sentence to be assessed in Oklahoma since it be- came a state.

The British house of lords is a sur vival of the anclent aristocracy of the kingdom, which for a long time was supreme in all national matters. When the democratic sentiment won a place for itself in the shape of the house of commons the natural and apparently indestructible conservatism of the Brit- ish people held on to the house of lords as a check upon the commons and a perpetual reminder of the ancient insti- tution. The senate of the United States was the result of the compromise struck between the Nationalists and States’ Rights parties in the convention that formed the constitution. Some were for merging the representatives in a single body, while others insisted upon the second chamber (the senate) a8 a recognition of the political equality of the states. What He Got. He was addressing a lowly but intel- lgent audience somewhere in the vi- einity of Whitechapel, and he had se- lected for his discourse “Rhymes and Rhyming,” so that he might illustrate to those rough and rugged minds how the charms of poesy can brighten the poor man’s hearth. And, touching upon the difficulties of rhyming, he said: “It is easy enough, my friends, to get a rhyme for so simple a word as ‘sea,’ but what can you get for ‘bur- glary? " “Well, guv’nor,” exclaimed one of his hearers, “it all depends on the judge. My Bill got seven years!”—London Scraps. Caddies. The term “caddies.” or “cadies,” or “cawdies,” is akin to “cad” and “cadet” and means messengers or unattached male servants. Caddies, in fact, were originally a class of men found in ev- ery Scotch town of any size who were at the beck and call of everybody who wanted an odd job done; hence they were at the beck and call of everybody who was starting for a game of golf, and now they are employed solely by the golfer. A Philosopher. “Smiley says he hasn’t any luck at all” “Indeed! It’s something unusual for him to complain.” “Oh, he wasn’t complaining. He says he'd rather bave no luck than always have it bad.”—Exchange. A Memory Test. A professor of mnemonics had gone to lecture at or near Canterbury. Aft. er the lecture was finished he had to wait for his London train. It was a most comfortless day, and he retired to an inn for shelter and refreshment. To pass the time he began to exhibit his feats of memory to the yokels In the inn parlor, and one and all were thunderstruck except the waiter. There is always one skeptic in every com- munion, whether of saints or sinners. Do what he would he could not mitl- gate the acrid smile of acid incredulity of that glorified potman! In the midst of one of his most difficult feats the whistle sounded of the “Only train to London tonight!” and he rushed off to catch it. He caught it at the station, and his reputation caught it in the inn parlor, for the waiter, coming in with some ordered refreshments and find- ing him gone, pointed to the corner ‘where he had been sitting and exclaim- ed, “Silly ’'umbug, he’s forgot his um- brella!’—Young Man. Juvenile Natural History. “Papa,” sald Harry, infant phenom- enon, aged nine, “will you give me my pocket money in advance? I want to buy a book on moths.” “Certainly, my boy,” said the retired colonel. “Here’s a shilling for you. 1 am delighted that you should take such an interest in natural history.” That evening all the old colonel’s best friends came to dinner. “Now is my opportunity,” reflected the proud parent, “to show these peo- ple what a clever boy my son is. 1 shall have him in at dessert time!” So Harry came in with the pears and pineapple, and in loud tones the gal- lant colonel remarked: “Well, Harry, did you get your book on moths?” “Yes, papa,” answered his son.” “And what is it called?” pursued the delighted father. “Oh,” said the unsuspecting phenom. enon, “it is entitled ‘Hints to Young Moth-ers! ”—London Answers. An Eye Experiment. The two eyes really see two objects. If the two forefingers be held, one at the distance of one foot, the other two feet In front of the eyes, and the for- mer be looked at, two phantoms of- the latter will be observed, one on each side. If the latter figure be regarded. two phantoms of the nearest finger will be observed mounting guard, one on either side. —_—_— Answered. Two ministerial candidates named Adam and Low preached in a Scottish church, Mr. Low preached in the morning and took for his text, “Adam, where art thou?” He made a most excellent discourse, end the congregation was much edi- fied. In the evening Mr. Adam preach- ed and took for his text, “Lo, here 1 am!” Her Dear Friend. “Yes,” said she defiantly, “I admit that T kissed him.” “Did he put up much of a struggle?” inquired her best girl friend.—Louis- ville Courier-Journal. About the first thing that would strike a dead hero could he return to earth would be the great number who try to answer his name at roll call.— Atchison Globe. ssBromo Quinine®’ That is Laxative Bromo Quining USED' THE WORLD OVER TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.
