It is estimated that $20,000,000 annually is spent in the Adirondacks by visitors in search of sport or pleasure. Yet, with its 10,000 lakes, its rivers and creeks, its woodland and prairie, and its forests, Minne- sota has many advantages which the Adirondacks do not offer or can- not surpass. In order to make its resorts better known the Minnesota Federation of Commercial Clubs has entered upon a campaign which it is expected, will result in the number of visitors to Minnesota resorts being greatly increased. An interesting descriptive story has been prepared describing the charac- teristics of the state, and will appear in May magazines having a com- bined circulation of over 1,000,000 copies. This will be followed by other work on similar lines, and it is confidently expected that it will contribute largely to increase the prosperity of the towns and people who derive an income directly or indirectly from contributing to the amusement or comfort of visitors during the vacation season. OBSERVATIONS. "By Doc."] Good evening. Is your assess- ment on straight? S It were far, far better to have a dyed egg than a dying chick yester- day. Sir Thomas Lipton’s fourth Sham- rock is ready for launching. Prob- ably Sir Thomas is in clover. We don’t wonder that a “Lim- burger cheese corner” proved too strong for that Wisconsin = specu- lator. After aglimpse at our formidable fleet, some nation with cash may think it unsafe to refuse to take the Phlllippines off our hands. The Washington Times declares that Bryan is in the fight to the bitter end. There is no question about the end being bitter if Mr. Bryan stays in the fight. It appears that there are some 511 streets in Chicago having practically duplicate names. Here isa new and good excuse for hus- bands wandering home in that “darkest hour” which preceeds the interview with wifey. SITUATION IN THE BALKANS Russian Foreign Minister Discusses Subject in Duma. St. Petersburg, April ..—Foreign Minister Iswolsky has delivered to the duma his long expected statement re- garding the Balkan situation. He said he was not able to chronicle any definite achievement toward the set- tlement of the Macedonian problem, but the loyal support of the Russian programme by Austria-Hungary, Ger- many, Italy and France and its par- tial approval by Great Britain was full of promise. Reforms in Macedonia were Imperatively necessary, he said. Unfortunately there had been no sub- stantial benefits from the previous ef- forts of the powers in this direction, due largely to the interracial quarrel- ing and jealousies of the very nation- alities it was desired to benefit. Any new programme would be impossible unless it was supported by the unani- mous co-operation of all the powers and Russia was obliged for this rea- son to reject the proposal advanced by Great Britain. The Russian plan, the forelgn minister continued, con- tained nelther egoistic designs nor dangerous innovations and it could be put into execution without danger of bringing on a confiict. In conclusion M. Iswolsky said that the cardinal principle of Russia’s present policy was a sound egoism. She needed peace to recuperate from the effects of the struggle with Japan and she therefore intended at ail cost to avold a breakup of the European concert. CUTS OFF ONE MINUTE. Mauretania Lowers Westbound Atlan- tic Recerd. New York, April .—By a remark- ably close margin of one minute the big Cunard liner Mauretania estab- lished a new record across the ocean over the long route in the voyage which ended here. Her time for the passage was 4 days, 23 hours, 50 min- utes. The fastest previous trip—ex- actly five days—was made by the Magretania’s sister ship, the Lusi- tania. The Mauretania's speed over the 2,889-mile coursé was 24.08 knots. On the last day of the trip she main- tained a speed of 26 knots for hours, but toward nightfall she ran into a strong gale and rough sea, which cut her speed down so that the pun for the day was 612 miles. | MINISTER ENDS LIFE Suicide Followed by Some Sensa- tional Developments. SEVERAL WOMEN INVOLVED Announcement of His Engagement to Wealthy Widow Brings Out Allega- tions of His Attentions to Other Members of the Fair Sex. Woodbury, N. J., April —This quiet little town was greatly shocked over the sensational suicide of the Rev. George W. Tomson, paslor of the Woodbury Presbyterian church, and the subsequent developments which involved the names of at least three women of this place. Mr. Tomson was found dead in the Newton hotel with a bullet in his brain. At first those who knew him would not be- lieve that he had died by his own hand, but the evidence to that effect was so strong that they at last had to admit that it was only too true. But the sensation caused by his suicide was as nothing compared with the conditions that were developed when the clergyman’s friends searched for a motive for his act. About a week ago public announce- ment was made of Mr. Tomson’s en- gagement to wed Mrs. Fannie Ken- worthy, a wealthy widow of this placs and a member of his church. Most people who knew them were greatly pleased and there was every prospect of a happy marriage. When the tragedy came it was learned that the preacher had been paying attention to another woman. This woman is alleged to have de clared in a meeting of Sunday school teachers that Mr. Tomson had prom- ised to marry her and she further de- clared that he would never marry Mrs. Kenworthy. She was not be- lieved by other members of the con- gregation and last Monday she left ‘Woodbury for Philadelphia, where she is employed. Many Stories in Circulation. Now that the clergyman is dead there are many stories coming out as to the life he led, but how many of them are true it is impossible to as- certain. Another woman, a widow, wha nursed Mr. Tomson’s wife in her last illness, told members of the congre- gation since the Sunday school meet- ing that the minister had been at- tentive to her. She said that he had given her a watch and other pres- ents. It is understood that Samuel Sneed, brother-in-law of Mrs. Kenworthy, had a stormy interview with Mr. Tomson some tlme ago. Several days there- after matters which Mr. Tomson and Mr. Sneed discussed came to a head and the engagement of Mr. Tomson was announced. Mr. Tomson came to Woodbury from Clayton, N. J., about ten years ago. He built up the congregation of the church until it became one of the largest and most prosperous in South Jersey. Mr. Tomson was married a number of years ago, but his wife died about a year and a half ago. Since then he has been living at the Newton hotel here, Mrs. Kenworthy was at her home here when the news of Mr. Tomson’s death was received by her. An effort ‘was made to learn from her when she had last seen Mr. Tomson, but she was too much overcome by the tragedy to be seen. Through a friend, how- ever, it was learned that there had been no rupture of the engagement between the minister and herself and that there had been no estrangement of any kind. LOCK CASHIER IN VAULT. Two Men Hold Up Bank at Chatau- qua, Kan. Cherryvale, Kan., April —Two men entered the Citizens’ State bank at Chatauqua, twenty-five miles west of Coffeyville, and after forcing Cash- ier C. C. Walterhouse and Del Easley, a business man, to enter the vault, locked them in and secured all the currency in sight, amounting to about $3,000, and escaped Into the Osage hills across the line in Oklahoma. Four posses are in pursuit and as the roads are muddy it is believed the robbers will be captured. The rob- Vers secured but half an hour’s start. Cashier Walterhouse had scarcely opened the bank and placed his cur- rency on the counter ready for the day’s business when the two robbers entered. The only other person in the place was Del Easley. The rob- bers, both of them well dressed, made thefr way leisurely to the cashier's window. One of them was a man well known about town and when he com- manded Walterhouse and Easley to throw up their hands the latter two took the matter in the light of a joke. The serious intentions of the robbers were realized a moment later, how- ever, when they both drew revolvers and, pointing them at their victims, ordered them to get into the vault. Without further ado Walterhouse and Fasley complied. The robbers quick- y slammed the door shut and then leisurely went about their business of looting the bank. Immense Flow »f Gas. Mansfield, O., April i ,—A gas well, the flow of which is estimated at 5,000,000 feet of gas and twenty-five barrele of oil a day, was struck on the. Seward farm, three miles west of here CLAIMS OF ANTI-BRYAN MEN Nebraskan Said to Be Seriously Con- cerned Over Outlook. Chicago, April 1.—William Jen- nings Bryan has become seriously concerned over the progress his op- ponents are making. His visit to Michigan has been undertaken in the hope that that state, which he sud- denly has learned he was in danger of losing, can be saved. His concili- atory position in Illinois is the result of fear that an uninstructed delega- tion might be sent from the Spring- fleld convention next wéek if he gave aid or encouragement to the oppo- nents of the state organization. He has lost New York. The Penn- sylvania delégation will be uninstruct- ed. New England, it is reported, will send uninstructed delegates. Senator Tillman of South Caroling will take an uninstructed delegation to Denver, according to statements he has made. Not one Atlantic coast state, anti- Bryan men say, will send a Bryan del- egate to the national convention. Ohjo presents a hard contest. Min- nesota is instructed for Governor Johnson. California, Oregon 'and Washington are claimed for Johnson and Mr. Bryan faces the probability that he will fall considerably short of the two-thirds necessary for nomina- tion. RIDDER CONTINUES FIGHT Hopes to Have Wood Pulp and Print Paper on Free List. ‘Washington, April :j)—That Her- man Ridder of New York, president of the American Newspaper Publishers’ association, has not abandoned his fight to have wood pulp and print pa- per placed on the free list is indi- cated by the fact that he conferred with Representative James E. Wat- son, the Republican “whip” of the house, on the subject. Mr. Watson told Mr. Ridder that personally he favored the proposal and suggested that Mr. Ridder make an effort to induce the Democratic sen- ators to agree that if a wood pulp and print paper bill reached the senate it should be permitted to pass without amendment. “If you can get such an agreement from the Democratic senators I think there will be little difficulty in putting a bill through the house admitting ‘wood pulp and print paper on the free list,” said Mr. Watson. Mr. Ridder announced his intentlon of taking up the matter with the Dem- ocratic senators. IF NOMINATED AT CHICAGO Secretary Taft Will Resign From the Cabinet. ‘Washington, April . 3.—Secretary of War William H. Taft will resign from the cabinet if he is nominated by the Republican convention in June. Oth- erwise he!will continue at the head of the department until the end of President Roosevelt’s term. Mr. Taft took occasion to deny a story printed in the East to the effect that he intended to retire from the cabinet at the close of the present session of congress in order to be un- restricted in the prosecution of his presidential canvass. Should the presidential nomination fall to the lot of the former Ohio judge it is believed that his successor would be chosen from the following: Robert Bacon, assistant secretary of state; Robert S. Oliver, assistant sec- retary of war; Beekman Winthrop, assistant secretary of the treasury, or Charles E. Magoon, provisional gov- ernor of Cuba. Each of these men possess qualifications for the port- folio which commend themselves to the president. SIXTY-TWO SUITS FILED. Railroads Accused of Violating Twen- ty-eight-Hour Law. Chicago, April . .—Sixty-two suits against eight railroads, charging vio- lation of the twenty-eight-hour law providing for the protection of cattle, sheep and hogs transported in cattle cars, were filed in the United States district court by District Attorney Sims. The railroads and the number of cases against each is as follows: Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, thirty; Chicago, Burlington and Quin- ¢y, nine; Chicago and Northwestern, eight; Illinois Central, seven; Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, four; Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe, two; Wa- bash, one; Chicago Great Western, one. In the cases filed fines aggregating $31,000 are possible and District’ At- torney Sims asserted that it was the intention of the government to de- mand a maximum penalty in every case. Bryan in New York S*ate. Rochester, N. Y., April - 3—When William J. Bryan stepped from the Southwestern limited at the New York Central station he was greeted with cheers and applause by a crowd of enthusiastic Democrats, who surged forward to grasp his hand. A detail of police kept the crowd back and en- abled the reception committee to take Mr. Bryan in charge. He posed for photographers on the steps of the car and was then taken to the Genesee Valley club, his headquarters while in this city. Great Lockout Practically Ends. Paris, April 7 ".—The lockout affect- ing a great number of masons, brick- layers and allied workmen, which be- gan April 4, has virtually ended. The men generally deserted the leaders of the movement and signed terms with the contractors, who have announced that work will be resumed April 21. STEAMER CAPSIZES. Seventeen Persons, Mostly Passengers, Perish. Gothenburg, Sweden, April 4. —Sev- enteen persons perished by the cap- sizing of the steamer Goetalef. They, for the most part, were passengers. The captain and crew of the schooner managed to swim ashore. Several hodies are still unrecovered. Senator Clapp Given War Bonnet. ‘Washington, April .). — Senator Clapp, chairman of the Indian com- mittee, was made the recipient in his committee room of an eagle war bon- net, with authority to wear it either on or off the reservation, and so he is now a chief of the Crows. Two Schoolboys Drownad. Lawrenceburg, Ind., April 3.—Gro- ver Spurgeon, aged twelve, and John Spurgeon, aged ten, were drowned in Newtown pond.on their way to school. The boys had constructed a raft, which capsized in ten feet of water. ALDRICH BILL KILLED House Committee Tables Measure by Unanimous Yote, NO REPORT WILL BE MADE Members Decide to Submit Brief Statement of Action Taken to the House Without Giving Reasons for the Conclusions Reached. ‘Washington, April —The house committee on banking and currency has voted unanimously to table the Aldrich currency bill, already passed by the senate. The discussion in committee was brief. The only point debated was as to whether or not the committee should make a formal report giving its reasons to the house for its un- favorable action and that the conclu sion was finally reached that no rea- sons should be given. Consequently the committee’s report will be a mere statement Of the action of the com:- mittee. Of the nineteen members of the committee thirteen were present at the meeting. They were Messrs. Prince (Ill.), McMorran (Mich.), Wal- do (N. Y.), Hayes (Cal), Durey (N. Y.), Lewis (Ga.), Pujo (La.), Glass (Va.), Gillespie (Tex.), Crowford (N. C.), McHenry (Pa.), Weeks (Mass.) and Chairman Fowler. Chairman Fowler and other mem- bers of the committee refused to be quoted as to the probable fate of the Vreeland bill, now before the commit- tee, but the opinion seemed to prevail that it would follow in the wake of the Aldrich bill. QUICKLY PASSES SENATE. Bill Regulating Injunctions Against State Offic-rs. ‘Washington, April 3}—A bill reg- ulating the granting by federal courts of temporary injunctions against state officers in the enforcement of state laws was considered by the senate. Senator Overman, in calling up the measure, explained that it prohibits the granting of such injunctions ex- cept by a majority of three judges, two at least of whom are required to be circuit and the third either a cir- cuit or a district judge. “As Justice Harlan recently said in his dissenting opinion in the case of Attorney General Young of Minne- sota,” said Mr. Overman, “we have come to a pretty pass when one fed- eral judge can enjoin any official of a state from the enforcement of a law passed by the legislature of the state.” Senator Burkett offered a substitute for the bill. Strong opposition was made by Mr. Heyburn of Idaho to the bill on the ground that in the Western part of the country the vast distances and small number of circuit and district judges would cause long delays and embarrass the proper enforcement of the law. The fact that the bill applies only to injunctions against the enforcement of state laws was made prominent by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, who declared it would not endanger proper enforcement of the law under present methods. J After a brief discussion the Burkett substitute was disagreed to and the bill as reported to the senate was passed. Another Message to Congress. ‘Washington, April °.—President Roosevelt has sent to congress a mes- sage asking an appropriation in order to discharge the obligation of the United States to the government of Sweden for the settlement of Samoan claims. The sum involved is only $375. wrwd 30 IroTeen WOMEN'S WOES, Bemidji Women Are Finding Relief at Last. It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must “keep up”, must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching back, or headache, dizzy spells, bear- ing-down pains; they must stoop over when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. J. C. Liters, living at 602 American Ave.,Bemidji, Minn,, says: “I am recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills in the hopes that some, suffer- ing from kidney trouble may derive benifit from my testimonial. For sometime I was feeling puite miser- able suffering from kidney complaint. I noticed that my kidneys were dis- ordered and at last decided to try Doan’s Kidney Pills. I have not used them regularly as directed, but nevertheless I have derived 'a great deal of benefit from their use. I feel much better and stronger, that tired, lanquid feeling having become a thing of the past. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Forester.

It is a well known fact among California wine men that most of the so-called “California Wines” sold throughout the east by the retail dealer, were either cheap imitations—*“California’ in name only—or else a highly adulterated m ¢ a little real California_ wine and a great deal of some inexpensive substitute. The wineries shipped the pure product to the whole- saler—in barrels. The wholesaler shipped to the retail dealer in_barrels and kegs, and the retail dealer sold to the public in his own bottles. Naturally, after all this handiing (and oftentime rank adulteration) the matchless quality and delicious flavor of the wine was seriously affected. It was on this account that we have adopted the plan of shipping direct from our “Winery to the Consumer.” " Under Our New Selling Method Absolute Pllritz IS Guaranteed Read Cur Offer Carefully.
