Granite Falls Tribune: Impelled by the impetus of the prohibition tide rising over the U.S., county option will play its part in the coming gubernatorial countest. Its supporters justify it solely on the theory of “if the end is good, then the means are fair.” Their funda- mental axiom is, “all alchoholic drinks should be abolished.” The plan is new and before you commit yourself to it you will do well to consider whether it is safe to allow one prohibition town’s majority to regulate the habits and temperment of another when the liquor trafic is largely tavored. It is hard to en- force a law against the tasks of a majority. It breeds disrespect and even crime. Still, a trial may be the most equitable solution, so'let it come. OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc”] Men dress to please the women and women dress to displease other women. So many of us say “Not at home” to belief and give a house party to doubt right along. Too many of us say we have sensitive disposition, when the truth is we have fool tembers. Character is like teeth; it can be lost and replaced; but reputation is like hair: once gone, gone forever. A broken heart may be unpleasant, but indigestion or a tight shoe can spoil the day for a man a good deal quicker. The constant drop of water wears away the hardest stone, but a husky man with a sledge hammer cin clear the way quicker. Tennyson's: Cynicism. Bir Vere de Vere was the eldest son of Sir Aubrey de Vere, the sonneteer and friend of Wordsworth. His broth- er, Aubrey de Vere, was a more than well known, a famous poet, and to him in his youth Walter Savage Lan- dor addressed the exhortation: Make thy proud name still prouder for thy sons. ‘He had no sons, however, never hav- ing married. Neither had his brothers, Vere and Stephen. Thus the name, as a family name, disappears. The De Veres were early friends of Tennyson’s, and it was from them that the poet took the name ihich he made proverbial and symbolical of a class—“the caste of Vere de Vere.” Lady de Vere, the only Lady de Vere of fact then living, was inclined to complain that her name should be be- stowed upon the black hearted Lady Clara of fiction. Tennyson wrote dainty verses, but ‘was not master of dainty manners. He growled: “Why should you care? But,| of course you don’t. I didn't make your namesake ugly, and I didn't make her stupid. I only made her wicked.” Up Two Stumps. Little Johnny was in the habit of wanting ‘more victuals put upon his plate than he counld eat. His papa de- clded to break him of the habit. One day as Johnny insisted upon being served until his plate was well filled his papa said, “Johnny, if I give you this you will have to eat every bit of 1t or I will punish you.” Johnny prom- ised that he would, and bravely did the little fellow try to do so, but in vain. It was too much for him. He would try again and again and then look sorrowfully at his papa. Finally, laying down his fork, he said: “Papa, if you was me which would you rather do, get a licking or bust?” BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

The boy had been kicked on the head by a colt Wwhile at work on the farm. Story of a Foot Race. A voluble negro who was discovered pacing a fast heat across the' Tenth street viaduct the other night explain- ed his haste to the policeman who ar- rested him. He explained that he had been to a swell dance and had paid the sum of $2.50 for the rent of the startlingly correct attire in which he was clad. During the progress of the dance a short yellow man had repeatedly bump- ed against him in a most offensive manuer. He related the story with dignity and unction. “Thish yere yellow unigger, he kep' a-bumpin’ inter me till I ses to him, 1 ses, ‘T'll see you after this dance out- side,” I ses to him. “He ses, ‘Very well, suh; I'll see you after this dance. “I didn’t like the looks of him no- how, and when we gits outside he pulls a big razzer, and he ses, ‘I’ll ca’ve you,” he ses, jes' that er-way. “I thinks of that suit ¥ pays $2.50 fer, and I gethers up all the rabbit they is in me, and I starts to runnin’, and 1 runs fast. I runs like a jack rabbit ountell I gits to the vi'duc’, and a big police he hollers to me: “‘Hey, there) he hollers. you-all gwine so fas’? “‘I's jis’ a-runnin’ to ketch a cyar, I hollers back. But he grabs me, and “Whar he ses *‘Ketch a car, nigger! Why, youse passed four cars a'ready!”—Omaha World-Herald. Rarest of Trades. “Mine is the rarest of all trades,” said an Englishman. “I am a maker of instruments of torture. I suppose that at this moment in Siam and China yellow men are bleeding and howling in the clutch of machines of my make.” He lighted his pipe. “Pleasant thought, eh? But we must make our living somehow. In Birmingham mine’s made. There for seventeen years I have been turning out racks, hair and nail drawers, thumbscrews, skinners, needle beds, searing irons, bone break- ers and what not. “Siam and China have bought their instruments of torture from Birming- ham for generations. Some of these contrivances are very costly and in- genious. There’s a water dropper which works by clockwork that costs $500. There's a— But that’s too terri- ble to talk about. The Chinese instru- ments, by the way, are a million times crueler than the Siamese.”—New York Press. Sanson and Louis XVI. Three letters written by Sanson, the executioner of the “terror,” are printed In the Paris Gaulois. Qne of the most interesting of them is short enough to be quoted in full: “Citizen—I have just learnt that the rumour is current that I am selling or causing to be sold locks of the hair of Louis Capet. If any have in fact been sold, this abominable trade can only have been carried on by impostors. The truth is that I have not allowed any one in my house to carry away even the smallest relic.” Sanson, it appears, had in his private capacity much sympathy with the king whose head it was his duty in his professional capacity to cut off. In another letter he attributes the courage with which he met his death to the firmness of his religious principles, and when he himself died in 1806 he bequeathed money to pay for masses for his victim's soul. Evolution. In the days when the higher educa- tion of women provoked more discus- slon than it does at the present time a number of Cambridge university men, among them Arthur Clement Hilton, who was born a wit and died a clergy- man, were discussing the establish- ment of women’s colleges. Hilton, says his biographer, Sir Robert Edgecumbe, expressed himself in favor of the move- ment. “Of course,” he said, “when women get their degrees they will not be bach- elors, but spinsters of art, and then after awhile they will proceed to the degree of M. A.—ma.” Hunter’s Waterproof Matghbox. There is not a match safe made, so far as I know, that meets all of the requirements of the sportsman as well as a ten or twelve gauge brass shell closed with a cork stopper. This makes a safe that is absolutely waterpreof, easily opened, is cheap and that will float. If one wishes to provide against the loss of the stopper, a cord may be fastened about the cork and the other end fastened about the base of the shell.—Cor. Forest and Stream.

Subtraction. “If an empty barrel weighs ten pounds, what can you fill it with to make it weigh seven pounds?” “Have to give it up.” “Fill it full of holes.” Ignorance is less distant from truth than prejudice.—Diderot. Rifled Firearms. In the South Kensington museum are several wheel lock muskets with rifled barrels made during the reign of Charles I, if not earlier. Such barrels were then usually called “screwed.” Zachary Grey in a note on “Hudibras,” part 1, canto 3, line 533, says that Prince Rupert showed his skill as a marksman by hitting twice in succes- slon the vane on St. Mary’s Stafford at sixty yards with a “screwed” pistol.— London Notes and Queries. DEMANDSRETRACTION Secretary Loeb Replies to Speech of Mr. Sims in the House. DENIES BEING A LOBBYIST Declares Congressman's Speech Was False in Its Effect, Misleading in Its Imputation and Unfair to His . Sense of Rectitude and Honor. Washington, April 22. — Willlam Loeb, Jr., secretary to the president, has made public a letter written to Representative Sims of Tennessee in reply to Mr. Sims’' speech in the house regarding Mr. Loeb’s connec- tion with the Washington Railway and Electric company. Mr. Loeb calls upon Mr. Sims for an immediate retraction, says that the statement of Mr. Sims was false in its effect, misleading in its imputation, unfair to him and to the representative’s sense of rectitude and honor. He says that of the 4,700 shares of the common stock of the road standing in his name only 100 shares, enough to enable him to qual~ ify as director, are his and he denies approaching any one regarding streeti railway legislation. FORTY-TWO KNOWN DEAD. Eighty-eight Others Injured in Austra- lian Rail Disaster. Melbourne, Australia, April 22— Forty-two bodies have been taken out of the wreckage caused by the col- lision of two trains, from Ballarat and Bendigo respectively, at Braybrook Junction, about eight miles from Mel- bourne. It is believed that several others are still buried under the de- bris. The number of persons injured is placed at eighty-eight. Many of the victims had entered the Ballarat train at Braybrook and were just about settling in their seats when the crash came. The conductor had signalled to the engineer to start | the train and was in the act of step* ping into the car when he saw the approaching Bendigo train. He sprang aside in time to save himself. The station was in darkness and a scene of indescribable horror followed tha collision. Tkree of the cars took firei Many of the victims were burned be« yond recognition. A member of the fire brigade found the bodies of his two sisters buried in the wreckage. An eyewitness to the disaster says that the scene was one of carnage and resembled that of a battlefield. Several of the victims died as they were being lifted from the wreckage. The driver of the Bendigo train says that he saw the signals and when the brakes failed to act he reversed the engine, but was unable to check the train. AIMED AT OIL COMBINE. Roumanian Government Submits Bill to Parliament. Bucharest, Roumania, April 22.—The Roumanian government has laid bé- fore the chamber of deputies a bill directed against the petroleum cem- bine. This action is a result of the agitation against the Standard OH company which the Roumanian ofl dealers have carried on for some time. Several municipalities where the Standard Oil company has attempted to establish oil tanks have made reg- ulations, particularly in the matter of taxes, which have made it practically, impossible for the Roumanians to conr duct business. Minister of Finance Costinescu, speaking in the chamber in behalf of the proposed measuxe, said amid unanimous applause: “The Americans say America fbr the Americans; we will say Roumania for the Roumanians.” The American-Roumanian commer- cial convention, which was signed April 16, made exception of the petro- leum industry, concerning which the government reserved freedom of ak- tion. Grand Jury Will Investigate. ! New York, April 22.—It has become known that a federal grand jury is about to begin an investigation of several of the largest concerns manu- facturing manila wrapping paper 4n this state. The purpose of the inquiry is to ascertain whether or not the manufacturers are conducting their business under an agreement in 'we- straint of trade and in violations of the Sherman anti-trust law. Girl Stowaway on Supply Ship. Washington, April 22.—As the re- sult of a story circulated in Pittsburg by Elmer E. Dey, who was a civilian passenger on the supply ship Brutus, attached to the Pacific fleet, that a girl stowaway made the trip through the straits of Magellan with the fleet, Assistant Secretary of the Navy New- berry has taken steps to ascertain if a man named Dey was aboard the Brutus. Port of La Guayra Closed. Caracas, Venezuela, April 22.—Pres- ident Castro has issued a decree to the following effect: “The port of La Guayra will be closed for fifteen days pending a report of the sanitary board because there have been three deaths and twelve cases of an unknowh tu- bercular fever.

There are more cases of kidney trouble here now than ever before, while recent reports show that more people succomb each year to some form of kidney disease than any other cause. When there is sickness, examine the urine. Rheumatism is only a symptom of kidney trouble. Itis nothing more or less than excessive uric acid in the blood, which the slugegish, inactive kidneys have failed to sift out, leaving it to de- compose and settle about the joints and muscles, causing intent suffer- ing; frequently resulting in deform- ity; often reaching the heart when death ensues. Pains across the back, frequent painful and suppressed urination and other symptoms of weak blad- der are not the only signs of kid- ney trouble; many pain in the heart, inactive liver etc., are but symptoms; the cause of which can be traced to feeble, clogged kid- neys. A simple test of the urine is to void a small quantity in a bottle or glass and let it stand over night; next morning, if there is a reddish brick-dust sediment, or white, fleecy substance present, either consult some reputable physician -or take a good vegetable treatment. The following prescription is recom- mended highly in these cases, and the sufferer should mix it at home’ Compound Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapar- illa, three ounces. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. Where any of the symptoms enumerated above are present,good results are sure to follow immedi- ately the use of this simple pres- cription. destroyed. No oné was Seric by the wreck. WRIT OF MANDAMUS REFUSED Nebraska Loses Fight for Jurisdiction in Railroad Case. ‘Washington, April 21.—The supreme court of the United States has refused a writ of mandamus requested by the state of Nebraska in the case of that state against the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, compelling Unit- ed States Judges William D. and T. Munger to remand back to the su- preme court of Nebraska the suit be- gun by the state to enjoin the rail- road company from charging for its intrastate traffic more than the rate fixed by the state statute, Defenders of Texas Pensioned. ‘Washington, April 21.—The senate has passed a bill pensioning the sur- vivors and the widows of Texas volun- teers who defended the frontier of Texas against Mexican marauders and ndian depredations from 1855 to 1860, inclusive. Evil Spirits Infest Jail. Asheville, N. C., April 21.—A peti- tion signed by all prisoners, white and Dblack, in the county jail has been sent to the jailer and the sheriff. It appeals for protection from “evil spir- its,” which, the prisoners say, haunt the jail. Kills Negress and Suicides. Houston, Tex., April 22.—Amelia Cox, a negress, was shot and killed by Eugene S. Payne, a well known real estate dealer, who then turned the Weapon on himself and sent two bul- lets through his own body, causing death a few minutes later. No reason 1s given for the shooting. Train Strikes Automobile. Dearborn, Mich., April 22.—F. J. Draper and William Walcott, both of Milan, Mich., were instantly killed here when the automobile which they were driving was struck by a Mich- igan Central passenger train while they were attempting to cross the railroad tracks. The Other Reason. A teamster retires at the age of ninety with an accumulation of $30,- 000. He says he wants and is entitled to a rest. Some inquirers want te know how he could have saved so much on $12 a week, the highest wages he ever received. The answer Is easy. He got $2 a day. He lived on 22 cents a day. He saved the difference. I lived in New York on 5 cents a day for nearly six months and was in magnifi- cent health. Some people eat to live; others live to eat. As the old chap on the fersyboat said to the small boy: “Sonny, why does a pig eat?” “’Cause he’s hungry.” “No. There's another reason.” “Whut's dat?” “He wants to make a hog of him- self.”—New York Press. Niagara. i Niagara is a corruption of the Seneca word “neagara,” meaning ‘“across the neck,” an allusion to a strip of land be- tween the lakes. The name has been subjected to many changes since the discovery of the cataract, more than thirty different readings being found in the writings of the various early ex- plorers and geographers. BORAH OPPOSES LENIENCY Mention’s Orchard’s Case in Discuss- .ing Brownsville Affray. ‘Washington, April 2 .—Senator Bo- rah of Idaho, who as special counsel for that state conducted the prosecu- tion of W. D. Haywood, secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, whose trial on the charge of murder- ing former Governor Steunenberg at- tracted wide attention last year, found opportunity in his maiden speech in the senate to express his disapproval of any effort to secure leniency for Harry Orchard, the self-confessed thrower ,of the bomb which caused WILLIAM E. BORAH. Steunenberg’s death. The utterance ‘was a part of a speech by the senator on the Brownsville affray and was made in connection with a condemna- tion of all efforts to condone the of- fense at Brownsville. It was as fol- lows: B “A cold blooded, inhuman, incarnate devil blows to pieces an ex-governer upon the doorstep of his home, is caught and confesses and before the grave of the man who died a martyr to law and order is green sentimental- ism puts a halo upon the brow of the blackest spirit that ever escaped the crypts of hell. Men wearing the uni- form of a soldier of the Union, the insignia of government and the sym- bol of law and order, in the quiet of night, while homes are defenseless, assault and attempt to murder whole families’ and finally succeed in com- mitting one murder. To compromise with such an act or such a deed is cowardice; it is betrayal of govern- ment; it is an insult to every intelli- gent and right thinking negro, for it presupposes he is a traitor to his country and a criminal at heart.” BRYAN TALKS OF HiS INCOME Devotes More Time to Public Work Than to Private Gain. New York, April 22—William J. Bryan, in reply to an interviewer who had suggested that the Nebraskan, having been credited with an earning capacity of from $50,000 to $75,000 a year, might be exposed to the charge by opponents that he was no longer a representative of the laboring classes, but a full fledged plutocrat, replied: “My income is derived mainly from my lecturing, with some addition from articles written for other publications and something from my own paper, but the amount has been very much exaggerated. I make more speeches for nothing than for pay and devote more time to public work than to pri- vate gain. The income that I have received has come from the people who attend my lectures and who read what I write and therefore my obliga- tion is to the whole people rather than to any special class, “My political brominence has been 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.
