At last the natives will learn how hard natives can fight. The Sultan of Turkey should wire our own Mr. Castro for advice as what to do when a battleship fleet is knocking at the door. | Another New England resident has started to walk to Chicago. If he can outstrip the Taft boom, he may get a little notice. We can heartily join in the wish of the French press that the “inter- national farce” of Prince Helie and Mme. Gould may soon end. A" Chicago doctor says that an emotion is a disease. An when it takes a dozeu innings to decide the game the emotion comes pretty near being a fatal disease. “The ch::r;ge ‘that New Yorkibiaknks sold gold at a premium during the panic is hardly worthy of attention. Eastern' Banks cannot be expected to go to the trouble of getting up a panic for nothing. In Reno, Nev., it has been found that the stage of the new theater cannot be seen from” more than half the seats in the gallery. With the average /i"‘beauty . chorus” on the stage these seats should command a premium. DISCUSSES STATE RIGHTS Senator Rayner of Maryland Makes Interesting Speech. ‘Washington, April 24.—State rights was the subject of an interesting 3peech in the senate by Senator Ray- ner of Maryland. Mr. Rayner spoke on his resolution declaring that in the opinion of the senate the powers dele- gated by the Constitution to the Unit- ed States must not be enlarged by im- Dplication or so construed as to con- flict or encroach upon the reserved rights of the states as guaranteed by the tenth amendment. “The trouble with the president is,” said Mr. Rayner, “and I always speak of him not only deferentially but with | great personal respect, that he re- gards himself as vested with unlim- ited executive power under the Con- stitution. “Some of our prominent leaders, with unrestricted exultation, have ap- plauded the president to the echo and in unmeasured terms have commend- ed his revised edition of the Constitu- tion of the United States. A wild and frantic hosanna lately pealed forth in an adjoining chamber from Demo- cratic bosoms as a message replete Wwith' the assumption of unlawful exec- utive authority resounded through the hall. If the president should be nom- inated by the next Republican con- vention what will our spokesmen and orators say who have become the dis- ciples of his creed and in worshipful idolatry have bowed at his shrine?” TO MAINTAIN STATUS QUO North Sea and Baltic Treaties Signed at Berlin. Berlin, April 24—The North sea and Baltic treaties were signed at the for- eign office by Herr von Schoen, Ger- man secretary for foreign affairs, and the British and French ambassadors and the Danish, Dutch and Swedish ministers to Germany. It is expected that an agreement will be reached by the powers concerned regarding the time when the text of these treaties is to be made public. The treaties above referred to main- tain in substance the status quo on the Baltic coast and in the North sea. The relations between Sweden and Russia and Denmark and Russia re- cently have been strained owing to the insistence of Russia that she be released from the agreement made when Sweden surrendered Finland that no naval statlons or fortifications should be established on the Finnish shores adjacent to Sweden. Russia went so far as to establish a naval station on the western shores of the Aland islands, which are twenty-five miles from the Swedish coast, and she Wwas preparing also to erect fortifica- tions there. Admiral Thomas to Command. ‘Washington, April 24—Orders were issued at the navy department detach- ing Rear Admiral Charles M.

BRYAN MEN CONTROL Illinois Democratic Convention in Session at Springfield. JOHNSON BOOMERS ON HAND Circulate Considerable’ Literature, but Are Unable to Stem the Tide of Bryan Enthusiasm—Roger C. Sulli- van Dominates the Gathering. Springfield, IIL, April 24.—The Dem- ocratic state convention organized with the delegates enthusiastic for Bryan and bound to give instructions for him, backed by trong endorse- ment as could be framed. The John- son men appeared on the scene three hours Dbefore the convention was called to order and scattered much literature around, but they made no progress in preventing the Bryan en- thusiasm. The first mention of Bry- an’s name was made in the address of Free .P. Mor the temporary chairman, and evoked much enthusi- asm, the greater part of the cheering coming, however, from outside the ROGER C. SULLIVAN. Chicago and Cook county delegations. Roger C. Sullivan of Chicago, who completely dominated the convention, took no part in the applause that fol- lowed Bryan's name, but sat impas- sive until it subsided. The first session of the convention came to an end with the receipt of the reports of the various district caucuses and the naming of the vari- ous committeemen. The committee on resolutions organized with Fred J. Kern of Belleville as chairman. It went into session immediately after a recess was taken. A long session was expected by the resolutions committee because of the divergence of opinion regarding the “personal liberty” plank. BOTH MOTIONS DEFEATED Mr. Gore (Okla.) Asks Senate to Strike Blow at Steel Trust. Washington, April 24—Two amend- ments to the naval appropriation bill were offered in the senate by Sen- ator Gore of Oklahoma to allow the building of the new battleships, sub- marine boats, etc., authorized by the bill at any shipyard in the world and taking away the restriction in favor of domestic steel. Mr. Gore had no support in his first motion to permit the building of the ships abroad and sixty-two votes were registered against him. His second motion was to strike out the provisions that all the parts of these ships and the steel -material used in them shall be of domestic manufacture. On motion of Mr. Hale that amendment was tabled, 48 to 9, Mr. Gore securing the support of Sen- ators Bacon, Culberson, Davis, Gary, McCreary, Milton, Money and Sim- mors, all Democrats. In offering these amendments Mr. Gore delivered a passionate appeal to {the senate to strike a blow at the steel trust. LODGE FOR CHAIRMAN. Massachusetts Senator May Preside at Chicago Convention. Washington, April 24—Convention pelitics are already under discussion at the Capitol and some of the Repub- lican leaders, realizing the possible danger of friction developing between the rive® aspirants for the nomination In connection with the organization of the eonvention in Chicago, are cau- tiously taking soundings to develop lae attitude and probable course of otion of various eligibles for the con- vention offices. It is now learned that » strong effort is being made to in- juce Senator Lodge of Massachusetts to aceept ‘he permanent chairman- ship. His friends are urging that he pregents in his personality the bes semipromise elements, standing in a most favorable attitude towards each of the persons who have figured in the public prints as possible candi- dates for the Republican nomination. Rhe senator himself does not care to discuss the matter openly and, in fact, It is probable that it has not pro- gressed beyond a tentative stage. Lumber Dealers Enjoined. Lincoln, Neb., April 24—The Ne- braska State Lumber Dealers’ associa- tion was perpetually enjoined by the supreme court and restrained from all operations calculated to eliminate sompetition in the sales of building materials. Secretary Bird Critchfield of the association is also forbidden to carry on any of the business of the srganization.

"Phe mullahs raised the Moh- mands with the view of assisting their fellow tribesmen, the Zakkak- hels, in their fighting last February against the British, but the' Mohmands were too late, arriving on the scene after the Zakkakhels had been put down. Disappointed in their hopes of ighting the Mohmands ' started to ravage the country; villagep were loot- ed, the people thrown into a state of panic and the sniping of British out- posts was inaugurated. The ranks of the raiders increased rapidly until now 10,000 of them are gathered at Kamali, twenty miles from Peshawur. The situation is seriously complicated by the presence in this territory of Afghans, who are flocking in large numbers to the standards of the mul- lahs. Sevesal thousand Afghans are said already to have crossed the Ka- bul river and to be, on their way to join the malcontents. Officials of the ameer of Afghanistan are apparently making no effort to check this move- ment, which seriously’ disturbs the Indian government. The British force now being organ- ized near Peshawur will be command- ed by Sir James Willcocks, who was so successful in stamping out the re- cent Zakkakhel uprising. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

New York, April 24—What prom- ised to be a serious panic in a six- story apartment house on Lexington avenue near Forty-eighth street was averted by the quick wit and bravery of Charles Laundy, an eighteen-year- old elevator boy. Fifty families oc- cupy the house and it contained near- ly 200 women and children when Laundy discovered a threatening fire in the basement. Calling to another employe to send in an alarm he jumped it into his elevator, ran it to the top floor and warned the tenants. He took as many as his car would hold, telling the others to run down the stairways. The alarmed tenants on the fifth floor were then visited by the boy in the car and another big load quickly removed. Laundy con- tinued, keeping the car going up and down, and by the time the firemen ar- rived the building was cleared of its tenants. Fireman Martin Kelly was overcome by poisonous gases while fighting the flames, which were con- fined to the lower portion of the building and were extinguished with comparative ease once the firemen got at them.

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 yowrknow. Mrs. J. C. Liters, living at £602 American Ave.,Bemidji, Minn.,, says: “Iam 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.
