SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM WHO'LL WIN 0UT? The republican nomination representative to the legislature from this district is a plum that is undoub- tedly going to cause a very lively campaign to be waged among at least four candidates, two of whom are from Beltrami county. This conclusion is formed from the follow- ing telegram to the Minneapolis Tribune from Thief River Falls: “The contest for the primaries in this legislative district is becoming interesting even at this early date. The first candidate to file on the Re- publican ticket is Harry Ives of St. Hilare, in the central part of Red Lake county, and he is now actively at work. “Representative Opsahl of Bemidji will shortly formally appear in the lists and it is well known that another “barkus” will come fourth from Beltrami county. “Clearwater county is also ambi- tious and a candidate from Bagley is already planing to announce himself, so that at least four candidates will be in the field. It is within the range of possibility that Red Lake county will have another man in field in opposition to Mr. Ives and the other candidates. “It is probably not well known that this legislative district contains a greater population than any other in the state: in fact, so large a pop- ulation as compared with the others that on a fair basis of representation it is entitled to one representative to each of the three counties comprising it.” for ——— KNOWS ADVERTISING BENEFITS. The man who asked William Jennings Bryan whether he really believed in advertising, paid Mr. Bryan a compliment. It happened in Reading, Pa., and the modern commoner indeed showed that he was a wise man by the reply he made. It was: “The fellow who tries to attract business wilhout advertising is like the fellow who throws his sweetheart a silent kiss; he knows what he is doing but no one else does.”—Rochester Bullctin OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc”] Strong drink is many a man’s weakness. But the cow is too modest to blow her own horn. Poverty makes thieves and politics make grafters. An ounce of help is worth several pounds of talk about it. He’s a fool wmwan who marries a woman for beauty alone. When a wise man gets the worst of it he makes the best of it. Be sure you can hold your own before attempting to get married. The wise mother brings up her child as if she were its stepmother. The sooner some men get married the longer time they have in which to repent. Everything he wants will come to the man who waits until he doesn’t want anything. It’s easy for anyone to borrow trouble, but when it comes to bor- rowing happiness—well, that’s differ- ent. A mole may be either a beauty spot or a blemish; it depends on whether it is located on a pretty girl or a mere man. Over the Eggs and Bacon, He scraped with his knife a bit of butter off the sporting page. “The writer of that poem on flying is accused of plagiarism now,” he said. “It's awful” she exclaimed, “the way these men go about the country marrying innocent women! Wipe your mustache, dear.” He wiped his mustache and, with a frown, inspected the result upon his napkin. 4 “Plaglarism,” be sald, “means a lit- erary theft.” “Stole some books, did he?” “No, no; he stole ideas. They say a ‘woman wrote the poem years ago.” “And now they bring it up against her, eh? Oh, these newspapers! But look at the mess you’ve made there with your coffee. I do wish youw'd try to be a little more careful.”—New Or- OKLAHOMA' TORNADD Destructive Wind Storms Sweep Over Four Counties, SEVEN VILLAGES WIPED OUT Many Persons Known to Have Been Injured and a Number Are Reported Killed—Section Devastated Isolated and Thinly Populated.

Father of Mrs. Howard Gould Expires at Jacksonville, il Jacksonville, I, May 11.—Seldon P. Clemmons is dead at Central insane hospital. He was seventy years of age and was blind. He was the father of Kathryn Clemmons Gould, wife of Howard Gould, and was brought to the hospital on March 6 from his home in Milton, Ill. His death was due indi- rectly to a stroke of paralysis suffered leans Times-Democrat, & few years ago. According to the testimony at the time Mr. Clemmons was admitted to the asylum his first wife was a daugh- ter of Colonel Thomas M. Kirkpat- rick, whose home was in Winchester, 0. They had two children, Ella and Kathryn. Clemmons secured a divorce and the mother and two girls left for California after the elder, Blla, had married and left Charles Watts of Milton. On the coast the elder girl took up slum work and several years later married a Chinaman. Kathryn, the younger girl, went on the stage and several years later mar- ried Howard Gould. Clemmons did not hear often from his daughters and this is believed to have weighed on his mind and hastened his death. FRENCH PUBLIC OPINION. Incensed Against Castro’s Treatment of Foreigners. Paris, May 12.—The recent expul- slon of eight Frenchmen from Vene- tuela has served to increase the re- sentment of French public opinion ogainst President Castro’s arrogant treatment of foreigners. The Temps, reviewing the situation, expresses re- gret that France did not send ships to bombard Puerto Cabello instead of simply breaking off diplomatic rela- tions, when M. Taigny, the French charge d’ affaires, was expelled from Venezuela two years ago. It declares that the time has come to act. “The United States seems disposed to begin,” says the Temps. “Senator Cullom declared that Castro deserved a good spanking. Never was there a more propitious occasion for President Roosevelf to use the big stick, and France is perfectly willing to see him enact the role of peacemaker. Vene- zuela must be taught a lesson, and it is immaterial whether it comes from Washington or elsewhere, pro- vided it comes quickly.™ BOY KILLS HIS FATHER. Had Become Tired of Seeing His Mother Abused. Niagara Falls, N. Y., May 12.—Nor- man White, a lad of fifteen years, ac- cording to his subsequent story to the police, had seen his mother abused by his father ever since he could remem- ber. Finally he spent his savings for a revolver. When the elder White returned home and began abusing his wife, Norman told him he would kill him if he did not let his mother alone. “Shoot me if you dare,” the man challenged, as he threatened to strike his wife. The lad emptied the five chambers of the revolver. Four shots went wide, but the last penetrated the man’s lung. He will not live many hours. The boy is under arrest. Vote on Question of Strike. Chicago, May 1!—Five thousand employes of the Chicago Railways company are taking a referendum vote on the question of calling a strike on the North and West Side lines.

ARGUMENTS SET FOR MAY 26 Assistant District Attorney Smyth, Who Handled Some of the Cases Mentioned in the Complaint, the Last Witness to Be Heard. New York, May 1 .— "c hearing of testimony on the ch. . s preferred against District Attorney Jerome has been completed. Closing arguments will be made on May 26. The examination of Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Smyth was continued. Mr. Smyth said that he personally handled the cases of William H. Til- linghast and the American Ice com- pany, both of which figured in the charges against the district attorney. Mr. Smyth said that it was upon rec- ommendation of Mr. Jerome that the first indictment against Julian, the former investigator of the Metropoli- tan street railway, who has been the principal witness for the complainants in the present proceeding, was dis- missed. He said he had many confer- ences with Julian while the Tilling- hast case was under investigation. In reply to a question as to how it was possible for Tillinghast to have served on twenty-five juries in the city court without his name being on the panel Smyth said Tillinghast told him the court clerks were always glad to have him serve as they could pocket his fees. He did not need the fees, Tillinghast said, because he was well paid for his services by Stanley Bagg. Replying to a question Mr. Smyth said he had heard that the court clerks sometimes indicated prefer- ences as to how cases should go, not only where railroads were involved but in the cases of other defendants. He said he had never heard from Stanley Bagg or any one else that when a summoned jury order came in at the first or the middle of the month word was passed around the Metro- politan office to go down and see whether any of the jurymen were rec- ognized.
