THE'BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED NVERY AFTERNOOK,. AAAAAAAAAAANARPAANARAPANARS A BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By CLYDE J. PRYOR. Tntered in the postofiice at Bemidil. Minn., as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_— MANY CANDIDATES FOR SHERIFF. The race for the republican nomi- nation for sheriff of Beltrami county promises to be one of the warmest contests ever pulled off in the local political field. So far, but two candidates have made public announcement of their candidacy for the nomination, they being A. B. Hazen of this city and Fred Olson of Blackduck. Rumor has to do with several other prospective candidates— enough to insure a real “warm con- test.” Whether Thomas Bailey will again be candidate, has not been stated, and that gentleman keeps his own counsel concerning the matter. However, there be those who believe that Mr. Bailey will not be a candi- date, but that J. N. Bailey, who has served as chief deputy under his father for several years, will make the race. Rumor has it that Arne Solberg, who has acted as deputy sheriff, is a candidate for sheriff. ‘The very latest rumor concerning the office of sheriff is that a well- known resident of Bemidji who at present holds a prominent county office will enter the race, with assur- ance that he will be given certain supoort at the polls that will insure his election. Anyway, there is a good fight in sight, and the various candidates will undoubtedly get an early start. DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR CON- GRESSMAN. According to the Duluth Evening Herald, the democratic party will enter a candidate for congress in every congressional district in this state, this fall, and according to the same authority, C. A. Tuller of Warren, is slated for an opponent to Congressman Steenerson for con- gressman from the Ninth district. Mr. Tuller is a wealthy retired farmer of Warren, and has long been prominet in democratic circles of the district. WHO'LL VOLUNTEER? Two men from Thief River Falls were in the city today looking for a location for a foundry and machine shops. It might not be out of place to suggest to the gentlemen that if ihey will supply a few knockers whom we unfortunately have in this com- munity with sledge hammers, the foundry would have plenty of un- skilled labor to work on the anvil. OBSERVATIONS. "By Doc.™” There now seems little hope of a deathbed repentance by Congress. Stuyvesant Fish, Jr., is now learn- ing the Wall street end of railroad- ing. There are a lot of “empties” in Wall street just now. It must be rough to have a college confer a degree on you, and then have to explain to your friends what the letters mean. When the battleship fleet reaches Australia the natives will hold a race called the “Roosevelt handicap.” That must refer to Congress. The House took a rap at the Senate yesterday. We should say it was the case of an extremely grimy pot calling a pretty clean kettle black. An American girl has returned home after bagging big game in Africa, but her sisters will regard the trip as a failure since she did not bag a title. The trouble is that when a man starts out to be the friend of all hu- manity so many people pass the word around that another good thing has been discovered. A chauffeur who alleges that his heart and nerves were injured by driving his cars has sued his former employer for $10,000. We don’t know about his heart, but his nerve seems all right. They say that “Speaker Cannon made some show of vexation” be- cause the House voted against hit on the ship subsidy bill. We hope that there were no sensative souls within hearing distance while the “show” was going on. [" " Ne Wonder He Fled. A tall, solemn looking young man entered the restaurant with a mild, apologetic alr and seated himself at a vacant table near the middle of the room. It was evident that he dreaded to intrude. He wanted to get as far away from other people as possible. He even blushed painfully when he gave his order, and the most casual observer could have told that he was bashful. Just as his dinner was brought to him a buxom looking wo- man with seven small children entered the place. The head waiter swep: the fleld with his eye, pounced down upon the table where the young man had sought solitude, motioned to the moth- er, who clucked to the chickens, and k moment later they were all around that one table. That young man’s face was a serial story. Other people entered the restaurant, glanced at the group, smiled signifi- cantly and seated themselves. “He doesn’t look it, does he?” queried o pleasant faced old lady in an audible whisper. “She looks at least ten years older than he,” murmured a girl at the next table. He flew to the hatrack, tossed a half crown to the waiter and tried to go through the door without opening it.— London Telegraph. A Wasted Opporunity. “Ole Bill” Foote and “Ole Bill” Eng- lish were political traveling compan- fons, and many stories were told of thelr joint journeyling. The two hardy Democratic campaign- ers were doing southern California one election time and got into the country at the back door of Los Angeles. One night they reached a farmhouse where they had expected to find lodgings. The farmer had nothing but two arm- chairs. Foote and English pleaded for beds—cots, trundle beds, anything that looked like a bed. Nothing doing. The campaigners, like Napoleon or Grant or like Washington at Valley Forge, slept in their chairs. When the first advance agents of dawn scudded out of the west, the poli- ticlans laboriously got out of their chairs and went out for fresh air. They met the old farmer milking the cow with the crumpled horn. “Do- you know, gentlemen,” he said blandly and without contrition, “you could have had a bed, after all? I was expecting two Democratic orators here last night and saved the beds for them, but somehow or other they never show- ed up, dang ’em.”—San Francisco Call. The King Had Rights. Once when Macready was perform- ing at the theater at Mobile, Ala., his manner at rehearsal displeased one of the actors, a native American of pure western type. This Claudius in “Ham- let” resolved to “get even” with the star for many supposed offenses, and In this way he carried out his purpose. When in the last scene Hamlet stab- bed the usurper he rceled forward and after a most spasmodic finish stretch- ed himself out precisely in the place Hamlet required for his own death. Macready, much annoyed, whispered fiercely: “Die farther up the stage, sir.” The monarch lay Insensible, upon which in a still londer voice the Ham- let growled: “Die farther up the stage, sir.” Hereupon the Claudius, sitting up, observed: “I believe I'm king here, and I'll die ‘where I please.” The tragedy concluded without more ado. Broke Up His Speech. Judge Norton was solemn, stern and dignified to excess. He was also ego- tistical and sensitive to ridicule. Judge Nelson was a wit and careless of de- corum. He did not like Judge Norton. At a bar supper Judge Norton in ap elaborate speech, referring to the early days of Wisconsin, described with trag- ic manner a thunderstorm which once overtook him in riding the circult. The scene was awful, “and,” said the judge, “I expected every moment the light- ning would strike the tree under which I had taken shelter.” “Then,” Interrupted Nelson, *“why in thunder didn’t you get under another tree?’—Philadelphia Ledger. A Snow Hurricane. The buran, or snow hurricane of the Pamirs, is a meteorological phenome- non of great Interest. Even in mid- summer the temperature during a snow buran frequently falls to 14 de- grees F., while in one winter it dropped to 45 degrees below zero at the end of January. The buran comes with star- tling suddenness, the atmosphere grow- Ing dark with whirling snowflakes where scarcely a minute before the sky was perfectly clear. One of Life’s Little Tragedies. He seized her, drew her to him and deliberately struck her. She made mno sound. Again and yet again the brute repeated the blow, and still she gave no sign of suffering, but when, with rapidly growing anger, he struck her for the fourth time she shrieked aloud, and her head flew off. She was only a match.—Bohemian Magazine, Wrong Way Around. “Mr. Purslington says he believes a man should pay as he goes.” “Judging from the way he gets In debt, he must be accustomed to travel- Ing backward.”—Washington Star.

Tears In mortal miseries are vain.— Homer, BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. No action looking toward the expul- slon of Representative George L. Lil- ley of Connecticut from the house is contemplated as the result of the sub- marine boat investigation. Francis Binet, a St. Paul high school boy, was almost instantly killed by falling from his bicycle and striking his head on the curbstone while en- deavoring to avold running into an approaching team. . . IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS. Don’t Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles. A Bemidiji Citizen Shows How to Cure Them. Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from alame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. Tnat is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright'sdisease. The best remedy to use is Doan’s Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weakor diseased kidneys. Be- midji people testify to permanent cures. Mrs. E. E. Hanks, living at 223 Park Ave., Bemidji Minn., says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills and the relief I recieved from their use was very great.” There was a dull pain 1n the small of my back, which caused me much suffering and I became so dizzy at times that dark objects would float be- fore my eyes. Hearing about Doan’s Kidney Pills I procured a a box at the Owl Drug Store and felt much better in every way after using them. My usual strength and ambition has returned and it gives me pleasure to recommend them,” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

A very absentminded professional man, with effices in a Chestnut street building, came downtown- the other day and discovered that he had left his keys at home. The superintendent of the building let the ahsentminded man into his office, but he was still as bad off as ever. He could not get into his desk or at his safe. He pondered a lit- tle while over his dilemma; then he decided to return home for the keys. “Why not send a messenger boy after the keys?” was the thought that struck him, but that was Immediately put out of the question by another thought to the effect that the boy would not be able to get in the house in case the absentminded man’'s wife had left home. “That's right; I must go my- self,” decided the troubled man, and home he went, arriving at the very door of his house before it dawned upon him that he without his keys was as bad off as a messenger boy, and the poor man’s wife had gone out all right. “Oh, hang it anyway,” said the absent- minded man, “I ought to have tele- phoned her to wait for me! Why didn’t I do that? Well, I will go right back to the office and phone.” And he did. He phoned and phoned for some time before he could understand why his wife did not answer; then he gave up work for the day.—Philadelphia Record. Turning the Tables. ‘When E. L. Godkin was editor of the New York Evening Post he was sup- posed by many to lack a sense of hu- mor, but those in his employ who stood close to him knew better. One morning he sent for his young ecity editor. “Last night,” sald Mr. Godkin, “I read in the Post an account of the sui- cide of a boy. Your news paragraph reported as the motive that the boy ‘was being resisted at home in a prema- ture inclination to marry. Mr. Blank, can you imagine how that father felt when you accused him for what was no doubt done In a sense of loving duty of being the cause of the death of his child?” The young editor stammered an apol- ogy. s “Thank you for your explanation,” sald Godkin. “But,” he went on in a more decided tone, “if anything like that ever happens again I give you fair ‘warning, sir, that I will leave this pa- per! I will not work for a paper that says things so cruel!”—Success Maga- zine, When Britain Fought For an Ear. Perhaps the most extraordinary ample of Britain going to war for “no reason at all” occurred in the reign of George II. One Robert Jenkins, an Hnglish merchant-captain, trading from Jamalca, arriving in England in 1738, reported that the sloop had been board- ed by the Spanish coast guards and that, though no proof of smuggling had been found, he had been tortured and his ear torn off. All England flew into an uproar. “Jenkins’ ear” divided par- tles and shook Walpole’s ministry it- self. The house of commons sent for Jenkins, and he was told to bring his ear with him. The incident grew into a crisis, though Walpole did his best to persuade people to keep their heads, but the popular indignation was so great that the next year the govern- ment was compelled to declare war against Spain.—Pearson’s. ‘The Parish Top. Once In England top whipping was practically ordered by law. There was 8 huge top formerly provided in every village to be whipped in frosty weath- er that the peasants might be kept ‘warm by, the exercise and out of mis- chief while they could not work. Shakespeare in “Twelfth Night” says, “His brains turn llke a parish top.” Ben Jonson in “New Inn” writes, “He spins like a parish top,” and Beaumont and Fletcher have “dances like a town top and reels and hobbles.” Evelyn, the diarist, speaking of the uses of wil- low wood, says that it was ordered that |. “the great town tops should be made STANDARD OIL SUIT. Company Begiins Presentation of s Evidence. New York, May 2 .—The Standard Oil company, its officials and allled and subsidiary companies have begun to submit their evidence In the suit brought by the United States govern- ment to dissolve the alleged oil com- bine. The evidence yet to be present- ed In this case is expected to include testimony by railway presidents and other railroad officials relative to the relations of the railroads with the Standard Oil company, especially on the matter of rebates. Among thos Dresent when the hearing reopene before a commissioner were B. W. McKenna, vice president of the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway, and Louis C. Fritch, assistant to the president of the Illinois Central. Sub poenas have been served upon Presi- dent Underwood of the Erie, Presi- dent Thomas of the Lehigh Valley and ‘W. C. Brown, senior vice president of the New York Central. The Standard Oil company was rep- resented by Moritz Rosenthal and the gavernment by Frank B. Kellogg and several assistants. C. C. Steinbrenner, an official of the Galena Signal Oil company of Frank- ln, Pa, was the first witness. Mr. Steinbrenner deseribed the Galena Signal Oil company’s contraats to fur nish lubricating oil to the railroads and said they were made on a basis of miles traveled by the locomotives. ‘When cross-examined by Mr. Kellogg Mr. Steinbrenner said that the Penn: sylvania railroad was using a great deal mors oil per mile traveled than the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, but that the Pennsylvania was pay- ing much less for the oil. The wit ness sald his company was losing money on its contracts with the Penn: sylvania and the Central railroad of Georgla. Chair Is Declarsd Vacant. Cincinnati, May ?)—The resigna ton of Professor H. H. Bawden from the chair of philosophy in the Univer-| sity of Cincinnati not having been pre- sented as demanded by President Dab- ney that chair has been formally de- clared vacant by the university trus- tees. In a statement issued the trus- tees explain that their action was taken unanimously for the reason that “his manner of life as well as his teaching is destructive of the family, the foundation of human society.” SIX STREET CARS IN CRASH Two People Killed and Forty Injured at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, May 2 .—The street car accident near Chestnut Hill park, about twelve miles from the center of the city, in which two persons were killed and more than forty were in- jured, was one of the worst trolley crashes that has occurred here for a number of years. The dead are Mary J. Wagner, aged sixty-four years, of Cornwall, Pa., and Charles Allebach of this city. All the injured probably will re- cover, although several are in a seri- ous condition.. Six cars carrying more | than 200 persons were involved 1n tne accident. An open car, heavily load- ed, was returning to the city and when on the crest of a steep hill be- came unmanageable. The motorman shut off the power and applied the brakes. The brake chain parted and the car ran backward down the hill at great speed.” It crashed into the car following it and the force of the collision sent the second car back into a third and other cars at the bottom of the hill. All the trolleys were badly wrecked and scarcely a person in them escaped without in- Jury, it being necessary to remove more than forty to hospitals. All the injured persons resided in this city. There were numerous cases of frac- tured limbs, but most of the injured suffered from lacerations. The crashes of the cars and cries of the Injured roused the quiet suburb of Chestnut Hill into instant action and the residents formed themselves into rescue bands until the police and hospital physicians arrived.

Journal Read at Length to Prevent Passage of Bills. ‘Washington, May 2 .—The senate began “marking time” again when it convened. The journal was read at length in order to prevent the passage of any measures that might result in further delaying proceedings in the house. During the reading of the journal Mr. Beveridge made the usual motion that the further reading be “dispensed with.” He has been trying for sev- eral days to secure consideration for the government employes’ liability bill and the bill providing that the date of packing shall be placed on canned meats, Mr. Kean, who had been placed “on guard” by the Repub- Hean leaders, objected on the ground | that the clerk at that moment was reading a “most important report.” The reading continued and the sen- ators poked a number of jibes at the Indiana senator, who received them with the utmost good nature. Later on Mr. Beveridge again attempted to dispense with the reading but-failed. Three Men Swept Over Fails. Spokane, —wrach. way 2 .—John Sharpless, John Miles and a young Englishman named Richmond, all of Nelson, B.

Circuit Court of Appeals Affirms Re- bate Decision. St. Paul, May 2 .—The United States court of appeals has affirmed the de- cision of the lower court in the re- bate cases involving the Omaha Rafl- road ‘company and H. M. Pearce, gen- eral freight agent of the road, in which-a fine of $20,000 was imposed on the raflroad company and Mr. Pearce was fined $2,000. Judge Ad- ams wrote the opinion, Judges San- born and Philips concurring. The trial was held before Judge Morris at the April term of court last year In Minneapolis. The indictment was returned the previous November. The defendants were indicted on fifty separate counts for granting that number of rebates from the rate named in the tariffs and schedules of rates published and filed by the road with the interstate commerce com- misgion for carrying oats from Minne- apolis to Duluth over a route which passed through some portion of Wis- consin. They were found guilty on all counts and one fine of $20,000 and an- other of $2,000 were imposed upon the two named defendants, The defendants prosecuted a writ of error to secure a reversal of that judgment, EXECUTION TO BE PUBLIG Sheriff Hopes to Teach Foreigners a Lesson.
