SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM i BERNARD COMING BACK. The following article, taken from the columns of the Walker Pilot, will be read with interest by the many north-country people who were induced to contribute to the “cause” of drainage, at the time the “Hon. G.” (yclept ““The Captain”) and “Colonel” H. G. Hayes (of Sentinel fame) were ‘“hustling” the coin wherewith to push the great work of reclaiming some few million acres of swamp lands hereabouts: “The Walker Pilot has it on good authority that Capt. A. G. Bernard of Cass Lake, who has been at Washington during the past winter in the interests of the National Drainage association, is to return to northernMinnesota with the adjoura- ment of congress or shortly after. “Mr. Bernard was the first presi- dent of the state drainage league. During his regime drainage was talked from one end of the state to the other. At the annual drainage meeting held at Wadena about a year ago. Mr. Bernard was displaced and from that moment newspapers and interested citizens throughout the state have been trying to find the drainage issue. But it can’t be found! Whereis it? And will the commendable work be taken up again with the coming of Bernard? What we want is someone who can find the Minnesota Drainage league. A Wellman or a Peary would come in mighty handy iust now. But per- haps, after all, Capt. Bernard can help us on this.” The real reason for Bernard’s return from Washington to the old haunts around the Voice office at Cass Lake is probably due to the fact that contributions to the cam- paign fund of the National Drainage League have commenced to wane, and there is not enough lucre at the disposal of the northern Minnesota president to continue the high liv- ing which he has enjoyed for some two years, maimly through the instrumentality of the railroads. “A. G.,” as a newspaper man, is a fair success, but where he especially shines is in working the dear people of Cass Lake and elsewhere for funds with which to lobby for some special privilege at Washing- ton. The old gentleman certainly does enjoy life at the capital. Hayes has not been heard from, of late; and it is barely possible that he has “gone to his reward”— the place where Colonel Allen has oft times expressed himself as being a fit place for Hayes to occupy— and that isn’t heaven. ITALIANS STORM BANK. Riot Follows Closing of Small Institu- tion at Cleveland. Cleveland, June 3.—Five hundred Italians stormed the closed doors of the private banking house of Gaetano Liotta and had it not been for police Interference would have forced an eh- trance. As soon as the doors of the bank failed to open at the accustomed time the bank was surrounded by ITtalians. Rumors fled fast and men, women and children flocked to the place where they had deposited their savings. The crowd threatened to break in the doors and a riot call was turned in. A squad of policemen soon arrived and drove back the excited Italians. Liotta, it is said, cannot be found. The total deposits do not amount to more than $30,000. Aged Lawyer Tired of Life. New York, June 3.—Tired of life after seventy years Anthony B. Porter, senior member of the law firm of Porter & Kilvert, killed himself in his office by inhaling chloroform. He had made careful preparations for his death and wrote a letter to a nephew requesting him to take charge of all his affairs and to have his body cre- mated. On a table in the office where Porter had killed himself was found a note asking that several persons be notified of his death. On Trial for Alleged Peonage. Charleston, W. Va., June 3.—In the United States court here hearing was begun on the charge\against Samuel Dixon, a prominent coal operator of Fayette county, and others of holding workmen in peonage for debt. The alleged offense is said to have taken place at the White Oak mines at Scar- boro and there are two complaints. Fear American Cotton Monopoly. Paris, June 3.—The reports to and the debates before the fifth interna- tlonal congress of cotton spinners and manufacturers, in sessfon here, all in- dicate that Europe stands in. great. fear of American monopoly and feels the urgent necessity of freeing this immense manufacturing industry from American domination of the price of raw material, especially when cotton s the subject of speculative move- ments, FIKING UP PLATFORM Conference 2t White House De- cides on various Planks. TAFT PRESENT AT MEETING Resolutions to Be Presented to Chi- cago Convention Take Advanced Ground on Tariff, Control of Trusts, Currency and Limiting Injunctions. Cincinnati, June 3.—The planks to be presented to the Republican na- tional convention at Chicago, as de- cided on at various conferences at the White House, are given in a ‘Washington special to the Times-Star as fellows: The Chicago platform will take ad- vanced ground on the tariff, on con- trol of the trusts, on the amending of the Sherman law, on lthe currency and on the question of limiting the power of injunctions.. In other regards it will stand squarely on the policies which have been the success of the Roosevelt administration. In the rough it will be drafted by Wade El- lis, attorney general of Ohio. Such were among the decisions reached at a White House conference. There have been erroneous reports as to the identity of those who attended that conference, destined to be a his- torical one. The accurate list is as follows: President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft, Secretary of the Interior Garfield, ‘Wade RHllis, Senator Long of Kansas, Senator Hopkins of Illinols, Frank B. Kellogg, national committeeman from Minnesota; Congressman Longworth of Cincinnati and William Loeb, sec- retary to the president. At the meeting the entire subject was discussed. The topics most ex- haustively considered were the tariff, the trusts, control of the railroads, currency, the comservation of national resources, improvement of waterways, Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and the Panama canal. The order in which these topics are to be present- ed to the convention was tentatively agreed upon, subject, of course, to the approval of the resolutions committee of the convention. Attorney General Ellls presented a plank providing for an amendment to the Sherman law, under the provisions of which harm®ss agreements among mercantile associations, which seek not to create monopolies or to fix and control prices, but merely to protect the legitimate channels of trade, will be allowed. Such a provision would also exempt the harmless acts of la bor organizations. GENERAL BULLER DEAD. Was First Commander of the British Forces in Boer War. London, June 3.—General Sir Red- vers Henry Buller, who had been ill for some weeks past, is dead. He was born in 1839. General Buller entered the army in 1858 and in 1891 he had risen to the rank of lieutenant general. He served in China in 1860, in the Ashanti war in 1874, in the Kaffir and the Zulu ‘war in 1876-9. He was in South Africa in 1881 and in Egypt in 1882 and was present at the battle of Tel-El-Kebir; he also fought in the Soudan war in 1834 and was under secretary for Ire- land in 1887. He became well known during the Boer war as the man who relieved Ladysmith. He went out to South Africa in 1898, first as general com- manding the forces in South Africa’ and afterwards as general officer com- manding in Natal. He conducted the operations for the relief of Ladysmith, which was successfully accomplished after an investment of 118 days, and subsequently he conducted the opera- tions that resulted in the ‘expulsion of the Boer army from Natal. In April General Buller contracted a chill in London and this indisposition was followed by a severe attack of jaundice and other complications. HAS THE DESIRED EFFECT President’s Latest Declaration Con- cerning His Renomination. ‘Washington, June 3.—Because Pres- ident Roosevelt’s latest declaration that “no friend of mine” will continue efforts to renominate the president was written to one of West Virginia’s delegates to the Chicago conventfon for the specific purpose of heading off what appeared to be a united effort among certain delegates from that state to revive the Roosevelt senti- ment the general publication of the letter is regarded as not expedient or desirable. More than this the presi- dent’s friends, echoing his sentlments, say that the president has expreosed himself to the country on this subject in terms which admit of no uncer- tainty. For this reason, it is explained, that no publicity will be given the letter to the president's personal friend in West Virginia. That the missive has accomplished the purpose for which it was written {s said to be the fact, Chicago Grain and Provisions. Chicago, June 2.—~Wheat—July, 91% @981%c; Sept, 88c; Deoc., 88%c.

IT IS SERIOUS. Some of the Bemidji People Fail to Realize the Serious- ness. The constant aching of a bad back, The weariness, the tired feeling, The pains and aches of kidney ills., Are serious—If neglected. Dangerous urinary troubles fol- low. A Bemidji citizen shows you how to avoid them. Clark Roberts, living at goo America Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: I suffered severely for two or three years with a pain in the small of my back. The pain would come on very suddenly and last for two or three weeks, caus ing me much misery and discom- fort while it lasted. The kidney secretions were dark and un- natrual in appéarance, and there was much soreness about the kid- ney regions. I went to the Owl Drug Store and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. After using them a short time I began feeling very much better. I have. not suffered from any trouble with my kidneys since. The kidney secre. tions have become clear and I have felt better in every way,” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cent. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

New York, June 3,—Fire starting in the basement of Mrs. Mary Mooney’s boarding house in West Thirtieth street completely cut off the escape of Mrs. Mooney’s twenty boarders and when the firemen arrived a young wo- man had thrown herself from the roof to the pavement and was dead, sev- eral others were severely burned and the upper windows, front and rear, ‘were crowded with men and women begging to be saved. As there were no fire escapes and the blaze cut off exit by the hallways firemen were sent up through an ad- joining building, whenc® they crossed to the roof of the burning house. Mrs. George Mieklo was confused by the smoke and was unable to reach the roof. Fire Truck Captain Sweeney saw her at a window on the top floor and, tying a rope to the chimney, low- ered himself to the window, whence the other firemen drew her and the captain to the roof. Lieutenant Reilly tied a wet cloth over his face and entered the burning house through a scuttle from the roof. Feeling his way through the heavy smoke from room to room he stum- bled upon Mrs. Haggerty in the third floor front room. She had fainted. Lieutenant Reilly carried her to the roof and thence to the street. HARTIE CASE UP AGAIN. Husband Asks for Additional Bill of Particulars. Pittsburg, June 3.—Attorneys J. Scott Ferauson and W. B, Rogers, rep- resenting Augustus Hartje, the multi- millionaire paper manufacturer whose sensational divorce litigation against his wife, Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, was unsuccessful, but attracted national attention, went into common pleas court and. asked for an additional bill of particulars. The filing of the bill has made pub- lic considerable testimony presented during the trial which did not come out at the time, all of which is of a sensational nature. The libellant is asked to specify the alleged indignities offered by re- spondent to libellant by stating the time and place where she alleges re- spondent struck her in the face with his fist and by specifying the time and place in the city of London where she alleges that in the month of July he kicked her without any provocation and to specify as to the allegations of infidelity on the part of respondent. A demand s also made for sources of information. Victim of Lynchers Left Estate. Reno, Nev., June 3.—Friends of Joseph Simpson, who was lynched by being hanged to a telegraph pole at Skidoo for shooting a saloonman of that place, are now trying to find his. widow. It is stated that he left over $25,000 and that his wife will receive the entire estate If she will apply for it. Lawyer's Sensational Suicide. 8St. Joseph, Mo., June 3.—Robert J. Roark, supposed to be a lawyer from Junction City, Kan., cut his throat in a hotel here. He then jumped from a second story window and ran fo a res- idence a block distant, burst through a window and fell dead in the kitchen. Papers on his person indicate domes- tlo trouble. Refuses to Take Case From Jury. - Harrisburg, Pa., June 8.—Judge Kunkle, in the Dauphin county court, refused to take the capitol conspiracy case from the jury. All five defend- ants will therefore stand trial. The decision has been eagerly awaited and was a keen disappointment to the de- fonse. GETTING ALONG_NICELY, Former President Cleveland Returns to Princeton. Princeton, N. J.,, June 2—Former President Grover Cleveland has re- turned to his home here from Lake- wood, N. J., where he had gone about two months ago, arose early and after a hearty breakfast sat reading on the veranda of his residence. Mrs. Cleve- land said: “We are glad to get back home again, Mr. Cleveland is very well, though not entirely recovered: Yet he contizues to get along nicely. We have made no plans for the future as yet, but we expect to stay at Prince- ton for some time.” The Cleveland home was decorated with many flowers in honor of the homecoming of Mr. Cleveland. Steamer Vaderland Is Safe. Antwerp, June 2.—The accident to the Red Star line steamer Vaderland; over which considerable anxiety has been felt on account of rumors that she had gone ashore or had been in collision with another vessel, is very glight, consisting of a simple disar- vangement of her machinery. The steamer returned to Flushing after re- pairs had been completed and lefi that port later for Dover. Thirty Thousand Troops Parade. Berlin, June 2.—Emperor Willlam gave King Gustav and Queen Victoria of Sweden a magnificent military show, the occasion being the annual spring parade of the garrisons of Ber- lin and neighboring stations. Thirty thousand men of all arms of the serv- lce, about 8,000 being cavalry, maneu- vered on the two square miles of the Tempelhof parade field. BENCH WARRANTS ISSUED Men Involved in Cotton Leak Scandal Wanted in Washington. ‘Washington, June 2.—Bench war- rants were issued here for Theodore H. Price of New York, a cotton oper- ator; E. 8. Holmes, Jr., former statis- tician of the department of agricul- ture; Moses Haas and Frederick A. Peckham, both of New York, charging them with conspiracy. The warrants are in the government cotton report leak cases and were issued for the New York men for the purpose of causing their arrest- and return to this jurisdiction for trial. All four men were indicted here Friday. Assistant District Attorney Adkins, who has the case in charge for the government, stated that the regular routine of getting a prisoner to this Jurisdiction will be carried out, but it is thought probable that Mr. Price can qualify in bail in New York city to answer to the charge pending here when called upon. Southern Industries Resume. Birmingham, Ala., June 2—With the resumption of mines, furnaces and other industries this week 8,000 men who have been idle or practically so for several months go back to work, Twenty-five hundred resumed in mines and cokey ovens. The others will fol- low as the furnaces are stocked with the result of their labor. It is also understood that the United States Steél corporation will begin in the Iron territory a general revival of ac- tivities that will give other thousands work in the near future. An Exasperating Mamma, The small boy’s mother was the only one who sat unmoved, while the smali boy himself—most unwelcome addition to the informal afternoon tea—gleeful Iy galloped around.the ecircular table daintily spread with silver and china and towered over by a cut glass lamp. “I's a squircus pony!” shrilled the in: fant joyously as he tossed his flaxen locks and twinkled his besocked legs with ever increasing speed. “Mercy! He'll have the lamp over!”’ shivered a nervous young woman as the human gyroscope stumbled over the edge of a rug, clawed at the table for support, then trlumphantly continued eireling. Conversation froze on pallid lips as they sat awaliting the inevita- ble crash. Only the voice of the smali boy’s mother rippled along serenely. The nervous young woman could stand it no longer. In sheer despai she ventured, “Mrs. Archibald—er—par- don me—your dear little boy”— The lady addressed stared blankly, then grasped the situation. “Malcolm,” she said sweetly—“Malcolm, dear, rup around in the opposite direction, dar- ling. Miss Vinton’s afraid you’ll make - yourself giddy.”—Woman’s Home Com- panion/ Making. It Simple. In the course of his sermon a preach er in a rural district used the world phenomenon. This word caused one of the members some trouble, for he was unable to attach any meaning to it Finally he determined to seek an ex- planation from the minister and at the close of the service approached him op the subject. “What did yer mean by that there long word yer used in yer sermon?' he began. ““Oh, I see you do not know what 8 phenomenon is,” replied the minister. “Well, have you ever seen a cow graz Ing in a field in- which thl.stles ‘were growing?’ “Yes; many a time.” “That is not a phenomenon. And n¢ doubt you have often listened to a lark singing merrily away up in the clouds.” Yo “That, ‘again, is not a phenomenon But if you saw that cow sitting on a thistle singing like a lark that would be a phenomenon.” — Liverpool Mer- cury. At Home. “He was perfectly at home at the banquet.” . “Why, he didn’t have a word to say.” “Well, that's being perfectly at home for him.”—Houston Post.

None_knows the welight of anothers burden,—~Herbert, ness. This Makes [t Very Plain. The meaning of the word *swastika” 18 “It Is well," or good luck. The mean- Ing of the symbol is more complex. Some folks trace it to the sun. “The emblem is the sun in motion,” argued Professor Max Muller. “A wheel with spokes was actually re- placed by what we now call swastika. The swastika is, in fact, an abbreviat- ed emblem of the solar wheel with spokes In it, the tire and the move- ment being indicated by the cramprus. “It is the summary in a few lines of the whole work of creation,” said Mme. Blavatsky; “Is evolution, as one should say, from cosmotheogony down to an- thropogeny, from the indivisible un- known to materialistic science, whose genesis Is as unknown to that sclence as that of the all Deity itself. The swastika is found heading the religious symbols of every old nation.” The Defect In His Dressing. - The professor of surgery in one of England’s universities has the reputa- tion of being one of the most painstak- ing and delicate operators in Britain, thoughtful of the patient and careful In the clinic. One day In the course of a clinical demonstration he turned to a student who had just commenced his studies with the question: “Now, sir, can you tell me what is ‘wrong with my dressing?” The ingenuous youth turned red and preserved a discreet silence. The pro- fessor, however, was not to be put off and repeated the question. After a long pause the youth stammered out in a fit of desperation: “Well, sir, if you insist on my telling you, I should say your tie is not quite straight.”—London Globe. _The Son’s Answer. Affer his son’s great success with “the “Dame aux Camelias” Alexandre Dumas wrote to him as though a stran- ger, congratulating him on the book and expressing a desire to make the author’s acquaintance. “I myself am a literary man,” said he in conclusion, “and you may have heard my name as the author of ‘Monte Cristo.”” Dumas fils was equal to the occasion. He wrote immediately in reply, ex- pressing the great pleasure he would have in making his correspondent’s ac- quaintance, principally on account of the high terms in which he had always heard his father speak of the author of “Monte Cristo.” Befere Going Elsewhere. “Good morning, Mr. Highprice!” greeted the friend, entering Mr. High- price’s furniture store. “I saw your ad. in the newspaper saying that you would be pleased to have your friends call in on you before going elsewhere to buy, so I thought I'd call.” “Very good!” returned the apprecia- tive Mr. Highprice, rubbing his hands. “Now, what can I sell you?’ “Nothing. I told you I was going elsewhere.”—Pearson’s. A Forgetmenot. Citiman—You ought to know some- thing about flora and that sort of thing. Tell me, what is a “forgetmenot?” Subbubs—Why, it’'s a piece of string that your wife ties around your finger when you go In town on an errand.— Philadelphia Press. Kadiak Island’s Queer Climate, Of the abnormal climate of Kadiak Island, Alaska, a writer says: “In spite of its situation in such high latitndes we find here what may well be de- scribed as ‘the parting of the ways’ be- tween the arctic and more temperate regions. For, thanks to the moderating Influence of the Japanese current ‘which flows along Its southern coasts, Kadiak is favored with climatic condi- tlons such as are unknown even in places a few miles north or east of il on the mainland of Alaska. So pro- nounced is the demarcation line that even on the island itself a traveler in summer will suddenly emerge from amid forests and vegetation of almost tropical luxuriance into a barren, des- olate land of silence, where lofty snow capped mountains tower aloft, brood- ing, as It were, over the past terrors of an arctic winter, which will soon de- scend once more, enveloping them 1in its icy grip.” The English Channel. One of the most famous bits of water in the world. is the English channel, which separates and yet unites the sis- ter countries of England and France and has been the scene of so much ot their history. It extends on the Eng- lish side from Land’s End to Dover and on the French side from the islang of Ushant to Calais. Its entrance from the German ocean is the strait of Do- ver, twenty-one miles wide, while at the other extremity, where it joins the Atlantic, it is 100 miles from shore tg shore. The greatest width midway is 150 miles. Owing to the strong current setting in from the westward, the high winds which frequently prevail and the configuration of the shores it has a roughness which has become prover- blal and few cross it without seasick- It Would Flatter Man. Few men have deserved and few have won higher praise in an epitaph than the following, which was written by Lord Byron on the tomb of his dead Newfoundland: “Near this spot are deposited the re- mains of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without: inso- lence, courage without ferocity and all the virtues of man without his vices. This' praise, which would be unmean: Ing flattery if Inscribed over human ashes, I8 but a just tribute to the mem- ory of Boatswaln, a-dog, who was born at Newfoundland May 8, 1803, and died at Newstead abbey Nov. 18, 1!

Countess Hertford’s Bell. Hdward Seymour, earl of Hertford, in the days of Queen Elizabeth married as his third wife a beautiful young widow who had been engaged to Sir George Rodney, but whom she jilted for Lord Hertford. $ir George Rodney trayeled to Amesbury and, putting up at the inn, awaited the homecoming of the earl and countess, who were ex- pected to arrive the next day. The in- fatuated man wrote a dying ode to his fickle love, using his blood as ink, and upon the arrival of the bridal party he went out to meet them. Lady Hert- ford was agitated and terrified at the appearance of her old lover, and be- fore Sir George could be prevented he -drew his sword and, falling on it, ex- pired at Lady Hertford’s feet. The countess presented a bell to Amesbury church perhaps as a slight penance for her fickleness. The inscription runs: Be strong in faythe, prayes God well, Frances, Countess Hertford's bell. Stars That Outshine the Sun. One of the government astronomers, referring to stars that are so distant that they have no measurable parallax, asserts that one of these, the brilliant Canopus, can be said with confidence to be thousands of times brighter than our sun. Whether we should say 20, 000, 10,000 or 5,000 no one can decide. The first magnitude stars, Rigel and Speca, also are at an immeasurable distance and must, in view of their ac- tual brightness, enormously outshine the sun. MARKET QUOTATIONS, Minneapolis Wheat.
