That the Elks of this city and the citizens of Bemidji properly cared for visitors during the Elks’ conven- tion is amply attested by the follow- ing: Crookston Times: A number of the members of the Crookston Lodge of Elks who have been in at- tendance at the Bemidji convention returned to the city last evening and more came in on the morning train, They report a great time and the greatest attention being showered upoa them from the different dele- gations from all sections of the state. The convention' was a 'big success and the Crookston Lodge and the Crookston band did much to make it so. The Crookston men were in evidence all the time and they kept the ball rolling with great regularity. The larger number of local delegates will return this evening while a few will remain over Sunday taking in the delights of the lake, and will make an effort to secure sufficient fish to feast all their Crookston friends. The returning delegates cannot speak too highly of the hos- pitality of the Bemidji Elks and the citizens in general; they did every- thing to make the convention most pleasant and enjoyable. Walker Pilot: It’s “hello Bill” in Bemidji today. Reports wafted down this way through the purple atmosphere of good fellow- ship, state that the boys are having the time of their lives in Old Be- midg, and that the little city is taking care of its visitors in a most commendable manner. A goodly portion of the Walker herd went up last evening and this afternoon’s train will convey those who were unable to get away at this time. The Bemidji Pioneer which is printed with purple ink this week is covering the convention in great TOWNS UNDER WATER! Southern Illinois Cities Suffering From the: Flood, CREST ' PROBABLY REACHED Mississippi |s Now Stationary and the Water Will, It Is Expected, Begin to Recede Slowly Within a Day or Two. St. Louis, June 22. — Sweeping through the valley at the rate of four- teen miles an hour the flood tide of the Mississippi river, it is belleved, has reached its crest and after remain- ing stationary for a day will slowly begin to recede. The river rose a little. more than one inch during the night and considerable additional ground has been inundated up stream. Ceaselessly toiling through the night gangs of laborers piled thousands of sacks of sand to form temporary levees for the protection of East St. Louis. Venice, Madison and Granite City, 111, north of East St. Louis and situ- ated along the river, are suifering from the flood. In Venice houses west of Main street are standing in water seven feet deep and many have been aban- doned. The occupants are living in tents wherever high ground can be found in the vicinity. Kaw and Missouri Receding. Kansas City, June 22.—An absolute lack of rains throughout the valleys of the Kaw and Missourl rivers dur- ing the past twenty-four hours has given the flood waters of the streams and tributaries an opportunity to re- cede and again hope that the flood of 1908 will be a thing of the past has been established. Both rivers at this point have been stationary for twenty- four hours. Business in the flood dis- tricts is again assuming normal con- ditions and train service in and out of the city is improving rapidly. CHEMIST FINDS POISON. Proof of How Mrs. Gunness Disposed . of Her Victims. Laporte, Ind., June 22.—The first positive information on the manner in which Mrs. Bella Gunness disposed of shape, by spreading the gospel of good humor along with the day’s doings, to the visitors every after- noon. Congratulations Bemidji; you are delivering the goods, sure enough. Crookston Journal: The returning herd from the browse atthe state meet- ing of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks in session at Bemidji believe that Bemidji is a child worthy of its parent and has established a precedent in the entertainment of Elkdom. The ladies reception was one of the excellently conducted social events the Crookston Bills had witnessed for some time and the visitors are all highly pleased with the honor and welcome accorded them on all sides by the live Elks of the Bemidji lodge and the ladies of Bemidji generally. Amusements surround the visitors on all sides and the Bemidji herd treat all Elks like brothers, seeing in the eye of a stranger Elk a suffi- ciency to entitle him to the gate key of the city. The following story was told by Bl- len Thorneycroft Fowler in the London P. T. O.: “At a dinner party one even- ing after my warriage the conversa- tion, which was general, took a literary turn, and a gentleman sitting next to me, who did not know the identity of Mrs. Felkin with Ellen Thorneyeroft Fowler, began to descant on the way young authors spoil themselves with tricks. To emphasize his point he sald, ‘What can be more horrible than Miss Fowler’s trick of saying “Everybody laughed?’’ There was a dead pause. He evidently expected me to make a re- mark, for when I did not speak he turned and said: ‘Oh, don’t you know Miss Fowler's books? Haven't you read any of them? ‘I wrote them,’ I replied, and then, indeed, ‘everybody laughed.’ ” BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. The condition of Representative A. A. Wiley of Alabama, who has been critically il at Hot Springs, Va. is decidedly worse. The Philippine government has ap- propriated 100,000 pesos for the enter- tainment of the Atlantic fleet during its visit at Manila. Theodore F.

One thing that prompted Mr. Wor- den to take the action, he sald, was the receipt of information from a Mis- sourl man, whose name and address he refuses to give, who declares that if the reward holds good he will pro- duce Mrs. Gunness at any time at some place seventy miles from where he lives. Mr. Worden declines to place this information in the hands of the authorities. WOMAN FIGHTS TIGER. Saves Her Husband From Being Torn to Pieces. Los Angeles, Cal, June 22.—To save her hushand from being torn to pieces by a tiger Mrs. Herman Gerson, armed with a pitchfork, engaged the infuri- ated beast in battle.

The rul- Ings are made in a group of important cases involving the rates on lumber, shingles and other forest products from points in the Willamette valley to San Francisco and from Washing- ton, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Brit- ish Columbia to Eastern and Southern markets. Tn the case of the Oregon and Wash- ington Lumber Manufacturers’ asso- clation against the Union Pacific and other roads, Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers’ association and others agalnst the Northern Pacific and oth- ers and the Southwest Washington Lumber Manufacturers’ association against the Northern Paclfic, involving a general advance in lumber rates, in many cases 20 and 25 per cent, from North Pacific coast territory to points east thereof, which became. effective November last; the commission makes a geographic decision in its action. On the ground of unreasonableness it orders restoration of the previous rates west of a line drawn from Pem- bina, N. D., through Grand Forks, Council Bluffs, Kansas City and Sioux City to Port Arthur, Tex., along the Kansas City Southern railway, and in- cluding all points east of that line “which now take the same rates as any point between and including Sioux City and Kansas City.” A part of the increase to the more distant markets lying east of the Mis- souri river is permitted to stand.

He'll have the lamp over!” shivered a nervous young woman ag the human gyroscope stumbled over the edge of a rug, clawed at the table for support, then trinmphantly continued elreling. Conversation froze on pallid lips as they sat awalting the inevita. ble crash. Only the voice of the small boy’s mother rippled along serenely. The nervous young woman could stand it no longer. In sheer despall 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, run around in the opposite direction, dar ling.

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 orn the subject. > “What did yer mean by that there long word yer used in yer sermon?” he began. “Oh, 1 see you do not know what 2 phenomenon is,” replied the minister “Well, have you ever seen a COW graz Ing in a field In which thistles wer¢ growing?" “Yes; many a time.” “That is not a phenomenon. And n¢ doubt you have often listened to a lark slnging merrily away up In the clouds.” “Yes.” “That, again, is not a phenomenon But if you saw that cow sitting on ¢ thistle singing like a lark that would be a phenomenon.,” — Liverpool bler cury. - 'This Makes It Very Plain. The meaniug of the word “swastika” Is “It is w * 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 eramprus. “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 science as that of the all Deity itself. The swastika is found heading the religioug 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 aad delicate operators in Britain, thoughtful of the patient and carefu} 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 ia 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 I should say your tie is not quite straight.”-~Londen Globe. NATURE'S WARNING. Bemidji People Must Recognize and Heed It. Kidney ills come quietly—mys- teriously, 5 . But nature always warns you. Notice the kidney secretions. See if the color is unhealthy— If there are settlings and sedi- ment, ‘Passages frequent, scanty, pain- ful. It's time then to use Doan's Kidney Pills, To ward off Bright’s disease or diabetes. Doan’s have done great work in Bemidji. Frank Engles, living at 415 | Minnesota Ave,, Bemidji, Minn., says; ¢I have no hesitancy ‘in publicly recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills to others as I am confident that my testimonial will be the means of bringing relief to some sufferer, There was a dull aching in the small of my back, for many months, my kidneys were very much disordered, the secretios being unnatural in appearance and at times there was a great deal of soreness about the kidneys, At last I decided to try Doan’s Kidney Pills and procured a box at The Owl Drug Store, I started using them carefully as directed, the pain disappeared, my secretions have become clear and I am pleas- ed with results received.” - For sale by all dealers.

Women and children are more apt to puffer from somnambulism than men, possibly because thelr brain s more delicately polsed and therefore more easlly influenced by dreams. A som- nambulist nearly always walks with his eyes wide open, the pupils being much dilated. He is a dreamer able to act his dreams, and in this state the timid become fearless, the weak strong and the stupid brilliant. Their som- nambulistic condition presents many curious anomalies. The somnambulist’s sense of hearing is not often suspend- ed, for, generally speaking, he will an. swer questions even if whispered, but often the same ear is deaf to loud nolses. The sense of smell is frequent- ly altered. Brimstone and phosphorus are sald to be pleasant scents to the somnambulist, and many cannot tell wine from water, as the sense of taste becomes perverted or entirely suspend- ed. Some people walk periodically in their sleep, while others do it spasmod. ically. One German doctor goes to the extreme of asserting that somnam. bulists are attracted by the moon, and thus they walk on roofs of houses and at great heights because they derive a pecullar pleasure from contemplating the moon. A Tiny Death Dealer. A most agonizing death is caused by an insect half the size of a pea—a small black spider. It lives in Peru, in South America, but a few speck mens have reached Hurope in ghip- loads of timber. Not long ago a dock laborer was unlucky enough to come upon one in the Victoria docks while unloading a bark. The tiny death deal- er dropped upon the back of his hand and dug its fangs into his flesh. The bite itself was nothing, but as soon as the polson began to work the man fainted with pain. Soon afterward he came to and lived three days before the end came. This spider’s venom scorches up the blood vessels and spreads through all the tissues, caus- Ing the most fearful agony a human being can have to bear. The worst of 1t is that the victim lives at least twc days, enduring unthinkable anguish the whole time. This splder is luckily not common. It is known as the “specky,” and when a man who knows what the bite means is bitten he gen- erally blows out his brains.—London Chronicle. Extreme Obedience. The Youngs had unexpectedly drop- ped In on the Baileys just as dinner was about to be served. The hostess, considerably disturbed, called her little daughter Helen aside and explained that there would not be enough oysters to go around and added, “Now, you and I will just have some of the broth, and please do not make any fuss about it at the table.” Little Helen promised to remember and say nothing. But when the oys- ters were served Helen discovered a small oyster in her plate which had ac- cldentally been ladled up with the broth. This puzzled the little girl, as she could not recall any instructions covering this contingency. After studying a few moments she dipped the oyster up with her spoon and, hold: ing it up as high as she could, piped out, “Mamma, mamma, shouldn’t Mrs. Young have this oyster too?’—Chris. tian Register, _— — = A Mother's Sacrifice. Legends In India run that if a wom- an stricken with leprosy suffers her- 8elf to be burled alive the disease will not descend to her children. There was in the northwest provinces of In- aa the wife of a gardener on whom the loathsome malady had falien. Chil- dren were born to her. The disease grew worse. She importuned her hus- band to bury her alive. He at last, yielding to her prayers, summoned his son. The two dug the grave, and four neighbors assisted at the sepulture. So the woman died. These facts were in- vestigated In a magistrate’s court and | ‘were proved. A Curious Plant. “A curlous plant,” sald an eminent botanist, “Is the wild tamarind or juba plant of the riverside and waste places of tropical America, and very strange are its effects upon the nonruminant apimals that feed upon its young shoots, leaves, pods and seeds. It causes horses to losé the hair from their manes and tails, has a similar ef- fect upon mules and donkeys and re- duces pigs to complete nakedness, Horses are sald to recover when fed exclusively on corn and grass, but the new halr is of different color and tex- ture from the old, so that the animal s never quite the same as It was. One animal of which I personally knew after feeding on the plant lost its hoofs and had to be kept in slings unti they grew and hardened again. Rumi- nant animals are not thus affected, and the growth of the plant is actually en- couraged In the Bahamas as a fodder plant for cattle, sheep and goats. The difference 1: probably due to changes effected upon it in the chewing of the cud.” A Trying Position. An East Indian paper prints the fof- lowing, written by a native ‘subordi- nate in his dlary while In a very try- ing position: “Up a tree where I adhere with much pain and discomposure while big tiger roaring in a very awful manner on the fire line. This is very inconsiderate tiger and causes me great griefs, as I bave before reported to your honor, This 1s two times he spoiled my work, coming and shouting like thunder and putting me up a tree and making me behave like an insect. It is a very awk- ward fate to me, and the tiger is most nconsiderate.” The Widow’s Dower. It is certain that “dower,” the estate for life which the widow acquites at her husband’s death, was not known among the early Saxons. In the laws of King Edmund the widow is directed to be supported wholly out of the per- sonal estate. Dower s generally as- cribed to the Normans, but it was first introduced into the feudal system by Bmperor Frederick II, who was con- temporary with the English Henry IXL, about 1250. : Sensible Dog. “Talking about the intelligence of an~ tmals” said young Kanebiter, “why, T baye a dog up at the farm that’s sim- ply wonderful.” 3 “How 507" said Pitken. “Why, you see, I was out shootlng one day when I found a large, hand- some dog lying on the ground moaning with pain. Some ruffian had shot it in the leg. I carried it home, bandaged the wound and finally cured the poor beast. Some months after that I was compelled to travel a lonely road after dark when suddenly Ponto, who ac- companied me, growled warningly. The next moment a highwayman step- ped out of the bushes and put a pistol to my head.” “Ah,” cried the listener, “I see! Thereupon the grateful dog seized the robber by the throat.” “Not at all. The man robbed me easily enough—took watch, purse, ev- erything.” “But Ponto?”’ “Ban off as fast as his legs would carry him. That’s the point—don’t you see? Animal instinct—didn’t want to get shot again.” — Illustrated London News. zove and Death. Very closely love and death dwell to- gether—high up in the world of nature and low down! The following well authenticated story comes from North- amptonshire: A sparrow hawk was killed when feeding her young, Four days later when the nest was exam- ined it was found that the little male bird, working alone for the family, had brought home forty-eight birds— viz, six larks, nine swallows, one bull- finch, seven robins, six sparrows, six hedge sparrows, nine blue tits, three chaffinches and one wren. ‘What a spirit of dutifulness along with ferocity is here exhibited on the part of the small widower hawk, who evidently thought that the best way of respecting the memory of his departed consort was to feed her children welll And in doing this how absolutely ob- livious nature had rendered him of the feelings of the poor larks, swal- lows, bullfinches and robins, whose offspring—or the parents themselves— his relentless parental affection thus annexed! The direst cruelty animated by the tenderest love! The most sav- age egotism prompted by an entire un- selfishness! Such are some of the problems which nature furnishes, but will not solve.—London Telegraph.
