The subjoined letter was submitted to the Sentinel for publication, by Mr. Syverson, who is a member of the Tax League, but for some reason best known to “Old Allan” it was refused. The Pioneer is not ashamed to publish it: “Battle River, Minn., Aug. 10th, *08 “Editor Bemidji Sentinel: “I am only a farmer, but have lived in this county for the last seven years. And I think I have a right to say something to the business men. “We farmers have always been with Henry Funkley, and it was the farmer vote that elected him to county attorney. And we have found that we can depend on him. He told us two years ago that he would clear up the Dahl case if we would elect him; and he did. Now he wants to go to St. Paul to the legislature and he says he will give us state roads. He kept his promise before and will do it again. "It is just as good for the busi- ness men to have good roads in the country as it is for the farmers and I think that the business men should help us to elect Funkley. What is good for the farmer is good for the business man. ‘“The trouble is this year that so many of our farmers go to Dakota to work and can not be here to vote at the primaries, but the business men will all be at the polls and they should be made to see that it is just as much to their interest to elect Funkley as it is for the farmer. “So, altoghter now for Funkley and State Roads. “Yours Truly, “Peder Syverson.” Minnesota’s Great Fair. In making your plans for the next month you can hardly afford to overlook the fact that the Minnesota state fair, the greatest show of its kind on the continent. will take place at Hamline Aug 31 to Sept. 5, and that it will be bigger and better than ever before. There is no nced of exaggeration in describing the Minnesota state fair. It is a credit to the North Star state that it should have the|* best state fair in the country, and this fact is generally conceded. But one other agricultural fair in America even approaches it, and that is the Toronto show, which it is necessary to assign to second place. The fair is truly representative of the whole state, of all its people, of all its industries and of all its resources. It has always been that, but this year, under the. initiative of C. N. Cosgrove and his assistasts, it will be a bigger and moreé entertain- ing exhibit than it has ever been before. Becduse this is.the semi- centexnnial of statehood special effort has been made, and the result is certain to be a truly marvelous exposition of Minnesota’s vast wealth and progress. f The state fair has always had the liberal - support of the people of Minnesota, and this will furnish no exception to the rule. It deserves popular support, but state pride patronizing, and because it is not only ins}ructive but vastly enter- taining. Reed’s Views in Demand. The real merit of the Indian photos which R. W. Reed of this city has spent two years to collect is being recognized all over the northwest and also in the eastern states, and Mr. Reed is daily receiv- ing inquiries and commendatory letters relative thereto. Yesterday, Mr. Reed received the following letter, from the president of the Northwestern Photographer’s association: “St. Paul, Minn, August 13.— R. W. Reed, Esq., Bemidji, Minn: I have been informed that you have an excellent set of Indian protraits, and we are very anxious to get all exhibits of high value, we would consider it a favor if you will exhibit this set at the Northwestern Photog- raphers’ Convention, this month, the benifit of which shall be mutual. Trusting that you will comply with our request and have your set with us not later than August 26th, . re- spectfully yours, B. C. Colling, President.

White of St. Paul, who represents the St. Paul Carnival the C. C. submitted company (known as Patten company), has the following proposition to the directors of the Beltrami County Agricultural association, offering to bring the carnival company to Be- midji during the forthcoming county fair—September 24-25-26: “The C. C. Patten or St. Paul Carnival company will furnish the following free attractions on the fair grounds at Bemidji for three days (September 24-25-26, 1908): “The Hoffmans on bicycle whirl. High dive, 85 feet. ~ Baloon ascen- sion. Jumping the gap on bicycle. “Will also furnish ample adver- tising matter and properly - adver- tise the same; for the consideration of $300 in cash, and also free license and space on the streets of Bemidji city for three days for six shows, one Ferris wheel, one merry-go- ’round and fourteen small concession stands; no games of chance for money; no lunch; no drinks; no refreshments. . “All shows clean and moral. All paid attractions to close each day from 12 m. to 6 p. m. during said dates. Shows, two moving-picture shows, one show of staange animals, one snake show, one midget, one colored ministrel show.” It is doubtful if the proposition will be accepted. Splendid Meeting of Commandery. At the meeting of Elkanah Com- mandery, held last evening, the order of the temple was conferred on three candidates, and the meeting was a very interesting one. The acquisition of the three new members now gives Elkanah a membership of thirty-five, fourteen more having been initiated since the lodge was installed on June 10. At the conclusion of the business session a lunch was served and a social session held. Elkanah Commandery is suc- ceeding as an excellent organization beyond the expectations of those who were instrumental in having the lodge instituted here. A Delightful Parly. Decidedly the most unique and entertaining party of the season was given Thursday evening by Mr. and Mrs, E. E. McDonald of this city dt their residence on Lake Boulevard in honor of Miss Lenihan, Mr. McDonald’s neice, and Misses Blanche and Maude Pigue of Min- neapelis. W. B. MacLachlan’s large boat, the “North Star,” was chartered for the occasion and moored about 100 yards from the shore in front of the house. The porch, yard, lakeshore, and boat were prettily hung with festoons of Japanese lanterns, and a large bonfire was built near the lake. Music was furnished and the guests danced on the ‘North Star,” where punéh, bags of popcorn, pea- nuts and'ice-cream cones were dealt out with a lavish hand. = Later, those present gathered around the huge bonfire and were served with sandwiches and coffee, the latter being served by ‘‘Mr. Mac,” cooked coffee over the fire. Between fifty and sixty guests were present and all are loud in their praises of the hospitality of their hosts. g who Filed for County Attorney. A. M. Crowell filed this morning, with County ‘Auditor Wilmann, for the republican nomination for County attorney and announces that he will make a vigorous canvas for the nomination. This makes the fourth candidate, the other three being, D. H. Fisk and C, McKusick of this city and George Ericson of Spooner, and the contest promises to be a very inter- esting one.

Daniel Petrie, sheriff of Hubbard county, was a visitor in the city on business connected with his office Mr. Petrie states that he is confi- dent that he will be elected sheriff this fall, in spite of the determined efforts being made to oust him by a few of his enemies at Park Rapids | and Akeley.

Trouble at Meeting of Chicago Labor Organization. Chicago, . Aug. 15.—In the presence of Matthew Comerford of Minneapolis, general president of the Stationary Engineers' union, a dozen men were hurt, two of them severely, at a meet- Ing of the union. A dozen men at- tempted to bolt the meeting because three of their number had been ex- pelled and had started a separate or- ganization of engineers. Emil Massow, who led the bolters, struck Mike Walsh, serzeant-at-arms, over the head with a chair for closing the door at the order of the president, George W. Goding. Walsh turned on Massow and struck him several times, cutting a deep gash over Massow’s nose and almost breaking the organ. Then the fight became general. Charles Gralf, another of the bolters, sent in a riot call for the police. When the latter appeared no one seemed to wish to press charges and the wagon left without any passengers. President Comerford tried to get order. He had' come to Chicago to at- tend the meeting. “This'is an insult to the national officers,” said President Comerford. No attention was paid to him and the bolt went on.. Members of both fac- tions threaten to cause arrests. RUSSIAN CAPITAL IN DANGER OF CHOLERA Ruthorilies Taking Steps to Pre- vent Epidemie.

KILLS HIS SON AND DAUGHTER Religious Maniac Alsb Ends His Own Life. WIFE NARROWLY ESCAPES Succeeds in Eluding Murderer, but Not Until She Had Received a Seri- ous Waund—Perpairator of Deed Had Recently Bought a Lot in a Cemetery and Had Purchased a Coffin for Himself. Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 1.—Driven insane by religious mania H. J. Dufty, sixty years of age, attacked and killed his son and daughter with an axe and then cut his own throat with a razor, The tragedy eccurred in the extreme northwestern part of the city. Dufty lived at the | home of his son, Fred Dufty. He had been on the verge of violent insanity, it is said, for weeks, from religious enthusiasm. Dufty had attended a religious meot- ing and worked himself into a frenzy and he was suddenly seized with a desire to kill. Securing a sharp blad- ed axe he stealthily entered the bed- roum of his son while the latter lay asleep. He crept close to the side of the bed and, raising the weapon, brought it down with terrific force across the neck of the son. The blow was delivered with such tremendous force that the head of the victim was severed completely from the body. ‘With a maniacal shout Dufty rushed frem the house and down the street, ‘waving his bloody weapon. Reaching the house at 481 Northwest Lake ave- nue where his wife and daughter re- sided he opened the front door and entered. Kills His Daughter Next. Mrs. Ada Lacomb, the daughter, ‘with her mother, was in a rear room. Proceeding cautiously to this room the murderer opened the connecting doors. Mrs. Lacomb stood with her baek to him. Without a word of warning he awung the axe high in the air and eleft his daughter’s skull. Her whole head was crushed in from the blow. Mrs. Dufty fled through a rear door, closely pursued by the maniac, strik- ing at her with the axe. The woman sueceeded in eluding him, but not be- fG%e she had received a severe gash ap the elbow from the axe, swung by Dufty as he chased her. Mrs. Dufty’s orfes finally attracted the attention of nejghbors, who came to her aid. Dufty then walked to the street, where he drew a razor from his pooket and slashed his own throat, fnflicting frightful injuries, which will doubtless cause his death. Several weeks ago Dufty went to the Hvergreen cemetery and pur- chased a lot, explaining that he want- ed it for himself, son and daughter. ‘Three days ago he purchased a coffin for himself. 3 BIG ORDER FOR CARS. Harriman Roads in the Market for Six Thousand. New York, Aug. 1, —The Harriman roads are in the market for 6,000 steel cars. No order has been placed, but the car equipment companies have ‘been notified that this amount repre- sents the total of an éarly purchase by the Harriman lines and for more than half of the cars there have been filed specifications on which the equipment companies may base their bids. Competition between the com- panies s said to be keen, for the order, if filled, will be altogether the largest since the panic. The estimated cost of the 6,000 steel cars ranges all the way from $6,000,- 000 to $7,000,000. It is expected that the lower figure will prove nearer cor- rect, for the reason that the competi- tion between the car equipment com- panies may result in a cut price.
