SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM JORNSON WILL " MAKE THE RACE Minnesota Governor Accepts Third Nomination. REGRETS ACTION TAKEN 8ays His Acceptance Is Against His Better Judgment, but Duty to His Party Compels Him to Yield—Has Been Declared the Nominee and Will Put Up the Best Fight in His Power. St. Paul, Aug. 21.—Governor John- son has announced that he would ac- cept the nomination of the state Dem- ocratic convention at Minneapolis. He said: “Setting aside any personal consid- eration and my own feelings In this matter duty to party compels me to make the race, but I assure you it is against my better judgment. “I have given this matter the closest thought and my first opinion that a third nomination is unwise and against the principles of the party is un- changed, yet I can hardly see how I can get away from making the race without putting the party in a hole. I regret this action and wish it never ‘had happened. “Had a committee been named to inform me of the honor conferred and asked my acceptance my answer ‘would have been prompt, but no such opportunity has been given me. The nomination has been made, I have been declared the nominee and so there you are. It really leaves me in an embarrassing position and with the party in a similar position, so you see the only thing I can do is to yield.” An effort was made to secure the governor's opinion on the reception of his acceptance by the public at large following his original declaration to the effect that he would not have the momination under any consideration, but he could not be drawn into any argument. “I do not care whether it makes me votes or loses me votes,” said Gov- ernor Johngon. “I said I did not want the nomination, the convention has forced it upon me and now I will put up the best fight in my power. I owe much to the party and if it thinks I am necessary to its success why I cannot do anything else but yield. It has left me without any other alterna- tive in the matter.” TWO GIRLS MISSING. Daughters of Wealthy Wisconsin Man Probably Kidnapped. Kenosha, Wis., Aug. 21.—Detectives are trylng to penetrate the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Gertrude and Dorothy Beihn, daugh- ters of Jacob Beihn, one of the wealth- lest residents of Southern Wisconsin. The girls, eleven and fourteen years old, respectively, have not been seen since their parents left them sitting in a hammock on the lawn at home Mon- day night. Many people believe the #irls were kidnapped and are held for ransom. Members of the household say that Monday night a closed carriage was driven up to the Beihn gate. It is de- clared that a man was heard sharply commeanding the girls to enter and that they obeyed him. The horses then were whipped and the victims rapidly carried away. After an unsuccessful search by relatives and local authorities Mr. Belhn came to Kenosha and engaged detectives to work upon the case. PLATT OPPOSES HUGHES. Senator Says New York's Governor Gannot Be Re-Elected. New York, Aug. 21. — Senator Thomas C. Platt is out against the re- momination of Charles E. Mughes. kauding the organization leaders who oppose the governor as “good boys” he said: “These leaders are perfectly correct in prediciing that Hughes cannot be re-clected and I am with them in maintajning that his candidacy will serionsly jeopardize Taft’s chances of oarrying New York. “Bryan is now whistling through a ivoyard, but he may come out of cometery and have a c¢hance of !mnon if Hughes again heads the cket. “I have no candidate, but I believe that if Zpenkor ‘Wadsworth were nom- tated He wonld not oply h8lp Taft t would be the hext governor of 6w York."” KiHed Returning From Funeral. . Mdgneapolis, Aug. 21. — Charles Meade, aged sixty, was struck and in- standly killed by a Milwaukee train. He Was returning from the funeral of the infamt son of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Ammsworth of St. Louis Park. Mr. Meade was evidently ungware that the train was so close to him. He was struck squarely and hurled many feet. Bridge Drops Into Canyon.

CONFERENCE ON STRIKE. Government Intervenes and Railroad Officials Go to Ottawa. ‘Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 2.—Depar- ture for the East of the heads of the engineers’ and trainmen's branches of organized railway labor was current talk among strikers. J. H. McVety is also absent, presumably at Ottawa, where a little reunion of the warring factors in the strike is to take place as the result, it is alleged, of the govern- ment’s intervention. Prominent offi- clals of the Canadian Pacific railway also disappeared quietly and it is as- sumed that they, too, will join the circle in the East. .

Health Is Worth Saving, and Some Bemidiji People Know How to Save It. - Many Bemidji people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all dis- eases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is a Bemidji citizen’s recommenda- tion: Mrs, A. Van Vard, living at 1218 Beltrami Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I have used'Doan’s Kidney Pills with highly satis- factory results and can truthfully recommend them to anyone suffer- ing from kidney complaint. For some time I had a dull pain in the small of my back which caused me much discomfort. Other symptoms showed that my kidneys were disordered and were the cause of my suffering, I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised for such cowplaint, and deciding to try them, procured a box at the Owl Drug Store, I used them carefully as directed, soon the pains disappeared and now my kidneys are much stronger. 1 am confident that the relief I received from the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills will prove perma- nent and it gives me great pleasure to recommend them to others.” For sale by all dealers.

Of the four witnesses upon whom Coroner Woodruff had depended for the success of his first riot inquest only one appeared on the stand. That witness displayed an unusually poor memory when confronted with incisive questions and the absence of the other three made the coroner’s task futile. The departure of all except two which ‘engines are handled~ i~ the roundhouses caused a marked ten- dency on the part of the firemen to walk out. Opinion differs, however, as many firemen do not think at this time it is quite right and so in order to learn the feeling of the majority a secret poll is being held.

It is qertain, how- ever, that the immediate return of nor- mal conditions is the goal sought in all quarters. This can be accom- plished only by the withdrawal of the troops from the streets and the abro- gation of the orders which, in many Instances, require the presentation of Bpecial orders before citizens can pass sentries statloned at certaln street corners. .The regulations of the city officials regarding the early closing of all business houses and the prohibition of. the sale of liquors within tlie city limits are still in force. Negro refugees continue to leave town in increasing numbers. Neigh- boring villages and hamlets, however, are in’' many instances refusing the negroes a haven and most of the col- ored people who are departing are bound for communities at a distance from this city. Many of the negroes seleoted Missouri as their destination, but many started for Chicago, Peoria and other Illinois cities. Later in the day the cavalry regi- ment was ordered to return to their homes. This leaves only one regi- fent of infantry on duty here. PICKED UP IN MIDLAKE. ©One of Yacht's Crew of Two Perishes During Storm. Milwaukee, Aug. 21.—Beaten about by a storm of wind and rain from Mon- day night until Wednesday night the ttle schooner rigged yacht Juanita of flwaukee was picked up in midlake by the steamer Helena and brought here in tow, with David Beebe and his dead - shipmate, Philip Thompson, aboard. The death of Thompson oc- curred while the little yacht was in midlake and in the height of the storm. Thompson had been steadily at the tiller for hours when he arose to put on a coat. Without a word he dropped to the bottom of the boat dead. As the Juanita was being towed near the Milwaukee harbor she sank out of sight. Wealthy American Suicide Bournemouth, Eng., Aug. 21.—John Pedman Reid, said to be a wealthy Ameriean, was found dead in his apArtments here. He had shot him- self with a revolver, which was found at his side. An inquest has been held, the verdict of which was “self-destruc- tion during temporary insanity.” Definite Form. Chicago, Aug. 21.—All plans for the conduct of the Democratic campaign will be submitted to William J. Bryan at his conference here Saturday with members of the national committee for his final approval. Under the di- rection of National Chairman Mack the heads of the various bureaus of the national committee have been bus- ily shaping their plans into definite form for submission to Mr. Bryan, who, it is expected, will make such suggestions regarding them as he may deem necessary. The conference Sai- urday will last all day and will be the first of a series of meetings between the candidate and the national com- mittee that will, it is understood, be held at intervals throughout the cam- paign to discuss the progress of the presidential struggle and lay plans to meet arising conditions. John W. Kern, candidate for vice president, will likely attend the coming confer- ence. CONGRATULATES JOHNSON. Bryan Sends Message to Governor of Minnesota. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 21.—The unani- mous action of the Minnesota Demo- eratic state convention in renominat- ing Governor John A. Johnson for a third term was gratifying news to Willlam J. Bryan, who at once for- warded a telegram of congratulations. “It is a great compliment to Gov- ernor Johnson to be nominated for a third term by the unanimous action of his convention,” said Mr. Bryan, “and Thave no doubt that his candidacy will greatly strengthen the national ticket in that state.” MARKET QUOTATIONS.
