The boys bit like a hungry bass.—Bemidji Sen- tinel. Our ’steemed contemporary The Bemidji Sentinel is again on guard and with the pulp wood gun has shot another wad tinctured with the stench of undiluted failure as an ex- ponent of the Fourth Estate. The little “dig” which “Growler” has given us not only shows a desire to distort facts but connotes a pusilan- imous pessimism born of rank regen- eracy as regards\ the conduct of a clean newspaper. It isa source of curiosity to us to discover that of the scores of notices found in other papers who have noted our stand about the continuance of the daily, the Sentinel prints the only deroga- tory remark. The Pioneer furnishes work to a good sized force and pays out songethiug like $11;000 a year in salaries, and the money which is brought into Bemidji the greater per centage is retained here, invested and spent in the city. Taken per- sonally, this idea which has soured on the colonel’s stomach until he was forced to emit it, is as funny a bit of unconscious humor as we have noted for some time. The Bemidji Pioneer will suspend publication unless it receives better support. It certainly deserves it. The world would know little of Be- midji were it aot for the Pioneer, which has advertised Bemidji and boomed Bemidji in season and out of season.—St. Cloud Times. South Dakota Teacher Dead.

Fisk,who has anncunced ‘his candidscy as repiblican can- didate for the ncminaticn of county atterney, is well known by nearly every person in Beltrami county as a lawyer of experience. Mr. Fisk’s policy for just, equit- able and uniform assessment of all property, both real and per- sonal, that is subject to taxes as the law provides. He believes in economy in conducting the affairs and business of the county and in keeping down the expenses as a means of reducing the indebted= ness of the county. If elected, Mr. Fisk ~would pursue the policy of strict enfor. cement of the triminal laws and would hold a careful, conservative hand over the treasury of the county by refusing to recognize unjust bills, or any bills that have a tendency towards extravagence. Mr. Fisk has practiced law in the courts of the State of Minne- sota since 1888 and his experience in court work would be a valuable assest to the county, GETS HEART FAILURE. Aged Minister Who Intended to Wed Ten-Year-Old Girl. Ellicot City, Md., Aug. 2%.—A license was issued for the marriage of Rev. George S. Fitzhugh, aged sixty-seven years, to Lulu V. Frasier, a ten-year- old girl. The proposed marriage has not yet taken place. Mr. Fitzhugh suffered a severe attack of heart disease after obtaining the license and he is now said to be critically ill. When the license was secured a necessary let- ter of assent from the girl’s mother was exhibited to the clerk: It is said Rev. Mr. Fitzhugh desires to make the child his heiress and that his ob- ject cannot be otherwise obtained. o e Some folks call anything made of flour, water, yeast and salt—*‘bread.” : tent to use ordinary flour at an ordlpar}{ price—to have every other batch a failure 4 They are con- —half of it eaten under protest—half dried up and thrown away.

Sher- man, Republican candidate for vice president, has made the announcement that at the conference with President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill it was developed that the consensus of opin- ion was favorable for the nomination of Governor Hughes as candidate to succeed himself. e said he spoke for no individaal, but that this belief was based on the fact that Hughes’ candidacy was broader than the ques- Uons involved in New York state poli- tics. Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock was present when Mr. Sherman stated the result of the conference and he as- sented to all the yice presidential nominee said. The statement unques- tionably will put an end to organized opposition to the candidacy of Goy- ernor Hughes, although it is possible that certain individuals will continue to voice their protest against the con- tinuance of Mr. Hughes as the head of the Republican ticket in,the state, With President Roosevelt, Mr. Taft, Mr. Sherman, Mr. Hitcheock, several New York members of congress and other.state leaders for Mr. Hughes it is not believed possible that the fight against his renomination can gain any ‘headway. Tn fact political leaders are now predicting that no other name will be presented to the convention. FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE. Rich American Who Committed Sui- cide in England. Columbus, O., Aug. 2i.—John P, Reid, who committed suicide in Eng- land, was a fugitive from justice here, having been indicted for assault on bis own daughter, He was a wealthy contractor and fled the country after his indictment. Nothing was known of his whereabouts here until the dis- patch from London telling of the sui- cide. The assault happened about a yeap ago and Reid was out on $10,000 bonds. Halevy and the Duc de Morny. It may not be generally known in what circumstances Halevy owed his advancement in the French civil serv- ice to the Duc de Morny. The duke, an amateur of the arts, had begun to write the libretto of a comic opera of which Offenbach was to provide the musie, He found that he had not the time—or perhaps that he had not the talent—to finish it. He sought a collaborator, and Halevy came to the rescue and kept his secret. When, therefore; the office of the ministry of Algeria, which he held, was suppressed he had no hesita- tion in asking his august patron for the post which he sought on the Journal Officiel. “The very thing!” exclajmed the duke. “There Is six months’ vaca- tion when the chamber is not sitting, 80 that you will have plenty of time to write for the stage.” And he gave him a note to the head of the depart- ment, consisting of the simple words, “Make arrangements to give the bearer the post for which he will ask you.”’— ‘Westminster Gazette.

Expression of People’s Will. Hot: Springs; Va.,, Aug. 2:.—“The people have ruled through the Repub- lican party.” This-is William H. Taft’s Bryan’s challenge, “Shall the people rule?” The answer was made in an address the Republican presidential candidate made before a gathering of several thousand Virginia Republicans who came. to the mountains to see and hear him and to celebrate “Virginia day.” To make his point perfectly clear Mr. Taft referred to the first election of Mr. McKinley “as one of the most intelligent and effective ex- pressions of popular will ever mani- fested to the world and the main- tenance of the gold standard and a protective tariff by the administration was a correct interpretation of the people’s vill. This was shown to be 80 by even a greater majority for the party in 1900 and a still greater major- ity in 1904, when Roosevelt was elect- ed, and we may well submit to the country whether his administration hls.s not expressed the will of the peo- ple.” Preceding Mr. Taft in a short ad- dress Congressman C. S. Slemp had this to say in answer to the same question: “Can it be possible that he (Bryan) had reference to the political situation in Virginia? Does he, not know that under existing laws 60 por cent of .the white and 90 per cent of .t the colored population of voting age have been disfranchised? Does he not know that they have no voice in the government of either this state or this nation and can he call this a rule of the people? No wonder Mr. Bryan will make no political speeches in the South, Conditions here do not square with his battle cry.” NEEDED IN MINNESOTA, Johnson Cannot Give Much Time to National Campaign. Chicago, Aug. 2 .—Governor Charles Haskell of Oklahoma, treasurer of the Democratic’ national committee, has arrived at Democratic headquarters and began systematizing his efforts to secure contribution funds. He said money was coming in in fair amounts and that there would be enough to finance a good campaign. | Governor John A. Johnson of Minne- i sota, who was a caller at Democratic national headquarters, informed Chair- man Mack that, as he had been draft- ed as the party's standard bearer in Minnesota, he would have to devote most of his time during the campaign to work in that state. He would, how- ever, do everything possible for the pational ticket so far as loyalty to his Minnesota colleagues would permit. will confer with members of the Dem- ocratic state central committee of his home state as_to how much of. his time will be demanded by local poli- tics. He will then inform Mr. Mack to what extent he will be able to lend his strength to the general campaign. -WOMEN UNDER ARREST. Wife and Mother-in-Law Held for the Murder of lowan.

A Ger- man savant is Investigating the mat- ter. But there is scarcely a dolt who could not give him points and has not dreamed centuries in seconds. The dream, it may be stated, comes in the few seconds before the awakening and has no relation to timne or space. This is clear enough to the man who. has ever been placed under an anaes- thetic for a short while and found time and space eliminated. As an experiment this writer was placed under a whiff of chloroform by a doctor. Absolute unconscioustess supervened, then a return of con- sciousness; the questions of the uni- verse, up through layers of conscious- ness, with always the feeling, “Now I have solved it,” and the “No” and the #Yes” alternating through centuries of thought, and then the quizzical face of the doctor, remembered after a mil-| lion years. “How long have you been under?”’ The experimenter struggled up and saw the doctor with his watch in hand. “Ten seconds,” the doctor said, and the dreRmer had been out- side time for a timé that has no meas- ure,—London Chronicle. A Great Artist Enraged. Alma-Tadema has told a story of the fate of two unsuccessful pictures of his student days. One.of them was re- turned unsold by the committee of the Brussels exhibition in 1859. The sub- ject was a house on fire, with people rescuing the victims, The artist’s fel- low students were asked into Alma- Tadema’s studio and were invited to Jump through the canvas, the owner of it leading the way by leaping head first through the oily flames. The other unsuccessful effort was a large sized square picture that came back again and again to its creator’s easel until at last it was cut out of its frame and given to an old woman to use as a table cover. The picture was praised by at least one person who appreciated its excel- lence, so Alma-Tadema used to de- clare, for the old woman was wont to remark’ that it was much better than those common oilcloth things that al- ways let the water through, as the ple- ture of Alma-Tadema’s making was a good thick one, with plenty of paint on it.—Minneapolis Journal, The Supposed Life on Mars. Not only do the observations we have gcanned lead us to the conclusion that Mars at this moment is inhabited, but they land us at the further one that these denizens are-of an order whose acquaintance was worth the making. ‘Whether we ever shall eome to con- verse with them in any niore instant way is a question upon which science at present has no data to decide. More important fo us is the fact that they exist, made all the more’ interesting by their precedence of us in the path of evolution. Their presence certainly ousts us from any unique or self cen- tered position in the solar system, but 80 with the world did the Copernican system the Ptolemaic, and the world survived this deposing change. So may man. To all who have a cosmo- planetary breadth of view it cannot but be pregnant to contemplate extra mundane life and to realize that we have warrant for believing that such life now inhabits the planet Mars.— Professor Lowell in Century. A Big Snowfall. ‘fhe heaviest fall of snow that ever took place in England occurred in 1615. The snow commenced falling on the 16th of January, 1615, aad continued every day until the 12th of March fol- lowing. It covered the earth to such a depth that passengers, both horse and foot, passed over gates, hedges and walls, which had been: obliterated by the white sheet. On the 12th of March it began to decrease and so by little "and little consumed and wasted away ill the 28th of May. A boavy fall econrred 1n 8 tinndinl | shark and was surprised to hear voices 1020; the suow fallliiy thirwen s and nights with littie or no intermis- sion. One of the heaviest falls on a single day occurred on the 21st of February, 1762, the snow in some places being from ten to twelve feet deep. He Kept Count. A famous animal trainer was talking to a reporter in New York. He said: “The secret of animal training is gen- tleness. Nothing sudden or brusque must be done. may anger an animal more than a kick In the ribs. Sudden, brusque, unex- pected things never go, no matter how well they are meant. Once I was showing in Scotland. We trainers sup- ped one aight with a Scotch admirer. The old man was the soul of hospital- ity, but I admit I was rather startied when he leaned toward me and said: “‘Stick in, man Conklin, stick in. Yer frien’ Coot's twa muffins aheid o ye Just a Fish Story. Forty years ago, when my father was captain of an East India trading ship, while off the coast of Africa near the equator the ship’s carpenler was taken slek and dled. He was sewed up in canvas, and with him were sewed his kit of tools and grindstone for ballast to sink him. Services were held and the body committed to the sea. Four days later the ship’s boy fell overboard, and a great shark came up under the stern and swallowed the boy before he could be reached. The next day the shark was still fol- lowing the ship. A shark hook was baited and put over the stern, and the shark was caught, but was so large it could not be taken on board, and they were obliged to shoot him. He looked 80 plump and large the mate, who was an old whaler, wanted to go over the side and cut the fish open. He was lowered over and cut a hole in the and on looking in saw the ship’s boy turning the grindstone for the ship's carpenter, who was sharpening his ax to cut their way out. My father, who Is eighty years old, can vouch. for this that it is a fish story.—Boston Journal. His Old College Chums. A conductor sent a new brakeman to put some tramps off the train. They Wwere riding In a box car. The brake- man dropped into the car and said, “Where are you fellows going?’ “To Atchison.” “Well, you can’t go to Atchison on this train, so get off.” “You get,” came the reply, and as the brakeman was looking into the busi- mess end of a gun he took the advice glven him and “got.” He went back to the caboose, and the conductor asked him if he had put the fellows off. “No,” he answered, “I did not have the heart to put them off. They want to go to Atchison, and, besides, they are old schoolmates of mine.” The conductor used some very strong lan- guage and then said he would put them off himself. He went over to the car and met with the same experience as the brakeman. When he got back to the caboose, the brakeman said, “Well, did you put them off?’ “Naw, they're schoolmates of mine too.”—Wellingtop (Kan)) News.
