WES WRIGHT. PASSED TO THE “‘GREAT BEYOND,” AT EARLY HOUR Infant Son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wash- burn, and James Scott Died Today. .John R. Washburn,]Jr., the twenty- months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Washburn, Sr., died at the Washburn home this morning at 6:30 o’clock, after an illness of some three weeks, with an ailment which has apparently been somewhat of an epidemic among the children of Bemidji. “Baby John” was taken ill on the 8thinst., and rapidly grew worse; and despite everything that could possibly be done for his relief, he gradually faded away to a mere shadow of his usual robustful health. The little fellow suffered terribly, most of the time, although the attending physician did splendid work in affording him temporary relief. Little John was possessed of a robust constitution for a baby and this fact prolonged the fatal termination of the disease. The funeral will be held from the residence of J. P. Lahr on Bemidji avenue, at 3 o’clock tomorrow after- noon. The body will be buried in Geeenwood cemetery. John Washburn, Jr., was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Wash- burn. He was born on December 26, 1906, being affectionately term- ed by Mr. and Mrs. Washburn as their “Christmas present.” The de- velopment of the little one had been watched with tender care by the parents, who had predicted a splen- did future for “‘Baby John.” ‘The taking off of the little one at the time when he was beginning to bud into splendid childhood has brought profound sorrow to the home of Mr. and Mrs: Washburn, and sincere sympathy is extended to them in this,their hour of trouble. James Scott, a local tailor, died this morning at 5:30 o’clock after an illnes of about a week with pneu- monia. Death was rather unex- pected, although it was known that Scott was very ill. The body of Scott will be held in this city until the, arrival of Mrs. Scott, who resides at Faribault, and who has been notified of the death of her husband. James Scott conducted a tailor shop opposite the Hotel Markham | in conjunction with a partner,whom he had in the business. He has lived in Bemidji for the past three years and had a large acquaintance in the city. He was taken ill several days ago, but his illness was of such a nature that from the first there was small hope of his recovery. The deceased ‘is survived by a wife and five children, all of whom reside at Faribault, where Mr. Scott himself lived for many years. It ismore than likely that the body of Mr. Scott will be taken to Faribault for interment. Enjovable Picnic. The members of the Methodist and Presbyterian Sunday schools, with several members of the congre- gations of both churches, “picnicked” at the outlet of the Mississippi river, on the east shore of Lake Bemidji, yesterday and reports are to the effect that the occasion was a most enjoyable one to both old and young. The picknickers rendezvoued at the Presbyterian church in the morning and were towed over to the outlet by the North Star and a barge. The entire day, until late in the afternoon was spent at the outlet, which is one of the most beautiful camping spots on Lake Bemidji. There were foot races, boat races, a splendid lunch and an all-around good-old fashoned time. The crowd returned home in the evening. Dr. Stanton Moves to Bemidji. Dr. D. L. Stanton and wife who have been residents of Cass Lake for the past five years, have moved from that place to Bemidji and will hereafter make Bemidji their permanent home. Dr. Stanton is a dentist of excel- len repute and will undoubtedly receive ’his share of patronage in his new field, as he comes highly recom- mended. The doctor has secured offices on the second floor of the Winter block, where he will be ready for patients in about ten days or two weeks. . Rural Letter Carriers at Fair. The State Association of Rural Letter Carriers will again establish heaequarters at the State Fair. The location on the grounds will be the same as last year, near the Press building on Fraternity row, just to the left as you go in from the St. Paul entrance at Snelling avenue. All carriers from this state, and neighboring states as well, will be cordially welcomed. A bureau of information, place to rest and leave packages, will be arranged for. Looks Good 1o Ibertson. M. E. Ibertson, who is a candidate for the republican nomination for coroner, returned to the city this morning, after having spent several days n the country north of Be- midji. Mr. Ibertson expresses himself as being well pleased with the situ- ation as he found it relative to his candidacy and does not hesitate to claim that he will be nominated for coroner at the orimaries to be held September 15. isale of his preparations which. are i which are said to accomplish remark- oITY East by His Ability to Remove Cat- arrhal Deafness and Stomach Troubles WithJHis New Discov2ry.

Vurpillat spends his time travel- ing from city to city, introducing these remedies and in this manner he bhas acquired the fortune he now possesses. He is said.to be a very remarkable character and a man with eccentric ideas; one of his beliefs is that a certain part of his income should be devoted to charitable work, and he is said to give thousands of dollars to the poor in each city that he visits. - His charitable work is original, as he is continually devising new methods for making his money give the most pleasure and relief possible. The most remarkable feature of Vurpillat’s work is what is known as his “Three-Minute removal of Deaf- ness, and his almost instantaneous relief of rheumatism and paralysis.” In cities visited by him with in the past year he has appeared nightly before large audiences and offered to make any one hear within less than three minutes, by the use of his New Discovery, if they wonld come upon the stage. Reports from Pittsburg, Detroit Cleveland and other cities seem to indicate that Vurpillat actu- ally did what he claimed. , The accounts of his work appeared in all the leading “dailies” of the country, and people have flocked to him from all parts. The sale of his preparations is said to reach enorm- ous proportions within a week after Vurpillat arrives in the city. Whether he will be as successful in Bemidji as else-where remains to be seen, 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 need of exaggeration in describing the Minnesota state fair. It is a credit to thé North Star state that it should have the best state fair in the rcountry, 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 hasalways been that, but this year, under the initiative of C. N. Cosgrove and his assistasts, it will be a bigger and more entertain- ing exhibit than it has ever been before. Because this is the semi- centennial 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. 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 alone would not provide 1t; its sup- port comes because it is worth patronizing, and because it is not only instructive but vastly enter- taining.

FAVORS GUARANTEE ~ OF BANK DEPOSITS Mr. Bryan Discusses Subject in Speech-at Topeka, Kan. Topeka, Kan., Aug. 28—William J. Bryan discussed the guarantee of bank deposits in a speech here. He said, in part: “A bank asks deposits on the the- ory that the depositor is sure of the return- of his money and the laws cught to make the facts conform to the theory. The depositor, the com- munity and the banker himself will be benefitted by legislation which will pive to every depositor the assurance that that which is committed to the keeping of the bank will be available to meet his needs at any time. Such is not the case today, for, while all banks are reasonably secure, they are not absclutely so. This statement can be verified in several ways. “First—The president has advocated & postal savings bank and his post- master general, in presenting an argu- ment in its favor, pointed out that many millions are sent to European savings banks every year by Amer- icans of foreign birth who prefer to trust the state institutions of the na- tions beyond the sea rather than the private banking institutions here.

LONG IN PUBLIC SERVICE Held Two Positions in the Cleveland Cabinet and Represented Wisconsin in the United States Senate—Was Stricken With Paralysis Weeks Since and a Second Stroke Resuits in His Demise. Madison, Wis., Aug. 28.—Colonel William F. Vilas is dead following five weeks of illness. When Dr. Phil- lip Fox made his morning call he found him unusually cheerful and bright and believed he showed signs of remarkable improvement. Shortly after the doctor left, while the nurses were administering a bath lo the patient, they noticed that he weakened very quickly and an attempt was made to reach the doctor, but Lolonel Vilas died before he could be | eached. Dr. Fox believes that the mediate cause of death was a sec- bnd stroke of paralysis. i Colonel Vilas suffered a cerebral | hemorrhage early on the morning of | buly 20 at his home in Madison. His tondition was so serious that E. P. Some | “Second—It is known that a consid- erable amount of money is in hiding, the amount increasing with the ap- proach of a panic or business depres- sfon.. This money is not only with- drawn from active use, but is likely to be withdrawn just at'the time when money is most needed and when the withdrawal will increase the financial disturbance. It is impossible to rea- son with fear. Tt is futile to tell men that they will probably get their money. The moment the depositors suspect a bank they hasten to destroy its solvency. Distrust, and distrust along, can explain the hiding of money. Willing to Lose Interest. “Third—The increase in the issue of money orders, payable to the order of the purchaser, is another evidence that people are seeking greater secur- ity for their money. The banks will pay an interest upon deposits and yet those who buy money orders prefer to lose the interest and, in addition to that, pay the price of the money order in order to secure the government’s guaranty. “Fourth—National banks confess they -oppose the guaranty of state and state bankers confess that their y1ose a national guaranty system on away from state banks. “Fifth—The experience of Oklahoma On Dec. 17, ed a depositors’ guaranty law, which became operdtive Feb. 4, 1908.
