SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM CLEARWATER COUNTY WILL GIVE BIG MA- JORITY FOR STANTON. Shevlin Herald: Clearwater county is sure to give Mr. Stantona very large plurality and it is safe to say that his majority in this county will be as large in proportion as that in Beltrami county if not larger. While holding court in this county at the last session Judge Stanton made a very favorable impression, and that impression has been grow- ing steadily. Party politics is getting to cut lessand less of a figure in such offices as the one Mr. Stanton seeks, and he is sure to carry a large number of votes of those who vote for the man to fill the office rather than to make the office a sort of political pie to be handed out to the office seekers of the victorious party. Taking these things into consideration; to- gether with the fact that Judge Stanton has already shown what sort of a judge he makes, whereas Wright is an unknown quantity in this county, it is safe to predict that Clearwater will go strong for Stan- ton. THE GAME HOG. In the current number of Collier’s ‘Weekly G. O. Shields, the editor of an out-of-door magazine, has a story to tell of the game hog, and the fish hog, human hogs both. Happily the story is written largely in the past tense, for these particular species of hogs are rapidly becoming extinct, and their extinction, it is only truth to say, is due in no little deereee to the work of the man who has just written about them. The game hog is the man who goes out shooting birds or mammals for the sole purpose ot killing every- thing that he runs across. There is not a drop of sportsman’s blood in his veins; he is a butcher in instinct and act. The fish hog is his brother swine and brother butcher. They are of the kind who in the pride of wholesale slaughter like to have FORCES DOOR OF HIS STATERODM Papers in Damage Suit Are Served on Hearst. HASKELL WANTS $600,000 Omaha Deputy Sheriff Boards Train on Which the Millionaire New Yorker Is a Passenger and Breaks Into Compartment Occupied by the Editor and His Wife, Who Waere Retiring for the Night. Omaha, Oct. 1’.—After a dramatic scene on Union Pacific train No. 2, in which the door of his stateroom was burst open by a deputy sheriff, Will- jam Randolph Hearst, the millionaire editor, was served with papers notify- ing him that suit for $600,000 dam- sges had been brought against him for glander and libel by Governor Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma in the Doug- las county (Neb.) district court. The summons was served by Deputy Sher- iff Stewart for Smyth & Smith of Omaha, who are Governor Haskell's attorneys in the damage suit. It was known that Mr. Hearst would pass through Omaha on. his ‘way from Seattle to New York and plans were laid accordingly. When the train ar- rived Deputy Sherift Stewart was on hand with orders to serve the sum- mons on Mr. Hearst, but had a trying time in doing so. A knock on the door of Mr. Hearst’s stateroom elicited the information through the door from the editor’s wife that he was not in the room, but had gone to the depot to send a tele- gram. Not to be cheated the deputy sheriff demanded admittance in the name of the law, saying that if he were not admitted he would break down the door. Mrs. Hearst Hysterical. Then ensued a dramatic scene. Mrs. Hearst, on the inside, screamed out that she was alone and would admit no man and the deputy proceeded to carry out his threat to break in. Us- ing his shoulders as a battering ram he crashed through the door and was met by Mrs. Hearst, partially disrobed, apparently on the verge of hysteria. Nothing daunted, although Mrs. Hearst rushed screaming through the door out in the aisle, Deputy Sheriff Stewart started to kick in the door of the toilet room adjoining the state- room. Then Mr. Hearst emerged and he accepted the papers which the dep- uty thrust out. He appeared less in- dignant than his wife. Mr. Hearst said that the summons was entirely unexpected; that he had not the least suspicion that anything of the kind was to occur in Omaha. “Why did you refuse admittance to the officer?” was asked. their photographs taken with their victims piled about them. It was this vainglory that undid them. In the country papers Mr. Shields would read of the killings and the picture posings. He would write to the butchers, saying that he had read that they had been successful in the hunting fields, and he would ask for a picture. Almost always response was quick and prideful, with “please find photograph en- closed.” “Because myself and wife were re- tiring for the night,” explained Mr. Hearst. “I have no objections to be- ing served with these papers here in Omaha or anywhere else. “Frankly, I don’t believe this case will ever come to a trial and the knowledge that this suit has been filed does not disturb me in the least. ‘When Governor Haskell said not very long ago that his only reason for not bringing action against me was his lack of funds I offered to donate the necessary amount from my own pocket and this ofter still holds good.” FORCED HER TO DISROBE In his magazines Mr. Shields would reproduce the pictures with the names and addiesses of the principals, and would give them instant membership in the Game Hog Club. He was threatened with suits and with bodly chastisements, but he kept on, and the game hog is going the way to extinction. The wage earning voters of the coun- try bave twice enjoined Bryan from the presidency. This year they will make the injunction permanent.

WRIT FOR HIS ARREST Soclallst Lawmaker Accused of Incit- ing to a Breach of the Peace by His Speech—Attempt to Bring Up the Subject of the Unemployed in the House of Commons Results in Ex- pulsion of Another Sociallst. Tondon, Oct. 1/,—The recent demon- strations by the unemployed in Great Britain, brought about one result rather out of the ordinary. This was the issuing of a writ against William James Thorne, Soclal-Democratic mem- ber of parliament from the Southern division of West Ham, for inciting to a breach of the peace by making a speech in which he advised the unem- ployed to “rush” the baker shops rather than starve. A bedy of the un- employed is marching from Notting- ham to London. Berlous riots were avoided in- Shef- fleld only when the mayor announced that the sum of $500,000 would be de- voted to relief work. There have been demonstrations of the unemployed also at Sunderland and Maidstone. Albert V. Grayson, Socialist member from Yorkshire, tried to ralse a de- bate in .the house on the unemployed question. The speaker, however, ruled him out of order. Mr. Grayson then created a scene by denouncing the members for not succoring the sarving thousands on the streets of London and defled the speaker. The speaker then instructed the sergeant- at-arms to remove the recalcitrant Socialist, whereupon Mr. Grayson withdrew his remark and said, amid the jeers of his colleagues: “I leave this house with the great- est pleasure.” BAIRD IS CONVICTED. Verdict of Guilty in Land Fraud Case in Nebraska. Omaha, Oct, 1 .—The jury in the federal court in the case of Frederick S. Baird, charged with attempting to defraud the government of several thousand acres of public land in Dawes county, Neb.,, by means - of fictitious entries, returned a verdict of guilty on #ix counts. Baird is a Chicago attor- ney and is the head of the Chicago Ranch company, whose members are mostly Chicago people, many being railroad men. The members filed on claims under the Kinkaid desert land act and pooled their interests, con- tributing to a general fund for the pur- pose of making the required improve- ments. = Irregularities in securing the lands were charged. Baird was in- dicted with Patrick J. and Lawrence | E. King, conspiracy being one of the | charges. The trial of the Kings will come up at a future term of the ennrt MICROBES IN THE SCALP The Latest Explanation is That Mi- crobes Cause Baldness. Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany, and Dr. Sabourand of Paris, France, share the honor of having discovered the hair microbe. Baldness is not caused through a few weeks’ work of these hair mi- crobes, but is the result of condi- tions brought about by their pres- ence. Baldness may not occur until years after the microbes began work, but it is certain to come sooner or later. The microbes cut off the blood supply. They feed on the fatty matter about the root of the hair, through which the blood is absorbed. Finally the fatty matter is wholly consumed, the food supply of the hair is gone and it starves and fin- ally dies. Resorcin is ore of the most effect- ive germ destroyers; Beta Napthol is both germicidal and antiseptic; Pilocarpin though not a dye, restores natural color to the hair when loss of color was caused by disease. These curatives properly mixed with alcohol as a stimulant, perfect a remedy unequalled for curing scalp| and hair troubles. We want everyone who has any scalp or hair trouble to try Rexall 93” Hair Tonic, which contains all these ingredients. If it does not grow hair on your bald head, stop your hair from falling out; cure you of dandruff; make your bhair thick, silky, luxuriant; if it does not give you complete satisfaction in every particular, return the empty bottle tous, and we shall return every penny you paid us for it, without question or formality. 25 Of course, you understand that when we say that Rexall ¥93” Hair Tonic will grow hair on bald heads, we do not refer to cases where the roots are entirely dead, the pores of the-scalp-closed, and the head has the shiny appearance of a billiard ball. - In cases like this, there is- no hope. In all other cases of baldness | Rexall #93” Hair Tonic will posi- tively grow. hair, or cost the user not Barker’s Drug Store. ‘All Balloons Accounted: For.
