SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM ——————— THE JUDGESHIP CONTEST. Tue TRIBUNE regrets to note the insinuations of irregularities in vot- ing in the judgeship contest by the Bemidji Pioneer Both candidates are konorable gentlemen who would not tolerate any such procee iings. Even though defeated Judge Stanton has made a phenominal run, having been an independent candidate in a Republican strong-hold. He was handsomely endorsed in his county. B. F. Wright was alike honored in Hubbard county, the latter’s home. The Bemidji Pioneer was a powerful factor 1n Stanton’s campaign—it should not throw away that influence in a few thoughtless insinuations.— Akeley Tribune. The above is one of the several articles which a number of the news- paver boys whom we know are “handing” us, in a mild endeavor to remind us that we supported a loser for the judgeship fight at the late general election. Had Judge Stanton been duly elected. on the face of the returms, there is but little doubt but all of those who are now trying to tell about ‘“clean politics,” ‘“‘honorable actions,” etc., would have been just as strong in telling of how they were favorable to the judge. The Pioneer was the only news- paper of any importance that cham- pioned the judge’s cause, and his ouly, and the result of the vote in this (Beltrami) county we believe is a fair indication of some of the results obtained in which the Pio- neer had a small part. Several other papers of this county reprinted some of the clipped articles for the judge, but were more friendly to his opponent, straddling the fence, as it were. We have no opologies to make relative to the judgeship contest, except that if some other parties had performed the task alloted to them there would have been a different story to tell. The Pioneer did its full share, and the failure of the judge to be elected certainly cannot be laid at our door. As to the nsinuations of “‘crooked work,” we will state that we printed a special telephone message received direct from Aitkin, in which it was charged that one precinct there had been changed, the vote on the judge- ship having been reversed, origin- ally being in favor of Stanton and appearing at the auditor’s office favorable to his opponent. We are printing the news in the Pioneer as we get -it, and do not color news items to suit personal ends; ‘and we claim for our news columns impartial matter. We have never insinuated on our own account that Mr. Wright was attemptiog to steal the election; we believe him to be above that; but we have been in politics before in some of these northern counties, and have, in at least three instances, seen successful candidates “‘counted out” by can- vassing boards. Some of the men who participated in those same con- tests are still in the limelight of political strife and contention—and we have not been informed that they have mended their ways to any great extent. However, we are a good loser— and at that, we do not assume the entire respousibility of Judge Stan- ton’s campaign, by any means. That gentleman certainly did finely, and but for a few oversights on the part of some of his lieutenants he would have been elected—that is our firm conviction. Now, you boys, let up in your attempts to make out of the Pioneer an irresponsible “rag." B. F. Wright has our sincere congratula- tions on his election. We shall en- deavor to treat him as fairly as we do everyone else, in the conduct of b our newspaper and in the ordinary business of life. We trust he will favor Bemidji with his presence as often as possible; and he will be given every consideration here. Endorse Woodruff for Senator.

HONOR HEROES OF REVOLUTION Monument to Prison Ship| Martyrs Dedicated. TAFT PRINCIPAL SPEAKER With Governor Hughes, Secretary Wright and Other Notables He At- tends Unveiling of Memorial—Na- tional, State and City Governments, -With Private Citizens, Co-Operate in Honoring Heroes. New York, Nov. 1%—Brooklyn to- z:y is the scene of a notable gather- g of local, state and national celeb- rities, the occasion being the dedica- tion of the prison ship martyrs’ monu- ment. Prominent among the men who are attending the ceremonies are & oy PRISON SHIP MARTYRS’ MONU- MENT. President-Elect Willlam H. Taft, Charles E. Hughes, re-elected gov- ernor. of New York, and Secretary of War Luke E. Wright. Judge Taft delivered the principal address of the dedicatory exercises, the programme carried out being as follows: Exercises at Unveiling, Music by Twenty-third regiment band, T. F. Shannon leader, closing with ‘The Star Spangled Banner,” all standing. - Prayer, the Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cad- man. Poem, Thomas Walsh. Oration, Hon. William H. Taft. Presentation of monument on behalf of the national government by Secre- tary of War Luke E. Wright. Acceptance on behalf of the state by Governor Charles E. Hughes. Acceptance on behalf of the city by the chairman of the board of alder- men, Patrick F. McGowan. Address on behalf of the Tammany society or Columbian order by Daniel P. Cohalan, grand sachem. A long military parade marched through the streets of Brooklyn and many of the houses in the borough were decorated with the national col- ors. The prison ship martyrs’ monument Is intended to perpetuate the mem- ory of the patriots whose unhappy fate it was during the American Rev- olution to be captured by the British and confined in the Jersey and other hulks of infamous memory lying in the East river. Hundreds died of dis- ease contracted during such confine- ment and starvation clalmed many of the others. There is a monument to the memory of the martyrs in Trin- ity churchyard, Manhattan, but it has long been felt that it is inadequate. The Prison Ship Martyrs’ Monu- ment associ®ion of the United States was incorporated in 1903 to procure money for the monument. Toward the work *he naticnal government donated $1.0,000, the state of New York contrituted $50,000 and the city gave $25,000, the remainder being supplied by popular subscriptions- by Brooklynites. The Tammany soclety has been active in procuring funds for the monument. The monument was designed by the late Stanford White and cost a little over $200,000. The cornerstone laying took place on Saturday, Oct. 26, 1907, Governor Hughes, Major General Frederick Dent Grant, Ste- hen V. White, Stephen M. Griswold and many others taking part in the ceremonies. Veteran Lake Captain Dead. Escanaba, Mich., Nov. 1+.—Captain George Bartley, a veteran lake cap- tain, i8 dead, aged seventy-three years.

Laporte, Ind., Nov. 1.—The de- fense in the Lamphere case, in its efforts to prevent certain information going to the jury, suffered its first de- feat when Judge Richter ruled that the report of the coromer’s verdict was admissible as primary evidence. The ruling followed exhaustive argu- ments and the citation of many au- thorities by the attorneys for the [ CURES Coughs Golds, CROUP, Whooping Cough This remedy can always be depended upon and is pleasant to take.

The defendant looked paler than usual. He was unnerved considerably during the statements made by Prose- cutor Smith and looked as though he had not slept well. When questioned regarding the statement he said that it was very strong, “but there is noth ing in the claim that I went past the Gunness house that morning.” Cor cner Mack was the first witness on the stand. He was quite uncertain about his answers at times. He tes- tified to the finding of the bodies in the ruins and said that one was that of an adult female and the other three were those of children. Attorney Sutherland conducted the examination for the state. _ ARE MICROBS IN YOUR SCALP? Many Explanations of Baldness Have Been Advanced. The Most Correct Is that of Microbes. The term “microb” refers to a parasitic plant or fungi also called bacteria. A microbe is so small that it can only be detected by the aid of ] a microscope. Some microbes are harmless, while others produce vari- ous diseases, and derive their titles through the form of their growth or because of the diseases they create, which diseases are infectious or con- tagious. . Prof. Unna of Hamburg, Germany, and Dr. Sabourand, the leading dermatologist of France, discovered that a microbe caused baldness, and | their theory has time and again been amply verified through research and experiments carried on through the observation of eminent scientists. This microbe lodges in the Sebum, which is the natural hair oil, and if permitted to flourish, it destroys the hair follicles, and in time the pores entirely close and the scalp takes on a shiny appearance. When this happens there is no hope of the hair growth being revived. Dandruff is a contagious disease which a microbe causes, and later produces itching scalp, falling hair and baldness. Dandruff is caused by the microbe diseasing the sebaceous matter, which dries up and scales off. Sometimes the cuticle surrounding the hair allows the natural oil of the hair to force its way between the flakes of scarf skin direct to the hair, and the microbe beinz between the flakes force them apart and they scale off as dandruff. We have a remedy which posi- tively will remove dandruff, extermin- ate the microbe, promote good circu- lation in the scalp, tighten and revitilize the hair roots, grow hair and cute baldness. We back up this statement on our own personal guarantee that this remedy, which is called Rexall “93” Hair Tonic, will be supplied free of all cost to the user if it fails to do as we promise. It will also restore gray and faded hair to its original rich, glossy color, if loss of color has been caused by disease, yet it is in no sense a’ dye. Rexall “93” Hair Tonic accom- plishes these results by making every hair root, follicle and pigment gland strong and active, and by stimulat- ing a natural flow of coloring pig- ment into the hair cells. Rexall “93” Hair Tonic is entirely free from grease or sediment, is extremely pleasant to use; and will not gum the hair or soil the clothing or pillows. We want everyone- troubled with hair or. scalp ailments, even though they are bald in spots, to try Rexall *93” Hair Tonic on our guarantee. We exact no obligations or promises, and simply ask you to give it a thorough trial, and if not satisfied, tell us, and we will refund the money paid us.

SEEN T0 CONFIRM NEWS Two Imperial Edicts lIssued, One Naming Prince Chun, the Emperor’s Brother, Regent of the Empire, and the Other Appointing the Latter's Son Heir Presumptive—Foreign Res- idents Confused by Developments. Peking, Nov. 1,.—The emperor of China is reported dead, but official confirmation is lacking. It is reported that the dowager empress also is dy- ing. The emperor was transferred to the death chamber several hours pre- vious to his reported death. At that time he was still breathing. Two imperial edicts svere issued from the palace in quick succession. The first makes Prince Chun regent of the empire and the second ap- points his son, Pu Wel, heir presump- tive. Simultaneously with the removal of the emperor. from the winter palace to the death chamber in the Forbidden City the members of the grand coun- cil assembled in the palace. The dowager empress was present at this meeting and is reported to have swooned. il the government offices are de- serted. The palace is crowded with officials. Prince Chun is a brother of the em- peror. His name is Tsal Feng and he succeeded to the title of his father, Prince Chun, in 1891. He is a lieu- EMPEROR OF CHINA. tenant general of the Plain White banner corps and visited Germany in 1901 as a special commissioner of the throne. This last illness of the emperor as- sumed a serious aspect a fortnight ago. It was then declared that he was suffering from a grave intestinal complaint. He has persistently re- fused to accept Western medical at- tendance, although medical men at- tached to the legations have stood ready to give their services. His majesty has been suffering for ten years past from chronic nephritis, which recently became complicated with diabetes and sclatica. The foreign residents of Peking are confused by the sudden developments and the various reports and rumors emanating from the palace. It is ab- solutely impossible to obtain any con- firmation officially of the reported death of the emperor and the condi- tion of the dowager empress. Thers is a certain amount of suspicion in regard to what is actually transpir- ing. Tt is believed that the govern- ment will utilize the dying condition of the emperor, if he is not already dead, to screen the condition of the dowager empress. FOUND IN INSANE ASYLUM Weather Bureau Chief Who Disap- peared Ten Years Ago. New York, Nov. 1'.—Professor Mark ‘W. Harrington, former chief of the United States weather bureau, who mysteriously dropped out of sight nearly .ten years ago, has been found, a hopeless mental wreck, in the New Jersey asylum for the insane at Mor- ris Plains. He has been an inmate ot the asylum since more than a year ago, when he was found wandering aimlessly about the streets of Tren- ton. Such is his condition that he has been unable to tell the asylum officials anything about himself and it was not until Thursday that his iden- tity was established. Then the wife of the former weather bureau chief visited the asylum and identified the man as her missing husband. Mrs. Harrington, who lives in this city, said that although her husband had changed greatly in appearance since he left home ten years ago and did not recognize her when she visited him at-the asylum she is certain the man in the asylum is Professor Har- rington. VICE SYSTEM POWERFUL Attorney Talks on White Slave Traffic. Chicago, Nov. 1l.—“Over $102,000 was spent in cne Chicago disorderly house in the year 1907 and $41,241 in the first five months of 1908. One woman turned over to her owner $723 in the month of May, 1908, and she did not get a dollar.” These assertions were made by Harry Parkin, assistant United States district -attorney, in a luncheon talk before the Illinols Athletic club on the white slave trafiic. “Girls and women are sold today as men were before 1860,” declared Mr. Parkin. “A system, well equipped, powerful politically and as efficient as any business system, exists for bring- ing girls and women from foreign cotintries and the rural districts of our country. to Chicago and other cit- fes of the Union for improper pur- posos.” Federal Officers of Transpacific Steamship Company Involved. San Francisco, Nov. 1: —It is stated that charges involving officers of a transpacific steamship company in a plot whereby many Chinese have been smuggled into the United States under the very eyes of the immigra- tlon authorities have been flled with Hart H. North, immigration commis- sioner, and that the authorities at Washington have been requested to institute a special investigation. It is said that the Chinese came over as members of the crew, were photograph>d and permitted to land under bonds furnished by the steam- ship company, but that after they had returned and been inspected oth- ers of their countrymen who desired to return to China found opportunity to substitute themselves in the places of the original sailors and servants.
