The Grand Rapids Herald-Rev-| iew says of a farmers’ institute, on& of which will be held in Bemidji Friday, December 4th: *“Reports from other communities in Nor.heastern Minnesota indicate that the farmers’ intitutes that have thus far been held under the direc- tion of Supt. A. J. McGuire and other instructors have been attended with unusual success. The interest that is being shown by the farmers is much increased over former years. There should be no exception to this rule when the institute is held in Grand Rapids on December 15. “No matter what the local busi- ness men may do, however, will bring about the desired results unless the farmers take an interest in the meeting and be on hand. Every farmer within a radius of many miles should make it his busi- ness to be present. There is much valuable information to be gained at these meetings, and the progressive farmer will not fail to take advant- age of the opportunity thus offered to improve his knowledge of agri- culture.” The Bemidji Commercial club is co-operating with the officials of the institute to make the forth- coming institute here a successful gathering. A committee, of which W. R. Mackenzie is chairman, is making the arrangements. A dinner will be served to the farmers, free of charge; and all that is necessary is for the farmers to come to town early in the forenoon and remain all day. They will all learn much that will be of great help to them in their work of tilling the soil and raising of butter-producing cows, ard money-making hogs and beef cattle. ROCKNE FOR SPEAKER. It appears that the contest for the speakership of the next house of representatives is settled in favor of Hon. A. J. Rockne of Zumbrota, endorsements of his candidacy hav- ing come thick and fast during the past week. That Rockne will make a splendid presiding officer of the “lower house” is certain. He is fearless, and possessed of much ability. The Wadena Pior.eer-Journal says of Mr. Rockne: “These are days in which public men, or rather successful public men, must exercise courage and vigor, and under the circumstances it is perhaps well that Mr. Rcckne has practically a clear title to the speak- ership chair this early. He has served in the legislature since 1902, his first term being at the time Mr. Johnson was first a candidate for speaker. “Mr. Rockne was one of Mr. Johnson’s most hearty supporters at that time, and he soon demonstrated that he was destined to become a leader in thatbody. Heisa lawyer, is clear-headed and courageous, and wears the collar of no corporation or no grasping public interest. We know him well, and have great faith that he will make good in the broader field now open to him. We desire to congratulate him heartily over his victory, and hope the admistration of his predecessor, Mr. Johnson— equally honest and able, but a little weaker in the spine—will serve as a guide or a moral throughout his term as speaker.” CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] THANKSGIVING TURKEY. How dear to my heart is the Thanksgiving turkey as fond recol- lection recalls it to view! It lay on the platter all proudly and perky, as noble as when o’er the rail fence it flew. But that was the bird which the orchard would forage and grow plump and fat in the glad days of yore—it wasn’t the one that we get from cold storage and purchase at so much a pound at the store— The iron-clad turkey, The hammered-brass turkey, The cold-storage turkey ‘We get at the store. I wonder sometimes why they make them of rubber and rivet their wings to their chests as they do. They’d tickle a sailor, but not a landlubber who hasn’t been trained 01 a rope’s end to chew. O, would that I might have a place at a table adorned with a turkey like we had of yore, to eat just as long and much longer than able—and not on a hard-wood one bought at the store— The copper-lined turkey. The ages-old turkey, The muscular turkey ‘We get at the store, TRANSPORT SIX DAYS OVERDUE Alarm Felt for Safety of Steamer Dix. LEFT SEATTLE ON OCT. 15| Had Two Hundred Soldiers on Board and Was Due to Reach Manila Nov. 21—Washington Officials Fear She Was Caught in Recent Typhoon and a Vessel Will Be Sent From Manila to Search for Her. ‘Washington, Nov. 28.—Considerable alarm is felt at the war department over the fact that the army transport Dix, en route from Seattle to Manila with a cargo of 200 soldiers and 250 mules, is six days overdue. It is feared here that the Dix was caught in the same typhoon which disabled the hospital ship Relief while proceeding from Manila to the island of Guam. Adjutant General Ains- worth has sent a cablegram to Manila requesting that a vessel be sent out frem that port to locate the Dix. The Dix is the largest of the army trans- ports.

Chicago, Nov. 28.—Mrs. Rosalie Magnussen Lancaster is dead at her home in this city. Thirty years ago Mrs. Lancaster, then Miss Rosalie Magnussen, was considered America’s greatest pianist. She was the pupil and the favorite of Rubinstein in Vienna and during her concert career in the United States attained high rank among musicians. The death of her son, Dr. Howard N. Lancaster, in Chicago May 24 preyed upon her mind and broke her health. Mrs. Lancaster was born in Stock- holm, Sweden, Feb. 24, 1848, and came to Chicago when a baby with her parents. As a girl she was known as the most beautiful in the city. She married A. N. Lancaster and moved to California. After the death of her husband in California she returned to concert work and teaching and won a wide reputation. She returned to Chi- cago fourteen years ago.

W. I, private cable advices received there from Port au Prince are to the effect that the censured dispatches sent from Hayti only give a faint idea. of the reign of tefror now existing on that island. The dispatch continues: Anarchy reigns throughout Hayti and the country is literally running with blood. Private cables received here from Port au Prince state that wholesale executions are in progress both by the government forces and the revolutionists. Persons who are suspected of sympathy with the in- surgents are being summarily shot by order of President Nord Alexis and PRESIDENT NORD ALEXIS. as a result a panic prevails. The same course is being followed by the revo- lutionists, who have control of the southern portion of the republic. Ev- ery person in that section who sym- pathizes with the government is promptly put to death when his sym- pathies become known to General Simon, the leader of the insurgents. Foreigners in Hayti are making frantic appeals to their governments for protection and the French repre- sentative regards the situation so seri- ous that he has cabled for ships. The German minister, it is stated, has ca- bled a similar message to Berlin. It is the general opinion in St. Thomas that intervention by the Unit- ed States is necessary to protect life and property in Hayti. Eminent Surgeon Near Death. New York, Nov. 2'.—The death of Dr. W.

SEEKS REVISION OF THE RULES Congressman Townsend In- tends to Make Fight.

Jackson, Mich,, Nov. {/.—Con man Charles E. Townsend of this city, who has just returned from a three ceeks' hunting trip, said, discussing reports that he is to be an active can- didate for speaker of the next house of representatives: “Last session and also during the campaign 1 was in communication with a considerable number of mem- bers who were disposed to support me for speaker. However, I have not written to one of them since elec- CONGRESSMAN TOWNSEND. tion day. I am going to Washington next week.” “Will you then begin an active cam- paign for the speapership?” “The only active campaign I have decided to start on reaching Washing- ton will be for a revision of the house rules that the speaker and his three party colleagues on the committee on rules will not be the whole thing. Several of our strongest revisionists were defeated at the recent election. Their defeat naturally weakens our revision forces; still we are going to make the fight.” CLOW TO PADRONE SYSTEM Steps Taken by Italian Consuls and Business Men.
