S B S AU £ GOT HIS FILL OF THE GANADIAN NORTHWEST Wadena Counly Farmer Wants No More of King Edward’s *‘Choice Farm Land.” To those who still have the “North- west Canadian fever,” we would call the attention of the experience of one man who “got his fill” of the Saskat- chewan country, as witness the fol- lowing, taken from the columns of the Wadena Pioneer-Journal: “Fritz Sellnow is the name of a farmer of Stowe Prairie township, a few miles south of this city, He has not hived fthere so very long but he is well content and is thank- ing his lucky stars that he resides in Central Minnesota instead of Saskatchewan, Canada, where he came very near locating, but tortunatly did not do so. «“However, Sellnow is in trouble, and all over the purchase of a farm in Saskatchewan. Three yearsago | Sellnow had ihe Canadian fever. A land agent named Charles Al. brecht ot Plainview, Minnesota, induced him to buy a farm in Sas. katchewan. At the time Sellnow was a resident of Plainview. The agreed price tor the Canadain farm was $4,000. Sellnow gave a bond for a deed and also several notes. which are falling due. These notes have since passed into the hands of a third party living atPlainview. Selinow refuses to pay them. “‘In defense of his refusal to pay Sellnow alleges several interesting things, which shed a light on the kind of a country Saskatchewan is. In the first place he declared that he was defrauded into taking the deed for the Canadain land, He claim that the agent, Albrecht, said the land was worth at the least cal- culation $4,000. As a matter of fact Sellnow says that $2,000 would be a high price forit, When he bought the land Sellnow says he was particular to question Al- brecht about the Canadain climate and was told that it was just like that of Swift county. He finds now that it as cold and desolate place and that tor three years in succes- sion frost haskilled the grain crops. Sellnow has received letters from settlers who live near the Cana- dain farm he bought. and these have very discouraging tones. They warn him that if he intends going to Canada to be sure and bring along the seed wheat and oats, as there is no grain in that country and seed cannot be pro- cured there. «“Mr.Sellnow is being pressedto pay the notes which are falling due, but he does not want thel farm and does not think he should be bound to pay for if; under: the ‘circumstances. - He claims that the deal was misrepresented to him, patticularly along the lines above indicated, He says that he has heard enough about Canada, and could not possibly think of going there to live. He does not want to go to a country where the frost kills wheat and oats every fall. He is doing well here and believes he would soon go broke if he went to Canada and lost his crops by frost every year.” Necktie and Apron Party Monday Night. Anyone who desires to have a “‘whole bushel of fun,” with a fine supper and an entertaining compan- ion for supper should not fail ‘to attend the necktie and apron social which will be given by the Degree of Honor after their regular meeting Monday evening. Each lady will bring lunch for two (the kind of things “mother used to make”) and the lodge will furnish the coffee- and cream to complete the feast. = Then there will be muslin ties in sealed envelopes which will be sold to the male members of the party. When a gentleman gets a tie that matches an apron he shall be the partner at supper of the wearer of the apron. There will be pleasant occurrences, and everything possible will be done to care for those who attend the party, Remember, there is no fair opening envelopes prior to being sold. Go and be good and you’ll have a fine time. In connection with the necktie and apron social, a dance will be given, especial pains will be taken to make this feature of the evening thoroughly enjoyable. —Committee. Easter Menu.

The story is said to be a new one and deals principally with four per- sons; mother, brother and two sisters, one of whom is susceptible to flat- tery, and haying attained that age where she_considers herself capable of choosing her own company and amusements, submits to the entreat- ies of a not too reputable young man and accompanies him to public places, much against the wishes of her family. The brother, following the wishes of the dead father, is the head of the household, and naturally over solicit- ous for the wellfare of its every member, and he particularly resents his sister’s imprudent actions; so TS FOR SucH 7/"’//1’/ SAS YOO AT S LEAVE HOLE" much so that in a display of temper by her when she takes exception to his brotherly advice and entreaties he impulsively deals her a blow that places the almost lifeless body at his feet. During his subsequent aberrration there appears a2 woman who is seek- ing the downfall of both, the one in jealousy, and the other in revenge; she administers an opiate to prolong the sister’s insensibility; then with the assistance of an unprincipled scoundrel, she takes her to a room in a roadhouse in the country and keeps her a prisoner. She finally escapes from her cap tors after one of the most novel and exciting, yet consistént, scenes ever presented on the stage;and after a perilous trip across the country, arrives at the prison just in time to avert a tragedy that is about to take place. The story is a wholesome and in- teresting one, and is treated with great reverence and .delicacy by the author, Fred Summerfield. Mr. E. J. Carpenter has beautifully mounted the play scenically, the cafe scene and prison set being particularly effective, while they have also shown great regard for their audience by giving the play one of the best act- ing companies to be seen at popular prices. Married at Cass Lake. John Phillips and Miss Kittie Hardy of this city were married in the M. E. church at Cass Lake Wednesday afternoon. They returned to Bemidji on the evening train and were met at the home of the bride’s parents by a lIarge number of friends, An ex- cellent supper was served and the young couple were the recipients of many wishes for a long and happy life. M. B. A’s. Had Fine Time. The members of the Bemidji lodge of M. B. A. are still talking and laughing over - the very good time which they had at their meeting Thursday evening, at which time there was more geniality and social pleasure “on tap” than at any previ- ‘ous meeting of the lodge. At the conclusion of the business session there was a social session, and the “after entertainment” was I}l | where some of the older' members showed off to good advantage. There was a large attendance, members of the Nymore lodge being present and swelling the crowd to 175. The feature of the evening was the marriage which was performed in the hall, when Judd V. Cole was united in wedlock to Miss Lillie A. Shirk, and the attending ceremonies were very appropriate. While Miss Gertrude McLauchlin 'being followed by the ' prospective of the,Bemldp and Nymore lodges | formed on the * “floor and marched, |’ bride-and groom. At the conclusion of the march, Mr. Cole and Miss Shirk stood " be- fore M. A, Clark; judge of probate, who performed the ceremony that made them man and wife. If theré is any place where Judge Clark is pre-eminently superior to his fellows of the “‘common herd,” it is in “‘tying knots” matrimonial. With alacrity the judge congratulated both bride and groom and with that pleasing personality for which he is famed all over Beltrami county, he pro- ceeded to kiss the bride, in the most approved, up-to-date manner, not being one whit flustrated by the gasp of astonishment given forth by ! the groom. And right here, that old “bunch’ of good nature and fun, Joe Bisiar, proceeded to give the new couple some sage “advice which he has garnered in raising a most estimable family. The entire crowd joined in wish- ing the bride and groom a long and happy wedded life, and a banquet was served, under the direction of I. P. Lahrand Joe Ralph—and the feast was fully as good as the other part of the program. Entertained Sunday School Class. Miss Eliza Erickson, daughter of Postmaster A. R, Erickson of this city, entertained her English class of fourteen children of the Norwegian Lutheran Sunday School yesterday afternoon at the Erickson home, The children, who range from five to ten years old, had a very enjoyable time.

HEAD OF SALVATION ARMY EIGHTY TODAY Celebrations by His Followers Throughout the Earth, . | London, April 10.—From all parts | of the civilized and uncivilized world | into which the Salvation Army has extended its work have come today letters, telegrams and cablegrams of congratulation for General William Booth on the completion of his eight- ieth year. Thousands of members of the army have assembled here to cel- ebrate the anniversary and advices received here. indicate that the day is being celebrated by the army | throughout the world. The army's building is the scene of the steady atrtival and departure of GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH. delegations bearing to him good wish- es from many quarters of the globe. General Booth is taking advantage of his-jubilee to advance the interests or his latest project for spreading the work of the army. He is advocating the establishment of the World Uni- versity of Humanity, with branches in Great Britain, America and else- where, whose purpose it shall be to train men and women for work among the poor, the down trcdden and the churchless.” He asks $5,000,000 to make his plans efiectiv& A FEVER HEAT Last Hours of Tariff Bill in the House. VOTING ON AMENDMENTS Committee Recommendations, With a Few Exceptions, Adopted in a Lump Without- Division—Barley Duty In- creased From Fifteen to Twenty- four Génte & Bushel—Tea Placed on Free List. ‘Washington, April 10—With but three hours remaining fn which to perfect it before being finally voted on the house resumed consideration of the Payne tariff bill. There was practically a full membership present and interest was at fever heat. At the suggestion of Chairman Payne the action of the house in fix- ing a rate of 1 per cent ad valorem on crude petroleum and its products Wwas by unanimous consent reversed and the articles placed on the free list. Basie slag, ground or unground, {was taken out of the maximum and minimum provision, Chairman Payne explaining that it was used mostly by farmers as fertilizer. A substitute for section 3, covering the maximum and minimum features of the bill, offered by Chairman Payne, ocgasgioned the liveliest debate. When it became apparent that almost count- less amendments would be proposed to that section Chairman Payne sought to rally his cohorts by appeal- ing fo them to vote down all such propositions. He called attention to the fact that the substitute section was an elaboration of the original section In that it specifically pointed out the artieles which should come within its scope. All attempts to amend the section except in the case of basic slag and petroleum failed and, the vote then being taken, the entire substitute sec- tion 3 was adopted. The committes amendments inoreas- ing the Payne rate on barley from 15 to 24 cents a bushel, as well as the duty on barley malt from 25 to 40 cents a bushel, were adopted. The amendments to the Ilumber | schedule, having been offered by Mr. Cushman of Washington for the com- mittee, Mr. Fitzgerald of New York hinted at “a midnight deal,” whereby the possibilities of free lumber were considerably removed. Mann Denies the Charge. Denying that a trade had been ef- fected Mr. Mann of Illinois said he believed those favoring free lumber would maintain their attitude toward that schedule. Mr. Cushman protested that no one ‘who had talked to him in relation to barley had done so in reference to the lumber schedule. The substitute for section 4’ was then presented by Mr. Payne. It stipulates that the maximum provision shall not apply to cases where a mother country gives a preferential duty to one of its colonies, as well as to cases where a colony gives a pré&ter- ential duty to a mother country, which was originally prescribed in the Peyne bill. As a substitute for it Mr. Lowden of Illinofs offered an amendment giv- ing the president discretion in the ap- plication of the maximum rate. The Lowden amendment was lost and the Payne amendment, the substitute for section 4, was then adopted. The committee amendments to the Payne bill, with the exception of those affecting tea, coffes, barley and barley malt, were adopted in a lump and without division. The ~house adopted the committee amendment of the Payne bill placing tea on the free list without restriction. An amendment was adopted giving: farmers the right to sell their tobacco In the unmanufactured state without paying the tax. The Tawney amendment to strike out the paragraph placing a duty on hewn timber was defeated by a vote of 184 ayes and 198 nays. The Tawney amendment reducing the duty on finished lumber 80 per cent and striking out the duty on rough lumber was defeated, 180 ayes 6 200 nays. CINGINNATI LOSES MILLIONS Prohibition Vietory in Michigan Costs Ohlo Distillers Large Sum. - Cincinnati, April 10.—“The ‘drying out’ of twenty Michigan counties in the local option election this week will cost Cincinnati liquor interests a large amount of .business annually and, I believe, it will be safe to estimate the loss at about $2,000,000 a year,” said a wholesale liquor dealer, in a discus- sion of the liquor situation. Cincin- nati supplied the larger part of the liquor consumed in the Michigan coun- tles. Her Recipe Proved Effective. Chicago, April 10.—Mrs. Margaret Doyle, 104 years old, is dead here of a general decline due to advanced age.

St. Louis, April 10—“I maintain that in all this great record there is no proof that these defendants ever| received discriminatory railway rates, secret or otherwise, over their com- Detitors,” was the assertion of Moritz Rosenthal, attorney for the Standard Oil company, in commencing his ad- dress before the four judges in the United States circuit court, who ara hearing the government’s dissolution suit against the big corporation. After describing the conditions ob- taining. in railway circles prior to the Dassage of the Elkins act in 1883 Mr. Rosenthal insisted that there was no proof in the record that the defend- ants had ‘'accepted any concession from any lawfully established rate. The lawyer said the only proof in the rec- ord of the acceptance of railway dis- crimination of any kind was a receipt showing the acceptance of $7.40 by the Standard Oil company of Califor- nia from the Santa Fe on two ship- ments made to California and Ari zona, where an overcharge had been made. RESIDES AT THE ST. REGIS Hetty Green Moves From Hoboken Flat to Swell Hotel. New York, April 10.—Mrs. Hetty Green is now living at the exclusive Hotel St. Regis. From a furnished flat in Hoboken at $40 a month she has moved to a suite on the fifth floor of the most elaborately equipped ho- tel in Fifth avenue, for which she pays, it is sald, $125 a week. Mrs. Green's suite consists of a par- lor, bedroom and bath. She has every convenlence imaginable, but it was not for convenience or luxurious sur- rourfdings that shé moved to the St. Regis. She was actuated solely by the desire to be near her daughter Sylvia, who recently married Matthew Astor Wilks. Mr. Wilks, it is said by his friends, offered his distinguished mother-in-Jaw .2 home in his mansion at 440 Madison avenue, but she re- fused to intrude herself upon the do- mestic life of her daughter.
