Since the announcement was made in the Pioneer yestesday that there had been a consolidation of the Pioneer and the Record, there has been some comment as to what would be the policy of the Pioneer, hereafter, with relation to the different interests of the city, and the manner in which the paper would be conducted generally. It is the intention of the Pioneer, under the new arrangement, to be very liberal in the treatment of both news and editorial matter. Several business men have purchased stock in the Bemidji Pioneer Publishing company, for the sole purpose of lending aid to the effort that the Pioneer will put forth to bring to- gether in closer union all interests of Bemidji. Now, let’s allget together; drop your imaginary grievances, and assist the Pioneer and the Bemidji Sentinel in making Bemidji the best little city in Minnesota. This can only be done by a unity of purpose and a determination to each do his or her share towards furthering the best interests of the entire com- munity, - IN TARIFF BILL Some Schedules Increased, Others Reduced. - STATENENT BY ALDRICH Chairman of Committee Says the Number of Reductions Are About Three Times the Number of In- creases—Great Percentage of the Rates in Amended Bill Below Those of the Existing Dingley Law. Washington, April 13.—Senator Al- drich, when requested to make a sum- mary of the general character of the changes proposed by the senate finance committee to the house tariff bill, furnished the following state- ment; In the main the rates in the tariff blll as reported from the senate finance committee are lower than those in the bill as it passed the house, the actual number of reduc: tions being about three times the number of increases. Such increases as have been made have been largely rendered necessary to preserve the symmetry of the schedules. A con- siderable number of articles in com- mon use have been taken from the dutiable list of the house bill and re- stored to the free list. The .great mass of the rates reported are below those of existing law. In schedule A (the chemical sched- ule) the principal changes are in the nature of reductions below the house bill. In schedule B (earths and earthenware) the rates remain largely the same. The senate committee restored iron ore to the dutiable list at 25 cents per A BAD-TEMPERED ACCUSATION. Under the caption “Big (?) Be- midji,” the Cass Lake Voice of last Saturday contained the following: “ ‘Big (?) Bemidji’ is making her- self the laughing stock of the state by her wild celebration of the fact that she still has breath enough left to gasp. With bands parading her streets and shouts splitting the air she is presenting the ludricrous spectacle of celebrating her own burial. Knocked down and dragged out on six different occasions before the legislature in the last two months —she is so delizhted to be able to even recognize her own hide—so neatly stretched on the tence by Cass Lake—that she is with joy. “Goitold girl—you are 'big’in your littleness and the whole state knows it and some hundred of your own citizens who enjoy a broader mental vision than the most of you, recognize the humor of the situation and the pathos of your self-selected caption—'Big Bemidji.’ Nothing could be further from the truth than the above statement as to the alleged actions of the people of Bemidji when the news came that Governor Jonhson had vetoed the Cass Lake normal school bill; and it is really too bad that Brother Con- vers is laboring under such an aggravated attack of normalitis that he cannot be just inthis matter. While it is a matterof common kwowledge that the Cass Lake peo- ple really did have their band out on the street; that flags were flying, and that a banquet, like unto Bal- shazzer’s feast, had been prepared and was not served, it cannor be said truthfully that Bemidji people gloated over Cass Lake when the governor vetoed the normal bill. On the contrary, the governor’s act- ion simply otcasioned quiet smiles and nods of approval, and the asser- tion that there were “shouts sphitting the air,” etc., is but the vivid imag- inings of one possessed ofa bad digestion, “Big Bemidji” will pursue the even tenor of her way, undisturbed by rancorous pangs of jealousy, regard- less of whether any normal school is ever established in northern Min- nesota. And, in the meantime, it would be as well for both of the Cass Lake editors to forego their boasting in the future concerning “good fellows” in the legislature,etc., as means of winning plums, Forget it, brother. You'll eventu- ally reeover your ‘‘normal” state of mind and good health, and will be ashamed of yourself, Politics is certainly a great game, and only those persons who are “‘good losers” | . should “sit in.” SIX PEOPLE DIE IN FIRE Blaze at Lenox, Mass, Causes Dam- age of $260,000. Lenox, Mass., April 13.—Six persons lost their lives in a-fire that caused a property loss of more than $250,000 in the business section of the city. The blaze caused the explosion of Beventy-five pounds of dynamite in the hardware store of James Clifford & Sons. It was this that caused the loss of life. One body was blown into the street. :he others were cremated in the build- 8 ton—a reduction of 15 cents a ton from the Dingley rate. The house had made large reductions in this schedule throughout. Nearly all these reductions have been retained by the senate committee. In -addition to those made by the house the senate committee has made quite a large number of other reductions. The senate committee has retained the house rate on lead ore of 1% cents per pound, but has been obliged to ralse the rates on lead products throughout the bill to correspond with this duty on lead ore. House Lumber Schedule Retained. In schedule D (wood and manufac- tures of wood) the senate has taken the house rate of $1 a thousand on rough lumber, a reduction of $1 from the Dingley law, and has retained the house rates on manufactures of woods, nearly all showing reductions from the Dingley rates. The only im- portant change in the schedule made by the senate committee was the restoration of imported hard woods to the free list. The agricultural schedule, includ- ing meat products, remains practically unchanged from existing law, but where reductions were made by the house the senate committee restored the Dingley rates in response to the demands of farmers throughout the country and of the representatives of the great agricultural interests. The senate has returned cocoa to the free list, believing that an article of such general consumption, both as a beverage and in all forms of choco- late, should no more be made dutiable than tea or coffee. The senate com- mittee has applied the same principle to spices and has restored them to the free list, where they have always been. The senate committee has in- oreased the rates on spirits and wines 16 per cent throughout, which, it is estimated, will yield an additional Tevenue of $3,000,000, most of which will come from the increased duty on champagne. The senate committee has restored the rates in the wool schedule to the rates of the present law. Flax on Dutiable List. Raw flax has been restored by the senate committee to the dutiable list, otherwise the schedule remains sub- stantially as it came from the house. The rates on corn, oats end wheat bave been increased 5 cents per bushel and the duty on rye has been made 20 cents instead of 10 cents per bushel. An increase of 5 per cent ad valorem has been made in the rate on live animals not specially provided for. In silks the senate committee has adopted a new schedule, replacing ad valorem with specific rates in all cases where it was possible to do so, show- ing a slight average reduction from the equivalent ad valorem. The senate committee has not yet decided what rates it will recommend in regard to wood pulp-and the art- icles dependent upon it. They have elso left open for further action the question of the duties on coal and hides. The senate committee has made re- ductions of 16 per cent on an average in the specific duties on hats and bon- nets, which the house had raised in Bome fnstances above the Dingley rates. The senate committee has also struck out the house paragraph in regard to gloves and hoslery and has reatored the rates in the existing law. The free list, as reported by the sengte committee, in the main remains &8 & is In the existing law. The amended bill was reported to the menate &7 Mr. Aldmich shortly after that body met. “PLAY BALL!"

GLOSING ARGUMENT IN OIL TRUST GASE Kellogg Replies fo Addresses of Opposing Attorneys. they St. Louis, April 12.—Special United States District Attorney General Frank B. Kellogg made the closing address to the court in behalf of the govern- ment in the latter’s suit to have the Standard Oil company of New Jersey dissolved as a violator of the Sher- man antl-trust act. Mr. Kellogg asserted that the twen- ty companies signing the original Standard trust agreement were just as competitive, if anything more so, than the railways subscribing to the agreement in the Northern Securities oase. The government attorney carefully reviewed the facts as well as the law and claimed that the two cases were identical and that by no stretch of the imagination could Mr. Watson’s argu- ment be legally or technically logical. Mr. Kellogg took up the points raised by John G. Milburn of New York, who narrated the facts of the case from the defendant's viewpoint; John G. Johnson, who discussed cer- tain phases of the law, and Moritz Rosenthal of Chicago, who confined his address to a discussion of the al- leged unfalr competition and discrim- inatory railway rates. Mr. Kellogg also took sharp issue with the defendant’s maps, showing | th that the price of crude and refined oil had followed the general increases and declines of prices of household com- modities, even to being lower as a rule. The federal attorney insisted that the price of both crude and re- fined oil had been higher than the proportionate increase of general sup- Dplies, offering a new set of tables, pre- pared by Dr. A. Dana Durand of the United States bureau of corporations, in support of*his contention. . TUQ IT ISLANB Authorities Insist That He ~ Leave Martiniqnq. SAYS HE IS T00 ILL T SAIL Former President of Venezuela Pleads Poor Health in an Effort to Delay His Departure, but a Physician Called in by the Government De clares the Patient Able to- Ga Aboard Steamer. Fort de France, April 1.—Ciprianc Castro, the former president of Ven | ezuela, was informed oficially of the decision of the French government tc expel him from® Martinique. He at once declared to the chief of police ol Fort de France that the state of his health was such as to make it im- possible for him to leave his bed. The government thereupon called in Dr Bouvier, who will make a report on Castro’s condition. The doctor called in by France to pass upon the state of Cipriano Cas- tro declared that the former president of Venezuela was sufficiently strong to travel and that he could take the French steamer Versailles due here shortly. Castro protested against the physi- cian’s decision. He declared that he suffered from intolerable pains in the abdomen and the kidneys; that he was without funds to meet his traveling expenses from Fort de France, his mouey being deposited elsewhere than in Martinique, and that he could not embark on the Versailles. Castro de- manded sufficlent delay in order to make it possible for him to leave here for Santa Cruz de Teneriffe, in the Canary islands. The Canaries are Spanish territory. Denmark Also Approached. Copenhagen, April 1%—The United Btates has approached Denmark in the matter of permitting Ciprianc Castro to remain on the Danish West India islands in case the former pres- ident of Venezuela should proceed there from Martinique. READY TO RETURN MONEY Governor Davidson Gives His Version of Campaign Fund. Madison, Wis., April 1).—Governor James O. Davidson gave his version of the $1,200 campaign fund sensation, Wwhich came out in the testimony of Chief Game Warden J. W. Stone be- fore the senatorial primary investiga- tion committee. He said that'Game Warden Stone walked into his office one day while he was sitting talking with a gentle- man and left some papers and an en- velope. He did not know there was any money “in the stuff at all;” that Stone walked out and did not say a ‘word. “I found out afterwards, though, that along with other matters there ‘was money in the envelope.” The governor denied having knowl- edge as to where the $1,200 came from and' said that the members of the committee knew more about the affair than he did. Continuing, he said: v “If that money has been collected< from the wardens I am ready and anx- ious that every dollar of it should be restortd to them and I am perfectly willing to leave it with you gentle- men to distribute.” Lilley Passing “Through Crisis.

There is nothing that will con- vince a lawyer except evidence. Now here is some rather start- ling evidence of a simple home cure for eczema which convinced lawyer F,C, Entriken, attor- ney at Moline, Ill. He tells how oil of wintergreen compound mix- ed with thymol and glycerine, as in D, D. D. Prescription, cured him in thirty days after thirty- two years of suffering. “For 32 years,” writes Attorney Entriken, I was troubled with eczema, scabs all overmy face, body and head. I could rua a hair brush over my body and the floor would be covered with scales enough tofill a basket. I tried everything—salves, internal med- iceae X Ray—all without results.” Justa month ago I was induced | to try D.D.D. Prescription. The itch wasrelieved instantly; so Icon- tinued. It is justa month now and I am completely cured. I have not a particle of itch and the scales have dropped off. I can only say again CURE DIS COVERED. I am now start- ing all eczema sufferers on the right track”. Cure after cure has been brought to our attention and always that| instant relief from the awful itch.
