How eloquent the silentlady on a silver dollar is. Some people make a specialty of believing the impossible. The girl who looks good isn’t necessarily good looking. If men were less stupid, women would have to be a lot more clever. Women have no real respect for the men who listen to everything they say. All the chivalry in a man’s nature evaporates when he meets a short-haired woman. Once in a while an actress makes good for her press agent, (No reference to vaudewille.) As a rule there is nothing ina name—but sometimes everything a man possesses is in his wife’s name. According to the “good book” ‘'vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord; I will repay.” This apt quota- tion probably had reference to the “newspaper pirate”—the one who purloins whole columns of matter and never extends even the courtesy of a credit. (Especial reterence being made to the two daily papers printed at Crookston by one J. P. Dotson.) The news columns of the Pioneer are especially attractive to those “Queen City” scribes. NEW TRIAL DENIED IN GOOPER CASE Slayers of Senator Garmack Will Take an Appeal. Nashville, Tenn,, April 28.—Judge ‘William M. Hart overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of Colonel Duncan B, and Robin J. Cooper, re- cently convicted of the murder of for- mer United States Senator E. W. Car- mack. The defense at once gave no- tice of an appeal to the supreme court and waived the formal sentence of twenty years in the penitentiary. The defendants were in court early, Mrs. Lucius Burch coming in with her father and brother. The colonel was attired in a new black suit and ap- peared in excellent spirits. Robin was pale and ill at ease. KILLS YOUNG BUSINESS MAN Girl Declares Lover of Nine Years Desarted Her. Nashville, Tenn., April 28.—Isaac S. Morse, a young business man, was shot and almost instantly killed by Gertrude Douglas in the office of the American Dry Cleaning company. In the excitement that followed the shooting the young woman escaped, but was arrested an hour later in the office of a physician. At police head- quarters Miss Douglas said: “Ike Morse deserted me after he had been going with me for the last nine years. He couldn’t throw me over and live. We met in this city nine years ago.” There were no eyewitnesses to the tragedy. Two colored porters were in the rear of the store and saw Miss Douglas talking to Morse for ten min- utes before the shooting. They heard the shots fired in time to catch Morse as he pitched forward and to see his assailant leaving the office by the front door. Train Strikes Speeding Auto.

Logansport, Ind, April 29.—A pa- trolman, Joseph Kroeger, and a pick- pocket whose name is unknown were killed in a revolver duel following an evening performance of a circus. A second man, Charles Pierce of Scran- ton, Pa., was captured after police- men had pursued him on a hand car to a point six miles north of this city. He is charged with having fired the shot that killed the policeman. After the evening performance of the circus the thugs raided the crowd with revolvers in their hands. Two of the men established a station on the Third street bridge. They not only held up and robbed the passers, but they forced the victims to line up against the rail-to see their suc- cessors despoiled. Patrolman Kroeger ran to the scene and one of the thugs shot. The po- liceman fell, but was able to draw his revolver and fire. One .of the men fell. The other fled. The pickpocket died in St. Joseph’s hospital. Priests and nurses tried in vain to get a statement of his identity from him. As he was dying a priest bent over him with a last appeal. Summoning all his strength the man shouted “You go to hell.” He then fell back and was dead. INTENDED T0 KILL FRENCH PRESIDENT Man Named Verdier Arresteil al Monte Garlo. Monte Carlo, April 29.—A man named Verdier, who was arrested here by the French police, declared that he was an anarchist and that he had come to Monte Carlo for the purpose of killing President Fallieres of France, who is at present visiting here. A revolver loaded with jacketed bul- lets was found on Verdier, as well as PRESIDENT FALLIERES, a letter addressed to the prefect of the department of Alpes Maritimes, in which the man explained the motive for his contemplated act. Verdier comes from Haute Garche. The po- lice believe that he is insane. President Fallieres arrived here in an automobile from Nice and he and the members of his party were given a hearty welcome and entertained at luncheon by the Prince of Monaco.

Lewis of the United Mine Workers, who was here presid- ing over the tri-district convention of the anthracite miners, received word that his brother, William T. Lewis, state labor commissioner of Ohio, had died at Columbus. He left at once for Columbus. In the absence of Mr. Lewis E. I McCullough, na- tional vice president, presided at the day’s session of the convention. GAMBLERS PAY CHURCH BILL Result of Raid on Colored Club at Wilkesbarre, Pa. Wilkesbarre, Pa., April 29.—Mayor Kniffen, Chief of Police Long and City Detective Jones raided a negro social club in this city where several crap games were in progress. Those in the place tried to escape, but found their way barred by policemen. After things had quieted down somewhat the mayor said: “I will not call the patrol wagon and lock you fellows up for gambling if you will do one thing.” “What is it?” said the proprietor of the place. “It is this,” replied his honor, “the Zion African Methodist Episcopal church of this city owes the gas com- pany $29.50 and the pastor of the church has complained to me that unless the bill is paid the gas will be shut off and he cannot hold serv- ices. Now, many of you fellows are members of his church, or should be. 1f you chip in now and raise the $29.50 I will let you off.” All hands contributed and the may- or allowed the frequenters of the place to go home.

BOYLE OUTLINES DEFENSE Plans to Prove Alibi in Whitla Kid- napping Case. Mercer, Pa, April 29.—James H. Boyle, awaiting trial on charge of kidnapping Willie Whitla from Sharon on March 18, has outlined his defense. He expects to prove by witnesses from Youngstown, O., that he was in Youngstown and not in Sharon, as the prosecution will try to prove, on the evening before the abduction and that he left Youngstown the morning of the abduction going by rail to ‘Warren, O. He will offer testimony to show that at Warren he accident- ally met a couple of his friends, who had the Whitla boy in their charge. He says he was informed by them that smallpox had broken out at Shar- on and that they were taking the boy away from the disease. To ac- commodate them, he says he agreed to take Willie Whitla to his apart- ments in Cleveland, but he insists he knew nothing of any correspondence regarding the ransom. If any corre spondence was had in regard to it, he says, it must have been conducted by Mrs. Boyle and he calls attention te the fact that it was she who had the/| money when they were arrested.

It is now thoroughly established among the best medical authori- ties that eczema is purely a skin disease due to a germ, and cur- able only through the skin, It is not a blood disease at all; in fact, thousands of people suffer with skin disease and are perfectly healthy and otherwise, and thereby prove they have no diseased blood. : Smeary salves cannot reach the germs because they do not pene- The only way to reach the germs in by means of a Ppenetrating liquid, Such a liquid can be obtained by simply mixing ordinary oil of wintergreen with thymol, glycerine and other healing agents, This compound, known as D.
