The enterprising citizens of that city have discovered that cliques and factions each armed with an expensive newspaper is a positive detriment to the progress and advance of that city, and a de- cidedly losing venture for the pub- lishers of the respective ‘organs.’ Consequently, consolidation has solved the difficulty. “The Bemidji Pioneer has taken over the News and Record plants, leaving only the Bemidji Pioneer and Bemidji Sentinel in existence. Messrs. C. J. Pryor and G. E. Carson are business managers of the Be- midji Pioneer, while A. G. Rutledge, northern Minnesota’s premier boost- er, will continue to serve up the best of news to the Pioneer readers. “Of the consolidation the Black- duck American very pertinently re- marks: ‘Many communities are afflicted with too many jim crow papers, begging for support, and panderingto every unworthy interest in an effort to sustain life. The level-headed business men of every town should refuse to support an ex- tra paper simply because some dis- gruntled citizen feels that he has an axe to grind. The making and pub- dishing of a paper is a business -proposition, pure and simple, and not a vehicle for the dissemination of spite and selfish spleen.’ ”’ EMPLOYERS’ LIABILITY SUIT Government Permitted to Intervene in Case. Washington, May 4.—The govern- ment has filed in the supreme court of errors, New London county, Secc- ond judicial district of Connecticut, its brief in the case of Edgar G. Mon- don, plaintiff, against the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. The case was brought un- der the employers’ 1 v act of April 22, 1908, and the government, by permission of the court, is allowed to intervene and file a brief in sup- port of the constitutionality of the act, which has been challenged by the defendant company. Attorney General Wickersham and Wade H. Ellfs, his assistant, who prepared the brief, have taken a sirong pe in- terest in this case bhecause of it great importanee and at the outset state that the government has no in- terest in any other question involved than to defend the validity of a whole- some and important act of congress passed for the protection of a vast number of citizens and for the safety of interstate commerce. BENERAL MASSACRE HAD BEEN PLARNED Evidence Connecting Depased Sultan With the Affair, Constantinople, May 4.—Documen tary evidence has been discovered among the records of the telegraph office here of the knowledge of the Constantinonle authe that mas- sacres had been planned for the Adana district and that they were to coincide with the pelitical cvents here.

Lists of houses, with notes on the kind of loot to be found there- in, were discovered on some of the prisoners now in custody. The ar- rangements were for a general mas- sacre of foreigners in Constantinople, including the . diplomatic representa- tives, on April 24. The Turkish cabinet has resigned. The political situation is bewiidering and no one can tell what the outcome will be. This latest ministry was or- ganized April 30, with Tewfik Pasha .as grand vizier.

SIMPLE WASH : GURES EGZEMA Why Salves Fail While a Simple Liquid Has Accomplished Thousands of Cures. 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, Itis 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- trate the skin. The only way to reach the germs in by means of a penetrating 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. D, D. Prescription, stops the itch instantly—and the cures all appear to be permanent, In fact, it took thousands of cures, case after case, before the best scientific authori- ties were convinced of the absolute merit of this remedy, D. D. D, Prescription kills the germs in the itching skin. Its effect is seen within one minute after the first application. We especially recom- mend D. D. D, Soap in connec- tion with the treatment.
