Dickenson of Buena Vista arrived in the city lasteven- ing from - Northome, where she had been visiting with the family of her brother, C. W. Speelman, the North- ome merchant. Mr. and Mrs. William Bagsley de- parted last evening for Rochester, in response to a telegram stating that J. D. Fuller, father of Mrs. Bagsley, was so seriously ill that he would certainly expire. Allen Underwood, who owns a “thirst emporium” at Kelliher, came down this morning from that place and mingled with Bemidji friends during the day, intending to return home this evening. P. C. Allen of Crookston came to the city last night and was a visitor in Bemidji today. He declared that it seemed good to get a “‘whiff” of the health-laden air which abounds here and makes robustful citizens of usall.” Dr. McDonald of St. Cloud, state veterinarian, Sundayed in Bemidji. The doctor had intended going home last night, but local matters in which he isofficially interested necessitated a further stay in this most pro- gressive of north-central Minnesota towns. Miss Olga: Johnson, Drs. Osborn, Koch and Freeburg, Bunn T. Will- son, L. J. Rondemme and James R. Reed came down this morning from Blackduck to be present at the last day of the Koch trial for the purpose of hearing the arguments of the opposing attorneys. C. W. Vandersluis, the local com- mercial traveler who “makes” north- ern Minnesota towns for the Jenney- Semple-Hill Hardware company of Minneapolis, departed this morning for Walker on his usual weekly trip to that place. Mr. Vandersluis says that business in his line is fairly good, everything considered. The ice which has covered Lake Bemidji since some time prior to Thanksgiying, has almost entirely disappeared from the surface of the lake and has gone to “Davy Jones’ locker,” so to speak. Many motor boats were out on the lake yesterday and the fishermen took advantage of the absence of the congealed aqua pura to catch some good strings of fish from the lake. From now until late this fall the summer sea- son may be said to be ‘“‘on” in Be- midji and vicinity. The Hotel Markham was the temporary home yesterday of a score or more of traveling men who vyisit the different towns in north-central Minnesota, These “knights of the grip” appreciate the fact that Be- midji, in the Hotel Markham, has one of the very best modern-con- ducted hostelries to be found any- where north of the twin cities, and they always try to “make” Bemidiji so as to spend Sunday in this city. Manager Lycan is giving this city a hotel of which every resident can well be proud; and the traveling fraternity to a man swear by the Markham.

Northwestern Missouri and Eastern and Central Kansas and extending into Oklahoma and which in places reached the proportions of a tornado, shows three known dead, six others missing and fifty-five injured. The principal damage was done at Hollis, a town of 150 inhabitants near Concordia, Kan., and at Mount Wash- ington, Mo., a suburb eight miles east of ‘Kansas City. In both of these places practically every house was either damaged or demolished and dozens of persons injured. Near Great Bend a tornado killed two and injured twenty. William Ackerly, a Santa Fe engineer, was killed, as was Frank Nicholson, a con- ductor. The tornado wrecked the work train of which Ackerly was the engineer and blew it into a ditch, Many washbouts demoralized rail- road traffic. CONSIDERS STRIKE AT END French Government Fears No Further Spread of Trouble. Paris, May 17.—The government re- gards the strike of the government employes, particularly the postmen, as virtually ended. The bombastic speeches and resolutions delivered at the strikers’ meetings have had no sequel and the threat of a railroad strike is considered as a pure bluff. More strikers have returned to work. They entered the movement from pro- fessional motives, but they are now alarmed by the revolutionary designs of the leaders. Moreover, the Gen- that the psychological moment has passed and that the movement is doomed to failure, is no longer anx- ious to associate itself with a lost cause. The cabinet considered the strike of the postmen and approved the dis- missal of 813 additional employes ac- cused of inciting to revolt. The text of a new bill definitely reg- ulating the right of state employes to form associations, but specifically ex- cluding the- right to strike, will at once be submitted to parliament. Moreover, the cabinet has agreed to ask the senate to proceed to the con- sideration of the workmen's pension bill early in June. Bar Negroes From German Army. Berlin, May 15-—The Prussian mili- continue the enlistment of negroes in the army. This ruling applies chiefly to the military bands, in several of ‘which there are African’ drummers. The explanation offered unofficially is that the negroes in question have adopted the vices and none of the vir- tues of German civilization. ‘Women Outnumber the Men.

The object of the resolution is to determine whether the retailers of the country are prac- ticing extortion. In moving the resolution be re- ferred to the committee on finance Mr. Hale said it conferred no new authority upon that committee and could only embarrass it. Bemidji Ice Co. Regular deliveries made to all parts of the town. Tele- phone 406 Anderson & Blocker, Pps. Telephone 406 Mr. Johnstone of Alabama treated the tariff humorously. He congratu- lated the majority that it had placed “spunk” on the free list and said if there was more of that article the Re- publicans would make a better tariff bill. ‘When the steel schedule was taken up Mr. Aldrich withdrew the amend- ment of the committee on finance in- creasing the duty on structural steel from three-tenths to four-tenths of 1 cent a pound and the house provision of three-tenths of 1 cent per pound was adopted. Referring to an amendment to this paragraph not permitting structural steel to be assembled when imported Mr. Aldrich said: Aldrich Is Apprehensive. “The rates of duty in this industry A. D.

Senators Cummins, Newlands and Smith of South Carolina contended that even with the reduced rate the duty was too high. Reading from the testimony of Mr. Carnegie before the ways and means committee concerning profits in the steel industry Mr. Tillman declared that Mr. Carnegle had made a vast amount of money by fa.oritism in leg: islation. “I will not say by dishonesty,” said Mr. Tillman, “because he has only taken advantage of the laws we pass. But he has made more money than the entire bunch of us here put to- gether and there are some very rich men in this senate. He has given away more money than all the Demo- crats of this body possess—ten times as much, T expect.” Saying Mr. Carnegie had taken his great wealth from the pockets of the people Mr. Tillman added: *“I use nails and wire fencing and other prod- ucts of his corporation and when I buy those things he takes money out of my pocket and puts it in his.” Postpones Date of Effect. ‘Washington, May 17.—Asa result of several conferences the interstate commerce commission announced a postponement’ from June 1 to July 1 the time for taking effect of its de- cision in what is known as the Spo- kane rate cases. A further hearing of the case will be had on June 9. Weather Benefits Business. New York, May 15.—Dispatches to Dun’s Trade Review indicate that general business has benefitted by more settled weather and the marked revival in iron and steel also had a stimulating effect. ALL WRONG. The Mistake is Made by Many Bemidji - Citizens. Don’t mistake the cause of back- ache. To be cured you must know the cause. Itis wrong to imagine relief is cure. Backache is kidney ache. You must cure the kidneys. A Bemidji resident tells you how this can be done. Clyde Johnson, living at 1014 Be- midji Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “For some time I endured a great deal of suffering from kidney: com- plaint. There was a pain in my back and during the early part of the day I felt languid and tired. 1 decided to try a reliable kidney rem- edy, went to the Owl Drug Store, and procured a box of Doan’s Kid- ney Pills. I used them according to directions, when ghe pains disap- peared and the tired, languid feeling vanished. I know Doan’s Kidney Pills to be a reliable remedy and can recommend them toanyone suffering from kidney complaint.
