Johnson™ Says There 18 No Possibility of His Run- ning Again. St. Paul, May 21.—Governor John A. Johnson will not bea candidate for a fourth term. He will retire from.the governorship in January, 1911, after six years of continuous service, and the 1910 contest is open for ‘candidates. The governor’s declaration was made in most em- phatic way when the question was submitted to him today. There was no mistaking his determination. The governor was nominated against his will last summer by the state convention, and there has been considerable talk among lead- ing Democrats of repeating the per- formance next year. The question was asked of Governor Johnson yes- terday. “Will you be a candidate for gov- ernor next year to succeed your- self?” “I will not,” the governor ans- wered with emphasis. “There is ab- solutely no chance that the occur- rence of last year will be repeated. Before the convention of 1908 I stated in most emphatic terms that I would not accept the nomination if it was offered me, and supposed that statement was' sufficient. The convention did not give me an op- portunity to decline. No committee was sent to ask whether I would change my mind. The convention nominated me and adjourned, and there seemed to be no alternative. I accepted the nomination most un- willingly and made the fight. ¢Can-that happen again? Not it I am in possession of my facul- ties. I have had one experience, and I know how to prevent that thing from happening again. I think I can easely say that the next Democratic state conventton will not consider my name as a candidate.” “ARE YOU GRAZY?” FOR NEXT SATURDAY EVENING Company Which Will Show at City Opera House Comes Here Well Recommended.

Constantinople, May 21.—The mem- bers of the chamber of deputies took oath in the presence of the sultan to uphold the constitution of Turkey and to protect the sheriat and the rights of the nation. The ceremony occurred in the chamber itself and a great crowd gathered outside the building and gave an ovation to Mehmed V. when he appeared upon the scene. Accom- panied by the grand vizier his ma- Jesty ascended the presidential trib- une. He then handed his speech to the grand vizier, who read it. The address made reference to the good relations existing between Turkey and all foreign powers and the desire of Turkey to strengthén these ties. Referring to the disturbances in Asi- atic Turkey the sultan expressed his keen regret and gave assurance that they would not occur again. This passage made a very good impression. ‘The reading of the address was punc- tuated by applause and ejaculations of “4nshallah.” At the conclusion of the speech his majesty repeated his oath to uphold the constitution and the grand vizier administered the oath to the various ministers and deputies individually. DERAIL PORTION OF TRAIN lowa Boys Put Tie on Track “to See the Splinters Fly.” Knoxville, Ia, May 21.—Willie Blggs, aged twelve, and Alvin Nich- ols, aged fourteen, were catching gophers at Knoxville, Ia.,, but the game became too tame, so they placed a tie across the railroad tracks just before a passenger train on the Rock Island came along. They wanted to watch the splinters fly, they said, when arrested by a railroad detec tive. The engine and two coaches were derailed, but no one was in- Jured. The arrests explain the mystery of what was thought to have been an attempt to rob the express car. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Mirneapolis Wheat.

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 Bemidii 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 the day I felt languid and tired. I 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 the pains disap- peared and the tired, languid feeling vanished.
