Tntered in the postofiice at Bemidjl. Minn., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM l ANENT SENATORIAL CANDIDATES. The St. Paul Pioneer Press con- tains the following interesting bit of gossip concerning the alleged senatorial ambitions of T. B. Walker, the multi-millionaire lumberman of Minneapolis: “T. B. Walker, the Minneapolis lumberman, is a candidate for the United States senate to succeed Moses E. Clapp. An announcement, it is said, may be expected from Mr. Walker in a short time. “He and his friends have been quiety getting the nucleus of an or- ganization, with the Fourth Ward Republican club as a starter. The leaders of the club have taken an active interest in his candidacy and it is probable that the open work of Walker’s election will start through that organization. “With Frank B. Kellogg a prob- able candidate and Senator Clapp willing to have another term, there may be a warm fight in the Re- publican party. If it is true that the Democrats are planning to elect Johnson to the senate, a fight in the opposing party will not hurt their plans any.” Another interesting rumor, which is wafted ftom the iron range, is that the frends of G. G. Hartley of Duluth would be greatly pleased to see the “Zenith City” stalwart get into the game as a candidate for the senate. Mr. Hartley is a powerful man, politically, when he “gets going” right, and as he has always “boosted” northern Minnesota and stood up for her rights, he would make a very formidable candidate, should he finally take kindly to the urging of his friends and enter the race, CAUSTIC COMMENT. [A. G, Rutledge.] THE ANNUAL SIEGE. In the spring a woman’s fancy lightly turns to cleaning house, In the spring the soapy water she will vigorously douse, On the window glass and mirrors, while her husband hies away, To some dingy spot of refuge, to escape the direful day. In the spring a newer polish tints the burnished kitchen stove, In the spring your coats and trous- ers o’er the alley fence are hove— (Maybe “hove” is wrong to use here, but it surely fits the case) In the spring a smudge of cob- webs decoratesthe housewife’s face. In the spring you come home weary and as through the wreck you creep, You discover there’s no dinner and you’ve not a place to sleep, And when gently you remark that there might be a saner plan For house-cleaning, shrills a chorus: “Huh! that’s just like 2 man!” TWO SONS WILL CONTEST Fight Over Spreckels Millions to Be- gin in July. San Francisco, May 27.—The con- test involving the estate of the late Claus Spreckels, the sugar magnate, who left a vast fortune divided be- tween his widow and three of his ohildren to the exclusion of his other two sons, will be begun July 19, ac- cording to a decision of Probate Judge Coftey. The matter at the bar is the de- murrer filed by John D. Spreckels and Adolph Spreckels to the petition for a partial distribution entered by Ru- dolph and Claus Spreckels, executors under the will The protestants are the two chil- dren ignored by the terms of the will and the argument on the demurrer may be the first step in a great will centest in California. WIRING OF FUSE DEFECTIVE Alleged Attempt to Blow Up Lake Steamer at Buffalo. Detroit, Mich., May 27.—President Willlam Livingstone of the Lake Car- rlers’ assoclation has recelved word from Buffalo that an attempt was made there to blow up the steamer F. T. Heffelfinger. Four sticks of dynamite, with a partly burned fuse attached to them, were found by mem- bers of the steamer’s crew in the dis- charge pipe of the ballast pump. “Only the fact that the wiring of the fuse was defective,” said President Livingstone, “saved the Heffelfinger from being destroyed.” The F. T. Heffelfinger is a modern steel freighter, 430 feet -long, and is owned by the Peavy Steamship com- pany of Duluth.

Fpsom, May 27.—The Epsom derby, the classic event of the English turf and the blue ribbon feature of the racing season, was run here and won by King Edward’s Minoru. In this victory the famous bay colt has made history, being the first occasion o which the greatest of all flat races on the turf has been won by an animal belonging to a reigning monarch. W. Raphael’s Louviers was second and Lord Michelham’s William the Fourth was third. The American crack, Sir Martin, owned by Louis Winans, an American resident of London, and bred in Kentucky by John E. Mad- den, of whom so much was expected, was nowhere in the race and fell down. Magnificent Minoru scored his vic- tory by a head onmly, while half a length divided the second and third horses. The victory of the king's horse was greeted by an outburst of enthusiasm the equal of which never has been witnessed at Epsom. The crowd at the course was wild with excitement and broke thmpugh the police cordon and almost mabbed King Edward as, following the time honored custom, his majesty, as owner of Minoru, led the champion into the paddock. WENERY DISCUSSES TARIFF 8ays South Is Changing on Question of Protection. Washington, May 27.—Promptly re- suming discussion of the sugar sched- ule of the tariff bill Mr. McEnery of Louisiana, in the senate, dealt with the attitude of the Southern states and Southern statesmen toward the policy of protection. He said: “That there is a change of sentl- ment going on in the Southern states In relation to protection was shown recently and I hope senators from the South who have supported protec- tion of every industry in the state may extend the vision of their horizon and accord protection to great na- tional interests.” Mr. McEnery spoke specially of the need of a protective tariff on lumber, which Industry, he said, employed 36,000 men, producing lumber worth $44,000,000 annually. After pointing out that Bouthern senators had voted for a duty on lum- ber, which produces a revenue of only $2,000,000 annually, Mr. McEnery called attention to the vastly greater income produced by sugar, which yields a revenue of $60,000,000. * want to appeal to Southern senators,” e declared in ringing tones, “to aban- don their absurd ideas of a tariff for revenue only and vote to support the industries of the United States.” T s~ FELT OVER LARGE AREA Territory Covered Included Portions of Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mich- Igan and lowa—Several Small Fires Started by Overturning of Stoves and a Large Number of Chimneys Were Razed. Chicago, May 27.—A slight earth- quake shock lasting only a few sec- onds was felt in the states of Indiana, Ilinols, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and contiguous territory, beginning at 8:dla m. Early reports covered a territory from Springfield, 1L, through Daven- port, Ia., and Janesville, Wis., te Mus- kegon, Mich.

Throughout the territory affected the only damage was of a minor na- turg. Several small fires were start- od by the overturning of stoves and miany chimneys were razed. Aurora, JIL, is sald to have suffered particu- larly in this respect. In this city the shock was generally felt, but in a great majority of cases was attributed to ordinary -causes, such as the passage of street cars, elevated trains, blasting in distant quarries or the passage of structural iron on big trucks through the streets. It was not until newspapers made their appearance with the sfory that the public learned that they had passed through a natural phenomenon., Some Small Fires Started. Damage in Chicago and elsewhere Wwas confined to the breaking of dishes and ornaments shaken from mantle- pleces or tables. No fires of material consequence were reported. In the skigts of the city several small 8 Wwere started, but were extin- finhed by the householders them- sives. During the period of the vibration &as slpost impossible to get cor- ? telephone connections, owing to e swaying of the wires against each other. At Beloit, Wis., all the college build- ings rocked violently. Many persons exporienced difficulty remaining on thoir feet. At Joliet, 111, chairs and other light objects were ovrturned and at Dixon &pe fires were shaken out. At South Haven and Benton Harbor, Mich., windows rattled violently and much chinaware was broken. At Dubuque, I, the vibration seemed to have had the effect of two shocks. Davenport, Ia., also felt two shocks, the first shock being the more violent.

When the skin of an eczema sufferer itches and burns in untold agony, do you know what is going on within the pores of that skin? Myriads of microscopic atimals are gnawing at the flesh, breaking down the fine cells and causing festers, thick scales and that terri- ble itch. The germs multiply faster than Nature can throw them off, Now, there is only one way to get rid of these germs—they must be killed in their lodging places. Dosing the stomach or trying to cure the blood will not, of course, kill the germs, and that is why all the blood remedies fail in eczema; that is also why salves which do not penetrate can do no perman- ent good. Ordinary oil of wintergreen properly compounded in liquid form will penetrate the pores of the skin and kill the eczema germs. If properly mixed with thymol, glycerine and other ingredients (asin D. D. D. Prescription) this wash will build up the tissues of the skin and promote its healthy growth, giving" Nature a chance, while killing the germs faster than they can multiply. Barker’s Drug Store of this city, carries D, D. D. Prescription, also D- D. D. Seap in stock.
