Welles will withdraw from the editorial columns of the Sauk Center Herald, having leased his excellent paper to E. H. Pierce of Grafton, N. Dak. Welles doesn’t tell us why he drops out, but if he appears with the editors at Bemidji in July we’ll see to it that he is made to apolo- gize for his act.—Walker Pilot. While we are sorry that Editor Welles is to leave the Herald, itisa source of pleasure to k now that E. H. 'Pierce isto step into the shoes formerly worn by Mr. Welles. It has been the writer’s privilege to have had a personal acquaintance with Mr. Pierce, dating back many years; and we know him as a mighty fine fellow. A humorist of much more than the average ability, a keen writer on any topic, and withal a straight-forward, kindly gentleman, Mr. Pierce is one of the best of the old school ot all-around printers and newspaper men whom it is really a treat to know; and Bro. Dare should at once get into touch with the new scribe on the Sauk Center paper; he’ll like him. TIMELY COMMENT ANENT THE TARIFF. *“No doubt business would be all the better if tariff discussion were hung up for a number of years, but manufacturers are not entitled to demand that the people of the United States shall swallow whole the tariff as it shall please Mr. Al. drich to make it. No doubt there would be some revival of business if the people were willing to do that, but it is they that have the liberty to tax themselves under the Consti- tution, and not the middleman dealing in hides in Chicago, or the manufacturer of gloves in New York State. The tariff question is up for settlement, and it is worth our while to pay a heavy price to have it settled satisfactory. Ifitisto be rushed through Congress without proper consideration now, it will come up again in a much more acute form in the near future.” Thusly speaks not the Commoner, nor yet La Follette’s Magazine, but the Wall Street Journal. And it tells the plain truth as the wisest leaders of finance see it today. SLAYS FIVE AND ___ WOUNDS THREE Workman in Slaughter House Becomes Suddenly Insane. Somerville, Mass,, June 7.—Five men are dead and three others injured as the result of an attack by a work- man who became suddenly insane at the North Packing company’s plant here. The workman, whose name is sald to be Thomas Murphy, was seized with mania while at work in the slaughter house. Armed with a big knife which he used in his work he ran through the factory, lunging at every one within reach. Five of the eight men attacked are sald to have been almost instantly killed.

STRIKE APPEARS T0 BE NEAR END Effort to Settle Philadelphia Tieup May Succeed. - MAYOR ACTS AS MEDIATOR Holds Long: Conference With Reprs- sentatives of the Employes and Later Submits Their Demands to the Company—Head of Concern De- clares He Stands. Ready' to Accept and Carry Out Proposal. Philadelphia, June j.—Prospects for a settlement.of the strike of the em- ployes of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company are brighter than at any time since the strike began. Both sides have agreed to make conces- sions and predictions are made that there will be a complete resumption of street car service shortly. This situation has been brought about hy the Republican leaders of the city, whose plans for the coming grimary elections have been inter- fered with this week by the spirit of turbulence that spread over the city in the last three days. After a conference in the city hall Mayor Reyburn made public a letter addressed to John B. Parsonms, presi- dent of the Transit company, in which he offered terms for a settlement of the strike as follows: “First—All former employes shall be restored to their former positions. “Second—Arrangements to be made by which a standard uniform adopted by the company may be purchased by your employes from any one of not less than five reputable clothiers. Right to Discuss Grlevances. “Third—Your employes to form -a representative body to consist of one of their number elected by a major- ity vote from each barn, which body shall in turn designate a smaller working committee of its own mem- bers, which shall from time to time be accorded full opportunity to take up with the proper officers of the company any and all questions affect- ing the rights of employes. “Fourth—This committee to take up at once with the management of the company the schedules, with a view of making such changes in hours and working conditions as are consistent with proper service to the public. “Fifth—The rate of wages begin- ning July 1, 1909, to be 22 cents an hour. “Sixth—These conditions to con- tinue for one, two or three years, as may be agreed upon with said com- pany.” President Parsons made an immedt- ate reply in which he sald: “After communicating with such members of the board as I have been able to reach I answer that the com- pany accepts your suggestions and stands ready to carry them out in their full intent and spirit.” There is no improvement in the street car service and minor disturb- ances continue. MR. WU AT CONEY ISLAND Says Amusements There Would Shock Chinese Women. New York, June J—“You ‘Amer- leans work harder when you play than we do in China when we are really working,” said Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, after the turbulence of an evening at Coney Island. - “And I had never been to Coney Island before,” he regretted gravely. “In no place in the world that I have ever been is there anything at all like it,” he went on in his precise Eng- lish. “What would the Chinese people think of Coney Island if it were sud- denly set down there?” “China would not be prepared for a Coney Island now,” he conceded dip- lomatically. “Meaning that your.country people would be shocked by the things at Coney Island?" “Yes,” he admitted, “they would be —especially the women. Our women would not do .those Coney Island things, slides and merry-go-rounds and all that, and they would be shocked to see any other woman do it.” INDIANS QUIT THE DISTRICT Strange Rumblings Heard in the San Jacinto Mountains. - San Bernardino, Cal., June \ —Man- uel Lopez, who has arrived from the Ban Jacinto mountains, brings infor- mation concerning strange rumblings heard for many weeks. He declares the Indians are leaving, with all their superstitious fears aroused. Lopez made a thorough investigation and believes the sounds come from a sub- terranean waterfall, which, he says, probably caused the earth tremors thereabouts. His statement substantially corrob- srates that of others arriving from that region. He declares there is no cause for alarm. Man Seeking Work Uses Gun. Beattyville, Ky., June j.—Charles Eveleth, general manager of the Ken- tucky Northern railroad, was shot by Edward Riley, who was seeking em- ployment. Eveleth, after he was wounded, shot Riley twice. Both men are dying. POLICE SEEKING MURDERER Chicago Officials Admit Aged Physl- cian Did Not Kill Self. Chicago, June ! ,—Investigation hav- ing demonstrated almost beyond doubt, that Dr. John T. Brinkley, Sr., of Ev- ansville, Ind.,, was murdered the po- lice have begun active search for the murderer. From the fact that a pis- tol was found by the physician's side local officials were at first inclined to Insist that he had taken his own life, but discovery that he carrled no weapon, was in the best of spirits at e Time or his sudaen deatnu -at the Wellington hotel and that the posi- tion of the wound precluded probabil- ity that death was self-inflicted Jed to .readjustment of official views. Search is directed largely at tracing |ownership of. the pistol found by the dead man’s side. SESSTON ENDS WITH‘nEbiiifii Prohibition Paper Makes 'Serlous Charge Aga'nst Legislators. Chicago, June &—Under the head- Ing of “A Bi-Partisan Debauch” this week’s issue of the National Prohjbi- tionist charges the Illinois legislature with closing its session last Sunday with a drunken carousal. N The “staff correspondent” of the paper, writing under a Springfield date line, accuses the assemblymen of be- ing drunk. He charges that beer was served in committee rooms, that vul- garity and disorder were permitted on. the floor and that : messenger boys in knee trousers became intoxicated. The article says: “Bottles of beer were brought to the coatrooms and representatives made continuous pilgrimages to-this shrine of spirituous comforts, Later the wet goods were transferred to one of the committee rooms and still later to one of the rooms at the rear of the speaker’s desk. “Thus the night passed. One rep- resentative lay hors de combat in the Democratic coatroom. In the language of the messenger boys he was com- pletely dead to the world. In common. language he was dead drunk. Another lay upon a settee, with his shoes off, snoring in drunken slumber. “There were others on the floor of the house who, though still able to navigate, were plainly under the in- fluence of liquor.” LOSS SO FAR PLAGED AT ONE MILLION Canadian- Forest Fire Covers Hundreds of Miles. ® Dauphin, Man., June §.—A forest fire covering hundreds of miles of timber is sweeping over the North Saskatchewan country. The fire extends for hundreds of miles between Crooked river and Bowsman and from Hudson Bay Junc- tion almost to the pass. No loss of life is reported as yet, but it is feared that farmers Wving in comparatively sparsely settled dis- tricts and away from the railroad have suffered. It is estimated $1,000,000 worth of property has already been destroyed. The entire plant of the Ruby Lake Lumber company and saw mills on the Hudson Bay branch were wiped out. Passengers arriving on trains from the north reported that the heat was so intense that they could feel it in the coaches. The windows were so hot they could not touch them. The district is largely settled by United States immigrants. SEVERE QUAKE REGISTERED Soismographs at Manila Record In- tense Disturbance. Manila, June j—Beginping at 2:46 a.m. and continuing until 5:02 a. m. the seismographs at the obgervat here registered an intense mierogell- mic disturbance. It {8 estimated that the earthquake was 1,400 to 3,000 miles distant. The records epyres closely to that obtained in Februi 1903, during the earthquakes in Javal and Sumatra. Singapore, June /J—A doup! h quake was experienced here a. m. No damage was done. GOLF BETTER THAN FINANCE Rockefeller Declares He Is Not In- terested in Latter. New York, June 7.—Saying that the financial situation is not half as in- teresting as golf John D. Rockefeller returned here from Hot Springs, Va., where he took Mrs. Rockefeller five months ago for her health. “We have had a splendid time,” sald Mr. Rockefeller, “and Mrs. Rockefeller is much better.” Mr. Rockefeller was asked if he cared to say -anything regarding the financial situation. “What do I know about the financial situation?” he re- plied. “Why, finance can’t be com- pared with golf. I hope some day to be able to play good golf. I have played a good deal of it In my life.” He spoke feelingly of the recent death of H. H. Rogers. “It 1s sad, very sad,” he sald. CARS ARE NOT PATRONIZED Evansville (Ind.) People Refuse to Ride -With Strikebreakers. . Evansville, Ind., June 5.—Boycott on the street car company here continues effectively and advice of a committee of business men and manufacturers that the strikers should return to work as individuals has not worked to change public sentiment, which is largely against riding on cars manned by strikebreakers. The company is running all its cars on schedule. Four schoolteachers seen aboard cars have been warned that if they ride again during the strike many puplls will be kept at home. The company refuses to recognize the union and will only promise to raise wages when profite increase. Cotton Exports to China. Washington, June |—As the result of a return toward normal conditions the American exports of cotton goods to China are. again on the increase, recording to the bureau of statisties. Exports of cotton cloths to China aver- aged in the fiscal years 1905 and 1906 486,000,000 yards- per annum; in 1907 and 1908 they averaged but 68,000,000 per annum, Gr one-seventh as much as the average of 1905 and 1906. BIG BUSINESS ON STOCK EXCHANGE ‘Speculative Activity Contin- nes Unchecked. PUBLIC NOT RESPONSIBLE Outburst of Buying Said to Be Due to Operations of Important Financia! Interests and Group of Heavy Op- erators—Harriman and Hill Securi. ties, Atchison and Steel the Prin- cipal Stocks-Dealt In. New York, June f.—Speculative ac- tivity was again strongly in evidence at the opening of trading on the stock exchange. - Opinion in Wall street is that the present outburst of specula- tive enthusiasm is due less to buying of the general public than to the op- erations of important finaneial inter- ests and to a group of heavy oper- ators, some of whom were until re- cently on the bear side of the market. Continued ease of money is a large factor in the present speculative movement, as are also reports of im- proved industrial conditions and a general belief in excellenée of- crop prospects. Another ifmportant factor is the introduction of American se- curities on the Paris bourse. Trading in the first half hour was probably well in excess of 200,000 shares, with the Harriman and Hill issues, Atchison and the Steel stocks the most conspicuous features. Heavy realizing for profits in the Steel stocks was reported and this selling was re- flected in the pressure on these par- ticular issues. It was rumored that a private settlement of some 70,000 shares of United States Steel com- mon was effected for a large short in- terest at a price higher than the stock has yet sold in the open market. Trading in the first hour exceeded 600,000 shares. While the marlet was broad the great bulk of the busi- ness was in the Harriman and Hill stocks, Atchison and United States Steel. . DRAMATIC SCENE IN CELL Woman Visits Chicago Physician Ac- cused of Wife Murder. Chicago, June i.—A dramatic scene occurred at the Sheffield avenue po- lice station when Miss Anna Kolb was taken to the cell occupied by the al- leged wife murderer, Dr. Haldane Cleminson. It was from Miss Kolb that the police obtained the names of a number of women with whom Dr. Cleminson is said to have been on friendly terms. Miss Kolb admitted to Captain Kane that she had been a patient under Dr. Cleminson at the Chieago Union hospital and that he had paid considerable attention to her. Upon being taken to the physician’s cell Miss Kolb screamed hysterically. She was left there for ten minutes, with a detective nearby. What the conversation between the two was about the police refused to make pub- He, but their talk terminated with a second series of screams by Miss Kolb and she was led away. Captain Kane stated that Miss Kolb, while of value to the investigation of the case, was not the woman most wanted. FEAR MANY HAVE PERISHED Anxiety Felt for Safety of Fishing Fleet. St. Johns, N. F., June 7.—To the great anxiety felt here by ship owners and the relatives of the 300 men com- prising the crews of twenty fishing schooners a week overdue at this port from Bonavista bay, because of ice in menacing proportions, has been add- ed the fear of disaster from a com bination of ice floes and storm.

The testimony of a Bemidji citi- zen Can be easily investigated, ‘What better proof can be had? Mrs, J. E. Cahill, living at 817 Minnesota avenue, Bemidji, Minn., says: I have never had any seri- ous trouble with my kidneys, but a few months ago there was unmis- takable signs that my kidneys were disordered, the principal one being apain through the small of my back. I heard so much about Doan’s Kidney Pills that I con- cluded to give them a trial, and procored a box at the Owl Drug Store. I used them according to directions, was cured and have felt perfectly well since. I am satisfied with the results that fol- lowed the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills in my case and have no hesitancy in recommending this remedy to other persons suffering from kidney complaint.” For sale by all dealers.
